Layonara v17 problem

[Wraithdur]

ok then, a quick re-cap:
the file has been downloaded (overall about 6 different times), it has been put in the neverwinternights folder, then the nwn folder, then unzipped, then placed in the tlk folder.
i have tried to enter layonara about 8 times now, still no luck.

[Leanthar]

Hmm. Not sure what is going on here then. We have litterlly hundreds of others (a thousand or more at least probably) that have downloaded the tlk files and placed them in their nwn\\tlk folder and then played in the game world.

I am at a loss, sorry.

[Wraithdur]

so...............wait........*sniffles*....i can't play layonara.....*bursts out crying*.................i looked up to you guys!
*starts to search the internet for another RPG to fill the void in his life*
but seriously should i give up all hope of ever going on layonara?

Wraithdur,

Please humour me and try the following:

Open a dos box (startmenu>Run , type 'cmd' in the 'Open' text dialog box. Click Ok)

This will then open a dos box (black nasty text only window).

type in the command dir c:\\*.tlk /s > c:\\layo_tlk.log - then press enter

leave you machine form at least 10 minutes as your c: drive is searched for TLK files.

When you get back reply to this post and attach a file. The file to attach is c:\\layo_tlk.log. This will allow us to have a quick look at the location of TLK files on your C:\\ drive.

All the above assumes that NWN is installed on your C:\\ drive. if it isn't change the drive letter for the *.tlk serch path

Hope thats understandable.

what is a dos box?...........sorry(noob........actually i used to think it was spelled nube)

[Dorganath]

DOS window = Command Prompt.
  But don't worry about that too much....just follow Nibor's directions and you should be fine.

[Wraithdur]

very sorry.............but i still have no idea what you mean

[Dorganath]

Are you running Windows?

[Wraithdur]

yes.......i'm just uneducated in its many programs

[Dorganath]

Alright...then follow the directions the Nibor21 gave above.
  Click your Windows desktop "Start" button, select Run..., and so forth. Follow what he suggested and let us know what comes out of it.

[Wraithdur]

doing that now.
was it ok that i just copied and pasted directly into it?

[Wraithdur]

i waited for about 30mins, no result, i probably copied it down wrong,dunno
 

[Wraithdur]

i was searching the forums and found someone else who had experienced my problem, they solved it by deleting all hak packs etc. then re-installed.
should i take this course of action?

[Talan Va'lash]

ohh I think I got it, you put the .rar file in the nwn/tlk folder, THEN unzipped/rared it? Is that correct?
 
  If so, what you need to do is take the .tlk file and put it DIRECTLY in the nwn/tlk folder.
 
  when you unrar something it often puts it in a new folder named whatever the name of the rar was.
 
  The output of the rar should be just one little file, and that little file needs to be directly in nwn/tlk the rar file itself is not needed once you get the .tlk out of it.
 
  Edit: oh minerva already said the same thing above. But as I don't think it was responded to, it might be the issue still.

 You don't actually see anything happening. However, a file called Layo_tlk.log will have appeared on your c:-drive.
  What you need to do now, is reply to this thread, tick the box "Attach a file after posting", then browse for that layo_tlk.log file and click submit.
  Then we can take a look.

[Wraithdur]

thanks for all your help...............my friends helped me get on layo.................too much to explain how it was fixed, but the important thing is that i'm there........................................so there is no purpose for this thread anymore..................umm................how do i delete a thread?

[Nibor21]

Glad your in and hope you enjoy Layo.

Don't bother about deleting the thread, it will either disappear into history, be a good reference for the next person with problems like yours or allow the rest of us point to it to embarrass you in the future

[Deacon]

[Wraithdur]

(you probably won't embarrass me in the future with this thread because i didn't tell you the stupid mistake i made) :p
