NWN Vault is dead! Long Live NWN Vault!

EA Games has finally officially closed down the old IGN Neverwinter Nights Vault website for good: http://www.ign.com/w.../empty/View.php

 

Use new Neverwinter Vault: http://neverwintervault.net (all old vault's 40,000+ entries have been backed up, but will take time to re-upload)

Wait wait, so you say everything will be ok but just with a little bit worse filtering/search options? That's great!

 

Well, I shouldn't commit to this but I'll try, if you want, I wouldn't call my self an expert but I know pretty well Drupal 6 and 7 (worked 3 years professionally with them) so we could take a look to create better views for filtering and everything else if you want.

More like, we are finally "taking it back" for the community! Power to the People! *Throws a Happy 60's Revolutionary Anarchist Love-in*  '>

 

(It has been a long time coming, and the new vault actually gives us a much more modern user-friendly interface, and plus many new options)

I was kidding with the worse filtering by the way.

 

Anyway, as I said I worked with big drupal websites and if you guys need help, feel free to give me a shout.

It wouldn't be so bad but to redirect you to the wiki for the neverwinter mmo just adds insult to injury.

OH NO! I'm always going back there for mods! That's so sad... it's one thing that's difficult on the web - preserving. :-(

I'm just happy i religiously downloaded every tutorial and custom content tool i could... (if i was ever lost on an island with a laptop and nwn)

 

My suggestion for re-uploading old vault content (to those who backed it up) is to focus on the top 100s, hall of famers, and highest downloads first, hopefully with a priority request thread on the new vault forum for old entries current users want. (I know tilesets will be a big topic alone)

I just went to old vault, went to one of my entries and changed the description and the change was reflected in the page.

But it's basically dead http://neverwinterva.../jun/thats-wrap

that redirect thing is just another brainfa*t of these idiots. Over 10 years now we made that thing and not EA not anyone else so they should at least be humble and dont act like they dont know... he, we deserve the credits and the credits are OURS. NWN mmo is nothing and nwn REAL is the only game that deserves the name NEVERWINTER NIGHTS. Somehow I think some peeps from these companys are nothing more then some very sad figures with no honor that you achive trough a mod community in terms of free share and helping others.

Ah well, time to delete all those NWVault bookmarks going back to 2003.

 

“The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,

Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit

Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,

Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.”

 

- until the web site goes offline.

In bookmarks you have important info: category and ID, so keep them - you will be able to find the entries easier in new vault, right?

Apparently once again, they moved it...

 

Well, it's not shut down, the DNS has been changed. You can still get to it by modifying your hostsfile and accessing the site directly via their server IP.

 

69.10.25.55     nwvault.ign.com

 

And snag what's really important to you before it's gone for good.

 

FP!

 

Tho its probably not a bad idea get everything you want while you still can...

The issue though is that there is soooo much out there, and most of us wouldn't exactly know what we might want that we do not already have copies of.... sucks losing online resources.  I certainly wonder how people lived back in the 1800's without cell phones and the power of the internet

They waged war to pass the time.

That particular pass time has never gone out of style; unfortunately, it never will.
