Arelith

They said we'd be getting new cd keys: Are yall planning some way to swap old cdkeys for new ones, so we can keep all our everything?

I'm not complaining? It was relevant to a discussion I was having at the time and stood out to me as I play almost exclusively casters.

Yes, there will be a system available to automatically transition between old CD keys and new CD keys for existing servers such as Arelith, so you can keep your characters.

They just said "We are going to be wanting to make new content" so we'll pay attention to the comunity creation process. Based on the game we'll ask "What tools do you want to use?". This might be meant about module creation tools, dm stuff or in game content (more then likely it means all of them).

"Our goal is to make this a platform going forwards and allow for the creation of even better content!"

Ugh i hate the t-shirts why they interrupt the question answering and go giving stoopid t-shirts!!!

Oh! Dope. And this is part of the game release, not something just Arelith's doing? Absolutely stellar.

Who complains about this?

So I take it Arelith will move to support the EE exclusively with time, yee?

Yep, it's part of the game release. I believe you give the game both pairs of CD keys, and if a vault is present when you connect for the old-style key, it will transfer it to the new-style automatically.

Yes. Irongron will post more about this soon.

Any auto-download handling in / planned?

It's a planned feature but not in for the head start.

I think you'll just need to buy the new game get the cdkey and log in. Hope they release trough steam. If the game had something like Steam Workshop support then Arelith could support addons with just a click.

...

*mind blown*

SOMEONE ASK THAT RIGHT NOW! I can't remember my twitch password

The era of haks is soon.

My question about steam workshop is drowned by people asking about t-shirts

"One of the questions is Worskhop, and we haven't comitted yet, but Workshop is one of the things we'r looking at"

Awesome.

Is there a list of hard->soft coded stuff?
Are there new script events?

tbf the era of hacks was like 10 years ago.

Hacks where the sweet poison that nurtured and then mercilessly caused the death of countless servers. IT all starts with a small tweak, and then in the end you had to download 20+ files from different sites that had to be installed in different orders and new players would just stay away.

Also, invariably the servers containing the tweak hak files would slowly go down, missing links, etc. and aint nobody got time for that.

Indeed.

I have never seen that happen on any hak server that wasn't run by complete incompetents and was doomed to death well before anyway.

That's the thing. HAKs are not inherently a curse. We have competent devs. The reluctance some in this community have to utilizing HAKs borders on superstitious sometimes.

Found this!

Let's get back to topic guys, they can add another thread to discuss haks in the future, but if they add steam workshop support or something similar it will be a non-topic i guess.

Binarized some of the 1.69 MDL files (horses, dragon wings) to improve the speed of loading them into the game.

Fixed an issue where placeables could get stuck open/closed.

Hnnnnnnnggg yes

Casting a metamagic spell will no longer add
the metamagic to the item used immediately
afterwards.

hm. gross.

Area of Effect objects now move each time
their creature moves (to prevent creatures from
outrunning their own auras in busy areas).

AYYYYY!

Ensure that the module’s desired HAK and TLK files are loaded before we attempt to start character creation within a multiplayer module (allows servers to specify their own set of additional base classes, races, et cetera)

That's dope! So if we had a custom warlock class, as a class, you could make it at one?

Before one creates a product one research who might buy it and why, where to market, etc etc.

Since arelith is number one nwn1 mastadont in the nwn1 online market, I am sure (I hope..) that the developers of the Enchanced did their research and to some extent were colabarating with/paid for marketing to/whatever our great DM+Devs team. This would (will?) benefit all in the long term.

On topic, this way we can avoid for some time a topic "123 on how to run hyper v (etc) environment for Windows 7 for nwn".

Working not lagging crushing Shades, etc, hell anything new would be greatly appreciated, some of us do play nwn from the start ).

Most of us spend on Arelith enough time monthly, $20 is nothing, since we all buy AAA titles from time to time and spend there good if 1/50 of time we spend here. (At least I do).

I am sure Arelith team spent some time calculating how it will affect the server and how to run such transition smoothly.
It hopefully will be great ).


P.C
Today, disk space etc etc is not an issue. If Arelith introduces simple files auto downloader haks can and will benefit the server, imho.
All of us want new content and unless I am wrong it is much easier to introduce it via haks.

If/when en masses will flood the server, the Team will shot to kill some non-RP peace disturbers and the rest will convert to the way of the RP force. Or at least pretend somewhat good that they did ).

P.c2
If this can bring enough monthly $ support to Arelith to somewhat support the Dev+DM team financially and not just fund the server expences this obviously will be #1 server longlivity reason.

Man if arelith could get an affiliate link or a discount code to grab a little off the top would be dope.
