Description
** Update: to avoid conflicts I changed the Module Description to "Multiplayer" only **
This is the NightDevils Clan Module (semi-uber) I worked on for more then one year now.
Most of the scripts and areas are made by me (MacGeneral), but some were made by other people (and sometimes modified by me)... it has over 25 areas, mainly chillout ones but as well as PVP (was the main purpose of this mod ;))
you need the following HAK Packs to open and edit this module:
JenX 2.3*: http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=hakpaks.Detail&id=4463
CEP 1.52: http://nwvault.ign.com/?dir=cep/downloads
The module requires NWN and some areas require Hordes of the Underdark or Shadows of the Undrentide.
To ensure that the 2das work correctly you need to replace the cep2da.hak in your hak folder (make a backup of the old one first!!) with the one delivered with this module (I only removed 2x 2das there so they don't override the overrides ones).
To access all contents of this module you may add your login and / or cd key to the following scripts:
mod_load
dm_list
members_list
and maybe as well some of the kq_... scripts.
You should recompile all scripts with the module build option after you made changes to ensure that they applied to all scripts.
Thanks go out to:
Areas:
- Azazel: for creating Dark Wishes and the NightDevils Council
- Rayna: for creating Raynas Place, Raynas Garden and Sunset
Scripts:
- Ded: for his awesome goodies
- Summit: for teaching me some things and showing me examples back when I was a scripting noob ;)
- Butcha: for some scripts I got by him off the vault and ideas I got from his scripts
- Rage: for his support in MSN and for helping me debugging scripts etc
- Gwydion: he gave me examples of scripts and explained them to me when I couldn't script at all
I want to thank all people who helped me fixing bugs, testing new scripts, giving me ideas and hints etc.
at this place I got to mention
Rei: for many ideas and hints for areas and scripts - helped me improving it a lot
Rayna, Azazel, Kestral: for giving me ideas for areas and scripts
Scar & Rage: for helping me trying new scripts, debugging and testing
At this point I got admit that this module still isn't completely finished, but I got no more Windows PC and therefore no more Toolset to finish this mod. Some scripts might be bugged still and only 1/4 of the statues in the Hall of Fame got a bio (only the females ^-^).
Anyways I hope you enjoy this module and its Scripts, Areas, NPCs, Items etc:
feel free to modify them for your needs and redistribute them, but please always give me some credits / leave the green comment lines in there ;)
Some scripts are older (maybe as well buggier) and some are newer - since I got no more Toolset my help on fixing / customizing scripts is limited but for all of you who need some help or just want to ask me something: here's my MSN: macgeneral at macgeneral.de, Yahoo: m_a_c_g_e_n_e_r_a_l, ICQ: 112215919 and AIM: mgtmacgeneral at mac.com.
feel free to contact me,
sincerely MacGeneral, former, leader and module builder of the NightDevils which have fallen apart since I quit being in NWN.

*= for all you Mac & Linux Users out there - download the JenX23.exe and drag & drop it on StuffIt Expander or any other archive program - it should be able to extract the JenX2.hak out of the .exe.

And sorry, one last thing I thought I should mention, and stab me for not including it into the vote... The skyboxes are absolutely beautiful. I often enjoy zooming the camera so that I play my character almost first person to see the wonderful effects that a builder and the Aurora Toolset are capable of making. My, how I am looking forward to Neverwinter Nights 2!! _________________________ "Smoking. It's religious. Something about seeing your breath, breathing fire, feeling like a dragon or sinatra.

By the way, if you are ever keen on updating the module, the new SetName() script included in patch 1.67 is very useful, and much easier to use rather then a dm_list/member_list script. It's just a thought however, and something for you to bear in mind. :) _________________________ "Smoking. It's religious.

