NWN Scripting Tutorials/Tools?

[DarthSilius]

I've read through all the tutorials in the Scripting forum and I have looked at everything on http://www.starwarsknights.com/tools.php.

 

I've started sifting through the hordes of NWN Scripting documentation on the web.

 

There's some great stuff like

 

-complete lists of functions & constants with descriptions

 

-dozens of pages of tutorials

 

-references to cool tools just for scripting:

"First off, notice when you are editing a script, there is a long list of functions over on the right side. If you click on any one of those commands, you get a bit of information about that command down at the bottom of the screen."

(from http://www.planetneverwinter.com/nwntoolset/Scripts/Tutorial/lesson5.htm)

 

Is this documentation and any scripting tools for NWN applicable to KOTOR/TSL?

 

Or are there presumably more up to date KOTOR-specific versions of such resources?

 

Thanks!

Hello DarthSilius,

 

There is currently no tool like the NWN script editor that you are talking about. However, I am makeing one just like it that will have the list on the side to help you with constants/variables and to add a feature, even script templates, it is mainly to help the modder searche through the nwnscript.nss file, since i know that can be a real pain, this does most of that for you. Hope that helps!

If you have the Aurora Toolset from NWN you can use that for KotOR scripting too if you want. Just create a blank module and save the nwscript.nss file from KotOR in it, and the tool will use that file to populate the function list and show function descriptions.

 

I wouldn't recommend using it to compile the scripts though if you do use it. Just save them and then use nwnnsscomp.exe to compile the scripts. They are saved in the temp0 folder inside the modules folder.

Thanks!

I can sort through the NSS source code just fine, but this will save a lot of time.
