               You want to host an online NWN server right? I will cover the simple procedure here. No in-depth tutorial though, just procedure.

To create:
Open the auora toolset (spelling). You can locate either in the launch menu screen, or in your install directory. Make yourself familiar with the toolset, check some tutorials.

To host:
Locate your install directory and open nwserver.exe. The rest is pretty self-explanatory, just load the module you want to host and pick a server category.

I take for granted that you've windows

               You'll find the toolkit  aka nwtoolset.exe  in the C:\\neverwinternights\\NWN folder. Also found there is nwserver.exe which is the server program (for hosting). Message me if you like more help.

Be well. Game on.

               I'll post a longer reply later, for now, you need to get some info on the TOOLKIT - it has a board of its own on this forum, I'm sure you'll find links to myriad 'how-to' PDFs there, and I'll include specific links in my reply later.

Be well. Game on.

               Spend about 4 years making a module worth playing, and then worry about putting it online.
There are shortcuts of course if you want to to use pre-fab areas, and base module scripts.  Then perhaps in a couple of years you could have something worth playing.  Not being negative, really, just realistic.

               infact why worry about putting it online at all. start by making a downloadable module and see if you get a good grade. otherwise you will be wasting alot of time on support, that you could have used on improving your knowledge and skills in the toolset. when you got a good feedback you can start thinking about putting it up as a PW. (just remember to think Multiplayer from the very beginning)

               Why does everyone always assume PW is what people are planning to make? You can make a module in a week, that is actually fun, unlike so many grand 'PW's out there.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_CID-78]

               if you read OP post it's quite clear that he want a PW. and not a MP downloadable module. And I agree that there is way to many that want to go the PW way and almost all of them fail. It's easier todo a SP/MP standalone module then to make a PW. if you can't script (or have anyone on the team that can) you should even try making a PW, it will only be a ripoff of all other out there. ie you keep pushing in existing system and don't have anything that makes it unique.

if you go SP/MP you can still have a strong story or setting that will overcome a lack of cool systems.
