RE: Aura of Shadows broken
Alright, fair enough. Also, after looking at the script more carefully, I realized that part was supposed to be set on default anyway >_>
I don't see anything wrong with the script itself! It works if you change GetAdjustedCasterLevel(oPC) to the vanilla script GetCasterLevel(oPC). Could be a problem with the GetAdjustedCasterLevel-script, where it's setting the nDuration and nCasterLvl to 0 automatically.

RE: Aura of Shadows broken
If the problem is purely with the visuals (meaning you didn't see the effect take place), currently 28th line ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, eVis, oPC) uses the default length of that function, which is 0.0f.

RE: server morale - making it through the reboot of the new version
I have become too big of a cynic to trust the care of the server in the hands of any one man, Terris- even you, though I know you'd mean well. For power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely (John Dalberg-Acton). Even a group of people such as the DM team can become blind and deaf to the needs of the playerbase if they are consumed by the bubble that has formed around them. I would even go as far as to empower the playerbase itself to have the only voice on who sits on that pedestal and who doesnt, for Arabel is not the property of any one player, team nor ideology- it belongs to those who play here.
Scrapping the servers lore is out of the question, but continuing the story somewhere else like Moonshae is not a bad idea at all. It is just something where focus needs to be put on. Is there a single member in the current team that has the time and energy to devote themselves onto making it happen? Radical changes need to be made for the server to improve and perhaps a fresh system is what we need, but these changes should not need to consume a hundred manhours to accomplish- if there's nobody willing and able to do them.

RE: server morale - making it through the reboot of the new version
Terris, it's a bit far fetched to suggest that "bigots, sexists, racists, homophobes and transphobes" are the biggest source of our beloved servers problems as your post appears to make it out to be. Now I do understand that is your point of view and it is the reason that drove you out- but can you present evidence that is why others have followed suit and left? For to the reasons of my departure- that is not the case at all.
That being said, my reasons too fall into the category of "Community Management". To me- it is the broken trust in the capabilities of the current team and in it's methods to handle the servers matters with the wisdom and reason I've come to expect of them over the years. To address underlying issues instead of keeping them swept under the rug. To know how to reach out and listen to the problems of the community and to resolve these issues so that there will not be backlash and sour grapes.
I understand that now less than 10 active players remain. To point out any specific reason as to why that is the case is beyond us all- but ultimately it boils down to the fact that needs of the people who have left remain unanswered. Even so, these ten players have the resources as good as any of us in the past to breed new life to the community, if they manage to see past this time of hardship and instead focus to tell the amazing stories they originally set out to make here. In the past, I've ever emphasized the importance of movers and shakers as the lifeblood of this community, and that remains the case. They were the ones who made the storylines we logged in every night and day to see unfold- and they are the ones that will eventually bring the people back. And with NWN:EE bringing new players into the fold- now is a time as good as any to step up and show what you can do!
My advice to the members of the team that still truly care and have the will to do something- is to listen to these players who remain, and ensure they are provided with what they need to make the best out of their IG time to tell the stories they have set out to do. What you Terris suggest as remedy however appears to serve the opposite. The server does not need a dictators grip anymore, it needs to move past that. We had our time where an iron hammer was used to strike down all ye unworthy fools, and it worked when the server did have a healthy population and 55/55 days. Today, in terms of player numbers, we have returned to the early stages of the community- and during that stage, we need to be tolerant, understanding and respectful of each other as equal contributors so that we can grow. And if you have a beef with another player, bring it up, and try to get it fixed. That is how healthy organizations do it in real life aswell. But banning someone, should be the last option to consider.

RE: Out of Game / Leaving Thread
Bhaliir was rendered immobile this week due to OOC issues and I have since found no motivation to play. This will continue to be the case until something changes.
