The Community Patch Project is an effort by ShaDoOoW to supply the Neverwinter Nights community with updates and changes to the game's functionality now that BioWare has officially ended support. The project acts like a patch in that it modifies the core game data files (thanks to ElgarL BIFManager), rather than relying on overrides or hak paks. However, unlike a patch it does not affect connectivity in multiplayer — players with this project installed can connect to servers without it, and vice versa.
