What is the NWN Omnibus?It is an attempt to gather the majority of NWN reference material together in one place and allow very quick keyword searching against
all of the documents at once. It includes reference documents as well as all threads from selected forums(see below for complete list).
Who is going to get the most out of the NWN Omnibus?Any NWN Custom Content creator or NWScripter who finds themselves frequently searching through the old BioWare forums using Google, the NWN Lexicon or the BioWare "For Developers" documents for
specific topics. Since so much raw information is available for searching, those who will get the
very most out of the Omnibus are individuals who already have a decent working knowledge of how Custom Content and NWScript work but who often find themselves needing to look up specific keywords or topics to further advance their pursuits.
