Neverwinter Nights v1.66

Patch details: Neverwinter Nights Game =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= WARNING! AS OF THIS PATCH, ALL MODULES CREATED/SAVED WITH THE VERSION 1.66 TOOLSET ARE TAGGED AS REQUIRING VERSION 1.66 OR HIGHER OF NEVERWINTER NIGHTS GAME OR TOOLSET. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BRAND YOUR MODULE AS 1.66 THEN DO NOT EDIT YOUR MODULE IN THE VERSION 1.66 TOOLSET. IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO 1.65, WE WILL HAVE A 1.66 TO 1.65 PATCH AVAILABLE. - Official Campaign: Chapter 2E - Made Voleron's OnDeath script a bit more robust. - HotU: Chapter 2 - Fixed an issue that could sometimes occur during the battle in the Environs near the end of Chapter 2. You should no longer get stuck and be unable to move if the Battle Herald does not approach you and initiate a conversation with you (this fix will retroactively fix saved games exhibiting this issue, but only if you load a saved game from before you entered the Environs). - Added a new command line parameter for automatically loading a module in single player. This will cause the module to be loaded and takes the player to the premade character select screen. +LoadNewModule "module name that needs quotes if it contains spaces" - Added a new command line parameter for automatically testing a module in single player. This will cause the module to be loaded and then starts the module using the first character listed on the premade character select screen. +TestNewModule "module name that needs quotes if it contains spaces" - Added 3 portraits and 3 music themes from the BioWare Premium Modules Kingmaker, ShadowGuard, and Witch's Wake 1 to game resources. - Fixed an issue that was causing the game to slow down and become unplayable at the start of SoU Chapter 2. - Fixed an issue with creatures some times occupying the same space. This should happen a lot less frequently now. - Extended the glowing monk eye effect to work on all the default playable races. - Neutral monks now get ultra cool purple glowing eyes. - Fixed placement of glowing monk eyes on Human/Half-Elf females (much thanks to the DLA team for their help with this). - Fixed placement of helmets on Human/Half-Elf females (much thanks to the DLA team for their help with this). - Added server support for the ability to refuse player login attempts if the master server could not be reached. In the nwnplayer.ini files under the heading [Server Options] set the follwowing option to '1' "Master Server Authentication Required For Player Login=1" - Added the ability to turn on/off the Heartbeat logging in the log file (default is now off). In the nwnplayer.ini file under [Game Options] set "Heartbeat Logging=1" in order to turn the Heartbeat logging back on. - Added a new nwnplayer.ini setting to have the server do some spell validation for spells cast by players. Under [Server Options] set "Validate Spells=1". Note: If you are using an edited spells.2da that is only being used server side, you may want to disable this option if your players are finding that they can't cast certain spells anymore (the log file should indicated if this is happening). - Added new option to the nwnplayer.ini file under [Server Options] "Account validation required during Master Server down times=1" If this option is turned on, the server will track the public CD-Keys of each player logging onto the server. If the Master Server ever goes down for any reason (e.g. for scheduled maintenance) then the server will validate itself that the player name of any new player trying to connect is in fact using the same public cd-key that they last logged in with. - Fixed an issue with the Greater Sanctuary icon some times incorrectly showing up as the regular Sanctuary icon. - Fixed an issue with Damage Immunities not working correctly once they were stacked way too high above 100%. - Fixed an issue with the Enable Texture Animations advanced video setting not being restored correctly when restarting the game (if it was turned off). - Fixed Damage Immunities against weapons with more than one damage type (e.g. Halberds with slashing/piercing damage) to work correctly. - Immunity to "Mind Affecting Spells" will no longer make you immune to the Monk's Stunning Fist attack. - Wounding effects are now removed from creatures once you leave the area that the wounded creature is in. - Added skyboxes back into the outdoor areas of the original Official Campaign. - Fixed an issue that could rarely cause your character to become illegal if you leveled up during an episode of game lag. - The "Single Player Enforce Legal Characters" setting in the nwnplayer.ini file has been disabled. ELC is now always turned off in single player games. - Fixed an issue that was causing creatures to always face east when sitting on a stool placeable (plc_x05.pwk). - Fixed another issue where under specific circumstances items would not show up in your inventory panel. - Immunity to mind spells no longer makes you immune to the Assasin's Death Attack. - Sneak/Death attacks now properly respect the Pale Master's Deathless Mastery feat. - Fixed a minor animation issue that could occur if you performed a Whirlwind attack while you had some 2 handed weapons equipped. - Fixed some issues with Tile "time of day" animations. This was causing flickering and other issues at the end of a DayToNight/NightToDay transition. - Fixed an issue with the Force Field door sounds using the default wooden door sounds (placeableobjsnds.2da, genericdoors.2DA). - Fixed an issue related to copying a creature from a hak pak through scripting and then saving and loading the hak pak saved game from inside gameplay (was causing some different weird issues). - Added support for WeaponType 5 (Bludgeoning and Piercing) in the BaseItems.2da. - Updated Morningstars to use the new Bludgeoning and Piercing WeaponType (BaseItems.2da). - The following weapons have had their WeaponType changed to 3 (Slashing) in the BaseItems.2da in order to bring them inline with 3rd edition D&D rules (and their NWN in game descriptions): Longsword, Bastard sword, Greatsword, Katana, and Double Axe. - Added missing armor proficiency to Gnolls. - Made some fixes to prevent game/character hacking. Sorry, but we will never publicly discuss specific changes to the game with regards to hacking the game.

