I love CEP. I would like to see a ton of new portraits that will work with both PC and NPC. I never have enough.
I have a bit of an issue.. It may be my stuipidity but I cant seem to figure this out... I have never had CEP before and just downloaded the 1.52 version.. I followed the readme to the letter but when I go to play on a sever it says missing Hak files CEP2DA.hak & CEP1PATCH150. hak.. Although I have extracted these files from my HOTU folder in to the Hak folder.. Can you please help me with this.. Thanks
whoops i didn't read the 2nd page sorry _________________________ "Ironfist honor and manhood" "Oh you mean the two smallest things in all of faerun"

"Fat bellied little knee high"
I downloaded the PRC pack and put all of the .hif and .hak files in the hak folder and the .erf in the erf folder i played the program and tried to play a module and it said i was missing the .tlk file
PLEASE HELP _________________________ "Ironfist honor and manhood" "Oh you mean the two smallest things in all of faerun"

Actually the readme included with the patch is the full install readme and the one included with the full install is the patch readme :-) But here is a reprint of the essential portion. Just don't worry about not having the files listed in #1 and follow the rest of it:
1.Unzip or Unrar the download files (make sure you check the option to maintain the directory structure when uncompressing) and place the following hak paks into your NWN/hak folder :
2. There are three haks in CEP which are specific to what version of Neverwinter Nights that you have. To help you install the right ones we�ve made three folders � named HotU, SoU, and Live. Choose the one that best matches your version of Neverwinter Nights and copy all of its contents (which are three hak files) into your NWN\hak folder.
Which folder do you use? Have no fear. Simply read on and we�ll give you some great pointers to help you select the right one.
The HotU folder contains the three haks for versions of Neverwinter Nights that either have both expansions installed (Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark) or only Hordes of the Underdark.
The SoU folder contains the three haks for versions of Neverwinter Nights that only have Shadows of Undrentide installed.
The Live folder contains the three haks for versions of Neverwinter Nights that do not have either expansion installed.
Important � If you have Neverwinter Nights Platinum Edition then use the HotU folder.
Once you have selected the correct folder, open it and copy the following three hak files into your NWN\hak folder. These three hak files are :
cep1patch152.hak
cep1patch150.hak
cep2da.hak
3. Place the talk table "cep.tlk" into your NWN/tlk folder.
Important - If you skip this critical step then CEP will physically work but just about everything in it will have strange names and phrases. Its very important that you place this file into that folder. Again, its very important!
If you don�t have a tlk folder simply create a new folder in your NWN directory, name it �tlk�, then place the cep.tlk file in that folder. From that point on you won�t have to worry about it.
4. Place the CEP Open Day.mod and CEP Starter Module.mod modules in your NWN/modules folder.
The CEP Open Day module (created by juleslawrence) showcases some of the awesome content available in CEP. There are also countless CEP modules available on NWVault, including a continuation of the NWN Original Campaign by Seryn, a member of the CEP Team. A high number of Persistent Worlds and guilds are currently running the CEP as well.
That is all you need to do. You are now officially able to play CEP modules, PWs, and experience everything that CEP has to offer. _________________________ CEP download for dial-up users.

Follow Jonasis's instructions about 7 posts down. The readme is accidentlty the Orginal CEP readme.
BTW Jonasis why not just submit in a seperate readme then get them to put a link to that on this page or on the main CEP downloads page. I didn't even read the Patch Readme. The Directory paths and files extensions are obvious enough to easily be matched up with the folder names in the NWN folder.
Example: .erf files go in the ERF folder and .hak files go in the HAK folder.
Then you just do what you did with the orginal CEP manual installation and take the files from the folder marked with your version of NWN, in my case HOTU and put them in the Main HAK folder.
Thats pretty much a simplified version of what to do with no referance to the readme.
The Readme i misleading in this case as it is the wrong readme.
Of course i only did all this after acually downloading the right file *smack his forehead* sometimes i am such a ditz.

Once i downloaded the file about a week ago i have had no trouble. The cep1patch_152.hak was in my zip of the file. I don't know why everyone is having so much trouble with it. All the files plus a few unessecary one's were there. But otherwise it works fine. So if your having trouble I recommend downloading it again. As all the files should be there.

