    Here are today's official Neverwinter Nights forum highlights. Please take into account that these are only single parts of various threads and should not be taken out of context.

    David Gaider, Designer

    Weapon Limit:

    Quote: Hey David, do you happen to have the contact information for the programmers so you can find out 1) why YOU didn't know about this, and 2) why it seems to be multiplied by 10?

    There's no reason I should know about it, personally. I'm just a designer, not a programmer. I can talk to some of the programmers about the x10 thing... but there's no guarantee that even the person who worked on that specific piece remembers why he did it that way. There may have been a good reason at the time, but keep in mind NWN was a massive undertaking for the programmers over 5 years. He may not be willing to go digging through all his notes for it. Naturally, I could be wrong and the programmers might know all about this fix.

    2DA Documentation:

    Quote: yeah.. I'd kick my own grandmother in the butt for documentation like that for the 2da files

    As I understand it, the tileset documentation is nearly complete. We do *have* our original .2da documentation... but that's so out of date it makes me giggle.

    More:

    Quote: David, even releasing the horrifically out of date documentation for the .2das to us MIGHT give us a roadmap to follow to figure stuff out...

    No, it wouldn't. Trust me on that. The people who were responsible for the various .2da's would have to go back and update their sections, else it would (without a doubt) only cause more confusion than it cleared.

    Al Schilling, Product Manager (MacSoft)

    Mac News: Of course, we realize that the lack of the toolset is disappointing to Mac users. We are considering ways in which we can make this up to you. We've had no shortage of suggestions. They include offering the PC toolset with the Mac version, offering a CD full of mods, etc. Of course, much of what we can/can't do is controlled by varying licensing interests. But keep the suggestions coming. All will be considered.