Nice job MacGeneral! A beautifully crafted module with an amazing interior and exterior design. The scripts are especially unique and advanced for players to enjoy. Well polished and uploaded completed for people ready to play on it make it excellent for multiplayer. I especially love the Shisha bar area! Reminds me of those days in Tunisia. :P In all, the module is superbly made in tune for multiplayer local vault interest. The only down-fall I would say, is that the JenX haks get in the way of connecting to the module, as most localvault uber/semi-uber players cannot be bothered download haks while browsing around GameSpy for servers to log into. _________________________ "Smoking.

Lol, you guys play to much on RP / Story/ w/e servers. This is a module too, but its a PVP only module, so quests/henchmen/other story contents are not really needed, cuz its PVP, dunno whats up in your guys heads. Its not so hard to understand, its a Semi PVP Only module.

Too stupid to read? I changed the description to Multiplayer already on July 29th after too many ppl complained and I only had it as Single Player coz the scripts work there as well + I see this mod more as an MDK (Module Development Kit) coz it has all you need and its up to anyone to modify it and add their own content. _________________________ cu MacGeneral

Couldn't agree with you more Calvijn! Lots of noobs on the vault giving away 10's so freely! Where's the single player aspect of this module? If all of you givers of ten think I, as a player, should be reviewing the scripts, you've got another thing coming! Maybe if the author puts this under scripts, I'd review them. As a module, one that is said to support single player, offers nothing to the player, what's left to vote on? Upload it as a module, then make it a module. Pretty looking areas with a good mind for scripting does not make a module, nor does it make a 10. My vote reflects this.
Posted by Demoniac-Dante at on07/31/06
Hell yes, i vote 10 too. That's because I understand something about scripting, and i've played pvp since the game came out. Mac's module was one, if not the, greatest i've seen so far. The module has been voted 10 because we all liked and played it lots of times. Who votes 1 and says "this is not about builds at all; this is simply about uber gear." doesnt show much intelligence, and it's much alike to those i call noobs

LOL, it's simple - you either love PvPing... or you hate it LOL! _________________________ Steve's Characters - please don't forget to vote on them if you play them. Thanks, Steve

Single player; sure, tons of areas and scripts, but nothing to do; if I were rating scripts, I'd give more, but as a module, it leaves much to be desired.
Posted by Calvijn at on07/25/06
lol, alot of noobs around here on the vault. SITE ADMINS / MODS => KICK THEM OUT!!! lmfao @armin Whats your problem? If you dont like that mod, dont like the scripts, dont like PVP, then wtf have you lost in this category? Its a PVP module, which dont need any henchmen,dialogues,creatures,..... its PVP ONLY?!?! You should think about that. And its easy to create dialogues, sensless laggy 16x16 areas withouth any real thinking npc in it. without any other content. Its easy to create sensless lv40 noob creatures. Its easy to create lil scripts with Liliac Soul Script Wizard. But thats not our world. Our world is to build detail full areas with a symetric style. We look for lag reducing, we make our own scripts/dialogues without any wizards (Liliac NWN own Dialogue Editor). We make our own script packages and we dont have to use others stuff to create or add something. And in this module you can find alot of really good scripts, many good areas with awesome effects. And thats a vote of 10.0 worth. And btw. i hopped in almost 25 mods in the last 3 days and i saw a lot of the scripts, area ideas from this mod in them. So it looks that this module is very good or the other hosters would not use that stuff. So please do me and the others here a favour and leave this modules page. Go to your favourite nwn category and post there something or donwload there something, but dont post anything in here. And again: ITS A SEMI-UBER PVP ONLY MODULE, not RP, not LEGIT, not story,... Its a hardcore PVP module with many good areas, awesome effects, awesome camera scenes, alot of scripts, a good dm sytem, many filters for crashers/propertys/..., alot of custom creatures,.... its the 10.0 worth for a PVP module, look in the category/ the descriptions. Its PVP not any other category, that means Multiplayer and its Semi-Uber (well you can change a few scripts and creatures to change it to legit or uber) and Armin leave this section of the vault
