Could some kind soul please test something for me I'm trying to download the Conan Chronicles 2 The Zamorian Chronicles from the vault and managed fine with all the files except 1 It is the hak_files_v0.94 file not the 2da or addon hak the plain one.

Only problem is I just get redirected to IGN, some woman's picture and Super Mario instead of the usual run/save box, all I want to know is if it's just me or whether something's happpened to the file.

Thank you..

Thank you fellow yeti at least it's not just me, but it could be a scary thing though if the vault is eating files ! Guess my Conan will have to have a break until it returns he wont be happy but being a barbarian he's quite used to raging.

This error message occurs when the file is no longer available on the vault.

I am sorry but I cannot help you: I have downloaded a bunch of mods from the vault but unfortunately not this one. You have to wait for someone who can provide an alternative link or who can upload it elsewhere for you...

Thanks for the info hopefully I'll never see it again though. It's just very strange that there is no file as I can't see a "seasoned" modder like Mr McA forgetting to replace a hak pak he deleted I've posted on the mod and will have to wait and see now.

He couldn't have deleted it since it's too large for personal control, the Vault has to add/delete.

he might be trying to fix up the .hak for issues that seem to occur on Macs. I think it involves just eliminating the .hak and putting the files in, say an override directory (or the module or campaign directory?). Keep an eye out for a .zip with those files ...

Unless it's been updated lately, I think I have the files in my computer. I'll see if I can send that one to you, but it may take a while to upload...

kevL.. But wouldn't you just write not for Macs on the one that works knowing how long the vault can take to put things up.

kamal_ The plot thickens but you can't have a Conan that cant "hak" and can only slash can you.. It just wouldn't be right !

Arkalezth.. Thank you for the kind offer and I appreciate it let me know if you find it or send it somewhere for me to collect, there's no rush and I might head off for a tangle in Fanglewood whilst my override file is cleared out and I'm on a modding break.

I had the extracted files, I compressed the ones you need and the resulting file is 150 MB, while on the Vault is listed as 285... I used 7zip, so maybe that's the reason.

I tried uploading to Dropbox but got an error. I'll try again and see if it works this time...

BTW, I played that module with a barbarian too, but I left it unfinished because I felt it was designed with a party in mind. So you may want to create a party and not just a single char when you finally play.

Arkalezth.. Thank you for doing this for me it's much appreciated whatever happens I think you're going to beat the vault so far as time taken for me to get it so that's good news.

With regards to needing a party I'll definitely heed that advice after all you've played more mods than me, I only just finished the first three mods and found them hard going but somehow managed not to hit the respawn ( I think luck more than judgement ) .

Sorry but I can't get this working. Basic upload gives me a "connection was reset" error, enhanced upload, "flash error"...

I'll let you know if I manage to upload it, but no luck for now.

Edit: Well, a file appears to have uploaded somehow. Not sure if it'll work, but try this: http://dl.dropbox.co..._Files_v0.94.7z

If you can download it correctly, see if the module works fine, the file size has probably something to do with the format but I still find it a bit odd.

It seems to be working there were a whole bunch of haks in that file and each one took a while to go into NWN2 so must have been full of something, the game loaded up no problem too so it's all looking good.

Many many thanks Arkalezth, you have just made an axe wielding long haired savage very happy and I'm sure my PC will be too !

Heh, glad it worked. I'll keep it up for now in case anyone else needs it, I'll remove it if the link at the Vault gets fixed, or if I need the space in my Dropbox folder.

I should play that module myself again, hopefully to the end this time.

I've edited the topic so people can see what it's about in case they're looking. If they're not then I'd like to know how they can possibly play the mod as I couldn't even open it with the toolset without the hak.

Arkalezth.. Just to let you know the hak works fine I just finished the mod.. Thank you, it still hasn't got changed on the vault yet so I would have been in for a long wait without your copy.

Now I'm having grief from this forum it wont let me post then does it twice ( Perhaps it's got something to do with IGN and Bioware being rather close to one another these days and the vault was listening )

Glad it worked. Did you finally play a single character, or a full party? I might play it soon, but if I make a party, I'm not sure of how many members it should have.

You actually wouldn't have been in for a long wait. :) I found this topic a few days after Ark supplied you with the hak, but if he hadn't, I would have done it.

Tchos.. What a fine community we have here ! It actually might be a good idea to start loading up a hard drive with mods from the vault in case things from people that have gone elsewhere start disappearing and they're not on the nexus.