DM Client: =-=-=-=-=- - DMs can now still login to a server when the server is full, so that they are not prevented from performing any required administration tasks. If you go above the 64 player maximum, server performance may be adversely affected until some players leave the server (your mileage may vary). - The game no longer displays encumbered feedback messages for DMs, since they actually can't ever be encumbered.

Neverwinter Nights Aurora Toolset: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-= - Added two new item scripting commands GetPickpocketableFlag and SetPickpocketableFlag. - Added a "Test Module" option to the toolset's Build menu that allows you to quick launch the game (for testing module changes). Selecting this option will give you the choice of saving your module changes. The game will then automatically launch, load the module, select the first available premade character in the list and enter gameplay with that character. The Hot Key for this new functionality is F9. - Fixed an error that was causing some of the Group "Home Lower/Upper" tiles in the city interior tileset to appear as duplicates of some of the other "Home" tiles (tinpalstd.itp). This change makes some new "Home" tile types available for placing in the toolset. - Fixed an issue with answering no to any warnings that appear during module opening causing any subsequently opened module to potentially become corrupt. - Fixed comments for the scripting commands EffectSavingThrowIncrease and EffectSavingThrowDecrease (nwscript.nss). - The GetIsImmune scripting command now reports the proper result when the creature specified has the Pale Master's Deathless Mastery feat. - Fixed a stack underflow error when the scripting command GetStandardFactionReputation was called with an invalid creature object as an argument. - Fixed an issue with the scripting command GetStandardFactionReputation returning -1 when called on the defender faction with a PC creature object specified. - Fixed an issue with the scripting command SetFogColor when used to set the sun fog color in an always dark area (or the moon fog color in an always bright area). - Added some missing IP_CONST_FEAT_* constants to nwscript.nss - Fixed a Copy area/script/dialog issue that was making it look like the toolset was loosing data and could sometimes lead to a crash. - Fixed an issue with the script compiler that could cause a Stack Underflow error when a switch statement was placed inside a Do/While loop. There is also a new command line compiler in the Neverwinter Nights utils directory that includes this fix (clcompile.exe). - Fixed an issue with the scripting command GetCasterLevel when used from within a feat script for a feat that was granted at first level (e.g. Cleric Protection Domain Powers). - Added two new creature related scripting commands GetFootstepType and SetFootstepType. - Fixed an issue related to using the scripting command CopyObject on a player's associate.

Script Debugger: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - Fixed a compiler issue that was causing the script debugger (DebugServer.exe that is in your NWN utils directory) to not work properly when stepping into/out of case statements (see the scripting command SpawnScriptDebugger for more information regarding the script debugger).

Server-specific: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - Added server support for the ability to refuse player login attempts if the master server could not be reached. In the nwnplayer.ini files under the heading [Server Options] set the follwowing option to '1' "Master Server Authentication Required For Player Login=1" - Added the ability to turn on/off the Heartbeat logging in the log file (default is now off). In the nwnplayer.ini file under [Game Options] set "Heartbeat Logging=1" in order to turn the Heartbeat logging back on. - Added a new nwnplayer.ini setting to have the server do some spell validation for spells cast by players. Under [Server Options] set "Validate Spells=1". Note: If you are using an edited spells.2da that is only being used server side, you may want to disable this option if your players are finding that they can't cast certain spells anymore (the log file should indicated if this is happening). - Added new option to the nwnplayer.ini file under [Server Options] "Account validation required during Master Server down times=1" If this option is turned on, the server will track the public CD-Keys of each player logging onto the server. If the Master Server ever goes down for any reason (e.g. for scheduled maintenance) then the server will validate itself that the player name of any new player trying to connect is in fact using the same public cd-key that they last logged in with.

