Changes for the New Year
I will no longer be releasing my content pack to the public or for single player use. Baldur's Gate has now taken some of my 100% custom content that was not based on pen and paper and added it despite me asking them not to. I'm deeply disturbed by their staff's continued actions and frankly with some of the player base of that server that is also on other servers with my content that has no trouble with their actions.
This change means that new content will not be available on the nwn2 builder site or on my personal site or released to the public (nwvault, nwn nexus).
A few of the incidents can be read about at these links: Link , Link , and Link
These are quotes from Rasael, the developer on BG responsible for this:
We certainly don't intend to copy your designs, not soley because you don't want us to but also because it simply wouldn't work for our hobby here.
Your designs are meant for generic settings with a higher base powerlevel. Our designs are meant for a low power environment in the Sword Coast region of Faerun. Those two don't match, meaning that inspiration is the most a design proposal from your pack can ever be.
If you really don't want it to happen put a big notice about that on the design page that others may not reproduce (e.a. copy) it and don't make it publically available.
This is a summation of what I tried to tell Luna in the BG thread linked above:
I left the server in the past with no ill will to the server, just a disagreement with how things were done. I'm 100% ok with the server changing anything/everything that is in the 1.41.4 update. I do NOT want anything after 1.41.4 to be used by the server. It's that simple.
and Luna's (the server admin) response:
I'm not going to enforce this. Neither will TheVoid or Maecius.
v1.42.1 is publicly posted on nwn2 vault.
If any player or developer wants to look at, talk about, or use the content of that version, I don't see any reason to stop them. Your work is sitting out there in the public domain for public usage.
Yet Rasael recently stated the following in response to an announcement that I'll be stopping public work:
Secondly, Baldurs Gate has never made use of any idea not publicized on the internet by its author without his permission.
Then on December 31st they posted a server update ( Link ) that includes 7 of my 100% custom, not based on pnp in any way, feats.
So the only way for me to actually stop them from continuing to take content against my permission is to stop doing public content. That means single players and the NWN2DB builder will no longer be getting my updates.
It's been a long, eventful five and a half years and I'd like to thank the community for their support on this project while it lasted. It's been a great experience. You can find the latest descriptions of my content at Link in the Library after selecting Kaedrin's Class Pack as the game version.
This file is the single player version of release 1.42.1 which will work with the Official Campaign, Mask of the Betrayer, and Storm of Zehir. This *requires* MotB and SoZ. Please clear out the old version of my stuff as this version has a MAJOR restructure!!!
What??? No more releases?? I don't know the whole story; regardless, this is a very sad news. Can you not also just release this current version? It is also needed in Cyphre's PrC Pack.

WWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT! You can't stop your work, you have an obligation to your fans (and I'm one too), please rethink about this, there is must another way. Your work is a true masterpiece(like the facelift pack) and with your pack I can play the campaign in billions of different ways and that mean something.

I had accidently saved the KaedPRCPack_v1.42.1_Override_Dialogtlk.7z as a word doc and I don't think it is working because of that. What should I have saved it as and how do I switch it to what it needs to be saved as?

hello you could create a mod that works with other languages in addition to English? that's great also that the descriptions are in English, because now there is nothing written.thank you very much

Forgot to vote. Very few things truly deserve a 10, and this is one of them.

I only have a single problem with this - the descriptions of the spells do not reflect the changes to whether they are affected by spell resistance. Examples include web, cloud of bewilderment, curse of impending blades. For quite a while I thought that SR was broken entirely. But that's just a minor thing. This is absolutely wonderful, wonderful work. Thank you so much for it.

A great work indeed. While it is sad that Obsidian does not support this great game anymore, Kaedrin's work is greatly expanding the joy and gaming experience of NWN2. This PrC pack is really fun to use. I cannot but give this full-10.0 score. By the way, I have one question. Does this pack fix the SR penetration bug for Warlock's Eldritch Blast? If not, does this pack work with other override script which fixes this problem, such as Saralch's Invocation Pack?

Did the pack's actual contents just disappear from the vault? I can only download the dialog.tlk file; there's no link for the rest of it, not even the older versions. The link on Kaedrin's website doesn't work either, I get a 404 message. I got a new computer and was installing NWN2 and all the trimmings, so I can't even use the old version that I downloaded before. Any help would be appreciated.

@ Arcantron: It seems that you haven't copied/overwritten the included dialog.tlk to the appropriate places.. - this file needs to be in the install directory of NWN 2 (by default it's "C:\Program Files (x86)\Atari\Neverwinter Nights 2\") and also in the "..\My Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2\" and/or "..\My Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2\tlk\"-folder!!! But don't forget to make a backup of the original dialog.tlk file(s) first in case you want everything as it was before installing the mod!!! *^_^* _________________________ Cyphre's Companions Pack v0.75.2 | Cyphre's Dual-Wieldable Flails Heavy Flails v1.2 | Cyphre's PrC Pack v0.75 | Cyphre's Remove Annoying Effects Extension (Tortoise Shell) v1.0

I'm having some difficulty installing this, I've never installed anything for this game before and decided to get back into it. I unzip all the files into my override folder correct? Whenever I level up I see all the slots and the appropriate emblem for each class, but no name and I can't select them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
