You can change it IG, too, after you are windowed. Video Options > Set Resolution

A similar question: When I try to enter windowed mode, it minimizes it to the tool bar instead of shrinking to a window. Does anybody know why that might happen?

Edit your nwn.ini and set the following under [Display Options]
FullScreen=0
AllowWindowedMode=1

That's what mine are set to and I always run in windowed mode. I think you can skip 'FullScreen=0' if you want to just toggle windowed on/off via Alt+Tab.

Doesn't work

It only bumps the game back to full-screen mode.

How does the nwn.ini way work then?

Ah, must only work if you have the nwn.ini option set then. I put what you need in the nwn.ini in the rest of that post ;p

Also, you people are silly because Google is your friend! http://nwn.wikia.com/wiki/Window_mode

I overlooked this, I am silly indeed.

Using the trap tool to retrieve traps / set options gives the option to "Upgrade Traps" in your vicinity.

What's that?

That's for if you have one of the trap upgrade thingies that a Master Scout crafts, I believe. To juice up your trap and make it more damagey.

The NPC that gave Monk Kits was removed a while back, and we were told that someone was working on new ones, and it would be back soon. Has this been done? Is it being worked on at the moment?

Can heads be applied to different models? Eg, Male Halfling heads to female bodies, or different races. Eg, Half-Orc female, to female Halfling.

Nope. Tied to the respective model, I'm afraid.

Yeah they have specific names that tie them to a gender/race. You'd have to make the head for that race in order for it to be available as well.

Hi there. I have a question about scrolls ans great sanctuary. Is that possible to use any sort of scrolls while in GS? If the answer is maybe, then only the defensive spells line healing are allowed to be casted while in GS? Thank you.

You can't, it fails.

Alright, thanks. But another question. Can you scribe scroll Haven spell ? Thank you.

Are there newer/updated head models laying around? Or is it just what is in the headpack overrride?

Are dwarven paladins common, or if not common are they around? My Google-fu is not very effective right now in trying some info on this.

A deeply LG society whose creator is a god of war? Damn right they've got paladins.

They should be just absolutely silly with paladins, as much as Kohlingen.

A paladin is more than just the LG alignment and a desire to smite evil. I think dwarves are not as much into knightly orders and their oaths as humans are, and the order and the oaths are a big deal about being a paladin. Dwarves might be more into swearing the protect their family, clan and home instead of leaving to join a posh club where you are only served water and speeches about chivalry.

Threre probably are these paladins nevertheless, but I can't think of any knightly orders dedicated to say Moradin off the top of my head.

Then you should do some reading!

Faiths & Pantheons explicitly lists the Hammers of Moradin and Berronar's Valkyries as being orders composed at least partly of paladins. Demihuman Deities is a 2nd Ed source, so it was operating under the assumption that paladinhood was only possible for humans, but it's the most detailed source anywhere on the Morndinsamman, and extrapolating it to a 3rd Edition mindset, there are literally at least a dozen orders dedicated to Moradin, Berronar Truesilver, Clangeddin Silverbeard, Gorm Gulthyn, and Marthammor Duin that are described as "knightly" or "crusaders" or such paladin-ish buzzwords. It's reasonable to assume that there's at least a few paladins in them.

Are there still any players who still do custom portrait edits?

Just picture edits, I was thinking about doing so. I'm not a pro or anything, but I do like tinkering about with Photoshop.

What Casvenx goes for me. I can do some editing, depends on what it is. I also don't like doing it all the time, so if anyone reads this and asks I might say no >_>
But I would probably at least take a look and see if I can do it, heh. I can't do big changes, pretty much just color and such alterations.

Screenshot trouble: They save as TGA files but I can't open these in Paint. Any suggestions?

http://www.gimp.org/

Can this be done without downloading a thing? /How trustworthy is this thing?

Gimp and http://www.irfanview.com/ are both trustworthy things.

I use Irfanview. It's 100% legit.

Or paste into paint each time you hit screenshot straight away, yourself. It will save the TGA files regardless though

Ok, thanks for the feedback.

Rigela-Yes, that is the old way I used to do screenshots (when I had it working properly) but since I started playing on a laptop instead of a tower, the screenshot thing has never really worked for me:(
I am trying to fix that now.

I went with Gimp because it has a friendly icon of a dog.

It also is the same word used to describe someone immobilized in latex bondage.

Whereas, Infrared has a suspicious splotch of blood with a bandit mask on.

Ok, a question regarding this then. I used to do exactly that when I teach SD classes, but since switching over to windows 7, whenever I paste to paint, I get a solid black pic. But when I use the .tga viewer, and ctrl-A/ctrl-V to paint, it works fine. I hate having to go the long way via opening my screenshots folder, searching through the default file names to find what i want, then cut/paste into paint. I'd like to go prntscrn/paste to paint.

Ideas?

Use windowed mode to take screenshots and then just paste into Paint and resizee to fit the NwN window. It's tedious, but hey, it works!

Sort the screenshots in your screenshots folder by Date, rather than by name.

Then the ones you took last will always be on the top (or bottom, if you order them the wrong way).

Does the NWN system penalize lower level character's dice rolls on attacks or do I have the worst luck ever? My entire 3rd level my character only rolled a double digit number on his attack roll 7% of the time. This was prior to adding in my modifier, just the straight D20 roll which statistically should be close to 50%. Of that 7% a whopping 48% of those single digit numbers were 1. Is this common or is this character doomed by the dice gods?

I could have sworn you could buy a "Furniture" item to use to place a "Carpet" (the round, blue one). Or am I misremembering this? I've looked around the merchants and can't find it, if it ever existed.

Trust me, it's indiscriminate. For the last two days the only thing I've managed to roll is 10 or less on my lore checks <.<

Haha, NWN's RNG is very streaky and not very random-seeming most of the time. (He muttered, annoyed at people frequently cleaning out his dicing mat.)

That's actually an interesting thing, does anyone managed to break/peek how NWN randomiser works?
Or is the code too scrambled?
I suppose if it's quite weak and chaos pool is not too vast, then we can actually have streaks of bad/good luck occuring.

Selmak and Terra did.

Ugh, no wonder how many wins I require to get a grand prize winner, the dice mat doesn't give a damn and gives my prizes away.

Maybe it's time for a raffle instead.

Sorry mate

Heheheh, I don't mind losing them at all. They wouldn't be there if I did. I just don't want to lose them faster than I *can get them.*

That said, no one knows of any placeable blue rug Furniture items? Hrm... Coulda sworn they existed.

I believe there is a blue circle rug that kinda looks like tile, or maybe geometric patterns. I've seen people use it in the Cordor market hall before, but I have no idea where they got it.

It probably smells strongly of fish.

These may be silly questions, but do all custom Feats have to be scripted? And if I wanted to request a feat that gave say +2 Saves would that fall into the category of an Action feat or an Instant feat when leveling up and taking the placeholder feat?

You can't have literally passive custom feats, so it'd have to be a self-activation one with a permanent duration. And yeah, all of them needs to be scripted and tied to your PC key.

Does anyone know of any useful orc language resources which agree with the Amian setting? I wanted to throw a few orc words into my roleplay and haven't been able to find any overarching Forgotten Realms orc language materials. Even on the WotC website there were links being thrown around to other games with flesh-out greenskin languages. Just thought I'd ask before I used some of them.

Surely ye could just LETO em instead and then make em take the custom feat to represent work done?

DMs can't and/or won't LETO characters like that, as far as I'm aware.

Bottled companion can be made to speak via shout command right?
