I am thinking of putting Natfka: cormyrean prophecies back up on a server. My family and I go through and play every year or two for ol' times sake. Let me know if there's interest. My email is nwnnatfka@gmail.com. Would be good to get a sherlile run in again.

Can you give a little description of the server and its rules?

Hey Mark,

 

Is this the original NATFKA build or is this something you built? I used to play on the NATFKA server and would love to see it come back.

[NWN Mark]

Yes fallere,  this is the original. It'll be a few days. I'm still discussing with my family who wants to host it among us, which bugs we want to fix, and whether to we can work the subraces back into it. All the classes, all hundred or so, still work fine.

 

I'll answer icywinds question in a bit, or Fallere can if he would like to.

Hey Icywinds, so natfka server is a large mod with thousands of maps with main "runs" ranging from mountain giants to wolf spiders, ice plane to deep underdark purple worms, fireguard keep to dragonmere coast (a starting run of about 6 maps). The world all intertwines mostly from to areas, GDI and Suzail. The starting classes are normal, but after level 1, the player has a hundred or so classes to choose from with nearly limitless build possibilities, Sorcerer, Red dragon disciple, archmage for example. Levels range from 1-40.

I'v made most gear purchasable, besides epic gear. Mule is still disabled, so no dropping at this time for newer characters made. However, gold is droppable as normal. Item level is restriction is on, as well.

You can party up for bigger runs like the widow and balor (epic runs) with epic loot +6 and better gear. The only way to find those.

That sounds very interesting. Are there any quests, or is it a pure grind? What are your rest restrictions, if any? Does it use CEP? Are there any spell changes or disabled feats? Do you have an ETA on when it will be ready?

[NWN Mark]

ok, we'r releasing it next saturday, valentine's day. I will post all necessary HAK and TLK files to play this week, as well as how to install nwn for windows 7 etc. with bugs... feel free to email me with any questions. I will also give the direct connect info at that time as well. 

if your friends are interested, gog.com sells diamond edition for 10$.

[NWN Mark]

yes, lots of spell changes made by the creator, not me. there are no quests. When this server was up years ago, lots of people quested together on "runs" on particularly difficult places, such as Mountain giants, widow, etc. I would like to set something up so someone can post that they'r free to make a run at a certain time and to join them if free. 

 

rest restrictions require you to be in most towns or at a campsite at tyrluk before entering the storm horns, and a few others. 

[icywind1980]

Thanks for the info. Sounds like it could be a fun hack n slash. Is there any kind of story at all? Any conflict or reason to go out and kill everything, or simply just go and kill?

[NWN Mark]

Hey guys, the server will go up late late tonight. I will post the IP address direct connect with directions.
Dropbox was unable to upload all of my HAK files. So, if you are unable to find the necessary HAK files necessary from the server vault or Google, I will create something for you to download the files from.

Please feel free to email nwnnatfka@gmail.com as well, but posting here is best.

[NWN Mark]

After you log into nwn game, go to join online game (this is slow, let it load), and scroll down to direct connect, then type in the direct connect IP address listed above.

71.214.116.174:5121

Sorry, router jumped address on me. Use:
174.25.34.215:5121

I will set up a static ip later today, my apologies

[AlexKidd]

I'm able to log in, just waiting for the custom haks to be distributed again (old vault ones have been wiped, if you can find a alternate link lmk plz). Hope to meet you there soon.

 

P.S. Looks like the first class must be a vanilla NWN one, and need to be level 2+ to select PRC stuff? Any info about availabe subraces would be welcome too (tbh, I hope OP ones like rakshasa&Co aren't availabe).

[NWN Mark]

Hey guys, I've seen a few people on. Glad to see everybody is getting on ok.

I recommend HIGHLY that u start with killing zombies with a crossbow, the Warriors and pirates are slow and easy to pick off. This is a hard core mod, just like the old days. It was ranked #1 in 2006 I believe. Party up with ppl and ask questions here or on the server.
Harpies are the next natural progression after zombies, but You'll need immunity to mind spells or be in a group.
The goblin areas out of gdi western forest are also revamped. Go here from levels 4-10. The xp comes quick.

