Is there a way to add in new character portraits?

Yes - just put them in the portraits folder in the NWN directory. Try
downloading some from the main site to get the format for your own pictures:

http://nwvault.ign.com/Files/portraits/

They are .tga format and various sizes.

Best wishes

You can also use the PRC pack to add a bunch of new character models and
portraits that you can use as well, but the module must be
PRC-associated, or you can update it to be.

You're welcome.

Does anyone know of any way to update the OC, SoU, and HotU 'modules' to
take advantage of the CEP models? It is the CEP you refer to above, no?

No, the CEP is different. I think you can open the official modules in
the Toolset and choose the CEP as haks to apply to them, but maybe this
feature is disabled since they are the official games.

I'll try again tonight. I'm pretty sure I attempted that before and it
didn't seem to make a difference. When playing the OC after that attempt
with a CEP-created character he ended up having no head. Quite freaky.


What is the PRC pack then? Prestige Class content is my guess. Is it an
add-on downloadable from the NWVaults? (I'm at work and can't check the
graphical sites until later ... <g>)

Thanks for your info and insight.

You are correct. Unfortunatly, it doesn't play nice with the CEP pack. If
you're interested in prestige characters just install the PRC.

The PRC contains custom races, subraces, classes, character models,
spells, feats, skills...pretty much a bunch of new *everything*. You
need to download the PRC Character Creator (to make a character with,
instead of the Bioware generator) and the PRC Pack (which contains all
the new stuff) and you can create a character with tons of options.

The PRC also comes with an auto-updater you can use to make a module
PRC-compliant. A much easier process than having to apply the CEP.

Interesting. From having SoU and HotU installed I already have prestige
classes (love weapon masters and arcane archers). Is this some sort of
supplement with newer PrCs from the "Complete" D&D 3.5 books or is it
only for basic NwN installs that don't have access to the SoU or HotU
expansions?

And what does PRC do to thwart the CEP?

Thanks for any info or comments.

Is it any good?

I don't really feel much of a need to play a goliath kobold half
wereguppy dentist/exotic-dancer/uberdemonslayer or anything. I usually
just play humans or possibly elves, sad as that may seem. Your
description makes the PRC sound like something for extreme tinkerers
and/or module developers. Do I misunderstand?

Good idea. I still wish there was just some 'global' NwN switch to
"activate all CEP content" sort of thing.

Thanks for the info. I have some research to do tonight. I hadn't even
heard of the PRC pack.

Go here http://nwnprc.netgamers.co.uk/manual/index.html and click on the
categories on the left, like "Races", etc. and you will see all the new
things it adds.

I consider the CEP to be more of a developer tool, whereas the PRC is
for players too since you can create a very custom character with all
the new things that are added.

Very interesting. Thanks for the link. I spent some time on the weekend
going through the site. That's a lot of nifty stuff.

Much obliged for the heads-up.

No problem. And don't forget, even a mod that isn't PRC compliant can be
made so by using the module updater that comes with the PRC download.
It's much harder to make a mod CEP compliant, and I still don't know how
yet myself.
