"Olander's Realistic System is No Longer Available or Supported.
Hopefully someone else will take up the Realistic/HCR Systems Torch."
And with that Don Anderson aka Olander shut down his page and removed his files.
The system is good and well documented and would be a shame for it to be lost.
All bugcrusing in the thread also got lost so lets start over here.

I do not script, dont ask for support to me. Post here and lets see what we can do.

Anyone testing this with Wyvern Crown haks?

Guess a large portion of the remaining community will buy and use these.
Please mail me and I'll upload any cool new version you might have scripted!

Coolty and RD, can you guys post what sort of issues you found with which subsystems and to what degree we should be worrying? I don't want my mod to implode all of a sudden, heh. Thanks for any info.

@RapidDeployment How good is the White Wolf release of Smetze? I mean for a non-scripter a functioning release of the ORS is easy enough to edit and fiddle around with. In-depth scriptwise, is it better? Why are you blown away? ;) _________________________ - Endoora - The Glory and Freedom Chronicles A Neverwinter Nights Persistent World Project ***** Development resumed as of 2009-JUN.

Anyone know how to set up opw_ctf_ ? I just found these whilst attempting to solve this faction persistency issue... looks kinda interesting _________________________ I am 9fires.In Hell I burn in flames. So cold inside the fires heals the pain.

With just a quick glance - the os_ system does indeed take in consideration the faction when selecting a target. So if you edit out the AlignPC function from your version of ors, it will indeed break the os_ system. Prior to Olander leaving, he posted a series of updates in an attempt to fix everything that was broken. This page here only gives the one. I will post the other two and see if I can't fix the factions. However I can't really give a time frame on this - I got my own project to work on, but far be it from me to leave y'all hanging. So I'll get something out asap. _________________________ I am 9fires.In Hell I burn in flames. So cold inside the fires heals the pain.

@fessuy - let me look- I don't employ the siege equipment, beyond the siege keg- (I like explosions) - I found the whole system to be such a resource hog- Thats why I squarshed mine in the first place. But I assume that the engines themselves look at each other and determine who is gonna attack what by thier Faction, which is set by AlignPC command. So with that said I'm guessing the factions are required. I believe the whole reason for the factions in the first place was to make the placeable objkects attack one and other. This code maybe rewriteable to look at the PCU instead of the faction and made to consider anything that doesn't belong to Player X to be the enemy. I'll have to look - :) _________________________ I am 9fires.In Hell I burn in flames. So cold inside the fires heals the pain.

You Said they where not needed... Will the Siege Equipment Work without them. If so maybe I cut that out too... Thanks for the Info, I am glad you know what you are doing and like the ORs enough to help it fix it :)

@redcobra- Sorry for the double post here, but it just occured to me - Open the script editer and click 'Find in Files' -> type in "OAI_FACTION" and/or 'FACTION' those are the values used to define who is what :) Good luck. _________________________ I am 9fires.In Hell I burn in flames.

@Red Cobra- actually dude, I never liked that particular component of ors, so I editted it out. Its not really nessecary. As for making it persistent - well, my version of ors is prolly a lot different than your so I'd have to scope around to see, but it is prolly handled in opw_mod_onenter or somewhere there abouts. Just because Olander believed something to be all important never entered my way of thinking and I've either A. rewritten the stuff I didn't like or B. cut it out root and stem. @Coolty3000 - Olander left after he embarassed himself after trumpeting ors v3 a little too loudly and released a product that was utterly buggered. After a weekend spent with me, to hammer out the bugs and a rather ungrateful flame on the forums (directed at me), Olander packed up and left. :) _________________________ I am 9fires.In Hell I burn in flames.
