Current Version: 1.00
The NWN2 Tome of Building (ToB) is an on-line help compilation of existing NWN2 documentation. It contains the Obsidian documentation for the Pre-Release Toolset as well as tutorials and tips developed by the Community. I converted their documents into on-line help. Please read the 'Welcome' topic in the Tome for information about how the documents in the Tome differ from the originals. I did not write any of the toolset-related content and I provided full credit to the original authors. Where possible, I also included links to the original document files so you can easily vote for them and leave comments for the authors.
While the Tome of Building is an on-line help file, I did not have time to add hyperlinks to every cross referenece. This first edition of the ToB does contain some hyperlinks within the text, but mostly it is a convenient compilation of existing documentation. It is also easily navigable, thanks to the hyperlinked table of contents and powerful search feature.
The Tome is divided into two main sections, Obsidian Documentation and Community Documentation. There is also a Welcome section that introduces you to the Tome and explains how the Tome differs from the individual documents and how to navigate through the help file.
Recently, several new tutorials have appeared on the Vault. I decided to release this version of the Tome so people would have what it contains now, if they wanted it, and I will update the Tome with the new tutorials for the "Second Edition".
There are two versions of the Tome and are provided in separate downloads:
* Microsoft HTML Help file
------------------------
This is a single help file, similar to what you would find with a
typical Windows application. It is in the current standard format for
Windows help files, which is compiled HTML. To view this file, you
must have Windows, or at least Internet Explorer.
* WebHelp
-------
This is platform-independent, uncompiled HTML help. Essentially, it
is a website and you view it in your browser. You should be able to
view WebHelp in any browser. For best results, use a browser that
supports JavaScript. For WebHelp to work, you must keep the directory
structure of the files when you extract them from the archive (zip or
rar) file. See Section II of this readme file, "Installing the Tome of
Building," below.
Please see the ReadMe file for more information. I have included the ReadMe as a separate file as well as bundled it with the ToB.
I hope you find the Tome useful.
