    Here are today's Neverwinter Nights 2 forum highlights, collected by NWVault from Obsidian Forums. Please take into account that these are only single parts of various threads and should not be taken out of context. Bear in mind also that the posts presented here are copied as-is, and that any bad spelling and grammar does not get corrected on our end.

    Override and tlk
    1) Override is sticking around.
    2) Talk files will still be there, but we're probably going to be changing them slightly.

    Text does not appear when...
    Just to put this all to rest, there is a NOT flag that can be toggled in the conversation node (so you don't need to change your scripts at all). :cool:

    Screen Capture - TGA or JPG?
    We can do .png or .jpeg without much trouble at all. I'll look into it and see what we're "allowed" to do...and whichever it seems like people want the most is what we can try and do.

    Art/Graphics: What we know so far...
    Am I correct in assuming that shadermodel 3.0 is a required for this game?
    No, you're not. 2.0 is required, but if 3.0 is detected it will use 3.0 instead.

    Possible ways for Tileset Conversion from NWN to NWN2
    The new toolset which will ship with the game, is being used to create the world and tiles/terrain and place placeables etc.

    system requirements?
    DirectX 9.0c uses shadermodel 3.0 only Nvidia 6 series cards support this, No ATI cards at present (Including the X800, X700, etc.) support shadermodel 3.0.
    That is incorrect. With DX9.0c you can use any shader model you want...from like 1.4 up to and including 3.0.So, before this goes any further. The game "requires" 2.0. Therefore, your card must support at least 2.0 to run the game.

    In game ability to retitle containers
    This is something I think we can comment on in more detail once more of the customizable GUI has been nailed down.I will just say that I like this idea.edit: btw, I am referring to the OP

    Tony Evans, Designer

    Integrated Cutscene Creator/Editor
    Suggestions like this should go in the NWN2 Toolset forum. The people at Obsidian responsible for creating the tools don't check the General forum as often as they do the Toolset forum.

    ORIENTAL STUFF!
    Jade Empire should satisfy your craving for samurai and ninjas.As its name implies, the setting for Neverwinter Nights 2 will be primarily in and around Neverwinter.However, when NWN2 comes out, fans are more than welcome to use the toolset to create their own Oriental adventures (ie. Kara-Tur Nights).
