Help! CEP Update gone bad.

[blazingezus]

So I discovered there was a CEP update done last year (CEP 2.6) so I thought I would add that to my files. Well somehow I screwed something up and all my HG Enhancements like spells are gone. Well I know for sure it's spells because I was in the middle of reinc my wiz and I noticed none of the hg enhanced spells were available to me. So I don't know what to do from here. I know I screwed something up I just don't know what or how. Yes I'm now aware doing an update when I have characters to reinc is not a good idea. So if I could get some help to figure this out that would be great!

The only hint I can give is a what seems to be a zip file of 2da files is now in my NWN Diamond folder. I don't want to do anything with them in case I make things worse. Do I leave them there or do I put them in another folder? If I do move them what folder should I move them to? I don't see any 2da files in any of my other folders.

Should I just uninstall and reinstall everything or will that screw up my reinc?

[blazingezus]

So I have played the game since I did the CEP update and I ran and update in ARF, but nothing seems to bring back the HG enhanced spells. I don't know if that's the only thing I no longer have, it's just the most obvious. So let me know if I need to reinstall the game and start from scratch,and are their any files I should save to keep everything the same?

[blazingezus]

Ok so I'm getting an error message when I try to reinstall the CEP_23_Full_C.7z file. I don't know what the deal is, so I could really use some help. I get the same message whether I try and update from my local file or the web. The web error message is shown below.

when log on the server are you on enhmode ? to see type this command !enhmode this turn it on and off each time you type it, you need to check in your combat log if enhmode is on enable

It looks like your CEP file is corrupted. Download a fresh one and try again?

[blazingezus]

Here is a screen shot of some of my spells after I have downloaded and new cep_23_full_7z file and performed and update. I have also put a screen shot of my arf2 folder because it seems to be missing a file I think it's the 7z file if I'm not mistaken. So I do not know what is going wrong in the process. Below is what my log looked like after the download, so maybe that will help one of you understand what is going wrong. I'm urgent to have this figured out so I can continue reinc my Wiz (which doesn't seem to have her full LL exp Admin please look at that post) and my Staff Master.

If worse come to worse I will just reinc with out the enhanced spells and ask for a kind person to provide me with the scrolls needed to replace them.

I'm just going to reinstall the game. I just want to know if there is anything I should do to maintain what I currently have. Should I reinc my toons before reinstalling? Are their any files I should keep before I reinstall? Please let me know ASAP so I can get this game back to normal.

Keep the CEP file:
neverwintervault.org/sites/all/modules/pubdlcnt/pubdlcnt.php?file=https://neverwintervault.org/sites/neverwintervault.org/files/project/206/files/cep_23_full.7z&nid=206

the modified executable:
dl.hgweb.org/client/nwmain-169-hg.7z

the Higher Ground Enhanced hak:
dl.hgweb.org/hak/hghak_gui-beta28.en.rar


Those are the "must-haves", although technically the enhanced hak isn't required


ps- From what I see, you may just need to drop the enhanced hak into the hak folder and check to be sure !enhmode is on, instead of a full reinstall(but I could easily be wrong)

Thanks for your help! I ended up having to reinstall it for some reason and everything is ok now!
