This works both when your door automatically closes/locks, and when a player opens/closes/locks/unlocks your door. Nb. this is only one way, to have two asymmetric doors lock/close/open/unlock each other you have to setup AUTO_CLOSE_DESTINATION_DOOR on both.

CD Module 4.09c2-Hotfix 1

Inventory Sizes and You!
Characters with an excessive amount of items in their inventory can cause a multitude of server scripts to error, as well as potentially becoming a source for undue lag on the server. We are now enforcing a soft cap of 1400 items in player inventories, and a further hard cap of 1600 items.

At 1400 items you will receive a message in-game in your combat log and next to your portrait that you are carrying too many items.

If you continue to collect items, you will eventually become be restricted from looting or buying items and will be required to reduce your inventory size before you can loot or buy items again. If you accidentally drop or sell an item whilst restricted, you'll be able to loot or buy it back.

If you happen to cross over the 1400 item threshold whilst dungeoning or through normal play, that's okay! Just remember to sell/reduce your loot/excess items before you log off.

Individual item stacks such as arrows, potions, scrolls, etc only count as 1 item.

For reference: A inventory can hold 360 1x1 items; so to exceed 1400 items would require you to fill many bags to the brim with more 1x1 items. On the staff team we have multiple player merchants, faction quartermasters, etc who're holding very large inventories of gear and roleplay items and even we don't come close to this limit. This change will only affect a very small percent of outlying characters.

Areas
  • Fixed some locked dungeon boss chests in T5 dungeons automatically relocking too quickly. These chests will now relock with the dungeon's respawn encounter and door/trap reset timers.
Retired.

CD Module 4.09d1

Settings Menu



  • Various common settings such as /touchon, /diceprivate, /hidestatus, /questchat color, /hidehelm, /toggletail, rest animation; as well as your current server spawn and temple respawn bindpoints can now be accessed in the new /settings menu, which can also be accessed via your class radial menu, or from the crafting skills conversation.

    n.b. Until our hak update, when using the class radial menu action you'll then have to click on yourself to open the menu.

Scribing, Brewing, and Wand Crafting



  • Casting a spell on a blank scroll, bone wand, or magical potion bottle now opens a NUI menu for crafting:

    • You can now select how many items to craft (up to 100 at a time for scrolls and potions, 10 at a time for wands).

    • Calculated crafting costs are now shown before crafting.

    • Wand and potion appearances can be customized during crafting. Appearances are saved for each spell when crafted (ie. so a potion of haste will remember what your last crafted potion of haste looked like).


  • Blank scrolls and magical potion bottles now stack to 100 (nb. Until our hak update, if you split these stacks you'll have to drop and pick up the items again to combine them).

  • Spells up to innate level 6 can now be craft into wands, with exceptions for shadow double, shadow walk, and teleport spells which cannot be craft into wands.

  • Spells up to innate level 5 can now be brewed into potions, with exceptions for teleport spells which cannot be brewed.

  • Removed /togglescribing, /togglebrewing, and /togglewandcrafting.

  • Newly purchased Sheafs of Scrolls, Casks of Empty Potion Bottles, and Boxes of Unechanted Bone Wands now come with 100 items for unpacking. Sheafs and casks will unpack 10 at a time, boxes of wands will unpack 1 wand at a time.


Trap Crafting and Disassembling

  • Trapper's Toolkits are now sold by fences and a select few other NPCs in the module. These kits come with 20 charges, but may be recharged up to 50 charges by successfully disassemble Strong, Deadly, or Epic traps.

  • A Trapper's Toolkit is required for all trap crafting. Trap crafting can be accessed by either using the toolkit on yourself or on trap material components, or via the Crafting Skills radial menu. Attempting to craft a trap will consume 1 charge. Failing the Craft Trap DC has a 10% chance of consuming the trap's material components.

  • The Trapper's Toolkit can be used on a trap kit in your inventory to attempt to disassemble the trap, giving you between 40 to 100% of the disassembled trap's material components back. Attempting to disassemble a trap will always destroy the trap regardless of success or failure. Successfully disassembling a strong, deadly, or epic trap will recharge the trapper's toolkit 1 to 3 charges. Failing to disassemble a trap will consume 1 charge from the toolkit.

