Dispatches From Neverwinter

A journal of my progress as I (attempt to) learn how to build modules for Neverwinter Nights.

Started playing Neverwinter Nights back in November '05 and got hooked. Tried to write my own module, but I just didn't have the time. Maybe I'll try again someday.

Bad Weekend

Had planned to do a lot of work on the module this weekend, and ended up doing very little. Slept late on Saturday, and then my allergies took a lot out of me. I didn't start until the evening, and hoped to work out the music-switching problem following the suggestion of scripting a user-defined event for the area. However, I wasn't quite able to figure out what to do. I still don't really truly grasp the logic of scripting, and so even though I read the lexicon entries over and over again, I couldn't quite figure out what was going on. This sent my frustration meter through the roof. I tried to switch over to item scripting, using the scripting guide, a sample script I lifed from a module, and a script generator. Problem is that they all seem to be doing things differently, and I couldn't figure out how to do exactly what I wanted, so finally I just gave up.

The next morning I tried again, and I figured out how to do item scripting, so I made a couple of custom items and placed them in the module. That's all the work I did. Next weekend is a 3-day weekend for me, so hopefully I'll get more caught up.
