The World of Avlis

Want to add a link to this thread on the main page of the wiki and website? Or create a brand new page on the wiki, instead of a link to the forum. I can make that page if needed. I could also make a Google Forms, that sends to a DB, for all those questions people need to answer. Just formats it a b...

Word. And you can't compare EE to regular NWN. There's so many hoops you have to jump through to get standard NWN working vs EE, which just has a larger player base. It's just not easy to get on to Avlis on NWN vs jumping on any of those servers on EE, I just log in and it auto-downloads any haks an...

It's an older game and the main draw of it is RP, new stories and places to explore, and actual persistent change of the world. I think the main issue isn't adding more features that make characters have more abilities or more power but more ways to affect the world and forward the plot of the world...

Enjoyed the most recent "Pub Crawl" with the solo quest with social sharing and community building.
Very great simple/elegant event design that allowed for a great platform for all involved to share little bits about their characters.

Well done!

I heard about this on my Horse Radio Network Podcast "Horses in the Morning" ... I laughed and cried.. but I'm a horse girl.

Speaking of horses...

This is really awesome.
Well done!

Awesome! Thanks.

Yeah, I was looking for the settings in Wineskin but didn't find them. No rush though. I can still get it to work fine, it just takes a few extra steps.

I fixed the resolution problem. I set it to override the default and that allowed me to select the correct resolution. Now it works at full resolution. Not tried the nwcnx thing yet and of course no shortcuts for each server - but it does work - and faster than my Windows box :lol: When you set it ...

AWESOME!

Now if I upgrade my OS, I know where to look for answers!

Which porting kit? (link?) For resolution, I have issues because I run on two screens, so I actually need to turn off a screen when I open the Wineskin. When I do this it will register the current live monitor. I haven't looked into the Wineskin Graphics Settings though. Haven't played with VM Fusio...

Sounds about right...
Ugh. Well I guess I won't update then, until that's figured out.

Though, you could try doing the folder thing and seeing if that works, but yeah it sounds like its an El Capitan thing.

Nice!

I'm running Yosemite.

Try just grabbing your whole folder from your Windows PC and dropping it in. That's what I did and it worked fine. It was also easier, because I didn't have to deal with the updating.

If that doesn't work I can send you my Windows Fonts folder.

If that's the case you could just copy those into the Font folder inside of the bigger Windows directory inside the Winskin. If that doesn't work, perhaps copy and paste the full error here and maybe we can figure out what's going on. Its just strange that it works fine on my computer but not yours....

Did you try the links I used for files? Maybe the new files you're using have a conflict?

If its a font thing, maybe a font is missing from one of the folders inside?
Never had that issue.

Got NWN to work well on Mac with WineHQ. Works like a charm and no issues as of yet. Here's the lowdown on how to make it work: 1. Download this: http://forum.bioware.com/topic/125609-mac-nwn-wintoosx-wrapper/ More specifically this: https://www.mediafire.com/?2img3h1oh8j03 2. Read directions with p...

I'll try and swing by... If I can figure out how to log in...

I honestly don't think any DM, no matter how good, how great the tools are, or how planned out an event they have, can actually juggle more than 12 people. It just doesn't work well... and that doesn't even go into the lag issues. First of all there's just too many issues with group dynamics where h...

Been in a few HUGE DM events, and they were fun but sometimes there's just too many people, as I see it. It's hard to have big battles in NWN with the way servers are and lag and such so... I pose the question whats that magical number? Feel free to vote as I love to hear other opinions. Right now I...

OK so just wanted to rave K@ mainly because I just put in 1 billion new feature requests into the bug tracker...

So um... Sorry about that K@ and you rock.

Just be happy they still keep the website stuff up.
It's an old game and they've done a lot more for the community than just about any game I know of (besides maybe StarCraft and Warcraft 3 editing tools and such but I still think NWN is above and beyond that).

Thanks MadK@!!!

This is why:

That makes sense... I think it would depend on what you reward.
So you'd give rewards for the density of actions they took or perhaps the quality of actions they have taken.
That might work well.

My definition of RP. 1. Creating a character that I find appealing in some way. 2. Immersing myself into his/her world. 3. Becoming that PC so that while I am playing them I think like them. 4. Letting the PC live their life, with minor alterations by my wants. Live their life? What are the minor w...

Brayon, how do you define RP?
It's a fairly nebulous term.
