Neverwinter Nights 2: Community Custom Content Opportunity

Hello all you WarCryian readers! Dunniteowl here, from the Biosidian forums and the Neverwinter Citadel Project. I am interested in having the Citadel be able to endorse a series and or set of standards and practices when it comes to Community Created Custom Content.

You can find the initial opening to this idea here: Community Created Custom Content Compliance (C5): What is it? Clearly this is the sort of thing one cannot simply do for everyone that has an interest in Community Created Custom Content. This is an open invitation to assist, in a positive way, the creation of standards and practices that all content creators and content users would stand to benefit from throughout the NeverWinter Community.

If you are a potential Module Maker with Custom Content, this is something you should consider participating in. At least read the section highlighted above and see if there is something that you can add to it. No set of standards or practices is going to be used by everyone, however this doesn't mean the idea isn't a good one, or one that would, in the long term, promote greater ease of integration of CC for all in the Community using them.

If you are, or plan to be, a Custom Content Creator, then the discussion is intended for you and everyone else that uses your CC in order to reduce overwrites, re-compilations, adding differing materials into several different hak packs, etc. In effect, this whole concept is intended to reduce bloat, confusion, corruption of files and the ability of separately created CC to "play nice" with each other from the get go.

Even if the plan is not that great at the outset, it is better to have a decent plan, than to have no plan at all.

Give it some thought, discuss it amongst yourselves, farm it out to other PW's, News, Fan and Forums for CC sites as you see fit. It's time to get this going and discussed before Custom Content starts trickling out to the net.

Cheers and Toodles,
