UPDATE: Nereng has updated his Ambient City after FireFairy kindly bug-tested it.
Baron of Gateford has kindly allowed us to include his excellent guide to NWN Waypoints. UPDATED WITH NEW VERSION OF GUIDE.
Tutorial document is now also found as pdf-file. I have included Nereng's new texts into the Tutorial for The X2 Ambient System. There are jobs to be had, 'Blacksmith, patron, waitress, stray dogs, hunter, prey, rats' etc. This is version 1.53. Nereng has created a demo module where he demonstrates some uses of the system. I myself have made a raw demo module. Documentation is a 75 page Word document (we have tried to explain almost everything and there is an index). It is meant for the beginner and unexperienced and the aim is to demonstrate the x2 ambient system as well as reverse engineering.
Seeing as how i've just started to take a serious intrest in building my own SP module and using the toolset this little item is in my opinion nothing short of a masterpiece. I have somewhat more of a clue as to what i'm doing with NPC's but thaks to you guys learning it is alot more simple and i can not implement things i dont even throughly understand yet. Thanks for this, you guys rock

This is an excellent piece of documentation for the community. We never ended up using the ambient system in HotU (which as created in a time when most of the action of the expansion took place in Waterdeep), but we left the code because we figured someone might find it useful. Thank you for creating this excellent piece of documentation for our community.

I suggest you try to incorporate a Swtch statement where you assign the template name to a variable. Something like int x = d(4) switch (x) { case 0: // statements ... // without a break testing would continue // in this example if we didn't use a break, the default // condition would also evaluate as true if x == 0 break; case 1: // statements ... break; case 2: // statements ... break; default: // statements ... break; }

Love it...its just awesome... Although, since my previous post didnt go through ill ask here. Anyone know how to get the create rats command to duplicate so that we could create more prey type creatures? Theres only so many places rats can be fun ;)

Gets a 10 for me, theres just no equivlent. Love the tutorial, a real help. Tell me, in the 'create rats' command, any experienced scripters know how I could duplicate and use this command to create things besides, oh i dunno, rats?
