General
</div>

<div style="background:#181214; border:1px solid #6f5730; padding:12px 14px; margin-bottom:8px;">

* '''Permakilling''' — Only you, the player, have the right to say when your character should, if ever, be permakilled. It cannot be enforced by another player. Exceptions may exist for known villains through DM events with consent granted ahead of time. Character deletion is also rarely used as punishment by the DM team.
* '''Character Descriptions''' — Character descriptions are strongly recommended. They help others determine RP compatibility and may include ERP lights, from detailed preferences to a simple statement of disinterest.
* '''Sexual Situations''' — You have the right to remove yourself from any sexual situation that makes you uncomfortable OOCly.
* '''Description Limits''' — Descriptions are not to blacklist specific players. Lights should be generic, kink-focused, and not used to bash specific kinks. Offensive or inappropriate descriptions may be adjusted by staff.
* '''Server / Staff Bashing''' — Staff may explain rules, events, changes, or reasoning, but insults and mockery toward the server or staff are not tolerated in chat, tells, or other spaces.
* '''Staff Switching''' — Do not take the same issue to multiple staff members after one staff member has already told you no.
* '''Exploits''' — Anything reasonably assumed to give a reward beyond normal effort or server norms may count as an exploit. Suspected exploits should be reported to DM/Admin staff.
* '''Extreme OOC Behaviour''' — Threats of violence, threats of self-violence, stalking with intent to blackmail, blackmail, revenge porn, and similar hostile OOC actions are zero-tolerance behaviors. Punishments may include character deletion, account deletion, and lifetime bans from the server and Discord.
* '''Toxic Behaviour''' - Toxic behaviour is a vague concept that everyone should be sufficiently familiar with already. This includes, but is not limited to, impersonations or assuming a fake ID for benefits ie. catfishing, using advantages that may not be covered by the exploit rule but still break something with an interaction, and/or any other repeat behaviour that skirt the edge of rules without necessarily breaking them.

Character Creation / Modification
</div>

<div style="background:#181214; border:1px solid #6f5730; padding:12px 14px; margin-bottom:8px;">

* '''Child Characters or NPCs''' — No child representation is welcome on Sinfar, including child-like adults.
* '''Character Remakes''' — XP transfers are not provided. If level one stats were built incorrectly, the character must be rerolled. Items can be transferred through the bank.
* '''Character Names and Descriptions''' — Names, appearances, and portraits may not include discrimination, racial slang, derogatory or inflammatory religious/political commentary, real-world current-event figures, historical figures, or popular fiction figures. Do not copy the names of existing Sinfar characters.
* '''Generic Names''' — Generic names may reasonably be used by multiple characters. Unique first-and-last-name combinations should not be copied.
* '''Staff Account Names''' — Account names starting with <code>DM</code> are illegal. Names that may be mistaken for active staff members are also not permitted.
* '''Untargettable Appearances''' — Untargettable appearances and characters Z-shifted below ground level may be punished with immediate character deletion.
* '''Disruptive Appearances / Troll Characters''' — Individuality is encouraged, but characters that interrupt RP or function as troll concepts may be subject to immediate deletion.

Harassment — IC and OOC
</div>

<div style="background:#181214; border:1px solid #6f5730; padding:12px 14px; margin-bottom:8px;">

* '''Stalking''' — Do not follow another player with the intention of disrupting their RP. Always acquire permission to enter private areas such as player housing, tavern rooms, or inn rooms.
* '''Unwanted Tells''' — You have the right to ignore tells. If tells continue and are unwelcome, tell the player not to send more tells and document the exchange with screenshots. After telling them to stop, do not continue replying. The Tell Block tool is available under <code>REST MENU > GENERAL TOOLS > TELL BLOCK</code>.
* '''Unwanted Emote-Animations''' — Spamming voice emotes, bartering, or animations against a person or group can be harassment if you do not stop when asked OOCly.
* '''Trolling''' — Trolling includes disruptive behavior not otherwise listed. Staff may address disruptive behavior even when the exact method is not specifically named.

Role Playing
</div>

<div style="background:#181214; border:1px solid #6f5730; padding:12px 14px; margin-bottom:8px;">

* '''No Underage Sexual RP''' — Sexual RP involving underage characters is not permitted. Characters must be of proper maturity, 18 years or older. This can result in an immediate ban.
* '''Foul Language Use''' — Cursing in character is permitted, but players should remember Sinfar is a fantasy setting.
* '''Scat / Toilet Play''' — This content cannot take place publicly, IC or OOC. Use a private location.
* '''Acronyms''' — Acronyms such as <code>lol</code> or <code>k bbl</code> are not acceptable in IC spaces. Any place not clearly labeled OOC requires RP.

<div id="Traffic_Lights" style="font-family:Georgia,serif; font-size:21px; color:#d8b46a; border-bottom:1px solid #6f5730; padding-bottom:4px; margin:9px 0 5px 0;">
Traffic Lights
</div>

<div style="background:#181214; border:1px solid #6f5730; padding:12px 14px; margin-bottom:8px;">

The traffic light system is based on safe and sane conduct. Players may list their lights in biographies and on the forums. These lights must be respected. Intentional violation of the light system can result in a ban, including permanent bans.

