NWN Ideas, Suggestions, Requests / Movable Corpses

« on: May 18, 2007, 06:24:11 pm »

Well it me again, I thought Movables corpses would be great after dieing and finding out you can't pick up the corpses of your friends.

The persons in party were shocked saying things like, "I never heard of that being done" and "that would be really cool" I can tell you it can be done, and I feel would help alot of things, I was told a DM can raise a player move them and kill them again.

But what about when there no DM on our busy? and even then that alot of work, and stuff that loses some RP like someone running while carring 5 bodys, but the old argument of I have 25 STR I could do that.

Well what I speak the corpses have weight and weigh a certian amount of the chars weight, to a max limit.

I think this add alot to MANY systems, and just alot more to DM events, one less thing they would need to worry about while trying to control things.

Well I was a bit worried about posting a suggestion after I only been playing half a week, and already have one. but Alot said it would be great. So I said why not?

Now I can make it, our my server I played on used this system for a very long time and so I know how to make it very well. It is purely script based so no Haks would be needed. I can do all the work and send it in, and step anyone through how apply the system.

basically this is how it works. When YOU die it places your corpse in a placed called "OOC: Corpse holding area" and places a liftable version of your corpse when the needed info where you did. well you can pick it up. and move with it place it down ,etc when you use raise dead it pull your real corpse to that location and raises you there. this system works PREFECTLY and has been used for YEARS. no bugs what so ever.

Now what happens to YOU while this happens? well you can wait in that black place or you can just respawn, like you normally do.

we used a place called a EB, you could talk to the keeper of eterinity, you could walk around the small place, it was all OOC so you died, on a quest you would just chat while you waited for a raise, if everyone died you just talk to the keeper and boom, you take your raise cost, and your back IG.

Now I know this is a great idea, and would make things more, allow for alot more things, but that not why i was worried about, the thing is I know this DM/builder team is pressed as it is with hard work and I wish to not add with it, by brining forth idea that many may like and cry out for it putting more pressure on them.

I am fully willing to meet you half way on the work and could get the whole thing put in with not to much trouble. I get everything ready send it to you, with full details about how to add it, and you put it in, you would need a blank 4x4 tagged to a certian name, and the whole dead place you goto might need to be redone, (just for looks after all who wants to wait in a pure black place?)

you add in the scripts which is not many, and boom you have a new death system done in a short time, proven to be bug free, ready for you to test out privately.

Well thanks for your time, if you like it and have any questions ask. remember it pure script based. willing to do as much of the work as I can for you on this, if there is a intrest.

And sorry I mean to suggest things when I am so new, I try to tend to avoid it >.<; Just when you have the know how to do things, and such a high understanding of NWN's when people say boy it would be nice I tend to say "oh that can be done, NP" nothing can be worse when some thought something could'nt be done can be done, or that it would need haks.

once again sorry!

Ask A Gamemaster / T.T. (Tenser's transformation)

« on: May 18, 2007, 02:22:05 am »

I have been told changes have been made to tenser's transformation, and I was wonder what changes were made, I was told to check the players handbook, but the current does not list any changes for it.

#1 Does it still turn you into to a doomknight? O.o

#2 what exactly are the changes in it, being with this spell any changes made are pretty important, you would want to know before getting it.

NWN Ideas, Suggestions, Requests / Roadsigns

« on: May 17, 2007, 10:51:06 pm »

Road signs would just be super, I ran around and they had alot of things that with out warning brought me to a village or mansion. I thought road signs would be nice like Hlint to the east, gnoll hills to the west, fort something to the north. Seen them on alot of servers and everyone they been a BIG help to new players. nothing is more annoying or dishearting then being lost and there being no roadsigns for a new player when there along some main road with multi-directions.

Ask A Gamemaster / Where can I

« on: May 17, 2007, 09:25:14 pm »

Where can i post a suggestion of road signs on the forums, because I REALLY think it would be helpful to new folks. I used rememberance orb in the city I started in, but when I died I got sent to hint never been there, no clue how I got there but I did. well I took every way out of it untill I died, came to many cross roads that gave no direction it was just flip a coin, I was beyond lost. I thought boy would road signs be something right about now, oh look there a perfect spot one, one way to me to a town, the other...to certain death. -.-

Least to say I was alittle upset, angry, and more that I spent 45 minutes dieing and being sent to a town I did not bind myself to if I did, I did not knowningly.

But some road signs on some cross roads even would be pretty super.

Ask A Gamemaster / A few questions some wish to know.

« on: May 14, 2007, 05:10:50 am »

Hi I am that annoying guy with all those questions you say can be found here if you read it

So please bare with me I have been asked a few question about this and I said I would get right on it so here I am.

#1 Is the server low magic? what do i mean by low magic? are there any perma haste item? that would be what most from our old server would think pretty high magic.

#2 lol I am sure this one you will find silly but is there any chance of vampire, a monster race being a player subrace in the future. I am sure you have a big rule posted some where which probly answers -NO- to this one. I fully understand.

#3 Does the server have a working mage portal system? that allows for mages to open gates to set locations and the likes from nearly any location?

#4 Does the server use any kind of custom bard songs, or are bard's restricted to that single bard song and single curse song?

#6 does the server have any custom spells like word of recall for druids and clerics or mass word of recall? Returning them to some sort of bind spot?

#5 where can I find the changes made to classes if any?

#7 if RDD is taken can a player lose the generic red wings for that of a different color?

That is about it if I get anymore I will write them down, just a few question I have been asked and I don't know the answer to or could not find. but with each day I am learning alot more of this server *pats the players handbook he just got today*

Yes we have check the spells but the spell list just has all the basic NWN ones
well thanks for your time, hope the questions were not to pain stakenly simple that you could have found the info in seconds.

Introduce Yourself / A few new faces

« on: May 13, 2007, 06:35:07 pm »

Hello and greetings from across the lake.

I am a admin of a larger, and one of the longest lasting line of NWN servers. most my DM team got very busy battling a beast called 'skool' and left to script,build,host,and manage the server for a few months alone was very hard when it was when it was a newly made version that was never fully finished. the players grew laxed and could only RP when a DM was around after many,many trys to get players to RP on there own, a few of the kindest, and better RPers of the community tempted by me have decided to pick up and go else where.

Tired of DMing I heard of a few good places that would be great, I asked around and this place came up from a few other friends. One player al'ready has some family that plays here, seems all roads lead here.

So after studying up on your ways, and the server rules you can look forward to some nice,friendly,Rpers showing up to introduce themselves I thought I would make this topic for them to do just that.

Samandria & risen-and-reborn are examples of the friendly folks you can look forward to seeing, we are all taking our time making chars reading your history,etc

  I will go first!

Hi I am joyrock, I am long time RPer, I am a great friendly guy that loves games mechanics, mages, building for NWN and scripting. came here looking for a place I could just be a player and relax, meet some kind folks, and have fun with great RP.

Going to have fun learning your ways, and hope you bare with us barbarians with our strange ways as we adjust to yours, thats about it.

P.S. Where are the RP forums? you know that lovely place where I post pages about what my char does in there daily life while I am at a PC but not able to play NWN?
