Description
Born into nobility, your adventurous spirit eventually leads you to the arenas of Waycross, an unlikely place for a Lady of the realm. Fame and fortune await in the midst of danger and treachery. Your success in the arena will soon be noticed by a mysterious, secret organization that has need of your talents, but your decision to assist takes you down dark paths.
WARNING: This module contains explicit sexual content. There are times when sexual encounters are played out and animated to their full extent, however, the player has the option to opt out of those situations based on decisions they make in the game. The module also contains full nudity and sexy, fantasy armor. If any of the above offends you then do not play this. This module is for adults only. Do not download or play this unless you are over the age of 18.
FEATURES:
- Custom and unique scripting, particularly in regards to arena contests featuring a no-kill system
- Your win-loss arena stats are recorded by the in-module statistician
- Extensive use of CEP creatures and content
- Nearly 90,000 words of dialogue
- Several possible ending romances
- Fully animated intimate encounters (Warning! Very little is left to the imagination.)
- Custom armor and clothing, some from the community and some of my own design
- You can play as Sierra Westhaven (found on the download page) or you can create your own character.
- Over ten months went into the development of this project.
CREDITS:
I'd like to give special thanks and recognition for the content below, which is not my own:
- The art of Luis Royo and Lorenzo Sperlonga (for Portraits)
- The creators of the Community Expansion Pack.
[Note that the above are included in the gladiatrix hakpak files for ease of setup. Only the CEP needs to be downloaded separately to play this module]
See the Gladiatrix_Readme.txt file for installation, gameplay requirements and tips to enhance your playing experience.
**SOME IMPORTANT PIECES OF ADVICE**
- Never escape out of a conversation
- Save often. Just don't save in the middle of a conversation
- Don't speed quickly through conversations. You could cause an important script to not trigger leaving you stuck in your area
- A fighter type build with a focus on strength is highly recommended. There are a lot of solo arena contests and you will need to build a character that can perform well in those. Two feats I highly recommend by level 4 is Weapon Focus and Weapon Specialization.
These are the weapons that will be available to select from in the upper arenas:
Longsword, Greatsword, Bastard Sword, Katana, dual-wield short swords, 2-bladed sword
I hope you enjoy the adventure!
Don't forget to play Gladiatrix II - In the Shadows of Darkness when you complete Gladiatrix.
You can play as the default character, Sierra Westhaven. Download sierrawesthaven.bic, place in your localvault folder and select her from the premade character screen at module start up.
Gladiatrix module version 1.6
Unzip and place gladiatrix.mod in your modules folder. If you downloaded a previous version make sure you see the 1.6 readme file in the zip to ensure you have the latest version.
@Steve. The game starts with all items removed from the character and she is given a few starting items. This is by design. You won't be able to bring items from another module. The character really has to start as a level 1, human female fighter. I've made a lot of custom armor and clothing that are restricted to females and don't have a male counterpart design. That could be your problem. Also, the sex animations will only work with a human female PC, so the game will probably break on those if you are using something else. I also think that starting with a level 40 character could be troublesome. There are encounters where you aren't supposed to be able to kill your opponent, but only damage them to a point. A level 40 will likely be killing everything with one swipe. Plus, that would be extremely boring and no sense of challenge. I really recommend trying the game as it is designed. A human female is a must. If you verify that the game is working properly as a level 1 female fighter then you can try hacking the module with a different level character if you must. You would have to do this at your own risk though. _________________________ Fame and fortune await in the midst of treachery and danger in this epic module: Gladiatrix The dark temptations of Nova's Cape threaten to cast a shadow over your soul: Gladiatrix II - In the Shadows of Darkness

Well, it is true that Mac system is still being updated so perhaps updated software is causing the conflict. I also wondered if being a level 40 man caused the problem as well: you CAN do this. At the start when it says the restrictions are required, start walking out the door for the first dialogue box and you can continue the game until this error with the clothes which seem to be female only? _________________________ Steve's Characters - please don't forget to vote on them if you play them.

The problem with neverwinter nights were causing by neverwinter, not the mod
Posted by lesommer at on03/13/13
I give a 10. I finished the mod using the character provided by the author using her roadmap for the leveling (warrior specialized in katana to be weapon master) I had bugs with neverwinter nights 1 on a powerful windows 7 64 machine (problems with saving mostly). I don't like the limited resting. I used to rest between fights. The power ring that I had in the last fight make thing easier. I like the npc, the thief shadow dancer, the bard, the ranger. They make me wanted to play such characters. I usualy play a sorcerers in this game. It is too bad that the ranger didn't summon his pet. The fights were well design. I had no problems with the npc except some hard fights where I had to reload. The fights in the inn and the pits were hards because I used a sword. It was easier in the coliseum where I used a shield and a katana. The walkthrought was very good. The author do a very good job desiging the clothes, the body of the npc and the sex scenes considering that neverwinter night 1 is an old game. I play the second part and wait for the third. I am sorry for the crash. Perhaps, the author will make a mod for neverwinter nights 2 who is better than neverwinter nigths 1.

@s_erno To extract the portraits go to NWN\Utils\nwhak.exe Open gladiatrix2.hak in your hak folder. Right-click all the files that begin with po_ and export. You can put these files in your portraits folder and they should be selectable as player portraits. _________________________ Fame and fortune await in the midst of treachery and danger in this epic module: Gladiatrix The dark temptations of Nova's Cape threaten to cast a shadow over your soul: Gladiatrix II - In the Shadows of Darkness

@Steve Does that happen every time? There is something going on that is local to your system because no one else has ever reported it. Possibly something in your override folder or conflicting hak files. There are clothes change scripts that are throughout the whole module and it would be impossible to remove them all without breaking the module. I'd be surprised if you aren't having problems with other modules as well. Here are my recommendations depending on how far you want to go to try and solve the problem from easiest to hardest. - Make sure you have the latest version of NWN 1.69 - Empty your override folder and put those files somewhere else. I'm leaning towards this being the problem. - Clear your hak directory of all files except for the Gladiatrix and CEP files. The readme has the list of hak files needed to play the module. - Re-download the Gladiatrix hak files and module - re-download the CEP files - Try the game on a PC or laptop. It works on ten year old systems and older systems are cheap. I hope this helps. _________________________ Fame and fortune await in the midst of treachery and danger in this epic module: Gladiatrix The dark temptations of Nova's Cape threaten to cast a shadow over your soul: Gladiatrix II - In the Shadows of Darkness

Fallen, maybe try removing the clothes scripts because not just clothes, EVERYTHING was removed from the inventory. _________________________ Steve's Characters - please don't forget to vote on them if you play them. Thanks, Steve

A really great mod, had lot's of fun with it. One thing I'd like to ask, is it somehow possible to get the pictures you were using for the characters extracted? They are really nice and it would be cool to use them with other characters.
