Stupid nwn2
« on: August 29, 2008, 02:02:03 AM »
Just decided to play some nwn 2 and so I updated and in doing so it corrupted all my nwn 2 files apparently. Cause I can't play the single player campaign at all. It says "Module file corrupt or was made with a newer version of the toolset." :(
Elessar: why is the shit coming from his head?
Anheg: cause its japanese?

Now try to right-click on an .exe file in explorer and see if that crashes windows.

Excuse me for asking, but why install in the first place?

Excuse me for asking, but why install in the first place?

Because it's actually a very good game when its working.  I'm playing Mask of the Betrayer now and I'll say that the single player storylines in these games are just about at BG2 quality.

Storm of Zehir will be out next month and it's looking to be a top notch expansion.  They are adding full party creation, so you can create up to 4 characters for the game.  You'll still be able to take NPCs along with you for a party of 6 total.  Each party member can be part of conversations so you aren't limited to the main character doing all the talking and using only his skills.

Also they have replaced the world map with an "overland" map.  Basically transforming the game into a persistent world where you have to walk to each destination.  Skills will play a role in the overland map, high spot will get you into hidden dungeons and so on.  Rangers will be quite useful here.

Sounds pretty exciting!  Lots of good rpgs coming out.

I am quite upset now :(. I can not play SoZ because I do not own MotB. Well, I can sort of play it. I can load into the beginning of the SP Campaign and all, but I can't see the text of anything. No conversations, no names, nothing. So I can not perform a simple quest convo task lol. I thought it might be because of Haks or TLK problems, but nope. I am assuming it's because I don't have the second expansion. Guess I will buy it now...

Hmm well,  I'd get MoTB in any case if I were you because it's very good.  Otherwise, I'd backup your NWN2 directory, then reinstall it, could very well be the extra stuff you've loaded in there.

Did you check the forums for a problem like yours?

Yeah, there wasn't one. Someone posted for me though in my topic, and said it could be the .tlk's and stuff. But I deleted them all, hell I just reinstalled nwn2 not all that long ago.

I had two separate nwn2 folders. One from the beta that I forgot to delete and the game was loading through that one instead of the one with the expansions and stuff. So I could load the expansion because of the disc, but couldn't see shit because it had none of the files or updated stuff lol.

So not "Stupid nwn2" but rather, "Stupid mercyx2?"

I just reinstalled NWN2 (no expansions) and ran the auto updater.

First thing it did was update the auto-patcher, no problem, that's pretty standard. Then it downloads update nwn2_pc_english_from100788_to105912.txt and that's fine. Then it downloads updates every single incremental fucking patch one by one, (100788_to105912, 105912_to106972.zip, 106972_to106973.zip, etc.)

What in the fuck kinda newbie fucktards do they have working at Obsidian. After 100 patches they are honestly thinking people will sit through this bullshit when they install NWN2 right out of the box?

Jesus Christ I can't believe this company is still in business.

Yeah, I had to suffer through that the last time I installed NWN2....didn't find it worth it, especially since my compy didn't run the game very well.

"didn't" Does it now or is it still the same? Might be time for an upgrade! If everything goes as planned for GS2 this time around... there's simply no way I can't be there! I'm simply irreplaceable.

Oh you're using someone else's compy? That sucks. Hopefully they know what to get you then!

Good computers are so cheap now.  You should be able to easily afford something that will last for years.  Video card should be the most expensive single piece.  Chose one wisely.

That's why I said hopefully they'll know what to get, unless they let you pick it out... you're stuck with their judgement.

What is really annoying is that I cant figure out how to pull up the task list in NWN2. Like I thought it just didnt exist because I looked in the hotkeys and there wasnt one, but while I was playing my fingers slipped and I somehow opened it. Does anyone know how?

Like I cant force chests and doors with strength because I see no attack command, I only have the icon that appears over enemys. I have to keep a rogue in my party because I cant just attack locked things but I see familiars doing it and I can hit stuff with flamestrike to destroy them.

What do you mean by "task list"?

Obsidian made a big deal out of their "context sensitive" menus but all it did was limit your ability to interact with your surroundings.

Like a...master list of things you can do. Like just simple commands like Attack and Talk. Sometimes my NPCs move on their own and break down a door with their weapons. I can not figure out how to make my player character do that.

Hmm. Right click on the door, you'll see "bash".

Right clicking does not do anything. The only thing that happens is a pic of whatever I clicked on appears in the upper middle of the screen.
