====== Using NWN:EE ====== | ====== Using NWN:EE ====== | ||
- | ===== Enable the “oldstable” version of NWN:EE ===== | + | ===== Sinfar currently uses an older version of NWN:EE (81.8193.16) ===== |
- | {{https://sinfar.net/images/steam_game_properties.png?300}} | + | You can download the win32 client of that specific build here: https://nwn.sinfar.net/files/sinfarx/8181/win32_8181.zip |
- | {{https://sinfar.net/images/steam_oldstable.png?500}}\\ | + | |
- | ***After doing that: go in your steam games folder (i.e.: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common) and copy the "Neverwinter Nights" folder somewhere else… or steam will automatically update it and you wont be able to play on Sinfar anymore*** | + | The latest update of EE broke character creation on Sinfar. You can revert to older versions<del> or get someone else to make a character for you</del>. |
- | ===== Get SinfarX ===== | + | |
- | Download it: [[https://nwn.sinfar.net/files/sinfarx_ee.exe|sinfarx_ee.exe]]\\ | + | Unfortunately, it seems that transferring a character to a non-existing account is not possible. If you've previously successfully logged in (such as on a Diamond client), getting someone to transfer a character to you should be no problem, but for completely new players, look to the bottom. |
- | and put it in your win32 folder, next to nwmain.exe. For example: C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Neverwinter Nights\bin\win32 | + | |
+ | Extract this archive in your Neverwinter Night installation's **bin** folder, next to your win32 folder, for example: C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Neverwinter Nights\bin and it will create the folder: C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Neverwinter Nights\bin\win32_8181 | ||

+ | As you can see, it includes SinfarX so to launch the game, run sinfarx_ee.exe | ||
+ | |||
+ | Getting necessary override: Due to changes to EE models, users of the client can't load into Sinfar and need [[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iPc5Tds0MgChUq1BtbhUU9Ut6B5upOk_/view?usp=sharing|a few override files]]. These should be put into the __ovr__ folder of the win32_8181 folder from the SinfarxEE download above: | ||

+ | ===== For completely new players ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sinfar is a Diamond Edition server natively, meaning that there can be some issues with playing with the Enhanced Edition of NWN. Currently, making a new character with EE is simply not possible and you'll crash before you can finish. Instead, it's recommended to make your characters by installing NWN Diamond Edition. | ||
+ | After character creation, you can safely go back to using EE to play. (Note: Some high-level dungeons has a lot of visual effects that can cause a lot of crashes on EE, so anyone wishing to participate in those is recommended to use Diamond as well.) | ||
+ | |||
+ | You'll still need to install the haks (below), but you don't need two copies of those - in the nwn.ini you can specify a path for each version to look for haks under [Alias] at the top (for EE, nwn.ini is located in your documents/Neverwinter Nights and for Diamond, it's located in the game's install directory). | ||
+ | You need to specify a path, for example: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * HAK=C:\Games\NWN Diamond\hak (this looks in the specified folder) | ||
+ | * HAK=.\hak (this looks in the root/install folder) | ||
===== Get the Haks ===== | ===== Get the Haks ===== | ||
- | The easiest way is to subscribe to the [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1356236425|workshop]].\\ | + | You can download the haks manually: [[https://sinfar.net/haks/sinfar_all_files_v30.7z|sinfar_all_files_v30.7z]] and extract them in your "C:\Users\username\Documents\Neverwinter Nights" folder.\\ |
- | Alternatively and for non-steam users, you can download them manually: [[http://sinfar.net/haks/sinfar_all_files_v27.exe|sinfar_all_files_v27.exe]]\\ | + | |
- | And extract them in your "C:\Users\username\Documents\Neverwinter Nights" folder.\\ | + | |
