The ALFA Build Module is a stripped down but fully functional module, for builders to use as a basis for their work.<br />
<br />
If at any point you become stuck, consider logging into [[IRC Chat]], and joining #alfa-tech.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Prerequisites ==<br />
To start, you must first download the following files:<br />
* [https://download.alandfaraway.info/builders/alfa00_buildmod.zip alfa00_buildmod.zip] -- The build module itself.<br />
* [https://download.alandfaraway.info/builders/missing_textures.zip missing_textures.zip] -- Files to fix missing texture errors when the module loads.<br />
* [https://download.alandfaraway.info/builders/alfa_builder_overrides.zip alfa_builder_overrides.zip] -- Extract this in your override folder.<br />
* [http://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn2/other/tool/advanced-script-compiler-nwn2 Advanced Script Compiler] -- Capable of compiling [[ALFA Core Rules | ACR]] scripts.<br />
<br />
Next, locate the following directories:<br />
* '''NWN2 Home Directory''' -- The Neverwinter Nights 2 folder inside of your documents folder.<br />
:: ''Example:'' "<code>C:\Users\'''<User>'''\Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2</code>"<br />
* '''NWN2 Install Directory''' --The Neverwinter Nights 2 installation directory.<br />
:: ''Example:'' "<code>C:\Program Files (x86)\Atari\Neverwinter Nights 2</code>"<br />
:: ''Example:'' "<code>C:\GOG Games\Neverwinter Nights 2</code>"<br />
<br />
<br />
== Installation ==<br />
=== Toolset Files ===<br />
The following instructions should place the files in the correct place.<br />
# Open the ''missing_textures.zip'' file that you downloaded. It should contain two folders, with the files already organized for you.<br />
# Open the '''NWN2 Installation Directory'''.<br />
# Extract files from the .zip archive, merging as needed.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Advanced Script Compiler ===<br />
# Quit the toolset, if it is active.<br />
# Open the '''NWN2 Installation Directory'''.<br />
# Navigate first to <code>NWN2Toolset</code> then to <code>Plugins</code>.<br />
:: ''Example:'' "<code>C:\Program Files (x86)\Atari\Neverwinter Nights 2\NWN2Toolset\Plugins</code>"<br />
# Open the AdvancedScriptCompiler.zip archive, and open the <code>ToolsetPlugin</code> folder.<br />
# Extract <code>NWN2ToolsetCompilerPlugin.dll</code> and <code>NWNScriptCompilerDll.ndl</code> to the Plugins folder specified above.<br />
# Launch the toolset and enable plugin loading (if you have not done so). To do this, open the View > Options menu item in the toolset main menu bar, click on General, change the "Security > AllowPlugins" option to read "Load all plugins". The default is to only load Obsidian provided plugins.<br />
# Restart the toolset.<br />
<br />
Once installed, simply compile scripts as normal and the Advanced Script Compiler will automatically be used.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Build Module ===<br />
Finally, we place the build module into our modules folder.<br />
# Navigate to the '''NWN2 Home Directory'''.<br />
# Open the <code>modules</code> folder.<br />
# Create a folder for your build module, example ''alfa00_buildmodule''.<br />
# Extract the contents of ''alfa00_buildmod.zip'' into the folder you created.<br />