Scripting-specific: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= - Made Invisibility Purge work correctly with Invisibility that is granted through special abilities such as the Assasin's Invisibility (NW_S0_InvPurgeA.NSS). - Fixed an issue with Wail of the Banshee sometimes requiring the first target to make two saving throws instead of one (nw_s0_wailbansh.nss). - Implosion now properly ignores immunity to death magic (nw_s0_implosion.nss). - Fixed the maximized damage healed for cure spells (nw_i0_spells.nss) - Cure spells now do DAMAGE_TYPE_POSITIVE to undead rather than DAMAGE_TYPE_NEGATIVE (nw_i0_spells.nss). - Phantasmal Killer now properly respects Fear immunity and properly ignores Death Magic immunity (nw_s0_phankill.nss). - Weird now properly ignores Death Magic immunity (nw_s0_weird.nss). - Mind fog now properly respects immunity to mind affecting spells (nw_s0_mindfoga.nss). - The item properties "Immunity: Specific Spell [Gaze Petrification/Touch Petrification/Breath Petrification]" now work properly against monster petrification effects (x0_i0_spells.nss). - Fixed an issue with Choking Powder heart beat script not repecting poison immunity ( x0_s3_chokehb.nss ). - Fixed an issue with the way the damage calculation was being done for the Cone of Frost monster ability (nw_s1_conecold.nss). - Made the Shifter's Manticore's spike script work correctly in the case when it is inappropriately given to an NPC Manticore monster by mistake (x2_s1_gwspikes.nss). - Fix to Negative Energy Ray, to properly calculate the damage for a successul saving throw (nw_s0_negray.nss). - Fixed the extended duration for Divine Favor (x0_s0_divfav.nss). - Made a change to the Wyrmling Breath, Dragon Breath and Petrifying Gaze attacks used by some of the Shifter shapes. Previously if you targeted yourself with one of these attacks the cone attack would damage creatures East from your location, it will now be directed forwards from your character instead. (x2_s2_edragbrth.nss, x2_s1_wyrmbreath.nss, x2_s1_petrgaze.nss). - Made the same above fix for the RDD dragon breath ability (x2_s2_discbreath). - Updated the duration of "Camouflage/Mass Camouflage" to bring these spells more inline with 3rd edition rules (x0_i0_spells.nss, x0_s0_masscamo.nss). Also updated the in game spell descriptions to reflect the change.

Custom Content: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= - Added a new column to the feat.2da "ReqAction" (all default NWN feats have this value set to 1 and if the column is missing from the feats.2da, such as in a hak pak, it will also default to 1). Turning this off means that the adjusted feat will no longer require an action from the object (it fires immediately, takes no action, and ignores your action queue entirely). In order to use this new functionality you need to do the following: 1) Set the "ReqAction" value for the feat to 0 in the feat.2da 2) Have a spellID associated with the feat in the feat.2da. 3) Have a "ImpactScript" specified in the spells.2da for the spellID that you specified in the feat.2da The ImpactScript will then fire immediately when the feat is used. - Walk meshes now work when placed at heights above -30 (previous lower limit was -10). - Added an option to change/increase the selector height (when placing tiles) in the tileset "set" file. In order to use this you must add a new setting called "SelectorHeight" to the set file and specify the desired float value for this setting. The selector height will continue to default to the transition height if it has not been specified. - Added more tile path nodes types m, n, o, and p. For custom tile set support.

TYPE m				TYPE n   -           - [ | | | ]          [ | | | ]     [-+ | +-]           [-+ + +-]     [   +   ]           [       ]     [-+ | +-]           [-+ + +-]     [ | | | ]           [ | | | ]     -           -

TYPE o				TYPE p   -           - [ | | | ]          [ |   | ]    [-+ | | ]           [-+   | ]    [   + +-]           [-+   +-]    [-+ | | ]           [-+   | ]    [ | | | ]           [ |   | ]    -           -

You will no longer take an AOO while you are using a healing kit. - Circle Kick should no longer try to target creatures that you can not reach (which was making you become flat footed). - Whirlwind attack will no longer leave you stuck in combat mode after using it. You will now also try to reaquire your original target after a Whirlwind attack (may not succeed if your target is now dead or gone). - Damage Shields (e.g. Mestil's Acid Sheath ) now affect the melee attacker when the attacker hits the creature that has a damage shield (rather than only when they damage the shielded creature). - Fixed an issue where respawning encounters would stop working under certain circumstances when saving and reloading the game. - Fixed an issue with unlimited ammo not being identified when you equipped a weapon that had the unlimited ammo property. - Fixed an issue with some single shot traps not applying damage correctly. - Fixed a crash that would occur when an NPC tried to drop a container on the ground. - Fixed an issue with True Seeing being removed incorrectly when you had mutliple True Seeing effects stacked and only one of them was supposed to be removed. - Fixed an issue with some effects from Haste (extra attacks and spell casting benefits) not being updated correctly when you had multiple haste effects applied and only one of them was removed.

