File Descriptions: 

BlackRain_NeverwinterLights_SP_200.mod features the games of the Neverwinter Lights casino framed by a small (hour long) single-player storyline, guiding you through an exciting plot to stake out and rob the casino.  It uses both the BlackRain_NWL_SPContent and the BlackRain_NWL_CasinoGames hak packs.

BlackRain_NeverwinterLights_MP_200.mod presents the games in a casino interior stripped of single-player storyline elements, and is meant for multiplayer competitive gameplay with stat tracking or if you simply want to play the games by themselves.  It uses the BlackRain_NWL_CasinoGames hak pack.

BlackRain_NWL_SPContent.hak contains all art resources used by the SP module as part of its storyline.

BlackRain_NWL_CasinoGames.hak contains all art resources for the casino games, and is used by both modules.

BlackRain_NeverwinterLights_MP_ConvoScriptExport.erf contains the conversations and scripts for the casino games in an exported format for modders.  If you are a player and do not wish to use the games in your own module, you do not need this file.

Neverwinter Lights Mod Guide 2.0.pdf is a writeup for modders detailing game performance and rules customization options built into the casino game scripts.

Leaderboards [NWL3]


BlackRain_NeverwinterLights_MP_200.mod includes a leaderboard feature.  To access the leaderboard, use the obelisk near the bar of the main casino area.  Within the leaderboard GUI players can examine their gold won, gold lost, and amount of time played (in real minutes) statistics either per game or in a cumulative basis by clicking the appropriate buttons.  By default the leaderboard will display the top 20 entries in any category, with an additional entry for the accessing player if he or she does not qualify as one of the top 20 entries.  Leaderboard statistics can be saved when the module itself is saved, and will persist across sessions.
