Cause when i started they didnt have the auto install hacks working. I guess from what i heard there is some sort of auto start batch file in it that allows one to bypass gamespy? Where i can i get this?

Try this.
Open Notepad
type or copy in the following
nwmain.exe +connect avlis.blackdagger.net:xxxx +password pppp
where xxxx is the port of the server you want and
where pppp is the password for the server
Then save the file as "Connect to <Insert Avlis Server name>.bat" (with the double quotes) in the nwn folder of the neverwinter nights game directory.
Double click it and voila

Do not post the password...please edit this out!

you have it almost correct.
You still have to have the word "password"
So, +password XXXXXXXXXX
its still not working

"Connect to <Insert Avlis Server name>.bat" <-----Is that a file that should already be in my nwn folder cause if it is i dont have that file? And if it is a file and i dont have it where can i get it?

Scroll up, and look at this....
nwmain.exe +connect avlis.blackdagger.net:xxxx +password pppp
Create this file through your Notepad, then save it as <Insert Avlis Server>.bat
Get it?
ok got it figured out

i saved this first <insert server name here>
Then i realized it needed to be the server name (duh)
So i put this in <avlis.blackdagger.net> (exactly) and that didnt work.
Now if you would of said to save it as the server name, or <insert the servers name> , and remove the less then/more then arrows that would of saved me some posting here. Apparently windows dont like saving less then/more then arrows

what I meant was to save a file for each server you want and name them accordingly.
So you might have files called
Connect to Ferrell.bat
Connect to Le'Or.bat
Connect to Elysia.bat
etc....

Windows 9x and Win2003 come with a handy little program called "choice.exe". You can also find it in the WinXP/Win2K resource kits.
It lets you make menus from simple batch files. Here is one I created, I named it StartAvlis.bat ...
Code: Select all
cd \NeverwinterNights\NWN
rem save the chat log
FOR /F "tokens=1-4 delims=/ " %%I IN ('DATE /t') DO SET mydate=%%L%%J%%K
FOR /F "tokens=1-3 delims=: " %%I IN ('TIME /t') DO SET mytime=%%I%%J%%K
copy logs\nwclientlog1.txt logs\%mydate%%mytime%.txt
@echo off
SET SERVER=avlis.blackdagger.net
:start
cls
echo ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ»
echo º Avlis Servers º
echo ÌÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ͹
echo º 1. Elysia º
echo º 2. Mikona º
echo º 3. Leor º
echo º 4. Wilderness º
echo º 5. Ferrell º
echo º 6. Deglos º
echo º 7. Kuras º
echo º 9. Exit º
echo ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ
choice /c 123456789
if errorlevel 9 goto exit
if errorlevel 7 goto Kuras
if errorlevel 6 goto Deglos
if errorlevel 5 goto Ferrell
if errorlevel 4 goto Wilderness
if errorlevel 3 goto Leor
if errorlevel 2 goto Mikona
if errorlevel 1 goto Elysia
:Elysia
nwmain.exe +connect %SERVER%:5123 +password pwd
GOTO exit
:Mikona
nwmain.exe +connect %SERVER%:5121 +password pwd
GOTO exit
:Leor
nwmain.exe +connect %SERVER%:5124 +password pwd
GOTO exit
:Wilderness
nwmain.exe +connect %SERVER%:5122 +password pwd
GOTO exit
:Deglos
nwmain.exe +connect %SERVER%:5125 +password pwd
GOTO exit
:Ferrell
nwmain.exe +connect %SERVER%:5126 +password pwd
GOTO exit
:Kuras
nwmain.exe +connect %SERVER%:5127 +password pwd
GOTO exit
:exit
cd\
cls
The top part just renames the chat log to the date and time so I have them for furture reference, the rest is just the menu. I have only tried this on Windows XP SP2 so I can't say if it works on other Windows versions.
Replace pwd with the password from your Acceptance email.
I have a similar one for all the Copap servers.
If anyone wants to try it and can't find choice.exe (I think its on microsoft's site too) and trusts a stranger to send you an exe (evil laugh) PM me and I will send it to you or put it up on my web site.
