We havent' changed him from the BW blueprint. Summons are all generally set to Faction: Defender in the toolset, which adopts the caster's faction I think.
Duster has some scripts related to quests that may manipulate factions down there. I'm not sure we can do much beyond suggesting dismissing your pets to intereact witht he PCs, but we'll double check their initial faction setups. Thanks for the report.  -shad -------------------- Dreu Noctem

IIRC, everybody in SRC is either Defender, Commoner, or Enemy. Faction shifting only occurs via Conv-option or and out-right attack on an NPC.

It sounds like you may have tagged an NPC somewhere with an attack spell cast in town or something Vic. Can you reproduce these effects now that the server's reset? -shad -------------------- Dreu Noctem

Two days ago, I partied with Triv and the Giedi guards went berserk on his elemental.

Nope: we entered NS from the forest and everyone was blue: Vic went to rest and his fam wnet batshit. Note also that AFAIK EMS will NEVER target neutrals with AOEs, even if we had been casting in NS. -------------------- azmaveth> so, for my first stint as a dm, I feel the need to spawn a dragon or two on a party of babies...

It sounds like a pretty generic thing then, if it is impacting stuff as varied as elemental summons and familiars and planar bound bad guys. No idea offhand what's wrong though, specifically.
If you can post any kind of details that seem to point to a solution, that might help. -shad -------------------- Dreu Noctem

Some of the bad guy';s summons in the easter egg looked like they weren't attacking when they should have been. Dunno if it's related or not.

Not related but when I hit Claire with Mordikainen's Disjunction last night, the kid in NS ran as if I'd performed a hostile action. I didn't check whether he went hostile tho.
Could the hostility controls be damaged somehow? Kalli |

arQon has already noticed some sort of hostility bug related to dispels, so that may be related Em. People testing stuff in NS couple be screwing up factions until reset if timmy or johnny are in the area.

Thank you D. This sounds like Vic's report here a bit:
http://nwn.vector-inc.com/index.php?showtopic=2344 *** It almost sounds to me like the act of calling a summons is somehow signalling itself as a hostile act against nearby friendlies (we're using BW standard defender and commoner factions in the areas reporting problems). Summoned monsters, as a rule of thumb, are defaulted to Defender faction as well, though they adopt their master's faction when they're spawned. I geuss there could either be problems with the summon scripts, or with the ellie Onspawn AI scripts, or with the guard OnPerceive AI hook. Most of our AI stuff is fairly stock BW stuff though, with DMFI and a few bug fixes added in. Did the ellie initiate contact? If not, did it defend itself after the guards attacked? Did the guards attack you, or did you join in the fight on your own? -shad -------------------- Dreu Noctem

My experience:
The guards attack. The ellie fights back. The guard remains Defenders to me, so they don't attack me if I don't attack them. -------------------- Veni, vidi, dormivi. - I came, I saw... I slept.
