    Here are today's 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. 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.

    European manuals: There seems to be a problem with some of the earlier european manuals- Atari seems to have shipped a not-so-up-to-date version of the manual to europe. The manual on the CD should be the same as the version that shipped with the US game however.

    Hak packs: At module startup, the hak pack directories get loaded and maintained as separate hash tables. Thus multiple hak packs require multiple searches in a hash table. Personally, I really wonder if the difference between one and two to five hak packs is large. Fifty hak packs might be a problem.

    Don Moar, Tools Programmer

    VSS: We actually used VSS internally for the binary versions of the .mod files. Yes, I know. :) It's not optimal and can lead to all kinds of problems if you're not careful. Creating a gff2xml utility (and xml2gff) would definitely be a step in the right direction for using any source control system. If you're feeling ambitious, you'd probably want to fully automate the process. This includes extracting the files from the .mod and running VSS from the command line. This could be done via a batch file or script. Of course, you'd also have to reverse whatever process you followed in the first place to be able to open the module in the toolset again.

    Deekin's Voice: Ummm... no. Locally means voice actors here in Edmonton. I preferred the original voice actor for Deekin myself, but I suspect it may be just because I heard the original first and that's the sound I identify with him. Had it been the other way around, I would no doubt prefer this one. The alternative to getting local talent to try to replicate the old voice would have been not to have old characters come back at all. And that would have been worse, in my mind.
