Thanks to all for their help on this so far. Updates due soon!!

Yeah! Even with those issues, Wyrin, this is, hands down, the most fun and challenging module I've played to date -- including more so than the OC. (Of course, by many reports, that's not high enough praise.)



I liked it more than Misery Stone (which I really liked, great module) Dark Waters and Pool of Radiance: Remastered. And to me, that is high praise indeed as all those modules I consider to be worthy of professional level efforts (and all are much MUCH better than the OC.)



Looking forward to the updates.



best regards,

QUick update on the blog (http://wyrind.blogspot.com/) - ploughing through those bugs!

[WyrinDnjargo]

By the way, I'd love to hear from someone (anyone?) that's tried this in multiplayer as it's not something I've tested or have the means to test (I have no friends).



Bug list now in the low teens. Starting to turn my attention to final parts of White Plume Mountain itself and the boss fights.

[Damien Jnr]

Hello Wyrin
Has the list moved out of the terrible teens yet? I have a new party ready and waiting to play this. The old party have gracefully retired after they're testing trials and tribulations.
Carry on with the good work.
Cheers
Jan

Hi there



That original list is cut down a fair bit, but new ones have been added (thanks in part to E.C.'s efforts!). Hold off for a few days and I hope to have new updates. But the links above will always lead to the latest version.

[Quixal]

I will add my voice to what Damien Jnr said. Just let us know when you are ready for another round. I am moving on the 9th so time is once again tight, but I will make the time for another run. Good luck on the final bug squashing. It will be good to see LoWPM released.

[WyrinDnjargo]

Thanks Quixal

Had annoying crash during saving that meant I lost a load of changes recently, but think I've managed to work them back in now. Anticipate releasing newer version on Monday.



If anyone has tested current version, I'd appreciate any thoughts on the Geminator (speak to Mel in Soubar).

[Damien Jnr]

Oh come joyous Monday.

This time the forces of Nature are going to have stern words with the forces of Nastiness abounding in the High Moor and Serpent Hills.



P.S. Still trying to work in a level of Paladin, ---------MUST HAVE SWORD

A quick poke in the mod seems to indicate the geminator works. There is an issue with the dialogue when buying it though. "It's a deal!" results in spent gold but no geminator. Only the reluctant purchase option results in product and the merchant running off.

[dwarven_dervish]

Yeah, I can confirm that.

[WyrinDnjargo]

ah ok, yep that got fixed but not uploaded - monday's update will see it in. thanks!

[WyrinDnjargo]

OK, all files (apart from haks - no need to download) have been updated - see link in first post in this thread to redownload.



I got bogged down bug fixing on the sidequests for longer than I hoped so there's still unfinished content in the main quest towards the end. That said, I'm hoping I'm now at the stage where I can focus solely on the main quest and finish that off.



Too many bug fixes to list - I hope most have been fixed permanently, and at least I wasn't getting the crash at DGES.

some key points

- Geminator included - talk to Mel in Soubar. Feedback on the mechanics appreciated (and if should include Craft:Alchemy bonus)

- Gold adjustment per PC entering Soubar

- Numerous monster hp/stat tweaks

- Deck of Destinies scripted - if anyone can find it in Return to White Plume Mountain (once you've finished part 1), I'd appreciate reports on how it works for you once you draw a card

- All non-main quest bugs listed above addressed



Questions

- Are people seeing Nightfear's archers in RtWPM?

- Are overland encounters on the mountain jumping to mountain encounter areas or plains?



Doesn't seem like a lot content-wise, but pinning down those bugs took a fair bit of time. Now to focus on content....

[Gilradthegreat]

Just started playing this, and I found an area that won't let me leave; I go to the area transition and it autosaves, but I don't go anywhere. What console command should I use to get to either the starting city or the overworld map (and, what are their area names)?



Its in the fetid sewers to the north of the starting area. If you want my savegame, I can email it to you.

[Quixal]

There is an exit once you have worked your way through the sewers. Is that one broken?

[Gilradthegreat]

Nah, its the entrance I came from that's broken.

(and no, my current party can't make it through the dungeon to the exit you mentioned! This is the first dungeon the party entered, after all)

[WyrinDnjargo]

Strange as I know these have worked for me and others
Firstly try redowloading that module (with overland map and that sidequest are in this folder )

Then you can use the debug

rs ga_jump_players("wp_soubar",1,1) to escape if needs be

let me know how you get on

Modifié par WyrinDnjargo, 04 août 2010 - 08:14 .

[WyrinDnjargo]

OK, I'd like to issue a quick challenge to players for the areas I've had little/no feedback/reports on - all to the north of the map. Most of these are the higher level challenges, so it may mean importing higher level PCs



- House Orogoth (no reports)

- Thingizzard's Hut (no reports)

- Ziggurat (one report)

- Halls of the Hammer (one report)

- Delzoun tomb (one report)



Free no-prize to first to complete these! On that note, any testers that have ideas/requests for an item or other content by way of recognition and thanks, let me know. I'm open to more tithe boxes, or custom magic items - or any great ideas

[dwarven_dervish]

Did you fix the rest-areas? I can't get the one in the sewers to work.

[WyrinDnjargo]

wasn't aware of that one. I'll take a look. I *think* you may have to find a secret area in the sewers in order to rest, but I'll double check tonight

I have encountered no bugs in House Orogoth.
I have encountered no bugs in Thingizzard's area.
I haven't tested the most recent version of the ziggurat, but the issues used to be an immortal climactic foe and the exit of the ziggurat wigging out and turning everyone invisible instead of letting them leave.
I have encountered no bugs in the Halls of the Hammer.
I have encountered no bugs in Delzoun tomb.

In terms of interesting items, I have always been fond of the Magic Electrifier (could replenish charges on an item by destroying another item)  from SoU. I haven't seen anyone try it in NWN2. Heh, it looks like I need to finally tackle the second part of the mountain to get a look at the cards.

[WyrinDnjargo]

Thanks Quixal, you're a star!

Hope they were fun! The ziggurat foe should no longer be immortal, but I may have missed the transition bug - I'll check up tonight.



An item charger could be interesting... will have to think on the mechanics for scripting it but Quixal's Magic Electrifier should be doable.

[Quixal]

My pleasure. I will try to find some time to test the ziggurat tonight.

What shape is Bright Mountain in at this point? Should I test it as well?

Edit: I had another item related thought. Blackrazor, Whelm and Wave have generic descriptions. Though ultimately you don't have them in your possession very long as you are more than likely just ferrying them back to Soubar, it is rather anticlimactic when you take your first look at them. Obviously this is a minor issue that takes a backseat to actual bugs.

Modifié par Quixal, 04 août 2010 - 04:30 .

[WyrinDnjargo]

Their descriptions should be fixed in latest patch.



Bright mountain worked for me last time I tested - managed to sort out Carradoc bug and door should be bashable
