cormyrean prophecies: Natfka

[Legacy_zakoam]

               

Good luck Mark and thanks for all of your hard work getting it up and running again.

 

I love the ideas for the website, Johnny.  I am one of the older players and am well aware that there are areas I am either very unfamiliar with or even never traveled to.  A map and hints would be awesome.  Condensing areas, especially cities and needlessly long paths/roads, sounds spectacular too.  

 

Looking forward to any and all changes you guys try.  Its an adventure now to "re-explore" CP and not knowing what might be around the next corner will only make it more exciting again!

Thanks for looking into breaking up the hak into smaller ones.

 

I think the best way to make a map for a server is to travel it from start to finish and record all movements (Area transitions, points of interest, doors, traps etc) on a piece of graph paper. Each area should be one sheet and you can tape them all together as one area transitions into another. Once completed, you can transition the document into a drawing application or maybe even excel. At one point, we had a document nearly 30 sheets of graph paper across on our dining room table xD That was quite a project!

 

Looking forward to trying out the mod once it's back up.

For making maps I play in 800x600 resolution and take a screenshot of the area with my mini map open after I'm done exploring it. Later, I cut-n-paste only the mini map portion into a paint program, applying each in its order and then adding any notes onto the images.

So the current IP for Natfka is at 67.5.194.37:5121  ?

 

Just double checking, I was trying to relist it into my shortcut but am not finding it.  Is it down for more maintenance?

That is a million times better than what I suggested! Do this instead XD

               Note for low level characters: gdi goblins, spider dens (tyrluk), dragonmere coast (suzail), elf lands (everyone can go here now via gdi), and Mage keep (suzail) have all been modified to give a little better Xp.

Also, feel free to invite people and private chat people you don't know. This is a friendly server, and a lot of runs will require 2-4 people.


I added an epic fire merchant at fireguard keep who will sell you +6 gear after you kill the dragon. 3 -4 level 25s should be able to kill it.

The same goes for the vast swamp where I added a black dragon with an acid merchant. This will require closer to level 30 for a small group.

M16a2 has split all the HAK files for people on the website. Johny ringo (braz) has added a natfka map to it as well. "http://natfka.ddns.net"

If you are above level 15 and die, feel free to ask the players on the map if there is a DM available (some players have my phone number) or if someone can come raise you (many will do so for you).


Have fun

               I recognize a few usernames but can't quite place the characters. Cool to see Cormyr back up and running- I once played Mathom and also DMd as Valor for a short time. Just checking in to see if there are any returning players from the original Shorlial days. Currently downloading haks and excited to try out HH again.
