WarZone is basically a Capture the Flag module which you can change and customize to your liking. There are two teams, Hamptonshire and Arcavia, which battle against each other to steal the other team's Artifact (a Baronial Seal, in the default module). Once a player has the enemy's artifact, they return to their base, and ring the Victory Gong to notify the generals of the capture. Points are awarded at that point. The first team to score 3 points is deemed the victor of the battle. Once a match is over, a new land is selected to battle in, and everyone is returned to their staging area to re-equip themselves.
The default module comes with Entry Area (where the player can select the side they wish to fight for), a staging area for each team, and five battlegrounds. Also included is a small demo area, complete with all the necessary objects to make a battle ground.
Since this is a basic module, and is designed to be modified, you can use any HAK packs you wish, change the team names in the scripts and conversations, etc. The meat of the game is coded and should not need changing.
This module also includes ties to a Database, using NWNX2. These functions will allow you to track character stats, number of kills, deaths, artifact captures and artifact returns. There is also a table which can be used in server-side web pages (ASP or PHP) to show web users who is online. Using the "row_inc_persist" script, you can easily add and retrieve data from the database. By default, the Database functions of this module have been turned off. But, the database is included should you wish to use them.
The game is self-regulating, in that it tracks number of players and player levels on each team. If one team has too many levels compared to the opposing team, any new members trying to enter the warzone area on the side of the team that has the advantage, they will not be allowed in. Only when more people join the team at a disadvantage or when people leave the team with the advantage, will people be allowed to join the advantaged team.