<div style="background:#120d10; border-left:4px solid #8f2432; padding:8px 10px; margin:8px 0;">
The light system applies directly and exclusively to adult-themed situations. It cannot be used to red-light a player, character, staff member, PvP, IC consequences, or similar non-adult-theme issues.

Player Versus Player — PvP
</div>

<div style="background:#181214; border:1px solid #6f5730; padding:12px 14px; margin-bottom:8px;">

* '''Mindless PvP''' — PvP requires RP before engagement. Being Chaotic Evil, Paladin, Demon, Devil, or any similar concept is not an excuse to attack on sight. If the situation is questionable, take screenshots of the RP or lack of RP leading to the conflict.
* '''Subservers''' — Individual subservers such as Dreaded Lands and Arche Terre may have clearer guidelines, but the main PvP rules still apply there.
* '''Request Spamming''' — Repeated PvP requests may be harassment. In areas without consent options, spamming dislike to disrupt ongoing PvP is considered exploiting.
* '''Consequences''' — PvP rules do not give a player the right to taunt others while hiding behind consent systems. In marked areas, PvP consent can be overridden if three unique people in your party repeatedly toggle dislike on another character. This should only be used as a last resort.
* '''Logging Off / Switching Characters''' — Logging out or switching characters to avoid PvP after initiating or engaging in it may result in punishment.
* '''Defeat''' — After losing PvP, whether by respawn or subdual, you must wait at least '''30 minutes''' before reengaging the same player or group. Do not rest and immediately return. Do not continue provoking through RP after defeat.
* '''DM Events''' — By participating in a DM-managed event or plot, you recognize that potential PvP may occur. Traffic lights still apply if adult content is involved.
* '''Assassinations''' — Being hired to attack someone does not grant a free pass to jump them. OOC permission is required. A DM can help preserve the assassin’s identity and monitor the situation.
* '''Metagaming Assassinations''' — If you learn about an impending assassination, do not metagame by buffing up or immediately fleeing.
* '''Transition Hopping''' — Do not move back and forth through transitions or abuse transitions to gain PvP advantage.
* '''Resized Forms / Appearances''' — Using any skin smaller than a halfling, below 3'4", in PvP is illegal.
* '''Griefing''' — Taking OOC revenge through PvP disguised as RP, including switching characters to taunt someone into combat, may be investigated by staff.
* '''Paving''' — Resurrecting a defeated player only to immediately kill them again is trolling and illegal.
* '''Resurrection Addendum''' — If a defeated character is resurrected by the opposing party, Defeat and Paving rules apply. If resurrected by their own party, those rules do not apply.
* '''Bystanders''' — A bystander resurrecting a defeated character becomes eligible for immediate retaliation by the opposing party and cannot claim neutrality. A bystander resurrecting someone to avoid the Paving rule may be treated as part of the opposing party.

Chat Channel Use
</div>

<div style="background:#181214; border:1px solid #6f5730; padding:12px 14px; margin-bottom:8px;">

* '''Pornography / NSFW Links''' — Public chat channels and the web client may not be used to share pornography or other NSFW material. Links that violate Sinfar rules may result in punishment.
* '''Portrait Discussion''' — NSFW portraits may exist. If seeking opinions, ask for interested players to send tells instead of posting explicit material publicly.
* '''Group / Kink Bashing''' — Public bashing, mocking, or taunting of character groups or fetishes is not tolerated. Personal preference is allowed; hostile generalizations are not.
* '''Discrimination''' — Do not use offensive slang against real-life groups based on race, ethnicity, gender, religion, or similar traits.
* '''Spam''' — Chat channels are for communication, not rapid trollish posting, silly spam, or extended walkthroughs of unrelated games or movies.
* '''Event Channel''' — One post per hour regarding a single event.
* '''Role Playing''' — Unless the channel is intended for IC posting, do not RP full scenes or situations through public chat channels. Find the other players in-game.
* '''Harassment''' — Do not call out players or characters negatively in public channels. Public chat is not for gossip.

Discord Rules
</div>

<div style="background:#181214; border:1px solid #6f5730; padding:12px 14px; margin-bottom:8px;">

* '''Group / Kink Bashing''' — Publicly bashing, mocking, or taunting groups of characters or fetishes is not tolerated.
* '''Discrimination''' — Do not post offensive slang, images, or memes against real-life groups or countries based on race, ethnicity, gender, religion, political opinion, or similar traits.
* '''Spam''' — Discord channels are for communication, not trollish posting, excessive silly messages, or detailed walkthroughs of unrelated games or movies.
* '''Moderation''' — Text and images that do not comply with the rules will be removed. Repeated issues may result in timeout and eventual Discord ban.

* '''Stalking''' — Do not follow another player with the intention of disrupting their RP. Always acquire permission to enter private areas such as player housing, tavern rooms, or inn rooms.
* '''Unwanted Tells''' — You have the right to ignore tells. If tells continue and are unwelcome, tell the player not to send more tells and document the exchange with screenshots. After telling them to stop, do not continue replying. The Tell Block tool is available under <code>REST MENU > GENERAL TOOLS > TELL BLOCK</code>.
* '''Unwanted Emote-Animations''' — Spamming voice emotes, bartering, or animations against a person or group can be harassment if you do not stop when asked OOCly.
* '''Trolling''' — Trolling includes disruptive behavior not otherwise listed. Staff may address disruptive behavior even when the exact method is not specifically named.

