Once you save your character go into your NWN directory in Windows (OS) and open the localvault subfolder. There you'll find the .bic file named by your characters name and you can check its size.

Ohh, so I don't even have to open the file. Thanks!

We have some movement happening folks

lets all jump in a try to reduce our bic file sizes.

have a base that you always try to get back to after a crafting session.
clean up items that you picked up during a hunt.
dont pick up all drop items! some you dont need or even want.
store food at home and carry only a few items (I need to do this one next)
only two water skins

I got rid of a few things today that I never use, and used up all the crafting stuff I had lingering too. Cleaning up after yourself really is the best method. I agree with Chongo, lets let our Team work on what's fun and interesting, like feats and spells and RP tools, and leave what we can manage ourselves up to us.

Way to go Shiff!

I will give a thanks to everyone that does an inventory clean up and posts here about it.

Can you explain to me how to get the local vault to work? I have gone into the game and exported the character, and then went to the local vault and had to save the file as a .txt. When I opened the file to see how many items I have in my inventory, there were random numbers, v's and 0's. Should I be saving the file as something else?

You have to manually count the items IG, unfortunately.

Or as stated above just look at the file size and post that.

Drachus is 163kb

Ido is 228 Kb... and he's carrying a lotta stuff as far as I'm concerned.... no worries here then...

EDIT: ... I wonder what has him up in the 220's.... maybe it's the small stash of Barley I haven't had time t craft? I'll do that next time I log on.....

Tod was at 507 Kb yesterday, and I got it down to 485 Kb. This is actually pretty difficult since I have him carry so many items such as rings, cloaks, boots and hoods that do different things since the only items he's restricted to is the level requirements and how big the weapons are. I'm trying though!Getting more chests in his room to store clothing and things he gathers so hopefully it'll drop some more.

I was amazed to find Bjorn in the 313 kb range with a box of breads, a box of roasts and a box of pies on him. (Bjorn's lunchbox is legendary) I did finally throw out that huge box of rotting trout fillets aged some 6 years ago and stuffed Willy's room full of the 80 or so random spider venoms I'd been pack-ratting for him. Don't be surprised if the well near the Prantz barracks suddenly starts tasting a little tangy, like bastard spider.

The fun thing about foodcrafting is that it's the one craft one can readily share with the populace without muling being a factor. So his inventory's been trickling down into the bellies of everybody else around him getting random massive sandwiches and pie lobbed at them. If you would like to assist in the streamlining effort, seek out Bjorn's Baked Goods and Annie & Earl's Prunillite beer stashes. And toss me those random berries, hops, sage & empty bottles and we'll picnic our way to lesser lag!

Not sure how, but Keppli carries lots of pipeweed, booze, and a stuffed bag of various foods(i.e. a couple of roasts, pies, fish and about five loaves...

... along with lots of random trinkets in her large pocketses but only has around 100 pounds of stuff which is pretty lucky as thats about her limit of weight

Might be because she doesn't do a whole lot of crafting, just wanders about the place!

jrizz · « **Reply #31 on:** April 21, 2009, 12:26:49 pm »

@Kenderfriend It is not the weight but the amount of items that can cause lag. Check your .bic file size that will let you know if you are in the zone of creating risk for others when you log on.

The below is a repeat reminder:

Got Bjorn down to 261 KB, with 5 honey smoked salmons, 8 pies, 6 roasts and 20 bottles of wine and ale. That should tide him over till dinner.

I cleaned Amanda's out and got rid of a lot of gem dust and other things she wasn't using. It is at 360.

Haven't checked Emie's.

My .bic was 192 the day before yesterday. Less than 200 sounds fair enough to me for the moment.
