V3 is Delayed

[Leanthar]

Hi folks,
  We ran in to some significant issues today and will not be able to update the servers to V3 today or tonight. We found the problem a few minutes ago and we think it is now resolved. But that meant that the past 12 hours was spent finding and fixing that significant (server crashing) problem and it leaves us no time to do all of the finishing touches that needs to be completed.
  I know everybody is looking foward to V3, we are too--trust us. It is best that we found the problems today than to try and bring it live and things blow up on all of us.
  We think we will have V3 online tomorrow afternoon by 8pm PST. *crosses fingers*
  Sorry for the delay folks.

though, i think we should still get the 2DA files...

Good luck with all your techno-stuff... That you even have to deal with it makes you all saints in my eyes.

P.S. Whats a 2da?

[Lilswanwillow]

wow... it caught up so quickly...

I can't WAIT!!!

[Hruby]

Anticipation makes life interesting.  The work all of you do is amazing and it just shows that you want to get it right.  

I applaud your efforts.

Well thanks to the team for catching it and fixing it so quickly!

I agree, nothing's more frustrating than tweaking and scripting and programming for dozens (read hundreds) of hours and having something go terribly wrong... so all the hard work the team puts in is immensely appreciated, even by newcomers such as myself :B

P.S. Whats a 2da?

A 2da is a fancy bioware name for a table, or 2-Dimensional Array.  If you use the NWExplorer, you can crack open the original campaign haks and have a look.  Basically they're references for anything associated with anything else.  Spell hooks, voice sets, trap kits, models, animations... everything.

A good thing you gyus found the bug before it indeed did blow up the servers. Godspeed.

Where will The download for teh update be aviable at?

[Leanthar]

In the normal location, under downloads.

We will provide a forum post that will point to all of the downloads, or at least to the downloads page, when V3 is released. But you can always get the files needed for the game under 'downloads'.

[Falonthas]

and its 8 pm tonight for the target launch if all goes well?

[Leanthar]

Yes.

[Zergon]

*gets out the C reference manual* Hmm maybe bug spray would be easier
