Setting "Client CPU Affinity=-1" will turn off CPU affinity.
- Added a new setting to the nwnplayer.ini file under [Server Options] "Examine Effects On Creatures=1". If this option turned off then any magical effects on a creature will not appear in the creature description when you examine a creature in the game (Note: DMs will still see the effects on the creature).

DM Client:
=-=-=-=-=-

GetSkillRank(int nSkill, object oTarget=OBJECT_SELF, int nBaseSkillRank=FALSE)
SetTrapDetectedBy(object oTrap, object oDetector, int bDetected=TRUE)

GetName(object oObject, int bOriginalName=FALSE)
ActionRest(int bCreatureToEnemyLineOfSightCheck=FALSE)
RandomName(int nNameType=NAME_FIRST_GENERIC_MALE)
- Added a new OnClick event type for placeables. This event fires immediately when a PC left clicks on a placeable (regardless of how far away they are from the placeable, or whether or not they can reach the placeable for whatever reason).
To obtain the player that left clicked on the placeable object, call GetPlaceableLastClickedBy() in the placeable's OnClick script.
- Added 53 new VFX_DUR_AURA_* visual effects (VisualEffects.2da) for use with the scripting command EffectVisualEffect().
- Added 80 new visual effect constants (VisualEffects.2da) for use with the scripting command EffectVisualEffect(). These use the new constants VFX_DUR_AURA_*, VFX_EYES_* and VFX_DUR_BUBBLES.
- Added new FOOTSTEP_TYPE_* constants to nwscript.nss (FootstepSounds.2da)
- Added the ability to force a placeable to be non-static (grey out the static checkbox) for any placeable using skin mesh. This is toggleable in the placeables.2da in a "Static" column. Defaults to allow if column missing.
- Added Hook Hands and Peg Leg armor appearance variations to the toolset.
- Added new Trident weapon models to the toolset under Polearms (x2_inc_itemprop.nss, x0_i0_match.nss). There are no new Trident specific weapon feats associated with Tridents at this time (BaseItems.2da).
- Added a new Shipwreck group to the desert tileset.
- Added 4 new groups to the city exterior tileset (Merchant Ship and Weather Ship variations).
- Added option to skip multiple hak pak warning message to the nwtoolset.ini file "Display Hak Warning=1"

