Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

My impression of the BG docks has always been that they were impressive, for all the Gondian innovation and because of the focus on sea trade early on. My only request is to make sure that translates into the docks. It is hard to tell based on the screens but they looks smaller?

And The Wide, it too has always been described as large and bustling. We should ensure it is the biggest/busiest on the server.

Here is the module (just the 4 areas I am working on) for anyone to have a run around in. I'm fairly sure I put down the starter spawn point, but if it doesn't load, open one of the areas in the toolset and throw down a starter spawn point anywhere (red icon up top).
Feedback appreciated. Keep in mind, it is still very scarce. No wandering NPC's, no boundaries )so you can run through pretty much anything) and still missing sounds, lights and VFX's. Also no eastern farmlands, as my old version of that is lost. I'll have to do another. Anyway, it gives you all an idea of where I'm heading in the building process... changes to be done now, if ever.

Positive AND negative feedback welcomed

edit: I will already be removing the green rows of trees in the docks district, so that one is TBD (to be done).

So from what I understand, outdoor maps require a lot more of the servers resources, is there anyway we could do a city remake in such a fashion as to free up server resources to be used for future expansions to other area's?

It depends on whether you have GoG or Steam I think. If you put it into your program files folders and it didn't work, try putting it into your mydocs/nwn2/module folder instead. Then boot up the game and go to "new module" or whatever. Should be in the list.

It doesnt look like there is a MOD file. I am probably clueless, too.

It's a directory file not a mod, goes in the same place though. Can't you enter the module in game?

I have the GOG version, have tried putting the folder in both NWN2 module folders(in my documents, and in GOG), running the GOG NWN2 shortcut, and after firing up the game nothing comes up in the new game/module selection, except that old uninvited guests one(comes with the game). I've tried putting the folder in campaigns as well, no dice. I'll keep fiddling around.

Hmm that is odd. I've got the steam version, so I'm not sure. It should be working though if you just put the folder in your mydocs/nwn2/modules folder.
Also refer to the post above about putting down a starting location. Perhaps if it is missing one, the module doesn't show in game...

Give me 10 minutes, I'll put down a start location and reupload a working version, because I just remembered the toolset doesn't come with the game by default anymore... be right back. (it was missing the spawn point)

Sorry everyone!!

Thanks to Snarfy for pointing out, but it turned out that the previous uploaded file was corrupted. Good ol neverwinter nights 2 toolset hehe.

Anyway, new link now and I've tested it (mod files this time). Put it in your mydocs/nwn2/modules folder and you're good to go.

Bring on that feedback!

Works like a charm! I'm in the module now, snooping around

I'm having trouble opening the new module in the editor. Is there something wrong with my toolset?

Wow, tfunke... this is amazing!

Favorite things so far, in this order:

- The East gate and Docks waterfront... so damned cool!
- The entire layout is SOOOOO much closer to the original game than our existing one.
- It's WAY more wide open, and what little clutter there is, is totally manageable.
- The locations of the existing buildings/temples/shops are spot on, in relation to the original game.
- The inclusion of certain taverns and buildings from the original game, that aren't on our PW.
- The Docks are still quite dodgy/seedy looking(might need a bit more grime/less lamps in certain spots).
- Bye bye, farmlands! Hello incorporation into the East Gate, and a direct route to the GY.

As for dislikes... so far, none! There's obviously some work to be done with some of the missing structures, doors, and walkmesh(you can walk right through certain buildings), but, all in all, I really enjoy this rendition.

The download works, but isn't being recognized as a RAR file (for my unarchive programs).
