Oh boy. I can't wait. I ran a local server for my family last year running a modified version of Nordock.

I have just came back to NWN (can't find anything as good as NWN or BG2) and I found your MOD.

I will be watching your thread... waiting for new release....

THANKS

Can you tell me what versions of NWN, CEP and PRC will I need installed for your new release?

All the latest:

NWNv165, CEPv150, and PRCv2.2b. All 3 games as well.

Just got some really bad news on this yesterday--I'm in the process of removing >100 areas, many of which were given to me to use; unbeknownst to me, unauthorized. I'm hoping the module will live through the disassembly. Naturally, this has set back my timetable; I was about to release this mod yesterday. More information on progress as I have it--I've started the removal process.

Thanks, and damn that sucks I thought that all the module areas and stuff was all "open source" kinda, and why would someone not give you permission to include their modules if you gave them credit for the work?

udoh

[Actually , regardless of what others may have said, the areas in question were known to have been given to horred and at the time they were given noone had a problem with them being used by him, they recently decided to be arses about this, and as such a big apology goes out to horred  as he had nothing to do with it, he took them in good faith so for those nay sayers out there, get offa horreds back, you know who you are, and if you have a serious problem with the areas he was using , you should have spoken up sooner as i DID tell you i let him have the module, and at the time you had no issues with him using them, IE just because we have parted ways DONT take it out on Horred! EDIT: also technicly the areas in question had to be redone by me as they lacked encounters ,placeables , scripts, area transitions etc so the only work i didnt do was building the areas. so if someone wants to get really technical bout it the areas are just as much mine as anyone elses because of the work i had to put into them to make them playable.

Ok. From what I can understand here, Horred had every right to use the areas in question. As he had taken them in good faith, he was given all rights to use them for whatever purpose he saw fit. More than half of the contents of the areas in question were added and modified by Leutian. Due to the fact that he technically owns more than 50% of the actual product, it is rightfully his, nomatter what you say. If you want, I can even draw up the legal technicalities to go along with this. Yes, there are rules that apply to everyday usage of the internet, materials provided through such, and any programs available for such, including additional modifications (Add-Ons [Mods]). Though you may have an issue with Horred using the areas in question, Leutian owns all rights to them and in such, he gave permission to Horred to use and abuse. You have no jurisdiction in this situation nomatter your defense. I have proven my point about 4-5 times in this little copyright acknowledgement. All material is copyrighted and provided by Leutian at no cost to Horred. He gave permission, and permission was used. Back up off of his back before you make even more of an ass of yourself.

-Thanks Kiddies.

Well, I think my last statement still stands with "Damn that sucks". "Horred", do what you feel is right the "community" will support your choice, keep up the good work

I wish there was something I could do, i've dabbled in the scripting, and area's but not really enough to produce something. I can test things, and report errors (not that there will be any.. )

Cheers

Hi Horrid, Sorry to hear things didn't work.

I was really looking forward to your updated MOD.

I think i will go and check out your BG2 mods instead. I must say, I am a bit suprised about people's attitude towards the areas.

Anyways, Good luck with your BG2 Mods

Maximus tells me they didn't receive the file--I'm uploading a version 3 right now. It's okay, in the long run--I spotted a couple more errors and had the chance to correct them. Sorry to the people who have been impatiently waiting on this; I truly thought this was a done deal.

Well I for one will still keep waiting until I get my hands on. I've played it, (not so much the end of the week and weekend, birthdays and stuff), and it's FANTASTIC. So When it comes out, GO GET IT people.

Thanks Horred for your work in all this, your patience and perservance will be reward when we get our hands on your MOD... hehehehe

I've been working on a basic install walkthrough for NWN 1.65 server + MySQL + NWN-FF (using PR-Nordock as my model until I get my hands on the new release then I'll add in the appropriate parts relevent to the new module) that hopefully I'll have in a usable form for other server admins to use for their setups.  No use for all of us to reinvent the wheel and have to figure this stuff out on our own when people have already done it before

A still-under-construction version is at:
http://arcanummagika.us/NWN/start.html

Excellent work Tiggerlicker. That will be a really good help when the MOD comes out. Any chance of a downloadable version?

udoh

Now I want your MOD even more.. hehehe

udoh

If that's the case, then I gotta be doing SOMETHING wrong. But what?

