Hi there. Think my permissions were removed as I cannot view anything related to my account. Says Page not found.

Description Bug for Skald:When logging into Layo with Farros, his skald field reads instead of "Skald":  "Uthgardt and Luskan Be Friends.  War."This is in the login description of NWN.  Where the players online and classes are listed.

Name of Character: Cyrus Whisperwind 

Name of GM Witness: None 

Date of Occurrence: Whenever and wherever a Tenser's Transformation is used! 

Description of Occurrence:

The spell says it gives +2d4 Strength and +2d4 Dexterity and doesn't say anything about changing Constitution at allSo here is Cyrus before the transformation:And now after transformation:It just bumps  Strength to 20 and Dexterity to 22 and Constitution to 18, which I am assuming is the vanilla version of the spell from NWN.  2d4 Dexterity roll from 10->22 is not possible so that's what got me thinking. Not sure if it is supposed to be the vanilla version and the description is just a typo, or it's supposed to act like the description but the spell is just a vanilla version instead of Layo modified version. LORE page also states the +2d4 Strength and +2d4 Dexterity so if it's a typo then it's there too. http://layonara.com/nwn/tensers-transformationJust thought I'd mention it here, and thanks!

 Finding it hard to navigate the new forums.Question as it is... where's the server status page?

Sunlight penalties apply in a number of areas in the Deep between emeralds and mithril. Unfortunately with some of them lacking unique names I cant just hand a list over however I think its worth checking out since as dark elves, we should be able to enter such areas and not suffer sunlight penalty. Or have to waste a feat slot to get sunlight adaptation. When theres time please have a look and see if it can be fixed. Thanks in advance

Yep, I got curious one day after finding out how easy it is to set up log rotation in Linux from within the shell script used to run NWN, so I wondered if I could do the same thing in Windows. Using Powershell, it turns out to be fairly simple.[LIST=1]

• Open Notepad (or your text editor of choice)
• Copy and paste the following code into the new file:
  Quote

  param ($nwn_path, $log_path, $dest_path, $log_pref)
  $DateStamp = get-date -uformat "%Y%m%d-%H%M%S"
  $final = $log_pref + "_$DateStamp.log"
  move-item "$nwn_path\\$log_path\\nwclientLog1.txt" "$nwn_path\\$dest_path\\$final"
• Save the file to your NWN folder as: nwn-log-rotator.ps1 Note: if using Notepad, make sure you change "Save as type:" drop-down to "All Files (*.*)" or else it will add a .txt extension to the end of the file name
• Create another new text file and paste the following into it:
  Quote

  @echo off
  SET NWN_PATH="C:\\NeverwinterNights\\NWN" cd %NWN_PATH%
  start /w nwmain.exe +connect 173.198.229.123:5121 +password {player password}
  powershell %NWN_PATH%\\nwn-log-rotator.ps1 %NWN_PATH% logs logs nwclientLog
• Save the file as Layonara-West.bat (or whatever you like, as long as it has a .bat extension)
• Close your text editor
• If desired, create desktop shortcuts to the .bat files for easy access.

Basically, that's it, except replace {player password} with the correct player password, given on character approval (also, remove the {}, in case there's any confusion). This will connect you to West and log you in automatically. Some of you may have NWN in a different folder than I do. If so, edit line 2 of the .bat file to point to the correct location. You can create a second file to connect directly to Central by using :5122 in the 4th line of the .bat file like this: start /w nwmain.exe +connect 173.198.229.123:5122 +password {player password} If you do not want to have separate direct-connect script for each server, just leave the connection parameters off: start /w nwmain.exe Regarding the last line in the .bat file, the Powershell script created in Step 2 takes four arguments. In order, they are:[LIST=1]

• Folder path of NWN
• Folder path of the nwclientLog1.txt file (NWN's default log) relative to the NWN path
• Folder path where the rotated log file should be saved relative to the NWN path (this is usually the same as the path in #2)
• Prefix for the new log file

The Powershell script will rename/move the file to the destination folder with a name in the format: prefix_datecode.log, where prefix is from #4 and datecode follows the format of: {4-digit year}{Month}{Day}-{Hour}{Minute}{Second}. So the datecode for October 26th, 2012 at 3:27:15pm would be: 20121026-152715 Lines 2 and 3 of nwn-log-rotator.ps1 can be altered to change the naming format of the rotated log files. These scripts are presented as-is, and I don't guarantee they'll work right for your needs or at all...heh. Test them out for yourself before you rely on them. You've been warned. For convenience, I've attached the scripts above to this message. Un-RAR them into your NWN folder. You'll need to edit the Layonara-West.bat as described above to put the right player password into line 4 and, if necessary, adjust the NWN_PATH on line 2.

