Ok, here we go. Here is the new link to an updated version of the Lexicon http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Other.Detail&id=1340 This is a downloadable chm version only and is not affiliated with the original version. It is not the version at www.nwnlexicon.com either. Here is the vault description.

This is an *UNOFFICIAL* update to the Lexicon chm file. Please note that we have ZERO affiliation with the NWN Lexicon Group. The previous version from November 2004 contained content through 1.64. This update includes content through 1.68.

As we do not have access to the official website for the Lexicon, this update is to the downloadable chm help file only.

Summary of Major Changes.
There is a change log included that gives a specific accounting of all changes that the team has made.
- Added in Bioware documentation on the functions released in updates since the last Lexicon version.
- Updated the functions pages that had additional parameters added to them since the last Lexicon version.
- Edited the constants pages and added in a column with the integer value.
- Added pages for new constants added since the last Lexicon version.
- Added missing screenshots to VFX constants pages.
- Began an update of the #include pages. This task is FAR from complete.
- Added a favorites tab that you can edit yourself and keep your favorite files for easy access.

We did not make any bug fixes.

Problems with the Index Tab.
The original Lexicon had a populated index tab, however, due to extraction problems and chm file types being a general pain in the patookus to work with, this version *does not*. We are looking for help fixing this issue in a future release. If anyone out there in the community knows of an efficient (aka FAST) way to add them or is willing to manually enter over 2000 files one by one, please contact us.

Yes, we do plan on including the 1.69 material in a future version provided the force is with us. If anyone would like to assist in this task, please let us know. There is much to be done.

If anyone has any familiarity with constructing and maintaining chm files, your experience and wisdom would be appreciated.

Kudos definitely goes to the original Lexicon team. The last "official" version of the Lexicon can be found here Link

To report any problems you encounter with this update, please contact us by posting to the forum link provided above. That is the best way to contact the team.

All that being said, enjoy this update to one of the Vault's most valuable tools.

EDIT:  added the actual link.
