Community Expansion Pack (CEP)

[philip]

It's out! Go to the vault for links to the downloads. It's slow though but well worth the download time [img]smile.gif[/img]


(EDITED BY ZIROC: You can download it at Ironworks too, scroll down to the bottom of the screen)

Yayyyyyyyyyyyy .

philip, for we ignorant types, a.k.a. me!, what will this mean for the NWN community who not only build modules, but play them as well? I have played some top notch modules by community members and if means even more improvement then by all means this is a great thing. Please explain what this provides and do those who simply play need to down load it?. Thanks!

It's a collection of high quality custom content. It was composed by the CEP team and the content itself is made by different community members, I think on the Bioware site there's more info on the team itself.

The idea was that a lot of different hakpaks with the same content in it is annoying, so the team made a selection of the best files and put them all in the hak. So module makers can add this in their modules instead of loose haks with of the same content. For players it means they only have to download the hak once and they can play all modules which requires it.

For you local IW folks, you can download the entire file here at IW:

Download Here - 122MB

Don't share this link with anyone, because if we see it posted out on the Internet, we'll be slammed, and I will have to remove it.

Let's ALL download it! My Mod, EfU will be using this HakPak SOON!

[TheCrimsomBlade]

I have high speed internet and it only took 2 Hr and 40 min to down load so every be patient, there must be alot of people tring to get this Hack pack at the same time.
So now that I have the "Z" pack I'm not going to load it into my game until You say your EfU Mod has it unless I can still play on the Mod before EfU Has it Please let me know or I'll ask This question in the forums where you will see it. Thank you very much.

[Ziroc]

Yeah, it'll be a few weeks MAYBE sooner, if I really get into it, and can't wait . I'll make the announcement the second it's added to EfU.

You can install it now, it'll just sit there and will only be used when it's needed, so go ahead and install it if ya want.

Totally sweet! The first thing I did when I got my PC out of the shop is dl this sucker ( took 5 minutes on cable from the vault). Wow, its totally free yet I feel like I should pay for such excellence.

I will have a special edition of the "novice to epic character maker module" up at the vault in a week or two (edit- well, on second thought... give me a month at least) that has this attached. It will include a new arena to face the new monsters and new merchants to buy the new weapons and other items.

The little I've seen of it looks impressive, but I'll check it out fully when I've downloaded it.

Anyway, I've got two questions:
1. Why are there several versions of it, newbie and pro?
2. It's not gonna mess up any modules that doesn't use it, right?

[philip]

Pro is for people who want to install it theirselves from what I gather. Also pro allows you to edit/add stuff or something like that, I read that on their site.

No it won't mess up modules that don't use it. It's just there in case the module needs it.
