Known for their ruthless crusading, fervent devotion to the Wyrm Dragon and the Blood Moon that rises on the eve of their conquests. Surrounding lands recognize the rising of the Blood Moon as a sign of the Raiders' insatiable blood lust coming into focus on their precarious hold on life and freedom. Their history long lost and only known by the Raiders themselves, only myth, legend and rumor inform the doomed defenders of the Raiders' choosen victim nations.

NWN: DB Methodology
This thread is intended to be used for NWN v1.x DB Methodology questions and discussions.
Database. There are at least 2 DB's that can be used to support/maintain your worlds. An external group has come up with one, supposed to allow you to connect to any type of DB, I believe (SQL, MySQL, Access, etc.) And Bioware supposedly has released one, which has some pro's to it, but also, I think from what I read, it is not as flexible. We'll want to study up on this. Using a DB is how they are saving story information from player to player across server instances, and when they update/change a module. Your scripting saves the info to the DB, and retrieves it when you reload.
Here is an example of some references to usage of the different types of DB engines people are leveraging. You read thru these for very long, the DB engines definitely sound like the way to go.