Patch details for 1.64: Neverwinter Nights Game =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= WARNING! AS OF THIS PATCH, ALL MODULES CREATED/SAVED WITH THE VERSION 1.64 TOOLSET ARE TAGGED AS REQUIRING VERSION 1.64 OR HIGHER OF NEVERWINTER NIGHTS GAME OR TOOLSET. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BRAND YOUR MODULE AS 1.64 THEN DO NOT EDIT YOUR MODULE IN THE VERSION 1.64 TOOLSET. IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO 1.62, WE WILL HAVE A 1.64 TO 1.62 PATCH AVAILABLE. - Original Campaign: Fixed an issue with Sharwyn not using her Bard Song ability (this should not affect Sharwyn in HotU). - Original Campaign: Chapter 2 - The scene at the Pinnacle of the Host Tower should now always fire properly, no matter what. - Original Campaign: Chapter 2 - Lenton isn't as busy as he used to be (you can now talk to him again). - Original Campaign: Prelude - Fixed a minor error that could occur under specific circumstances when opening a certain chest. - HotU: Chapter 2 - Fixed an issue that could cause the game to crash when specific spells were active in the Wizard's Tower in Shaori's fell. - HotU: Chapter 2 - Fixed an issue with the teleporter to the Grand Hall in Zorvak'Mur, as it wasn't working properly under a specific set of circumstances. - HotU: Chapter 3 - Fix to a rare bug in the Windswept Battlefield area where the 'boss' creature wouldn't spawn in properly, which made him somewhat difficult to kill. - HotU: Chapter 3 - When the game ends, we now remove the non-droppable (cursed) flag from all items before doing the final export of the character. This is so that when you take the character into another module, you can drop items such as the Relic of the Reaper. - If you already have a character who can't get rid of the Relic (or another item), you can do the following (in single player) - in the chat bar, type: ##DebugMode 1 ##runscript nw_itemreset ##DebugMode 0 - If you use this script so that you can drop an item which is part of the module you're currently playing, don't be surprised if the game breaks later on (because the module will expect you to have the item). Only use it to get rid of items that have been stuck to your character from other modules. - Made some fixes to prevent game/character hacking. Sorry, but we will never publicly discuss specific changes to the game with regards to hacking the game. - Added a new ini setting to nwnplayer.ini [Server Options] "Saving Throw Automatic Failure On 1=1". If turned off (0), you will no long fail saving throws on a roll of 1 if your total saving throw with bonuses beats the required DC. - Added a new Sub Net Profiling system (which logs bandwidth usage). To activate it, go to nwn.ini and in the [Game Options] section add in "Enable SubNet Profiling=1". A log file called SubNetProfile.log will be created in your root Neverwinter Nights directory once the game/server shuts down. - Added new "Max Memory Usage" ini setting to [Game Options] in the nwnplayer.ini file. This allows you to set the amount of available memory (in Megs) that the game will use for caching resources in memory. Adding more memory for the cache may improve performance up to a point, after which increasing the cache size any more most likely wont do much. Your mileage may vary. - Fixed an issue that could cause the game to crash under certain circumstances when the player entered cutscene mode while their character was able to level up. - Fixed an issue that was causing the "Greater Shadow Conjuration Web" spell to have a DC of 127. Should also fix the DC for other spells that also appear on a sub-radial menu. - Fixed problem with shifters losing their merged item properties while in shifted form after a server save occurred, and when switching directly from one form to another using the radial menu. - Fixed a problem where unpolymorphing could sometimes leave you walking around just fine while you have zero or less hit points. - Fixed a bug that could cause some visual effects to be displayed on your character forever. Most often reported occurrence of this problem was the green paint effect from the goblin archers in the HotU official campaign. - Fixed some other issues that could cause effects to not be removed properly from a creature. - Fixed some issues with the Red Dragon Disciple not getting the proper hit die rolled at level up. - Fixed problem with characters becoming illegal if they multiclassed to a wizard, but their intelligence was too low to even cast cantrips. - Devastating Critical now works with bows. - Fixed a problem with the PaleMaster's Deathless Vigor feat not always giving the correct hit points. - Fixed a issue with the hit points displayed on the level-up summary screen if you just took the toughness feat during your level-up. - Fixed the dispel magic text message feedback. It wasn't always displaying the correct spell names. - Fixed a problem where some quickbar tooltips were not getting cleared properly when the quickslot became empty. - The familiar selection screen will no longer display the familiar's current hit points at 0 all the time. - The game no longer displays the "Experience Points Gained:" message when the experience points gained was 0. - Lootable corpses wont be stripped of items until after the corpse has been looted by a player. - Fixed a problem with the wrong message being displayed if you tried to load a module that required one of the expansions packs to use and you didn't have the required expansion pack installed. - Fixed a problem with the experience point penalty not always being calculated properly for multiclass characters that had taken a prestige class. - Fixed a problem with custom portraits showing up on your party bar as a white box until the player using the portrait entered the same area as you. - Fixed a problem with Whirlwind Attack data sometimes being incorrectly sent to players in other areas. - Fixed a problem with the Age/Deity information getting lost when you edited an existing character using the "Customize Character" feature. - EffectDispelMagicBest now takes into account the level of the creator of the spell that it is trying to dispel, for determining whether the spell is actually dispelled successfully or not. - Fixed item properties "Immunity: Damage Type Positive Energy" and "Immunity: Damage Type Negative Energy" - Fixed issue, where if you lost a level and no longer had the required level for an item that you had equipped, your character would become illegal. The item is now unequipped automatically if you don't have the level required to equip it after losing a level. - Fixed an issue with non-hostile actions (e.g. rest) getting canceled when someone joins your party. Made some changes so that not all hostile actions (i.e. attacks and spells) get canceled when a someone joins your party. Some hostile actions will still be canceled when someone joins your party (and all attack/spells actions directed against other players) which is the intentional behavior. - Fixed a problem with the OnStoreClosed scripts not working in saved games. - Fixed a couple of problems that could make your inventory items disappear when opening your inventory. One was related to having a placeable container open and then bringing up other panels (e.g. your spell book) that caused your inventory panel to close. The second involved possessing/unpossessing a familiar while your inventory was open. Hopefully that's the last of the disappearing inventory problems. - Fixed a problem where if you saved and reloaded a game while in defensive stance, you could no longer move. - Fixed a problem with the remaining number of feat uses for some prestige classes not being calculated correctly when loading a saved game. - The Epic Fire Trap item in the standard item palette now has the correct icon. - Fixed some saving throw text feedback weirdness with some "On Hit" item properties. Affects Slay Racial Group, Slay Alignment, and Slay Alignment Group item properties. - Fixed an issue where clicking "Cancel" in the game options menu wouldn't properly restore your orignal "Hide Secondary Story Tiles" setting. - Fixed some issues with head turning. Creatures will no longer turn their heads to look at cutscene invisible players. After going through an area transition, NPCs will now still turn their heads to look at players. - Fixed crash caused by calling TriggerProjectileTrap with SPELL_MELFS_ACID_ARROW specified and oOrigin was a static placeable object. - Fixed a problem where clients wouldn't play the spell casting sound if the character casting the spell had the Automatic Silent feat, regardless of the level of the spell that was being cast. - Fixed a problem with the "Automatic Still" feat not working correctly with sub-radial spells (e.g. Shadow Conjuration). - Fixed a problem with no longer being able to sit in a chair if you had previously destroyed an object while that object was still sitting in the chair. - Red Dragon Disciple wings will now be properly removed on level down. - The Cloud of Bewilderment scroll item now has the correct description. - Added a new ini setting to nwnplayer.ini [Game Options] ClientEntireChatWindowLogging=1 (Defaults to off). Turning this option on will cause all text in the in-game chat window to be logged to the log file (regardless of whether or not you have set certain chat messages to be filtered). - Fixed a minor gui scroll bar issue. - Fixed a problem where the new Day/Night music track wouldn't play if you used SetTime to suddenly change the current time of day from Day to Night or from Night to Day. - Fixed a problem where "Seamlessly looping" sound effects would not play again after being turned off during a Day/Night transition. - Fixed some issues related to logging out of a multiplayer game while possessing a familiar. - Fixed some memory leaks. - Made some optimizations to the game's resource caching system. - Made several game stability fixes.

