Tips and Tricks

Post by Blackrain »

Hello BSk players my name is Blackrain i'm in the process of creating a mod and any advice would be most helpful please don't send me any links to download anything as i've lost the net and am creating this mod because i have NOTHING better to do >_< the world exist in a magical land so far i have about 80 areas 56 of them battle/training areas they branch out at the city limits areas so there ATM 3 diffrent paths players can take to level their characters but all paths require a pretty good build or a party because the monsters swarm you so far i have 5 diffrent major quest 1 of which involves slaying a dragon with crazy hp only becuse i want that whole feeling of accomplishment when you finally kill the dragon
also i have alot of time to make i work on it at least 15 hours a day
so thank you in advance for anything you can offer me

Your probibly better off stateing your ideas and the asking for specific pointers.

Asking for random advice will either get you no responce or you will get a ton of crap that can not ever be balanced into a useable fashion regardless how cool it sounds.

I Have a wonderful Idea,

Put a GIANT TREE in the middle of your town, and watch 10 People soak up your bandwidth by sitting there for weeks on end.

Sacastic comment aside, creating a central spot that has an attraction to all level of players helps provide a place that people can easily meet and interact.

The Great Trees are one ideal way of doing this as they provide a place that has a natural (forgive the pun) draw and places for seats to be placed.

The seating is essential. In my career as an online nwn gamer, I have probably spent more time sitting on a bench or a chair than anything else.

As far as the scripting goes...placing a bench isn't difficult. But make sure you have something in place that kicks the person off the bench when they log. Driller's system works by putting them at an entry point to the last area they were in (except when I randomly end up on the boat).

i would also like to know if that is possible, in my opinion i guess you could make an entrance teleporter and when you click it depending on you type of evil good or neutral, depends on where you teleport? sound like a plan?

^_^ my ideas are always good even if they dont work
