The Valen Shadowbreath thread :)

[Legacy_Dragon Studios]

               Valen is a pretty cool guy. I had a bromance with him.

               I have the same problem as Kyda honestly, though I've gotten the romance to work in the past. I wonder what I did to make it not work this time. Anyways, I'll take the advice that was given to her and restart the whole thing. Hopefully that will do the trick.
Edit: Annnndd, the toolset is being a butt and won't let me implement the damn fix for Valen. Do I really need it when I have the game patched up to 1.69?

               If your game is patched up to 1.69, it should work, although you won't get all of the conversations (two in Ch. 2, one in Ch. 3, and the mimic scene, if I remember right). I'm not very good with the toolset, but hopefully someone else here knows it better. What, exactly, is it not letting you do?

It won't let me access the 3rd chapter at all from the toolset. It's not even available as an option in the open menu, where as both the first and second chapter are working just fine. I did everything up to that point exactly as the fix says I should, but it still won't show up..

In the neverwinter nights directory there is a file called nwnplayer.ini Open the file in notepad and find the line that says ''CODEWORD XP2='' or some variation thereof. Change it to: 

CODEWORD XP2=barkeater 

If there isn't a ''CODEWORD XP2='' line then just add it somewhere between the ''[Game Options]'' and ''[Control Options]'' lines. After putting this in you should be able to access all the chapters for the expansion campaign.

(Not written by me, as I forgot what the codeword was. '>

Do the above, and you should be able to access the chapter in the toolset. The game doesn't allow you to access modules you haven't completed.

Huzzah! You are amazing! '> Thank you so much!
This makes me really wish I still had my old computer working, as I have completed all the vanilla campaigns back then.. But this was a new install, and my first time tinkering with the toolset, so I had no idea that could happen. Thank you for telling me. ^^

               I really hate to be a pain, but does anyone have a working link for the Chapter 2 - Deity Talk fix? All I can find is a version for the Mac, and I'm using a PC..

               Did you try the fix that can be found on Petals&Thorns forum?
If not, go to:
http://www.petalsand...024084&start=30

One of those posts includes both fixes for Chapter 2 and 3 to download directly from the site.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Nyaore]

               It worked. I searched that forum for hours last night trying to find that very erf file and couldn't find it. Guess I just wasn't looking hard enough. Thank you. Hopefully this will be the last time I have a problem like this. ^^

               Ooo, a Baldur's Gate/Hordes crossover? Very cool! I can't wait for Imoen and Sarevok to meet Valen!
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_OfficerDonNZ]

               Yep a BGII/HotU crossover. An idea that's been kicking around in my brain for YEARS.

And at the pace I tend to write at it'll be a while before Immy and Sarevok meet Valen '>

               I know this thread has died down recently, so I don't know how many people still check it regularly, but I figured this would be as good a place to ask my question as any.

I've finally caved and started writing a Hordes/Valen fan fic. I started playing the game again, but because I've written such an elaborate backstory for my first PC (ok, maybe not that elaborate, but still) I'm having a hard time roleplaying my current character properly.  I'd successfully differentiated between the two through SoU, but for some reason I can't do it in HotU. In my mind, I've tied the adventure too closely to my first PC that I can't imagine it unfolding for another character. I hoped that writing about my first PC and getting her story set in stone would help me overcome this, even though I've never done something like this before. I wrote a little bit and had a blast, and I thought that since NWN is such an old game, maybe people wouldn't mind the story being revisited again. I know I've enjoyed reading the stuff posted here; it's like spending time with old friends when I can't actually play.

The thing is, I don't have the faintest idea of how to "publish" it. I just want to have some fun and NOT GET SUED, so how do I ensure that doesn't happen? Also, where would be a good place to post stuff like this? I've seen people use their BSN blogs, but others use outside sites. Also, would anyone even want to read it, or should I just keep my story to myself?

Many thanks!
