The URL seems to be working fine for me now. I was able to connect to both the web site and board using the www.legendofvalinor.com address today.

Don't forget to add any HoTU creatures that are patched to everyone...
(if any). Remember the psuedodragon and fairy dragon from SoU issue?

Travellers
Balancing done in preparation for siege.
Many areas tweaked.
Our first working inn is in place.
Finally working on making the death system unique to our world.
ie. We are getting ready to go through and remove references to Avlis.
Kind of jarring to see "Would you like to return to Avlis?" :)

CoPaP

* CoPaPHak2_0.hak is complete, and downloadable from the Avlis FTP site. Feel free to mirror this all you want. Also, check it over and fix any mistakes you find. Hopefully by the time the 1.60 patch comes out, we can go right to this version.

Avlis Custom PC races coming soon:

-hermyt build a jump item and a grappling both in and looking very cool might i add.
-hermyt added all the haks into a self installing file and uploaded to nwvault yesterday
-Custom death system made up. u go to the asteral planes were its all nice and white and there is a guy standing there that u can talk to .If u have paid your res insurance then he sumons an elemental that goes and grabs your body and brings it to a healer that resurects u . And if u havent paid your insurance then its to hell with u . were u fight your exact clone to gain your life back.

Alot of the server is done. im just going over and fine tuneing now. Started player testing a few days ago. rilly helped alot.found a few tiny bugs that we fixed allready. talked it over with hermyt and we are going to do edleast a month or so of player testing before we are ready.still going to be adding more levels too while doing player testing.have a bit more spare time lately so im looking at around 600 levels by mid feb.

Moonsea Update

Post by Thejester »

Dont rilly have to much to update. Im just cracking away at more levels and hermyt is makeing up the web page. we are ready to join right now exept we need that web page up first. not only for the application forms and the forums but also so we can post the massive map we have for moonsea that was taken right out of the forgoten realms atlas. Its all done on a grid system for the seemless area transition system. The hole map is laced with one huge grid and each square is numberd with positive and negative numbers so u can find your way around the server and u allways know were u are. and that also means no more looking for that blue bar to step on to get to the next level instead u can just walk off the edge of eny level that is on the grid system. So far there is about 400 levels on the grid system alone that are on the map. then of course there is the many caves and crypts and tree houses and towers ......ect. The server is up 24/7 and we have been getting alot more players comeing by to check it out lately so we have had a very good chance to fix eny bugs in the mod. there was a few major ones but the mod has been tested prety extensivly now so they have all been fixed.
I have had nothing but raving reviews about me and hermyt's server and i think with bloodmonkeys mountains and swamplands that u can actually sink up to your neck in we are going to be a big hit on copap plus so many other tile sets and haks like beholder caves and Rural hills with hafling holes and the cloak hak so u can see when other chars are wereing cloaks and the tree canopys hak so there is no more of those biowere totem poles that for some reason they thought looked like trees and we have a walkway into the treehouses instead of just a blue bar to get there. But all that is stuff we had added a while ago. the only new thing lately besides more levels is we added a bunch of new monsters. the two i like the most are the owlbear and the treant. treant looks just like out of lord of the rings.
Enyways if enyone wants to know enymore info that i havent provided just pm me . oh and i know that sounds like alot to download but everything is added into one 52meg self installing hak file.