DM Client: =-=-=-=-=- - Added ability for DMs to create items directly inside placeable containers (e.g. chests) using the creator. Choose the item to be created in the creator, and then target a placeable to have the item created directly inside the placeable. - If you drag a "Create " item from the creator menu to your quickbar, it will now give you useful tooltips for all your DM Creator Quickbar buttons (this will NOT retroactively add the new tooltips to existing DM quickbar buttons). There are also new quickbar icons for the different major categories (i.e. placeables, items, triggers and encounters). - DMs can now move undroppable items between a player's inventory and their own inventory and they can drop undroppable items now too. - DMs can now use items on their quickbar while possessing creatures with full powers (i.e. if the item is in the DM's inventory, but not the creature's inventory). - DMs can no longer force rest other DMs. - DMs can no longer jump other DMs around. - Fixed some issues with loading saved games that were saved while a DM was possessing a creature. This could lead to a number of different symptoms such as: DMs getting stuck inside creatures and not being able to unpossess them; DMs not being able to possess creatures that they should be able to possess; creatures disappearing entirely from the saved game; or the server crashing. - Disabled the ability to polymorph while possessing a creature, since doing this would wreck your game. - If a DM gave more gold to a player than the player could carry, the feedback message was indicating the wrong amount of gold gained. - Fixed a bug where you sometimes couldn't drag items onto your quickbar anymore after DM possessing/unpossessing creatures. - DMs no longer broadcast "DM uses " messages to other players when using an item in their DM's inventory. If possessing a creature and using an item from the possessed creature's inventory, then a message will still be broadcast as usual stating " uses ". - Fixed a minor issue where you could hear the DM's footsteps for a few seconds after they disappeared.

