Patch 1.06 and the toolset

Yesterday I dared to do the upgrade from 1.05 to 1.06. It was some quite exciting and nervous moments when i started to toolset and loaded my module (after making two separate backups far away from the NWN2-folders)...

"Toolset has encountered a problem..."

I tried three times without luck so I tried to open the "Dark Waters" module. No problem. A few minutes of complete and mercyless fear later I restored my ZORK I-backup and the module loaded just fine.

It's kind of late to do a 1.06 review but my impression of it so far is:

• Not so stabile as 1.05 but much better than 1.03 and 1.04.
• I can't get the new pressure control tool working (maybe because of my non-US operating systems keyboard handling).
• Placed effects don't always show up in the toolset so I have to save and reload a lot.
• The Visual Effects Editor hangs, and more irritating, don't refresh the screen sometimes. I've wasted much time on looking for problems that never existed in my PFX's.
• When using undo/redo the painted water vanish. Very frustrating until I learned not to use undo in exterial areas.
• The type-ahead in script drop down menues is very, very, very slow now.

But what's good in the 1.06 patch? To be honest I can't think of anything other than it didn't destroy my module, the OC works fine and it's the next step towards 1.1 (which in my dream world is like the NWN1 1.31 patch). Oh, yes, one thing the OnClick -event on placeables! I don't complain. Everything works good enough to make my work going and I've been reading about 1.07 and it's not very far away.

Tonight I'll make all OnItemAcquired scripts for the treasure items, there's just 19 of them so it wouldn't take long.

Thanks for reading!
