Project Q v1.4 Releasing Tommorrow on the Vault!

               Hmmm how long is the erf utility sposed to run for?  It says it's been packing armoury for quite a while here....

               A few of the haks are really large, so it will occasionally slow down as it starts using page files to store some data whilst packing. Armoury and race are the two that might take quite a while, but they should pack given time.

It's a good idea not to be running anything particularly resource intensive (like Max or Visual Studio or something) at the same time.

               no such luck, I'll try again tonight when I go to bed, see if it packs overnight, was no feedback in the erf pack window at all, so wasn't sure what it was doing.

One questions: I ask six, if there is his clothes from the Custom Content Challenge and he "say yes" I think, correct me if I'm wrong, but that don't listen in the text in the first post!

               Well the erf packer doesn't seem to be liking me. Analyzing it, says it's running 3 threads, and using 0 cpu time.

I'm running win 7 64 bit professional.

It fetched files fine, but soon as erf ran to pack the files, it just hangs on a black screen window.



EDIT:  And unpack to a new directory and it suddenly works, thanks anyhow!

               I downloaded project Q today. It's really great, especially that the undercity tileset has got more tiles now!

I'm getting a few white meshes.
Is the texture qp_crate_02 missing?
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Pstemarie]

               Zwerk, just verfied that qp_Crate_02 is present. Could you please post this issue in the 1.4 Support Thread in the Project Q forums, with as much info as possible - specifically the models you are having issues with...

               I looked at the haks and saw that it wasn't only that file that was missing, but all the files from the previous version of project q. They were however all in the subdirectories of the 'q' directory.
This is not a problem with Q but with Vista's authorization system (which in my opinion is completely fubar). I didn't have access to any of those files, only to the newer ones. Even when running a program as administrator and trying to open those files, it says I have no permission to open them.
So I changed the permissions of the whole q directory and applied the changes to all its subfolders and that finally did the trick. After running q-pack.bat, all the files where in the proper haks.

If this had been a problem with q, I would have posted it in the 1.4 Support Thread as you suggested, Pstemarie, but it really only was a problem with Vista.

               Zwerk - I'm going to copy this post over to the Q Support Thread anyway. If anyone else is experiencing this issue, the answer will be easier to find over there.

               Looking forward to the hak download myself, as the updater thinks it isn't in my NWN install folder along with nwmain.exe even though it totally is.  It looks like a great new release and I will enjoy messing around with it as soon as I get my hands on it.  :-)

               Just sending some feedback...

It was worth the wait. Realy great stuff, Im in love with almost everything you guys have done. Congratulations:) The tileset additions are superb, placeables are top notch. Creatures like the harpye, the skeletons and the soldiers are lovely.

Thats for now;)

p.s. damn the skyboxes rocks too

 I had found that the way the .bat file was written, that the installer had to be in a sub-directory to work properly.

IF NOT EXIST ..nwmain.exe GOTO NONWN

that line in the .bat seems to need to have the ".." removed in order to actually run in the main nwn directory.

No, it doesn't.  It is designed to run from the \\NeverwinterNights\\NWN\\Q_Updater  sub folder.  Which you are supposed to create, then extract the qupdate files inside of that folder.

THe reason is that they wanted to keep the "Q" files, in a separate folder to help keep the main nwn folder cleaner.

In otherwords, it works exactly as it was designed to work.

               Yes, great stuff. Much to play with here.

The new waypoints are handy while building. I like that they are round because it strongly differentiates them from the triangular WPs.

I haven't been able to check out lisa holdables yet. I'll let you now what I think of their integration when I can. I distinctly recall that they were one of the things I asked for when I first showed up on your forum.

That revenant is nice. So is Tom Banjo's roman temple. I asked him on the vault if he was going to merge that with the TNO because it fits with it. It also fits well with six's TNOizification of the city tileset btw.

I like discovering all these surprises you've so generously shared with us. I look forward to stumbling upon more as I keep building this week. Thanks.
