Title: Game question (client)
Post by: WestSideR on August 14, 2008, 09:52:32 PM: I am new here I heard about this game from another forum I visit frequently. Anyways I was wondering which NWN I would have to get, Neverwinter nights the one came out in 2002? Or Neverwinter nights 2: Mask of the betrayer, or what? Can anyone help me out in detail? Like if I get NWN 2 do I update it all the way or how do i install it correctly?

Thanks.

Layo does not currently use version 1.69, so you will have to find the revert Thread on this Forum. Search for 1.69 and you should see the right one somewhere >.< Cant find it right now

Post by: ShiffDrgnhrt on August 14, 2008, 10:29:13 PM: another thanks? *laughs* I don't need thanks... Only a certain GM with a funny nickname really "needs" them... And he/she know's who he/she is... ;)

And Welcome ;)

Post by: ShiffDrgnhrt on August 15, 2008, 06:51:48 PM: 950?! Are you serious? Wow....

Post by: darkstorme on August 15, 2008, 07:06:34 PM: Tilesets are huge. You need not only the bitmaps that make up the "look", but the walkmeshes that make up the "feel", as well as the "sound". I'd say that tilesets make up the majority of the hak size.

The other big one is the custom creatures. Models aren't small either, especially when paired with their animations.
