Server connection FAQ (new) (Neverwinter Nights)
Attention!The connection information on the shard website is currently not reliable.
1) You need the NWN client itself with Shadows of Undrentide & Hordes of the Underdark addons.
You can download the client here, file codes RBCXG8MIN48VGN1 and X0PO8SKP04OE7HW, only 2.2 GB in 7z archives. The version there is 1.69, the version of Gema hacks is 25. Russian fonts are also included in the kit.
If you already have a client, go to the next step.
2) Client version must be 1.69.
If you already have 1.69, go to the next step, if not, download the patch, 325 MB.
3) You will need the hack files (and tlk) of the shard.
First, hack version #25, 67 MB in 7z archive. Unpack, put all the files in the / hak directory of your HVN. If clicking on the link results in a page with krakozyabry, save it as a 7z file. The MD5 sum of the file is 05b6c73ea73692ebfa7939357e1e5392.
Secondly, the latest version of the tlk file, put it in the / tlk folder of your NVN. If clicking on the link results in a page with krakozyabry, save it as a tlk file.
4) For unimpeded communication in Russian, you need to put Russian fonts in the / override folder of your NVN.
5) You need a bioware.com game account.
6) Next, register on the shard forum. After registration, you must wait for some time before your account is confirmed by the administrator, usually less than a day.
After confirmation, follow the link http://forum.nwnights.ru/index.php?act=nwn_regi, where you enter [b]the same game account that you registered on bioware.com[/b] and 3 keys from the nwncdkey file .ini, which is located in the game folder. If you are not a happy owner of license keys, then, most likely, the forum will display a message that such a key is already in use. You can use a key generator to generate your unique key. They sequentially create 3 keys and write them to the nwncdkey.ini file (it is important to follow the order of the keys, if the keys (key1, key2, key3) are not in order in the ini file, you need to fix this).
7) Launch the game client, go to Multiplayer -> Join Internet Game, enter the game account and password (which you used when registering on bioware.com), click Cancel in the GameSpy window that appears, then find the Direct Connect button at the bottom, in the window that opens in enter nwnights.ru in the IP-address field, leave the Player Pass field empty. If you did everything right, the character creation window should appear. After creating a character, you will be thrown into the main menu - this is normal, the next time you enter, you will be able to play this character.
Enjoy the game :)
Actually, FAQ.
Q: I registered on the forum, but my account has not been activated for several days. What to do?
A: Just wait. Activation is done manually, and there may be cases when, due to extraordinary circumstances, administrators are not on the forum for several days.
Q: Where can I download the game client?
A: You can download the client from the links:
Part 1,
Part 2,
Part 3.
Q: What is the size of the hack?
A: Approximately 67 Mb.
Q: Where can I download the hack?
A: The hack is here:
http://forum.nwnights.ru/uploads/hak/151008/release_25.7z ~67Mb
Unpack with 7zip archiver.
Don't forget about gem.tlk (you need to put it in your nvn's tlk folder):

Q: How often do wipes occur on the shard?
A: Due to problems with the server hardware, there was a forced wipe at the end of November 2006.
Q: What are the features of a shard?
A: There are quite a lot of them, but they have one thing in common - all systems except crafting are created by shard developers, and crafting is so studied and internally reworked that its real author recognizes only its "game" interface.
- Unique hack-pack;
- Kraft with own developments and additions;
- Magic changed in accordance with the edition of the D&D 3.5ed rules;
- No Magic and Wild Magic locations. Possibility of dynamic change;
- Magic components according to D&D 3.5ed rules;
- Loot system, of course, according to D&D 3.5ed :)
- Faith system. There are currently 6 gods available;
- Death system - corpses are saved between restarts and their last location too;
- Player reputation system;
- Several cities;
- NWN Account System - will protect your account and provide additional features. Lost your sd keys? Now this is not a problem;
- A system for tracking things in the world - we know who, where, how and when found the thing and who gave it to whom. Dupe restart is a forgotten nightmare.
- Static quests that you will definitely remember;
- About 20 new spells;
- ... and, of course, our main feature - our players, our developers and our DMs ;)
Q: Question about mob respawn, how does it actually happen?
A: Respawn occurs when entering the location once every 6 minutes, so players have to leave the location.
Q: Is it possible to change the alignment on the shard without the participation of the DM?
If so, in what "sides"?
A: Impossible. With the participation of the DM - only in exceptional cases and only when it does not give any game-mechanical advantages.
Q: What are the gods and what needs to be done so that the character gets into the flock of some?
A: Faith system
Q: What experience table is on the server? How much experience is lost per death?
