Cross server communication: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 08:56, 15 January 2023

While BGTSCC runs on 2 or more servers there are additional systems in place to make sure people can still interact with each other even when playing on different servers.

Cross server scry

The default nwn2 player list and player chat will only list the people who are on the same server as you. However the scry will display all players regardless of which server they are on (unless, of course, they have decided to hide themselves).

Players on the same server as you will be listed first in alphabetical order. Thereafter players from other servers are listed.

If another server crashes it can take a couple of minutes before the players from that server are cleared from the scry.

Cross server chat

Messages across servers will show up as server messages. If you really want to you can also use these command to communicate with people on the same server.

If you mistype a name the server will warn you. However since there's a few seconds delay in the communication between servers it cannot know with 100% certainty if the player you tried to reach exists or not, and will attempt to send the message regardless.

Character

To send a message to another character use either of the following:

>crosstell "character name" message

>ct "character name" message

Example:

>ct "Mat Cauthon" Beautiful lace!

Player

To send a message to another player use either of the following:

>crosstellplayer "player name" message

>ctp "player name" message

Example:

>ctp "WotFan" I need a hero.

Reply

To reply to the last person who messaged you, write:

>ctr message

Example:

>ctr Almost dead yesterday, maybe dead tomorrow, but alive, gloriously alive, today.

Resend

To send again to the last person you sent a message to, write:

>ctre message

Shout (DM only)

To send to everyone on both servers, write:

>ctshout message

Alternate chat type

Normally cross server chat messages appear as a message sent from the server. If you prefer you can also receive messages as if they were sent by your own character (but never the actual sending character since they aren't avaliable for sending messages on that server). To try the alternate method write:

>cttogglechattype

-Infinite level 30 characters and 2x Gold
+While BGTSCC runs on 2 or more servers there are additional systems in place to make sure people can still interact with each other even when playing on different servers.
-Use the command !:hair in a 100% RCR period and abuse of it around 5 to 10 times changes. The database will be a bit bussy creating your new data and then you will use the RCR NPC, which will storage your XP and gold but won't delete your character because of server issues.
-This exploit can also be used to create infinite lvl 20s if there's no 100% RCR period. It's working up to date. I used it myself recently.
+== Cross server scry ==
+The default nwn2 player list and player chat will only list the people who are on the same server as you. However the '''scry''' will display all players regardless of which server they are on (unless, of course, they have decided to hide themselves).
-Infinite Items
+Players on the same server as you will be listed first in alphabetical order. Thereafter players from other servers are listed.
-The system of view items while stored creates a copy of the blueprint on the ground that later on dissapears, but if you disconnect before it deletes itself it remains on the ground, allowing you to generate duplicates of the items. Just spam the view button, ctrl + F4 and voilà, you've created 50 stacks of 99 beetle pincers worth over 120K in a single second and no one will notice because that NPC eats the items and no list shown for sale.
-Infinite Blind-Fight
+If another server crashes it can take a couple of minutes before the players from that server are cleared from the scry.
-When you cast the ranger spell "Embrace the Wild" a hide item is created and automatically equipped. This one's a bit worse but if you time it correctly and move while the item is getting equiped it will remain in your inventory and you will have an item that gives you blind-fight and +5 spot for free for the next 24 minutes. You can also repeat this as many times as you want even if you rest. You can use all your lvl 1 spell spaces to stack these items, rest and you will get like 5 of those in a row. Unfortunately they get deleted if you cross server or if server gets a reset
-Extra attack every round
+== Cross server chat ==
-This is not that worth at higher levels but very useful until we hit BAB 16 and only works if you are a melee vs melee.
-We have to be a bit technical here. In NWN2, the engine works this way:
+Messages across servers will show up as server messages. If you really want to you can also use these command to communicate with people on the same server.
-turn: 10 rounds
+If you mistype a name the server will warn you. However since there's a few seconds delay in the communication between servers it cannot know with 100% certainty if the player you tried to reach exists or not, and will attempt to send the message regardless.
-round: 6 seconds
-In those six seconds you make your full round attack, and every attack from your flurry is one attack every 6/n seconds, being "n" the number of attacks you can make per round, and your round starts when that attack happens, and if you move, you end your round for the rest of those 6 seconds.
-What can we do with this? Well, when our BAB is lower than 6 it means we make our first attack at moment 0 and we have close to 6 seconds (animation is irrelevant) to press "S" and spam "A" and "D" which will force the foe to walk forward, provoking an opportunity attack that's hardcoded and cannot be fixed or changed and that only can be done once per round so it's best situation is in 1v1, which makes your flurry be AB/AB.
+=== Character ===
+To send a message to another character use either of the following:
-When we hit our BAB 6, we can make our flurry AB/-5/AB, but the timing is slightly harder because now we do not have 6 seconds to provoke it but only around 3 seconds. When we hit our BAB 11 it's the same but it's harder to time it since it's now only 2 seconds, being AB/-5/-10/AB
+>crosstell "character name" message
-A master player could even time it for monk, who makes an attack every 6/8 seconds, so it's hard as hell to time that, being possible mathematically, but you won't be able to manage to do it becuase of human limitations.
+>ct "character name" message
-Now, what about a Northlander Hewing BAB 30 character with 30 strength? They get 2/3 of their attacks = 4 attacks per round in exchange of +40 damage if they hit all of them. Well, we can make it now into 5/6 x 6 = 5, and 4 attacks are not that hard to time.
+Example:
-And to be honest, even if you have 6 attacks per round you might want to sacrifice your last 2 since they are -20/-25 for just one extra attack with your full AB
+>ct "Mat Cauthon" Beautiful lace!
-Normal flurry: AB/-5/-10/-15/-20/-25
-Extra Attack forced flurry sacrificing last 2: AB/-5/-10/-15/AB
-Extra Attack forced flurry with perfect timing sacrificing just last 1: AB/-5/-10/-15/-20/AB
-It's way more worth against high AC enemies since those 2 attacks rarely ever hit. I'd rather get 1d20 + 45 than [1d20 +25 + 1d20 +20]
-Infinite HP exploit:
+=== Player ===
-To use this exploit you are required to have even HP and 2 objects that have extra odd constitution. For this exploit to be abused you need to equip your first item. This will be the one that trigger the exploit once we abuse the second one. By putting our second odd constitution item in our hotbar we can click on it as many times as we want and it will increase our HP an amount equal to our level. I recommend you to use my personal script made through autohotkey to avoid damaging your keyboard:
+To send a message to another player use either of the following:
-!F1::
+>crosstellplayer "player name" message
- toggle:=!toggle
- While toggle{
-   Send 7
-   Sleep 100
- }
-Return
-esc::
-Suspend, Off
-Pause, Off, 1
-If (toggle := !toggle) {
- Suspend, On
- Pause, On, 1
-}
-With this script activated once you press Alt + F1 the game will start to spam to equip and unequip your item in the 7th slot in your hotbar at a rate of 5 times per second, which means that if you leave it on for one minute at level 30 you will get: 5 (times per second) x 60 (Seconds) x 30 (Level) = 9000 HP
+>ctp "player name" message
-Second and third way to get infinite lvl 30s with 2x gold. I'll keep these as a secret for if the first one is fixed.
+Example:
+>ctp "WotFan" I need a hero.
