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 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?

Just what I need. Thanks a lot for this wonderful job.

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.
