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.

Famous quotes containing the word nights:
“The style, which is something I take to heart, is getting on my nerves horribly. It frustrates and torments me. I have days when I am sick about it and nights when it gives me a fever. The more I go at it the more I find myself incapable of conveying the Idea.”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
