ORSv5.1 - Olander's Realistic Systems

Olander’s Realistic Systems v5.1 (Updating Information at the bottom) 

Firstly, I would like to say thank you for downloading this and giving it a try. I also thank all the folks that have voted for the ORS to make it a Hall of Fame script/ruleset! Cheers! 

Secondly, this is a realistic....common sense.....real world implementation for our fantasy adventures. For folks who want the more fantastical approach to gaming….play somewhere that has this type of feature or build it yourself……you will not find that in here. 

With saying the prior this can be as Hard-Core as you wish….or maybe you only want a little realism. You can configure this as much as you like to get the final affect you desire. Need to tweak it on the way? You can….easily. Most of the time you will need to open ONE script to configure your module. 

Realism is the guiding principle behind the systems integrated here. Within the gaming system dynamics I have stayed as close to realism as possible. Also with that I have removed tedious realism to keep with the adventuring flavor. Remember that other people populate your worlds too and they make much of what Adventurers need to create great things. 

PHB and HCR: 
This is not HCR but can be used as a great replacement for those looking for realistic adventuring. There are Player’s Handbook (PHB) configurations in here but this is not a PHB rendition. The NWN game engine is really not a PHB/DnD game as those systems were developed on Pen and Paper which is a very different game than online or video gaming. So we need something a little different to adapt to NWN or this excellent video game. This is what is behind the ORSv5. 

There is also a TON of stuff in here that is READY to play with! There is NOTHING for you to do except Configure the Module Configuration Script and Test to see if it is close to what you wish! HCR2 is a nice system but is kind of complicated to get installed and going. This puppy is simple……very simple. Remember…..everything about the ORSv5 is and HAS been tested ONLINE in a True Dedicated server! 

The ORSv5 ruleset will load a 40MB Module in about 12 Seconds! That is amazing. What does 12 Seconds do to the Builder/Server? Well….for one thing….you can realize that the scripts have been designed so that they run ONLY when needed! The Module Loads up and configures itself but everything else is dynamically generated. This means that pings server/cpu wide are kept to singular instances instead of applied stacks! This means more Database Reliability and cleaner Server services for your players. 

In the end…..whether the ORSv5 is used as a Persistent Online World or as a Campaign Setting spanned across several modules…..now you have One Location to do everything you wish to do. No Installations….just Build it! Of course if you wish to Install something into the ORSv5 the process has always been very easy and very little complication. 

So give the ORSv5 a try and you will be hooked. Also please give some credit in your modules. It is a small thing but an Honored thing…..a nice Vote on the NWVault is also very much appreciated! 

Thank You for Downloading and trying the ORSv5. I hope your modules are as fun to play as mine. 

The Tutorial Module has many of the cool things you can try out as well as it is 100% set up and functioning. Please have a look at the ORSv5 Builders Guide (PDF) for detailed information.....there is a lot there. 

Cheers and Regards!

Required Files For Tutorial 
CEPv2.1 or v2.2 (All Versions) 
orsv5_addon.hak 
orsv5_cep21c.tlk or orsv5_cep22c.tlk (Both Provided) 



NOTE: ORS has ALWAYS been a script set. If you have a custom Hak Set and wish to use the ORSv5…..you can. You will just have to Edit ALL Items, Placeables, and Creatures in the ORSv5 to match yours. I used to support a Vanilla NWN version of all the stuff….but because of all the different haks out there (including my Anvarath Set long ago) I just made everything CEP compatible. 

ORSv5 Addon Hak Credits 
I did not make ANY of the Models in the ORSv5 Content. Folks from the NWVault did. 90% of the time the list gets confusing of who the true owners of the content are. I also had to put together this stuff to make it work nicely together (2da, Model, Texture, and Testing work). Does that make me an owner too? No, it does not. It simply means that since I have put this together I need to fix any bugs…..hence why this is so heavily tested. So, please no emails stating ‘No Credit….No Credit….Hang the Slime Bag’. I really don’t ask any credit for myself either. This is what it is. Take it for that. 

I have put together this very nice hak so that Your Modules can have more flavor as well as provide some updates to CEPv2.1c and NWNv1.69. This is a very good mix of content. I think you will enjoy this. 


ORSv5…..Update v5.1 (Lots of updates here and there for systems and enhancements) 

- ORS PC Skin Fix (this was actually in a Patch a long time ago but a lot of people did not get it or install it properly.
