That seems likely, I know it had me put files all over the place (I made its own my documents neverwinter nights 2 folder for it to not mess up other stuff)

The writing scroll has got a bit of an update.

Also, lesson learned, putting a UIFrame before the UIText that it bounds can cause strange things to happen. I actually read this twice in different sources and still failed to pay heed. :banghead:

And the news reader is underway. Having to try some slightly complicated stuff with UIListBox to achieve the desired result, not quite there yet. Also got a small issue with date conversion as you can tell if you look at the date.

And if i ever waste 2 hours again trying to find a bug when i've done an == instead of an = for an assignment, ill cry.

Make a checklist for yourself that has first line as "Did you use == instead of =?" ;)

For those who are following this thread, just to let you know, the SIGIS functionality and related stuff is more of less complete (pending a final test). Still needs some work admin side to handle the DB stuff.

This means ill be moving onto the next one, a break from GUI stuff (after that will be in the in-game game).

So, areas people, interior areas!

I see Ravel is giving it a try. Don't be shy, step up and see what you can contribute!

It doesn't have to be anything special. It could be a run down hovel for the poor. A merchant's shop. Anything that will make a good interior for RP.

Of course, just run your ideas past me first before spending effort.

Just a few "rules" (that may be broken if really warranted).

1) Each "house" is a single area. Multiple floors, split over a larger area.
2) Don't go crazy with lights or placeables, keep it simple.
3) No NPCs. These areas are for players to RP in.
4) Ideally nothing that duplicates what we already have acessible to players (ie: No library (cf. Hall of Records), no houses similar to what we already have, etc).

Also, if you are an EM or DM and have seen a good interior which already exist as an event area, let me know, we could consider opening it up to players as part of the new RP areas.

I'm trying to make Harbinger House. Whether it'll be good enough to use in Sigil I have no idea, but it's good practice :)

Excellent, although that will need NPCs and stuff, but we can advise you on how to do that so it works with out system (quick version - don't place NPCs in areas directly. Place waypoints and we spawn NPCs through script) - don't worry about that though for the moment.

But anyway, that will have to be a separate submssion, as if its good enough, i think we would definitely like that to be placed in some sort of canonical location.

That would be "nobody knows" ;) Harbringer House isn't a place you can find your way easily to. Obviously the guards (referring to the guards of Harbringer House rather than Harmonium) and the likes would know, but for general public it'd be merely rumors and speculation, possibly fake maps and guides for Knight of the Post business.

Ah, in that case, a non-canon-canon location :lol:

For the in-game game, i need to create some cards. So i decided to try my hands at GIMP. It was tricky learning how to use it.... image manipulation programs sure as hell aren't MS Paint!

But i'm quite happy with the result for a first try. Here is the Card for Mt Celestia. Its 120x180. Not sure if i can make much larger, as the "board" will be a max of 1024x768 so as to not screw over anyone still on that resoltion, and as i recall from reading about NWN2 GUI stuff, the GUI has some weirdness if you go over this value.

So here it is...

2nd Place: Two winners - Mr_Otyugh and Er_Nano_Infame for their suggestions about gambling functionality. I see this like one of the user placeables (a very cheap one) that can that can be clicked on to progress the game. If anyone knows of any canon planar dice or card games it may be worth seeing if its implementable.

Oh right, had forgotten to post into this one... had my thoughts in london back then :P

Three Dragon Ante is official DnD IC card game. Might not be the easiest to implement by any means. Really I could write down copy paste of the rulebook... or just link already existing pdf like a lazy bugger! http://www.wizards.com/dnd/files/3DA_Emper...it_Rulebook.pdf

You can determine how feasible it is, and if you want more I can write down the details of the 70 cards I actually have :P but I'm pretty confident it would be a nightmare to make.
