Description

There’s no doubt than I’m an odd person to be putting this together. And no doubt something like this is coming a little “late in the game,” so to speak. Yet, that is exactly why I compiled this information. I’m learning (finally) to script without the help of tools and finding concise and consolidated information was near impossible. It was scattered all over the bioboards and while that is a great resource in and of itself the information is scattered and can be a bit hard to pin down. What I’ve tried to do with this document is to collect all the important information a beginner or expert scripter may need. I’ve plundered tutorials and sticky posts for relevant information, inserted some standards into appearance, spell checks, and organized it. It is important to note that none of this work is mine. This is like the CEP of Scripting information, I just compiled it. Now, no doubt I missed important information. If so, point it out. Also, some of this information is old and not being proficient myself I have no way of knowing what may be out of date or trumped by later patches. If you find something like this, let me know and I’ll fix it. As for the late in the game… well, it’s never to late to learn. A great deal of the basics of NWScript will no doubt still be useful for NWN2 and I will attempt to keep this up to date when it comes out. 

 

I’d like to thank all the people who took the time to write out this information, the people who helped me go through this, and just the NWN Community and Bioware for the help and support over the years in all my various endeavors.
