just a quick question is the cep still going to be the same holding these new 2das.In other words a player with cep2.1 will still be able to join and not need this new version?

Am i doing this in notepad?

Which cep file cep top 2.1?

Yes, players will need to download your PW's custom hak to play.  As long as its just modified 2das and info files, its should be relativly small in compatison to your other content required. You will also require a hak (it can be the same one even) to hold the other info required for surgical weapons and wounded body parts (mdls, textures, etc).

Yes, you can do this all in just notepad and the nwn hak tool.

That sounds like the the one, whatever CEP one is listed first in the Custom Content section of your Module Properties.

               CEP is up to 2.4 now, so its been a while since ive used 2.1.

Is there a reason other than the CCP you are not using 2.4 instead? You would be able to eliminate a few of your required haks as they are now included in 2.4. (all the Dragons from Dungeans and Dragons, and the CCP specificly) as well as being current and up to date. These has been a LOT of new content added since 2.1.

Requiring your players to rollback to 2.1 would be a hard sale I'd think...

               Im thinking of avoiding modifing the cep file but to create its own seperate hak.I mean do i have to edit the cep file?Cant i just make a new one and use that?im confused on which cep file as well to  open if i have to use that one.



2.4 should run 2.1

They do need the 2.1 tlk folder though.

I think theres alot of material i dont need in cep2.3 and 2.4

               correct, you extract files from the cep hak, and make your own. you do not want to modify the cep hak.

               just rename it from .txt to .2da
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Builder__Anthony]

               ok but keeping the same name on the file isnt that going to screw up the cep?I mean will a regular cep user still be able to get in?Im not suree how im going to wrap this up so people can get it.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Carcerian]

               You do not put the files in CEP. you place them in your own hak that your players then need to download. Be sure your new hak containing your 2da's is the first one listed in Module Propeties Custom Content. (ie at the top)
