Nwn Core Framework

Abstract

1. Introduction

This project is a framework for managing a Neverwinter Nights module. At the most basic, it is a set of scripts to hook all events in a module. Scripts can then subscribe to the hooks and be run when the event is triggered. This allows the module builder to modularize script systems instead of combining scripts.

This system is in alpha. Things will change and will break. You have been warned.

2. Objective

An extendable event management system for Neverwinter Nights

This project demonstrates how NWScript can be applied to a real-world Full Stack Web Development problem.
