Hi again.

I've heard people query whether there is a 10th gem, and unless someone was playing a prank, then I have seen the 10th, and it requires some outside thinking.

Once you've got the mobile version of the game you should able to drag & drop the apppropriate files from your hak/tlk/overrides from your PC as necessary via a USB connection to your installed game on your phone.

This was how it was described to me by one person who plays NWN on mobile on the Ravenloft: PotM server.

Remove miscellaneous items that have healing magic, done. Purple crystals are a crutch that break quests.

If your paladin character becomes fallen, and loses all his divine abilities, is he able to start progressing as a cleric and use the cleric spellbook & divine might/shield/turning abilities fine or does fallen paladin status deny all divine features & prevent that?


For those odd cases where a paladin makes a minor infraction against his oath, can't have it absolved due to location / lack of priests, but it hasn't significantly violated the tenets or beliefs of the deity they follow to be disowned by their deity.

Ambience in the Grotto can be covered with sound triggers if it's too distracting. The projections that show up (do they still show up..?) In the house of trade and Starags rest are as nice as the House of Knowledge, so there are some similar scripts in place already.

A lot of random NPCs have one-line dialogue, when they're set to walk randomly, they will go around and appear to talk and interact with other people, but you don't necessarily want scripts constantly running in the background so...

Perhaps they could spout dialogue as a result of an OnPerception trigger that calls a random choice from their conversation dialogue, with a limited percent chance they will do so and a randomised DelayCommand integer for how long after perceiving someone nearby it will take before they will say something? If the script checked the creature tag or an integer set on the creature to determine from what conversation list they called from, then you can condense all the random people dialogue into one (larger) script that filters out the non-applicable options.


As long as they don't say ''I have nothing to say."

Planar binding the lvl 3 celestial summon to a permanent(ish) duration & casting extended see invisibility / clairvoyance is a great detection agent, provided players that intend to strike from stealth don't withhold their hostility until the moment they are about to strike.

Creatures that are stationary benefit as if they were in Detect mode already, sure, but they like to roam by themselves, so a detect mode for summons is definitely needed, I approve.

I know there are some nice hand models from the Amia server & there were some awesome werewolf & undead models that used to be on the vaults. Reskinning creature models is usually the most compatible override, area reskins *might* clash with haks currently in use that affect area walkpaths so be careful when implementing those.

People use subdual mode for duelling, this would hinder that aspect of it.

If it forced your rest timer to be reset to require another 3 or 4 hours until next rest, that could be an easy way to enforce a recovery time delay so spell users don't renew their spells instantly, or anyone in general doesn't recover their HP unless spells & potions are used.

There's also already a penalty applied to people that are subdued that represents what you suggest, but players need to act according to the situation, the low duration of it is a trust and a gentle reminder without being too harsh that players need to roleplay these injuries.

Lag is caused by connection issues between you and your target... Usually.

One thing to try is to have cmd.exe open with the command ping -t 8.8.8.8 running, this will constantly ping Google.

Also, open up your task manager or resource monitor and track which processes are using up your network connectivity whenever the lag spikes occur (your ping results in the cmd.exe window will start spiking or you will begin losing packets around this time.

Is there anyone else currently using the same network as you that are initiating windows updates or video downloads / video & photo uploads repeatedly? Depending on your location it won't take much for someone on your network to flood it with their own packet requests.

Make sure your channel for your internet is on Auto or the correct one. Auto will usually shift the channel to whichever one is best, which, usually boils down to either 6 or 11. If you're on something close to but not quite, it causes a weird issue where packets are being sent at a different frequency than everyone else sending packets. I can't explain this one well so Google that at some point.

If you want to check your download / upload speed, I would try this.

If you find it's your windows updates that's causing the issues, you may need to look into either redoing Windows update until all the new updates for your new computer have finished, or disable the service for your windows update.

These are the general things that can cause issues, if you can report what you find in detail it may help narrow what's happening down for someone more tech savvy to offer further suggestions.

I don't recommend installing 'assist' programs if you continue having issues. Most of them are malware or bloatware.


EDIT: On that last note, you say not to ask how but it could be a part of the problem too. Is it a new computer or is it an inherited/bought computer (new "to you"?) Could be a number of unnecessary programs currently installed using the connection actively that need to be uninstalled or disabled.

Good to see another RSD slugging it out.

Hi there, maybe this is already back and I don't know it because I've been elsewhere.


How is the progress on revamping / rebalancing Alchemy & Herbalism coming along? Is there an ETA on when it will be finished, have these been scrapped entirely or is the crafting framework & items to be retained / introduced & all the complicated scripting that would go behind it all still yet to be decided?


Thanks for your time.

If you didn't post the pic of that Halberd I'm sure they would let you replay this if you wanted in the new world. :)

This is the same with trying to put perform on Full Plate

Thanks for letting me sit on that ritual. It was awkwardly timely for my hunt, a shame I couldn't go under the knife with my stalker.
