The World of Avlis

Dealing with a bit of a family crisis. I'll be AFK-ish.

Happy Birthday!

Wow. Those areas were brilliant and he didn't even miss a beat when the players threw in a twist of their own.

Rawr!

I'd like to shout out everyone who has been playing and DMing recently. It's been a blast to come back, hang out, and adventure with you all. Mega kudos, thankyou!

I'll second this. I've been missing something recently and coming back has been amazing.

Congrats!

Afraid StartConnectToSession was a dead end. Or I don't get how Nixie (NWNX:EE) does their hooks. Sorry y'all.

I have some very unpleasant things to say about WSL2 and I wasted so much time on both the .29 server and the associated NWNX:EE source (spoilers: use 26).

There's hope. See this: https://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?p=1461827#p1461827

It would be vastly better if they'd implement the authentication hooks to be exposed via the API I asked for years ago. Instead of having a single global password (*headdesks*) passwords would be by account. That would be FAR less hassle than the hoops people have to jump through to get Alpha acces...

So it’s not easy to redirect Players to our Authenticator instead of BD’s? :cry: Redirection is the easy part. The question to be answered is: Do they both speak the same protocol? If not then somebody needs to figure out the new one. I was actually rather surprised that Bioware came up with someth...

This might not be the thread in which to ask this, but if the difficulty is with private authentication, could we switch to EE using their Authenticator and then convert to one of our own later as we did originally? :ka: Keep in mind that complaint is my gripe with the state of EE. The Avlis Team m...

Basic organizational dynamics. Attrition is normal and if you aren't constantly attracting new people you're going to shrink. At certain critical mass thresholds you'll see bigger population shifts. Getting folks set up on Legacy NWN is going to be a huge ask unfortunately. As for why Aerilith and R...

Bees are on the what now? Should I realign the johnson rods or would it be better to fire a concentrated tachyon burst from the reflector dish? You know what a fantastic job Bioware did of future proofing... How many icons are there? Did you cross some threshold? If the datatype they used can only ...

Does everybody see this or just you? If the former it could be that the index wrapped on you.

Still no mention at all of where NWNX came from originally, and I have no clue how they can ignore the GPL, and redo it without even recognizing the origins of it (I'd ask my lawyer mum, but I never understand that legal stuff, heh).[/i] :P Simple, they wrote their own. They haven't used any of the...

Some of the PW admins have been making unreasonable demands and even threats to protect their turf as far as player retention goes. Did you actually read the concerns or did you dismiss them as poors? There are valid concerns beyond not willing to part with $20. Since the kerfuffle I'm adding poor ...

Oof. Drama already. See the longer 1.69 compatibility thread in the Persistent World forum. Sad that a BD dev resorted to threats and accusations instead of clarifying their position. I bumped my thread but I'm not holding my breath on a positive response from BD. I also asked what happens during a ...

Would just release the master server code if Beamdog went out of business. Expressed a desire to not see another scenario like before when the master server died. (I made it a point to push this question myself.) Did they name the escrow service they hired to manage this along with the exact trigge...

*bribes PJ with cases of scotch, or week long passes to the nearest hooker ranch, if he would come back to play in CCC more often* Only sorta kidding there. :P I have absolutely been spoiled by modern MMO mechanics, graphics, and dungeon design. Going back to D&D rules is excruciatingly painful. I ...

See, y'all aren't making the save vs. Grumpy Old Engineer any easier. There are far too many warts in the NWN engine to seriously consider it for anything other than a nostalgia project. If there's a decision to "start fresh" why would a team want to shackle themselves to an NWN engine when there ar...
