Greetings and HALP!
« on: May 28, 2013, 12:45:40 PM »
Hello there. So I decided to randomly dig out a couple of my old cRPGs, and I stumbled upon the vast reservoir of user-generated content, the existence of which being quite a revelation to me, sadly enough. Needless to say I am terribly late to the party, but I did a lot of searches and it seemed like this was one of the best servers that is (1) still active (2) roleplay-focused and (3) nicely customized/modded. I have had a couple years of roleplay experience now, including acting as a GM and lorekeeper for a community on another medium. Introductions aside, I've had a bit of trouble connecting the server; I have the Diamond Edition and I tried installing the CEP thing along with the custom module for this gameworld, but after character creation I get a message that I'm missing a "ravenloft_1_95.tlk" talk table, which doesn't seem to exist in the downloads so I'm not sure how it's missing. Anyone have any suggestions? Also, am I in the right place here?

It's included in the download. Make sure that you did not extract it to your hak folder by accident. You need to make a folder in your NWN installation labeled "tlk" and put the custom .tlk file in there.

Right, thanks for the prompt response. And just to clarify, we're talking about a second .tlk called "ravenloft_1_95" here, correct? There's already one in my tlk folder simply called "ravenloft", so there should be two? I'll see if I can find another one, but I could have sworn there was only one in the archive I downloaded...

Make sure you're downloading the newest release here: http://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=33284.0

We haven't updated our page on NWVault yet, so they still have our older material.

Ah, my mistake. Hopefully this will solve it; I was DL'ing the version in a post on this forum called something like "How to get started for noobies", but I guess that might not include the updated version. Thanks again.

So thankfully that resolved my issue and I was able to log in for a bit today. Now I'll just have to scour these forums for information on how to get involved.

Thanks guys. Still getting used to the interface and reacquainted with the gameplay and what not, but I've enjoyed it so far.
