Where to put your cep files.

[IronRook]

steam version : ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Option 1:


"If you will be playing NWN:EE only through the Steam client:

Just subscribe to the CEP in the Steam Workshop. Start NWN:EE so that the files
start to download. Once downloaded, you can play modules and servers made
with the CEP. Be patient, it's a 6 GB download and Steam Workshop doesn't give
you a progress indicator.

Note: If you unsubscribe from the workshop version of the CEP, it get's deleted
from your hard drive. This is not recommended if you ever plan on building your
own modules that use the CEP." written by The Amethyst Dragon


Option 2 :

Download from here https://neverwintervault.org/cep

The (hak) and (tlk) files go in a different place now .

C:\ Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Neverwinter Nights

put your (hak) files in the (hk) folder and create a (tlk) folder


amb
dmv
hk
lcv
mod
mov
mus
nwm
scr
txpk



beamdog version : ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Download from here https://neverwintervault.org/cep

(hak) and (tlk) go in Documents\Neverwinter Nights\




Please make any suggestions if I'm wrong.

The CEP files need to go into their corresponding folders under your Documents inside the Neverwinter folder. (C:\~\Users\Documents\Neverwinter Nights)

There you'll find the hak, tlk, ambient, erf (may need to create an ERF folder), etc.

Those under steamapps/common are the game files and not user/custom files. (And will be overwritten when there's an update on Steam, if I'm not mistaken)

P.S. There is a way to change the paths that the game picks up the custom fIles from however, which I'll share a link to more info when I can.

If you will be playing NWN:EE, but not through the Steam client:

Download the CEP from the Neverwinter Vault - http://neverwintervault.org/cep. Decompress the contents of the folders inside to the matching folders in your Documents/Neverwinter Nights folder. If a folder doesn't exist yet, just create it.

Note: If you get the files this second way, they will also be used by the Steam version of NWN:EE. Probably the best method of getting it, to save 6GB of hard drive space and 5 GB of data usage.

This. You shouldn't be putting stuff in the installation folder anymore - Beamdog's premise was to separate game and mod files.

ok i downloaded CEP and I see it when launching the game as an optional module to play. BUUUT, my documents/NWN/ folder is only 88MB and the files are not there. they are also not in the steamapps installation folder. where are these files hiding? help!

Interesting - that could explain a bug others have talked about - with the dedicated server client not seeing workshop content.

And might be related to mods disappearing while in Steam offline mode?

So, i want to make my own world, just as i did in the old days. I subbed to CEP. I also downloaded from the vault. I placed all the TLK and HAK files in the folders mentioned, yet it keeps on telling me i am missing the core CEP files. Where have i gone wrong with this?