If I am on playing or as DM, shoot me a shout and I will raise you, as will others as people progress into the mid and high levels. Everyone is friendly.

Good luck,
DM_Mark

Hey guys update on gog.com. You need to email customer support for your custom cd key for it to work. It's on their page : http://www.gog.com/s..._nights_diamond

And I will be working on sub races the next couple weeks. It will be slow work probably. All my subrace files don't work in their current format.

[NWN Mark]

an update to those of you having issues logging in due to too many feats or not being able to level in game.
Doogieboy identified the issue as being a incompatibility with the HAK and prc updates.
To work around this: when building your character at level 0, you cannot choose the feats: martial weapon proficiency (if you get this for free, that is fine), skill focus, and perhaps exotic weapon proficiency. Skills no ride or parry. Spells: no resistance or protection from evil.
You can choose all these at level 2 in the game.

Hey everyone! Glad that Natfka is back up and running. Even though it has some bugs that will get worked out.

[Johnny Ringo]

It looks like the update has fixed some (hopefully most) of the leveling issues that people have been having.

Hello,

Old Natfka player here.  Just wondering if the server was up and running.  If so I was hoping to get a look at it over the weekend, though I hear it is still having some trouble with leveling.  I've attempted to connect but it keeps failing, so I thought it might simply not be up, I do not know how to check really and have not had NWN installed in at least a year so I am hoping it is all configured correctly (I followed the instructions in one of the previous posts).

Thanks to you guys for being willing to put forth the effort to even try and get it up and going again. 

[NWN Mark]

Hi zakoam, I fixed the leveling issues, and players have been on all weekend. What issue are you having? You'll have to use the direct connect option and enter in the IP address to get on.
Email nwnnatffka@gmail.com if you need HAK and tlk files.

[Lordstern]

hopefully we can bring back good amount of people. I've been on once so far and then all the memories start flooding .

[zakoam]

Well, I am tinkering with this a little whenever I have some spare time and just trying different things and adjustments, but I admit these sorts of things are not my strong suit.

 

If anyone has any ideas:  I can find Natfka via Direct Connect.  I was even able to make a character.  When I try to log in, however, I get a black screen with the title music continuing to play and after about 2 minutes it tells me that the connection could not be made and it timed out.

 

I tried running a normal game on NWN, the base game so I know the game itself runs fine.

 

I tried connecting to another random server and found it and when trying to connect it told me I was missing their custom .tlk file, which has never happened when trying to connect to Natfka, so I am still assuming I have all of the custom .haks and .tlks correct.

 

Any ideas for what to try next?  

[NWN Mark]

I have a few suggestions: 1. Have you emailed me for the tlk and HAK files? Have I added you to the share list? You might be missing one.
2. Try different settings on the configuration page.
3. If u click the update, does it says are fully updated?

[NWN Mark]

Hey guys, Im almost done with the epic spell issue. Everyone should be able to learn epic spells at any location now.
Second, m16a2 is working on hosting a website for Natfka. This will have all the tlk and HAK files needed so u won't need to email me. It will also have a way to post for teaming up with people for runs. This becomes nicer when people are trying to go to the ice plain, fireguard, spider dens, etc.
I'm going to set up some more caravans for people, and I'm still working on the subraces. Priorities I suppose.
A few of the areas are tweaked: goblins, spiders, and the dragonmere coast now give a little better xp with less respawn time. I also added an easy golem to help with gold issues in the goblin caves.

[NWN Mark]

Hey everyone, a few updates. http://Natfka.ddns.net is the site for natfka. Thanks so much to m16a2! Currently, he has the site up withy the natfka trailer and HAK and tlk file downloads.

I will be adding a new player guide this week. I added another epic area attached to fireguard with an epic merchant within as well.
