Toolset, ERF's, and Equipment

[Wra1thstouch]

So, in NWN1, I was fairly good with the toolset. I can't script, but I can build areas and do various equipment creation and tweaking. In NWN2, the toolset is quite a bit different. I was considering making some new appearances for mithral, darksteel, silver, and cold iron arms & armor.

I couple of questions I have after browsing the toolset:

1. Is it possible to export items into an ERF file? And would that be the preferable way in which you -- the Devs -- would like them to be given to you?

2. Would my work be redundant? i.e. Do you already have someone that does this and loves doing it?

I have no formal training and am 100% self-taught, so please try to use layman's terms for me to better understand.

Thanks!

1. Yes, you can export items into an ERF file. Would it be the preferred way, hmmm sometimes yes sometimes no. I let builders know how I want the file delivered to me so I can look it over. A module is nice such that I don't have to worry about over-writing things in one of my working modules, and I can always set it up as an ERF myself. Soooo, I guess for me a module is what I tend to prefer.

2. No, but we do have Kronk doing NPCs for us already. We really need more developers, especially in area building. Thing is, it is rare to find someone with enough know how and the time and desire to put out a finished product.

If you are interested in helping in anyway let myself or Luna know and what exactly you would like to do.

Nobody is working on new armor appearances right now.
So if you had interest, let us know.

Yes, I am interested in making some armors. I'm not sure about building areas -- it will take some time before I learn the toolset better.

What's needed? Where do you want me to start?

Missed this post, sorry for the long response time. Are you by chance still interested in helping out. Luna, do you need him anywhere?
