 Hi, 
I just installed NWN2 for my two kids on a Mac Book Pro (French version). We're already on a job trip, so everything gets a little more complicated. 
I kind of know my NWN1 quite well, and can't/don't want to afford the time to move to another full game knowledg myself. So, I'd just want to get the basics for NWN2 to have them easily enjoying it... without their dad loosing his job like NWN1 almost succeded at...   
One big question:
- How could I spawn some items in game? But please, the very Mac way. No idea where the 'tide' button is, but... I already found out just by pressing 'enter' opens the chat bar, but ##DebugMode 1, followed by ##dm_spawnitem XXXXXX doesn't work... (I found myself a couple of 'items' & cheats lists with everything I need)
I'm also planning to install maybe Tony K's AI (found the link already) and some nice looking female heads(?) since the regular ones look my grandmother's, after she died even.

(known as jmlzemaggo on NWN1 forums, but forgot my codes to loggin here)

So far, I managed to update that game up to 1.12. Is that good enough, as I want to keep it as a french version, since these two 8 years old dummies don't even speak english.
You know, kids... 

+++ How can I have my henchies orders placed into my quickbar?
And I couldn't find a button for a quick savegame...
Just in case... ;)

Thanks!

The chat window [Enter] should work w/ ## before regular commands.

##DebugMode 1
##giveitem item_resref
##DebugMode 0

sry, I don't know anything about Mac installs or non-English keyboards ..... F12 is usually the QuickSave,

and just drag and drop voice commands [V] to the hotbar to give orders.

That's music to my ears. And I even understood everything.
Thanks kevL.

Replying to myself under my true NWN1 name... ;)

As far as updating goes, there is a link in the updates thread (in the sticky section) that should provide you with everything you need to get up to patch level 1.23, but I am not sure if that applies across the board. Are you running completely Mac, no bootstrapping with whatever it is that allows you to run PC games on a Mac?

In any case, check the links out in the sticky section. There should be plenty to assist you in things like you have been asking.

Yeap, worked very fine, I had nothing with me, booklet or anything, at the time as I just bought the computer before the trip and it's surprisingly not that easy to find stuff for NWN2 on the net, so you helped a lot. Just your "##giveitem item_resref" happened to be the key for NWN2 to my 8 years old personal monsters. And to myself, as soon as the sedative took effect... :devil:
I wrote myself an NWN1 list to help beginners, for situations like this,(in my signature) 

NWN2 is actually very like NWN1, to me. In fact, I don't see much of a difference once you've been playing it a while. That map system could drive yourself crazy at first, only... when you get back to NWN1... you kind of miss its intuitive way of working. 
But it's fun to see your breedings enjoying within a couple of seconds a game it took yourself years to master... 

Thanks again, kevL.

I'm back home, and playing (my kids only... normally B)) with the french Mac version (10€ only now...) the regular Mac way. 
And I'd make sure to check on your links. 

& I thank you for those.

sorry for kicking a dead horse..... but its so sad that I had to go into debugmode in the battle of the keep for the nightwalker encounter. I have NWN complete which was apparently repacked and sold in 2011 and STILL no patch to fix it? No wonder people complain that this game is buggy. I haven't googled for errors in Motb yet ... hopefully they got the expansion down before release. shesh

So, umm, why, what error? Since this thread isn't about that.

As I recall there was an issue where if you were too close to the nightwalker when it spawned in or something it caused some kind of problem. I never saw it myself but it was reported in the old forums. I don't know why anyone would expect any official patches though regardless of how they re-package the game. There will be no more patches. We are on our own.
