What makes this Deluxe? I've added a ton of new stuff!
~Placeables Index~
Now, all placeables are indexed. Organizing the Placeables was
difficult. You can't just put them index them like they are in the
toolset, or it wouldn't be much help at all. What I've done is
break the placeables up into categories that I personally find useful.
This makes it so there are some redundant listings, which is acutally
pretty useful. For instance, Sunken City Rubble appears in the Sunken
City section, but also the Rubble section.
Hopefully this works for you too. If you have suggestions for new
categories that would be useful to you, let me know, and I'll add them
in future updates.
~Load Screens~
All of the game's default Load Screens are now indexed. They are sorted
by their "NX" tag, as those tags are unique. You should select load
screens by scrolling down to the NX section in the Load Screen pull down
menu.
This tool documents all of the assets in the Neverwinter Nights 2
Toolset as of NWN2 Patch 1.12. This can be useful for finding a
particular asset or appearance for any custom content you are
creating.
==HOW TO USE==
To startup the index, just extract the RAR or ZIP file somewhere to
a folder and double click on "index.html" to open up the root page.
From within the index, you can always navigate to the root by
clicking on the Visual Index masthead at the top of every page.
==DETAILS==
I put this together after being pretty thoroughly frustrated by the
preview function in the toolkit. Wouldn't it be easier if you could
just look at all the options and start from there with your model?
You can go in and look at all the variants for a particular armor,
weapon, or race before you input it into the Toolkit, making it a
lot easier to at get a good starting point without having to go
through every single option in the Toolset.
Generally, when I'm using this, I have the Visual Index open in one
monitor and toolset open in the other. This works really well for
speeding up creating NPCs, Creatures, and Custom Items.
A placeables update will be forthcoming.
As always, please let me know if you find any mistakes or bugs, and I'll
correct them in future versions of the index.
New Index will be updated in a few weeks after I've had a chance to mess with Zehir for a bit. _________________________ Smorpheus' Toolset Visual Index Link

At the moment, I'm taking of a tiny sliver of perfection because its not yet a full index including the expansions. As soon as this document has those and is proofed it will get a perfect ten with untold gratitude. It has allways pissed me off that Bioware and Obsideion do not include a basic manual for thier toolsets, and that they refuse to print a proper software manual for us to purchase (even if its some kind of by direct order only deal). I hate having to rifle through tons of scattered tutorials trying to learn the stuff I am not familar with and trying to reference things with tons of online documents that would cost a small fortune to print. Thank you so much for this reference and I hope very much to see a final reference of everything released in one package in the future! _________________________ LeClaire Teaching kobolds to moonwalk since 1983

Solid and something that adds alo of value to a builder. Jst being able to scan the objects, has allowed me to tweak areas, rapidly. Sporaxis - sporaxis.blogspot.com _________________________ Sporaxis "Smashing other peoples bits together to make a better world" blog: Link

Awesome tool! I wish that I had known about it sooner. This is an essential tool with how awkward the preview is in the toolset. _________________________ NW2 Module Fallen House Celofraie
