[CEP] How to get the latest content on our server
« on: July 21, 2010, 10:19:40 am »


               We are running a CEP 2.3 server. How do I make it so that the latest material is avaliable on the server?

The module and server has several times been updated of course but now I hear there is even some more material.

I guess this is a question that pertains to all kinds of HAK material you have on a server.

The specific thing about CEP is that I think I have all the HAK references on the module already.

So my question is....do I have to do a build on the module....or is it enough to just run the CEP updater on my computer and on the server...(?).

               You should just be able to run the CEP updater on both machines.  If you have NWN installed in the default directory, it should be able to just auto-install the new content.



The new material should be available to you in the toolset the next time you start the software.  For creatures/placeables/items, just edit or start a new object and pick the desired appearance.

               There are so many myth around CEP. Recently I discovered that some player believe that Bioware made CEP... Same with building module, thats useless button (except scripts) and you will with CEP2 spend your whole life till its done... Whatever that updater is, it will probably dowload the new content in 2.3 version (really you need more?) and allow you to see it in module (if it has blueprints of course). You won't get any more content by building the module.

               If there are new blueprints, you will need to refresh the palette of the appropriate catagory, i.e. creatures, refresh creature palette.



There are some updates pending with some major amount of material, such as clothing with over 14,000 models added and ridable griffins, some other materials.   These will be in when they get there.  The new tilesets Chico400 delivered are being merged in - all his tilesets with the exception of the SF tilesets and those we have plans on adding as well.



So yes lots of things are coming but all i can say is soon, since this and that have delayed the updates, such as Acaos's motherboard and ram frying, and other little annoyances like that.  The material IS coming soon.



ROAR - the crafting system i posted is shaping up but not ready for release yet, perhaps by end of August.

               I have my server on a online host server so can I  update my game and just upload a couple (necessary) files to overwrite certain files on the server?
