Thanks for the pointers on compiling and spawning, I really appreciate it, including the time you spent in helping me out. I'll make sure I look into this as soon as this annoying race thing is fixed.

I have changed the race-strings into integers and made sure that only single equal signs were used. Sad thing is it didn't help. I still get the same behavior. "Human" and "Drow, female" characters spawn in UD with a faction that makes the Drow that live there attack both of them on sight. (With much success of course, both get slapped into the Fugue plane where the Statue sends them to... Benzor, home of the non-Drow and non-Duergar.

Weird thing is that when I put the single equal sign in drow_recog.nss if (GetRacialType(GetPCSpeaker()) = 163 || 164) I get the following error when compiling: "ERROR:CANNOT ASSIGN A VALUE TO THE LEFT-SIDE OF THIS STATEMENT"
Double equal sign does compile. Same goes for duergar_recog.nss

hc_on_client_enter.nss does not compile and gives the following error:
sei_subraces.nss(740): ERROR: INVALID DECLARATION TYPE
Line 740 in sei_subraces.nss looks like this:  return nSubrace;

The same thing happens with hc_play_on_death.nss and hc_on_ply_respawn.nss

rr_enter.nss does not compile and gives the following error:
rr_enter.nss(250): ERROR: NO RIGHT BRACKET ON EXPRESSION
Line 250 in rr_enter.nss looks like this:  if(use_pc_subrace())

The same thing happens with wizbang_drow.nss

Man, this is a LOT harder than I expected.

1.) Which area is the server guide?

The Server Guide is a statue in The Gateway to Nordock, the first area players enter. It gives information and sends players to their starting area in Underdark Central (Drow), Duergar caverns (Duergar) or Benzor (rest of the races).

2.) What ever you choose to do, let me make one suggestion, don't use encounters.  Get a nice spawn system like NESS or BESIE to spawn your creatures & placables in.  Saves a good bit of memory especially in large modules.

I prefer & can give you pointers for NESS.

Thanks a lot for that one, sure will look into it. I can use *any* advice or hints with building this PW, and this seems like another good one.

I hate to say it, but you guys are going to have some pretty serious scripting hurdles getting this module to work properly with the PRC & I'm not just talking about the subrace stuff.

Thanks a lot for looking into this!
Surely seems like we have some work to do... But I think it's worth it so I have some work to do now.

Thank you both DM Heatstroke and Fluffy for your help. I really appreciate it.
I'll keep you posted when I make any progress.

Since I'm working on Ranger Jim's Nordock mod now I feel free to close this thread since problems as described in the original post have been solved. Help from DM Heartstroke helped a LOT. Thanks heaps!

Thanks a lot for your suggestions, DM Heartstroke. In the mean time I found that when I use the Bioware CC to make an Elf and set the subrace to "Drow" the subrace does get read because the dialogue that asks me for my race and subrace does not show up, I get the (buffed, the way Shirley's subrace system works) ability boni and spawn in the Underdark. So something is working. With the hints you gave I 'll look into the scripts again and hope I'll find out that is happening here. If I hit that good old brick wall again I will make sure to PM you for advice.

Thanks again, your help with this is much appreciated.

Hello DM Heatstroke, thanks for your quick reply.

No, I don't think so. It's a clean Nordock with only the subrace system Nordock uses (written by Shir'le E. Illios who has seemed to disappear from the face of Faerun) patched with the PRC pack.
