Simply put, it's a Knightmare module for the game!

[EDIT] A couple mouse clicks later and This popped up as well... http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Modules.Detail&id=26442&id=4037

It's not a direct conversion of the original, and the general character you choose is an evil based alignment, making it kinda dark and twisted so maybe its not for the faint of heart.

Sorry.

Neverwinter Nights is a recently released role-playing game, set in a third-person 3D perspective. It is based around, and set in, the "Dungeons and Dragons" universe. Alongside a single-player campaign, a powerful editor is released with the game. This allows the creation of modules relatively easily (as many small details, in, say, a temple, are placed in automatically). This easy-to-use editor means that there are thousands of modules, all of different plot (and quality, naturally  ;)) which are out on the web. I hope to create my module (loosely) based around knightmare; with 4 different quests to choose from. However, being fairly unexperienced in scripting, or programming (NWN, as far as I know, uses a slightly-modified C+ language) except for the wonderfully archaic BASIC, I am already encountering many problems with scripting.

Without attempting to spoil my module, I want to get Motley to open a door when you get his riddle right; and for Smirkenoff to fly you off (even just a straight teleport would do for the moment) to a different area. Sadly, this is beyond the scope of any tutorial that I have found; but I am scouting around for help in that area. I would invite you all (anyone that's interested, that is) to take a look at www.neverwinternights.com for more information about the game (if you find the right forum, there's even a thread about the mod, too !!) Anyway, hope this clears a few things up for anyone who was confused about what NWN is, and I repeat that the module should be out 1/4 complete in the [early] spring. I'll keep you guys posted, anyway!

Thanks for showing an interest, and "Happy New Year!" to all !!!

PS: I have just [now] found a program which claims to allow simpler scripting for simple folk like me; I'll check it out and hope it's a breakthrough!!

Well, it's good to see that there still are some people interested. The mod is progressing, slowly but steadily, but, sadly, I'm already running into problems with the scripting of the thing! If anyone here knows someone who wouldn't mind helping me, or if anyone is willing to do so themselves, then please contact me

1. I'm sure there are lots of peeps interested.

2. Well done on the work you've already put in.

3. Perhaps it might help if you gave us a little more idea of exactly what you're producing. I'm afraid I have very little idea of what NWN is. Perhaps if you could give us a little more introduction to it and exactly what scripting it entails? Is it a straight script? Encounter scenario parameters? Or something else? I'd hope you'd get more response and interest if people know more of what you're trying to create.

And festive season best wishes to you too.

The first beta of the mod should be out, hopefully, in the springtime (with 1 out of the 4 quests completed, most likely).

Have a merry christmas and a happy new year, everyone!

Let us know how you get on  

Yes, the helmet was called the Helmet of Justice.

In later series there were indeed only the four quest objects you mentioned. In earlier series other quests were to Free the Maid and Retrieve the Talisman. In the first series the objects weren't specified, but the overall aim was to gain Squiredom.

On the copyright issue, I agree it's worth checking. Personally I'd guess it wouldn't be a problem until you intended to market or widely distribute it.

I hope it goes well.

And you can certainly beta-test! (It is likely that I will complete each quest fully before starting on the next)

Incidentally, any quest ideas would be good. Oh, and just to say, this mod is not going to be a direct transliteration of the knightmare series. It's gonna be inspired by knightmare; and there should be many recognisable characters.

if you need beta testers, lemme know...
