 Shining South News: Putting in some work
Shining South News

After a long time of not working on the Shining South, I have come back to it. My time is limited so things will be progressing slowly and I have had to take down the server do to it being attacked. I have a test server up on my private network and thing are working again but I may not be able to salvage the existing character files. There were only a few with any time spent on them and I have the database with its information. We will see how things go with this.

 Server Updates: Hot Fix for 1.23
East Rift Server Updates

The server has been updated to use the Hot Fix for patch 1.23. You will need to update to this in order to connect. This can be done by using the Updater in NWN2. The best part of the Hot Fix is that it removes the need to have your CD/DVD in the drive to play!

 Server Updates: East Rift Open to Public
East Rift Server Updates
I have taken the password off of the server and welcome anyone to have a look around. The content is still sparse, but things are progressing. The Overland map is coming along and once this is a bit further more content should flow. I want to use the overland map as the backbone and branch the content off of it. Please feel free to leave me any feedback you like in the forums.

 Server Updates: 4E Forgotten Realms Deities Added
East Rift Server Updates
I have added all the Deities that are present in the 4E of the Forgotten Realms. They are available at character creation, all 79 of them. Selection is limited by race, class, and alignment and most of them will have limited in-game content. The variety is great for roleplaying and try something different.

 Shining South News: Shining South will be using 4th Edition Setting
Shining South News

We have decided to use the 4th Edition setting for The Shining South. Although very familiar with the 3rd Edtion setting, the latest one looks interesting and should be fun to use. This will present some challenges since NWN2 is set in 3e and much of the defaults are specific to it. We are not going to try and use the rule-set of 4e as that would be too much work an probably not doable. Patch 1.23 has allowed us to do this more easily with the autodownloding of content. Custom files and hak will get distributed automatically and should make for a much better play experience.

We are going to focus primarily on the setting and not the mechanics of 4e. This would include the geography and locations, lore and historical events, deities, and organizations. We may at some point tackle the spells and magic in general as it is in 4e, but we want there to be plenty of content first. Some features that we currently have on our server:
- Using patch 1.23(beta) with the autodownloader fully functional.
- Database driven spawn and loot systems.
- Database tracked quests.
- Tracking item and creature information include what loot creatures drop, who first killed a creature, etc.
- Overland map is under development and is partially accessable.

Stop by and have a look around our server, to do this register on this site and go to the Beta Forums in our forums section. In there you will find information on what you need to get going.
