Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition Head Start v74.8150 Patch

If you pre-ordered the game or are just lucky enough to be participating in the “Head Start” release of Beamdog’s Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition, then you should know that there’s a new v74.8150 patch available that carries with it some perforamnce enhancements, adds the option to hide helmets, and introduces some fixes. The notes:

• Maximum texture memory specified in the .ini file.
• This means the 64 meg texture limit is no longer as limiting
• The default size will increase in the future, but we maintained it as an ini option for the sake of compatibility
• Max Texture Memory is now 2047mb
• Armour parts of complex models to can now carry their own color channel id (#HypnoElf)
• Hidden helmets & equipment
• Effectively a “make helmet invisible when worn” scripting function
• It can be used equally for any slot which has creature mesh visibility when equipped: armor, helm, cloak, left hand, and right hand, etc…
• Fixed an area transition issue “Doors with no transition but a script attached are not triggerable”
• This was the issue that was blocking players from playing “Infinite Dungeons”, and likely a number of other bug reports we’ve been receiving about area transitions being broken
• Improve water shader
• Part 1 – Expose variables to modders (find the values in the Shaders_README file)
• l-
  Part 2 – Experimental water shaders that
• – react to daytime (water colour tinting)
  – have skybox shading – (tilt camera low to see difference).
  – react to wind strength.
  – react to rain/snow.
  – react to wind events (like explosions and characters walking through water)
• Fixed crash when force-updating appearance for creature with invalid/empty armor slot
• Fixed a rare crash when logging into a server and somehow getting stripped of items
