| + | ===== 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]]\\ | + | |
