Anyone who has been following me knows that I wrote a drop in persistent world core for neverwinter nights... I started this core back in 2002. There are no players around today that remember Mystrix from it's alpha days when there was only the original CD version of Neverwinter Nights, no one that is except for me. The reason for this is that most of the people that would remember no longer play Neverwinter Nights anymore. If any of them were still around they might remember a construct that did strange things back then. Some people have seen a construct that appears in the center of the area they are in, and anyone from Mystrix Alpha would remember that he used to walk very quickly around an area and pick up things that were dropped. He has taken on many different artificial intelligence versions since that day and now he's practically invisible to most people, even the DMs. His name has always been Rottorish, and he's even got his own house.
Mystrix Alpha slowly became The World of Mystrix thanks to Praylor Falcus' encouragement. Without him I would have left Mystrix Alpha sit on the old CD I archived it to in 2003.
Now The World of Mystrix has it's own core, named Mystrix Core and is at version 3.2 (nearing 4) and it's core has spread to other modules.
This advanced core has undergone many changes and even helped find and fix bugs in several other systems written by other people in the Neverwinter Nights community... bugs that affected other servers and other players that have never even played on Mystrix, or heard of it. Just to name a few of the other systems/softwares that we've helped fix bugs in... SSE (Shayanne's Subrace Engine), and NWNX2 (The Neverwinter Nights Extender), and NESS (Neshke's Extendable Spawning System), Mystrix has even extended NESS quite a bit past it's official functionality.
I took on the Thain Extended project to bring this core to people that didn't want to use, or could not use hak packs. I did it so that people could enjoy having the same things that us people that can or do want to use hak packs already enjoy, as there are no other hak free servers that currently do such things.
Now that Thain Extended has matured into what it is, it's time to import the fixes for bugs found in the mystrix core on Thain Extended so that the Mystrix people can enjoy all the new features and bug fixes that have evolved with this engine. So far the affected scripts I have to change are nearing 200, so you can expect this to take a little while to happen.
Please be patient and enjoy.
