New Tilesets for 1.69 (http://nwn.bioware.com/forums/viewpost.html?topic=575812&post=5167674&forum=42&highlight=)
Took me all of 5 hrs to put together a batch file that utilized rsync, erf.exe, wget and infozip to mimic a MMO style auto-updater for NWN.

Rsync will sync a folder to the latest (and most importantly, DELETE the unused files, something wget doesn't do). Then ERF will pack up the contents of the folder (and subdirs) into a hakpack and put it into your /nwn/hak/ folder, and launch the game. Also syncs portraits and the TLK folder.

wget and infozip would be used for the full downloads, and grab the ZIPs from an URL (ideally from NWVault or the server's website), and unpacks them into their relevant directories.

I've been thinking of setting up a server to host the 1.69 content and let people help bug test it some more before the official beta patch, that way we can see and make changes faster and instantly see it's effects.

Let people submit areas and creature blueprints via ERF to add to the mod, scripting stuff, etc. Heh, could use the erf tool to automatically merge them into the module, if one was feeling adventurous.
