Re: lua to read DLG format files for the Bioware Aurora engine?

["Stuart P. Bentley" <stuart@...>]

Out of Google, that would be  
http://nwn.bioware.com/developers/Bioware_Aurora_Conversation_Format.pdf.

You'll also need to read http://nwn.bioware.com/developers/gff.html on  
BioWare's Generic File Format.

The only open C library for reading BioWare formats (as far as I can tell,  
[this  
one](http://social.bioware.com/forum/Neverwinter-Nights-2/NwN-2-Tools-and-Plugin-Developers/NWN2-Datafile-Accessor-Library-3116521-1.html)  
written in C++) doesn't mention DLG or GFF, so it looks like you'd have to  
write your own.
