Starter Chest Mod

Description
Hey, new Enhanced Edition didn't include base classes from expansions for main campaign so your new character won't get any items from the player\'s chest right after the tutorial! This is my solution made mostly for myself. A flawed script which gives you items no matter the class, and specific classes get new items.



If it doesn't work, move files from documents in \'neverwinter nights 2 campaign\' to main game campaign folder also named \'neverwinter nights 2 campaign\'



POSSIBLE PROBLEMS
---
It might be problematic because NWN 2 EE has created a new folder called "Neverwinter Nights 2 EE" INSIDE your game folder.

so your path is probably going to look like this:

Your Drive:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\NWN2 Enhanced Edition\Neverwinter Nights 2 EE

There you can find exact copies of the folders. Yes, the third folder with data to make it even more confusing.

The files you downloaded can be found here;
Your Drive:\\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\2738630 [/b]

and here there is this mod in the folder "3527438776[/b]"

Inside you can find "campaigns" and "override"

Just copy them and put in your main game folder.


Look for the folder:

Your Drive:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\NWN2 Enhanced Edition\campaigns\neverwinter nights 2 campaign

and there put files from "campaigns/neverwinter nights 2 campaign" folder from my mod.

Override to override just like it should be.

Got it to work. The issue I was having was because it requires png images rather than jpg images for previews. I'll write up a guide and post it.

Sadly I don't know if I can help. I used this program once. It was mention to delete old projects before changing the number of the game in the file. That's all I know.

I was able to get the Steam Workshop Uploader from github and am trying to write up instructions for adding tags but I cannot get past "Validating mod pack..." when I hit Submit. I'm not sure why nothing seems to be happening. The json is updated and if it is a new item a blank NWN2EE item is created in the Workshop under my account. What did you have to do to make it work?

Only Swashbuckler is missing in that mod.

Incidentally there is another mod I found that also alters the starter chest: https://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn2/other/nwn2-oc-starting-equipment-fix

I found the github link to the Steam Workshop Uploader and will try it out. Thanks. I'd like to use the tags though it isn't critical.

I think having your item separate chest makes sense since some people will shy away from using my Complete Makeover. More choices is good. I just don't want someone using my mods to complain that they are broken when the reason is a conflicting mod. I found that the time to troubleshoot such things can be extensive and I did all of that 12 years ago.

Your scripts are fine but your installation instructions could be improved. Nothing you have needs to be in any folder except override and there is no need for subscribers to move anything because NWN2 EE will look in the folders that workshop creates for content.

Check the discussion in the workshop where I did send a link to Nexus.
Someone helped me there.

Nice... I wouldn't mind if my version would become obsolete because... I'm not good at scripts.

My Complete Makeover also makes the following changes to this same chest:
There is a chest for provisioning in the initial room at the start of Act I. The chest has been enhanced to include the recipe books, a Campaigners Guide that explains features of the Makeover, a few coins of life, and recognizes the player classes introduced in MoTB and SoZ. The chest will provide equipment when opened by the main PC and any created party members.

If you have the Makeover installed and also subscribe to this mod then this mod will override the Makeover.

Can confirm that I've had this installed and had at least the first two achievements pop.
