Hak Update - Drangonari Fix

Mistcaller · Post by **Mistcaller** » Sat Mar 12, 2005 10:46 pm

Please download the updated avlis main (same version) from: http://www.tairisnadur.com/files/copap/ ... kinarr.rar

File: avlis_main1_2_drag.rar
Includes: avlis_main1_2.hak

and un-compress it into you hak directory in NWN, replacing the previous one with the same name.

It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you keep (copy-paste) the old file in another folder just for good measure, before you attempt anything.

Note that this file DOES NOT fix the issue immediately. It is just a required step towards the desired goal, which is approaching soon.

Note also that this update is directed to players that play a drangonari PC (suggested for changelings too). Anyone though who replaces the old hak with the new one, should encounter no problem playing on Avlis.

Lastly, this is a temporal fix and it will be fully integrated in the next copap release for all worlds.

Awesome, thanks.

Newly created drangonari should receive their correct abilities from now on in LeOr.
Those already-created ones should look for a DM who will be able to apply the correct hide on them (soon).

Until we resolve this, the abilities have unlimited uses, but you should not abuse or exploit that. The correct frequency is once per day, so keep it this way please.

Great

Will you let us know when DM's can supply the correct hide (so we don't bug DM's before that)?

Also, should we trash the old drangonari hide token?

Thanks.

DMs should be able to apply the new hide in Elysia for the time being.

Hi, I logged into Elysia and received my drangonari hide without needing a DM to give it.

Yep, this happens when you dont have any hide at all or you carry the PC hide.
But some old drangonari PCs used to have a hide, so those should be updated manually.

If an old drangonari hide is updated in Elysia and the PC then gets the racial abilities in Elysia, will it work on other servers, too?

Thanks.

Yes, as long as you have the updated hak.

Yes, as long as you have the updated hak.

My drangonari logged on to Elysia and automagically got the new hide. Then he went over to Ferrell and lost it again. I went back and forth a few times... Elysia/Le'Or: Fire Breath, Anywhere Else: no fire breath.

I got the updated hak.

This doesnt seem consistent with the above statement, but maybe Im reading it wrong...?

When I log into Elysia I get a message, something like "Acquired Item: Drangonari PC Hide," but I see no new item in my inventory and I cannot use my breath weapon or acid fog. Furrornos, you were actually able to use those abilities? If so, from where did you access them? They used to be accessable from the radial menu.

Dalzell · Post by **Dalzell** » Thu Mar 17, 2005 4:37 pm

I can answer that..the same happened to me when I logged into Elysia, i.e it said lost item: pc hide, acquired item: drangonari hide...the breath and acid fog are available for me from the radial menu under a fighter symbolised option (unlimited uses per day at the moment, but not being abused

) and they also show up on the feat list.
The hide does not show up in my inventory, nor did I ever have a visible hide, even at character creation.

Indeed. Thats because the rest of the servers need to update their code, which is important afterall. So, please disregard my previous confirmation that the abilities will work outside Elysia. They wont, until all servers catch up.

Well, now I'm confused. I just logged back into Elysia. Last time I did, I got the message saying I received the drangonari hide. I have the hak in my hak folder. However, I still have no racial abilities. I cannot find the breath weapon or acid fog anywhere on the radial menu.

edit: Went into my hak folder to make sure. I extracted the rar file for the drangonari hak again, was asked if I wanted to replace avlis_main1_2.hak, clicked yes, it was extracted...

Now, when I click on the icon for the avlis_main1_2 hak, the information on it shows that it was last updated Jan 18th 2005.

Does that mean that the hak is not being overwritten by the new drangonari hak?

Problem solved. Thanks to Mistcaller for logging in to help me out.

I've noticed that although I get a message saying "uses left: zero" and "you must rest again before using this ability," I can still use both of them unlimited times per day. I know I'm not supposed to, so I don't (except when I tested that), but is this a bug? Or is it not supposed to have been fixed yet?

Zamael668 · Post by **Zamael668** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 1:43 am

IIRC it is a known bug, and the fix is pending.

Mistcaller · Post by **Mistcaller** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 8:28 am

It is a bug, and not known , so please fill in a bug-report about it.

Just thought I'd mention (mentioned in bug report, too) that while you can use the breath weapon more than once per day, it doesn't do any damage after the first use. You just see the effect.

I've noticed that nothing ever seems to take any damage from the acid fog or make any saves whatsoever. Any other Drangonari characters (I know there are at least one or two others

) noticing this?

I keep forgetting to ask a DM for the hide, and the one time I did, no one was on. Once I do, I'll see if I can find someone who doesn't mind me spittin' on 'em and get back to ya.