  • Epic fire, electrical, frost, and sonic traps can now be crafted. Other epic traps will be supported in a future hak update.

  • Fixed recovered epic traps being unidentified.


Item Writing/Editing System (Books, Scrolls, Letters, Paintings, Plushies & More)



  • The book/letter writing system has been replaced with a new bespoke system:

    • To write on an item, use a quill (or other appropriate tool for other editable items) on the item to open a NUI menu.

    • The appearance of many items can now be changed, depending on the type of editable item.

    • Items can be locked/unlocked so that only the person who locked it can edit it.

    • You can now copy the title, description and where applicable the appearance of other editable items.

    • Writing costs a variable amount of ink (or other cost unit for other editable item types) per character changed. By default, most editable items cost 1 ink (or other unit) per 20 characters.

    • Color tokens can now be used in editable items.

    • Languages can now be written inline in item descriptions that can only be read by someone capable of reading the language. (See below for more)

  • Maps and cards are now sold at all standard scribe stores.

  • Quills/books/letters/signet rings/ink wells/etc from the old system are no longer supported, and are not compatible with the new system.

  • Signet rings, seals, and packages have been removed for the time being.

  • Custom drinks are not yet included in the new system, but are planned for a future expansion for the editable item system.

  • Note that while some of these editable items such as the plushie sewing kit might be themed around "sewing" or "chiseling", this is predominately for a lack of better all-encompassing crafting type. If you wish to use the plushie sewing kit or stone chiseling tools to instead roleplay your character making another type of simple toy or figurine, such as a wood carved figurine, that's acceptable too as long as you're not going outside the bounds of creating simple non-magical toys/figurines.

    For all crafted items, anything magical or anything that might convey any sort of mechanical benefit requires applying for the item on the forums through the Roleplay Item Requests board.


Languages

  • Languages can now be used inline in creature, door, placeable, and item descriptions using [language:text]

    Two lines of text are written on this sign, the first line reads "[elven:I'm written in elven!]", and the second line reads "[draconic:and I'm written in draconic.]




Bindstones

  • The bindstone widget has been removed from all characters. Server restart spawn points are now set with /setspawn, or through the /settings menu.

  • Bindstone locations can now be added to player houses and faction areas, please read the Builders section of the changelog for details.

    Bindstones have been added to all existing player houses and factions, locked to the house or faction area's front door key.

    If a bindstone location was missed from your player home or faction area, please send a private message to Fire Wraith, Fox, Vincent, and Edge on the forums with a screenshot of the location you want a bindstone added, and the key tag for locking the bindstone. Please do not send us areas you have updated yourself for adding bindstones. We will do this for you.

Note that The Underdark is still a work in progress, and does not fully support the new character experience. You will need to visit the surface for most dungeons, questing, leveling, and shopping.

  • Bindstone locations are now created by placing a waypoint tagged `BINDSTONE_LOCATION` in the area. An optional var string `BINDSTONE_KEY_TAG` can be set on the waypoint to restrict use of the bindstone to characters possessing a key item with the given tag. An optional var int `BINDSTONE_REQUIRE_PATH` 1 may be set to require the PC to have a walkable path to the bindstone location to be able to bind it, in the case of an area being split into subareas with different houses in it.

  • Fixed `OVERRIDE_SPELL_DC` on AOE objects pulling the variable from the AOE object and not the caster.

CD Module Update v4.10a1

View changelog for CD4 Hak Update v4.00a1 here: forums.cormyrdalelands.com/index.php?msg=107121/thread

This changelog also includes any changes from the Hak Update that are player facing changes that affect races, feats, spells, etc.

Highlights

  • Added Tempest.

  • Characters whose exotic race template changed their racial type from their base race can now use racially restricted items of their base race, ie. a "Wood Elf Copper Half-Dragon" can use both elf and dragon items.

    Note that this only functions if your subrace field has been set correctly, which should always include both your base race and template name for all races whose base race isn't human.

    ie. "Sun Half-Elf Tiefling", "Shield Dwarf Aasimar", etc. If your subrace field is abbreviated or missing the character's base race you'll need to submit a LETO request to have your subrace corrected if you want to use racially restricted items. Human base races do not need a LETO request to add "Human" to your subrace.

