Description

Normally when you try to Copy and Paste multiple lines into NWN, you end up with a box at the end [] due to the difference in how programs interpret the command to move to a new line. There is a single way around this, and must be followed exactly.

1. Download Notepad++

2. Under Settings -> Preferences -> New Document/Default Directory, turn the Format to "Unix".

3. Click on "Encoding" in the toolbar. Change it to "Encode in UTF-8 without BOM".

4. Create a new document.

5. Paste desired text into the document.

6. Copy the text. Up to 1024 characters may be copied into NWN at a time.

Note: There is a hardcoded limit of 2048 characters that is saved to a fixture. If it is in the world at the time of a server reset and it is longer than 2048 characters, the description will reset.

In NWN:

1. Select an empty Quick Slot.

2. On the Radial Dial, go directly up to "Custom Text Macro"

3. You can label the macro anything.

4. CTRL + V to paste into the macro.

5. Click OK.

6. Click the Macro

Note: You will, by default, shout your macro. Add /w or /tk to the beginning of the first line to be copied.
