Winter is not so bad after all

This morning, with the snow and the much below zero temperature, seemed like crap. But now when I sit here at my new favorite place in the house, with a mug of coffe and a ham sandwich (without butter), it's not too bad. And for a few minutes there was this sunshine blinding me for a minute and it made turn away from my computer and me look out of out very winter-dirty windows. The 2nd year geranum-plants are waiting for the me to prune them in a couple of week. Pretty nice!

It's probably just me trying to lose some weight and that diet that makes me cranky like a little kid.

The sun is shining!

A few minutes later...

Now I'll drink my coffe and hurry to get started on the White House on the Hill-area. The observant reader may notice that this area is already finished, it has been seen in screen shots ever since Augst last year. Yes, but I have to re-design it to fit into the looks of the surrounding woods. :) This module sometimes feels like a Neverfinished Nights module :) Don't worry I'm always finishing what I've started - even if it takes a long, long time...

ZORK Show stopper! (not anymore)

I've posted a cry for help at the nwn2forums:

" I've upgraded to 1.10 and installing MotB plus the dialogue fix (on a blank my documents\neverwinter 2\)

Now I can't load my my work any more. It works fine in the toolset but when loading the module NWN2 says: "unpacking module..." I waited 2 hours before killing the proces.

I've tried loading from both .mod and directory with no difference. Help! Anyone?"

If you have any clue please help me save this project! Posting comments are open for everyone.

[UPDATE]

Wyrin_D'njargo is the hero of the day!
He responded so quick and helped me to do what everyone else probably would have done first of all - think before you panic. Embarrassing but true.
While speaking about Wyrin - Visit his NWN2-blog. Right now he has some pictures of the new content in MotB. He also writes about his module development and has some interesting stuff about texturing and module design.

Thank you Community Pals!

As stunned I was over ATARI Sweden's bad customer treatment, I'm completly overwhelmed by the response from helpfull people out there. Whitin an hour my mailbox had none less than eight suggestsions that could solve my problems. Thank you to both HeffCon and Sadina76 for finding the solution. It's too long to explain here but most imortant was that I didn't have to reinstall my PC or reinstall NWN2. If you encounter similar problems feel free to contact me.

Now I can breathe again and my wife has drawn back the threath of midnight assassination for screwing up our OC save-games.

Only one thing remains: My character Amraphael has lost his facial hair and looks butt-uggly without it. As in real life I love my goatee and I miss it alot. Anyone know why it's gone?

Well, one more thing: I have to do some serious editing of my .2da's for ZORK. Obsidian and my entrys collide and I have to move up some 1000 entries. Lots of work but not impossible.

/A much more possitive Amraphael than yesterday

Wow!

I can't say anything else. Wow, the toolset is so powerfull. The NWN1 toolset was easy to learn and this one is a bit harder to get into. But after a couple of hours I'm hooked. The handling of scripts in conversations are just great. I can really lose myself in it for hours and hours. Not to mention the Visual Effects Editor. Ok, I'm using ver 1.05 but I can't understand why so many at the NWN2-forums complain over all and everything. I would be happy and proud if I had a Obsidian t-shirt. If there's to little custom content - make some by yourself. If there's no modules to play - make one. Spoiled kiddes :)

BTW - me and my wife are after 7 ½ months almost done playing the OC in co-op multiplayer. Maybe 4 crashes, no lost data and never a problem with performance. I'm I just lucky or do some ancient god protect nice people?
