New CoPaP Hak Available

Post by **Orleron** » Thu Jan 13, 2005 2:08 pm

This is the new hak that is for 1.65. It contains bug fixes and minor changes for the version upgrade. A version 4.5 will probably follow within the next month or so, but for now, begin downloading this one. We will not all be switching to it immediately, but CoPaP worlds will start upgrading to 1.65 any minute now.

Also, please mirror this if you are able.

I'm a bit confused. Does this mean that in a few minutes, if not already, we will need this new hak (copaphak4_4.rar) to play on every CoPaP world? Just some? Do we need to update to 1.65 now?

Thanks.

Download the Hak.

DONT UPGRADE!

When the server on asks for that hak it will use it. When you DL a hak it doesnt delete the other one so just put it in your folder.

They will tell us when to upgrade.

Do NOT update to 1.65 yet. Just download the hak so you have it when we do. Other CoPaP worlds might start updating to 1.65 at any time, but we will probably take a few days to do it. So if you want to be able to play here, don't do it until we give the word.

That clears it up for me. Thanks.

Here is a temp mirror as this is probably going to be downloaded a lot of times

If somebody puts it on the Avlis ftp server, it will automatically end up on my mirror.

WOW. I have been away from Avlis for a very long time, and this is why. 1.65 patch was updated what seems like over a month ago, and you guys still havent gotten it. I have to say that I am most likely done with the whole CoPaP thing, and honestly , it's a damn shame.

Avlis is one of the best designed worlds out there, and it faulters only with its' association with this CoPaP organisation. I really wished it hadnt taken you folks so god oftly long to get this new patch updated.

Good Luck all,

Sorry CoPaP doesn't fit you.

Good luck in your search for another pass-time.

Nothing to see here, people, move along.

Well, i've seen a number of people quit Avlis for one reason or another. But this is a new one. If you gotta find a reason to quit, then that's as good as any other.

Oh, one more thing...What The?!?

Post by **Orleron** » Sat Jan 15, 2005 3:35 pm

lol

Yeah, we like to make sure that there are no major game-killing bugs in every bioware patch and we like to put something new into each hak if we can, for the players' enjoyment. How dare we. I wouldn't play here either.

Game on....

Good Luck all,

Different strokes and all that. I got to just add that this whole gap between bioware patch and the Avlis update is the reason I stopped playing on OTHER servers. I'd rather run on an older version and play here than anywhere else.

Nice work guys

Hi.

Could I just ask if any of the DMs have any rough ideas as to when they will update to 1.65 please?

It's just that.... well, I have been playing a module I downloaded from N.W. Vault, (which is made in parts/acts I, II, and III) and when I load up "Act III" of the module to start playing, I get a message saying - "could not open file because it was created using a newer version of the toolset and/or resources"
So I presume that the owner of the module has updated that particular one with patch 1.65.

I have really enjoyed playing Acts I & II, and it seems that now I cannot play Act III until the DMs here, update Avlis with 1.65 :-/

I just feel that, the sooner they update, the more I will be happier, so I can get to play their module. But all the same, I will do my best to wait patiently, and carry on my fun in Avlis until they do.

III is out ? COOOOOL!!!!!

Well, see, I think that everyone perhaps missed my point. Avlis has always been a secondary server for me. And the entire time I played here, I had a truely excellent experience. Though as a secondary server, I can only hold out for so long.

Since CoPaP has decided to take so long on updating their string of worlds, I am quite afraid that my character will have been either, 1) deleted due to inactivity or 2) be so far out of the loop, that their existance will be in vain.

One of these days, perhaps within the next few months, when CoPaP gets an update figured out, perhaps I will join this excellent world of Avlis once more.

I suppose I just dont understand when every other server that I have ever played on (and that's about 30 or 40) have updated their modules, and CoPaP still lingers with the old. And yes, alot of the other worlds I once played also had extreme haks as Avlis does.

Thank you,

It might surprise you to know that the primary reason for almost every wait to update is the same reason Avlis waits.

If I released the new CoPaP Hak 2 days after the patch comes out, Avlis would still take nearly as long to update. It's not about some unilateral decision made by myself.

The update is "figured out" and release to the worlds. It's entirely Avlis' decision when THEY update now. And you'll note that they still haven't.

Because this is, quite possibly, the biggest organization in the NWN PW community. This increases the factors for updating quite a bit. Furthermore, we've had BioWare changes break some pretty big systems in the past, and none of us take updates hastily and blindly. We prefer to KNOW nothing is seriously broken. And sometimes these things don't show themselves right away.

Please remember that this isn't "Avlis AND CoPaP."
This is CoPaP, of which, Avlis is a part.

You want to know the biggest reason I waited so long? Because of some very special content specifically FOR Avlis that we were hoping would get done sooner.

Oh, yeah, and did I mention I have a LIFE outside of CoPaP, and I had a death in the family?

One final note: Avlis is one of the founding worlds of CoPaP, and Orleron created CoPaP. Remember that when you insult "the rest of us." So to speak.

Well, I understand that I am only a "whiney peasant", but I must say, thank you Themicles for you response.

After re-reading my original post, I would have to say that my foot is now in my mouth. I was never saying that I didnt appreciate the effort behind all this. I was simply saying that I did not understand the reasoning behind it taking so long.

I actually am looking forward to being able to explore Avlis more when it is finally patched. I just hope my character is still there.

*waiting patiently*
