Chat logs are a great way to preserve RP, study combat, and have logs for peace of mind in case of report-able issues.

Turn on logging in NWN EE

How to turn on logging in NWN EE.

Batch files for Windows

Details for making .bat files.

Using steam install, not running through steam

Has the advantage of automatic log re-naming after quitting, but doesn't use Steam Workshop subscriptions

Using Steam install running through steam

Advantage of using Steam Workshop subscriptions and Steam overlay, but sludgy implementation of automatic chat logging

Explaining the commands

• @echo off

That turns off the unsightly file path.

• cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Neverwinter Nights\bin\win32

Make sure you have this, the batch doesn't seem to work right unless you set the path before.

• echo

This is the text that you see.

• set /p servervar= Server Number:

This is the multiple choice script.

server is the variable a variable and has to be set before anything can be done.

• if %servervar% == 1 start nwmain.exe +connect game.arelith.com:5121

This called on the servervar variable (HAS to have % on either sides I believe)

And if servervar is set to 1 then it automatically connects to the server.
