Topic: Scripts?
Replies: 3
Views: 771

As a player, you won't literally see any scripts. The designers of the game and the particular module (e.g. Neversummer) create the appearance of the world, along with how the world behaves. This behavior is controlled primarily through scripting. As a player, your actions will cause certain scripts...

It was not just about numbers. The characters themselves were bugged. My lvl 3 sorcerer, for example, couldn't cast any spells (all my spells disappeared from the spellbook). There were also some item bugs (faction equipment disappearing). Sure they could have fixed each character individually, but ...

My sorcerer lost all of its spells. I didn't make a server transition, though. It happened after reaching master exterminator (AO faction). I made my first acid bomb and tried it out. A little bit later I tried to cast a spell and it said I didn't have any more uses for that spell. I checked my spel...

Stuck in -Loading Neversummer-

Due to a poorly timed server crash I ended up stuck in the -Loading Neversummer- area. Whenever I joined a server I would get the normal dialog box and then end up in a small dark grassy area. Every so often I'd see players show up and disappear a short time later, so I'm sure it is where the server...

For the first few seconds it might be unfair, but I imagine that's the only way to make the AI react to your character's skill. In PvP you'd pick up on your opponents talents quickly by seeing what happens when you attack them. This is basically a scripted way of doing that.

To get epic spells you must be an epic caster (not just an epic character). Your character is epic if your level is greater than 20. You become an epic caster once you become epic in a spellcasting class.

There are also the faction alliances and neutral factions to consider. You can work together with people who are friendly to you. You may also be able to party with people who have been outcasted from hostile factions. I'm not sure what the effects of this are, but it should be possible for this to ...

From an RPing standpoint, having all RDD characters in a single faction makes sense. Having them live in the territory of the dragons makes a lot of sense. I imagine this would help decrease the power gaming nature of RDD characters. Similarly, encouraging the dwarves to band together adds consisten...

How do you propose taking a minimum of six levels in a class? If I am a level 10 sorcerer and I want to start taking RDD levels, it's going to take a while before I meet the minimum. Sure, you could block leveling in anything else until it's up to 6, but that doesn't seem right. It would make sense ...

New build

Those are the same four servers that have been up all weekend (and maybe longer, but that's when I first checked them since the forums changed). However, sometime today they switched from build 38i to build 39. Hopefully this means they fixed whatever issue they were having when they first brought t...

i'm wondering if there is a way to try and steal items? It sounds like walking out of the store with an unpurchased item is a shortcut for returning it to the box where you got it from. The new system is try before you buy, so you're allowed to use weapons in the store without purchasing them (ther...

HotU PrC

The faction info has prestige classes from HotU. For example Ancient Ones has RDD as the Unique Prestige Class. I would assume that means we can use them.
