The Dungeon of Apolyton

[MattH]

Talking about Mr. P, I haven't seen him in ages. And his profile says last post: 11-18-03. Did something happen?

So, Jamski... what exactly do I do in this module?

There is a whole thread about it in the community forum. It seems nobody has the answer.

[Jamski]

We get to kill panag in this dungeon?

Yes oh yes oh yes

So, Jamski... what exactly do I do in this module?

Stand around and give orders. You are a General after all...

***VERSION 1.0 IS NOW FINISHED AND IN THE PROCESS OF BEING UPLOADED***

Expect a new thread telling you how to get it when I have it sorted out (could take up to 24 hours, sorry, as NWN vault don't update for a while )

I can post the ReadMe to keep you excited.

******************************
*****THE APOLYTON DUNGEON*****
******************************

VERSION 1.0

A module for Neverwinter Nights
Design by Jamski
Scripting by Jamski
Story by Jamski
Beta Testing by MattH

This is a work of fiction. All references to persons living or dead are purely concidental. Yeah right.

***Installing the Module***

1. Unzip the file The Dungeon of Apolyton into your Neverwinter Nights Modules folder. The default location is C:\Neverwinternights\NWN\modules
2. Unzip the file Apolyton.hak into your Hakpack folder. The default location is C:\Neverwinternights\NWN\hak
3. That's it.

***Starting the Module***

1. Start the game as normal.
2. Select the option "New" or "New Game"
3. Select "Other Modules"
4. Select "Apolyton"
5. Either create a new character, or choose one you already created.
6. Play.

***Before you Start***

It's highly reccommended to add these lines to nwnplayer.ini under [Game Options] or change them if they are already there :

Single Player ItemLevelRestrictions=0
Single Player Enforce Legal Characters=0
Memory Level=2
Memory Access=2

This will allow you to a.) use all the items and b.) see the adult content of this module.

Also reccommended is to add this under [Control Options] :

unlockcamera=1

This does like it says, so you can have a good look around.

***Other Advice***

a.) This module is designed to be played on the normal difficulty setting with a new level one character. It is balanced to be "fun but challenging" at this level. Don't use a level 20 wizzie with immunity to everything unless you WANT to fight creatures designed to test low-level characters.
b.) Talk to everyone and listen to what they say. Only by helping a series of unrelated quests, spread over the whole game, is it possible to access Area 24, or to become a Moderator.
c.) Attacking innocents can cause you to become stuck. Sometimes you can carry on. Use some sense, and don't kill the only person who knows a password, for example. Many people when killed will cause thier friends to be agressive to you. Watch out, some people have REALLY tough friends.
d.) Almost all quests CAN be completed without fighting. I won't say how... but think SNEAKY.
e.) If you get a load of text in german this means one of two things. Either its reporting a failure in a dialogue (in which case try repeating the conversation, or returning later in that story line) or the text is an item description for a common object, that I "borrowed" but didn't translate - yet. You don't need to know what a table looks like in german
f.) At the moment the ending "movie" is missing to keep the download small. This will be packaged with future versions, after I have everything fixed, I hope...

***Technical Problems***

If you can't get the module to work :

1.) You need the first X-pack "Shadows of U-blah-blah"
2.) You need to make sure NWN is looking in the right directory. This line must be in nwn.ini under [Alias] :
MODULES=.\modules
3.) Make sure you unpacked it in the right directory.
4.) If its still not working at all, then send me an e-mail and tell me exactly what's wrong. j_maunders@yahoo.co.uk Put APOLYTON DUNGEON in the header.

***Game Problems***

A walkthrough will be available soon, and will be packed with future releases. If you're stuck... then I can get to the end, so you need to try something else, or you've killed my module, you monster!

***Release History***

Beta1.0(partial) 16.Dec.2003

And what kind of orders do I give? The "Quick-MARCH! Atten-SHUN!" type, the "Kick all adventurers out right now!" type, or the "Bring me the head of that meddlesome hero! Oh, and behead everyone in the town under five, as well." type?

[Jamski]

You give the kind of orders like "go and talk to x" or "I can tell you where y might be."

Sorry, but someone has to fill this role

[MattH]

woohoo!!!

[Jamski]

*sigh* Still waiting for http://nwvault.ign.com/Files/modules/ to update If you get bored go and type "apolyton" into the search box every few hours...

Why, oh why, do they update so infrequently ?

How big is your file?

[Space05us]

How big is your file?

[MattH]

I can toss something up real quick if it's <2MB.

[CapitanGarlic]

Damn, I am very, very late!

I shall petition to be in 1.1...lord knows what as. The whiny, annoying brother of ixnay? I'm good at that as is .

Will download when available, though. Commendation for your hard work is in order.

[Jamski]

Its available! See the download thread for death-hails! I mean details.

-Jam

[ixnay]

Well hey, it would appear I'm in this.

[Jamski]

You are indeed - as a GOOD GUY - wow!

Get the Dungeon HERE.

Some Moderator might want to lock this thread or perhaps its worth keeping it open for the v1.1 suggestions

Whatever.
