New player, need help.

[Kalle]

Hi there

Me and 2 friends that played many (10ish) years ago want to get back into NwN.

We just installed the game and downloaded the:

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=11116

After this we tested the IP from: www.nwnlist.com. (direct connect)
It did not work.
Then we tested: viewtopic.php?f=443&t=54992
It did not work.

The message we get is "timed out".

Could some one make a basic up to date "install and server connect guide"?
Any other tips would be appreciated

Thanks !

Try direct connecting to: game.bgtscc.net:5121

The server is currently Firewalled against much incoming traffic due to DDoS attacks we've been suffering as a community on and off for the last 2 years or so.

At the top of this forum page, click the prompt under the player counter, wait 5 mins, and then try to connect.

And have fun

Also, try direct connecting ONLY using "game.bgtscc.net".

Thanks for all the help. Got the game working and trying to figure out what class to play. (this is abit hard atm as i see from the forums there have been done alot of changes to the classes. Its alot to prosess . Sniffing around the forums "tips and tricks" atm for a build idea and thinking about "who i am/wish to be" ingame.

Tho i am wondering. Are there some addons i should download aswell?

I came over this site from the forums:

http://bgtscc.wikia.com/wiki/Getting_Started

Should i download these or are they allready downloaded in the "server update" pack?

Are there any other updates i should consider?

Im asking here since i feel the forums some times seems abit outdated in some places, but im not sure.

Thanks again for your help

Aside from the client extension, there shouldn't be anything you need to download.

Skywing is necessary if you want to put metamagic on your hot bar...It also helps with ultra wide resolutions.

Imagination is the best thing to download.

Oh and Dwarf is the best class, race, skill, feat, save, and prestige class.