* '''No Underage Sexual RP''' — Sexual RP involving underage characters is not permitted. Characters must be of proper maturity, 18 years or older. This can result in an immediate ban.
* '''Foul Language Use''' — Cursing in character is permitted, but players should remember Sinfar is a fantasy setting.
* '''Scat / Toilet Play''' — This content cannot take place publicly, IC or OOC. Use a private location.
* '''Acronyms''' — Acronyms such as <code>lol</code> or <code>k bbl</code> are not acceptable in IC spaces. Any place not clearly labeled OOC requires RP.

Traffic Lights
</div>

<div style="background:#181214; border:1px solid #6f5730; padding:12px 14px; margin-bottom:8px;">

The traffic light system is based on safe and sane conduct. Players may list their lights in biographies and on the forums. These lights must be respected. Intentional violation of the light system can result in a ban, including permanent bans.

<div style="background:#120d10; border-left:4px solid #8f2432; padding:8px 10px; margin:8px 0;">
The light system applies directly and exclusively to adult-themed situations. It cannot be used to red-light a player, character, staff member, PvP, IC consequences, or similar non-adult-theme issues.

Player Versus Player — PvP
</div>

<div style="background:#181214; border:1px solid #6f5730; padding:12px 14px; margin-bottom:8px;">

* '''Mindless PvP''' — PvP requires RP before engagement. Being Chaotic Evil, Paladin, Demon, Devil, or any similar concept is not an excuse to attack on sight. If the situation is questionable, take screenshots of the RP or lack of RP leading to the conflict.
* '''Subservers''' — Individual subservers such as Dreaded Lands and Arche Terre may have clearer guidelines, but the main PvP rules still apply there.
* '''Request Spamming''' — Repeated PvP requests may be harassment. In areas without consent options, spamming dislike to disrupt ongoing PvP is considered exploiting.
* '''Consequences''' — PvP rules do not give a player the right to taunt others while hiding behind consent systems. In marked areas, PvP consent can be overridden if three unique people in your party repeatedly toggle dislike on another character. This should only be used as a last resort.
* '''Logging Off / Switching Characters''' — Logging out or switching characters to avoid PvP after initiating or engaging in it may result in punishment.
* '''Defeat''' — After losing PvP, whether by respawn or subdual, you must wait at least '''30 minutes''' before reengaging the same player or group. Do not rest and immediately return. Do not continue provoking through RP after defeat.
* '''DM Events''' — By participating in a DM-managed event or plot, you recognize that potential PvP may occur. Traffic lights still apply if adult content is involved.
* '''Assassinations''' — Being hired to attack someone does not grant a free pass to jump them. OOC permission is required. A DM can help preserve the assassin’s identity and monitor the situation.
* '''Metagaming Assassinations''' — If you learn about an impending assassination, do not metagame by buffing up or immediately fleeing.
* '''Transition Hopping''' — Do not move back and forth through transitions or abuse transitions to gain PvP advantage.
* '''Resized Forms / Appearances''' — Using any skin smaller than a halfling, below 3'4", in PvP is illegal.
* '''Griefing''' — Taking OOC revenge through PvP disguised as RP, including switching characters to taunt someone into combat, may be investigated by staff.
* '''Paving''' — Resurrecting a defeated player only to immediately kill them again is trolling and illegal.
* '''Resurrection Addendum''' — If a defeated character is resurrected by the opposing party, Defeat and Paving rules apply. If resurrected by their own party, those rules do not apply.
* '''Bystanders''' — A bystander resurrecting a defeated character becomes eligible for immediate retaliation by the opposing party and cannot claim neutrality. A bystander resurrecting someone to avoid the Paving rule may be treated as part of the opposing party.

Chat Channel Use
</div>

<div style="background:#181214; border:1px solid #6f5730; padding:12px 14px; margin-bottom:8px;">

* '''Pornography / NSFW Links''' — Public chat channels and the web client may not be used to share pornography or other NSFW material. Links that violate Sinfar rules may result in punishment.
* '''Portrait Discussion''' — NSFW portraits may exist. If seeking opinions, ask for interested players to send tells instead of posting explicit material publicly.
* '''Group / Kink Bashing''' — Public bashing, mocking, or taunting of character groups or fetishes is not tolerated. Personal preference is allowed; hostile generalizations are not.
* '''Discrimination''' — Do not use offensive slang against real-life groups based on race, ethnicity, gender, religion, or similar traits.
* '''Spam''' — Chat channels are for communication, not rapid trollish posting, silly spam, or extended walkthroughs of unrelated games or movies.
* '''Event Channel''' — One post per hour regarding a single event.
* '''Role Playing''' — Unless the channel is intended for IC posting, do not RP full scenes or situations through public chat channels. Find the other players in-game.
* '''Harassment''' — Do not call out players or characters negatively in public channels. Public chat is not for gossip.

* '''Spam''' — Discord channels are for communication, not trollish posting, excessive silly messages, or detailed walkthroughs of unrelated games or movies.
* '''Moderation''' — Text and images that do not comply with the rules will be removed. Repeated issues may result in timeout and eventual Discord ban.

Welcome to Sinfar — Enhanced Edition
</div>

Unlike most other ''Neverwinter Nights'' servers, Sinfar uses a large amount of custom content and server-specific features. This page covers connecting using '''Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition''' (EE) on Windows.