A: Experience Table:
Level Experience Level Experience
1 0 11 385000
2 2500 12 800000
3 5000 13 1175000
4 10000 14 1550000
5 22500 15 1925000
6 50000 16 2405000
7 70000 17 2780000
8 100000 18 3455000
9 145000 19 3830000
10 260000 20 4505000
250 * Level of experience is removed for death.
Q: It seems that everything was done correctly, but when connecting, it gives an error: "Your CD-key is not authorized." What could be the problem?
A: There can be three reasons:
- The CD key in your nwncdkey.ini file does not match the one you entered in the NWN account registration form. In particular, the order of the keys in the ini file may be wrong: key3=..., then key2=... In this case, you should swap the keys in the ini file.
- There is an apostrophe (single quote) in the name of your game account.
- The account you use to access the server does not match the one you entered in the NWN account registration form. For example, the case of letters does not match (in one case, a lowercase letter, in another, an uppercase letter). To change the account entered in the registration form, you must contact the administration.
Q: Unable to login as a character. Gives an error like "Character has implausible agility."
A: It is necessary to delete all files with 2da extension from the Override folder, for example, downloaded for playing on other shards.
Q: Where can I buy a blank scroll in Gem?
A: An empty scroll can be made. Scrolls also require ink and a pen to write.
Q: I go to the shard, I create a chara, but when I click on "Play". The game gives me: "Invalid hero - incorrect player login. The server did not recognize the object." I can't figure out what's wrong. I downloaded hacks, tlk, patches, addons, everything is there.
A: When creating a character, you do not need to change the starting clothes.
Q: Is the privilege of humans over other races implemented regarding the lack of a 20% penalty when multiclassing? Do prestige classes have a multiclass penalty?
A: Implemented. Are not taxed.
Q: What is the experience distribution system in the party?
A: The correct batch is a batch of 2+ characters that has been tested by a special formula (it's a secret). It should also be added that the penalty for the number of members increases at 2-4 spells, and then begins to decrease, stopping at 6 members. In fact, a party of 6 members is slightly inferior to parties of 2 in terms of experience, but given the strength - a large party is now much more profitable.
Q: Tell me how to deal with crafting
A: There will be no tables from the administration. But I advise you to look here. Over time, the simplest information about crafting will be available in the game.
Q: How can I get "Shard Player" status on the forum?
A: If you have a character of level 4+, then you can get the status of a shard player by clicking on the link. This will unlock access to the players forum and bugtrack.
Q: I died, but the loot bug didn't show up. What to do?
A: There are 2 options - either you were half-thrown, or you died in a lock with crooked tiles - Elven Castle or Black Lake. In the latter case, you need to put the fix of the loot model in the override folder. After you take the loot, it is better to remove the fix from the override.
Q: The crafting skill does not rise. Why?
A: Sometimes closing/opening the table and restarting helps.
Q: Where can I write Quentu? Immediately in the standard kvent intermortium nvn? Or preliminary quent control via DMs?
A: There is a special theme for the Quent. It's better to place the appearance in the description window :)
Q: I created a character, played with it, restarted - it says "You have been booted". What could be the reason?
A: Boot character in several cases:
- A character with the same name already exists;
- You log in with a "not your" account - for example, the case of one or more letters of your account when you log in and in the registration form on the forum do not match;
- The invulnerability flag is set on the character.
Twice I tried to download both parts of the client at once, both times the first part hung at 94%, the second at 81% What should I do?
Does anyone know where else you can download the client??
well... did you install the game on the previous system or did you unpack it from the archive? then you urgently need registry keys or reinstalling the game =)
I created bioware and gem accounts with different names (this was before I read the FAQ). How can I get out?
Create a new account or there or there? And MB and the administration will take pity. here once in a while it is not necessary):
Can't create! On biovars, they say that they say "there is such a name!", but here that "there is already such an email!". Well, what to do?
Eh... Nothing helps. Recreated all accounts and a whole bunch of things - did not help. Account verified. But "the server is not responding (time out)". So it's bad luck for me to play on shards.
Maybe you just didn't set something right? try to connect by server IP :) don't give up in general :)
People! Help who can!
I did everything right, indicated the keys, uploaded patches and hacks, but after creating the character, he writes that gem.tlk cannot be found!
Please tell me where to download it from or send me an email [email protected]
People, plz tell the admin to activate the acc on the forum, otherwise after reading the thread about how some of them wait for a couple of days to activate the acc ... in general, so that I don’t have to wait a couple of days, I decided to unsubscribe here in advance)))
PS: acc "Fyuj" without quotes))
