Text colour:

Quote: Well, primarily I'd like to have my party's chat in one window and module related conversation (i.e. talking to people) in another.

If you right click on the bar at the top of the text window, there are options for filtering/displaying different types of text. If you open your nwnplayer.ini file (located in your NWN directory). Then look for the following section. You can change the numbers to change the in game chat colors:

[Chat Colors]
TalkColor=240,240,240
ShoutColor=255,239,80
WhisperColor=128,128,128
TellColor=32,255,32
ServerColor=176,176,176
PartyColor=255,102,1
DMColor=16,223,255

The numbers represent a RGB color scheme. First number represents the amount of Red in the text, the second number represents the amount of Green in the text, and the third number represents the amount of Blue in the text.
Thus
TalkColor=255,1,1
Will make the text red. The values can vary between 1 (none of that color) to 255 (the most of that color)

Georg Zoeller, Designer

Devastating Critical: Hail of Arrows will not include any other special effect in NWN, and that IS intended. The arrows shot by this feat are not targeted precise to carry out any kind of sneak or critical attack. Sorry, no mass instant death for Arcane Archers.

Hacked characters:

Not entirely sure what this topic is about, so I randomly throw in this:

Craig has been very busy on patch 1.63 and there are going to be a lot of improvements to security.(Any invalid sign in your characters name will now render the character illegal - no more bad strref properties either). Otherwise I suggest playing on server vault servers, local vault was created for the occasional D&D session with friends you know, not for "fair" online gaming - for those there is server vault.

Future:

We have no plans for another Expansion Pack.
We do have plans to support NWN well into the future.
