Aurora Toolset - Neverwinter Nights 2

The Electron toolset that comes with Neverwinter Nights 2 is an evolution of the Aurora toolset. The NWN2 toolset has been rewritten by developer Obsidian Entertainment from the ground up in C#.

Obsidian has announced the following enhancements:

• Camera placement options.
• More wizards.
• Conversation nodes will be able to pass parameters to scripts.
• Tools will be "modeless", e.g., the builder will be able to have a dialogue window open and change things on the map at the same time.
• Tabbed interface to easily jump between features.
• Trees will be built using SpeedTree.
• Objects (including creatures) can be scaled (larger or smaller) along one (or all) of three axes.
• Support nearly any TrueType font.
• The GUI will be skinnable.
• Color palette are not used, because everything can be modified with 32-bits of color precision; up to 3 different tints can be applied to objects.
• The toolset also has a plugin ability so module creators can interface their own components.
• Can change and create new palette categories.
