This is a simple GUI tweak that completely removes the intrusive selection rings you get around your characters and targeted enemy. It also removes that brief spark you get when clicking the ground to move, which remains even when "Movement Target Marker" is disabled in the settings menu.
With it, you can even get a truly clean screen when you hide the GUI: great for better immersion while playing, for filming gameplay footage and for taking screenshots.
Take a look at the before and after shots to see what I mean.

INSTRUCTIONS
1- Installation is simple. Just extract the GPS No-Ring UI Mod folder to your My Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2/UI/Custom directory. Alternately, you can extract it to your My Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2/Override directory.
2- The GPS No-Ring UI Mod folder includes the following files. If you wish to recover some of the now invisible GUI elements, just delete the corresponding file:
* fx_move_ring.dds -- selected character ring and movement target marker
* fx_selection.dds -- targeted friendly ring
* fx_selection_enemy.dds � targeted hostile ring
* fx_multiselect_ring.tga � multi-selected party member ring
* fx_4_pointstar.tga � movement target �spark�
3- Some custom UI packages, like Slim GUI, also modify some of these files. If you want to use the GPS No-Ring UI Mod in conjunction with one of those, you will need to manually delete your custom UI�s version of the above files from their install folder (likely located in the UI/custom or override directories).
4- The GPS No-Ring UI Mod is compatible will all versions of NWN2.

GPS No-Ring UI Mod was put together by E.C.Patterson and Daronas of Gaming Parents Studios.
Your feedback and vote will be appreciated. Thanks.
How about adding world transition ring to the pack, I always considered that to be the biggest immersion breaker as it pops up just by being close to it.
