Adventure Island (original)

in Persistent Worlds & Multiplayer for NWN (not EE)
I still have my hall of fame top 10 persistent world module from back in my NWN nights days. I say "original" because I gave it up to the community and I think some people updated it and ran it for years longer. Im thinking about seeing how I could get it back up online. Any help you can give me would be cool, how does multiplayer work now? What about all the add ons I had in the mod from the community. I dont even remember their names but I think I used the 3 common ones. If someone can help me, Ill buy the game and get the mod back up.

    Can't be a whole lot of help, but I remember Adventure Island, I casually played there and It was pretty cool!

    For starters, you could always open it up in the toolset, and see what .hak resources the module requires ...
    As far as the 3 common ones, would the CEP be one of those? It's pretty common, as far as the resources go.

    yup, CEP for sure, I recognize that. Where would we find those to download now-a-days?

    And If the mod used a pre-cep 2 version, than here: https://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/hakpak/cep1-complete

    I had a great time on Adventure Island as did many others. Crafting system was a lot of fun. Would gladly buy the game just to hang out there again.

    I don't know If It's the same, but I saw an Adventure Island up 2 nights ago.

    I would be willing to host the server and update the module if needed. All I need is the mod.

    Hey Silverti . I saw another thread in the EE NWN forum asking about Adventure Island.
    Could I get a copy of the AA server please?
    I used to be a DM for AA many years ago when you hosted them.

    I'd love to set an instance of AA to get it all going again.
    I'd like to make it NWN:EE compatible.

    Hi all, I've spoken to Silverti and he sent me the mod, which I've put online now. Just look for Adventure Island.

    You'll need the CEP1 to play it though, but you can get it from here:
    https://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/hakpak/cep1-complete

    I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to convert it to CEP 2.65, so any suggestions would be helpful.

    Its asking for a custom talk file. cant login
  • danskmacabredanskmacabre Member Posts: 12
    Oh? which file?
    Did you apply the CEP1 from the link I sent? That's the one I used?
    There's HAKs, ERF I believe and a few other files that have to be put in various locations

    Is AI going back up?
  • SilvertiSilverti Member Posts: 9
    can anyone confirm if AI made it up on the list for persistent worlds and is being played?
  • RobAncalagonRobAncalagon Member Posts: 1
    Yes, it's back up and running. I've seen about 3 of us online so still pretty quiet! Thanks again Silverti for all the hard work years ago, and a huge buzz to have it back online

    Hey Silverti! Its me the Evil Taki Otori! :D I was looking for a copy of your server to play with a friend who has never played nwn and i see that you are maybe bringing the server back online? That would be awesome! I am going to try and retrieve my cd keys from bioware and get the game installed.
  • Taki_OtoriTaki_Otori Member Posts: 2
    I re-bought the game and ive logged in to the adventure island server that is currently online, So much nostalgia! and i completely forgot you named an npc after me Silverti :D I dont know whos server this is but if its not yours and you bring yours back online i will be there in a heartbeat. -Lycan

    1. players only need the talk file from CEP1 if they have CEP2.65 from steam maybe you can get the CEP team to include it with CEP

    2. You can try just changing the talk file in the mod to the new talk file , I did this on a mod I made back in like 2006 and was able to log on

    IS AI still up? If I buy the new XBOX version that just came out, would I be able to play it with all the add-ons required?
  • SilvertiSilverti Member Posts: 9
    I have finally purchased the game and I am working to get Adventure Island back up and running. I have already figured out how to get it up and listed again and Im working out bugs in the module. I'll try to keep a version online but I still need to set it up as a service. It was CEP 1.52 and Im currently building 1.68. I'll continue testing. When I play it I do find odd issues like it seems that the in-house database isnt working, not sure what to do about that yet. Next Ill look into trying to update to the latest CEP.

    Hey Silverti! Remember me? I used DM for ya! That would be cool if you get AI running on EE.

    Do you need assistance? I am a long time fan with much spare time to help. I am a reverse engineer by trade. Your module alone could win game awards with its rich story and crafting system. I miss it and felt I should reach out.

    Just wondering if a Discord server has been created for this PW.

    If not could it be a good idea?

    There is currently an AI up and running. It’s super original and good been playing on it for 2days but headed to Germany for 2 weeks. I’ll be back when I get home. Also, I have a copy that has been super updated by OUAbigail.
