Well, there's a big difference of multiplayer being a <b>PART</b> of NWN's focus, much like single-player, the ability to modify and author your own adventure modules, as well as DM a game are a part of NWN.
And the suggestion/demand that PWs be the <b>SOLE FOCUS</b> of NWN, when it obviously is not.
That said, I think subjective VFXs can't be done with the way the engine runs. I remember this topic came up when Soopaman wanted them for the Spellman Project a couple years ago, for things like the Paladin's Detect Evil ability and such. Probably have to resort to feats and reporting the messages back via messages to the player. =(<br /><br /><b><a href="http://nwn.bioware.com/forums/viewpost.html?topic=607446&post=5572438&forum=42&highlight=" target="_blank" >1.69.8101 (Windows, Mac & Linux) Beta 2 Patches Now Available (Discuss).</a></b>

You can modify them in the .SET file, a tile will have a [TILE#DOOR#] entry after the tile entry and it will list the position and rotation of the door. All you'd have to do is rotate by 90 degrees.<br />

<hr />I have searched the forum and have not produced any results, so I'll ask the question. How do I use different tilesets in the same area? Say I want to build a castle exterior in a rural area...how do I do that? Basically I want to build a township on a hillside, and place the castle at the top of the hill without changing to a new area. I refuse to believe that there is no way to combine tilesets...for something that simple and useful, BioWare simply MUST have made a way.<hr />The upcoming 1.69 patch will include a new mind boggling huge exterior rural tileset that contains towns, castles, hills and sea cliffs all in the same tileset.
It will probably work for what you need.
