See OUR PRC THREAD for more info.
1) nwn, sou, and hotu
2) the cep
3) the prc pack 2.2c
4) the haks in the rar on the ftp
3)PRC homepage: http://nwnprc.netgamers.co.uk
The information on this page is out-of-date. The only things of real value here are the downloads (i recommend the .rar version because i love doing things manually) and the forums.
4)Cor's FTP Server to obtain other files:
My FTP Server
IP: corrodias.no-ip.org (137.28.224.253)
port: 6999
name: nwn
pass: [any]
You will need to use a browser or FTP client to connect. To use the non-anonymous name "nwn" you will probably have to use a client.
Also, if you have a firewall or router, you may have to use PASV mode to connect. I'll spare you the technical details, but let it suffice to say that you can use PASV mode with no negative side effects, even if you don't have a firewall.
I recommend Core FTP Lite. It's not pretty, but it supports lots of features (including SFTP and FTP/SSL) and is easy to use. remember to check the "PASV" box in the connection dialog. http://www.coreftp.com/
So, download Core FTP LITE via above URL. Use it to access Cor's FTP archive site and download the approporiate files. Please note that inside there is a .tlk file in that archive that needs to go into the .tlk folder.

Lots of info in the campaign forum. The Forgotten Realms is a living place, a big plot is unfolding with many subplots as well. There is a clear and compelling storyline, party and individual character motivations, etc. You can help carve your own adventures, and provide hooks for the DMs, in the campaign forum.
Please don't view your adventure as one where you are playing a mod and the dms are overseeing- the mods are customized as much possible and often between sessions to react to what your characters are doing, the actions they take and do not take. Our objective to flesh out a non-linear world for you to both react to as well as and perhaps more importantly proactively fulfil your character's ambitions.
In short, you can also use the campaign forum to suggest, in character, new things for your character to do - developing contacts in the underworld, seeking an item of interest, learning a new skill, pursuing a vendetta, starting a war....you get the idea.
This is your adventure- lead it forward!

New Files on Corrodias' FTP shortly to enable CEP 1.51 with PRC.
Also, .Bics need to be send to Corrodias for Server Vault characters.
Message Corrodias/ see current game page/ keep an eye on this thread and General Discussion thread.
Thanks,

From Cor:
go for it! the game thread has details, and this is a copy:
1) everyone must update to CEP 1.51. please note that WinRAR, by default, extracts will full pathnames, so when you extract things from the CEP rar within the "HotU" folder, please remember to check the "do not extract pathnames" box each time.
2) everyone must re-download hoyasaxa_combo_haks_and_tlks.rar from the FTP server. please note that there is one .tlk file in the archive. that must be placed in your tlk folder. it's easy to miss.
3) if you have not already exported your character and obtained a .bic file of his lateset version, get on the server and do it now. do steps 1) and 2) first because the server is now using 1.51.
3b) email me your .bic file (the address is in the 'server vault' thread), and in the email include the full 'username' you use in NWN itself (not your NWC name). i need to put the .bic's in folders according to the player's account name, and i don't know what they all are. those of you who have already sent me one, post what your username is in that "server vault" thread on the game page.
3c) DM's, as far as i know, you also must send me your .bic files. i will try to figure out just where they are supposed to go, but i'm not absolutely sure, so i will put them everywhere. for this reason, some time during the game, please export at least once so it updates the 'date modified' and i can tell which one it's using.

ok I leave game for a week and come back to update to 151 cep.
ok im downloading all the new stuff and need to understand something.
I have vincents latest BIC which is obviously 1.50 cep
how do I make him into a 1.51cep bic?
can I use the NECM that I already have or do I need to download the new on on core ftp? Im thinking that when i patch up to 1.51 that my old bic will not work. Any ideas?

Hey Tynk,
The bic shouldn't be a problem since you shouldn't have any of the new content on it. It won't make a difference.
I logged on after the upgrade with a pre 1.51 bic and it worked fine.

Mmmm-kay.
So I need to go to CEP 1.51, and do all the other things I need to do to play.
What will doing this upgrade do to my ability to host and build games for people that have nor upgraded? That is, do I need to require the players in my game to upgrade as well if I want to play here?

you will still be able to host games with any version of the CEP... as long as the module is designed for whatever version your players have (that is, doesn't try to use haks that they don't have). the clothes and stuff may look or behave slightly different on your computer but it should just be cosmetic. the game will still load content from each player's haks for his own game.

Thanks; but with respect to building what happens?
Each session I host, I make a new mod. If I switch up cep's and then build a new mod, will that require the players to upgrade as well?

im not really sure. if you use the new haks with cep 1.5, definitely. if you just use the old ones, they may have updated content, but i doubt they have any -new- content, so they should work fine.

*scratches head* I'm not sure what to do. I have players on dial-up for whom a 165 MB dl with no new feaures is a lot to ask.
What you're saying is- if I replace my haks with the 1.51 version and then build a mod, it will require the 1.51 version to play, yes?

Understand your concerns Gornt. Appears like if you upgrade, yours players will have to as well. Unless you revert after each game you play with cep 1.51.
The nwn and cep upgrades are a pain and we have to do them every three or four months it seems. But really not that big a deal. Since a lot of the players in the campaign I DM in play in our campaigns or have other campaigns or play on Pws, we simply grin and bear it - usually a week or two later to avoid bugs.
Not sure why urgading to cep 1.51 would be an issue for your players - as long as you gave them enough lead time it would be a small price to pay to be in your campaign; surprised they haven't clamored for you to do it already, but having just graduated from dial-up, I know how much an issue that might be.
Good luck and look forward to Antwon's climatic return one day.

nono, see, if you have CEP 1.51, but you want the module to be compatible with cep 1.01, you just leave out the cep1patch150.hak from the resource list, and it takes care of itself.

I'm sorry, I don't know where the 1.01 thing came from.
I have CEP 1.5 and want future mods to be compatible with that for the time being. It seems like if I upgrade to 1.51, players who only have 1.5 will be unable to play.
