This tiny hak is very simple. In the toolset, it forces body parts and robes to be displayed consecutively by model number instead of by AC. It is intended as an aid for hak builders who are merging clothing haks. The toolset will display "skipped" numbers in haks as a missing area with no inventory icon. This hak allows for parts numbered out to 255, and will eliminate the guesswork when you want to pull specific parts from a clothing hak to add them to your own.
To use this hak, simply extract it into your NWN hak folder, make a copy of your test module, then add this hak and move it to the top of the hak list. Do NOT add it to your original module, as it will scramble part numbers for previously built armours, and will also change the base properties of all armour types. Always work in a copy of your module instead.
The hak pak includes a BioWare default armor.2da for builders who want to adjust the base properties of armour, such as capping the DEX bonus to AC from cloth, or adding extra heavy plate mail.
Special thanks to Lisa for gracious help with clothing 2das.
UPDATED: Added extra heavy plate mail support by default.
I made this tool for my own use in compiling clothing haks from various sources, and didn't think anyone else would ever find it useful, so I was astounded to see so many renowned content creators using it and actually liking it. Thanks to all for the kind words and votes! :-) _________________________ Realms Of Destiny PW

This idea is nothing short of brilliant. Such a simple idea, but WOW is it powerful. Thank you so much for making merging clothing haks simple versus a total nightmare, especially torsos. If I could vote higher than a 10 I would.
To Johnd894: Thank you for the kind words. I made this hak mostly for my own use, and wasn't sure if others would find it useful. It's always nice to see that someone has. :-) _________________________ Realms Of Destiny PW

This hack is a fantastic tool! I am using this hak with hunt3r's dynamic armor scripts, and it has certainly helped tremendously!
