the hak pack i just downloaded doesn't have a file by that name inside it. am i supposed to be looking elsewhere than the ravenloft hakpack on the downloads page?
Couple ways to extract a single 2da file from a hak pack. The easiest way, that doesn't require any additional downloads off the vault is to go to your NWN folder, and find the utils subfolder.
In that subfolder, you will see a program called nwhak. Open it.
In that program go to File> Open and locate the Rl_2da_195b.hak.
you will see a list of files populate in the box below. Find and hilight soundset.2da and right click>Export.
Export to Overrides folder.
That -should- do it. I may be missing a step.
