Do NOT update NWN to 1.62!!

Post by Strangg » Tue Feb 24, 2004 11:46 pm

As always Do NOT update NWN until we say so :-)

Fighters do it face to face, Rogues may do it from behind, Rangers can do it from a distance, Wizards do it from out of nowhere, Clerics may not do it at all, Barbarians may do it in a rage, Sorcerers can do it on a whim, Bards on a note, but Paladins have to pay for it!

Hope that you can find a backup patch to 1.61 on the bioware boards.

Spewun... I went off before the gun as usual. How long does it generally take before Avlis installs the new update?

For those who already have updated their NWN to 1.62, Bioware always releases a revert patch to the previous version. The revert patch from 1.62 to 1.61 isn't available yet but it should appear here soon, take a look from time to time just in case.

Does the patch update to 1628047 ? There are revert files in the bioware main patch directory for that version.
http://nwdownloads.bioware.com/neverwin ... h/english/
They are newer that the ones in the beta directory, but are still from a few days ago.

(I haven't updated to check. Just trying to help)

*edit* the main link at http://nwn.bioware.com/support/patch_revert_hotu.html has been updated with the proper revert patches for HoTU now. For those with only SoU and not HoTU use this one http://nwn.bioware.com/support/patch_revert_sou.html

I think it will look mostly like viewtopic.php?t=25974 (i read rumors the bollocked some things up with tlks in this patch... rumors...)

The best way to find out is to install it... (NO DONT DO IT UNTIL THE TEAM STATES IT'S TIME :) )

One of the people who installed it prematurely could check their nwn folder for a changes file and post it.

http://nwn.bioware.com/support/patchdetails162hotu.html

some of the more interesting ones noted below:

Fixed a bug that would cause placeable containers to get permanently stuck open.

Fixed a bug in the encounter system that would cause 1st level creatures to be spawned in once your character was above 20th level. This change affects all modules that are NOT the official campaign.

Added a confirmation box to the DM "Jump All Players to Point" feature.

Well, I'm sure people will find different changes interesting, but I know I've seen the first bug a dozen times at least, and I know our epic level chars have complained about bug 2, and well, we've all seen the famous DM jump all players to point misclick.

That's the biggy right there.

Of all the bug fixes, that one is one of the most welcome :)

Favorite Changes

Custom talk tables now work in multiplayer games. If you don't have the module's required "*.tlk" file in your "tlk" directory the module wont load and you will be given an error message telling you that the tlk file is missing. This behaviour is the same as for Hak Paks. (YEAH!!!)

Added a confirmation box to the DM "Jump All Players to Point" feature. (Hello Silk, Aloro, Jadeia...and probably everyone else).

Creatures now drop out of stealth mode and lose invisibility effects when they die. Makes it a little easier to find the body for resurrection purposes. (Yes it?s happened to me)

Least Favorite Change

Shit... If I as a DM wanted someone dead, I'd just use the DM kill button. :twisted: Why a DM would ever want to attack things, is honestly not something I can quite understand.
