Hacks!
Is this feedback? I don't even know. While enhanced edition has made things harder in some ways, it definitely makes it easier for players to instal hacks and play with them. What was before a daunting challenge is now as easy as entering the steam workship and searching Arelith. Perhaps the distant shores server should be left hackless so random folks can still access the server and find out what Arelith is all about. But having played on Ravenloft it is pretty obvious that there are some pretty sweet hacks out there and it has a lot of great potential for the server. So let's dig up the grave on this good old discussion and discuss hacks.

Re: Hacks!
I think it has been said and decided that when the auto hak downloader comes out Arelith would incoperate some Haks that are reasonable. Since Irongron has already shown off some hak made city content I assume they are ready to move on this when things become accessible.
Which is cool, because yes, there are some -amazing- Haks and arelith would benefit a -ton- from having them.

Re: Hacks!
Yeeh I do remember that testing with mods on arelith at one point.
I do think with how the game is at the moment and it runs like trash, I don't think using mods is a good idea even if you can get 100 fps in one area I tend to drop to 20 in the tower back then I used to get 60 in DE but in EE it's allround crap fps lol.
But if it's made for Arelith and Arelith alone that would be cool if you think about it

Re: Hacks!
The plan since last i've seen is have a part of the server with Haks and that the Haks would be used but within reason nothing too much game changing,that might have changed though.It was put on halt for the EE transition
But yeah,the team seems to be waiting for the IG tool that downloads automatically haks for servers to come out of the dev build.

Also,i think it's best you use the word Haks lol just to not be confused with actual hacks

I just want the classic head and clothing options added, that most RP servers used to roll with back in the day.
Re: Hacks!
Steam isn't very reliable; I've been using it for Anemoi and need to still have a manual download option for the many people for whom steam doesn't work as simply as it should.
nwsync should fix this though, and make haks easy and viable. Fingers firmly crossed.

Re: Hacks!
I would look at some of the Hak content before dismissing them as disruptive. If servers like Ravenloft which do run smoothly with huge hak usage we are really missing out on a ton on content.
One thing is just cosmetics, there are a ton of neat armour models that would add a lot of flavor and way more cosmetic options.

Re: Hacks!
I just want the cavalier hat with a feather so I can properly play a rapier weapon master from Cormyr. Those who have messed with CEP or played on some other servers, will know exactly which hat I'm taking about.

Re: Hacks!
Some things from PotM I miss include:
-The short cloaks where you can dye the bottom half mirror and it becomes transparent, giving you a short cloak.
- There's a cool looking satchel.
- HOLDABLE BOOKS! And umbrellas are pretty cool too, I like whipping them out once it starts raining. You can see books in the next screenshot
- HATS. The CEP feather hat as was previously said, but the wizard hat is great too.
- MORE COATS! There's a lot of really great robe models.
- CLOTHING! Vests! Suspenders!
- HEADS!
- There are some cool animations they have as well. Animations can be combined with holding objects as well:

Re: Hacks!
Great post to show folks how great the hacks can be. This is potentially just a small piece of the treat things they may allow us to achieve.
Re: Hacks!
Really looking forward to the release of NWsync and what improvements arelith will be bringing to the table

Re: Hacks!
I'm looking forward to new clothing options, with the unlimited possibilities with Arelith's single body part colour dying system.

Re: Hacks!
I really want to see haks for classes and mechanics, first thing.
Updated spell/feat descriptions? Yes please! An actual warlock class? Yes please!
As for cosmetic stuff, I'd like to see a broader variety of weapons and new animations in general. I can live without clothing and new head models, mainly because many of them are done in a fairly different way from NWN.

Re: Hacks!
It would also be nice to see more custom arelith spells similar to the -scry -teleport and the -project_image commands it can lead to very interesting rp and QoL content

Re: Hacks!
We'd want, at first, to add icons and proper classes with Haks making it look better and try and avoid spells with commands. Adding new spells as well would go a long way. Small things like customisation like new clothing and weapon parts also goes a long way for relatively small size compared to bunch of new tilesets.

Re: Hacks!
tbh many of the CEP customisations I've seen look a little to warcrafty to fit into Arelith' look and feel imo. Others look super wonky and make the game look even more dated than it already does.
I hope you Devs continue to have a good feeling for what to introduce, and what to trash.

Re: Hacks!
Some of the clothing haks are really great, but some .. not so much. My only hope is that there is some restraint in the designs that are chosen to be added to Arelith so that nothing seems grossly out of place.
