               DDS thumbnail viewer, Is there a dds thumbnail viewer that works with win7 x64?
It seems to work on my laptop that is win 7 x86.

               This little gem lets you see non nwn dds and tga's in win 7 32 & 64bit. Let's you convert the tga's to jpeg right clicking the mouse too, handy feature.

               Adobe has published links to several of their older software products, including Photoshop CS2.  The links include serial numbers for installation.  I am a die-hard GIMP user so it doesn't mean much to me, but apparently this was somewhat of a blunder/mixup on Adobe's part.

www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html

There are also downloads for many of their other products along with a valid serial number.  Slashdot has an interesting article/thread on what has happened if interested:

tech.slashdot.org/story/13/01/08/1648227/adobes-strange-software-giveaway-goof-or-clever-marketing

Probably best to get these while still published - especially if you are using, *ahem*, less than legal versions currently.

               There's still no clear statement from Adobe whether it's legal to download it or not. Everything they'd said so far could me one thing or the other. They're worse than politician! '>
I won't use it if it's not legal and wait for a proper statement from Adobe. Knowing my luck the download will just disappear without any official statement from Adobe and they'll not do anything about the hundreds of thousands who have downloaded it by now even if they could - probably they can't do anything about it anyway.
I think they should just give it away for free now. They'd get a lot of people starting to use it. Seems like it would help selling newer versions later. And people who use it professionaly will by newer versions than a seven year old version anyway.

               In making several of my projects compatible with Project Q, the biggest hurdle has been making the blueprints (ERF) file since the 2DA number schemes are typically off.  I've found these two tools to be of immense value in making this a non-issue:

ERF utility by roboius located here : extract all the blueprint UTP files out of an ERF.

GFF2XML and XML2GFF by tk102 located here* : convert the UTP files extracted to XML and vice versa.

Once in XML format, I can just whip up a quick Perl script to run thru all the files and change the appearance offset to make a new set of blueprints, then convert back to UTP and add back to a new ERF.  It takes all of 5 minutes now to create a blueprint set to be compatible with other community content.

* there's lots of other goodies on the KOTOR modding page that works with NWN.......

 Much thanks to OldMansBeard for this gift to the community, this tool has saved me countless hours of hunting down problems in models.

               I want to thank Old Man's Beard too.
Even if there are no problems with the model CleanModels can still save you a lot of time optimizing the model, especially when you don't have 3dmax and have to work with gmax.
Gmax has no 'remove isolated t-verts' function and I haven't found and scripts for this either.
Removing the isolated t-verts yourself is very time consuming.
With version 3.5 of CleanModels I finally don't have to do this tedious work myself any more.
Previous versions weren't working for me, even though I had the correct dlls, but this version works great.
Thank you, OMB!

                Audio Conversion
Thanks to Tiberius Morguhn's recommendation I now use WinLame for converting .ogg file to .mp3 and MP3toBMU to put into the final NWN format. It's a free opensource utility that runs on Windows and can input a boatload of different file formats.

Fester Pot recomended Sound Forge. It's a commercial product from Sony that retails for $59.95 and probably has a lot more features than WinLame.
