    I have got some spare time so I am taking my first real stab at creating a NWN module. I downloaded the basic tutorial and have got area creation and conversations mostly sussed but it dosent cover in depth or at all some issues i have found. If you could give me some tips or point me to some better tutorials that would be great.
    My main areas of "stumped" are; I wanted to create a recall portal to a character i set up for healing, i set the portal, turned it on, modified the stone of recall to an orb but it dosent work. Do i need to do something else? do i have to set it up like a door in some way, the tabs wernt ther like a door though.
    I am also not sure of "instances" and how to use them. and is there a way to make animals/npc's just "wander around" without using waypoints? I created some boars and they wander around without me doing anything, but deer dont and a raven just flapped away in one place without moving anywhere.
    Also is there a comprehensive list that better describes all the voices, making a character and then hunting through that list to find stuff that goes with the conversation is a mission!!! a case of try this and see what it sounds like and see if the voice fits the character.
    Any general tips on structure would be great as well, faction creation and plot development.
    I would try the bioware site but it seems slow as, maybe jade empire has something to do with it.
    And i dont know what the guilds are really about, builders guild etc
    But mostly i am impressed as hell with the work done on TOEE by the people on this site!! and i want to suck your brains!!!!

    You probably won't find too much NWN info here, elith. This site has a pretty narrow ToEE focus.
