Ernie Noa's RPG Blog

Here is a link to ANOTHER new blog. The Stygius blog project. Michele/Liso told me about this project during my NWNPodcast interview. I had a peak at their wiki and this looks to be a very entertaining project. Here is the link to the Stygius blog .

I found two new blogs this morning. Both look relatively new, but are by names I know well from around the NWN Blogosphere. JClef's Ravenloft Blog which boasts some impressive looking screen shots. Nalencer's Blog , who's been posting about an Ice Wind Dale related campaign since early December. I'll add persistent links to my blog as well.

I was lucky enough to recieve a copy of 'The Orange Box' from my wife for Christmas. I had a few minutes to get it installed and I tried the first few minutes. Shortly after the game started I got an onscreen warning that read: Warning: Paged Memory Pool Low After a few minutes the game locked with looping sound in the background, just as Half Life 1 Episode 1 used to. For Half Life 1 I found a start up parameter that forced the game to run in direct X8 mode, which solved the problem. I wasn't excited about the solution but was able to play the game.

The article said: In practice, we have found that certain anti-virus applications allocate a large amount of paged pool memory that cannot be freed until the anti-virus software is fully uninstalled from the system.

This is an oldie but a goodie. Enjoy.

I'm still chipping away at the town I posted screen shots from the other day. Here are some updated shots, with a little more detail and polish. Again it's a nice opportunity to experiment with the Airships and the edge of the world that will be needed regularly in Hythum.

Here are some VERY early screen shots from Hythum. Nothing polished, but I could resist showing off the amazing airships from Amraphael . It's gonna be a while... but Darmok and I are moving forward with this project. The airships are fantastic. You can play the NWN1 version of Hythum now! THANK YOU AMRAPHAEL .