  • Dodge AC on exotic race skins has been replaced by Natural Armor character feats, which gives untyped AC bonuses. This change is retroactive for all PCs.

  • Combat animations can be customized through /animations or /settings.

  • If your character has wings or is otherwise capable of flight, you can now use /fly and /land to use flying combat animations.

  • Combined Lingering Song and Extra Music into Empowered Music, with additional effects.

  • Fixed Divine Champion to accept ranged weapon focus feats for its class requirements.

  • Arcane and Divine Trickster now have their own sneak attack feat lines.

  • Barbarian Rage, Divine Might, and Divine Shield are now instant feats.

  • Barbarian Rage now removes the effects of taunt from the character and provides immunity to taunt for the duration of barbarian rage.

  • Use Magic Device's cost table has been rebalanced for our server's item values. T5 and T6 items will require higher UMD.

  • Appraise increases the max sale price of items to stores by 1,000 GP for every 5 base ranks.

  • Fixed many caster and metamagic feats not being available for selection on PRC caster levels.

  • Added all base race sub-variants to character generation.

  • Added more armor appearances for special armors (Adamantine, Mithral Fullplate, Elven Chain, etc)

  • All characters of all genders, races, and phenotypes can now wear cloaks and robes in any fighting or sitting style. Some robes or cloaks might not animate correctly.

  • Removed CaGUI. Players who still wish to use it can install it manually: neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/other/gui/cagui-transparent-gui

  • Added two-handed Longspear.

  • Dragonsong Lyrist and Harper class levels now add to bard song's uses per day.

  • Fixed Unyielding Defender's Defensive Stance to have 12 uses per day, and overhauled Defensive Stance's effects.

  • Item containers can now be renamed with /renamebag or by using the Edit Container radial menu. Some containers can have their appearance changed.

  • Enabled many previously disabled /animation commands, and added many more new commands.

  • Custom combat dummy presets can now be saved and loaded through the combat dummy conversation. Presets are account bound and shared across all of your characters.

  • Loot is now automatically identified by your lore skill when opening loot chests.

  • T5 and T6 loot item gold values have been increased. Coupled with the new Use Magic Device item value table introduced in the hak update, this change sets the majority of T5 items' UMD class emulation to DC 20, and T6 items to DC 25. This change is retroactive for all loot items.

  • The stealth skills penalty and dropping of invisibility and stealth mode when opening treasure has been removed. Instead, all nearby enemies will be given temporary true seeing and will be called to your location. Sanctuary will still be removed when looting.

CD Module v4.10a4

With this update we are considering work on our module's update to .35-40 complete and the v4.10a module branch stable. This update concludes our module's code freeze/feature lock that was established with v4.09d1 in April.

In short, we are now accepting area submissions and updates from players and from the server build team again.

As a reminder, before beginning work on any updates to your existing player areas you must first request the latest version of the area from the admins. All player areas were last updated by us in April with v4.09d1 which added bindstones to all player houses/taverns/inns/faction areas.

Fixes

  • Fixed NPCs not sitting in chairs. This fix required changing all chair tags in the module from PLC_Chair to PLC_CHAIR.

  • Fixed simple/limited creature models not using their appear/disappear animations when flying.

  • Fixed flight being executed too soon within the current AI Action, which could result in the AI Action being repeated (this often caused you to recast spells that had been cast immediately before flying).

  • Fixed area heartbeat damage not defaulting to 10 damage if a custom damage amount wasn't configured on the area.

  • Fixed special armor cast spell item properties not being useable on characters who didn't have Heavy Armor Proficiency feat.

  • Fixed special armors visually appearing as unequippable on characters who didn't have Heavy Armor Proficiency feat.


Areas

  • Fixed Emerald Enclave's faction area entrance not being locked until after the first person entered the area.

  • (Fire Wraith) Fixes made to Suzail - Estate Row and Royal Gardens and Suzail - Promenade and Royal Palace.


Animations

AI

  • Added experimental ground attack telegraphs being tested with Blink Strike.

  • Fixed Blink Strike stunning the creature when charging over sloped terrain.
