CEP 2.1 file list
From NWNWiki
This CEP 2.1 file list describes the files included in version 2.1 of the Community Expansion Pack.
[edit] Talk table
CEP 2.1 comes with the talk table cep21_v1.tlk, which belongs in the tlk subdirectory of a Neverwinter Nights installation. A module that requires CEP 2.1 should use this talk table.
[edit] Hak paks
The hak paks included in CEP 2.1 belong in the hak subdirectory of a Neverwinter Nights installation. Some of these hak paks are optional for individual modules, but a player should have all of them available. For module builders, there is some flexibility in the order of these hak paks when associated with a module, but there are also some aspects of the order that are required. The following table lists the hak paks in a functioning order.
| file name | description |
|---|---|
| cep2_top_v21.hak | 2da files; required |
| cep2_custom.hak | empty; optional |
| cep2_add_phenos5.hak | riding and flying phenotypes; required |
| cep2_add_phenos4.hak | |
| cep2_add_phenos3.hak | |
| cep2_add_phenos2.hak | |
| cep2_add_phenos1.hak | |
| cep2_add_sb_v1.hak | additional scripts and blueprints; optional |
| cep2_core6.hak | core CEP content (models, sounds, and portraits); required |
| cep2_core5.hak | |
| cep2_core4.hak | |
| cep2_core3.hak | |
| cep2_core2.hak | |
| cep2_core1.hak | |
| cep2_core0.hak |
The cep2_custom hak pak is provided as an aid to multiplayer servers. The intent is that resources that are only needed server-side (e.g. scripts, blueprints, and dialogs) can be placed in the server's version of this hak pak. This allows larger modules, as the game limits each file (.mod or .hak) to roughly 16,000 resources. Using this hak pak in this way effectively allows a server's module to consume 32,000 resources without requiring players to download a server-specific hak pak.
The cep2_custom hak pak can also be used to override certain CEP resources (e.g. scripts, blueprints, and dialogs). This is why it is listed out of alphabetical order, near the top of the hak pak list. It should not, however, be used to override .2da resources, which is why it is not at the top of the hak pak list.
