To modify an *.ini file, simply open that file in a text editor, like Notepad, and edit as you please. They are simply text files.
Lets start with file nwn.ini:
Running NWN in a window
Two useful things to do here. The first is probably known by most, if not all here. Running NWN in a window. I probably don't need to repeat this, but I'll put it in just in case.
Under [Display Options] add the following line:
AllowWindowedMode=1
And then change the line FullScreen=1 to FullScreen=0
If your game resolution is less than your desktop resolution, it should display NWN in a window. Very useful for multitasking.
Disabling all NWN intro Movies
The other useful thing, which is much less known, is disabling all of the NWN intro movies. This way, you don't have to click seven times every time NWN starts up in order to get to the Main Menu.
This is also under [Display Options], add the following line:
Disable Intro Movies=1
And that's it! Save that ini file, and you're done!
Conversation Color Changes
The other ini file to modify is nwplayer.ini:
Here is where things get fun. One thing that bugged me about NWN from the beginning were the chat colors. The whisper chat color is barely viewable, and the party chat color looks exactly the same as the regular chat color. Why can't we have the whisper chat color be more viewable, and party chat a different color than regular Talk chat? Well, we can.
In nwplayer.ini, at the very top, add this line:
[Chat Colors]
And underneath it, if you want to change the party chat color, do this:
PartyColor=R,G,B
Where R, G, and B are numbers. For me, party chat is aqua, and uses the following line:
PartyColor=0,255,255
For whisper chat, you do something similar:
WhisperColor=R,G,B
I use a DarkRed color for whisper chat, that shows up very nicely:
WhisperColor=139,0,0
Save that file, and be done with it! Now, if you load up NWN using all those settings, NWN will run in a window, with no intro movies, aqua party chat, and dark red whisper chat.
You can get more color codes from here.

How to log chat window only?
So you can share an RP event's words with friends here on the forum.
open your nwnplayer.ini file this is located in the NWN folder
edit this line:
ClientEntireChatWindowLogging=0
to:
ClientChatLogging=1
this logs all chat that you see. It will not save combat log or server message. the only thing is that you will have to go in after every session and save the log elsewhere or rename it at least.
Enjoy
