If the toolset is waiting for you.... Join the community project. There is plenty to do and even more people to help to you.
Join in and there will be something for you to help with.

As for the origininal post I have completed 2 of the 5 modules and have games started in 2 other ones. They are all good and would recommend them to everyone, though I am a bit partial to one of them.

I'd join and do a little module, but I know nothing about the toolset. Is there any tutorial out there, NWN2 Toolset for Dummies or the like?

The Don't Panic guide is good. I used it when I was starting.

B.) I actually played it, the combat was just too easy, even on the hardest difficulty setting. It takes away the "survival" out of survival horror.

It's not horror (unless you are one of the unlucky orcs-turned-firework), but I doubt you will find the combat in The Wizard's Apprentice to be easy.

Thanks Kamal, I'll take a look, though I can't promise I'll build anything.

This has got to be the most ridiculous time to have put up a module.

I'm not sure which one (in the top list) but I just saw a spammer vote 9.5 (selling some kind of s hoes). Since when do spamm bots vote?

Also some tutorial DM mod just bumped a ton of people down. Pretty obvious it belongs in tutorials. Whatever it got all the 10s from, its clear its not for the same reasons.

Like I said, its a silly time to try and get coverage.

Same spammer for all entries. But the Vault must have removed the vote as I don't see one.

Islander is a kick-ass campaign. It's a real drag to see it get bumped by a tutorial.

Dr Oxfo... I mean Eguintir,
Someone registered a NWN Vault account today just to vote down DM 101. Maybe that trend will continue and pettiness will return your module to its proper place among modules.

[Eguintir Eligard]

ya i see that hatter. Thanks for your petty not so subtle accusation. If I wanted to boost my standings artificially I could ask some friends. 2 out of 3 people on my test team didnt even vote (only Reider). I'd rather have the general publics reaction so I can tell if I went down the right track with my creation and should it continue.

If I feel a mod is out of place i mention it to the author as I did in the past for the poison system. And guess what, he moved it. But hey far be it to for me to bring facts into your world.

But thanks for the pettiness.

Bizarre, I don't see posts from them in Reider's entry. Though I do see a spammer with no vote.

Hey, chill out guys. I know the spamvoters are annoying - I got an ad for shoes on my Scriptable Party system page... a rather niche project which has so far been downloaded 28 times. I mean, really? But at the end of the day, it's really not worth getting worked up over.

Me neither. I see one (amysu) selling Air Jordans, but no vote.

Who's worked up? It's a vote thread, we're talking about votes.

I see it in the (view stats) window kamal. Heres a clip

ruanlixia 6.75 With summer approaching, we have to begin our work of looking for new clothes, shoes and even hair styles. NBA jerseys are the best choice for wearing in summers.


here is a clip of guan (its much longer fyi)

with a 10 vote.
Those who did not want to be subjected to lectures, gossips and shame Omega Seamaster Watches opted to stay miserably married. Under the new rules, if couples are not fighting over property rights or child custody, they can get their divorce in minutes. Other reasons Omega Aqua Terra for the spike in Omega Speedmaster divorce: increased social mobility, especially the relaxation of the "hukou," or household registration system, Omega De Ville that has accelerated internal migration; the one-child policy, some negative effects of rapid economic growth on peoples' values, and Juicy Couture Dresses the dramatic change in the status of women.

I dont think any of these votes had impact on the authros as a 6.75 and a 10 wash out to what?? but it was weird when i saw it today. The 9.5 I saw was for a module with a 9.53 or something so again, a wash out.

Its kind of funny though I wonder if bots prefer hack n slash or story book style?

[Eguintir Eligard]

Here is the window (you have to click view stats)

If I am the o nly one who sees this I better check into rehab. Like I said though its making for some weird times. It hasnt made the standings any different from what I see its just bizarre; voting bots? What do you do with that it just blows my mind

Strange, I see that if I go to the address typed in your address bar, but not by going to the regular vault entry. My guess it the Vault removed it from the regular page but it still shows there for whatever reason. I wonder if it affects the score.

When they popped up, I asked admin to remove them.

[Eguintir Eligard]

Reider you s houlda asked them to remove just the 6.75

This has got me thinking maybe its time to try the PATH OF EVIL. Maybe I'll break some ties.
In fact I will try it, and I for now I put up an interim vote /comment, Kamal:

Vote: 8.50 Comment: Running today is as important as breathing. So you should do both with new nike air sneakers nike air sneakers give you all the benefit in the world nothing beats a nike air shoe for nike air is the leader in the shoe industry

Hmm. Tough call. Is that *really* spam posing as a post within a post or is it a post posing as spam in a post about spam?

Spam spam spam spam spamm! Wonderful SPAM!

Shut up! Shut Up!

Well done sir.  With appreciation for quotes like that, you should play TWA2 when it comes out...

My opinion (which I'm aware no-one asked for) is that if module makers were more concerned with creating modules to please themselves, and less concerned about votes or what other people think about them, then we'd have more truly unique and ground-breaking modules out there. Trying to please others is something you'll never be entirely successful at, and can compromise your own vision for the module.

When I make a module, I'm only interested in one persons's opinion - mine. That's why I never bother to advertise my releases via custom signatures or 'new module' threads. If I have fun playing them, then I'm satisfied. And I'd certainly not waste peoples' time creating threads about modules that haven't even been released yet. I've had too many computer crashes or pesky real-life events happen to be silly enough to give release dates, or to even guarantee the completion of a project at all.

My next module (which just needs a bit of polish now) won't even allow commenting or voting when I post it to the vault. I don't intend to give hints or walk-throughs, and I don't want others spoiling the experience by doing so either. I've never had any desire to seek the approval of complete strangers - something the current generation, with their online social networks, seems to think is important for some reason.

I'll get down off my soapbox now...

That would be a fine concept if we all made modules for our own amusment. Unfortunately for myself, I can think of much quicker ways to amuse myself then to spend years making a game for myself that lasts about 15 hours.

That said discussion blogs about your game aren't a waste of time. It keeps the community alive.

I toyed with the idea of a no votes (but yes comments) for my campaign and I was quickly hit with the realization that if it doesnt have votes, its not visible. If its not visible it doesnt get downloaded. Im around 800 votes total (with my 2 versions of Islander that went up) which is close enough to my 1000 goal that I am satisfied. I really think the satisfaction in getting to 2000 would be much less than this amount was. Just hitting quad digits to me by my rough math, balanced out the played time of others vs my work time. Thats my personal goal.

If you are truly making a module for yourself I dont know why even put it on the vault.

Personally, I build because I enjoy it, and I hope to have something at the end which others will also enjoy playing. If they don't, I'll probably be sad, but whatever. If I could think of quicker ways to amuse myself than building, I'd do them. In fact, I often can think of them, and do them. Then I eventually come back and build some more.
