A couple of client-side things...

1) You can colour code your text macro quickslots. You can't colour your actual spoken text, but you can colour your macro labels:

Copy/paste any of these colour codes in your label field before typing the label name. Now just type your label name and you will have coloured labels. I find them handy for categorizing types of macros. You're just copying the pointy brackets stuff including the brackets.

Code: Select all

WHITE = <c???>      
LIGHT_GREY = <c???> 
GREY = <c€€€>       
DARK_GREY = <c@@@>  
BLACK = <c   >      
                       
LIGHT_RED = <c?€€>  
LIGHT_GREEN = <c€?€>
LIGHT_BLUE = <c€€?> 
LIGHT_YELLOW = <c??€>
LIGHT_PURPLE = <c?€?>
LIGHT_CYAN = <c€??> 
                       
RED = <c?  >        
GREEN = <c ? >      
BLUE = <c  ?>       
YELLOW = <c?? >     
PURPLE = <c? ?>     
CYAN =  <c ??>      
ORANGE = <c?™ >     
                       
DARK_RED = <c€  >   
DARK_GREEN = <c € > 
DARK_BLUE = <c  €>  
DARK_YELLOW = <c€€ >
DARK_PURPLE = <c€ €>
DARK_CYAN = <c €€>  
                       
SALMON = <c?’y>     
AQUA = <c!??>       
BEIGE = <c?m> 

END COLOUR = </c>    
2) Ever get the annoying "I'm in a large party but can only see a few of my party member's portraits"?

Best fix I have found is alt+enter to minimize to a window, scroll to the bottom of your party list. The portraits should reappear and you can maximize with alt+enter. If they don't appear when scrolling down minimized, try scrolling up and down once or twice.

You need to have AllowWindowedMode=1 under [Display Options] in your nwn.ini file for minimizing to work.

DM's should like this one if they don't know about it yet.

You also need to edit a line to; FullScreen=0 from 1.

Also remember to run the desktop resolution HIGHER than the game resolution, or you could have crashes.

Like the colours info, BTW!

Shame all my quickslots are full of potions and scrolls etc, or I might use them :lol:
