How do you convert NSS files to NCS?

I've got the script in a readable .nss format but the game doesn't acknowledge it when I place it in the override folder. I figure it's because the game actually only cares about the compiled version.

After a few minutes of fiddling about pointlessly, I've given up. How does one compile the .nss script files? Google continuously recommends KOTOR tools for doing this, but I have doubts that it would work that way.

Probably an incredibly stupid question, with a simple answer waiting in ambush, but oh well.

Short answer - compile it in the toolset.

As that might be new to you, here's some more detail - see also toolset manual[neverwintervault.org].

Open a new script in the toolset, open the .nss in a text editor, copy and paste the script to the toolset script, then compile.

You can also replace an existing script that way, by pasting over the entire old script.

If you specifically want to use the compiled script as an override to another module, compile the script in a new module first. Then, with the new module still open in the toolset, copy the .ncs compiled script from Neverwinter Nights\modules\temp0 to override.

Other compilers are available.

Using override for scripts is not recommended for works you plan to distribute to other people.

Ah, I had completely missed the script editor and whatnot in the toolset. That is much *much* easier. Thanks!

Also, no fear for redistributing to other people. I'm changing a variety of things in the OC and expansions to suit my taste, doubtful that others would enjoy them. I'm assuming it would be a bad idea to use override scripts due to custom modules being overridden as well?
