Hmmm, I'm not sure about this idea. I like the fact that you could be fighting more people, but i dislike the idea that this would create more confsuion. I don't mind what is decided, they both have there advanatages/disadvanatages. ;)
You might see me playing on EW with these accounts: Brandon the Brave, Sebastien Astar and Narthan Astar.

If you are new to EW, feel free to ask me questions.

lol seb the 2 way teams we have now have advantages/disadvantages so its not like rary has nothing to lose if we try it out for like a week or so to see what people say about it

and if they dont like it for some reason rary could turn it into a DM team where a DM could join the team but not fight anyone and just watch over the server or somthing if they didnt want to play........just an idea

Well this is scripting hell for 3 teams. Every script on the game is geared for 2 teams, so adding 3 changes everything. I think its too complicated right now.

Main issues:
Every script needs changed. About 100 of them.
Balance issues worse than you'll have now.
For me, the RAM and file will increase 33% in size.

I don't want to sound like I hate the idea. I like it, I'm just thinking reasonable right now.

Its not that I can't script it. Its just something I need to add to scripts. Some scripts are already to the max, like end of round script.

Yep, if NWN was 64 bit then I'd be nicer.

cant you link a script to another script or somthing along the lines like that so you can make it bigger?

because theres a person on NWN that has somthing like 15 servers up at the same time and they are pretty big with lots of things you can do on them or must that person have lots of comps lol

I have all the scripts currently in a nice neat order. It just takes some lines to accomplish little things. A small script to do poison flask is like 43 lines of code.

Do that 3 team thing only in some maps. Big maps like hills of coo (if it exists anymore) or, neverwinter forest etc..
I'm upgrading my standard of living from outside the hole in the back alleys of poland!

-Thx Casas, maybe i should try that. But Finland isnt back alley of Poland...
