		This is a toolset manual for the HoTU exp pack, but much of the content will be helpful with the previous NWN versions, as well.
		The purpose of this FAQ is to explain what property does what when you're making items through the Aurora Toolset, because the manual is rather sketchy on the details of various enchantments.

		Don't get us wrong, the game itself is going to be great, but after playing around with the toolset we can only imagine the cool dungeons, maps, and modules that people are going to be making.
		But what's so damn cool about the toolset is that it can make anyone (yes, even you) look like a brilliant level designer/programmer.
		Granted, we already knew the gameplay and visuals were going to be unbelievable, but after checking out the other key features of the game like the DM client and the amazing toolset, we were simply speechless.

	Neverwinter Nights Modules -- If you need to contact anyone from NWN Modules, E-Mail us at NWNModules@hotmail.co.uk
		According to NWN Mods developer Tom Prosser, similar errors with the toolset occured during the develpment of Lords Of Chaos, and whether or not it is the toolset or the Module properties that are causing these errors is not yet known.
		Whether this means that the new Aurora Toolset will be backwards compatible for certain, even if it's in only some aspects, we cannot say.
		Due to the new version of the Aurora Toolset being released with Neverwinter Nights 2 not being backwards compatible, several Modules have been delayed but The Chaos Quadrilogy is one of the larger series' that we had hoped to play before 2006.

		The second is the Aurora toolset, a very powerful editing tool that allows players to construct their own adventures.
		The Aurora toolset is the part of the game that has probably received the most hype, and it's easy to see why.
		Combining the toolset's powers with the DM client is where players have the most power to customize the game's experience.

		The game doesn't ship with a complete set of documentation for the toolset, but because of the community appeal of Neverwinter Nights, the answers to any questions you might have about it are just waiting to be read on the game's official message boards.
		In addition to the campaign and the toolset, Neverwinter Nights includes a DM client, which lets you play the game using the godlike powers of a pen-and-paper D&D dungeon master, able to manipulate the proceedings of any module in real time and at your whim.
		Like the Aurora toolset, this isn't easy--especially because you're something of a performance artist in your role as DM, and your audience's enjoyment depends largely on your actions.

		The single player scenario is only the beginning of Neverwinter Nights, it also has a multi-player mode, a DM client and the Aurora toolset.
		The Aurora toolset allows you to do this and is amazingly flexible.
		I haven't had a chance to mess around with this extensively but in just a few minutes I was able to create an adventuring area, populate it with monsters, and add a few NPCs and story triggers.

	Obsidian Forum Community -> Request
		I have been thinking alot of NeverWinter Nights 2, and aspecially for the Aurora Toolset ofcourse because I have a huge respect for this game.
		What i'm planning to do actually, is to get the Aurora Toolset for NWN2 sooner then when the game comes into the stores, to make a module for the people that will be present after the time when the game lies in the stores.
		Cause that sort of defeats the purpose, I mean yeah we get to familiarize w/ the toolset prior to release but all that work shouldn't be wasted.

	Gamasutra - Features - "Postmortem: BioWare's Neverwinter Nights" printer friendly
		Although part of the increase was due to the fact that the Neverwinter Toolset was to be publicly released, we would have still invested fairly heavily into the tools even if they were only intended for internal use.
		The decision to go forward with a new tool, or a new feature for an existing tool, depends on whether the time required to make the tool will be made up in the time saved by using the tool.
		One of the ways we plan to do this is to reuse the BioWare Aurora Toolset as a rapid prototyping tool for story design, even for games with radically different interfaces and rules systems.

		The media demonstration was focused around the self-described "industrial strength" Aurora toolset which will grant nearly limitless creative freedom to all those who join the Neverwinter Nights community.
		Poppinfresh, "less effort is always a good thing." Secondly, Aurora should be powerful enough to allow the average gamer with no technical skills to create professional looking worlds in which to hold adventures.
		The focus of our time was centered around the creative aspects of NWN's toolset, but let me assure you that the graphical punch is as strong as ever, and will only improve as the game nears completion.

		Apparently the toolset will be very powerful for those who can figure out how to use it, so it would seem that if you are good at that kind of thing, you will be able to create your own persistent world, but there won't be any tools created to make it easier to do so.
		I wouldn't take experience with the aurora toolset as a guarantee you'll be able to work with the DA toolsot.
		Remember, too, that unlike NWN (and indeed NWN2) the main focus here is not the toolset and therefore we are not likely to go wildly out of our way to make bells and whistles for the toolset as it's not the point.

		According to the article, Bioware will be providing use of the Aurora toolset and there seems to be a movement to doing a console version as well.
		In fact, judging from www.nwvault.com alone, and the CEP release, the community is well capable of taking this game on its current legs, for several more years, with no real amount of complaint.
		The Aurora engine was already long enough in the tooth when NWN was first released, let alone in 2006.

		The Aurora toolset has had 10 people working on it for the last few years to make the system as robust as possible.
		Fundamentally the Aurora toolset works the same way, except that it goes several orders of magnitude deeper.

		The BETA version is an 'in development snapshot' of the toolset that we've chosen to release to the fans early.
		We will attempt to build a utility to convert modules made with the BETA toolset to be compatible with the final retail game, however we make no guarantee this will be possible.

	The Codex Forums :: View topic - NWN2 Ditches Aurora Engine Toolset
		It looks like Obsidian Entertainment finally realized what a horrible piece of crap the toolset in NWN (Aurora Engine Toolset) really was and decided to ditch it for something of their own design.
		While rewriting the graphics engine and toolset may not be taking the "easy" way out, I don't know that it's entirely the smartest thing to do.
		The whole "there is hope for Obisidan, they ditched Aurora" thing is an illusion - they chose to rewrite the toolset, likely because it was written in Borland C++ which makes porting things like the graphics engine a pain if you have people coding in Visual Studio.

		I opened the Aurora toolset in earnest and decided I was going to do what it took to make a module.
		The fact the toolset allows such a newbie as myself to make a module that doesn’t suck is astounding.
		Since the community is so supportive, and the toolset so useful, the fact you had to STEAL a module only proves what low life scums bag you are.

	Modeling a Simple Placeable (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The first thing we'll do in the toolset when we get into the toolset later is set up the placeable to have the name that we want.
		On top of that, if you want others to be able to easily add your placeable to the Custom palette in the toolset without having to worry about choosing the right appearance type, you're going to need to create an ERF file.
		When a Builder imports an ERF into the toolset, a new listing is created in Custom palette to enable the easy addition of that type of object to the module.

		The Aurora Toolset's level editor is based on pre-built 'tiles' that are used to design the layout of each area.
		However, since the Toolset is such an important part of the game, BioWare is speaking with MacPlay about the possibility of having a Mac development team port the editing tools to your favorite platform.

		ScriptEase is being developed by researchers from two research groups in the Department of Computing Science at the University of Alberta, the Games group and the Software Systems group.
