This is a compilation of the old system into a single score. There were 1 that made this score of 10 then rounded to 10.

Greetings,

It appears that some people are a little confused as to why these programs are commandline. Let me elaborate:

1.) The programs were written so that can be called from a make file. I used these programs for maintaining the CEPTS system.

2.) Related to #1, the programs target the builder that needs batch processing capabilities. GUI programs, while visually pleasing and user friendly, are clusmy and time consuming for batch tasks.

3.) I hardly ever use the toolset for script editing, script compiling, or script exporting. I personally find it much easier to execute one batch file that compiles my scripts and packages them into a non version-specific erf file.

I realize that these tools are not for the casual user. At the time, I needed simple tools without a GUI and all the frills to make my life, as a scriptor, easier.... so I wrote my own.

For those interested, the OpenKnights project also has some real nice commandline tools in the libnw package... it's always nice to have options.

Despite what the unappreciative jerk below says, Thank you for your work. I like to analyze scripts at work, where I don't have nwn loaded. These tools are nice.

Thanks!

Did you know, whistler, that .mod .sav .erf .hak files are all pretty much the same kinda package file?

Ok, I'm going to sound like a complete +blocked+ for saying this.... but

If you look in your NWN/UTILS directory there is a utility called nwhak.exe that ships with the game that lets you add/remove files from hak paks with a GUI.

It works for ERFs as well. ERF and HAK are pretty much the exact same file format.
