Some changes for Hordes.
Full Multiplayer Support
The modules are partially coded for multiplayer. Earlier stuff more than later. Things like cutscenes kinda work, with player 1 being the main one.
What's missing is several times the party as a whole is not teleported/transported to the next location, plus some other scripting that doesn't take into account other players.
This mod apparently fixes it, need to diff this: https://neverwintervault.org/rolovault/projects/nwn1/scripts/2072/
More Companions
Would be like other campaigns expanding the number of companions. It already supports 2 so most of the coding is there for more. Difficulty would dive off a cliff however.
Current companions are below. Their packages are actually complete and could be made available for PCs - even with translated TLK lines otherwise unseen.
| Companion | Available Chapters As Companion | Classes | Package(s) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deekin Scalesinger | 1, 2, 3 | Bard / Dragon Disciple | 71 / 117 ("Healer, Bard") | Package name does imply Deekin used to not have a second class (ie Dragon Disciple). |
| Sharwyn | 1 | Bard / Fighter | 106 / 114 ("Sworddancer, Bard") | The package title "Sworddancer (sic)" may suggest it's a 3.0E prestige class called "Sword Dancer", but since it's one word really like "Healer, Bard" it's just a nice description since the prestige class needs divine casting anyway. |
| Linu La'neral | 1 | Cleric | 104 ("Cleric, Support") | No second class but they dummied out Fighter as an option. |
| Daelan Red Tiger | 1 | Barbarian | 105 ("Barbarian, Balanced") | No second class but they were thinking of using Druid, which is interesting at least. Kinda rubbish though since he'd get barely any spells in Chapter 1. |
| Tomi Grin Undergallows | 1 | Rogue / Shadowdancer | 103 / 117 ("Rogue, Shadowdancer (dual-wielding kukri)") | |
| Valen Shadowbreath | 2, 3 | Fighter / Weapon Master | 102 / 113 ("Fighter, Weapon Master (Heavy Flail)") | |
| Nathyrraa | 2, 3 | Wizard / Rogue (1) / Assassin | 101 / 115 ("Wizard, Assassin") 8 (default Rogue package) is used for the single rogue level. | Special code does the one level of rogue that allows Assassin from then on. |
| Aribeth | 3 | Paladin / Blackguard | Paladin - 129 ("Aribeth, Paladin") Blackguard - 130 ("Aribeth, Blackguard") | Interestingly the description of the packages is reused from line 107 ("Paladin, Falling") an unused which probably was Aribeths original package ("This paladin package represents a paladin who is tempted by the forces of evil, slowly being corrupted to become a blackguard."). It implies she'd be tempted to become evil over time - but her changes are a little more abrupt in the campaign. The lines are actually identical in content to line 107 so 3 lines have the same stuff in them but just different class IDs. |
