I have confirmed that we do not need the "unlock camera=1" command in the nwnplayer.ini file anymore.

You never needed the camera unlock caper. The cam was hacked at the start and I myself posted links to Brandons cam hak. Not really knocking the game here but it seems the developers are taking credit for stuff that was already in place the best part of a year ago, I've always been able to look up in the air in my game and originally had 1st person perspective. The cam arguments about clipping planes and this, that and the other jargon ran into reams on the official NWN boards as they defended their position on the original camera angle, they have eventually (possibly) got it right after the shoddy cam unlock affair which was used as a work around to avoid accrediting the guy who properly unlocked the camera. I haven't seen their version yet but I'll bet it's no better than this. This can be used by those without HoU, is compatible with the original NWN and SoU. http://nwvault.ign.com/Files/hakpack...60389795.shtml

As for crafting....again, developed by the players not the developers per se. The ATS (Ambrosia Tradeskill System) has been in use for eons, people were crafting armour, weapons, jewellery etc in game far before even SoU was heard of.
[/QUOTE]I agree wholeheartedly. Bioware steal alot of stuff from the community they really do. It's legal as you sign their license when you install the game, basically saying they can have anything the community create. IMHO

A smart person would stop releasing his stuff publicly and if asked why by someone, tell them that you don't like not being paid for good work. Really, most of the community are just making Biowares job very easy...look at the skies in HOTU and the robes too. Last we all heard they couldn't and wouldn't be done. Until someone else did them.
