This is a compilation of the old system into a single score. There were 4 that made this score of 9.50 then rounded to 10.

Thanks, OTG.

The electrical trap I used on the portcullis was a
modified NWN scropt that came with the game. The
description of the script looked like it would deliver a
minor shock damage to the PC, but NWN's version of a minor
shock damage is 8d6 of damage to three players! Ouch! I
modified the script so that only the person touching the
gate would be shocked and for only 1d6 of damage. Since
it's not an original script, I didn't feel it was right
offering it up for downloads.

I had started to convert Palace over, but the conversion
is rough going and there hasn't been a lot of reception to
the converted PnP modules. So, I've given up on that and
am working on original content.

Thanks for the positive note.

Nice script. Loved the demo. I plan on using this in one
of my modules. I also love the shock trap set up on the
door. Do you have a script for that, too?

BTW: I remember playing through the Palace of the Silver
Princess module way back when. Are you planning to
complete the module and post it here?

Thanks.

I just learned today that the test module that I had
included with this file was created with a hakpak in
place. Anyone downloading and running the test module
would probably get a hak error (unless it was one they had
installed on their system). This hak is not needed to run
the test, so I've recompiled the module without the hack
and resubmitted it here. Anyone else downloading the file
from here on out should not have any trouble.

This is the first time I've ever posted one of my
scripts. If I have left something out or if you have any
helpful hints or constructive criticism, please let me
know. Thnaks.