Sinfar runs natively on Diamond Edition; EE connects through a custom client loader (SinfarXEE). Two things make this work: EE's engine is rolled back to build '''81.8193.16''' (newer builds break character creation on Sinfar), and the game is launched through Sinfar's loader — both are separate downloads below. EE works about 95% of the time once everything here is in place; where Diamond Edition is available we still recommend it for stability. Buying from [https://www.gog.com/ GOG] includes a free Diamond Edition copy alongside EE.

For Diamond Edition, see [[Getting Started - Diamond Edition]] or [[Getting Started - Diamond Edition on Linux]].

First, '''install NWN:EE''' and note the install folder (referred to below as <code>[NWN install]</code>). On Steam this is typically <code>...\steamapps\common\Neverwinter Nights</code>. Then install the five downloads above in order.

# '''Haks:''' Extract [https://sinfar.net/haks/sinfar_all_files_v30.7z sinfar_all_files_v30.7z] into <code>Documents\Neverwinter Nights</code> — '''not''' the <code>haks</code> subfolder. The archive carries its own folder structure: it fills <code>haks</code>, drops the Sinfar <code>.tlk</code> into <code>tlk</code>, and places palette files in <code>override</code>.
# '''Engine rollback:''' Extract [https://nwn.sinfar.net/files/sinfarx/8181/win32_8181.zip win32_8181.zip] into <code>[NWN install]\bin</code> (next to the existing <code>win32</code> folder), giving you <code>[NWN install]\bin\win32_8181\</code>.
# '''SinfarXEE loader:''' Extract [https://nwn.sinfar.net/files/sinfarx_ee.zip sinfarx_ee.zip] into that <code>win32_8181</code> folder. From now on, launch the game by running '''<code>sinfarx_ee.exe</code>''' there — not the normal EE shortcut.
# '''Overrides:''' Extract [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iPc5Tds0MgChUq1BtbhUU9Ut6B5upOk_&usp=drive_fs sinfar_ee_ovr.7z] into <code>[NWN install]\bin\win32_8181\ovr</code> (create the <code>ovr</code> folder if it does not exist).
# '''Top hak (do this last):''' Place the [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1zF8kR9gmfsFYy4OW6V4dv-YJyWkLXSNl&usp=drive_fs EE top hak] in <code>Documents\Neverwinter Nights\haks</code>, overwriting the top hak from step 1. If you ever reinstall the haks, repeat this step afterward.

Your <code>bin\win32_8181</code> folder should look like this once steps 2 and 3 are complete:

A port is optional and only needed for specific servers.

When asked for an account name, you will see a button to save it as default. '''Leave it unchecked''' if you use more than one account — checking it writes the name into your <code>.ini</code> files, and changing it later means editing those files by hand.

The override files (step 4) re-enable character creation under EE. If you still crash partway through making a character, a reliable workaround is to create it on a '''Diamond Edition''' client (free with the GOG purchase) and then switch back to EE to play — the character carries over. A few high-level dungeons also use heavy visual effects that can crash EE, so some players keep Diamond installed for those.

If you keep both EE and Diamond installed, you do not need two copies of the haks. In <code>nwn.ini</code>, point both at one hak folder using the <code>[Alias]</code> section at the top — for example <code>HAK=C:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\hak</code>. EE's <code>nwn.ini</code> is in <code>Documents\Neverwinter Nights</code>.

Rules

2025-04-18T13:18:52Z

ItsABadger: /* CHARACTER CREATION/MODIFICATION */

This has been updated to cover and clarify a larger area of potential issues. Rules are subject to change if we find players using loopholes to abuse them. Finally, a DM may make a ruling on something not listed if it is questionable - As long as the situation is shared with the other staff members

== GENERAL ==
* PERMAKILLING - Only you, the player, have the right to say when your character should (if ever) be permakilled. It cannot be enforced upon you by another player. There are exceptions to this when a particular character has become a known villain, and does something to warrant such a fate. This can only be done by a DM through events with consent granted ahead of time. Character deletion is also rarely used as a form of punishment by the DM team.

* CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS - It is strongly recommended that you work on a description for your characters. Descriptions are tools many people use for determining RP compatibility, and not having one can adversely impact your ability to find compatible RP partners. Your description is encouraged to include ERP lights, which may range from very extensive to simply listing your disinterest in ERP in general. You, as a player, have the right to remove yourself from any sexual situation which makes you uncomfortable OOCly. The description is not to be used to blacklist specific players, and lights are generic and for kinks only, and are only to show your likes or dislikes, and should not be worded in a manner that bashes specific kinks. If a Description is found to be particularly offensive or otherwise inappropriate, you may be told to adjust it or have a DM adjust it for you.

* SERVER/STAFF BASHING - We are more than happy to explain the reasoning for rules, events, changes, or general ideas but we aren't going to tolerate insults or mockery. Simply because you may not like something/someone doesn't mean we're going to act as a whipping post for your frustrations. This covers all areas - Chat channels, tells, and so forth.

* EXPLOITS - If anything can reasonably be assumed to count as an exploit, being something that gives you a reward beyond what the effort put in or what is considered the norm for the server, is not allowed. Exploits can come in a variety of different styles, and if you find something you suspect may be an exploit, it should be reported to the DM/Admin team.

