Basic steps to get onto the server:- purchase and install nwn:EE from
steam- install CEP from
steam workshop / or select Steam/Community/Workshop and search for: Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition then for CEP
TIP: Also search for Cagui - for colored icons ... nice add-on!!
NOTE: Subscribe means install and is a download;-)
ATTENTION!
Steam Workshop "subscribings/installs/downloads" from CEP are placed in:
<steam-install-place>\steamapps\workshop\content\704450\1312882397
So if stuff is not working .... this is the Solution:
Modify nwn.ini - In C:\Users\<youre-computerloginname>\Documents\Neverwinter Nights\nwn.ini
change under [Alias] the HAK and TLK references to the right place!
So text next to HAK it should say: <steam-install-place-C:\games-orsomething>\steamapps\workshop\content\704450\1312882397\hak
And for the TALK files it should be: <steam-install-place-C:\games-orsomething>\steamapps\workshop\content\704450\1312882397\tlk- launch the game and join multiplayer server (for easy finding, add a filter for servers running 'lotr' module, then select the GvM server)
- if you are requested to pick a name, you can choose any name you want, but it would be convenient to stick with the name you used in the past on the old server.
[2021 February 25 - NEW MOD UPDATE !!]New mod up and running ...
from now on you MUST use the extra hak-file to enter the server!
See topic: PLEASE READ : Upcoming Update with Hak Download
http://www.gondorvsmordor.com/gvm2/forum/index.php?topic=3423.0Summary:
Download:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C9rbRAkpH_CVkWSX08qtAYq_Syjnp9wf/view?usp=sharingPlace the file in the hak folder of your NWN installation. It seems that depending on how you've installed NWN and possibly CEP (e.g Steam/Steam Workshop install vs regular install) the location of where the hak file needs to go can vary. But I'm hoping that it will just be:
C:\Users\[YourUserName]\Documents\Neverwinter Nights\hak
If not and you play via steam it might need to go into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\704450\1312882397\hak
You will not be able to enter the server without this hak file !!!!!
