Summary

Pre-steam beta. 2 patch notes in one so not sure of individual release dates.

Patch Notes

Patches 8157 & 8158 introduce a number of bug fixes and Steam features in preparation for a  beta on that platform.

An old friend returns with a new look! The brand new Aribeth character model will be available to view through Steam Workshop. This model sets the standard for future Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition content.

Known Issues

• Server filters (“Localvault only, Max Ping, etc.”) still don’t work. We’re redoing these soon-ish as part of the new-and-better server list display.

Regression Fixes

• Servers will now grey out properly when the version is mismatching. This also introduces a change from previous versions, where older server versions would not list at all.
• PvP mode column again displays the correct value.
• We fixed yet more audio issues related to clipping issues in OpenMP3. This hopefully takes care of all remaining issues.

Features

• Steam: Support for Friends List through Steam. Support for Steam Workshop. Both are not available to beta testers, as Steam is not public yet.
• MDL: Normals are read from ASCII files.
• MDL: Tangents are read from ASCII files.
• MDL: Animeshes now support TSB and thus normals & specular maps.
