    Here are today's BioWare forum highlights, collected by NWVault. Please take into account that these are only single parts of various threads and should not be taken out of context. Bear in mind also that the posts presented here are copied as-is, and that any bad spelling and grammar does not get corrected on our end.

    Experience broken again in v1.62
    XP distribution in the official HotU campaign is intentionally different from all other modules. It's using a seperate branch in the XP code that only kicks in if you play the HotU campaign modules.

    no text, labels, nothing - is this right?

    ---------------
    When I start up NWServer.exe there isn't any text on the GUI. So, I don't know what the checkmarks do, I don't know what any of the fields in the drop-down boxes are, I can see an IP address with a port number, but that's it. Please tell me this is not normal, and there's a fix. I'm running HOTU, SoU, and ver 1.62.8047 on an Intel 2.3 with 512 MB RAM and WinXP Thanks
    ---------------

    Your dialog.tlk file that contains all the text for the game is corrupted.

    Uh Oh! 254 Loadscreen Limit - Bioware???
    Hey. You should indeed pad your .2da file if you modify it, it is possible that you see new loadscreens in the future. As for changing the limit, I suggest sending a bug report to nwbugs@bioware.com, even if it's not technically a bug, we are still removing hardcoded limits from the engine from time to time.

    Max tilesets limit : a thrue problem!!

    ---------------
    Same Problem here !! Our Development Team is forced to wait for 1.63 ... Hope that they 'll release Beta1 1.63 ASAP !! We REALLY need this nasty Bug removed ...
    ---------------

    Yepp, the limit has been raised in 1.63. It is NOT a bug however - and we can not recommend using that many different tilesets in the same module as the memory requirements on the server will be significant, especially when using some of the popular "all in one" tilesets. Walkmesh data for different tiles is held in memory so creatures can perform movement operations even when the player is not around and while this is not really a problem when just using a couple of tilesets, it will become very expensive if you go overboard with your tileset usage.

    Can DM's read player tells?

    ---------------
    DM's recieve messages pretty much the exact same way as PC's with 1 notable exception. A DM can hear ALL party speaks. So if you have 3 groups running around it ccan get rather spammy.
    ---------------

    If you are getting spammed with too much chat, you can right click on the bar at the top of the chat window and filter out differen't types of messages.
