    Blue Glow in 1.63 patch
    There is no such elven ability.

    Complete lack of game manual
    HotU should come with a manual. If there is no manual in the box, please contact your retailer for replacement, as it sounds like a manufacturing error.

    C++ Pointer Problems
    There are a lot of problems with this code. DragonSong posted about the FindFile problems. All of your memory allocations are leaking. Why are you even allocating memory? The 256 constant isn't good enough, you should use MAX_PATH. Using sprintf to populate the data is strange at best and can cause all sorts of problems. The terminating the strings with 0 only applies in cases where you are using such things a strncpy.

    what will be in the 1.63 patch

    ---------------
    can cleric domains bypassing mantles and/or imunity be corrected?? i'm tired of my shifter rak being mauled by cleric ice when it shouldn't even touch me.
    ---------------

    I believe it was already stated elsewhere that this issue had been fixed internally and the fix should be in the 1.63 (when ever that will be released).

    DM Client guidebook
    I believe it works for placeables as long as they aren't static. So if you make them non-static then you should be able to destroy them this way. A non-static non-usable placeable could be destroyed this way. Or a non-static useable placeable, but not a static placeable.

    Custom portraits.

    ---------------
    hi, sorry to bother you guys but i cant for the life of me find a tutorial on how to make my own portraits if anyone could drop me a link id really appreciate it tyvm.
    ---------------

    Here you go. http://nwn.bioware.com/builders/portraits.html

    Console

    ---------------
    On my system for some odd reason, if i press ~ in game, i crash.
    ---------------

    There was an issue with some ATI cards and older versions of their drivers that could make this happen. If you have an ATI card installed, I would try updating your video drivers and the problem might go away.

    Console

    ---------------
    The ~ key doesn't work in NWN on many non-USA keyboards. It doesn't on my Danish keyboard setup, for instance. You hit enter to get to your chat window, and prefix whatever you write there with ## - for instance: ##DebugMode 1
    ---------------

    I'm guess this is most likely what your problem is. The ~ key doesn't work on some other language keyboards. There is a way to bring up the console somehow on other keyboards, but the key is different (try the single back quote key ` ). I think other people have determined the correct key for other keyboards, you might want to try a search on the forums for what that key is (can't remember off the top of my head).
