Swordflight Installation Instructions

Ok, so you want to play Rogueknight333's Swordflight but where do you download it from and how do you install it? Well, this post should help newbies who have never installed a NWN module before.

Here is the basic process that I am going to describe in detail:

• Install and patch Neverwinter Nights 1
• Download all the Swordflight archives and extract them
• Put the Swordflight files into the correct NWN folders
• Play the game

Step 1: Patch the Game

First things first, make sure NWN is patched to 1.69. Even if it's the GoG version I would run this to be sure, as some people have had problems getting community content to work, which the patch seemed to fix each time. So, patch your game!

In addition I suggest you completely back up your pristine Neverwinter Nights install to somewhere safe before you starting messing around with it, just in case you stuff something up. You will also need 7-Zip to extract the zip and 7z archives, so grab it here if you don't already have it. Done that? Ok...

Step 2: Download the Archives & Extract the Files

The Swordflight Series currently consists of five Chapters, with a sixth planned later down the track. Download the files from neverwintervault.org, which I've linked to directly for your convenience:

• Swordflight Chapter 1: Download this archive
• Swordflight Chapter 2: Download this archive and this archive
• Swordflight Chapter 3: Download this archive and this archive
• Swordflight Chapter 4: Download this archive and this archive
• Swordflight Chapter 5: Download this archive and this archive.
• Community Tileset Project: Download this archive (ctp common 04072009.7z), this archive (ctp loadscreens 04072009.7z), and this archive (ctp dwarf hall.rar)
• CTP Babylon: Download this archive (ctp_babylon_1_2.7z)
• Lord of Worms & Arbor Falls Haks: Download this archive (wrm_seasonalv10.7z)
• Senemenelas Interior Tilesets: Download this archive (senunderdark.7z)

Downloaded them? Ok, use 7-Zip to extract these archives somewhere temporary (ie, NOT in your NWN installation folder); the process may take a while because of all the content.

Done that? Ok, lets go through these one at a time...

Step 3: Put the Files into the Correct Folders

tl;dr: Put each chapter's module file into your NWN modules folder, which is found in the game's root installation folder.

• First, open the swordflight_chapter_one folder and place the Swordflight - Chapter One.mod into your NWN modules folder. That's it! Swordflight Chapter One is now installed; it requires no other files.
• Second, open the swordflight_chapter_two folder and place the Swordflight - Chapter Two.mod into your NWN modules folder.
• Third, open the swordflight_chapter_three folder and place the Swordflight - Chapter Three.mod into your NWN modules folder.
• Fourth, open the swordflight_chapter_four_v2 folder and place the Swordflight - Chapter Four.mod into your NWN modules folder.
• Do the same for Chapter 5.

tl;dr: Put each chapter's hak file into your NWN hak folder. Then, put the required custom content haks into your NWN hak folder as well.

Now, lets install the other content required by the second, third, fourth and fifth chapters (i.e, haks):

• Next, open the swordflight_hak folder and place SwordflightA.hak into your NWN haks folder.
• Open the swordflight_hakb folder and place SwordflightB.hak into your NWN haks folder.
• Open the swordflightc folder and place SwordflightC.hak into your NWN haks folder.
• Open the ctp_common 04072009 folder and place the ctp common.hak into your NWN haks folder.
• Open the ctp_loadscreens 04072009 folder and place the ctp loadscreens.hak into your NWN haks folder.
• Open the ctp_babylon_1_2 folder and place the ctp_babylon.hak into your NWN haks folder.
• Open the ctp_dwarf_hall folder and place the ctp_dwarf_hall.hak into your NWN hak folder.
• Open the wrm_seasonalv10 folder and place the wrmseasonalv10.hak into your NWN hak folder.
• Lastly, open the senunderdark folder and place the sen-underdark.hak into your NWN hak folder.

The Swordflight Series is now installed. Enjoy!

Make sure you're running Swordflight from a pristine 1.69 CR install. The popular CPP, TK's and Project Q may cause issues, so I don't recommend installing them.
