Sorry, the old files got all messy with the patches and branches. I'm working on a new release now...

New Abyss 404 Leader and Migration Congratulations to Sarrena on being the new leader and host of Abyss 404 , and Caspian for joining the development staff. The server may be down sometime in the next few days to complete the migration and testing of the new server. Retirements Dantriege (Head Tech...

For the first one, is the right set of 2da files being pointed to in watcher.properties? (i.e. whatever they would be in the order of hakpacks?) Also, what ECL do wemics start at? The error means that it couldn't find which ability score was raised for that ability score boost every 4 levels. If the...

Another way might be to script up a chest or container of somekind in a dummy copy of the module and put an instance of each item you have in the palette in that container. Then run a script that automatically goes through and updates the database with the information for each of the items in that c...

Abyss 404 running CEP now.

The Abyss 404 game server is now running with the CEP and CoPaP hakpacks. Players must have CEP 1.01, CoPaPHak 4.2, UniversalHak 4.2, CoPaP Patch, and CoPaP TLK 3.3 installed in order to successfully enter the game server now. (download here)

Abyss 404 1. [save] spoken command added. This command can be used once every in-game hour (2 minutes) to make sure the character is saved. 2. Characters should now save correctly when resting at the maximum of once every 2 minutes. 3. Some stability fixes for the speech command interpreter. If the...

We have already been debating this on the Abyss404 forums, but I would like to see what everyone in COPAP thinks. Just to clarify, Abyss 404 does not currently endorse or recommend the PrC Consortium pack at present, and this has been stated quite clearly, and quite simply on the Abyss 404 forums.

(This was from a few days ago) Abyss 404 * PCs now gain a small amount of "exploration" XP for each new area they discover that is within or above their level range. * Weapon/Armor enhancement spells now just have a small chance of temporarily cursing the item rather than a small chance of...

Do: Keep scale and IC builder intent in mind How big does it compare to real-life structures? For artificial indoor areas like dungeons, keep scale in mind. If you've got artificial indoor rooms the size of soccer fields, and straight hallways that you can run a 600 yard dash across, then you best ...

For it to work, both worlds would need this custom non-Bioware spell in their .2da files and hakpacks. It does appear to be a part of CoPaPHak 3.1. Rockhome should make sure the ECL checker is pointing to the appropriate CoPaP version of the spells.2da which has the Blur spell in it (line 1500). Mos...

A d20 Modern pantheon with the current major world religions would be refreshingly interesting to play in, with a collection of several monothiestic deities (Jew's Jehovah, Christians' Jesus/Holy Trinity, Islam's Allah) and less diety-centric philosophies (Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism), each with an a...

Hard to decide - they all seem like the same old deities recycled over and over again with different names.

Abyss 404 is going live on April 1st (yes, April Fools Day!) at around 9PM GMT (4PM EST). The live server location will be at: abyss404.d2g.com:5121.

For simplicity sake, it won't be linking with other worlds until after the upcoming hakpack upgrade across CoPaP.

Don't these changes have to happen to ALL of the Copap worlds or else something weird happens? Forgive my ignorance in developmental areas. I'm merely a DM. :D No, polymorph.2da changes are controlled entirely on the server side, and irrelevant on the client side. Thus not every world needs the sam...

Another example of the inbalance is the default Basilisk shifter form - it lets you have unlimited use/day petrification gaze at shifter level 5. Now imagine a bunch of players using that and making statues all over your server...

Modification of the core classes would present a great problem. Core class modification is a .2da change that needs to be on the client and server side of each world. Players from other worlds would not be validated for your world, nor would players from your world be validated on other worlds unles...

If you want a great Star Wars experience, play Bioware's Knights of the Old Republic. Playing through that has made me crave Star Wars so much more. Unfortunately, I know that the Episode III movie couldn't possibly come anywhere near close to the entertainment experience and story of the Knights of...

The behavior of spells, feats, and prestige classes would vary based on server. The best place to look would probably be the web site of each world to see what differences there are. Some changes might not even be openly revealed, and are left as something that PCs might discover in character.

Another thing to keep in mind is that if the final CEP gains popularity and other PW servers and downloadable standalone modules use it, then players will need to download it anyway just to play downloadable modules and other PW servers. This means that as long as we use the CEP as-is (and not some ...

Here's a summary of what's been going on lately at Abyss 404: New Staff : We're fortunate to get Dantreige as the new Technical Coordinator, and are pleased to finally announce our new two-headed Head DM, Demandred/Felisin. This is a big change compared with our old Demon-style anarchy. Live Open Be...

This just means that worlds need to make sure their new custom races have good fun-to-play RP concepts. The onus is not just on the builder, but also the players, in letting the builders know what they would find to be interesting RP concepts for races.

Here's the first formal role opening up on the Abyss404 team: Head DeMon Demon-Style Unmanagement not working: In the past, the Abyss 404 server development and team infrastructure was modeled after the true chaotic evil abyssal demon style where whoever works on whatever they can whenever they can ...

Yeah that makes sense. We'd just need to cook up a story for low intelligence characters and pure barbarian characters who can't read. Or even a more abstract item called "Memories" or "Mind". Activating it could display some of the variables. If it was ever somehow lost - then s...

With the cursed plot undroppable items in HotU, you can't drop them as far as I know. You can't sell/trade them or put them in an inventory bag or in a placeable container. There's no getting rid of them except for scripted means. So one of those small miscellaneous items would probably do. No need ...
