Installation
Toolset Files
The following instructions should place the files in the correct place.
- Open the missing_textures.zip file that you downloaded. It should contain two folders, with the files already organized for you.
- Open the NWN2 Installation Directory.
- Extract files from the .zip archive, merging as needed.
Advanced Script Compiler
- Quit the toolset, if it is active.
- Open the NWN2 Installation Directory.
- Navigate first to
NWN2Toolset
then toPlugins
.
- Example: "
C:\Program Files (x86)\Atari\Neverwinter Nights 2\NWN2Toolset\Plugins
"
- Example: "
- Open the AdvancedScriptCompiler.zip archive, and open the
ToolsetPlugin
folder. - Extract
NWN2ToolsetCompilerPlugin.dll
andNWNScriptCompilerDll.ndl
to the Plugins folder specified above. - 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.
- Restart the toolset.
Once installed, simply compile scripts as normal and the Advanced Script Compiler will automatically be used.
Build Module
Finally, we place the build module into our modules folder.
- Navigate to the NWN2 Home Directory.
- Open the
modules
folder. - Create a folder for your build module, example alfa00_buildmodule.
- Extract the contents of alfa00_buildmod.zip into the folder you created.
