Toolset Issue NEED HELP!

Unread post by Silver_Lining »

The main "Menu" bar that lets you open/open directory, make new ares/modules etc is missing from my toolbar and I can't find anything for Windows 10 on how to get it back. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Have tried:
Deleting Toolset files
Creating a new NWN2 folder
Opening various modules
Moving existing/remaining toolbars.

With your toolset active (click on it), try hitting ALT+V then ALT+O in case the menu is still somewhere (just not accessible or visible). If that works it should bring you to Options. Select windows from the listing (left side) then hit reset at the bottom and restart your toolset.

What's your resolution? Try changing that? There's been some mentions on the forum about resolution having such impact.

This was also posted on the forums but I'd only try that if there's someone more tech savvy to say what does that actually do and what might be the option for windows 10. I doubt that command affects only toolset.

The resolution might be the cause but supposedly only if your resolution is too small (such as smaller laptop) and simply can't show that bar.

Oh and the menu bar has existed before?

If (the reset method we tried) this doesn't correct the issue, or if your menu bar is gone, close the toolset. Open up Windows Explorer, and paste this text into the Address bar:

Windows XP: %USERPROFILE%\\Local Settings\\Application Data
Windows Vista: %USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\Local

Hit Enter. From there, delete the folder named NWN2 Toolset. That will reset everything for when you next launch the toolset

I know it says windows vista on the url but just follow the images.

And then you go to your localdisk/users/youruser/appdata/local and there you will find the nwn2 toolset folder that you need to delete

have fun
This should fix it.

From the picture it only appears to be missing the menu bar. Did you try to right click the top tool bar area and click show menu bar?

No right-click menu appears doing that. I tried when trying to figure it out myself.

What happens if you have the toolset open and press F10? For me, that automatically selects the file tab up top. Try pressing F10 then up or down arrow key maybe? (if above failed)