* EXTREME BEHAVIOUR [Out Of Character] - Threats of violence, threats of self-violence, stalking with the intent to blackmail, blackmail, and revenge porn (or other hostile, out of character actions/threats/similar) are all zero-tolerance behaviours on Sinfar. Any player caught engaging in these activities will be met with the most extreme levels of reprisals available. These include character and/or account deletion and up to a lifetime ban from the server, including the discord.

== CHARACTER CREATION/MODIFICATION ==
* CHILD CHARACTERS or NPC's - Because of our environment and to prevent complications, NO child representation is welcome on Sinfar, including child-like adults ("lolicons" or similar).

* CHARACTER REMAKES - We do not do XP transfers. So if you mucked up your level one stats you'll have to re-roll yourself. [Items can be transferred via bank]

* CHARACTER NAMES AND DESCRIPTIONS - Characters cannot be given names or appearances, including portraits, that incorporate discrimination, racial slang, derogatory or inflammatory religious or political commentary, or historic or figures from real life current events, including popular fiction. It is not permitted to copy the names of existing Sinfar characters. Generic names may reasonably be used by multiple players/characters, but someone with a unique first and last name should not have anyone copying that.

* STAFF ACCOUNT NAMES - Account names starting with "DM" are illegal. Anyone using them will be asked to change such. This is for active staff members only. This rule also applies using names that may be mistaken for active staff members, such as using NelaK2 or ItsAnotherBadger.

* UNTARGETTABLE APPEARANCES, and Characters Z shifted below ground level - This will be punished with immediate character deletion if any player is caught doing this.

* DISRUPTIVE APPEARANCES/TROLL CHARACTERS - While we promote and strongly encourage individuality here on Sinfar, there's also a line in which a creative idea becomes an interruption to RP. Such characters are subject to immediate deletion.

== HARASSMENT (IC AND OOC) ==
* STALKING - You are not to follow another player around with the intention of disrupting their RP. You also must ALWAYS acquire permission to enter PRIVATE areas such as player housing or tavern/inn rooms. PSA on harassment and stalking: <nowiki>https://forum.sinfar.net/viewtopic.php?f=268&t=14248</nowiki>

* UNWANTED TELLS - You have the right to ignore tells, but if they persist and are not welcome you need to inform the player NOT to send you any more tells and document this with a screenshot (Capturing the whole exchange of tells after you tell them to stop). After telling the person to stop, do not reply to anything they might say afterwards. In your REST MENU>GENERAL TOOLS>TELL BLOCK is a feature you may use at your convenience.

* UNWANTED EMOTE-ANIMATIONS - Spamming voice emotes, bartering, and animations of any kind against a person or people can be considered harassment if you don't stop when asked to OOCly.

* TROLLING - This section is reserved for anything that may be missed which is not mentioned above that can be used to disrupt other players. We have no intention of targeting any specific players/characters, there are too many aspects of trolling to cover all of them.

== ROLE PLAYING ==
* NO PEDOPHILIA - Performing any type RP sexually involving an underage character. (Doesn't matter the character race, each character must be of the proper maturity - 18 years or older). This will result in an IMMEDIATE ban.

* FOUL LANGUAGE USE - While it is completely fine to curse and use all sorts of curses in character, it is important to keep in mind this is a fantasy setting.

* SCAT/TOILET PLAY - These cannot take place on any level - IC or OOC - in a public place. If you wish participate in things of this nature, take it to a private location.

* ACRONYMNS - Things like "lol" and "k bbl" are not acceptable. Any place NOT clearly labelled OOC requires RP.

== TRAFFIC LIGHTS ==
* The traffic light system works on the basis of safe and sane conduct. A player is entitled to list their lights in their bios and on the forums. These WILL be respected by players; intentional violation of the light system can result in a instantaneous ban for a variable length of time or even permanently.

* The light system can be used to effectively detail what you, as a player, enjoy or don't care for.

* This, however, has limits; such being you CAN'T red light a player/character, staff, PVP, IC repercussions, etc. The light system APPLIES DIRECTLY and EXCLUSIVELY to ADULT THEMED SITUATIONS, and cannot be used to report a player unless it is a direct violation of unwanted adult themes.

* Examples of adult themed situations include: Rape, any intercourse in general, dislike of certain genders, sexual torture; things of this nature.

* RED Lights - These are things that the player wishes to have no part of in their role-play.

* YELLOW Lights - These are things that may or may not make the player uncomfortable depending upon their mood at the time.

* GREEN Lights - Things that tend to be universally enjoyed by the player.

== PLAYER VERSUS PLAYER (PVP) ==
* MINDLESS PVP - All PVP needs RP prior to the engagement. Being Chaotic Evil is not an excuse to attack someone without warning. Being a Paladin is not an excuse to attack Demons or Devils on sight. There needs to be some form of interaction between the characters before PvP can ensue. If there's a questionable situation, you must take screenshots of any and all RP (Or lack thereof) leading up to the conflict. Please note that individual subservers may have clearer guidelines on this, such as Dreaded Lands and Arche Terre, but these rules still apply there.