I downloaded this file (CEP v1.52 Patch - 52.7Mo) and there are 6 .hak files missing: ceptexture, cepportrait, cepplace, cepcreature, cepbaseitem and cepanatomy
Airfey, did you follow the instructions in the readme.txt (there is a copy of it I posted about 14 posts down, or you can just follow the instructions I gave three or four posts down to Nullthra). If you do this then you will be completely set up.
Unless you never had CEP installed prior to downloading this, then you will have to download the full install version since this is only the patch version. _________________________ CEP download for dial-up users.
Hey, I did everything I was told and every time I try to join a game, it says I am missing all the cep texture, portrat, creature and so forth...whats going on?
cep1patch.hak is the original patch update from v1.0 which released the entire project and isn't the v1.51 update.
Unfortunately the v1.51 and v1.50 were named the same in an effort to alleviate problems so it is best to just use the copy of cep1patch150.hak that comes with the patch file you downloaded to ensure that you have the latest version. The three files in the HotU folder of the patch (cep2da.hak, cep1patch150.hak, and cep1patch152.hak) are the ones you need to copy to your hak folder.
The hotfix that I supplied on the vault did have an issue with it, but that has been fixed now and the page reflects the changes made. I removed all three files named cep1patch152.hak and replaced them with the proper copies that are zipped into hotu.zip/sou.zip/live.zip so that they do not overwrite eachother with the last uploaded copy. The problem was that the Vault was using the last uploaded file of the same name as the source for all three downloads even though I uploaded three different versions of the cep1patch152.hak file itself. This is what caused only the SoU version of the hak file to be available no matter what link was clicked. But as I said, this has been fixed.
After you have copied the three files from the HotU folder of the patch, as I outlined above, you can then use the cep1patch152.hak supplied in the hotfix hotu.zip to replace the one you just copied out of the patch and you will be all set.
So....
Unzip the cepv152_patch.zip you downloaded from the vault, unzip the hotu.zip you downloaded off the hotfix page from the vault.
Copy the files found in the HotU folder of the patch to your hak directory.
Copy the cep1patch152.hak from the hotfix to your hak folder. Allow it to overwrite the version you just copied there from the patch.
If you are working on your own modules, just open the module properties and go to the Custom Content tab, place the cep1patch152 at the top of the list, select OK and let the module rebuild, save the module, close the entire toolset, open the module back up, and you are all set to utilize it without errors.
I see that it is repeated in the new download so I assume that I have the full cep 1.51 update. But I still need confirmation.
The only hak I'm missing is the cep1patch 152.hak. I've posted a detailed message in the cep forums. I've also read that the hotfix has an issue with the three different downloads..ie. no matter which one you download you get the SOU one. Has that been fixed yet?
Thank you again for this awesome addition to NWN and the community.
Nullthra, I sent you a PM in the Bioware forums about it as well. The hotfix I supplied will be officially incorporated into the CEP v1.52 .exe release so there is no problem downloading it, you will use the hotu.zip with your configuration. Bioware released packages but it is the same as the individual disks (as I also have). _________________________ CEP download for dial-up users.
Ok, I did some double checking. Here's what I found.
The NEW 1.52 CEP Patch the one above has these haks in the zip file.
cep1patch150.hak
cep1patch152.hak
cep2da.hak
cep1patch.hak
There is also these two files in the above download as well.
cep.tlk
cep_crafting.erf
NOW then I looked at what I already had in my NWN folders without unzipping and installing the new above cep haks.
Here is what I already have in my folders:
cep1patch150.hak
cep1patch.hak
cep2da.hak
cepanatomy.hak
cepbaseitem.hak
cepcreatures.hak
cepplace.hak
cepprotrait.hak
ceptexture.hak
I also have these files without downloading the above zip.
cep.tlk
cep_crafting.erf
It seems to me the only hak i'm missing now is this one:
cep1patch152.hak
I'm a little confused. IF all i need is the last hak to be added then where is that one?
Unless the repeated hak files (shown under what I already have in my foldlers) hold new content themselves I assume I don't need to mess with them at all. Please help me understand what I need to do. Thank you.
Ah ok, I did look again at the link you sent me and I see that the one I will be downloading is the HotU and Platium zip. However I am not in a rush to update the cep and will most likly wait until the hotfix or patch has been made offical. Bugs really scare me and as before I will need to be 99.9% sure.
Thank you.
Ok I got the download above and it is still zipped waiting to be unzipped in my docs. Before I extract the files and add the new haks to my directory I have some questions.
Is there a chance that I will not need the hotfix?
I looked on the page you linked me to and I did not see a download there which fits my NWN game installation. I got my expansion packs (sou and hou) from the store a long time ago. I don't have the gold or platium additions I have the individual cd's.
Would it be better for me to just download the entire cep 1.52 hak instead of hoping for the best?
I've got a ton of hard work that I am not willing to loose because something removes things from your game. I'm extreamly cautious when it comes to downloading things and I like things to work once...ie. the first time I do them. I'm a messure twice cut once type. Please understand that I am still leaning things about computers every day and I do not feel confident unless things are extreamly clear and very detailed. Thank you.
Hello,
I would like to know if the update above is the one I need to download. I have nwn,sou,hou 1.66 and cep 1.51.
These are the cep haks I have in my Hak folder at this time.
cep1patch
cep2da
cepanatomy
cepbaseitem
cepcreatures
cepplace
cepportrait
ceptexture
ceptlkfile
By downloading the above cep 1.52 patch will that be all I need to have the full cep 1.52 hak?
I am also a builder so will this patch give me the builder content as well? Thank you once again for an awesome addition to nwn.

the .zip folder keeps saying "file is missing or corrupted"....... is there any way I can solve this short of downloading all over again?(as I have only dialup and it sucks)

Thanks man. Lol ahhhh even my own stupidity surprises me...give me making a website with only notepad and i can do that but ask me to click the right link and you have me stumped lol.
In the patch version you should have received this list of files/folders
HotU - folder
Live - folder
SoU - folder
2da changes.txt
cep1patch.hak
CEP Credits v152.pdf
CEP FAQ v152.pdf
CEP Open Day.mod
CEP Players Guide v152.pdf
CEP Starter Module.mod

This is from the readme that came in the .rar patch........
1.Unzip or Unrar the download files (make sure you check the option to maintain the directory structure when uncompressing) and place the following hak paks into your NWN/hak folder :

If you follow just these instructions you will be all set up and ready to roll for a user. If you are a builder, then you will need to assign the haks to the module itself, but hopefully you should know how to do that if you are at that point. *I downloaded the file above while writing this out and the readme from the .zip patch matches the one from the .rar patch. This information is present in the readme.txt file that is included with the above download. So I'm not sure where you got that quote you posted.....* _________________________ CEP download for dial-up users.
There was a mixup in the readme files. You are reading the full install readme. Skip this portion about the files and go to the section about the HotU/SoU/Live folders. You'll be all set from there :D _________________________ CEP download for dial-up users.
