Re-describing Waterdeep

Dalvyn · Post by **Dalvyn** » Sun Feb 04, 2007 5:35 pm

I would like to issue a call to all soft and hard builders who would be interested in rewriting the (currently rather plain) room descriptions of Waterdeep.

The idea is that the new descriptions would be written directly online, on the test port. There would be a few sessions of 2 or 3 hours now and then where you could log on the test port and work on the descriptions.

If you are interested in helping with this project, please post below. Thanks.

Big surprise

Altough I am pretty busy lately, I think I can find some time to sneak in to help out.

I would also like to offer my help. Mostly in renaming inns and tavern throughout the deep.

I am willing to throw in my aid here.

Sounds like fun... count me in

If you want a head start, feel free to start writing description in a text file. That will allow you to simply copy/paste them into the game once we start.

If you start working on a particular street (I'm fine with several rooms having exactly the same description, e.g., the rooms corresponding to the same "street") or a specific shop/building, please post below, so the same rooms do get described twice.

Bumping this up.

If the test port is up, we will have first sessions of re-describing on the following days:

Thursday March 22, starting at this time and going on for 3 hours.

Saturday March 24, starting at this time and going on for 2 hours (before the Ardeep roleplay).

I'll be unable to attend the session tomorrow, sorry, I have to leave for something that starts at exactly the mentioned time.

If you are interested in taking part in the session tomorrow and can make it, please post below.

(Just so I know whether I need to show up or not

Laura (Layna) and myself will be there!

You know, provided we don't manage to break FK in the meantime...

Gwain · Post by **Gwain** » Thu Mar 22, 2007 12:29 pm

I'll be there.

Amalia · Post by **Amalia** » Thu Mar 22, 2007 12:59 pm

I'm on board-- if I can get directions for logging on, that is, as I've never done it

Lathlain · Post by **Lathlain** » Thu Mar 22, 2007 6:00 pm

Eek! A bit late, I know, but if you've not already been told - Attempt to connect in the same way as normal (Same address and whatnot), but use 4500 as the port number instead of 4000.

Amalia · Post by **Amalia** » Thu Mar 22, 2007 7:23 pm

Thanks for the tip-- I tried to connect, and got in, but it didn't recognize my account name for the 4000 port. I recreated it, but got the same list of options as one gets for regular FK, and I'm not sure where to go from there-- should I make a character through which to do whatever it is we do on the testport?

Yup yup, create a new character and go from there. Use the 'chat' command to say you're here, or the question command if that doesn't work, and hopefully someone will be around to sort you out

The first session went well, with Lathlain, Layna, Gwain, and Amalia showing up. Thanks for each of you!

For those who are interested in coming to the next session (on Saturday), please check the sticky (HOWTO) in this forum!

Sorry for the long silence. I have not given up on the project

Hopefully, we can set up another session soon enough. I'm mostly waiting for the command list to be fixed so it's easier to move around. As usual, feel free to prepare descriptions in a text file, so you can simply copy/paste them into the area!

Thanks for your help!
