Hi all,

All good things must come to an end..

Thanks for the hundreds and hundreds of hours of memorable play-time!

Regarding the mod: would it be an acceptable option to give it a final resting place in some public archive? There to be downloaded by anyone that wants it? I guess none of the developers would mind, looking at the open atmosphere that has surrounded the mod. Sure, there have been many discussions and debates, some of them heated, but mostly on content :-)

Anyway, the alternative of just "throwing it in the garbage bin" seems a waste.

Cheers!

Heyyy bad_karma !
So great to hear from you again, you were also one of the great inspirators for my ongoing hosting.
as for public place ...
nah
... dont even know where to begin searching for such an anonymous  place ... let alone maintain it and keeping it alive.
I just give it to "driven" people ... somewhat in the hope they continuing this great mod.

Loved it that you liked playing this mod.
Maybe one day in the future we meet/talk again.
wRspct!

YEAH! Name is based in that villain from the 5th dimension if not wrong. Im using that nickname since i played PAC-MAN in Arcade Machines were in public places, so many years ago. LOL

!So kewl !  
specially because of my nostalgia memories too
(including "the arcade hall times")
 

Dear Myx,

Thnx for enjoying and appreciating my hostingseffort

BTW Is Myxplyyk named after a villain DC (superman)-based name (named Mxyzptlk)? ...
... still got an old comic from superman when he encounters this villain, loved that villain.


But also copy ... sure NP ... PM me in forum with personal email and I can send all the good stuff to you.

Dear great Nep,

So much thnx for youre kind words ... means a lot to me.
NP to give you a copy including the special needed other stuff to run this mod.
Just Message me in Forum where I can put the files. (and perhaps give some tips)

wRspct!

Dear GvM fans .... Maybe bad news, maybe its about time to end an epic era of this great NWN-mod.
Avarage daily use is nowadays around 2 ... (some weeks have a better day ... but max 5)
So I host this mod for a very very happy few.

I love to keep this mod alive, but I also have to be real ... especially because I myself almost never play GvM no more.  
We also dont have active Dingeon Masters no more ... so the true "GvM spirit" is actually gone.

So I'm pulling the "Host-plug"  .... around end of April 2024 !
accumulative reason: I'm visiting China then for a month for a KungFu experience in a Temple on Wudang Mountain.

I want to give a huge! Thanx for making the hosting possible thanks to the old HFO-Team
especially hfodf and ManiacK ... by keeping this website alive
(without this website ... no good GvM-mod experience ... thnx m8s !
And naturally also -firecracker- ... thanks m8 for helping this mod up-to-date as long as needed to actually get to the new EE-NWN server methode on Steam and and keeping this mod alive ... even after some "heavy" NWN-updates.

And ofcourse a big thnx for all the active users of this mod ... especially some special people who reached out to me by mailing me on my hotmail email-address.
... You all gave me a lot of extra motivation to keep hosting this mod as long as it lasted.

I'm more than willing to give this modfile and servervault to someone who wants to keep hosting by the way.

So please pay attention .... this server is up till April 23th ... after that its "gone"
When I'm back in June I check this forum for maybe the last time .... and then I'm leaving GvM behind me

I'll stay "as active as possible for me" in this forum till April 23th.

Love you all !

wRspct!

Sry took longer than intended ... but server is running again

ANNOUNCEMENT
I'm going on holiday ... so
server will be down for 3 weeks
July 20 till August 11

let's hope someone w/ knowledge on this pops in to fix, hoping here that NWN's greatest server ever gets back to full health  

Hear hear.
Really hope the same (also totally agree with greatest server ... thats why I try to keep hosting this one :-)

Server only restricts "Item level restrictions", nothing more.
Server itself hasnt changed any configurations last couple of years

I'm very afraid latest Steam-NWN-updates have forced all kinds of other things like "class alignment restrictions"

I dunno what to do to revert everything to normal.

Hmmmm, huge update indeed + Steam update.
Hope everything keeps working in this mod with all the patches.
Server is running again ...
fingers crossed

Its running, not down ... maybe a glitch?
(Fun fact .... server checks every 5 mins if it is up ,.. if not ... server starts ... so unless Microsoft forces update ... server most of the times will be running again within 10 mins)

Forced Microsoft updates .... and auto-logout
but now running again!
 

Sadly we need to stay on topic here, so no place to discuss reasons of crashing
(and i'm not a developer so I cannot possibly investigate reasons of crashing)

So on topic:
a while ago I've made a script that checks each 5 mins or so, if nwnee-server is running ... if not then start.
And it works ... cause server was running when I checked.

My advise ... check 10 mins after crash if server is running again.

Hope crashes stay out or otherwise somebody finds out why these crashes are happening and when.
And post it somewhere in a new topic.

Happy hunting again!

heh ... whats happening?
Server was up and people were playing ...
Does server crash sometimes while playing?
(cause I scripted auto-reboot when something like that happens)

Well nevertheless ... server is up

Hmmm strange ... just looked and server was up and running.
Weird ...

Up and running again 

Server glitched maybe? ... bcause server was up and running when I checked.

Restarted!

Restarted

Thnx.
Up again
HF

server was definitely up
... but apparently went down again after forced Microsoft update <sigh>

Anyhow
Server is running again
HF!

Eeeh no ... is it for u then?
