Installing a module (Shargast).
« on: September 15, 2015, 11:14:56 am »


               

I'm embarrassed to say this, but I need advice about how to install this module. I installed it a long time ago and forgot how. Now I had to reinstall OS and all of my games. Apparently, I can not find clear instructions on how to install this module. The module is on the new Vault, it's mentioned a README file with instructions on installing in its description, but there are no README file in the downloaded package.


Consequently, I do not know how to properly (re)install this module. I want to install it in the single-player mode, without network.



There is a guide in a pdf format about Shargast, but the instructions are unclear and too general.

 


Thanks in advance for any help.

I have downloaded from: http://neverwinterva...1/modules/5384/


Our vault entry (http://neverwinterva...downloadable-pw) seems to be lacking some files, but I will have that fixed.


 


http://neverwinterva...EP_Handbook.pdf


Handbook suggests some scripts, but I found only .mod files that go to "modules" folder.


 


Other files: http://www.neverwint...ers.htm#install


(In case you will ever need it with some other module)


 


How to play? If single than it is simply to load the game, click new, then "other modules" pick the shargast and start with new/premade char.


Multi - not my area of expertise.

Thank you.


I know how to install a module in general. But this specific module requires some additional steps and that's my problem.


I've read the handbook and what is written there is very vague, at least for me. For example, it seems necessary to edit the .mod file in the toolset, but I fail to realize if I understood correctly or not. Also it's showed a file, nwnx_leto (not nwnx_leto.dll), but I cannot find this file in the Leto package.


In the description on the Vault, it is mentioned a README file, but it does not exist in the .7z archive. I've downloaded from here: http://neverwinterva...ownloadable-pw.

Why do you need to edit the mod file? Are you getting an error message of some kind?

               No, but in the handbook this it's apparently required. Hence my confusion, I don't know how I'm supposed to install the mod.
