This is Part 1 of a step by step guide for a Beginner to making Custom Load Hints for your modules!
I have played many many NWN2 Single Player modules and just WISHED more modules would use them! I feel it really adds that �special touch� and especially if you are not using a Forgotten Realms setting, using Custom Load Hints, can really help the player get the �feel� of your new world!
They are not that hard to make! Even a beginner can learn to make these! So I created this guide in hopes more module makers will use them.
NOTE: I have the Mask of the Betrayer Expansion Pack, and I am unsure if you HAVE to have this for this to work. If you do NOT have the Mask of the Betrayer Expansion Pack, I am unsure if this will work for you. Feedback on this would be greatly appreciated!
This Guide uses TlkEdit2 (link is provided) that is on the vault, as well as the default text editor for Windows, Notepad.
Requirements to use this guide:
You know how to find and copy 2DA�s in the \Atari\Neverwinter Nights 2\ directory.
You know how to copy and move files on your computer.
You know how to make a module (a simple 1 area module is enough for this Guide).
NWN2 Patch 1.10 or greater.
Please at least leave feedback on if this guide was helpful to you. I will not know if I should continue this guide, unless you leave feedback on if this guide was helpful to you.

The only reason that this is a 9 is because your part II is a 10! Great info... thanks! _________________________ Teaching is about having students create their own understanding of the world. Grade One Module Report: Word Doc

Ah, thank you! I was wondering what I was doing wrong until I read about the whole 16777216 magic number here. :-)
Thank you for the comments and votes! I appreciate it. I am almost finished with Part 2, and am trying to cram as much info in there as possible. _________________________ NWN2 Rugs - Tapestries - New Wall Textures - New Floor Textures - Custom Load Hints! Spice up your mod today! Link

Pretty good guide. I hope you will make a chapter 2, this one is a bit basic but i still learned a few things.
So, quite a few downloads.... was this helpful at all to anyone? Since I am not getting any comments, I'm unsure if I should continue with Chapter 2. If this was helpful, a comment at least would be much appreciated! _________________________ NWN2 Rugs - Tapestries - New Wall Textures - New Floor Textures - Custom Load Hints!

Glad it is working for you now The Cow King. Part 1 just covers basic creation of Custom Load Hints. If you look in the X1 2DA files, look for nwn2_tips.txt. It explains that in more detail. Chapter 2 will discuss those settings as well. _________________________ NWN2 Rugs - Tapestries - New Wall Textures - New Floor Textures - Custom Load Hints! Spice up your mod today! Link
Ok I read it hoping it would have explained the weighting and gamestate variables and how they work in the tutorial, because that's the only thing I didnt know beforehand.
I just tried and it is working fine for me The Cow King. Perhaps the IGN servers were having some problems earlier? _________________________ NWN2 Rugs - Tapestries - New Wall Textures - New Floor Textures - Custom Load Hints! Spice up your mod today! Link
