Skills like "Rapid Shot" persistent...

...because now they need to be turned on every time. It's really annying when bow-based char has to move in combat more than few meters. On the other servers you just turn them off/on whenever you like, they do not turn off automatically.

I wasn't aware we did anything that changed that.  vincent, you have any idea what could be causing that?

[allatum]

Fairly sure it's kind of standard in NWN1. It happens with power attack, expertise, defensive casting, et al. It works differently in NWN2 though.

[Valimar Dragonbane]

If I recall correctly, all three of those allatum mentioned disengage when you move.  I know I've seen it happen with Expertise for sure.  Power Attack and Defensive Casting I haven't done much with here.

[thorien]

Oh, I know it's standard in NWN1, that's why topic is in suggestions instead of bugs.

TL;DR version :

--Blackboxed Combat Engine
--NWNX is super finicky and laggy and whatever generally not worth it
--Entire server would have to be rescripted to be compatible with new combat "codes" since it wasn't built around it like other servers were.

Well, you can change the scripts The NPCs and so on will still continue to function normally!

Read as: "I volunteer myself as tribute!"

You hear that, Vincent? He just volunteered to rescript the entire server.

[Atomic Twinkie]

I did not Though I could certainly get you help in what to change!

[Vincent07]

Yeah, this is default behaviour.   While there are some NWNX things I'd like to do... that we never built around them to begin with is the problem.  I'd have to rescript a LOT to put it in.  I'm not sure at this juncture that it's worth the time investment.   I'm not against looking into it though, especially if I could find some decent documentation on the subject.

[thorien]

You could always talk with scripter of Sinfar, they have it there.

[Vincent07]

It's not just a scripting matter though.  You have to implement the NWNX engine, which to my knowledge means inserting it into most of the key scripts in the module.  Think of it this way, NWNX is in many cases altering core functions of the game engine, and to do that it must invade the majority of the game's scripts like a parasite.  This is not a quick or simple process.

I'm guessing he'll throw in the yiff and the BDSM free of charge?

This is how it is normally in NWN1. If other servers have it different they worked it out via scripting or a hak of some sort.

I guess it's a professional risk.