Greetings everyone,

This weekend I'll be transferring the forums, LORE and IRC over to our new server. I'm going to begin late tomorrow night around 11PM Eastern. My plan is to move IRC over first to be able to use it as a tool to communicate the progress on the forums and LORE. I'll also be using Twitter to confirm progress of the migration.

LORE character updates may be temporarily broken when the transfer is moved over but will be remedied as soon as possible. I don't foresee a need to shut down the NWN server but it's possible it might be required in case I've forgotten something.

I expect the whole process to take between 4 to 6 hours but if everything goes well it may be sooner. Of course if I run into hitches it could also be longer.

DNS migration may also cause propagation issues but that's out of our control. Basically this means that when we change which server the web address forums.layonara.com points to it takes some time for the global system to be aware of this change. Hopefully it will propagate fast so there's no concerns on Saturday but if there are I'll provide some technical help to temporarily alleviate the issue.

I hope all is well with you and your loved ones.

Hello friends, old and new. It's been a while since I've been able to sit down and take a breath but I promised myself I would take the time to catch up on what I've been up to and some of the things that have to be done on the technical end over the coming month.

To start, I wanted to say that Layonara is with my heart every day. The friends I made and the moments I shared in its fantasy setting will be cherished moments I'll hold through my whole life with no regret. The past year I've been at a distance, occasionally trying to force my way back into the magic that I know makes me feel like only roleplaying can make me feel. It's been there for short whiles but real world priorities get in the way and days away become weeks and then months. I'm not going to try to explain nor am I sure I even know why, it just happens.

Life's been pretty good. I've become a bit of a sports nut, I even bought season tickets to the Blue Jays for this summer. Nothing new on the love side of things, though a kiss stolen here and there. Work has had me with a lot less time than I was afforded a few years ago but I remain physically and mentally very healthy.

As with playing, my desire for working on the MMO has had to be forced and again other worldly concerns leave me getting side tracked then ultimately not having the fortitude to jump back into the development. I am making progress in a core area though and when I can catch a breath and bare down for the final touches I'll be eager to move on to the areas that others have continued to bear down upon.

Over the coming month there's going to be a few headaches from the technical end. One of our servers is old and has to be updated, this means I have to make a decision to either stay with our existing server setups or consider moving all of our servers to a cloud based setup. I've not made that decision yet and it's a pretty complicated one as Dorganath would be able to attest to as we discussed it on IRC. Once I make that decision I will get a better idea of downtime for all our servers, web, irc, nwn etc.

I touched on the core area I'm working on with the MMO and that's focused on the web end of things. Using the versatility and module rich Drupal CMS I'm developing both a front end to a new updated community site and a back end to the MMO database structure. This could mean some heavy work needed on LORE and perhaps *cringe* if I'm really feeling adventurous, I would transfer the entire forum to drupal's forum. Alternatively there are modules that allow both vBulletin and Drupal work side by side. I wonder, do any of you have Drupal experience?

So I guess that's kind of it for my update. I'll be informing you via the Important World Announcements forum about server downtimes as soon as I can possibly know and with as advanced notice as possible. I apologize in advance if this gets in the way of some scheduled quests.

My best,
James

Description: After placing Acid Flasks, Alchemist's Fires, and/or Choking Powers into the Bank Chest, upon reopening the Bank Chest, there are less Acid Flasks, Alchemist's Fires, and/or Choking Powers than there were. For example, I had just had (in stack sizes): Acid Flasks: 10, 10, 6 Alchemist's Fires: 10, 10, 3 Choking Powers: 10 Upon reopening the chest: Acid Flasks: 10, 10, 2 Alchemist's Fires: 10 Choking Powers: 10 The Bank Chest had also spat out some of the Alchemist's Fires onto the ground, but they could only be detected by floating the mouse cursor over the Bank Chest. The Bank Chest is not at the item count limit. Location: any Bank Chest Verified: Reproducable: Yes. This has been ongoing for a while, though I had only just twigged what was going on.
