Heh, I may do a BG search on the vault then if no one is doing one...

Loads of new blunt weapons in Dwar Proper too, and I've gotta track down what the other two have been adding. Some more AI tweaks I think.

So what has changed since last year, around November 1st?

I quite agree regarding the copyrights, but since so many sections of the nwvault are based on copyrighted material then it wouldn't matter enormously I wouldn't have thought. There seem to be loads of people working on that Dragonlance mod, and Lone Wolf has a collection of mods to his name with more to follow.
Can I be in charge of scripting the conversation you have with the really boring guy that nets you XP if you are prepared to sit and click [continue] for ages? I'm sure there are quite a lot of 'poly references I could get in there.

I've just downloaded the latest NWN patch from the site. (Just so you know why if I don't post from uni on Thursday evening )
Murgo Murgatroyd (or whatever), and ToA2 - here I come.
Damn! Should have remembered that I have exams to revise for at some point.

DragonLance Adventures has some beautiful screenshots, but will it be released before NWN2? Only time will tell.

Does anybody know if there're any sci-fi-related NWN modules?
I (knowing absolutely nothing whatsoever about what you can do with the tool-thingummy yet) was thinking about a Gamma World-type crossover and wondered if anybody else had already done some of the work. I did find one that appears to have some sci-fi content but it's still in development apparently...

The new Neverwinter Vault look sucks.

Where the hell is search?



ACK!

[Fve Crathva]

The NWVault page is still under construction. They will add the Search box soon. I don't know why they didn't just release a complete website. For now, you just have to use Google with "site:nwvault.ign.com" in the search query. But the new system is way better than the old system. Browsing happens in one window/tab, instead of opening up a new one each time you visit a new download page, and module entries can have more than one file listed on the download page (so you don't have to go to a different page to download each module file/hakpak/etc.).

I don't know of any SF NWN modules, although one could be made. The problem is that the placeables, tilesets, creatures, etc. provided in the original game and 3 expansions doesn't include anything that could be used to produce an SF setting. So, you'd have to invest a huge amount of time to do the art, before you started creating the module itself.

That said, CoPaP is going to be implementing Spelljamming as a means of traveling between the member planes, and that's kind of science-fictiony. So maybe I'm totally wrong and there is some material already created.

This was the one I ran across ... http://mods.moddb.com/3487/

Not very close to finishing yet, by the looks of things, and aimed more at a near-future (deus ex?) sci-fi than I'd've liked, but it's a start.

[Jamski]

I've seen a few mods with machine guns and lasers and stuff... but with the fantasy scenery... Hmmm...

So it seems no one has finished a BG mod to date

[DrSpike]

Didn't someone try to recreate the SP campaign in NWN though?

[Jamski]

That is what my link is

[DrSpike]

Oops, I thought you were talking about doing a PW of BG.

[Jamski]

That would certainly be an easier option. With a PW one wouldn't have to script in all the story and the NPCs