Neverwinter Nights Aurora Toolset: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-= - Added the new SetSkyBox scripting command.

They were showing up under the wrong headings in the server details page. - Made some fixes to skyboxes for their display and their transitions. - Creatures now drop out of stealth mode and lose invisibility effects when they die.

The unsupported class will be displayed as "Barbarian". - Fixed a bug in the encounter system that would cause 1st level creatures to be spawned in once your character was above 20th level. This change affects all modules that are NOT the official campaign. - Clicking OK in the sound options menu will now correctly save the selected sound provider selected in the Advanced Sound Options gui to the nwn.ini file. Rather than overriding it with the preferred sound provider, which could be different. - Fixed a display issue with the Henchman stealth mode/spell mode radial menu options. - Fixed the Zen Archery Feat so that it is now used for non-touch ranged attacks instead of just ranged touch attacks. - There were a number of problems with the calculations to attack bonuses for Melee Touch Attacks.

If the merged stack overflowed, then CreateItemOnObject will return the overflowed stack that was created. This also fixes a Scribe Scroll bug, where if you created a new scroll and you had an existing scroll in your inventory, it would state that you failed, but the scroll would be created anyways. - Fixed an issue when calling SetCutsceneMode(FALSE) and it not clearing the player's plot flag. - The SurrenderToEnemies scripting command now removes wounding effects from the surrendering creature, so that you can talk to them. - We now allow users to specify any Camera Traslation Speed. - Made a fix to CreateObject so that objects created are done from their templates so they can pick up template variables. - The GetLastClosedBy scripting command now works in the OnStoreClosed event of stores.

ERF import and export is faster now and uses less memory. - Significantly sped up saving custom creature palettes by not doing a full creature load in order to get the CR and FactionID. Instead, it now specifically reads only those fields out of the utc. However, this means that the CR is no longer recalculated, so if anything happened to invalide the CR since the creature was last saved, the CR saved to the custom palette will still be invalid. - Build Module Dialog: - Double-clicking an instance in the message listbox will also edit that instance in its property dialog, not just focus on the instance. - Double-clicking a journal-related message in the messages listbox will open the journal editor. - Added OnPlayerEquipItem and OnPlayerUnEquipItem event to module properties.

Doors: - Invisible door models in doortypes.2da (VisibleModel = 0) now show up in the Unique Door Appearances dropdown in the Door Properties Dialog, regardless of what tileset the current area is using. - Door Dialog now checks TileSet0, TileSet1, TileSet3 columns in doortypes.2da if the TileSet column does not match the currently open area's tileset. If one of those additional columns matches the current area's tileset, then that door appearance is selectable. - Door Wizard now sets OnDeath=x2_door_death for new Doors.

Placeable Objects: - Added Environment-mapping support for placeable objects by reading "Reflection" column from placeables.2da. **** means no reflection. "default" means use the default env map. Any other value means to use the named TGA file.

Sound: - The Audio page of the Area Properties dialog will no longer show music tracks that do not exist. - The Audio page of the Area Properties dialog will no longer show ambient sound tracks that do not exist. - Fixed bug where the ambient sound dropdowns, on the Audio page of the Area Properties dialog, were not using the DisplayName column in ambientsound.2da when no StrRef was present in the Description column.

Conversation Editor: - Fixed bug where the Text Dump function in the Conversation Editor function would not restore the toolset's original working folder after saving the text dump. - removed Looping checkbox for animations in a conversation node. It never worked correctly, and making it would would require the artists to create two copies of every animation in the list--a fire and forget and a looping one. - Added context menu option in area viewer to directly edit the conversation of an instance.

SpellCheck: - Removed MS Word SpellCheck.

Journal: - Fixed bug where recent changes to the LocName and Comments of a Journal Category would be discarded when R-clicking the treenode for that journal category.

Factions: - Added progress bars to faction updates when OKing the Faction Editor.

Plot Wizard: - Fixed bug in Plot Wizard where it would insert OnAcquireItem lines at the top of the Module OnAcquireItem script, if that script already existed, but did not contain any previous Plot Wizard modifications. - Fixed bug in plot node wizard where a node that uses the designated villain cast member would always be loaded up with the "Conflict with Villain" radio button checked, even if it was saved with the "Conversation" button checked.

