Custom Appearances Easy?

[DM Echo]

http://bgtscc.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=47647

If you haven't checked out the Custom Appearance thread, I encourage you to do so and please let me know if the guides there help to make your own custom armor/weapon appearances easier, or if I should clean it up a bit and make it clearer. If everyone for the most part seems to understand the guide and it is able to help them, then I will go by the motto of, "If it isn't broke, don't fix it." However, if the guides aren't very helpful or there are some things that still need clearing up, I will be happy to make a new video guide and clean up the post a bit to make it simpler. Please let me know what you think in the poll!

Also, if something isn't clear to you, let me know below and I will try to address it specifically.

I'm sure it is because I am mostly incompetent when it comes to all things technical but I seem to fail right from the start at trying to select a module. Apparently I don't have a module with any .hak files in it? I'm still searching to try and figure out where to get said .haks and how to put them into the/a module in order to get started with this. I've no idea if anyone else might have this problem as well.

I've had similar problems.. especially when I had the game installed in 3 different locations..

Check:
This PC>Local DisK (C:)>Users>(Name)>Documents>Neverwinter Nights 2

This PC>Local Disk (C:)>Program Files (x86)>Atari

And then check any other drives you might have if that doesn't work.

It does look like we need a new link to the files...

I will work on this in a little while.

Thanks for that, DM Echo. I do believe I have found the .hak files. I will now watch the video and see if I can muddle my way through. Whatever the result, I'm certain any problems will be due to my incomprehension and not your video and instructions.

EDIT - So I went through and was able to craft an item from beginning to end following your video. It was very smooth and easy. The only thing I couldn't figure out how to do was how to rotate the character model while creating the item. I could zoom and move it around but I could not get it to turn so I could see the sides or back of the armor. I'm sure it is probably so basic that it didn't warrant mention but I am technically challenged.

[DM Echo]

IIRC you rotate the model by holding middle click.

You need to hold shift or ctrl in combination with one of the mouse buttons.

Oh thank GOD someone asked this question. Because I have had no idea.

I don't remember myself it is more a muscle memory thing at this point.
