Hello,
My friend and I recently beat the NWN OC and are looking to keep playing NWN. My problem is, I'm not sure how.
We play at my house, on my laptop and PC. We logged into Amia last night and I got excited at the idea, it seems like a mini MMO? Only problem is, we couldn't both log in at the same time.
I was wondering if this is a normal problem, or if its fixable. In the rules it says you can't dual box, so I thought maybe we were banned because someone thought we were dual boxing since we were on the same internet connection? I'm really not sure.
I am really interested in playing, and would even be willing to donate if it's as fun as it seems. But how do we play without being booted? What is it we would be doing if we fixed it?
Do we need the CEP? We just downloaded it last night figuring that apparently we need it for everything.
Are you using the same CD key or Username? If so, you need a seperate CDkey/Username to play at the same time.
If it's just that you were booted, it's most likely been after a reset, where the server Auto-boots you until it is stable enough to allow players to go in and play, which is usually when the side bar says "Last reset: 2 mins ago".

If your behind a router, and both sharing the same public iP address, you can cause issues with the server.
The search function is your friend, give it a try ---->

Hmm, yea I definitely think its a router problem then. How would I fix having the same IP?
I do have 2 separate CD keys, when we first installed the game on both computers we saw a problem with having the same CD key with the LAN play I think, so we went and bought another copy.
So I shouldn't install the CEP then? Is it not required, or having it would not allow us to play? I have only downloaded it so far and haven't installed it.
Where can I find that Head and Hands thing?
I apologize lol, I'm very new to the online play here, I've only ever done the OC. But I like roleplay, and like online play.
Thank you for the link and for the advice! I'll start lookin into it then, and try today to log in both comps at once. If I can fix this by 10 tonight then my friend and I can jump right in

The most important thing if two or more players are connected behind the same router (so, same external IP address) is to make sure that the two clients are using different ports.
If you open your nwnplayer.ini file and scroll down to where it says:
[Profile]
there should be a setting under that heading that says:
Client Port=5120
The first client to connect won't have a problem using port 5120, but the second and subsequent clients must have this set differently (5121, 5122, 5123, and so on).
This is so that the server can differentiate between the computers which are connected, just like you need to specify a different port to connect to Amia B for example.
Sorry if that's just repeating what the search results show up, but one day this post may pop up as a search result and it might be useful for an explanation to be available on the spot.
Yes, please use different ports. Doing otherwise can cause problems where the server won't reset properly and everyone will be locked out till an Admin can come along and kick it.
And, welcome to NWN/Amia

One thing to be aware of, espically after the mini MMO part, is that RP is compulsary. You must RP. It's not an option. You don't have to do it well, but you must do it. It's one of the main differences between Amia and a MMO.
That being said, welcome to Amia.

Don't worry, we have every intention of RPing. Dunno why comparing it to a mini MMO would lead you to worry, I always played on roleplay servers on all the MMOs I played. To be honest, I Really don't even know if this is like a mini mmo, I don't know what to expect at the moment, but am excited to see.
Anyway, Thank you for posting about how to change the ports, I hadn't gotten home from work yet to use the search and figure it out so you really helped me out there.
I just managed to figure out how to DL the CEP, now I'm doing everything to make sure they are on dif ports and get everything set up. I should see yall tonight if this works! Thanks again!