Multi-Language Support: - Fixed toolset always using English as the user's language ID. It now uses the language in dialog.tlk - Fixed LocString dialog, when initially showing itself, showing the first available embedded string if no string for the user's current language could be found. - Fixed conversation dialog tree always displaying locstrings in English. It will now display in the current language - Fixed bug where a LocString control would have its displayed text added to the locstring on initial creation when the displayed text is not for the current language. - If a localized text control cannot find a string in the specified language and gender, it will search for a string in the specified language but opposite gender, before it searches for a strref or string in another language. - After clicking OK in the multilanguage string dialog, the text in the LocString field would be set to the first available language's string. If the string shown was not for the current language, it would then change the current language's string to the displayed string. Fixed so that it no longer sets the text for the current language on returning from the multilanguage dialog. - Added Default Editing Language option so that the user can set the default language for editing locstrings to something other than the language specified in the user's dialog.tlk file. Note that this only affects user-entered module text, not the actual GUI labels. (eg., an English user can edit a module as if he were German, with all localized strings showing up and being saved in German instead of English.)

DM Client: =-=-=-=-=- - Fixed HP sometimes displaying as 0/0 in DM party bar. - DMs will now be included in Attack, Damage, and Death messages as if they were a member of the party - Fix so that you can't send a DM possessed creature into Limbo - Fixed another instance of the bug when a DM cancels out of game options screen the difficulty was being set to easy. - Fixed bug where if a DM stole an item directly from a players equipped slot the weight encumbrance of that character was not being recalulated.

Scripting-specific: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= - Added a number of HotU scripting commands including: GetCreatureStartingPackage SetCameraHeigth ForceRest SetStolenFlag GetIsCreatureDisarmable GetItemPropertyParam1Value GetItemPropertyParam1 GetItemPropertyCostTableValue GetItemPropertyCostTable GetIsInSubArea EffectCutsceneImmobilize - this effect is meant for the Dwarven Defender's defensive stance. it roots the creature to the spot so that they can't move but grants no other penalties. It cannot be resisted (even by Freedom of Movement) - We now drop items at the object's position when CopyItem or CopyAndModifyItem fails to add the new item to the inventory. - Fix to CopyAndModifyItem to not always drop the items at your feet - Fixed a crash when an area attempted to do an ActionSpeakString - StartNewModule will no longer crash if the module name is invalid

Neverwinter Nights Aurora Toolset: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-= - Added a new system for script caching on the game server. You can now cache your most frequently called scripts to help improve performance. Go to "Module Properties" and click on the new "Cached Scripts" tab. - Added ability to save and load a set of spell selections on the Spells tab of Creatures. Uh, is this the coolest thing ever, or what? - Added buttons on Scripts page of various object types to save an load a set of script assignments. Actually, this is pretty darn cool, too. - Added Autolevelup Package dropdown to Classes tab for Creatures, for use when autolevelling up a creature via scripting. - Changed representation of current area's treenode in the area treeview. Instead of being in bold text, it now uses the Script Editor's keyword color. Bold text was causing sizing issues with certain fonts, most notably in Japanese. - When deleting temp0 folder, delete read-only files as well as files of types unknown to the resource manager. If the directory cannot be removed, show an error message. - Added double-click support to Inventory dialog. Double-clicking a treeview item sends it to the backpack/store. Double-clicking a backpack item attempts to equip it. Double-clicking an equipped item unequips it. - Added Cancel button to Build Module progress bar. - Added warnings when editing a resource that is in a Hak Pak, and added option to enable/disable the resource-is-in-Hak-Pak warning. - Fixed creation of temp directories for new modules so that they are called "temp0" instead of just "0". - Changed handling of stray temp directories in the modules folder.

