Fixes new to this patch:

* We have removed SecureROM disk checking.
* Optimized some multiplayer code for modem/high-ping users.
* Added new Toolset Wizards. See below for details.
* Improved overall game stability.
* Added the option "Supress Base Servervault" to prevent listing characters in the root of a Server Vault:

nwplayer.ini
[Server Options]
Suppress Base Servervault=0

Set this to 1 if you don't want your clients seeing character files from the root of the Server Vault.

* Fixed creature bumping through walls/doors.
* Fixed a problem where DMs couldn't GoTo a new area if a large part of the center of the new area was elevated, or didn't have a walkmesh by increasing the search radius.
* Fixed a bug causing new characters to enter the game with an empty quickbar rather than a default set.
* Cleaned up and fixed several quick bar issues, including text overlapping and replacing problems.
* Fixed a bug with Armor Class specific bonuses versus alignment not always working.
* Added an /ignore command to the multiplayer chat area:

/ignore
/unignore

Since chat names can change at each session, the ignore list is not saved.

*Fixed the adjust alignment feedback messages for the neutral range.
*Fixed a bug with weapon damage display on the character sheet with variable bonuses and power attack.
* Added scripting access functions for stealth/detect mode.

// Returns the stealth mode of the specified creature.
// - oCreature
// * Returns a constant STEALTH_MODE_*
int GetStealthMode(object oCreature);

// Returns the detection mode of the specified creature.
// - oCreature
// * Returns a constant DETECT_MODE_*
int GetDetectMode(object oCreature);

* Fixed server crash when trying to possess a creature that is transitioning into Limbo.
* Added module/game version checking for future game content patches.
* Neverwinter Nights Aurora Toolset

* Added a Popup Text "wizard" dialog, accessible from the right-click menu for Placeable Objects.
* Added a Store Setup Wizard, accessible from the right-click menu for Creatures, Doors, and Placeable Objects.
* When loading Creature appearances, the Toolset now uses the Label column in appearances.2da if there is no StrRef.

* Added Shift-Del keyboard shortcut for cutting text to the clipboard in the Toolset script editor.
* Fixed a bug where references to deleted scripts were not being removed from placeable objects and doors under certain circumstances.
* Added module/game version checking for future game content patches.

hostile henchman bug is conspicuously absent .... wonder if it's been fixed or not?

R.I.P. SecureRom

I can hardly believe it! I will be able to run the game without first running the toolset and then ejecting the disk and then loading the game only to have it crash 1/2 the time. Good Riddance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just have to add that this is hands down the most worthwhile patch to any game I have ever owned! What could be better? The game loaded up just perfect 10 times in row (a record since 1.21 screwed it all up) and soooooooo quick. I could cry! [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img]

I haven't had that SecuROM problem (I use my original discs) but I have noticed that it loads more quickly now - it only takes 2 seconds when it took 5 seconds before. :D

I'm particularly pleased with the added functionality they put into the Toolset, that's good stuff. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

me backs up saved games and reaches for the update button [img]smile.gif[/img]

And we never heard from Hesp again. :D

..chuckle..chuckle [img]smile.gif[/img] all is well ..so far

Thank you Larry_OHF. It's a nice thing to know.
