This project can no longer be supported by its author. If you want to take it from there and carry on its vision, please contact the author for transfer
If you do want to take up the project, all that I ask for is that you mention the initial author (Thunderblade_33) and contributors (MokagTGS and Dragonsbane777) in your entry. This one will be kept for legacy purposes and redirect to yours.
It would be a shame if 3C died. Placeables, Items/Armor, and PC Parts are the heavy hitters and that means only 3 people. The other categories could be drastically less work and other people would be more likely to step forward for it.
Content Release v1.00
Builder files v1.00.11.0
What version numbers mean:
- Haks: 1 . [3C update] (ex: 1.00)
- Builder Files: 1 . [3C update] . [MotB patch update] . [3C builder/2da files update] (ex: 1.00.11.0)
- Players only need to worry about the [3C Update] version. The other numbers are for builders.
*Content + 2da updates to be expected every few months, depending on the amount of content releases on the Vault.
*2da updates to be expected 1-2 weeks after NWN2 patch and hotfixes.
What is 3C? The Community Content Compilation (3C) is an initiative to make custom content more easily available for use by the community as a whole.
Using a single repository for the content prevents useless duplication of files that shouldn't be duplicated in the first place. It's also more convenient for builders and players alike, as they would have fewer haks to worry about. Your module-specific haks can now be much smaller, and focus on module-specific changes instead of having to also worry about merging all the nice vault models together.
This package's goal is also to further recognize and reward the artists' work by putting their creations in a widely useable format, showcasing their talent to more builders and as a consequence to more players.
the 3C initiative is intended as a COMMUNITY project. To send an update or an improvement of any kind, either post about it below or email me or MokahTGS.
What 3C is NOT about 3C is not the CEP. It's more specialized. Unlike the CEP (Community Expansion Pack) for NWN1, 3C specializes on base models, content, and only the 2DA files to make it work. No fluff. For your convenience, it does not (and will never) contain any scripts, TLKs, GUIs and the like. Those files are the sole domain of specialized ruleset haks and of whoever builds their own module.
Who made 3C? First of all, the authors of all the content provided both in this pack and on the vault (list available below).
Their work was compiled by MokahTGS and Thunderblade_33 and, in the case of the music compilation, by Dragonsbane777.
* 3C_core_areas.hak
Tilesets, doors, terrain and grass.
* 3C_core_armors.hak
Body armor, clothes, hats, cloaks, boots, gloves and belts. All race/gender supported releases only.
* 3C_core_creatures.hak
Creatures of all kinds.
* 3C_core_pcparts.hak
Wings, tails, faces, hairstyles and the like for Player Characters
* 3C_core_items.hak
weapons, shields, holdables and item icons.
* 3C_core_placeables.hak
Placeables. The gargantuan lot of them.
* 3C_core_vfx.hak
VFX files compilation.
How to Download and Install
To unpack 7z archives (and pretty much every known compressed file type), use the completely free program 7-zip, available at Link
Players: download and place the latest version of the 3C haks in your My Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2/hak folder. If you want to use the haks in your module without further changes, also grab the 2da hak from the "toolset files" download. That's all.
Builders: In addition to the above, you will need to place the loose 2das in your override, add the toolset icons to your toolset folder (instructions provided) and add the blueprints erf to your module.
Haks are compatible with all versions. 2DAs are MotB's, so you will be able to use them but will see MotB + 3C entries in the NWN2 toolset.
For further help with installation, first see this article by Heed about installing custom content in NWN2: Link
Extra Content Packages Look over there for affiliated 3C packages. They integrate seamlessly with the core haks.

Is there a forum or place where this group gathers? I am wondering because it might be a better place for folks to post bugs and offer support rather than this (now long) series of posts here.

Don't get it wrong: The authors deserve all the credit. We just pushed it into a single place. Nothin' but file clerks here. _________________________ Mokah - The Grumpy Strumpet || Dear Strumpet Letters || Jabberwocky Development Blog || Vertex I - The State of the Union ||

This is what NWN2 builders need! All the content people have worked amazingly on in one download- no fluff. Please keep it up- the less I have to convolute my NWN2 folders with tons of files the happier I am. And to the various builders to which most credit goes to- THANK YOU!

3C does make the content. 3C is only a compilation of what the content authors produce. You want more content: Praise the content authors. They feed off it like ravenous space hampsters.

I am looking forward to seeing more content. Maybe some great animals or underwater things?

wildernand: There is not a single 2DA in 3C that would do what you are claiming in regards to skills. This is not a 3C problem and so your concerns, while regretible, are not caused by 3C content. I would suspect you have files in your override that are causing your issues. _________________________ Mokah - The Grumpy Strumpet || Dear Strumpet Letters || Jabberwocky Development Blog || Vertex I - The State of the Union ||

@meykeru-sensei: this is for builders and end users, but only for player created content such as modules and persistent worlds; while these could be hooked into the OC and MotB, they would have to be unhooked each time you update the game.

quick question here just starting with modding NWN2. My main question is this: is this content meant for builders (wich i'm not),or does it include content that alter the official campaign (without manually having to alter it)?
Posted by ladydesire at 2008-04-2012:41:26
@wildernand: To the best of my knowledge, this content does nothing that should affect the Player Character in the way you are complaining about. Are you sure you posted your complaint in the proper entry?
10 - A Masterpiece, Genuinely Groundbreaking 9 - Outstanding, a Must Have 8 - Excellent, Recommended to Anyone 7 - Very Good, Deserves a Look 6 - Good, Qualified Recommendation 5 - Fair, Solid yet Unremarkable 4 - Some Merit, Requires Improvements 3 - Poor Execution, Potential Unrealized 2 - Very Little Appeal 1 - Not Recommended to Anyone