* REQUEST SPAMMING - Repeated requests for PvP at any one time might constitute harassment. If a DM is called to investigate, we will speak to each party involved and see if there's a valid reasoning for the PvP requests. In areas that do not have consent options, if you spam dislike to disrupt ongoing PvP then it is considered exploiting.

* CONSEQUENCES - The PvP Rules do not give a character/player the right to keep taunting someone, knowing they are untouchable due the PvP Consent System/Rules. It is possible to override the PvP Consent in the marked areas if 3 unique people (The PVP system prevents the same player from using multiple accounts to override) in your party toggle dislike on another character repeatedly. This should ONLY be used as a last resort given the aforementioned reason. PSA on overrides/consequences: <nowiki>https://forum.sinfar.net/viewtopic.php?f=268&t=16082</nowiki>

* LOGGING OFF/SWITCHING CHARACTERS - If you do this to avoid PvP after initiating/engaging it upon other characters, you may be subject to punishment. Same applies to logging out or switching when your character is about to lose.

* DEFEAT - Whether you respawn, or arise from subdual after engaging in PvP with another person, you must wait at least 30 MINUTES before reengaging the same player/group in PvP. You are not to run off to rest and come back after losing. This does not give you the right to get up from Subdual or a respawn and continue to provoke other characters via RP either. Your character lost and needs to accept that. It can be considered harassment if this occurs.

* DM EVENTS - Participating in a DM managed event or plot you recognize the fact that you are open to potential PvP. You still have the rights to your traffic lights and even the DMs MUST respect those, should adult content be part of said event.

* ASSASSINATIONS - Just because someone hired your character to attack another does not give you a free pass in doing so. You need OOC permission to jump someone. This can be done through a DM to preserve the assassin's identity and may be best if the DM also monitors the situation. If you are '''informed''' about an impending assassination, you should not metagame this and buff up or immediately flee the area.

* TRANSITION HOPPING - This is where you move back and forth between transitions or abuse transitions to gain an advantage in PvP.

* RESIZED FORMS/APPEARANCES - Using any skin smaller than a halfling (3'4") in PvP is ILLEGAL.

* GRIEFING - This is when a player decides to take revenge on another player through PvP. It is an OOC engagement guised as RP. Switching to another character to taunt someone into combat. If any of these are suspected or reported, a DM will investigate and review logs/screenshots.

* PAVING - This is when a player or any of it's party members is acting immature and resurrecting the defeated player to instantly kill the character again. This is in all cases seen as trolling and considered ILLEGAL. If witnessed by a DM or reported , an appropriate punishment will be the result for all party members involved.

* ADDENDUM - If a player character is resurrected by one of the opposite party members the Defeat and Paving rules apply. If a player character is resurrected by one of their party members neither the Defeat nor Paving rules apply.

A Bystander is a player character who doesn't belongs to either party involved in the ongoing PvP. A Bystander resurrecting a defeated player character makes themselves eligible for immediate retaliation by the opposite party involved and can not pretend to neutrality. A Bystander resurrecting a defeated player character with the purpose to avoid the opposite party to be subject to the Paving rule will be considered member of the opposite party involved.

== CHAT CHANNEL USE ==
<nowiki>http://nwn.sinfar.net/dynamic_text.php</nowiki>? ... T_CHANNELS

* Pornography - While Sinfar is an adult server, the public chat channels and web client are not to be used to share links for pornography or other NSFW material. Any links that contain content that could violate Sinfar server rules will require us to punish the players accordingly. (NOTE: We realize there's a lot of NSFW portraits, so if you find yourself finding opinions on such if would be best to mention you want opinions and to send you tells for those interested in seeing it)

* GROUP/KINK BASHING - Publicly bashing/mocking/taunting groups of characters (Furries, Transgenders, Catlings, etc) or various fetishes is not to be tolerated. You'll get a warning for doing so. You're entitled to opinions, such as "I don't really like this type of RP/ERP" but not claiming something as fact which is rooted in opinion such as "People who do this are disgusting inhuman monsters" or even just saying that "x is wrong."

* DISCRIMINATION - Like the rule above, please refrain from using any offensive slang against any particular RL group of people based on their race, ethnicity, gender, religion, etc.

* SPAM - The chat channels exist to increase communication among players, not for one or two players to post trollish/silly messages in rapid fire sequence, nor is it okay to provide a detailed walkthrough of a game you're playing or movie you're watching. If things get a bit excessive you'll be reminded to ease up.

* For the EVENT CHANNEL - One post per 1 hour regarding a single event.)

* ROLE PLAYING - Besides the channels that can be used for IC postings (Event, Action, Sex, etc) you should not be RPing out scenes or various situations with other players. Find them IG and have fun!

* HARASSMENT - Should be rather obvious. Calling someone out by their player name or character name in a negative light. This isn't a place to gossip.

== DISCORD RULES ==

* GROUP/KINK BASHING - Publicly bashing/mocking/taunting groups of characters (Furries, Transgenders, Catlings, etc) or various fetishes (I really don't want to list any) is not to be tolerated.

* DISCRIMINATION - No offensive slang or images/memes against any particular RL group of people or country based on their race, ethnicity, gender, religion or political opinion, etc.

* SPAM - The Sinfar Discord channels exist to increase communication among players, not for one or two players to post trollish/silly messages, nor is it okay to provide a detailed walkthrough of a game you're playing or movie you're watching.

