These are exciting times for Cryptic! As we integrate more completely with Perfect World, our companies will come together to deliver quality MMO experiences. As part of our separation from Atari and integration into Perfect World, we must make a variety of changes to our products, websites and services. Most of the more immediate changes players will see are cosmetic or are back-end modifications, but there are areas that you should be aware of. For example, we’re swapping out logos, revising the Privacy Policy and changing Atari Tokens to Cryptic Points. Naturally, you have questions and we’d like to answer them as best we can. So, please check out our FAQ and our Q&A Discussion Thread linked below to learn more about what this transition means for you. —————————————————————————— Neverwinter Nights —————————————————————————— Realms of Mythology Clothing v1b by Realms of Mythology Creative Team http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Hakpaks.Detail&id=8070 This hak contains clothing, helmets, tails and wings.

The adventurers are recruited, and placed on the front lines as a special unit, supporting the body of the Imperial Armies as they drive north. Fourth module in the Parthenon Campaign. This is the first non-prelude module. It continues from where Chapter 3 left off. The module should be played with characters from Chapter 1,2 & 3. Ideally, with the same party, as well. However, you should be able to play with a different group or with a different character with a minimum of fuss, thanks to a character/party verification system. See the README for rules changes.

While you only intend to spend a quiet evening in this sleepy village, you end of gettng much more than you bargained for. This module is intended for a new character, especially non-fighter types who have difficulty with the first level. There is almost no combat. It is a story-driven module. Those looking for lots of combat and puzzles may find it boring. Those looking for interesting characters and a good story (hopefully) will like it.

But a baptism of fire awaits you once you step within the gates of Arenjun, Zamora’s second city and renowned throughout the Hyborian lands as the City of Thieves.” These are the second chronicles set in RE Howard’s world of Conan. While the city of Arenjun and the setting is taken from the Conan stories of RE Howard and others, the adventure itself is original. It is suitable for PCs of around 15-17th level, either a pre-existing PC who completed Conan Chronicles 1 or a new PC level who can be autoleveled at the start of the game.

This helps to breathe more life and realism into your populated areas, making them more engaging than is possible with NPCs that have static names, clothing, etc. Flexibility was kept in mind when making this pack, so module makers have the option to switch the various dynamic components on and off through altering the local variables on the NPCs themselves. This means if you want, you can give NPCs set names or specific sets of clothing quite easily.

The salty smell of the sea lingers in the air, mingled with the smells of rotting meat and sweat. The last warmth of the afternoon fades into the rock terraces and cobbled roadways, seeping the warmth into a damp coldness. A slight shifting breeze rustles the colourless foliage of hibernating trees. The night is unusually clear, clouds drifting slowly across the skyscope. The moon hangs full in the sky, but casts no light. A silence lurks from the darkness. Eyes watch from hidden locations, of beasts, men and creatures of a more sinister nature. Welcome to Luskan.

Neverwinter Nights News Shattered Lands – Scars of Time (NWN-1.69) ( NEW PW ) http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=gameworld.Detail&id=1356 Shattered Lands, is based in Forgotten Realms, and is a server where most play styles are welcome. The server is meant for fun and relaxation with guidelines, rather than rules. It has been designed around a role-playing or acting concept, but “power-gamers” are welcome, so long as they are respectful to the community, and are even encouraged to participate; as long as they bring something to the metaphorically placed table. The setting takes place in Faerun, as mentioned above, along the High Ice glacier, which for unknown reasons to the random traveler, has had a path cut through the ice, where rumors of vast gold, artifacts, and even tales of ancient ruins of Netheril await. It is said that the land beyond the ice, is known as the “Shattered Lands”, and has had native residents for a much, much, longer a time, than the path has been opened to Greater Faerun. A path that is rumored to only have been accessible for some estimated five hundred years. These estimates come from the Sheragrad nomads, who have only discovered this peculiar region in the last one hundred years. The Gether Caravans have taken it upon themselves to aid travelers through the Anauroch desert, to the nomadic camp, and even provide them with a small boon so as to keep them safe during their first few travels, for reasons unknown. The traveler arrives in the desert, the caravans pulling near the mines; the nomadic camp lay shortly off to the West. Their destiny lay in their own hands.

Smith’s nwnsnsscomp) to the NWN2 toolset. The compiler is seamlessly integrated and automatically used when compiling scripts from the toolset. Features include better code generation, better warnings and error messages, and the ability to receive more than one compile error at once. Additionally, an improved console script compiler (replacing nwnnsscomp) is also included, with various bugfixes and improvements over nwnnsscomp. In particular, NWN1 datafiles aren’t required anymore for the console compiler, and nwscript.nss can be loaded from the game zip files. Various fixes are also made to ensure that scripts compiled with the console compiler are also compileable by the stock script compiler.

