Only MDB file.

Unread post by Maximvs »

I can't find a proper tutorial regarding this. I download a bunch of placeable from the vault, but it contains no DDS files, only MDB files. Where do I go from there? Is there a way for me to open these MDB files in a software and create the required DDS files with them so I can make a full and working hakpak?

Does the vault have 2da wbrries in its description? It may use default textures ? But that still requires 2da edits if I remember correctly

They probably all reference existing NWN2 OC packages files.

Another thing, if they are Placeables, then they each need a line in the Placeables.2da file to associate the mdb file with its index list and other properties in the Toolset and IG.

You can use MDBCloner to open the mdb files. Then you can see what files are associated with it.

Last, maybe what you have are intended to Override OC content. Otherwise, without .2da entries, .dds or .tga skin files, the mdb's are useless.

ah damnit. Ok thanks. I was wondering if these MDB files also contained the required information to create the missing DDS files, and if so, what program to use. Suppose it's not possible. No matter. Thx for answering.
