After a long and twisted road you finally have in your hands on the most up to date collection of community work for NWN. I’m sure what you create with this content will far exceed anything we have imagined! For those of you who are new to the CEP, let me take a moment to describe its contents. This is a collection of hak packs from the previous six years of custom content, designed to work with BioWare's Neverwinter Nights. These hak packs have been grouped and modified to work together for the betterment of the NWN community as a whole. You’ll find some of the best and most popular work available for NWN. Please join me and the rest of the CEP Team in thanking every person who has created this content for the community’s use. Now, the CEP Team hasn't just sat back and mashed these haks into one huge collection of material. As you look through the content you’ll notice model, animation and texture corrections, new scripts, and completely new content unique to the CEP itself.

  • Viewed, Quest Patterns in Scriptease Provide the Most Functionality
    University of Alberta Quest Patterns for Story-Based Video Games by Marcus Alexander Trenton A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Department of Computing Science © Marcus Alexander Trenton Fall 2009 Edmonton, Alberta Permission is hereby granted to the University of Alberta Libraries to reproduce single copies of this thesis and to lend or sell such copies for private, scholarly or scientific research purposes only.

Examining Committee Duane Szafron, Computing Science Jonathan Schaeffer, Computing Science Mike Carbonaro, Faculty of Education Abstract As video game designers focus on immersive interactive stories, the number of game object interactions grows exponentially. Most games use manually- programmed scripts to control object interactions, although automated techniques for generating scripts from high-level specifications are being introduced. For example, ScriptEase provides designers with generative patterns that inject commonly-occurring interactions into games. ScriptEase patterns generate scripts for the game Neverwinter Nights. A kind of generative pattern, the quest pattern, generates scripting code controlling the plot in story-based games. I present my additions to the quest pattern architecture (meta quest points and abandonable subquests), a catalogue of quest patterns, and the results of two studies measuring their effectiveness.

  • A Neverwinter Nights 2 Module by Richard Ericksen About This Module
    a Neverwinter Nights 2 module by Richard Ericksen About this module Passing Through Lorren is a module I’ve created to demonstrate, basically, that I can create a module. I’m looking to break into the gaming industry, specifically into making MMOs. I’ve written up documentation on ideas I’ve had on boss encounters or specific facets of gameplay in general, but have been told that the best way to focus my energies is by grab- bing a toolset and showing that I can put the tools to work to back up my writing. I’ve worked professionally with computers for years, and feel that a strength of mine is the ability to just grab a new program and start flipping levers and twisting knobs; digging through help files to figure out what does what. Learning a new program is a huge turn fof to some people, especially if they resent that the new version made most of what they just struggled to learn in the previous version obsolete. I’m the guy that’s eagerly downloading new betas to see what cool new stuff they’ve packed in. I love trying to find multiple ways to do the same task using different tools at hand, and I approach difficult situations with the knowledge that there’s usually a better way to go about it. Some quests included in this module are of the vanilla MMO ‘standard fare’. Kill ten rats, go fetch five spores. These portions of the module are me sitting in the driver’s seat of a car during a driving test.

  • AI-Controlled Life in Role-Playing Games by Bertil Jeppsson DV1303
    Bachelor's thesis in computer science spring 2008 AI-controlled life in Role-playing games by Bertil Jeppsson DV1303 supervised by Johan Hagelbäck This thesis is submitted to the Department of Interaction and System Design at Blekinge Institute of Technology in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Bachelor degree in Computer Science. The thesis is equivalent to 10 weeks of full time studies. Contact Information Name: Bertil Jeppsson Address: Folkparksvägen 17:19 Postal code: 37240 City: Ronneby School e-mail: [email protected] Home e-mail: [email protected] Mobile phone: 0730-307793 Acknowledgements I want to thank my supervisor for all the help and support through the project. It wouldn't have been possible without his guidance. I also want to thank my family, my girlfriend and my friends for all support and encouragement throughout the work process. I'd also like to thank the makers of the nwnlexicon [nwnlex], a good API documentation of NWscript which I have visited many times whilst working. Other builders of Neverwinter Nights 2 modules on Bioware's builder forums [nwn2bf] also deserves credit for answering questions I've posted about problems I encountered during the implementation phase. I'd also like to make an acknowledgement that is unrelated to the thesis work itself, but has been an affecting factor personally to me throughout the work. My grand father passed away during this all. May he rest in peace! Abstract Will more realistic behaviour among non-playing characters (NPCs) in a role-playing game(RPG) improve the overall feeling of the game for the player? Would players notice the enhanced life of a NPC in a role-playing game, or is the time spent in cities and villages insufficient to notice any difference at all? There are plenty best-selling RPGs with simplistic, repetitive NPC behaviour on the market.
