Bug Reports / Transfering herbs between healing kits
October 18, 2019, 10:05:16 PM
I tried to do so, just curious if it would work.  So I used my part-filled regular healing, targetting a newly found, empty masterwork healing kit.
It resulted in no change to my regular healing kit, and a deleted masterwork kit.  Is this expected behaviour?

Thanks.

 I have found a UI mod that removes dialog transparency and that has made a real improvment for me.    When the game originally came out, screen space was at a premium and warranted the transparency, but with the larger resolutions of today it is not necessary.  As I slowly pick up play again here, I may well look at making additional UI overrides of my own, where I can.

Aside from that,  I am not sure how I had got the notion that the NPC jobs were not repeatable here, but I had certainly been under that impression and that had skewed my estimation of death recovery. 

On the matter of Discord, I choose not to use it on account of its security issues and its data usage policy, which I find unacceptible for my own pedantic reasons.  It does seem to be swallowing up some of the functions of the fourm, which I find regrettable but I suppose inevitable.

As for Inigob, I sure found the body, but may not have been the one who put an end to its schemes of world domination :p ...  Certainly had no idea what to do with its pack.

Anyway, I've inflicted a permanent injury on my character to cover his mishap and absence, and he'll be nursing it for a while yet...

Thanks,
Thorny.

Good to know and surprising,  but  I'll take to dabbling a while.   It has my curiosity.

Hi,

I really enjoyed the server content, the humour and creativity in it, what I see as a novel take on party and experience mechaincs, the plentiful potential and the attention to details.
But there is a problem that I cannot yet move past and that is the nwn1 interface (I have been on nwn2 for the past decade or so).  I find it hard to manage the pathing and even walk in a straight line, I find the radial menus difficult to interact with, the keyboard mappings limited, the inventory awkward and many other purely interfacing issues.  To be honest, I'd jump at the chance to improve the game GUI (I'm a coder of four decades), but it would have to be for the game rather than an individual server.

While the death penalty was surprisingly heavy, that in itself is not a problem.  But when presented with the inevitability of dying many times to issues of control, it would be unrealistic for me to play here without losing more xp than I gain and ending up fustrated by my own clumsiness.
This is of course exacerbated by my choice of character, having a woeful ac and a determination to prove himself, but rp comes first and that is not going to be compromised by mechanics.  If my character were asked to accompany a group, then I will follow my character's response and not let my own reservations intervene.

I therefore need find a less punishing server on which to play while I try to adapt, one which I may be able to progress.  It may take me a few weeks or more to work out how to play as fluidly as others, but I hope to return to my character, Dolin, when I can really do him justice and weave his story here.  I know that established players here are keen to help the newer, and I am grateful for that, but I learn better at my own slow pace. So, until then, good luck to all and thanks for the experience.

Thanks,
Thorny.

PS  This reCAPTCHA thing is proving quite a challenge too.  Just how much of a traffic light is needed to constitute a traffic light?  What exactly is a crosswalk, are US fire hydrants red, yellow or any colour?, does a single visible step constitute stairs? etc etc  **grumbles**  Tried guessing at the Chapter number a few dozen times.. not sure what that was... I will post this eventually  *grumbles more* ... don't recall the first inn's name, my memory is atrocious... CoR, nope... haha the robot finally wins by spamming page refresh till they get an easy question!

. . .  Damn, look at that one!  They're out to get me today...