You and me both!!!!!

Been bashing my head aroudn with this all day (for the last 10 or so hours), I see unable to get as far as you.

I'm not really sure what to tell you guys about how far i've (not) got. I have tried with both NWNX2 and NWN-FF (I don't quite understand the differences), I have used a number of tutorials (each of them differs).

With NWNX2 it runs the NWServer, and then loads the MOD, and during the loading of the MOD, the MOD will appear in the multiplayer section of NWN, but when it's finished laoding it's gone (can't conenct with direct-connect, nothing).

-----------------LOG FILE FOR NWNX.TXT -----------------------
* Loading plugins...
* An error occured while loading extension FFSpeech (126: The specified module could not be found. )
* Plugin functions is loaded.
* Plugin leto is loaded.
* An error occured while loading extension MySQLSpeech (126: The specified module could not be found. )
* An error occured during OnCreate of odbc
* NWNX2 activated.
* NWNX2 shutting down...
* NWNX2 shutdown successfull.

I have no idea if this info will help.

Is there anyone out there with a working Windows server, that coudl send me a list of the files in their NWNServer folder (and maybe INI), then I could compare, or even a RAR file containing their files.

Hope someone out there has the knowledge. Until then, I will keep oin trying

Thanks
udoh

EDIT: And for the record, I don't have the SPEECH components set up right either. I've got an error log 73kb long (and counting). The mod still works without.

Thanks for your assistance as always Horred, it's much appricated. Thanks for INI file.

I think i've found a solution to the Speech Components problem not loading. I disabled the 1394 device in my network connections (and disabled any other unused network devices) and the Speech component loads without problem.

Not sure if it's needed, but it seems to load now.

If someone has a working NWNX-ODBC.DLL, can they please post the date and time so I can compare with mine. Thanks in advance.

udoh

Hi Leutian,

I've downloaded and tried the file you suggested, for some reason it didn't seem to want to work for me. I've tried 5 different copies of the file and eventually I used the one in NWN-FF (don't know why it was the one that worked).

Now I need to find out why it all worked so I can help other people solve the problems.

One thing I did notice, was that there were problems in my ODBC logs with the file table "cnr_misc". It seems like the vault has updated the MOD 3 times today, and the latest (Version 4) seems to work a lot better than the other ones.

I have made it into the MOD, but I now have to work out why the LETO conversations are not working.


udoh


If it's not one thing... it's another....That's what makes life soooo much fun

I get booted as soon as I try to enter, and I have no idea why it's telling me there's bad SQL syntax in there.

Please help me nail this sucker down!

Hi,

I finally got mine working last night (dunno how yet), have you tried the older version of MySql (4.0.23). In the end I reverted back to that version, along with the nwnx-odbc.dll from the NWN-FF archive (84kb one).

udoh

But it seems like none of the receipes are present. Just like the recors wasn't created first time through. Any ideas?

udoh

Wait, your saying to overwrite the nwnx.odbc with nwn-ff's, then your telling me to get the newer nwnx.odbc. I'm confused.

There is a download on nwnx.org for the latest version of NWNX2,you should download that. The NWNX-ODBC.DLL that I am using (which gives me access to the database) is the one from the FF archive (84kb). I would suggest you use that DLL for now. After you have updated your NWNX2.

Cnr_misc table CnrBoolBuildRecipeDatabase--set to 1, in MySQLCC.

The table info is there, it should build. you have version 4, the latest one on the Vault?--Not the one I sent to your ftp.

I'm not at home at the moment, so I can't try your "mini-mod" but when I get back I will have a go with it, and I will be looking into receipe table problem usign your advice.

I'm about to suggest trying a different mod, it would be less painful on all involved.

Don't give up just yet, this can be sorted, we just need to pool our resources and work out a recommend set of files (maybe giving file sizes) to help.