Arkalezth.. I played it as a single character, sided with the black wolves, left Rodriguez in the tavern and only reloaded once due to a failed will save with no chance of escape. My Conan was a pure barbarian battle axe specialist but a word of warning if you go to the Yoggite area hide your stuff before acting drunk in the tavern as I lost all mine and had to buy a new axe but couldn't get one as good as the original.

I'm thinking of having a go with a party as I have quite a few PC's of that level from when I tested Fairy Tale and I think it could be quite amusing to have huge battles with them all together. But for now I've headed back to the toolset.

When I played (with a barbarian/frezerker), I did fine for the most part, until...

*SPOILERS* I reached an area with enemies that stunned on hit (probably the one you mention). With my will save, that was a death sentence. That, coupled with one or two overwhelming fights I found not long before, and the mention of a multiplayer focus on the module's page, got me thinking that I should probably try another time with more than one character. *END SPOILERS*

Good to know that you managed to finish it solo, though. Maybe I can try that again with a different quest order (if possible) or something, we'll see.

I had the same stunning enemies problem in part one below a crypt but it was only an optional area and my fearless warrior ran away with his tail between his legs not very Conanish but there weren't any witnesses.

I found that rage and a great cleave helped a lot with dealing with the ones in part 2 as it knocked the numbers down quickly meaning you weren't stunned for too long. But the will save I was on about comes during a conversation with a rather nasty cult leader, fail the save and you die, so I died. Then returned with every available buff/potion on and in full rage and passed it. I know it's cheating but you could actually call up a previous character using the party menu, grab an amulet/ buffing stuff then send them back. I was tempted to strip "Anna the Axewoman Heroine of Serene" of all her stuff when I tested what the party menu did as I've never used one. But I passed my will save and decided against it.

Sorry to poke in and a bit late, but thanks very much Arkalazth for posting the hak zip. I was informed on the Vault. I have uploaded again and am waiting for the file to be attached. Hopefully it will be OK.

I saw the other comments. I think the stunning enemies were the ghouls in what I call a deathtrap level, as in you are dumped there from a pit. The idea is to get out climbing up the cave wall to the bridge I think.

And the cult leader, well there is an encounter with him on the top floor of the house which if successful also improves your chances with subsequently resisting his charms. There are quite a few mind spell save buffs lying around the area.

And you should get all your stuff back. There is a cell in the crypts, to the south of the area with the fire pit, with all your stuff there. I checked the scripts recently, and made sure they work even if your inventory is totally full and you have stuff in bags of holding. Possibly too late to get your axe back, though.

I really meant it to be single player, with companions (apart from the area above), but made it multiplayer so I could play with my friend to help debugging, and because I want to support a traditional P&P type party, but my friend has never even got through the wilderness into Castle Haloga yet!! So we are playing Fall of the Samurai...Sad but true. And my wife never got past the second wolf

Thanks again for providing the module download support!

John

Thanks for the fix. BTW, I saw you've uploaded it to the Nexus, but the link here says "hidden file". Apparently, you need to make it public.

*SPOILERS* The area I was talking about... I don't remember many details, but it was a big building (of some sect perhaps?) where you lose your equipment and can use a table as your shield. A room had a group of undead with stunning attacks, but it was a normal room, not a pit. *END SPOILERS*

I don't remember any companion joining me. I don't know if they join later, or if I just didn't find them. Hence, my comments about single player assumed no companions. So, soloing with certain classes (spellcasters mainly) could be easier than with others, but if companions are available, that might change things.

John McA.. It certainly was a death trap level I just reloaded a save and left the trap alone ! As for the missing equipment in a way I'm kind of glad I didn't find where it was as it made hunting around better and still wasn't impossible to restock my inventory very well again, but it's nice to know it's there just in case I mess up on a re run.

Arkalezth..I kept the door shield with me to the end as I thought it matched my brutal Conan rather well as he strolled around the city with a door on his arm and it gave me a lot of amusement. I wasn't too worried about the dexterity penalty as everything I had was put into strength and constitution.

There was one thief companion that tried to join me but we fell out during our first conversation, he appears when you beat up some muggers, and another one ( a female guild leader ) that I only learnt about reading the comments on the vault and although I spared her and helped her gang I didn't return to pick her up but I think I will when I return to investigate the elephant tower. There could be more but I'm not sure.
