Zelknolf is now Tech Staff Head: NWN1 tech

AcadiusLost · Post by **AcadiusLost** » Sun Sep 28, 2008 2:58 pm

As the subject line states.

Zelknolf has done a great job getting ALFA adapted over to the 1.69 patch, and providing continuing technically support in the NWN1 arena. I apologize for the delay in formalizing this position, been pretty busy of late.

I believe Zelknolf has a number of improvements on the menu for our NWN1 servers, so hopefully this will help facilitate such work. It is my hope that, with good communication and consensus between NWN1 staff head and our NWN1 HDMs, we can see a number of long-awaited improvements make their way out into the Live servers soon.

Thanks again to Zelknolf for all the hard work.

Are we really that desperate? I had no idea...

Gratz, Z. Now go get some of those ambitious plans of yours on track!

Gratz ...

so lets say I closed an area I was working on...during the save area step... it had some kind of access violation (too quick for me to see where) and the toolset had to be shutdown via the "we had an error, would you like to send a report" BS.

When I finally got the area open again, I assume everything is okay...just that nothing I had done for the last 20 mins was gone ...

I delete a couple placeables thinking maybe I had too many in the area...

and log in via DM client to the new lesser placeable area ... it hangs up on the load screen (just like if the haks were messed up) all other areas in the base mod are fine ...

I go delete a TON of placeables saving a non-placeable genocide version of the area ....

log in and get past load screen in 3-5 secs ... locks up

now it always locks up either at the end of the load screen or a couple secs after loading is complete...

Where should I be looking for a fix...

The area has had a build...nothing in there ... I was only messing with placeables ... so I don't "think" its a tile conflict ...

You know you're needed when someone spends half a word congratulating you and two dozen lines putting you to work...

That's a step above the norm. It's usually just the work.

Congrats, Zelk! Congrats, ALFA, too.

feel the love !!

oh and,

get back to work !!

Thanks for the help *crosses fingers* I hope it works and I don't have to start over, this will certainly teach me to make a "back-up" at least once in a while.

Raise / lower fixed it, I guess I just needed to mess with more tiles than I tried the first time...

A step in the right direction. Zelk rocks.

Sweet deal nolf! Now you get to use the corporate jet!

Congrats, and sincere thanks for continuing to shoulder so much of the technical burden it takes to enjoy our nerdly past-time.

Belated Congrats.

Do we have a current 1.69 plus up to date AHP ALFA Basemod somewhere?

Would love to make a few areas for ALFA1 again but worried 2 year old stuff in my mod folder is sooo out of date it would be easier begining with a clean new start...

Thanks

There is a basemod on version 1.69 on the DM ftp. I wouldn't reccomend building with an older basemod.

Damart · Post by **Damart** » Wed Oct 22, 2008 4:54 pm

Thanks for that...

not that i have access to DM FTP any more

I've just moved a copy of the NWN1 1.69 basemod Zelknolf put up (hope I got the right one, and thanks to Zelknolf for the upload) onto the "public" FTP server.

should be downloadable with "save as" on this link:
