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.

What information does this release of the NWN Omnibus contain?
2DA 169 - All 575 .2DA files, current to the 1.69 release

3DS Max Export Scripts - BioWare 3DS Max export scripts documentation, which includes a good deal of information on NWN Custom Content in general. Downloadable separately here

BioWare For Developers - All 22 documents covering NWN file formats (and other things) from this page

BioWare Forums - Offline archives of the following forums from the old BioWare website, each thread in its own .HTML file. The following full forum archives from the old BioWare site are included in this release (followed by the number of searchable threads from each):

NWN Custom Content (ARCHIVE) - 17,000
Custom Content - 3,567
Scripting - 15,194
Toolset - 4,907
BioWare News Discussion -1,372
For Developers - 988
Server Admin - 5,788

Also Stickied threads for 21 forums (all of the forums above and more)

Custom Content Guide 3.0 - The "Bible" of Custom Content. Downloadable separately here.

GMax & Maxscript Help - Help files for GMax (3DS Max 4) and Maxscript, downloadable separately here

Lexicon 169 - The "Bible" of NWScript (and many, many other things as well!), downloadable separately here

Tileset Construction - BioWare's NWN Tileset Construction Tutorial, downloadable separately here. I don't include any of the files, just index the information.

TXI - Every TXI officially released by BioWare as part of their content, segregated by the bif they were found in. Extremely useful for looking up how certain TXI commands were used by BioWare and whether other commands or setting were typically paired with them.

  I just recommended it for stickying here, but the more recommendations the better.

[OldTimeRadio]

Ha, we were posting at the same time! Thanks, Failed.Bard!

Has anybody got this working in windows 7 64bit? I was practically living (LOL) on the old forums; I knew I couldn't post but I'm such a latecomer to nwn that I always found answers to my questions there, and now bioware has removed them!! My only hope now is this program which isn't working and yes I've installed both 32 bit and 64 bit java versions and read the troubleshooting posts over at sourceforge but no luck so far.

[Calvinthesneak]

I'll try installing it right now, I'm running win 7 64 bit professional

[Vivienne L]

Please, Calvin, if you get it running, can you tell me how you did it? Thanks!

[Calvinthesneak]

No dice for me yet. I just tried to install the JRE. Now I think I have the SDK installed too, for programming, so I may somehow tell the system what version I want it to use.


EDIT:  While no luck for me, I've tried the 32 bit JRE and SDK, tried to ensure my system was using those installs and the program still won't run.  It is noted on their website that you need the 32 bit JRE.  Thoughts? tips? suggestions?

There is a link to troubleshoot for the problems we're having in win 7 64bit:
http://sourceforge.n...4/topic/3792843
and I've followed these directions; either I did something wrong, (I'm not very good at understanding codes and such) or the directions just aren't working for me though others at the forum report success. One of them says that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

[OldTimeRadio]

I don't have Windows 7 or a 64-bit machine so I can't offer much help. But remember all the raw data is there in the data folder. So if you come across another data-indexer like DocFetcher, you can just use the contents of an Omnibus' data folder to feed into that other program.

[Failed.Bard]

Okay, I was having the same problem, and fixed it by changing the "LastIndexedFolder" line in user.properties to have the proper path.

In my case, from:
LastIndexedFolder=E\\:\\\\NWN Omnibus\\\\data\\\\TXI\\\\aurora_gui.bif

To:
LastIndexedFolder=C\\:\\\\Games\\\\NWN\\\\NWN Omnibus\\\\data\\\\TXI\\\\aurora_gui.bif

It loaded right up after I made that change.

[Calvinthesneak]

Sweet success at last. Vivienne, I used the instructions you listed there. Very carefully installed the jre to a directory right off root (c:\\java6-32) so my working directory is c:\\java6-32\\bin\\javaw.exe.

I then edited the batch file to reflect the changes, exactly as per the forums post. You then have to launch using the BIN file, not the exe.

Great idea, OldTimeRadio!

I'm glad you got it working, Calvin. Please, tell me which one is the bin file? I see 2 "application" files, a batch file, and 2 files that seem to be related to linux which are irrelevant to us right now. I uninstalled and then reinstalled java32 to (c:java6-32) then I copied and replaced with this: :proceed
set libclasspath=%libclasspath%;.\\lang start /b C:\\java6-32\\bin\\javaw.exe -Xmx256m -cp %libclasspath% -Djava.library.path=lib net.sourceforge.docfetcher.DocFetcher %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
to the batch file but It's still not working for me.
I also changed the "LastIndexedFolder" line in user.properties like FailedBard says above but still no go. If I run the batch file it seems to open a console window for one split second and then nothing.

[Calvinthesneak]

docfetcher.bat

@echo off

set libclasspath=

for %%f in (.\\lib\\*.jar) do (call :append_classpath %%f)
for %%f in (.\\lib\\windows\\*.jar) do (call :append_classpath %%f)
goto :proceed

:append_classpath
set libclasspath=%libclasspath%;%1
goto :eof

:proceed
set libclasspath=%libclasspath%;.\\lang
start /b C:\\java6-32\\bin\\javaw.exe -Xmx256m -cp %libclasspath% -Djava.library.path=lib net.sourceforge.docfetcher.DocFetcher %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

That's the only thing I changed, after I installed my java platform off my root directory. I still even have my x64 version of java in the standard directory.

I simply execute the docfetcher-daemon-win.exe file and it runs.

EDIT:  I installed the JDK actually since I tend to mess with java a fair bit.
jdk-6u26-windows-i586.exe

[Vivienne L]

Thanks, Calvin. That's exactly what my docfetcher.bat looks like but when I run docfetcher-daemon-win.exe, it seems to open for a split second and then I don't see anything although it seems to be running in the background because it's listed as running in the processes in the task manager. I also left my x64 version of java untouched. I'm going to try and install the version of java you installed and see what happens.

[Vivienne L]

Nope, nothing seems to work for me as yet!

[Calvinthesneak]

Hmmm are you running the daemon as administrator? might not hurt to try compatibility mode as well for it.

EDIT: Hmm interesting.  I actually have to run the batch file first then the daemon before it runs.

Thank you, Calvin! Running the batch file and then the daemon file actually made it work!! Thanks! Now back to reading the old posts!

When I unpack the 7z file at my home XP computer...(tried both 7z and Winrar and multiple downloads) it doesn't go all the way...starts giving out errors close to the end.

At work, a win7 computer, the unpacking worked nicely but then the program doesn't start...

[SuperFly_2000]

I am looking through the raw data files now. The forums mainly. Is there a way to make sense of the scripts in the former "code" windows?

Wishing people wouldn't have used thoose right about now lol....

[OldTimeRadio]

Superfly, I don't know what's going on for you.  I don't have Windows 7...yet...and so I just can't comment.  I think 7-zip allows you to test an archive when you open it so you might try that, though if it unpacks on one machine it should unpack on all. 

As far as the scripts from the scripting forum and their representation in html...I don't know how you can address that.  If you were good with parsing the files (say with something like Perl) you might be able to reconstruct their original look if the files retain the spaces and newlines in the original web pages.  Or something like that.

Sadly, as handy as the Omnibus is it only goes so far when it comes to displaying certain things.  I actually did a find and replace on huge portions of the html files (something teeny, I can't remember what) but if you have the time feel free to play around with changing them.  You could definitely clean up the data more and possibly bring back some sense into the quoted scripts.  Possibly.
