Rebuild..Help!

Unread postby Iona7 » 1 Sep 12, 2:24 pm

My p.c. is in need of a rebuild and as you all know I am illiterate in that area. I have a friend who can do the rebuild np but is a stranger to our wonderful world.

Soooo what I need to know is what is needed to reinstall (I have heaps of files, very confusing) so he can reinstall what is necessary for me to continue to enjoy. Hope that is understandable.

Heaps of thanks in advance,

Iona

NWN + two expansion packs.
Then add 1.69 patch.
Next add all the custom content files. Check the page on the wiki for all of them.
Finally you will likely need to play around with the settings to get it working properly.

I would just take a copy of your NWN directory and put it aside, then when you have reinstalled the game and all expansions, just copy the old folder over the new one. I have used this method a number of times and had no problem.

You could even just copy the old folder straight over and then run the NWN Updater; it'll actually rebuild the registry entries automatically so it's pretty much "reinstalled" without actually going through the reinstall process.
