The World of Avlis

Yep, it took some time till they finally mentioned NWNX - actually, back a year or two, I would not believe they would go so far as to actually officially recognize it even exists... how things change.

That makes the... 1.. 2... 3rd (?) appearence of Avlis on a Bioware Wednesday. Cool.

FYI: If you used the Avlis custom content installers, there's a backup of the original dialog.tlk file in the "Avlis" subdirectory.

All servers have been upgraded to patchlevel 1.61, Shadows of the Undrentide. You need an updated CoPaP Hakpak (version 2.0) from our FTP server or from the mirror sites (please check the download page). The download page hasn't been updated as of 12/23, it still points to version 1 of the CoPaP hak...

Of course, the linux version of the dedicated servers handles up to 96 players by default

64 players is not an option for even moderately complex PWs right now, but 2-3 years down the road the computers will be fast enough to handle even more, so this is a good thing.

Sure you can try Avlis out. Connect to:

avlis.blackdagger.net

on ports:

5121 City of Mikona
5122 Wilderness of Avlis
5123 City of Elyisia
5124 City of Le'Or'T'Nanshi
5125 Nation of Deglos
5126 Nation of Ferrell

The most action should happen on servers 1-3.

Welcome on the team

Uhm, was my wording really this unclear ? Ok, here goes: You do not need the installers if you have downloaded the hakpak from nwvault. They are just there for you convenience! First, the custom content installers come in different flavours, on the one hand one for each server and on the other hand ...

* AvlisUniversalAndCoPaPHaks.exe has been updated. I suggest you get "CoPaPHak1_0.rar" instead, since it's much smaller than the installer. * AvlisLeOrTNanshi.exe has been updated to include the new treecity tileset. * AvlisCustomContent21.exe includes both updates. Do I get a price for the fast upd...

You can make ghost elves now, without crashing the server

Not that I need it , but this sounds like a powerful tool that helps you in creating scripted quests:

I wonder, is it any good in the real world ?

Give it at least two weeks before huge changes like this one work nicely.

Sure there is a way. Someone just has to code it

Two second reasons actually, serving coffee and sweets in Fussen. I desperately need a picture of those two (please God of Avlis hear my prayer...) I think I'll need some more of that delicious cake from F?ssen. Oh wait... can you have two cakes ? Will the other cake decompose in the meantime ? Can...

During the relatively short time I attended the meet (Saturday evening and most of Sunday), I enjoyed it very much. It was a great experience to finally get to know some of the people I've been working and chatting with for a long time in person. As I already said to Brannor, major props for organiz...

I'll try to reproduce it.

The Avlis custom content installers don't do that, Bioware's patch program does.

Updated FULL installs: The content installers "AvlisUniversalAndCoPaPHaks.exe" (36,5 MB), "AvlisCustomContent21.exe" (160 MB), and "AvlisFerrell.exe" (12,9 MB). Patches: If you already have the CFR hakpak for Ferrel, you can also get the "Avlis CFR Hakpak Patch 2.1.exe" (75KB) update patch. The CoPa...

Ah yes, even better, make it one script then

RP aside, who needs a switchable light in a NWN inhouse area ? The day/night cycle hasn't got any effect on inhouse areas, so it never gets dark anyway. Am I missing something here ? Apart from that, why do you set a local int (true/false) on the object, if you never read it ? Second, you can drop t...

Marauder, you can do things like this in single player, but doing this in an Avlis script is a sure way to get your script rejected .

I don't think removing the effect would reduce CPU time. Once the effect has been created, I don't see how it would need CPU cycles - on the client yes, but on the server ? Don't think so.

We generally do not accept scripts for player housing, except the standard scripts for sitting, autoclosing, and so on. In the very slight chance that an exception is made to this rule, the scripts have to come from an expert coder and be optimized to the last few bits, have a proper naming scheme ...

Use daemon tools... no-cd patches suck.

does this mean you will proceed with other development updates now? like fixing broken trans? is the freeze over? *prays to Dra'Nar* I'm not sure about the "now", but the freeze will be over soon, that is correct. We will have to look into some other things first, hidden doors for example. Then, th...

AFAIK, Internet Explorer has troubles getting large files from FTP servers, whereas HTTP works fine.
