The ACR Builder Helper project is a Neverwinter Nights 2 toolset plugin to help make the lives of ALFA builders and HDMs easier.

Features

  • Module Validation: The helper will check (and in some cases, fix) common issues found in modules. Currently it handles:
    • Areas
      • (Auto-fixed) Bloom values of 0.0 can cause issues on some graphic cards.
      • (Auto-fixed) Set to use ACR scripts if it currently has none.
      • Warns of creature/item instances manually placed, as ACR Spawn should be used instead.
    • Creatures
      • (Auto-fixed) Set to use ACR scripts if it currently has none.
      • Warns of invalid faction IDs.
      • Warns of perception ranges that aren't PC-5 or PC-10.
      • Warns of PC walk rate (this will cause infinite attacks of opportunity on retreating creatures/PCs).
    • Items
      • (Auto-fixed) Set to use ACR scripts if it currently has none.
      • (Auto-fixed) Adjusts base costs that were incorrectly calculated.
      • Warns of negative cost items.
    • Placeables
      • (Auto-fixed) Set to use ACR scripts if it currently has none.
    • Triggers
      • (Auto-fixed) Set to use ACR scripts if it currently has none.
    • Waypoints
      • Checks for compliance with ACR Spawn, including variable types and bounds.
  • Editor Windows: These floating windows help you edit various NWN2 resources.
    • Variable manager. Exposes variables as simple dropdown menus, toggle switches, or inputs. Handles complex arrays and other ACR-specific data types. Provides a list of what special variables are useful, as well as descriptions for each.
    • Property pane persistence. Sections do not expand with each selection change.