- Added option to skip multiple hak pak warning message to the nwtoolset.ini file, section [Start Up], "Display Hak Warning=1"
- Fixed crashes caused by passing in invalid area/module objects to the scripting commands SetListenPattern() and GetMatchedSubstring() (or running these from an area/module event).
- Fixed scripting command ItemPropertyImmunityToSpellLevel(), it was creating a spell immunity property that was one level lower than what it should have been creating.
- Fixed a typo in the constant name IP_CONST_FEAT_USE_POISON. If you recompile a script that uses the old name, you will need to update your script to use the new fixed name.
- Fixed a typo in the constant name FOOTSTEP_TYPE_SOFT. If you recompile a script that uses the old name, you will need to update your script to use the new fixed name.
- Fixed an issue with the incorrect door type showing up for the "Turfhouse Interior 2x2" in the Ruins tileset (tdr01.set).
- Fixed an issue with no door showing up for the "Cloak Tower 2x2" in the Rural Winter tileset (tts01.set).
- Fixed an issue with the door being rotated for the "Turf House 2" in the Rural Winter tileset (tts01.set).
- Fixed the Rural Tileset - Wall 2 Gate w/Road model for people that have HotU installed.
- Fixed a visual issue with the campfire placeable (plc_i06.mdl).
- Fixed the level up wizard duplicating Special Abilities from the Creature Properties window.
Scripting-specific:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
- Added new TileMagic functions in x2_inc_toollib.nss that make use of GetAreaSize:
void TLResetAreaGroundTilesEx(object oArea);
void TLChangeAreaGroundTilesEx(object oArea, int nGroundTileConst, float fZOffset = -0.4f );
- Added a new Creature name randomization feature to the default OnSpawn script ("nw_c2_default9.nss")
By setting a new variable int X2_NAME_RANDOM to 1 on a creature template in the toolset, the module creature
can now tell creatures to randomize their name on Spawn. By default this will cause the creature to change it's name to
a name generated by the RandomName command.
For module builders not satisfied with the name selection provided by the RandomName command, the ability
to override this behavior with a random name generation script of their choice has been included:
If a script called "x3_name_gen.nss" exists in a module, it will be executed on spawn of any creature template that has
random name generation activated. The builder can then specify a return value for that custom name generation script by
setting a string variable named "X3_S_RANDOM_NAME" on OBJECT_SELF (the creature spawning), which will then be used
instead of RandomName().
- Made Web Bolt attacks respect the Woodland stride feat (nw_s1_bltweb.nss).
- Fixed a typo in the impact script name for "Greater Fox's Cunning" in the spells.2da that was causing the spell to not work.
- Changed implosion so that it no longer affects the caster (nw_s0_implosion.nss).
- Changed the way the damage was being calculated for the shifter's various wyrmling and dragon breath attacks to make it more random (x2_s1_wyrmbreath.nss, x2_s2_edragbrth.nss).
- Fixed an issue with the way the reflex saving throw was being done in DoMissileStorm() (x0_i0_spells.nss).
- Fixed an issue with Cloud of Bewilderment not respecting poison immunity (x2_s0_cldbewlda.nss, x2_s0_cldbewldc.nss).
- Finger of Death now properly respects immunity to death magic on a failed save (NW_S0_FingDeath.NSS).
- Fixed a bug with MatchSingleHandedWeapon and MatchDoubleHandedWeapon returning the incorrect value for some weapon types (x0_i0_match.nss)
- Mass Blindness/Deafness now only affects enemies even on the harder difficulty settings (nw_s0_massbldf.nss).
Custom Content:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
- Change to allow plt texture support on custom created part based creature races. Part based creatures (past row 481 in the appearance.2da) will now use a plt texture name based on the "RACE" letter specified in the appearance.2da (rather than always using the pfh0_ prefix). If your custom part based creature is past row 481 in the appearance.2da and you haven't specified the race specific PLT texture the game will use the human PLT texture by default.
- Fixed an issue with how the caster level was being calculated for classes that used the ArcSpellLvlMod and DivSpellLvlMod values in the classes.2da (for values other than 2).
- Added custom grass texture support to the tileset set file. The new grass texture entry is "GrassTextureName". For example specifying the following in the set file:
[GRASS]
Grass=1
GrassTextureName=my_grass
Will cause "my_grass.tga" (maximum of 16 characters and do not include the .tga extension in the name) to be used as the grass texture for the tileset. The game will default to the usual "grass.tga" if "GrassTextureName" is not specified.
- Fixed an issue where new names added to the SavingThrowTable column in the classes.2da were causing the toolset to behave erratically.
- Added support for prestige class prerequisite type "SAVE" (used in the CLS_PRES_*.2da files).
ReqParam1 ReqParam2
1 = Fort Save Minimum Base Save Required
2 = Ref Save Minimum Base Save Required
3 = Will Save Minimum Base Save Required
- Note to custom tilelset makers: When creating custom tilsets, don't forget to create a corresponding entry for the new tileset in the areag.ini file. The "Interior" flag must match that from the .set file created.
- Updated the DefaultIcon column of the BaseItems.2da to have new entries. This fixes an issue with taking hak pak specific items into a non-hak pak module which in turn was causing your inventory to start behaving erratically.
- Changed the behavior of in game Robe inventory icons. The icon will now also display non-hidden body parts as specified in the parts_robe.2da (the icon will only display the robe, pelvis, belt, torso and shoulders).
- Added a new "DefaultPhenoType" column to the phenotype.2da. The number specified in this column will be the phenotype that will be used in the case where the model does not exist for the desired phenotype (e.g. when using the SetPhenoType() scripting command).
- Made Head models use the same "DefaultPhenoType" system as above (rather than your head just disappearing if the model didn't exist for the desired phenotype).
- Wings/Tails will now use PLT textures if they exist (defaulting to using the creature's skin color), if a PLT texture does not exist for the model then the texture will default to using the TGA instead.
