I am new here, and admittedly overwhelmed with all the new toys, but after a few glitches, I have managed to get everthing working. I downloaded some modules to test the CEP+PRC merge and successfully merged SQ2(Shadow's Quietus II), which is a 54 MB module. My CC created character loaded perfectly into the test mod. I also downloaded the Aielund Saga series, and will see if hakpaks conflict.
I was really exited to find this site, as I am stuck with an old laptop at my apartment with no internet access. Now I can try to learn all this new stuff. Thank you to all the developers who keep NWN 1 alive and well.
And yes, I downloaded the manual. Damn, are you kidding me? That is an incredible amount of work.
