NWN Contest: The DRM Monster and the Treasure of GOG (posted OCT 27/2010. Contest ends Nov 24/2010)

[Legacy_Banshe]

               Using other people's content is a bit of a tricky subject. However, I assume that people will use content from the vault such as scripts etc. And that is ok. Mainly because the "entertainment" is really coming from the story being told. Not clever scripts and superbly designed areas etc. Mostly for the reason that one never knows whose work they are really judging. As the story "DRM monster and the Treasure of GOG" is a rather unique one, one can expect to see the bulk of the author's work in the story itself.



So new builders can use base mods.



As for the judges, the list is not final. When it is final we'll announce it. At the very latest, when the contest ends. That is the NWN1 community side. For the GOG side, I assume some of their employees will do it.

               By the way guys. I will have to get the contest submissions from the GOG guys. The ones that are put up on their ftp. So, please let me know at some point before the contest ends that you have submitted your entry so that I can collect it from them. Please post here to let me know.



So far, I know that Superfly has submitted an entry.

               I've finished!! Yay!



Anyway, I was wondering what I need to include? Do I simply need to copy the .mod file from the modules folder in the Neverwinter Nights directory or do I need to compile it somehow?



I'll be posting it within the next couple of hours...

Don't forget to include the pre-generated character that you are supposed to make to accompany the mod. I think you are allowed to encapsulate them in an archive.

Ok. I got your pm and answered your question on how to use Dropbox. And thank you for using that. I got an extra 250 mb of free space from it and so did you. Woohoo!

               I have finished my entry to the point I am satisfied with, so it has been submitted. Good luck to all that entered and I hope to see some interesting takes on the premise!

               Well luckily, I am in the same time zone (but different country) as GOG HQ. So I think it is safe to say that the end of the 24th is the same for them as for me. So midnight on the 24th of November. Time zone is CET. If you are in the UK, that is 11 PM. If you are on the U.S. East Coast (EST) it is 6 PM. So figure it out from there.



Also folks, and this is IMPORTANT, you have to post here before that time to announce the submission of your entry. I cannot tell the difference between a GOG entry and a NWN1 entry by going to their ftp.



Officially, only two people have submitted their NWN1 entries:



Superfly

Balduvard



If you are not one of these two people, you have not yet officially submitted your entry.
