I've just been notified by Skywing that there is a new version of the Client Extension software available.

http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/161/index/3116438

For those not familiar with Client Extension, it's a little add-on to NWN that allows some additional functionality. For DMs, I consider this an almost must-have application due to its player-finder and teleport widgets (not to mention some additional DM-specific console commands), while even for players it grants additional functionality through the text entry widget (that allows for copy-and-paste, as well as larger blocks of text than the normal text entry box allows) and the ability to create hot-button macros. The new version also includes a "replacement" for the Gamespy master server that was taken away from us.

The only negative I can find in the Client Extension is that you need a two-monitor setup to really be able to take advantage of it, running the game "windowed" but full-screen on one monitor and the widgets tiled on the other.

We danced among the lightning bolts,
and tore the world asunder.

Be warned, trying to use it in full screen mode can cause major lag like behaviour. Not sure this will happen to everyone, but it happened to me.

New version of it released today. Includes the ability to create a desktop link to a PW. Skywing rocks!
