Wish I knew more about scripting NWN.

That happened to me and my husband. He carried around those dragon eggs for ages looking to find a time when the quest wasn't already done or out to someone else. We did manage it once but it took a lot of tries. I carried a bloody bit of someone around for ages til I could find a time when the quest (from skullport) wasn't done too. Ha, think I still have mushrooms for the cook, but he's never interested when I log on these days. And they're getting kinda slimy in my pack now... LOL!

Thing is, I'd like to experience the mod, not just run frantically through it looking for places that aren't littered with debris from previous fights and quests that aren't done yet. Not just for the xp, but for the fun of doing it, if that makes any sense! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Guess this is all on account of it being so popular, which is a GOOD thing, but it does take away from the fun for some of us, obviously. So if there IS a way to fix this or restart quests etc, that'd be great!

Can we reduce the 30 mins down to 10 as 30 mins isn't working at all - logged on this evening and wandered down to lvl 11 - each spawn point had 30+ remains packs there - was 3 ppl on and we all agrree to log off for 30 mins - unfortunately other ppl kept logging on every 10 mins or so as i was watching the server population on gamespy so the server never reseted and is still pretty unplayable :( -

logged back on now - and still no reset now 40+ bags per spawn point - module totally unplayable - 15secs to acknowledge move and then rubberbanding every step :(

I remember Psylence (forgot the proper spelling) mentioned a few times about clean-up scripts. Perhaps a few of those would be in order? That way the game is not trying to remember items left behind after five to ten minutes, and would be able to just spawn in new creatures the way it ought to be? Sure, that would make it a little more difficult for carpetbaggers like myself to make a profit from the leftovers of others (which is, of course, how I made my first one million gold), but it would definitely be beneficial to the server as a whole.

I have no idea how they are implimented, or the workings behind said scripts, but I know they are on many of the Persistent Worlds I have heard being successful. And as Escape From Undermountain is already a success, it cannot hurt to use clean-up scripts to make it even better. (At least it should become faster.)
