I realised that there was never a formal announcement here to read up: The Catara NWN server is offline for quite some time now, due to time constraints. I might revive it someday, but it is pretty unlikely. If anyone wants to use our custom classes or tools, ping me on twitter (@jollyorc) and we can see what we can do for you! In the meantime, I do recommend The World of Avlis: https://avlis.org/
Can't open cage door
  • The slave cage at area tag: xp55yp45zp0
    (Southern Talore - Central Crag Hills)

    ..it has a usable side, showing an unlocked lock icon. Attempting to lock/use it gave no results tho.
  • its not a door...but it can be destroyed
  • I did destroy it! Rained fire on it from above!

    I do have a script that makes just such an object act as a door on unlock.. want to have a look at it?
  • I've toned down the hardness for the cage a bit, to be more in line with the low-power theme of Catara. That script sure sounds interesting though.
  • These scripts used any lockable object (bookcase & the cage-bar placeable were the two i used it on) & made the item act as a doorway. Two waypoints where used, one the same as the object in the "closed position", & the second in the "open position".

    I've found the beta versions I tested: I was working on cleaning them up a bit when the project they were for got eaten by 1.69 problems & never re-surfaced. They could do with a tweak for a sound FX & perhaps a more suitable VFX.

    I have the re-worked versions, which were about half the size of these, but had some bugs in need of squashing!

    (actually.. i think these both worked.. will check! posting one older & one newer version here)
