The client extension is an add-on to the standard NWN2 game client that fixes various crash bugs, restores the Internet Server Browser for multiplayer server listings, and adds new multiplayer functionality to the game (for example, a better reply function, command history, and a host of other improvements).
Direct download link for latest version: Link (version 1.0.0.24)
There are also significant improvements to the capabilities of the DM client included (compatible with DMFI, although not dependent on DMFI). For example, you can teleport objects to specific points in other areas without jumping to the area first, and (with some server script support) you can view creatures on the map in a different area than you're currently in.
A brand new, "headless" standalone DM client for NWN2 is also included that allows PW admins to log on to their server without launching the full game DM client.
You can now create a shortcut to directly connect to a PW from the desktop with the +connect argument supported by the included NWLauncher.exe (see the included readme file for details).
CE release 1.0.0.23 is now available. This release includes the following features: - Added a +connect [server-address] (and optional +password [server-pw]) argument to NWLauncher.exe. These allow you to create a shortcut to directly connect to a PW from the desktop. You can connect as a DM, too, by using the -dmc argument as well. For example: NWLauncher.exe +connect pw.example.org NWLauncher.exe +connect private-pw.example.org +password playerpw NWLauncher.exe +connect pw.example.org +password dmpw -dmc - Fixed an issue where NWLauncher.exe was not fully applying the CE patches on some systems (but right-click Apply was still working).

A Saint! You are an effing SAINT! I cannot express how... relieved, thankful, overjoyed... blown away I am that this works. If I could I'd give you money as thanks for what you've done.

This is a fantastic thing you're doing for the NWN community, Skywing, and your client extension is a great tool on its own.

Release 1.0.0.22 is now available (includes restored Internet Server Browser support for multiplayer). This release includes the following features: - Internet Server Browser functionality restored using a new master server list hosted by Skywing. Servers can participate by installing the xp_bugfix 1.0.20 or later plugin from the NWNX4.org forums (see the NWNX4 Development forum, xp_bugfix thread). Clients running the Client Extension will automatically nominate servers unknown to the Internet Server Browser on connection for broadest community coverage. Web-based versions of the Internet Server Browser are also available; for example, visit Link . See the readme file included in the .zip for more details. - Self-update functionality included in the Client Extension. The Client Extension will present a message box at the main menu when a new Client Extension update is available; the user can choose to install the update directly from the game (or continue on to play without installing the update if desired). - Included a fix from FoamBats4All for a DM client crash that can occur when opening the right-click context menu on a creature. This crash will not occur when running the Client Extension with the DM client (NWLauncher.exe -dmc). - Fixed a problem where the game would infrequently not be started by NWLauncher.exe properly.

Receiving an error apparently from NWLauncher (Win7-64, standard user account with Admin escalation, Steam NWN2:PE), after NWN2 starts, popup box titled 'Failed to load client extension' with main text 'Couldn't open real process'. Have tried with versions 1.0.0.19 through 1.0.0.21, no change. Have not tried the manual loading method (as I'd REALLY rather not add another context menu option to my shell, if it can be avoided).

Outstanding. Thanks for truly remarkable contribution. Two minor issues (Windows XP, using NWLauncher.exe): Crash on closing NWN2 (with send error report message box). Strange character movement when running extension within PW Realms of Trinity. The only time I see this odd jerky character movement.

Client Extension 1.0.0.21. release. I've posted an updated version, 1.0.0.21. Changes in this release include: - Master server timeout at connection time reduced to one second (down from 30 seconds). This prevents the client from getting stuck for 30 seconds while waiting to communicate with the now-down master server. - Creatures that are marked as dead should now stop pathing immediately on the DM's view of the Area Map window. Previously, they were displayed as continuing to complete their old pathing orders. - New GUI functionality for scripts: Open chat input pane with prepended text. This is an asynchronous request to change the GUI state on the client. To use this functionality, use the following script snippet: SendMessageToPC(PCObject, "SCliExt15" + TextStringToPrepend); This will open the chat input pane (if it was not already open), and replace its contents with TextStringToPrepend, positioning the input caret after the prepended string. - New GUI functionality for scripts: Set targetted object. This is an asynchronous request to change the client's target pane target. To use this functionality, use the following script snippet: SendMessageToPC(PCObject, "SCliExt14" + ObjectToString(ObjectToTarget)); This will cause the client to act as though the player had selected ObjectToTarget. Once the client processes the request, ObjectToTarget will show as the targetted object on the server, as well.
