How can you edit the Campaign modules?
My first interest is to add a new area to an existing chapter.

My guess is you will get a better response to this kind of question in a developer's forum such as the ones at Bioware or Neverwinter Vault. However, here is a general instruction (cribbed from this thread on Bioware's forum). I make no promises as to its accuracy:
Make a folder in your NWN Directory or wherever you want it and name it NWN OC Copies. Or name it whatever you want.

Now go to the nwn folder where the OC modules are stored and right click and choose copy on the OC module you want to copy. NOTE: You can choose them all if you wish.

Alright now go to the folder you created earlier and right click and choose paste. You should now have copies of the OC module or modules in that folder.

Now Right click on the OC Module you want to edit and choose properties. Uncheck the read only box. Rename the file to .mod instead of .nwm

Ok open the mod with the .mod extension in the toolset and modify however you want, when your through editing the module, be sure to BUILD your module. Once it's finished compiling everything, save the module and close the toolset.

Now go to your NWN folder where the OC modules are stored, Make a temporary folder inside the nwn folder and move the OC modules into that folder. This is so you won't overight the OC Modules.

Move the OC module you edited into the nwn folder and change the extension back from .mod to .nwn
To add an area, obviously, you would have to create the new area in the copied module and add an area transition to an existing location.

I don't know if its how i have my options set or something, but i had to move the files into the \modules subdirectory to get the toolset to find them.
