as for other poly characters- we really need a CivNation sprouting fundamentalist doggerl... and of course his good buddy and 'little brother' (IE his DL) DefensorFidei

leading the God Squad against the forum atheists... technophile, Provost Harrison, et. al.

Problems today : balance issues galore ! Mattyboy is selling really good stuff too cheap, AH and his DLs are REALLY REALLY FRICKING TOUGH! Improved Tass is completely lethal. DrSpike is too weak. DrSpike's orcs are too tough. Trip, Drogue and Aaglo are naked. MtG is invisible. Area 24 is too nice. Area 24 is also too hard to find. The drunkards in Skanky's Bar & Grill are too annoying. Urban Ranger's beer is too cheap. His longbow is too good. etc.

have I been added yet? I guess even if I were you wouldnt mention that I was too annoying as that is the point isnt it?

Herc, do you want to be the on-duty officer at Drogue's Recreation Commons and Cocktail bar

Great position - to accept bribes, to be a the end of greasy palms.

Want in Sir, no problem Sir, seat by the window? , no problem Sir. Ah Thank you sir you are too kind.
and if there's anything you want, know what I mean Sir, just give me the nod.

Or is it. 'No thank you Mr Drogue sir, I am on duty until midnight, but thank you for the offfer'

Is that a Mr Urban Ranger over there spamming with Dr Spike?

Good crowd of Commie Zombies in tonight if I might be so bold to comment.

Better Dead and Red I say

korn469 · December 17, 2003, 00:52

lol add me too if you want

Jamski · December 17, 2003, 05:41

You guys have no idea of the fun I am having as I use you as my twisted puppets.

I wanted to leave religion out of the game, but if I can work it in without offending the god-lovers or the god-bashers then I'll give it a go. These two parties are so easily upset, you know.

WARNING ! THIS MODULE CONTAINS SCENES OF VIOLENCE, NUDITY, PROSTITUTION, ORGANISED CRIME, PREMEDITATED MURDER, THEFT, CONSUMPTION OF HARD DRINKS, RACIST, SEXIST AND IRRELIGEOUS LANGUAGE, FOUNTAINS OF BLOOD AND INFANTILE HUMOUR.

(That's the best advert for most of us

Wow I might even get the game.

It IS great

Urban Ranger. I hope you don't mind being constantly drunk... and letting people walk off with your cool gear.

Could you make a character who wouldn't be drunk regardless how much he drank?

All purple and gold with spiked shoulderpads and big boots.

What about Deity Armour?

Jamski · December 17, 2003, 13:14

Ah... Deity Armour... this is one of those things like Area 24. No spoilers on the really cool stuff, sorry. Just assume its good, and expensive and you can't buy it in a shop, not even in Mattyboy's Specials. That's all I'll say about it.

Grumpy MtG and the "happy sailors" (Boris, Mr Fun etc) added today, also WICKED commie zombie AI (if I say so myself) Its good that you get some help against them... AH's DLs turned down a bit. Funky lighting effects added everywhere. Lots of bugs and typos caught. Civillians no longer go angry if you kill a box or a table unless its flagged as their property (best not to smash the place up still). Vlad fixed. Spam Badger Maze more devious.

Who are the BIGGEST APOLYTON TROLLS? I need them as the Troll Bosses.

Oh it will be... in places. But for every hard area, there's a trick to make it easier. Don't want everyone to die before they can see all my hard work, eh?

dacole · December 17, 2003, 16:22

So have I been included if not and you decide to do religion work me in as some sort of moderate working for peace between the flameing atheists and flameing fundamentalists (and as always hated by both parties)

MattH · December 17, 2003, 16:33

Man, I can't wait to start!
Just don't make the puzzles too obvious. NWN main and Shadows tended to walk you straight to your destination and say "kill this".

Not yet... but don't fear, I have more characters than I have people I want to put in. Just writing dialogues is the thing that takes the longest... especially as I like to fill them with INT, WIS and CHA checks which means every line of dialog has 3 lines of script...

MattH, as you're my "official beta tester" I can send you nightly builds if you like (or every few days as I compile the script-mess) Just give me an e-mail address that can take a file of about 1 meg.

As for puzzles, most of these come from just finding who to talk to, and the best way to avoid the baddies. Apart from the Spam Badger Maze, which is EVIL.

Yeah, give me an e-mail address, and I'll send you an "unlocked" beta build of the first 15 levels (unlocked == you can use my DM portals to skip around the locations faster.)

There's a NWN Ankh-Morpork!?!

Yes :

Don't know if its any good though.

MattH · December 17, 2003, 19:39

Downloaded the Ankh- and pm sent.

MattH · December 17, 2003, 20:17

OT: Well, I played the Ankh-Morpork Mod for about 5 minutes, and that's all I can take. I still belive that Morrowind is the only game that can do the city justice. Maybe I'll try to lay something out over the break.

Jamski · December 17, 2003, 20:26

Apolyton_beta_2_0.mod zipped and sent. Have fun, and check the readme.

##HINT : Use Asmodean's shop early on. He buys at a good rate, and has some useful stuff for starting characters. Don't use his portals unless you have too, they will be locked in non-beta builds.##

The usual suspects: AH, Tass, CivNation, Wiggie, Asher, and Agathon. JohnT is making a name for himself recently, too.

Jamski · December 18, 2003, 04:29

AH & Tass in already.
Asher needed to kill mac users
The others can all happily go in the troll hole
