  • Couple of Ideas...

    1)
    Under the "Public Info" section, would it be possible to layout and sticky something that would have a topic of "Playable Races" and what's allowed and not allowed?
    (I actually convinced my honey to make a NWN char and play the solo game and he liked his Aasimar Paladin. Went to make one and it said to check the faq).

    I ask for this b/c I told him he could. Obviously I was wrong, but it was because we both though all the rules were posted in the forums (which is what both of us search primarily for server rules).

    2)
    While the Faq clearly says that only 1 certain override is allowed, I was wondering about either us players having access to the "Less spell effects" or the server adding something to make the spell effects a bit less on the front and sucking up my gfx card. I know a ton of graphics can make the server a bit laggy too, but 90% of them (minus the body ones) once their cast need to be seen.

    Ex: I saw a group of 8 people walking down a path the other day, 3 or 4 of them had this big buff - and a giant star all over their body. My computer froze as they slowly made their way, and when they zoned it jumped and showed me everything that happened in that brief moment.

    As I said, I'm content just having that allowed for us to use if the server admins don't wanna use it - but at the same time I don't wanna get banned for using something the server peeps don't "authorize"

    1) Everything related to this can be found in the wiki here: http://wiki.sundren.org

    2) We restrict everything through the server so that it has to be approved by us in order for it to work. While I understand some people like using the lessened spell effects we have no plans to implement this so unfortunately you won't be able to use it.

    I hope that answers everything, also if you find a piece of information that's difficult to find and isn't in the wiki -- let us know... the wiki is there as an information resource for everything, where the forums are kind of a fallback for anything not there.
    The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.

      That does answer it. Was hoping that the lessened spell graphics would at least be something that could be considered. While I have a good comp - even my comp at times (meeting several people who're buffed to the max) makes my computer go "Uhhh... yea... later."

      Not sure personally whether it has been looked at in the past, but if not maybe it could be something that could be brought up to talk about? There's a lot of stuff and work that's been done by others that would make the work minimal at best to add it onto the server for peeps to use.

      Just my 2 cents (and really, my only complaint. LoL )

        I'm guessing its probably been discussed lots of times before..lessened spell effect mods have been around for a good long while :/ must be a good reason they don't use it, shame though...if you're a mage your adventuring pals usually need a trip to the local temple for a cure blindness spell

          It's kind of annoying to implement too. You end up with nearly every spell script in your module just to remove the vfx from them. Not to mention tedious.
