1.089f has been delivered. "Major" addition is the connection between Que-Kiri and Que-Teh. Plus tonns of little brushups/fixes.

Sorry, no update this weekend! It's still 1.089f.

If you red through the bug-section, you will remember, that some armor-models won't show correctly on the Minotaur or Half-Ogre model. I'm checking and adjusting them right now. In the next update, you'll have working (showing) armors plus special stores, which sell them for these 2 race.

1.089g is out.
Again: Things under the hood: I checked all our Minotaur-armor-appearances and adjusted them. So, hopefully, all armor-models (for minotaurs) should completely show up. IF NOT, PLEASE REPORT.
In addition, special minotaur-stores have been set up. For a start, you'll find one in these places:
Sanction - Central Slums, Solace - Southern Outskirts and Tarsis - South Gates.
These armors are specially adjusted for the minotaur model and restricted to the base race "Half-Orc"!
Due to RL work ( ), I'm behind with the half-ogre-armor. It's on the list.

1.089h:
We had some issues with ACs regarding the minotaur armors. They should be fixed now. In addition, there is a high quality minotaur gear smith to be found in in the Sanction Harbor area. He also sells a few special minotaur and half-ogre-weapons with some boni, which other "general" weapons don't have.
Half-ogre armor is not in, yet.
Have fun!

1.089i has been delivered.
Couldn't motivate myself to continue the work on the Half-Ogre armor.
Instead I did small things under the hood + detail additions. Some work went into areas SW and W of Solace.
Half-Ogre armor will be next (I think...)

Downloading and hosting.

Real Life has been wild, as of late. In a good way!

Here comes the mod - Let's screw around and see if it works.

Just to keep you informed on the progress:

Abyssal work these armors!

OK, I got all the half-ogre-armors created, but since the half-ogre-model (like the minotaur-model) is not a NWN-standard-model, not all armor-models work on them. I started testing and found a few flaws, so I have to check them all out - this time for both genders!

I'm getting to it, but I won't be able to deliver an update for this upcomming weekend. But by the following weekend, it should be done.

So, this weekend it's still 1.089i.

Half-Ogre armors are done and traders are set up. Now you can fully enjoy this special race! A sack full of other things have been done. It's in 1.090a, which is going to be shipped tomorrow.
Will post more details, soon!

1.090a has been delivered. Major additions:
Half-Ogre armor trader can be found (for a start) in Solace Southern Outskirts, Tarsis South Walls and Sanction North Slums (Sanction: Smithy with high quality gear). As with the minotaurs, the armors are restriced to the base race of the half-ogre (=half-orc). So you could equip a minotaur with this armor (and vice versa), but it won't look very well!

Also I put in a "herb woman" who helps poisoned/diseased toons (for a fee). Currently to be found (for a start) in Gateway, Solace, Sanction North Slums, Caergoth Center, Tarsis Old Waterfront.

Version 1.09a is up and running - Adventure awaits...

1.090b is out. A few fixes and detail work has been made.

Working with the mod. 1.090b is still the current version.
We probably will have a change regarding the HAKs. With this, we hope, that downloading needed HAKs will be a little bit more convenient. Announcements will be made in time!

Work is in progress. Sadly, the vault has some upload problems, so I cannot send out the a new version. So, 1.090b is still the current version.
The new version will also supply a little "dragon rider demo part".

HAKs have been delivered to the vault. Waiting for confirmation.
With these (new) HAKs, we cut down the number of download locations (+ a few more goddies for us to use).
I will announce in time and update the "needed HAKs" section.

New HAKs are ready for download. Please get all 4 files:

http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Hakpaks.Detail&id=8072

The new version (with these new DLCR_Tiles-HAKs) will not be up this weekend (Oct. 1st)! Maybe in one or two weeks. Just get them, so you are prepared.
So, at the moment, 1.090b is still the current version (with the "old" HAK-collection).

When the new version is up, you can remove quiet a few HAKs, which have been in use before, if you logged into the DLCR-mod before. Details will be posted to the "Needed HAKs"-section.

I'm still edging out a few things. Won't make it until the next weekend (Oct. 14.). So, if it's hosted before this date, it'll still be 1.090b.

Remember to get the new HAKs:

http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Hakpaks.Detail&id=8072

Please get all 4 files.

New version (1.12) is ready to be delivered.

Major changes & additions:

Screens: https://dlcr.forumotion.net/t128-dragonrider-system#795

- Removed musical instruments from some stores (eg. smithy) and created a seperate store for musical instruments. For a start to be found in Tarsis, Caergoth North & Crossing.

- Added a "permission-system" for indoor resting. Talk to the according NPC to get a permission. It will now cost a few coins!

- Added a few areas leading south from Que-Teh.

- Many more "under the hood" things.

Will send a notice, when the mod has been delivered!

1.12 has been sent out.

Please get the new HAKs!

Details: See post before this one!

Dragonrider-demo:
Since it's "only" an OOC sneak preview demo, I decided to set up a NPC in the Realm of Mishakal. Talk to him to get a lift to the demo area.
Of course you can also reach it IG: Search out Crossing Beach (west of Crossing) or Caergoth Beach (south of Caergoth East). You will meet a NPC there, which will help you onto the dragon.

And... you might find some goodies while exploring...

Just to keep you informed (though these things are not in the current version):

I'm done with Twin Peaks and will work my self towards Haven (New Haven Road) and finally connect Haven (hopefully).

Found some little thingies (eg. in Gateway Inn, you are not able to get a resting permission), which will be fixed.

AND: With setting up the DLCR-Tileset collection, I missed out an edge file, that's why you don't see anything beyond the Solace area...
Will do an update on the DLCR_TilesTop. It will be not a necessary download, but then, it's a very small one! I will announce.

I've been very busy last week, so I didn't get as far as I wished to.

But the updated DLCR_TilesTop is about ready. I will do some more testing and then upload it to the vault. It will NOT happen this weekend! So no new version this weekend, but probably next.
I'll announce, when upload is done. Even if you don't get it right away, things will be working for you.

Areas towards Haven are all set up. Will have to add a few things here and there, but I hope, that I'll be ready next week.

Server: Up and running!

Server RESET

I do make some good progress! I think, we will have an updated mod on friday.

Some new areas are in and set up. Plus the DLCR_TilesTop.hak with some fixes is working well and ready for the upload to the vault. It has NOT been done yet! I'll announce!

The new mod version will be DLCR_1.13.

Dec. 14th 2011

The updated version of the DLCR_TilesTop (version 4) is on the vault:

http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Hakpaks.Detail&id=8072

It's just a small download. Please get it ASAP!
