Having uploaded the ancient Bioware modules it occurred to me that I had some other Bioware (non module) files. In addition to the modules that I've uploaded, Bioware also created a number of tutorials. Ten of these were released as both read in your browser and in downloadable pdf format. Some of these came with accompanying files. The most well known of these being the toolset tutorial. While this is already here on the vault, the only version I could find by using the search facility on this site doesn't include the accompanying module. Apart from the toolset tutorial none of these showed up using this sites search facility. The 10 pdf tutorials that I've got are -
In own folders
AuroraToolsetTutorial (Tutorial & module)
Creating a Hidden Trap Door (Tutorial & erf file)
Creating a Hidden Wall Door (Tutorial, erf file & hak file)
Creating and Importing Custom Portraits (Tutorial & 5 tga files)
Loose
#An Introduction to the Plot Wizard.pdf
#PlotWizardTutorial.pdf
Adding Custom Music.pdf
Adding Custom Sounds.pdf
Creating a Starting Movie for a Module.pdf
Neverwinter Nights Content Installer Creator.pdf
I have therefore decided to package these up and upload this collection of original Bioware tutorials here. Hope you find them of use.

A While ago I made a series of articles to accompany the building of a module using the "AuroraToolsetTutorial (Tutorial & module)" tutorial. You'll now find links (on the wiki) to all of these articles in the Related Projects section below.

Very Sweet to see this old stuf back it service. Many thanks tarot
Thanks for your help finding this again ...new to building and need all the help i can get.
Thanks for the comments and vote.
If you are new to building I suggest that you grab the following -
The Guide to Building Volume I – The Aurora Toolset Manual
The Guide To Building Volume II The Design Manual
LS-TK Script Generator (Lilac Soul's Script Generator, updated for NWN 1.69)
NwN Lexicon 1.69
As the bare minimum for making modules. You will also find as time goes on that having a modern plain text editor to be useful which is why I recommend notepad++. Finally you might like to try Scriptease created by staff at the University of Alberta (Canada) as a more complex alternative to the built-in Plot Wizard.
Lastly never hesitate to ask for help (but I personnally do appreciate it when people have tried to find out for themselves first).

Now these are at our fingertips once again. TYVM for digging them up, Tarot!
Thank you for the kind words and vote.

Fantastic stuff that is really useful to those of us who somehow decided it would be a great idea to make a NWN module while the extent of our experience in digital creation is clicking "create new file" in windows.
There is an unaccountably large number of us, actually.
Thank you for the kind words and vote.

Thanks! These are so helpful. I've been building a module on and off for years and still forget how to do the simplest of things.
All essential if you want to save time and build better.
The first few paving stones of what's turned out to be a long and continuing road!
Thanks guys.
