 ====== Using NWN Diamond ======
-**Any version of NWN1 obtained after 2003 (Hordes of the Underdark) can be made compatible with Sinfar** but you will have to apply multiple patches and then you will hardly know if you done things right. So it is recommended that you proceed with the [[#starting_from_scratch_recommended|Starting from Scratch]]  steps, even if you have an installation that appears to be working.
+**Playing on Sinfar requires NWN including both its expansions, Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark.** Today, these come bundled in NWN Diamond Edition available in CD Format from Amazon or Ebay or if you purchase a copy of NWN Enhanced Edition from GOG.com (the latter is highly recommended in this case).

-===== Starting from Scratch (Recommended)  =====
+===== Getting the Sinfar Launcher =====
+Once the game is installed and working normally, you have to download the following files for Sinfar to work properly:
-==== Create an Empty Folder ====
+  * SinfarX: [[:getting_started:sinfarx]]
-This is where you will extract all the installation files. \\ NWN Diamond installation is portable so you can put it anywhere, even on a USB key.
+  * Sinfar .haks/.tlk and override files: [[:getting_started:haks]]
-In this case I will use "C:\MyGames\Clean_NWN_Install": \\ {{:getting_started:how_to_play:using_nwn_diamond_20190402-131511.png?400}}
-==== Copy Your nwncdkey.ini File ====
-The only file that matters from your previous installation is this nwncdkey.ini file. You can Find it at one of the following locations:
-  * **At the root of your previous NWN installation:** \\ {{:getting_started:how_to_play:using_nwn_diamond_20190402-131756.png?200}} \\
-  * **From your GoG library:** \\ {{:getting_started:how_to_play:using_nwn_diamond_20190402-133402.png?300}} \\ In this case, you will have to create a new text file (using notepad for example) and add the following: <code>[CDKEY]
-Key1=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
-Key2=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
-Key3=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX</code>Then replace the "XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX" by your keys, where: \\ Key1 = Neverwinter Nights Key \\ Key2 = Shadows of Undrentide Key \\ Key3 = Hordes of the Underdark Key
-==== Download the Required Game Data Files ====
-You will need the base game data files: [[https://sinfar.net/files/NWNDiamondData.exe|NWNDiamondData.exe]]\\
-and Sinfar .hak files: [[http://sinfar.net/haks/sinfar_all_files_v27.exe|sinfar_all_files_v27.exe]]\\
-\\
-{{:getting_started:how_to_play:using_nwn_diamond_20190402-140200.png?400}}
-==== Extract the Files ====
-Both NWNDiamondData.exe and sinfar_all_files_v27.exe are self-extracting archive, so you can extract with with 7-zip or run them, starting with NWNDiamondData.exe:\\
-  - If you are on Windows 10 with the security activated, you will get the following windows \\ {{:getting_started:how_to_play:using_nwn_diamond_20190402-140559.png?300}} {{:getting_started:how_to_play:using_nwn_diamond_20190402-140727.png?300}}\\
-  - If needed, enter or select your installation folder: \\ {{:getting_started:how_to_play:using_nwn_diamond_20190402-141225.png?300}}
-  - Click Extract and wait that it be done before proceeded with sinfar_all_files_v27.exe the same way. \\ {{:getting_started:how_to_play:using_nwn_diamond_20190402-141745.png?300}}
-  - It may ask you to replace existing files, click "Yes to All":\\{{:getting_started:how_to_play:using_nwn_diamond_20190402-142222.png?300}}
-  - Once NWNDiamondData.exe and sinfar_all_files_v27.exe have been extracted, you can delete them (but you may want to wait to see if your installation works first).
 ==== Start Playing! ====
+To launch the game, you need to run sinfarx.exe: \\ {{:getting_started:how_to_play:using_nwn_diamond_20190402-142958.png?600}} \\
