Neverwinter Nights 2 Game Update 1.21 Patch Notes November 5, 2008
The following list contains the majority of fixes and features added in the 1.21 Game update. All spoilers for Storm of Zehir have been removed from this list.

General * Item costs in the game should match the costs in the toolset. * Party members that have wands with 0 charges will now attack and use spells normally. * When dropping an item, characters will now use the appropriate "drop" animation. * Fixed an issue with opening two bags at once. You will now only be able to open one bag. *The tool tip for the Player Chat menu item will now say Player Chat. * Fixed an issue that caused freecam (console command) to not work properly. * Made several corrections to the Doomgude class description. * Snake's Swiftness, Mass will now affect the entire party. * Hellfire Shield should now play an appropriate sound effect when activated. * Hellfire Blast should now play an appropriate sound when activated. * The description of Hellfire Shield has been changed to appropriately reflect it is an Area of Effect shield. * Weapon Focus: Warmace will now be available to all qualified characters. * The ability score descriptions in character creation have been changed to be more informative and reflect changes to the game. * Fixed an issue that was causing certain AI behavior feedback to be displayed, even after being deactivated. * When the game is paused, a much more noticeable message is displayed. * Aura of protection will no longer provide "No Stacking" feedback. Toolset * Item costs in the toolset should match the costs in game. * Changing checkboxes with multiple objects selected will no longer cause the toolset to crash. * Changing dropdown lists with multiple objects selected will no longer cause the toolset to crash. * Fixed an issue where resizing a creature may not have resized the collision spheres. * Fixed an issue where the creature cache was not working properly. * Dropdowns generated from 2DAs will no longer start with the wrong row selected. * Redesigned the fields associated with setting Tints to no longer be collapsed controls. * Fixed an issue that caused light and sound spheres to not render at their proper size. * Fixed an issue that caused ceiling tint changes to not show up in the toolset.
New Features
General * Playable races now have a proper stealth animation. * Added in the AI functionality from TonyK's AI. * In a peer-to-peer multiplayer session, the hosting player may now unpause the game unconditionally.
Toolset * Added properties associated with the overland map, including camera positioning and the flag to mark the area as an overland map. * Added camera positioning functionality settings in the area properties to support overland maps created by the community. * Added a flag in the area properties to set an area to be an overland map. * Added Campaign flags for Unrestricting NPC level ups (Lets them chose any class at level up) * Added Campaign flags for Conversation Distance limit override. * Added Campaign flags to turn off party-control character swapping for dialogs on a global level. * Added Campaign flags to enable Party Creation and setting what the size of the party should be. * Added Campaign flags to toggle the new death system.
Scripting * PlaySound() now takes an optional parameter: bPlayAs2D. This parameter will default to FALSE. Setting this parameter to TRUE will force the engine to play the sound you specified as a 2D sound rather than 3D Positional audio, regardless of what the engine would normally do before. * BeginConversation() now has a parameter that allows you to block the character's 'Greeting' VO from playing. * Added a script function SetScrollBarValue() * Added a script function SetPause() * Added a script function GetPause()
Additional items that will be int he patch, but are not listed int he patch notes are:
* Added in the authentication system to support the Adventure Pack system.
* Fixed issues that would cause the Arcane Scholar of Candlekeep to crash on transition if they had certain items or metamagic spells in the quickbar.
* Use Magic Device will no longer supersede a character's caster class or level, when that caster level is higher than the UMD skill.
* Fixed an issue that caused high level items to be used when a character had a single point in Use Magic Device.

It's not required, but it's allowed. You'll have to patch again after SoZ though. _________________ Lawful does not mean obeying laws. The MotB Revert Pack: revert the heads and Warlock armor! |

You now have 3 camera modes. Old strategy mod is split to exploration and stategy modes.
Try experimenting with options to get what you want.
In my oppinion, new exploration mod is much closer to original NWN2 strategy mod. While new strategy mod, with free camera, is more useful during the batlle, and can't really be configured as old strategy mode (no camera centered on player, for example). It's also very similar to mode used in Baldur's Gate games.
P.S. I actually like how they split them. Now I don't need from time to time in big battles to change camera options from tracking the player to free mode just in order to aim properly with my spell. _________________ Spell Fixes compilation for NWN2 Feat Selection Fixes for NWN2Edited By rpgplayer1 on 11/18/08 00:38 |

You have 3 new button down there near hotbar (you can also use * button). Also, look in prerefences how to tweak any mode you want. _________________ Spell Fixes compilation for NWN2 Feat Selection Fixes for NWN2 |

Well, I think I've already found one issue. You said in the last thread that "we separated the scale and speed settings for animations, and that should be in this patch." It isn't, or at least I can't see any difference at all.
Edit: What's this I just heard? Tony K says his AI isn't even in this patch. So what's the deal, it's only available to people who buy SoZ or something?  _________________ Lawful does not mean obeying laws.

So 1.21 is a Post-SoZ Patch? I reckon the SoZ Version Number is 1.20? |

I haven't been playing NWN2 lately, and so haven't kept up with the patches. My current version is 1.12(1295). Do I have to manually patch the two 1.13 patches before installing SoZ, or will it run without them? |
