The RPGDot NWN website
   

Who would want to help out on a NWN website? It will be hosted by RPGDot of course.

The design of the site will be similar to our Gothic and Morrowind sites. So basically you'll get a predesigned site, which already is updated with newsbits on a regular basis via RPGDot.

The only thing you would have to worry about is content, like walkthroughs, hints, tips, cheats, maps, mods etc. etc. etc.
No real html knowledge is required as you are not going to layput stuff. The only html you'll need to know is how to format things, like making text bold and stuff like that. So it's not that difficult really.

What is required is time. You should be willing to invest enough time to create the content for the site.

I really need a couple of volunteers to work on this in order to make it a success. So if you are interested, give a response here, send a pm an e-mail or chat to me.

That all depends on what you want to do. Making a list of cheats and formatting it, will take you 30 mins. Making a map and annotating it, will prolly take you an hour, including uploading it (depends on the map)
Making a quest list, will take you longer. etc. etc. etc.

Something needs to be done on a regular basis to make the site being 'alive'. The more the merrier and tasks can be split up.

Besides OhBrandi, Rawis has also agreed on joining.

I have a template for Dreamweaver that allows to create the pages more easily. Like always, nothing is simple, but it's not that hard once you understand how things work.

You'll never have to access the site directly to upload any pages. Everything is done via our database interface, including the upload of text pages. All menus are generated (semi)automatically after that. So the layout never needs to be changed either.
If you are using Dreamweaver than you can basically use it with only a very limited html knowledge.

I’ve been out in the sun lately so I didn’t see this before.

Yes, I would be interested in helping out. I’m a computer scientist so I know a little bit about this and that, including HTML and of course - I love NWN.

I got plenty of time on my hand until September where I’ll head back to more studies.

Alright. Arkray is working on the design of it. I'll will create the site soon and upload a temporary design. You can then start working on things and create some content.

As there are atleast three of you. I'll appoint one of you as the one in 'charge', which doesn't mean all that much actually

Oh no you don't, LonePaladin! Content is what we need. So, take a few extra minutes while you are going thru a quest to jot down all the interesting things, type it into an email and send it to me. I'll pretty it up and voila! And the even better thing is that even if I make it look ugly, Myrthos will clean up behind me. As long as he doesn't have to try every permutation of every character type and quest then take meticulous notes, Myrthos will be happy.

So PLEASE? Just expand a bit on the notes you already take and we'll colaborate on the walkthru's.

Well here is a thought: Why not create a mod for NWN, an RPGDot mod, where the NPCs and critters are members of the forum for example.
I think we have all the skills here with the different forum member that is needed for doing something like this.
