CEP 2.65 (Community Expansion Pack)
Author: The NWN Community, CEP Teams, and The Amethyst Dragon
The Community Expansion Pack (CEP) is a large hak pak collection of free, community-made custom content. Most of the included material comes from content previously posted on the Neverwinter Vault sites by independent users. Additional content has come from contributors to the Custom Content Challenge, several updates from Project Q, and other content developed specifically for the CEP. Included content is organized to function properly together, with necessary updates made to models, scripts, and .2da files. The CEP is intended to be a "universal" download - players can download this single package to access a large number of modules and persistent worlds that otherwise would have each required their own individual downloads.
Builders using the CEP for their module have the option of selecting which CEP content appears in-game. Content from the core CEP does not override default Neverwinter Nights content, nor does it affect modules that don't specifically use the CEP. The Community Expansion Pack has been very successful over the years, and many long-term players have found the CEP to be as vital to Neverwinter Nights as the official BioWare expansion packs.

Nah, the download probably got corrupted.
mods like gladiatrix(3parts) require cep 2.6. Downloaded the lastest build here, and the game will not load saying it is missing tlk files. will download 2.6 instead of the latest file. just a heads up, not sure what is causing it, but something is missing somewhere.
@kenmei071 you need to install all the .tlk files that come with the current download in your tlk folder to ensure backward compatibility.
I want to start a new module with a new character, but every colour looks like chrome.
Using NWN 1.69 + CEP 2.65 ...
Check that you have removed any custom content from overide / patch haks, and have the CEP haks in the recommended order in your module.
Anyone else having issues with creating armor using 2.65 where shoulders set to 0 show a shoulder piece? The empty part is way further down randomly. Is this intended as it kind of seems counter intuitive in the process of quickly running all parts to a empty starting design.
Apart from that I really appreciate the seperation of the filler content into the sb file! CEP has come a humongous leap forward since its incarnation. Keep up the great work even if its minor tweaking its greatly appreciated for a game such as NWN.

Try downloading and injecting the Quickfix (down one slot from the 2_65 mian).
After importing cep2_add_sb_v1.erf I'm getting a "List index out of bounds (120)" error whenever I try to build the module. Seems to always stop at zep_aribeth when compiling. Does anyone know what's going on?
EDIT: Seems to have just been some sort of conflict with cep and one of my other haks. Made all of the custom armors unusable so I had to delete them.
Is anyone else getting an access violation error when trying to paint a custom CEP item into the only area in the mod "CEP - Starter 265 - All the Optional Haks" using the latest NWN:EE build 8193.13? Or do i have to do something to make it work? I just redownloaded the CEP and have not altered the mod in any way. I can paint standard items but not CEP items. I have an old nvidia card so maybe I am just sol as there will be no updated drivers for my old card.
See the image of the toolset error. Sometimes I get that, other times I cannot even see and select items in the custom pallete. Do I need to import the erfs? aren't they already imported in all those haks?
PS: of course just importing cep2_add_sb_v1.erf added some stuff to the palette but not as much as I had in the palette when getting those errors. Not sure what I had in there now, maybe I had imported too much. Are there some included erfs that are incompatible with others?
Anyhoo, the CEP is awesome, thanks!
