Question about hak files with NWN1

               Thanks for the heads up and the links! It is greatly appreciated! With CTP and CMP, would they  have any bearing on the OC?

No neither one will affect the OC in anyway. HAKs only modify the content of a module to which they are attached.

Question about hak files with NWN1

               I am trying to d/l the Project Q files, but when I go to d/l them, I get a screen of letters and odd fonts, and there I am stuck. That aside, do I have to d/l files all together or go at it one by one?

               When clicking on the link, right click and select "save file as" or something similar.

               Normal

Ok I d/l the  ProjectQ files and
transferred the files to their proper folder under the NWN main folder on my
hard drive after converting the files from .7z to the actual ending. I just
hope I did it correctly! Question – with Project Q enhancement, what changes in the game? Do enemies get stronger, or are there any plot changes, or the graphics being changed?

folder under the NWN main folder on my hard drive., after changing the files from 7z to the actual given title. just hope I did it
correctly! I guess we will see.  I see on a screen a list of files, along with the required hakpak - the top three are the main OC "with PQ", and the two expansion packs (their name "with PQ", and then three more, which looks to me like the main game without Project Q. Do I need to download all six, or just the three that include Project Q.

               I would download the top three, those that are "WithQ", and install those. Then... play!

have fun.

7z is an archive format. You need to extract the files within the 7z file to the proper directories.

Project Q v1.5 - HAKs goes in the \\HAK directory.
Project Q v1.5 - TLK File goes in the \\TLK directory.
Project Q v1.5 - Ambient goes in the \\AMBIENT directory.

This will give you the latest version of Project Q - which works with the upgraded modules by Mask. The files on the Vault Listing are the modified campaigns - which say "WithQ". The others - that say "Archive" - are backups of the original files. 

Eventually, if you decide to get into building you will probably want to grab the Project Q v1.5 ERF package, but it is NOT required to play the campaigns you have downloaded.

               another cool thing you can do to enhance the oc probably (not sure if it works with it) is to use the prc stuff (lots of race and class enhancement, should follow 3.5 rules instead of 3.0 for vanilla nwn)

               I tried the game out last night, and it seems to work fine! Thanks to everyone who helped me out with all this, and who put up with all my questions (haha). What is PRC?

               Are there any ill effects to my computer if I d/l PRC? Is it recommended?

PRC is a HAK set - so, no there won't be any ill effects regarding your computer. However, the PRC is quite large and can be somewhat troublesome to work with IF you don't read the instructions carefully. On older systems it will increase load time for modules, as the PRC is very large. However, many feel the increased load time is a fair trade-off for the enhancements to the game.

               I hate to bring a damper on this success parade, but I was playing NWN last night, working through the Prelude and about half way through, my game crashed. I went back to my desktop and rebooted the game. Luckily I had saved my game when I started, so I didn't lose anything. My screen prompted me that a problem was found...? I loaded my saved game, made it to Aribeth, but I had work today so I had to shut down my computer and go t bed. Now, I followed all the game d/l instructions to the point. I don't know if I did something wrong or what. Any thoughts?
