Automatic Downloader Errors - HAK, TLK, TRX

Sometimes players experience problems with the automatic downloader (ADL) system.

Occasionally it is me messing up the server-side files. Those quickly come to light if the server is still empty 5 minutes after it is running and I can log in. This means I did not put a file where it needs to be. It will be quickly remedied.

Sometimes many players logging in after a big update will swamp the ADL system and either time-out or get extraction errors. Wait a few minutes and try again.

If the problem file is a "TLK" (often) or "HAK" (lesser so), you may need to restart your NWN2 before the problem will resolve itself allowing the ADL to do its thing.

If you try the above and are still locked out due to ADL problems, then post in this thread indicating what files are causing problems. Other players here are generally responsive to share files via Dropbox or similar.

Please do not create a new thread. Once your problem is resolved, your post(s) might be deleted. Nothing personal. Just trying to keep these forums more orderly for my own sanity.

Where to put files:
*.tlk --> MyDocs(moreorless)/Neverwinter Nights 2/tlk - if not present, create folder named "tlk"
*.hak --> MyDocs(moreorless)/Neverwinter Nights 2/hak - if not present, create folder named "tlk"
MyDocs(moreorless)/Neverwinter Nights 2 - this is the folder where your local NWN2 files are kept. You should see other folder, modules, music, localvault, etc. in this folder. Very important:

More technical stuff:
Hidden: show
Client-side area files are *.trx. They will go into your MyDocs(moreorless)/Neverwinter Nights 2/modules/Baldurs Gate TSCC folder. Files will be put into your music folder.

The ADL system does this using "LZMA" compressed files. If a download stalls you may find LZMA file(s) in the appropriate folder.

From the update tonight - I get stuck at bg_S1.tlk

I've restarted several times, just to be sure sure - but that file causes problems with the ADL every time.

Thanks!

Locke, click the link above.

Download.

Unzip.

Put the .tlk file into your TLK folder (/Documents/NWN2)

Put the .hak file into your HAK folder. (/Documents/NWN2)

Reconnect to server & download the rest.

Play.

Easy? ;)

If you're having troubles, follow the steps above and the rest of the download will complete.

And yes, I had the same troubles too.

hmmmm... extracted the files to my tlk and hak folders, but the download still stops. it states bg_S1.tlk was extracted successfully but it can't be verified, contact administrator...

EDIT: NM....idiot should not attempt computer stuff before coffee! the stupid extraction tool extracted the files in to a newly created folder instead of the folder I directed them to...all good now.

Sorry about the TLK problem. It has a nasty bug wherein the ADL compiler does not detect a change if file size is the same. Then it does not update the MDR.xml file which tells directs the ADL to do its thing. Meanwhile the LZMA file for the ADL is different. Codes are mis-matched and it hangs.

Repairing this is at the top of my list now.

Follow Tsidkenu's instructions above.

Don't go into the c:/program files/nwn2 folder, go to My Documents folder and look for nwn2
