Hello Everyone,

Well first off, I would like to say awesome site. Tons of information here thats well written, easy to understand, and applicable. So kudos to the powers that be here.

You all can call me Jericho, and I've been playing Nwn for awhile now. And after a long time, my rl/tabletop friends and I have decided to Make our own server, Baised off our Tabletop Game. As the one with the most toolsetting experience, and the online experience, it kinda falls to me by default to be the builder.

I've DM'd for an online server now for about two years, made a few area's, lots of items and creatures, so im not unfamilar with toolsetting in itself. However, my glaring weak point is that dreaded word.. Scripting.

I can make any sort of area i visuallize in my head, but where I fall short unfortunately is Scripting. Ive tried looking online everyhere for a "how to" guide of sorts, but sadly there is none, at least from what i can see. So if its not too much of a bother, Some help would be greatly appreciated in this area.

I know theres literally, hundreds of scripts aviable, but starting off, I only want the essentials. Basically these~

A Death Script~ Nothing fancy or Hard to do. Just one that stops the players from spamming respawn. Something that takes a bit of Experience, Gold, and moves them to another itemtag location in a different area would be perfect.

Door Closeing Script~ Ive got this one, recieved it from a friend. A must have for any doors requireing locks.

A "Cleanup" script~ The server I DM for has something like this, basically if a player isnt in an area for 3-4 minutes, it deletes all non-perma creatures, loot bags, placeables, etc. Helps tremendously with the lag. So id really like something like this for my server.

Merchants/Npc Scripts~ Ive tried, many times, to create stores and Npc Conversations, as well as waypoints to make the guards walk about, but nothing works. I remember seeing somewhere on these forums people mentioning a Merchant Guide, and I've looked for it, but I cant seem to Find it.

So, in short, if anyone here has any know-how or where to get these and apply them, it would be terrific~

A simple death script, a cleanup script, and basically i need a crash course in NPC scripting. If theres a site out there somewhere that i can look all this stuff up, great. Because I have "zero" scripting experience. Only copy/pasting the door-close script and thats really about it. There are lots of other things I would love to learn how to do, but those are the "gotta haves" for a server.

Any help in this would be greatly appreciated. One thing I always liked about the NwN community, is that people are friendly and help each other out, least from what ive seen over the years.

Thank you for your time, and keep up the awesome work. Fantastic Site.