* Text and images not complying to these rules will be removed and if it becomes to often you will be set on time-out and eventually banned from the Sinfar Discord if it continues.

You're entitled to opinions, such as "I don't really like this type of RP/ERP" but not claiming something as fact which is rooted in opinion such as "People who do this are disgusting inhuman monsters" or even just saying that "x is wrong."

* DISCRIMINATION - Like the rule above, please refrain from using any offensive slang against any particular RL group of people based on their race, ethnicity, gender, religion, etc.

* SPAM - The chat channels exist to increase communication among players, not for one or two players to post trollish/silly messages in rapid fire sequence, nor is it okay to provide a detailed walkthrough of a game you're playing or movie you're watching. If things get a bit excessive you'll be reminded to ease up.

* For the EVENT CHANNEL - One post per 1 hour regarding a single event.)

* ROLE PLAYING - Besides the channels that can be used for IC postings (Event, Action, Sex, etc) you should not be RPing out scenes or various situations with other players. Find them IG and have fun!

* HARASSMENT - Should be rather obvious. Calling someone out by their player name or character name in a negative light. This isn't a place to gossip.

== DISCORD RULES ==

* GROUP/KINK BASHING - Publicly bashing/mocking/taunting groups of characters (Furries, Transgenders, Catlings, etc) or various fetishes (I really don't want to list any) is not to be tolerated.

* DISCRIMINATION - No offensive slang or images/memes against any particular RL group of people or country based on their race, ethnicity, gender, religion or political opinion, etc.

* SPAM - The Sinfar Discord channels exist to increase communication among players, not for one or two players to post trollish/silly messages, nor is it okay to provide a detailed walkthrough of a game you're playing or movie you're watching.

* Text and images not complying to these rules will be removed and if it becomes to often you will be set on time-out and eventually banned from the Sinfar Discord if it continues.

=== Script Based Events ===
Those events are tie to a script name/ResRef they will run whenever the script that they are registered to is called. It is good to change the behaviour or a specific script by bypassing it or when the caller doesn't matter, but if you want to do something only when something happen to a specific object, you should use the [[Variable Based Events|Variable Based Event]] system.

=== Registering / Unregistering a Script Based Event ===
This is done with the 2 following functions:

<code>void RegisterEvent(string sEvent, string sScript);</code>

<code>void UnregisterEvent(string sEvent, string sScript);</code>

For example, the following line:<code>RegisterEvent("pc_ev_death", "myerf_ev_pcdeath")</code>... will cause the myerf_ev_pcdeath script to be called '''before''' and every time that the pc_ev_death is about to be executed.

The parameters can be accessed the same way as the original script and the caller will be the same.

=== Creating / Running a Script Based Event ===
If in the middle of a script you want to notify everyone interested by what is happening, you can use the [[https://nwnlexicon.com/index.php?title=ExecuteScript%7CExecuteScript Execute Script]] function, but better, you can use the RunEvent(ReturnType) functions, which will create a script based event that can be registered, have parameters and a return value:

* <code>int RunEvent(string sScript, object oTarget, array aParams);</code>
* <code>int RunEventInt(string sScript, object oTarget, array aParams);</code>
* <code>object RunEventObject(string sScript, object oTarget, array aParams);</code>
* <code>string RunEventString(string sScript, object oTarget, array aParams);</code>
* <code>float RunEventFloat(string sScript, object oTarget, array aParams);</code>
* <code>effect RunEventEffect(string sScript, object oTarget, array aParams);</code>
* <code>array RunEventArray(string sScript, object oTarget, array aParams);</code>
* <code>dictionary RunEventDictionary(string sScript, object oTarget, array aParams);</code>
* <code>vector RunEventVector(string sScript, object oTarget, array aParams);</code>
* <code>location RunEventLocation(string sScript, object oTarget, array aParams);</code>

Rageheart (Barbarian 16/Fighter 8/Weapon Master 16)

2025-02-23T20:45:43Z

ItsABadger: Note adjustment

=== Notes from DA's Build Guide ===
- Per a request, a stun-resistant variant of the [[Frenzied Berserker (Barbarian 15/Fighter 6/Weapon Master 19)|Frenzied Berserker]]. Good for CTF and Open World PvP. Bad for duels. Not ideal for Shard Runs, but you're close enough to a True Weapon Master in damage output that you could get by against most enemies.

- -1 AB compared to the Frenzied Berserker, but a significant advantage in Fortitude. 58 Fortitude will ensure that the standard 61 DC stunner only has a 10% chance of stunning on you a successful hit (even if you are chain-stunned in group PvP, you will burn out a huge number of her Stunning Fists, crippling the stunner's ability to harm the rest of your team).

- Gear: +12 STR/CON, +5 Armor/Natural/Deflection/Dodge, Haste, Fortitude, +7/10 DR . Discipline and Saving Throws as needed.

=== Notes from DA's Build Guide ===
- Somewhere between a [[True Weapon Master]] and a [[Warlord]], the Frenzied Berserker is a powerful melee build. It has similar damage but slightly less AB than a True Weapon Master whilst raging but benefits greatly from the powerful control capability of Terrifying Rage. Less AB than the Warlord, but better damage (and the Warlord does not have Terrifying Rage). Good for CTF and Open World PvP. Decent, as far as melee character go, for Shard Runs.

