The Auto-downloader, and Hak files. I can't play.

[Passiflora]

Okay, so, here's my story.

Once a month I have that feeling of nostalgia and I want to log back on BGTSCC.

I have -Two- computers.


So the problem is, the auto-downloader doesn't want to let me play, on BOTH of my computers.



What I do

I download the files Maecius updated in this thread:

http://www.bgtscc.net/viewtopic.php?p=659564#p659564

I put them in the /hak folder of my document/nwn2 directory.


I start the game (I tried both with client extension and no CE today.)


And then I try to log onto the server, and I see this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gmcti86mhengj ... 5.png?dl=0


Basically, it varies from 4 to 6 hours (I usually download at like 6 meg/second when I download movies or games).

Then, after an hour, I get an error, because after 3 'attempts' to download files, the autodownloader shuts it down.

I tried downloading the files directly from the FTP as well, a year ago, when Luna gave me access. It didn't work either, the auto-downloader still @#%$@ with me.



Other servers work fine with the autodownloader, I just tested it.


What is wrong with my two computers, and why the hell can't I play on BG?

No Canadian policy?!?

Uhm, from which of those posts are you downloading the near-latest mirror of the package of necessary files?

Because from that screenshot, though you downloaded and unpacked the files, it seems the auto downloader is still trying to download everything!

I'd say wipe out all bgtscc1 files/folders, then try again. Also, there are 2 locations in which to store NWN2 files...you sure you are saving in the right place?

I use the files Maecius last updated in the thread.

And I wasn't aware there was files in his last post I needed to put somewhere else than in the hak folder? Which one, and where? :O

Thank you for your help, Steve.

The very last post are all haks for the haks folder, Passiflora. The hak folder in question should be in your "My Documents" folder, not the "Atari" or "GOG" folders on the C: drive.

Is there a particular file giving you issues? If you need me to upload some new files, I can probably do so.

The path for all the files you will need—from BGTSSC PW— go into C:\users\[username]\My Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2.

In this folder, there are these folders that get files for BGTSCC:

\Campaigns\BG\campaign.CAM
\hak\[51 files on my computer, for example]
\ModuleRules\Baldurs Gate TSCC\AreaDb.dat
\modules\Baldurs Gate TSCC\[I have 393 files in this folder, but only 165 have been updated since 2016]
\music\[21 files]

Download the set of files from this link: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id= ... sp=sharing

Unrar the files to the appropriate folders—Campaigns, hak, modules, music—then try connecting to BGTSCC. You should be prompted to auto update all that is on your machine, with the latest of the files...and it might be a big update FYI.

Let us know, Housy Cat, how it goes....
