This plugin adds the functionalities that I made for Grinning Fool's Usability Tools (previously Airbrush Plugin) long ago and that he's still supposed to integrate to his plugin. :oP
Two things in here :
1\ Mouse mouvements combinations for changing the terrain brushe's size in a very effective way: Choose a hotkey then press it and move your mouse to the right to increase the brush size or to the left to reduce it. There is also a hotkey to switch the brush type (from Rise to Lower, or from Paint Grass to Erase, etc.) and a hotkey to access the Smooth brush anytime.
2\ A complete set of icons to replace the buttons text on the base toolbars. Grinning Fool's plugin already does this but only for one toolbar and with only a few part of the icons I made.
This is enabled by default and you can't disable it. This plugin was made for my own use and I provide it as is.
.: Installation :
Unzip the DLL file to your Nwn2 installation folder\Toolset\Plugins folder.
Go to the Options window and navigate to the Airbrush Plugin's options. Set your own shortcuts.
If you already have the Usability Tools plugin, you have to change two options. Browse to the Usability Tools options in the plugin's section of the options window. Turn UseSmallIconsInMainToolbar and UseMousewheelControls to False. (Then restart the Toolset.)
Thank you to Grinning Fool for most of the initial ideas that made me end up doing this and for letting me use his code as a base.
.: Running old plugins on any toolset version :
It's feasible since january 2008, it's simple, and it works. See here.
I'll try here to give you better instructions than the ones given by PeeDee :
1/ Download the config file and put it directly into your Nwn2 folder.
2/ Open the file with a text editor. To do so, right-click on it, choose Open with and pick notepad in the list, or if it's not here, click on Choose program... and pick notepad there..
3/ What you get is the code for a tiny XML configuration file. Find in this gibberish the three occurencies of newVersion=.
The first one is the version of the file OEIShared.dll, the second one is for SandBar.dll and the last is for NWN2Toolset.dll. All three files are in your Nwn2 folder too.
4/ Get the versions of these three DLL files. To do so, right-click on them > Choose Properties > Version tab. Copy the number you see (example : 1.0.1588.0).
5/ Replace the version numbers in the NWN2ToolsetLauncher.exe.config file with the ones you just found.
6/ Save. Done !
Important Note : Be aware that using not updated plugins might cause important bugs in the Toolset, as the Toolset is often modified with patches. So :
- If you encounter some bugs in the Toolset, get the updated versions of all your plugins and remove the ones that are not recompiled for the last patch before reporting the issues.
- When you patch the game, if you read in the patch notes that the Toolset has been modified, update your plugins.