It will now do the temp0 check on every attempt to create a new module or open an existing one. - Added support in the Resource Selection dialog for "x#_" resref filters when the filter currently in use begins with "nw_" or "plc_". - Modifications to current area now prompted for save when exporting the current area via File|Export. It had already been doing this when exporting via the area treeview's Export context menu option. - Added Armor Class field to the Appearance tab for armor being edited in the Item properties dialog. This makes it easier to see the effect of armor appearance on AC. This is simply a duplicate of the one on the General page. - Added Armor Check Penalty, Arcane Failure Rate, and Max Dex Bonus fields to Item properties dialog. - Fixed bug in item dialog where Stack Size adjustments using the UpDown control would update the Total Cost field using the previous stack size value. - Fixed bug in Store Dialog where the Sell Mark Up would increment when attempting to increase the Buy Mark Down past its maximum. The Sell Mark Up now remains the same. - Inventory dialog for stores now consistent with game in terms of buy/sell values. Minimum buy/sell price is 1 gp at all times, except for plot items, which are always 0 gp buy/sell. - Static Placeable objects forced to default animation, because that's the only animation the game supports for them. - Fixed stack overflow bug when placeable object properties opens an object whose portrait ID has no value in portraits.2da. - Open Lock and Close Lock DC now disabled when 'Key Required to Lock or Unlock' is checked. - Fixed minor bug with Preview Window layout cutting off information for triggers. - Fixed Preview Window not showing all information for Trigger and Store instances. - Fixed problem where in non-English languages, the users would see English text in the custom palettes, even when the custom palette node's blueprint did have a StrRef for its name. Refreshing a palette will now use the StrRef for a blueprint IF the blueprint name has a StrRef, AND the blueprint name's locstring does not have any embedded text. - Fixed bug where, if a module could not be opened, the toolset would say that required hak paks are missing even if there are no missing hak paks. - Fixed inability to cut/copy/paste in the non-modal dialogs appearing over the main toolset window (eg., the Find Instances dialog). - Fixed garbled characters in Store Setup Dialog when warning that the selected creature is of a hostile faction. - Fixed creature and item colors not updating when choosing their colors in their property dialogs when environment mapping is turned off. - Fixed memory leak in hak pak attachment in the module properties dialog. - Fixed encounter spawn point orientations not saving correctly when they are facing between 0 and 180 degrees. - Fixed OK button appearing on the generic warning dialog when it should not. - Fixed bug where, when trying to remove all references to a script or conversation from the module, it would stop after the first such removal in each area in the module, leaving the other object instances untouched. - Fixed bug where certain item types were being rotated about an incorrect axis when rotating them in the area viewer. - Fixed access violations and allocated memory overwrite errors when doing the following exact set of steps: Ctrl-C an instance, Ctrl-V, then select a different palette or blueprint, then select another instance and Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V. - Fixed bug where shrinking an area would not mark the area or module as modified.

Script Editor: - Script Editor no longer parses #include files inside /* */-style block comments when generating the list of functions and variables in the sidebar - In Script Editor, Ctrl+F now prompts to search again from the beginning if the string was not found, just like F3. - Script Editor dialog remembers window state (maximized/normal) - Fixes bug where Script Editor would fail to compile conditional scripts when doing a Save All with Autocompile-on-save turned on. - Fixed bug where exporting a conditional script would sometimes not compile the script.

It now displays the correct value absorbed for Barbarians/Monks. - Changed resolution of FirstName and LastName tokens in conversations so that if a first name is required but isn't populated, it will use the last name instead and vice-versa. Note that this means if both a FirstName and a LastName token are used and only one name is given for the character, the name will appear twice in a conversation. But, you should be using  in that case anyway. - If GameSpy is offline, Favorites, History, Buddy Lists, and Direct Connect will all be available from the Internet Multiplayer screen instead of denying access. - Fixed problem with inventory items locking up after moving them and then cancelling the action queue. - Fixed problem with inventory items locking up after trying to move, drop, or unequip them while stunned. - Fixed problem with unmemorizing spells on multi-class characters. - Fixed a problem with many items in the action queue and the queue misfiring. - Fix for in game guis not updating after a character loses a class during a level-down. - Fixed the the restoring of previous remaining skill points during a level-down.

This will not warn about existing problems with creatures, only warn for new equipping attempts. - The Toolset will no longer open a module if the module's Hak Pak does not exist. - The Conversation Editor saves newlines as just an LF character, instead of a CR+LF. Fixes appearance of "box" characters when showing the conversation in the game. (Note: any existing conversation nodes containing CR-LF newlines will have to be edited in order to be converted.) - Added 2D view to items in the preview window - Mouse rotation of objects will snap orientation to mulitples of the rotation increment. - Increased precision/decreased rotation speed on the object rotate buttons. - Fixed a bug where the Sound Source position would not be updated when the 3D graphical representation of a sound object was moved, causing the user to hear it from its orginal position instead of the correct new position. - Fixed an assertion error when redrawing a trigger/encounter polygon after viewing the properties of a creature blueprint. - After redrawing a trigger/encounter polygon, the selection bounding box correctly updates to the new shape instead of still appearing around the original polygon's vertices. - Fixed an access violation when painting an object from a palette when a different palette is active. - Changed the Script Wizard to use HasItem instead of CheckPartyHasItem since the wizard can only take items from the speaker, not from the party. - Fixed a divide by zero script error with AutoDC checks from the Script Wizard. - Recursive file includes in scripts no longer generates the same error message twice. - Fixed a bug where parsing a script file with a circular include would cause the script text to change to the error text.
