Re-Download the Sin plugin, it is updated for latest patch.

HEEGZ post is the clearest set of instructions I've seen.

I am officially requesting an Alfa Toolsetting guide in that format HEEGZ, that we could use here and post to vault for PR.

(I know you love me)

There are some ALFA specific steps in there that would need to be removed if posted to the vault. Anyone who has the time and energy is more than welcome to adapt this for advertisement purposes, I don't mind. For now I am focusing on building more areas for BG.

Please note that the SinPlugin has been recompiled for patch 1.22 so the original post is still accurate. All you need to do is re-download the plugin file from step one and swap it for the old version. Unfortunately I keep getting an error which is preventing me from using it.

I just re-downloaded the latest version of the SinPlugin and it is finally working properly on patch 1.22

Where are the haks available now for this?

Where are the haks available now for this?

If you are playing on one of our Live servers, the haks are on your machine already, in the proper directory ("My Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2/haks/").

The current version of the Sinplugin is here, although you don't really need it to make custom items.

Also, since the 1.23 patch, you no longer need (or should) put any custom content files into your game installation folders - create a Toolset/Plugins folder in your Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2/ folder and put the plugin file (or files) in there.

Curm, please edit the original post if it needs to be updated. I haven't messed with this for quite some time, and am not in a position to test a new procedure at this point. Thanks.

ResRef pcname_it_itemcode_specific_qualitycode
Name "{PC Name Here} Item Name Here".
Tag pcname_it_itemcode_specific_qualitycode

The use of the prefix "pcname_" has been depreciated.
Please use the three-digit code of the server where the item will be imported, for instance 003_ for the Silver Marches.

The guide has been updated. Please comment if you find any typos, mistakes, or parts that need to be altered.

Edited the OP to change "Category" to "Classification" to reflect the name of this field in the Toolset.

Also,

Move the file ( SinPlugin.dll ) into the Plugins folder of your NWN2 install directory. I use Win XP and mine is located here by default:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\Atari\Neverwinter Nights 2\NWN2Toolset\Plugins

It is better practice to avoid making changes to your game install directory, and instead to add new plugins and other content to your "My Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2/" folder in the appropriate sub-folder. In the case of toolset plugins, you will need to create an "NWN2Toolset" folder, and inside that, a "Plugins" folder, making the path to your plugins folder "My Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2/NWN2Toolset/Plugins"
