Vives is collective work from a large number of people both from our group and the wider NwN community. I would like to take this opportunity to thank them sincerely; without what they've done this project would not be possible. Please see Hakpaks thread for credits to custom contents, and correct/nudge Sol or Ara if you do find some missing.
Not arranged in any particular order:
NwN Community
DM-Friendly Initiatives - The ingenious voice emotes, PC dicebag/autofollow, and DM wand package are due to them.
Mojo- designer of previously implemented ATS, he have made the no-drop scripts also.
David Bobeck- The versatile, light-weight CNR system is due to David.
Gilgon Avalrock - originally designed the Campfire resting system.
Dom Queron - Dom Queron created a number of interactive placeables (e.g., Graves & your favorite Gnomish music box)
Scott Thorne - PCScry
Craig Graff- Craig created the well-designed and thought out merchant system, opening up a number of possibilities impossible with the Bioware default.
City of Doors Initiatives - CODI published a number of creatures, not only the models, but also custom behaviours for them (scripting).
Bamf - came up initially with the idea of a semi-persistent library.
Jasperre - a version of his AI is partially implemented in Vives. We'll see how much we can bridge the heavily custom creature AI with his, as well as how the server handles the rather expensive code.
Talmud - the new flexible, complete merchant system is due to him. Sleek code, great idea :D
Syrsuro- moderator of Bioware forums, he also came up with the simple yet ingenious way of disabling negative item messages.
Vives Group
Arathon - Beastmaster, Cartography (!), Propmaster, Quest master... Arathon did most of the areas (description too!) as well as beasties within Vives. DMs and now hosts the server too with Lisen . Without whom Vives would not continue to blossom daily.
Quietus - Persistent locations, persistent reputations, persistent creature kills, persistent time, persistent merchants, persistent housing, web-based dirtnap list, web-based DM-tools, web-based manual reset... Campfire... And used to host the server before baby Q came along!
Fenarisk - Used to be another area-item-beastie designer / DM / writer ("his is indeed a disturbing universe..." )... Buckshire ruins, Path of Ladriel, his beloved Mushroom man, Port Royale North just to name a few... as well as ranger triggers and what-not. A number of Gods are also his babies.
Lytton - The website/forum design and implementation you're seeing is the work of Lytton. Say hi to the little pervert and big bullies in game, it could be him :D
Ruldain - Ruldain help in filling up in a large number of the beautifully written area description proses, as well as DM'ing. In process of contributing a God.
Gorak - Filled in Buckshire & runs DM quests. Wrote the Sundering... and a number of quests. A NPC called Ben Dover (?)
Alosynth - Alo used to be a moderator for the forums, and ran DM quests.
Sug & Drudo - did/does alot of props (items) & their recipes...
Gwindor - Gwindor created both Aros and Elbereth, as well as DM'ed and contributed items.
Kell - created Syn, contributed great ideas for the development of Episode One, and DMed.
Pre-beta Testers - To all of you who made this group a blast. Special mention to Sion who impressed all of us by his change in character.
Aria - Her greatest talent lay in being able to find such a cool group to work together... did some of the scriptings & all of the bitching stuffs. She will be missed.
Barnas - His delightfully evil characters and DM plots while he DMed with us.
Dens - His life changing DM plots .
PDWalker - Enviable building expertise, without whom the server move would have been very hard. He has given us so much, including all of his bug fixes, Gate spell changes and wild magics. We would be lost without him.
Eyes in the Skies - For his diplomacy in the face of adversity and his off the wall sense of humour.
GrimJester & The Entertainer - For taking up the reigns on the US DMing side and running the werewolf and vampire plotlines.
Sirac & Sol - Who ran the plots to open up the wonderfully designed (by Ara) Nethar'u areas. Sirac who made the incredibly evil demon monsters. And Sol for trying to organise everyone.
And those many people who have DMed here and added to the vibrancy of the world. Thank you all.
