Sinfar Client Extender (SinfarX)

SINFAR CLIENT EXTENDER

SinfarX extends the Neverwinter Nights client with server-specific features and fixes.

Sinfar has its own client extender called SinfarX. It pushes many limits of the base game, adds features, and provides fixes required for Sinfar’s expanded custom content and visual systems.

SinfarX is available for NWN Diamond on Windows, NWN Diamond on Linux, and NWN:EE v8181 on Windows.

Main Features

Visual Control Moving, rotating, and scaling visual effects, body parts, creatures, and placeables.

Color & PLT Systems RGBA coloring for visual effects, PLT on visual effects, and PLT color mapping, overriding, and shadowing.

Expanded Assets Extra armor part slots, texture mapping on placeables, and texture mapping on visual effects.
