Can't find certain campaign items in the toolset.
« on: August 23, 2010, 03:51:48 am »


               I wanted to made an edited version of the "Robe of Leathers".  However, I cannot find the item anywhere using the toolset. 

Ever more puzzling, I tried to open chapter 3 of Hordes of the Underdark using the toolset... only to discover that I couldn't find that part of the module anywhere! 

My primary question is "how can I get a copy of the Robe of Leathers into my own module so that I can edit it?"

My ancillary question is "where the *&#@% does the game store chapter 3 from HotU??"  That's really just curiousity, since, if you can answer the first question, I don't need an answer to this one.

Thanks,
Dan

               Ok the Robes of Leathers are a custom item in HOU so you will have to open that module in the toolset to get the item to edit.



They are OC so are not kept in the modules folder.  the OC games are in the nwm folder.  



Your best bet if running windows is the right click on the chapter you are wanting to open ans select the 'open with option'   select the toolset to open the file with.  



Then just export the item you want to an erf so you can then import it into the module you want to edit it in.

               Thank you for that clear, helpful, and exceedingly prompt reply.  



The "Open with..." option wasn't actually offered (which wasn't a surprise), so I just dragged the .nwm file onto nwtoolset.exe and away I went.  Everything else went quite smoothly, much to my surprise and I've already accomplished my goal... what, less than two hours later?  Amazing!



Thanks again,

Dan
