@Puffy said in Draco / Garen Estelle / Crimson Guard:

Made an effort, getting involved IG

Yeah, Draco always tries to involve others in his own way. So I'm always in favor (unless its something I really don't think he can pull it off).

Topic Title: DracoS /Garen Estelle / Crimson Guard Membership
1). Human/ Cleric/fighter / NG / 8/ Garen Estelle
2). Crimson Guard
3). Garens agenda is fairly simple. Protect the church of Lathander and its members from religious prosecution by the Vigilante Sun by actively supporting Jastyne as the champion of liberty and trying to limit attempts by the Vigilante Sun to take power.

While his main interest is protecting Lathanderites, he understands that taking a stance to protect the rights of other faiths and cults, as well as any races that suffer discrimination is likely to win him more support from the general population and Jastyne herself than just fighting for Lathaderites.

Being also aware that he's a priest of a god that's not Tempus or his allies, he's not keen to start a fight with Thane by trying to convert Jastyne and is eager to try and win Drakebane respect (and support) by acting like her idea of a elite solider and assisting her with her goals. By doing these things he should safeguard his position in the Crimson Guard.

As a Crimson Guard Garen will of course be kick arse quite aggressively, since he's also a Priest of Lathander, he has bias toward going after undead threats.

Long term he would like to broker a political alliance between the Temple of Lathander in Eveningstar and the Crimson Guard to give his church a secure future. Garen himself is a native of said town, so known vaguely by the temple already. Through he's unlikely to be able to realise this goal as a mere Fang, he be looking for ways to lay down groundwork for the future from the off.
ta da!

Quick How-to about how to update HAK files and keep a version control.

1. Download and keep a backup of the Original HAK.

1.1. Log in using Filezilla (or any other preferred tool), download the server HAK, for this example we'll be using CEP2_TOP_2_65 since its the only one we are using.

1.2. Rename the working HAK file, that you just downloaded, following the pattern "pre_ddMMYYY".
Example: CEP2_TOP_2_65_pre_18042020.hak this way if we find an issue and want to rollback we'll know which HAK file we should rollback to.

1.3. Make a forum entry (https://nodebb.cityofarabel.com/category/382/2da-status) for the corresponding CEP version explaining what changed:

1.4. Upload the new renamed HAK file (CEP2_TOP_65_pre_ddmmyyyy.hak) to the server, this way we keep one backup copy in the server itself.

2. Upload the desired HAK file.

2.1. Access the server through PuTTY Login: arabel (or aradev for the Dev server).

2.2. Stop the server using the Command:

server stop

2.3. Upload the desired HAK using Filezilla to the server, you'll be asked to overwrite the file, confirm.

2.4. Refresh the NWSync so the players can download the new HAK automatically when they log through the command:

nwsync_refresh.sh

The refresh command takes around 5 minutes to run, just wait it finish.

2.5. Start the server using the PuTTY command:

server start

3. Update Builders OneDrive/Repository.

3.1. Access the Builder's OneDrive/Repository (https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=!AMcbuMmAHPdA2UM&id=76F1F48A4AB98B5D!62709&cid=F8A0547DBEC2F724)

3.2. Go to "City of Arabel > Team Haks > ham " and uploaded the recent HAK file, this way builders will have access to it.

3.3. Go to the "City of Arabel > Team Haks > hak > 2da Version Control" and upload the now renamed original server Hak for version control.

Darlene, can you please be so kind to try to use Polymorph through normal mouse-menu interface?

I fear the ".ps" command won't work for now so it forces you to use the default shape (Werewolf).

We'll redo polymorph spell, so we'll update the ".ps" command once we are done with the spell. Until that, please use the radial menu (vanilla).

Should be fixed next reset.

-- NOT! Still working on it

Confirmed Fix.
