If you've been missing having access to the BioWare script forum archives, then we have some good news for you. Tom has created a way for all 15k posts to be searched! Here's what he had to say:
I have taken the existing 15,000+ posts from the original Bioware NWN Script forum (via the NWN Omnibus) and indexed them using a proprietary XML search engine.
The purpose of my effort here is to bring the original archive back to life so people who are still interested in NWN scripting may search the invaluable information that was posted there. I am interested in getting some feedback or HTML/XSLT assistance with this effort.

Skywing Returns Multi-player Interface (Community / Announcement)
Recently Gamespy (the multiplayer search provider) was sold to another company and the search engine link in NWN2 shut down. Our Alfa PW tech guru Zelknoff built her own system that finds NWN servers and posts them for all to see offline AND Skywing restored functionality to the MP interface via his Client Extension program.

Andrune (HOTU-1.69)
Andrune takes place in a gaelic-inspired setting with an emphasis on blurred morality, dark fantasy, and high adventure. Over the years our members have developed a unique world with its own elaborate history, cultures, and pantheon. But the world still exists within the general framework of Forgotten Realms and D&D; characters from other worlds can easily find their place within Andrune.
Millennia ago exiles from Faerun forged a life for themselves on a distant untamed island. They created a great Empire which claimed dominion over the land, sending the native men and elves on a retreat ever deeper into the hills and forests. Soon even the old gods who stewarded the land fell silent. In their place the Empire achieved great feats of engineering, magic and alchemy as it rose to glory.
But that was long ago and the land has become riven by strife.
In the Empire of Andrune, the lights are going out
Political rebellion from the Commonwealth of Highmarch threatens to sunder the Empire
A secretive cabal of wizards and academics plot to supplant the Emperor and his vassals
Northern wild men band together to rebuild their long lost kingdom.
At the cost of civilization the native elves and fey seek to restore the islands natural splendor
Evils from before the memory of man seek a way back into the world
And some even say that the Old Gods have awoken
At its core Andrune is about storytelling, and telling that story as a community. Most important to us is a dynamic world shaped by the players. Our DMs are always happily to bring the world to life and facilitate player-driven storylines. There are multiple DM run quests throughout most weeks and content for parties of all levels.
*Active staff of DMs to facilitate roleplay and bring the world to life.
*Unique and ever-changing world with a rich and growing body of lore.
*Scripted experience awards for roleplay and exploration.
*Spells and feats rebalanced and updated to D&D; 3.5E rules.
*Wide array of subraces available to players upon request.
*Easy character customization via clothing and cosmetic tailors.
*Fully functional DMFI support, including languages and chat commands.
HMC 5 - Cimmerian Afterlife NWN2, MOTB, SOZ 1.23 by MikeLM9215(Single Player OR Multiplayer (1-4 Players)) - Having died in your sleep, you find yourself in Crom's Realm.

I wanted to give a shout out to about how to fix the multiplayer interface with NWN2.
It's been eight years and people around the world are STILL playing AD&D; in multiplayer every single night and internationally. Due to the ability to mod it out, players have created thousands of files of new content, models, skins, and a whole universe of persistent worlds.
Recently Gamespy (the multiplayer search provider) was sold to another company and the search engine link in NWN2 shut down.
You know what the player base did? Our ALFA PW tech guru Zelknoff built her own system that finds NWN servers and posts them for all to see offline AND Skywing restored functionality to the MP interface via his Client Extension program.
I wanted to share this because NWN2 is simply one of the best MP systems out there and its the ONLY one players can create their own worlds with.
For example of what is really happening for NWN2 and in Alfa below is an animated musical map of JUST what our single tech team did in one year building our four linked persistent world servers at http://youtu.be/gHc9ZCiI7JA.
Here is Skywing's Client Extender to restore MP function to NWN2: http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=nwn2other.Detail&id;=231
And Zelknoff's Offline Server Browser: http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=NWN2Other.Detail&id;=295

Steam Engine & Machinery by Borden ha'elven (Placeables) - The steam engine & machinery are made to use in any tileset but will also compliment my Iron foundry tileset. I have added 2 replacement tiles for the Iron foundry which override the existing ones provided you place this hak above the foundry hak or combine them both and over write the old tiles. Just place the overhead pulley shafts where you want them then add machinery to taste.
Rainbow Snail Shell by The Amethyst Dragon (Placeables) - Just a small placeable snail shell. It's rainbow colored. 7z archive contains: 1 placeable model matching portraits modified placeables.2da modified portraits.2da For merging, lines for the snail shell are the last ones in each 2da. Might just be a bird-brained idea, but I figure someone out there might like this. It was a fun little challenge, so it wasn't too much of a Bother.

The Turning by Andrew Lewicky (Dramatic) - The world has Turned. One by one, the lands of the Sword Coast have fallen before the wrath of a newborn god. Yet hope remains aboard the Elizabeth Arthur, as she sails west on a last, desperate quest (a sequel to The Pig Farmer).
Note: Andrew has led me a tricky chase, but I'm pretty sure Romanandry is Andrew Lewicky, the author of this and Pig Farmer - though neither project points to a valid account. *sigh*

Murder in Mireford by Bardil(Various Settings) - A single player adventure for starting level 1 characters.

Chalkdust Race Pack by chalkdust (Races) - This is the Chalkdust Race Pack. I've added several races that I want to play, incorporating some custom pseudo-dynamic model tweaking for the gith and the Lizardfolk models from Avlis2. I'm aware that some of these races are included in other race packs, but this is the selection that I want added to my own games.
Fallout Nuka Cola Machine by Drenark(Placeables) - This my retexturing of the DrHoo Jukebox. Now, you have a nice Nuka Cola machine for Fallout universe. Of course, this is an adaptation to approach the initial model of Fallout 1 and 2.