- This build is feat starved. You cannot achieve Cleave/Great Cleave/Overwhelming Critical/Devastating Critical without sacrificing Great Strength and losing both AB and Dev Crit DC.

- Your Barbarian DR does not stack with +7/10 on armor, therefore you are losing one of the best perks of being a Barbarian (since Arcane Archers pierce +7 DR, you will get your Barbarian DR against their arrows, however).

- Unless it was fixed recently, Barbarian Speed still does not stack with Haste (I tested this in-game about six months prior to this post from 2013).

- Gear: +12 STR/CON, +5 Armor/Natural/Deflection/Dodge, Haste, Fortitude, +7/10 DR, Discipline.

=== Notes from DA's Build Guide ===
- An anti-stunner Weapon Master. A variant of the [[True Weapon Master]], the Steelheart has a more defensive emphasis (at the cost of -2 AB, -3 Damage, and Devastating Critical). Good for CTF and perhaps Open World PvP but not much else.

- Please note that these stun-resistant series of builds are not meant to be immune to Stunning Fist; they are designed to be resistant with as little compromise to the core functionality of the build as possible.

- You can reach 56 Fortitude. DC 61 Stunners are the baseline, so you have a 20% chance of failing a save. You are most vulnerable when ambushed from stealth, but you should have sufficient AC available to make stuns very difficult to land if you are fighting a known threat. You will force the Stunner to waste a LOT of Stunning Fists trying to kill you if you are hit, which will burn out her strongest ability very quickly, making you a poor target of opportunity.

- +120 more HP than a True Weapon Master.

- Gear: +12 STR/CON, +5 Armor/Shield/Natural/Deflection/Dodge, Haste, +7/10 DR, Fortitude. Discipline and saving throws as necessary.

Getting Started - Diamond Edition

2025-02-23T11:24:53Z

ItsABadger: Corrected discord link.

This page will detail how to connect to Sinfar, where to find the various resources needed to both optimise your experience on the server as well as ones that are necessary to connect in the first place. For any questions, concerns or queries, join our [https://discord.gg/sinfar Discord server] for the easiest access to answers.

This page will have some details specifically for using the Diamond Edition on Windows. For Diamond Edition on Linux, see [[Getting Started - Diamond Edition on Linux|this page]]. For using the Enhanced Edition, see [[Getting Started - Enhanced Edition|this page]].

== Connect with us ==
Be ready to ask questions and find friends to play with already, the best place is our Discord server: https://discord.gg/sinfar

You can also use our forum: https://forum.sinfar.net (Ask players in game or discord for the password to sign up)

There is various in-game tools and information available on https://nwn.sinfar.net

== Enter the Persistent World of Sinfar ==
To play on the Sinfar server, you will need copy of Neverwinter Nights 1 as well as the Sinfar custom launcher and hak files. Sinfar does '''not''' use the newer Enhanced Edition (EE) of Neverwinter Nights. To get a copy of NWN1, we recommend buying EE on https://www.gog.com/ which also gives an extra copy of the base Diamond Edition, which includes the two necessary expansion packs. The game is regularly on sale on various platforms, whether you use the recommended GOG one or another.[[File:NWN Account Login.png|thumb]]After installing Diamond Edition, you may need to install the patch [https://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/other/patch/169-critical-rebuild-english 1.69 Critical Rebuild] if installed via GOG. '''Be sure to get your unique CD Keys'''. For instructions how to find these in the GOG Galaxy client or on the GOG account site, look [https://support.gog.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010674374-Neverwinter-Nights-Enhanced-Edition-Where-to-find-the-key-?product=gog here].

To play on Sinfar, you additionally need to download our custom [[Hak Files]]. You can use the full download link [https://sinfar.net/haks/sinfar_all_files_v30.7z here], or visit the hak page for individual downloads. The hak files must be installed in the game's install directory unless manually changed to different folders.

Lastly, you will need the [[Sinfar Client Extender|Sinfar Client Extender (SinfarX)]] ([https://nwn.sinfar.net/files/sinfarx.exe direct download link.]). This is a custom launcher similar to NWNCX that adds additional functionality for the Sinfar Server exclusively. You should never use this to play on other servers.

Launching the game and going to the Multiplayer Menu, you will be presented with the Player Login screen. Even if you never played NWN before, you do not need to use the Create New Account feature - simply put in the account name you desire and any key for a password.
[[File:Direct Connect.png|thumb]]
After setting your account name, click ''Join Internet Game''. You will get an error that "''Connection failed, try another Nick."'' Click ''Cancel'' and select ''Direct Connect'' and type in the DNS for Sinfar: nwn.sinfar.net and click OK (you can include the port, ''nwn.sinfar.net:5121'', to connect to the main server or '':5122'' to connect to the Dreaded Lands server, etc, but this is not necessary).

== Create a New Character ==
Click the “New Character” button and follow the steps. You can create as many characters as you want so don't spend to much time on your first one. Also, the following new character options can be fully changed later:

* Gender
* Portrait
* Alignment
* Customize
Additionally, the race appearance can be changed later. That means that only your '''Class''', '''Abilities''' and everything under '''Packages''' is locked in place upon character creation. If you wish to change class or your starting abilities in the future, you will have to make a new character from scratch - however, you're able to transfer all your items and gold to the new one.
