It's been a long time since I launched NWN...
« on: July 25, 2012, 05:48:19 am »


               ... but was going to do so and log in as a DM on one of my modules... I can load the module - but the option to log in as a DM seems to be missing... all I can log in as is a "local" character (which does not have DM powers). Am I missing something here or is my memory just THAT bad? :-)

               It does get that "Can Not Connect To Master Server; Some Multiplayer Services May Not Be Available" (which is because Bioware took down the server that NWN used to go through, I believe) - but is there a way around this to get the DM available again?

               I just tried it, had no problems.
I brought up the NWN launcher, picked the DM Client. Told it to do a new internet game (or however that's phrased...)

I got the message about the server being down, the usual yadda-yadda wait.
Then I got to put up my server, and once all the server settings were set, had to pick a "character" to be a DM. It all worked fine, and I had all DM powers.

I may have gotten something backwards here, should have written it all down. Heh.
Where in this process did your train go off the rails?

               ZOMG.

*head desk*

So... yeah, all my fault. Was using Windows 7 (had not played NWN since getting this desktop) and so used to doing the "type the command" rather than browse through the folders on the start button - that I was launching the wrong NWN executable...

Good gravy that's embarrassing...

               Haha. Well, having made that same mistake in the past, I wondered if that was the problem.
