In this package, you will find a large compilation... containing some of the very best, and most useful, placeables created for Nwn2 so far. I've included just about every placeable available: cliffs, buildings, paintings, windows, and more! Structures both eastern and western in design... and all, by some of the most talented custom content makers the Vault has seen. - Cheers!
Full blueprints are included for every placeable... except the Japanese House Placeables v1.0, which do not use them.
Install instructions:
First, download all of the files from this page... then extract the Hak Pak starting from Part 1; it will extract parts 1 through 7 automatically then.
Next extract your Blueprints and Docs.
To install Chaos Placeables v1.8 for Nwn2, place the Hak Pak into your hak folder and then associate it with your module. Save the module, and restart.
For players of modules that already use this pack... you will only need to put the Hak Pak into the hak folder.
Installing the blueprints will not be necessary unless you are a builder. If you are a builder, then read on below:
To add the blueprints, place the whole contents of the Blueprints folder into your override folder. I opted to use this method in place of using an .erf because in Nwn2, .erf blueprints that have a lot of placeables in them take longer to save in the toolset than the override blueprints do. This version of Chaos Placeables is now easier to set up and build with than it ever was before! So, v1.8 is now the version of choice for players and builders alike.
Note: only two .2da files are used in this pack - placeables, and doortypes.
Naturally... the blueprints will only work with the Hak Pak installed, so do not try to use them without the hak file. All the future versions of this compilation will continue to use this format, so no further format changes will be necessary to implement. :)

I have posted the SOZ fix for Chaos Placeables. Hopefully will be approved soon.

UPDATE: I will attempt to post the fixed 2DAs and corrected blueprints on Saturday (30 APR).

Never mind :D - found the issue. I will be posting the fixed doortypes and placeables 2DA tomorrow. I have also marked the renumbered locations on the reserved list in the wiki.

If anyone knows of another comprehensive placeables that I can seamlessly drop in, let me know.

Just in case I missed something: I got the placeables and doortypes 2da redone, however, when I select these items using the blueprints provided, I see nothing. I am assuming it is because I am not able to map the appearance in the blueprint to anything, since this stuff does not appear in the TLK. However, since other folks have clearly been using this, there must be a way to get it to work without having that appearance mapped (or by having something else mapped) - if anyone would care to share, please do (unless of course, 1.23 forced the use of the TLK file).
Posted by Shayd3000 at 2011-04-28 17:39:28 Voted 9.00 on 04/29/11
Okay - I got the placeables done - BUT - it still needs the TLK file work done, for everything. Nothing in the current version of this has any of the strref's mapped to TLK, and the toolset will not accept **** or the label name :( - so for now, I'm moving on.
Posted by Shayd3000 at 2011-04-27 16:17:35 Voted 9.00 on 04/29/11
Has anyone tried to correct the placeables.2da on this one to SOZ? - there is a ton of overlap, I was hoping someone has already tackled this one and doortypes.2da.
Posted by batmanis64 at 2009-02-25 09:34:19 Voted 10.00 on 02/25/09
Excellent work. I would love to see this updated for SoZ and with the new "RWS Cliffs and more".

First let me say, Bravo! Second as MokahTGS has asked, do you plan on readressing the placeables.2da file? _________________________ Brian S. Bloom

I was a bit sceptical about downloading this since I downloaded the Chaos Placables hak for NWN1 and had a lot of issues with it (Was that hak done by you?), but I decided to give it a whirl and I am so glad I did. Allmost everything worth downloading to date and it works perfectly! No issues with original aurora placables vanishing from the toolset or being replaced with new the hak placables-no problems whatsoever! And absolutly simple to install. What more could a person ask? _________________________ LeClaire

Thanks for adding my 25 pictures. I'm even at the top of the list ;)
If I could only muster the energy myself to update the standalone hak to work with Motb...

Wonderful and useful thing. The blueprints! :) Thank you for the time devoted to this compilation :)
Posted by MyHouse at 2008-06-17 18:44:37 Voted 10.00 on 06/17/08
I understand that this hak deals with placeables only but I have a real need for the Dragonkin hak. How hard would it be to add that hak? Can I just add it with the tool set or do I need to edit the 2da also?
Posted by Terremer at 2008-05-14 12:52:43 Voted 10.00 on 05/14/08
Just what I need.
Thanks a lot for this wonderful job.
New version 1.8 is up today. Includes the latest additions for the Building Construction Kit 2, as well the City Hak. All the latest fixes for them too.
Today saw a major update for all the Building Construction Kit placeables, as well as the addition of the latest signposts by Crystal Violet. - Cheers!
My thanks, Claudius! And, speaking of support: Tonight was the big update to version 1.7, which now includes a ton of new content including the latest by Tupoun for the City HAK, as well as a bunch of things for the nature-lovers among us, such as mushrooms, rocks and crystals by Zpirit. Racerblue's ruins, and ArPharazon's cave roofs plus great animated catapult round out the latest additions to this growing compilation.

Bravo, this is one of the few great compilations of quality community content. From what I see over the recent months you are providing great support...keep it up !
It's update time again! Tupoun's fixes and new additions for the City Hak are now, officially, a part of this pack. Version 1.6 of Chaos Plaeables for Nwn is up and ready for folks to download.
I just loaded up Tupuon's original City Hak (after re-downloading it), and I checked it out in the toolset. It would seem that it too is missing any textures for sign chains, as of the latest the version of that pack, but over on the City Hak page Tupuon had stated that the set was a work in progess so I shouldn't doubt that the chain textures will be included in a future update for the City Hak. Just to be safe, though, I'll post over there to let Tupuon know about the issue, just in case it went unnoticed.

An invaluable hak for anyone who doesn't want to have to do it themselves - well made and well supported. Thanks Chaos Theocrat.
Just one quick note, the new version (27/02/2008) features Tupuon's rather elegant merchant signs. The texture for the sign chains is currently missing. Thanks, The Abbot
The_Abbot... thanks for the heads-up about the castle. A new version of the Hak Medieval City just came out so I am going to see if I can fix the walls using that. I'll post again once I've fixed the problem.
Posted by The_Abbot at 2008-02-23 01:23:15 Voted 9.75 on 02/28/08
Nice work - however the textures for tops of the battlements are missing from the Placeables -> HAK Medieval City -> Castle in this version.

Update: As of today, as noted above, I have upgraded to the final format that this compilation will be using. Full details can be found under the pack's description, and in the docs files. Also, I have added a lot of content, which will be sure to please fans of this set who have been looking for a more complete package than before. :)
Update: As of today, as noted above, I had altered the Hak Pak file so it has just the placeables and doortypes 2da files in it. This replaces the bloated version I had up before, and will make things simpler for users of this pack.
