I have installed PRC and CEP 2.2 to a Nordock server I plan on putting up for myself and a few old friends to play on.  The problem that I am having are these.
1.)  When the module gets loaded single player game the PRC classes are there but the new base classes I can not pick to start a character.
2.)  When the module gets loaded for Lan/Internet connection, the PRC is not there. (meaning the base classes of NWN and Expansions are the only classes you have to choose from)  I have pretty much everything turned off before loading the module as well.  Like the Allow Local Characters....Enforce Legal Characters is also turned off. (friend thought that might work, but it didn't)

I am not real sure what the difference between the two would be I am kind of stumped.  I know that we used to play on a Nordock server that had PRC installed and it was a blast, so I am fairly certain that the module can have PRC installed, but as my luck usually goes, I can not make heads or tails of this and it is a little beyond being frustrated at this point.

1.) In multi-player, new Classes & Races don't show up or aren't selectable at character generation.  This is a hardcoded limitation, blame Bioware.

2.)  There is an offline Java character creator to get around this limitation.

3.)  If you don't want to use the JavaCC then you will have to setup a database to use as a backend for the in-game ConvoCC.  You will also have to set up the module to use the ConvoCC.  This can be tricky but does in fact work well when set up properly.

Well I grabbed all the Downloads from your download page including the server pack 1.8.  I thought that was basically what I needed to run the server correct?  I am kind of new to this and I have not played NWN in about 2-3 years, so I am starting new again.(old and forgot what all I had learned from building and hosting servers, heh)  If you could help with walking me through this I would be forever in your debt.  Or if you could point me some where to read up on it.  Any help at all would be appreciated.  Thanks

Since I'm working on Ranger Jim's Nordock mod now I feel free to close this thread since problems as described in the original post have been solved. Help from DM Heartstroke helped a LOT. Thanks heaps!