The journy to retrieve it will take you through a large, unexplored swamp to a ruined keep, the former headquarters of a vile cult that once claimed the lives of many innocent youths. You cautiously accept the mission. But who knows what monsters lurk in the vast marsh? Are the old ruins occupied, perhaps by things even more dangerous than the previousl residents? Beware, for the eerie green light shining upward from the central tower, the beacon that guides your way, may attract others as well. To succeed, you must penetrate the keep and find a unique Black Flame worshipped by the old cult. Could those evil ones be lurking about still? You will know soon… To solve the mysteries of Baltron’s Beacon, you must excel in handling wilderness, building ruins, dungeons, traps, puzzels, and monsters. Player- Single or multi-player. Level- 5-7. New players leveled to 6. finish at 8 or 9. Game play- Hack and slash. Don’t look for any mushy romances, or intellectual orations. Play time- About 6 hours.

All that stands between Tysan and the security for his family that he has worked a lifetime to achieve. Now, as illness brings Tysan’s days to a close, and Lord Nasher threatens to direct his inheritance to the temple of Lathander, the future and fortune of Tysan’s family hangs in the balance. Just one document stands between Lord Tysan and the redemption he needs; a muster confirmation. Sealed with the arms of Lord Nasher himself. With the documents long gone the quest to help Lord Tysan seems futile. Not all have lost hope however, Cleric Ormin still holds the belief that his patron can be cleared and the shadow hanging over his family lifted. The proof is there to be found but he cannot find it alone. Not twenty four hours after your fight with Taneth you are swept up by the events going on around you again. Instead of the hard earned rest you deserve you find yourself travelling to Thunder Bay in search of answers from the cleric Ormin. Once there, instead of answers you find only more questions, and the list of people wanting to kill you seems to grow longer with each passing day … Location Forgotten realms – in the area of Neverwinter.

Show Notes: NWN1 Tutorial Review http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=community_news.Detail&id=2934 Ever wanted to know how to make or import animated textures into NWN 1? Well, you’re in luck! I’ve just uploaded a 5 part tutorial to YouTube which should help you get on the track to making and importing your own animated textures. At the end of the tutorial you’ll be able to create your own animated textures from scratch, import and convert ANY animated .GIF into a NWN-ready sprite sheet and have access to tools which will allow you to basically convert any moving image sequence (including from videos) into an animated NWN texture. Covers BOTH TGA/TXI textures on meshes and Emitters. NWN1 Module Review Agrenost: Beneath the Cobbles was a finalist for the AME Golden Dragon Award for Best Roleplaying Module! http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Modules.Detail&id=6027 “It’s deeply atmospheric and it contains one of the best-designed cities I’ve ever seen. With its seedy, darkened alleys bustling with peddlers, beggars, and thugs, Agrenost feels like a living city, full of hidden mysteries to explore. I played a rogue, and not only did the author make the shopworn rats-in-the-cellar quest interesting, he used it to immerse me in the story and the environment. I really did feel like I was starting as a lowly gutter-rat who, through the twists of fate, rises to the level of hero… Little details, such as town criers shouting the news in the street, or the run-down appearance of the chapel in the slums, really give the module flavor and make it come alive. The NPCs, while not astounding, do have personality, the story is interesting, the author makes good use of custom tilesets and other content to give the module a fresh appearance, and the combat is very challenging.” Razide0506 (voted 9) New Module for NWN2 Against the Cult of the Reptile God. Terror by night! The village of Orlane is dying. Once a small and thriving community, Orlane has become a maze of locked doors and frightened faces. Strangers are shunned, trade has withered. Rumours flourish, growing wilder with each retelling. Terrified peasants flee their homes, abandoning their farms with no explanation. Others simply disappear… No-one seems to know the cause of the decay – why are there no clues? Who skulks through the twisted shadows of the night? Who or what is behind the doom that has overtaken the village? It will take a brave and skillful band of adventurers to solve the dark riddle of Orlane! This module is a remake of the classic 1982 TSR Dungeons & Dragons module by Douglas Niles, for a party of characters level 1-3, ideally new first level adventurers. The odd bit here & there is different due to the limitations of the toolset (& the builder), but on the whole I’ve tried to keep the feel of the original. The adventure is designed for Single or Multi-players, and help is available in the starting town if any is needed to add skills to the party. Depending on your level, experience & play style, you may need more or less of them to help you on your way. Please be aware though, Brother Gareth gets a little excited sometimes & forgets to equip his maul in his enthusiasm to get smiting. I’ve talked to him many times about this, but he’s just too ‘enthusiastic’ for his own good sometimes. So if you notice in any given encounter that he’s waded in bare handed, just give him a nudge & equip his weapon for him – thanks http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=NWN2ModulesEnglish.Detail&id=475