People, I've seen Horred's MOD working and it is amazing, well worth the extra bit of work. He's doen an amazing job.

udoh

ps. I never use the installer, I just extract the files using WINRAR. and I am using the latest MOD from the vault

I didn't sit here for 2 days with barely any sleep to give up now!

Don't give up on me Horred, although you probably hate me by now. I'm really sorry for being an inept buffoon.

I've gotten the latest NXNX2, I overwrote the odbc with FF's. and I am still having these problems.

Did you try changing your MySQL version to 4.0.23?

udoh

Hi Elentan,

I'm at the same stage now, it seems to be something wrong with the access to the cnr_misc table. I understand that the records can't be written, but i don't know, as yet, why they are trying to be written (especially like that; with the same primary key).

At the moment, at times, it feels like the blind leeding the blind, if I could get a working copy of the database tables, I am sure I could fill in the missing pieces...

And your error :

! Bad syntax (EXEC): "ALTER TABLE `pwdata` DROP INDEX `idx`" (Can't DROP 'idx'. Check that column/key exists)

Is because you created a pwdata table using the "guides" the pwdata table in the MOD uses a different structure. Try deleing that table, and let the MOD create it for you.

udoh

Nice work with Version 5 Horred, i've got it running and all the recipes are present...

I was able to create a character successfully. This means my DB is working yes?

Now, when I try to run version 5, the server loads, then hangs as soon as it says running, log in at will.

When you say it hangs.... Have you used MySQLCC and checked that the databases, because they can take a while to create. I Before I installed version 5 I removed the databases Horred suggested I remove in the readme file.

udoh

1. Saw this in the logs:
[Mon Mar 07 20:21:04] NWNx_FFSpeech.dll NOT LOADED !!

Hi Dingo,

One solution to the NWNX_FFSpeech.dll problem is here in this thread...
http://www.shsforums...pic=14063&st=20

Hope that helps.
udoh

I run my NWNServer on my Drive D, Actually I run all my games from drive D, The number of times I have to reinstall Windows, woudl mean that I would be reinstalling my games all the time, so put everything like that on Drive D into a folder called... (wait for it) "GAMES"... brilliant huh...

hehehehe
udoh

Hi Horred,

Brilliant news for the new release. I've had a quick look in Benzor, Nice changes.

Looking foward to testing out some of the changes.

Excellent work. Keep it up.

udoh

Horred, keep up the amazing work!

I couldn't agree more

:thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Site is strangely quiet today... :online2long:

Maybe it's someone's day off .. hehehehe....

One of my characters is a Half-Elf, and when she starts, it seems to alternate between Benzor and the Elven city.

Now I know she's Half-Elf, you know, half human and half Elf, so one place one time, and the other place the other time, but still... it is defiently a pain... hehehe.

udoh

Excellent News. Really looking foward to testing the Houses.

Not sure about wanting to dig back into MySQL.. hehehe... but i've noticed a slow down recently when loading the crafting conversaions (only have 2 pc's accessing the server), so changes to the MySQL won't be a bad thing at all.

udoh

Hi all,

Well I've been having a good play this evening, and well, i've even managed to move past benzor (not much mind you), and well .. a few small bugs

1. Ornal Pass
    We attacked the ravens (to get the feathers) and when we got back to the cart the "ox" was hostile as well as all the animals.

2. Benzor River Valley - Goblin Cave
    After killing the rats at the enterance, there was a corpse that showed up some of the  "inventory" and not the standard drop. I will enter the cave some more and see if I can find any more info.

3. Benzor - Sardusky's Supplies
    Sardusky seems to but "standard" gold amulets for about 1000gp not sure if that is right!!!

4.Archer Issue.
  I know we've talked about this before, but there seems to be a problem with the prc and archer base class and all the bonuses showing up, anyone else have this problem?

Well, that's about all for now. Happy Modding and playing to all.

udoh

ps. What are the "mystery Minerals" used for?????

This is released, gang. DOWNLOAD and upgrade.

Getting it now, and upgrading today I am

Nice work again. I look forward to it

udoh
