the average zombie isn't going to be an OMG death machine. But as you gain in power, the toughed ones are going to be a bit more attracted to you (mob scaling based on APL in area)
For the bosses there might be some form of warning when you enter an area if there is one spawned there, we haven't discussed all the details yet. I won't announce every spawn point for them because that will take a lot away from it I think.
Back to vacation!

My point is that if everywhere is equally dangerous and doomish, you kinda can't. I used the user defined event flags and local variables to make sure all the bosses couldnt spawn at once.

Hey all. I'm back after my hiatus for mourning. I'm still not in full swing but I need to get back to work on this. If you've been waiting to hear from me expect in some time today. If you don't get anything by midnight tonight just send me a polite reminder.
Sorry for the black out time, I needed it.

I might not do daily updates anymore, it's tough to do them when it's really the same update each time "I built some more" so I think I'll aim for twice a week and give more interesting updates.
I'll start today.
We've brought in a new scripter. Xanarkan. He's already hard at work creating a fun new script for "wildlife." We're still working out a few little bugs in it, but so far it's looking really neat and I can't wait to give everyone a look at it later on. I've sent an area out to Osric for some decoration work, it's his first time doing stuff for us and I can't wait to see his work.
If anyone else wants to do some decorating work (or more decorating work if you've done some already) shoot me a message over PM or Skype and I'll happily send you something to work on.

After a harrowing 24 hours I am pleased to announce that Balls and I were able to fix the problem created by updating my stupid graphics card and NWN once again works. It was touch and go for a bit there and we didn't think it would make it, but she pulled through and runs once more. Yeah...I just need a better computer one of these days.
On the module front things are going well. I'm going to look into other internet providers in my area soon to see if anyone can offer me a better deal then what I have (what I have is crap amount of data for way too high a price.) If I can mange to get a good deal for it I am hoping that we can have module test runs hosted.

Every doorway will lead to something...this means that Kalaram South with it's 59 doorways will have 59 WORKING doorways...that's a lot of interiors to build....my brain is turning to mush....

Today I've been driven insane by interiors so I'm taking a break from them to work on the vaults and the passages leading up to the vaults. We're getting there with the build guys, then it's dressing.

Nice to hear we're getting there. Good luck with the interiors, and do try to keep sane.

wow, so it's official that I suck at updating people. Still coming along, got all those interiors done and moved on to the next batch. Doing my best to make this look good as I go. Not easy with everything else going on, but it's coming along.
On the non-toolset end of things, I have been looking into a new ISP that offers unlimited data so that would be a great leap towards the server going live.
The system I was looking at getting seems to have fallen through so I'll have to look at another box for hosting the server on.

Maybe we should say they are more like "When Avvy remembers" updates.

update for the last little bit.
Things continue to move along slowly. I've lost a builder for the time being due to computer issues, but I've gained a few other people who want to help out. On the computer/internet end I have tentative unlimited bandwidth. We'll see how long it lasts. (I don't trust the current provider to not suddenly charge us a rediculous amount more even though they said they wouldn't) My computer continues to be a slow beast but it is running still.

I'm thinking sometime in the next three weeks (need to check my scheduling still) I am going to do some test hosting of NWN servers. It might not be SoS, or it might be old SoS. This would be a few hours here and there just to see how my computer/internet handles it at this house. I will announce each test at least two days in advance.
