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 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.

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.

Typo: I meant... by putting all of the *tileset* files into the override, not toolset files. Lol. Sorry about that.
