Skywing's Client Extension
Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2013 12:00 am
I've just been notified by Skywing that there is a new version of the Client Extension software available.

For those not familiar with Client Extension, it's a little add-on to NWN that allows some additional functionality. For DMs, I consider this an almost must-have application due to its player-finder and teleport widgets (not to mention some additional DM-specific console commands), while even for players it grants additional functionality through the text entry widget (that allows for copy-and-paste, as well as larger blocks of text than the normal text entry box allows) and the ability to create hot-button macros. The new version also includes a "replacement" for the Gamespy master server that was taken away from us.
The only negative I can find in the Client Extension is that you need a two-monitor setup to really be able to take advantage of it, running the game "windowed" but full-screen on one monitor and the widgets tiled on the other.
