Shaper of Dreams: Chapter 4 and 5
EXCITING NEWS: After months of work, the translation of Chapter 5 is complete and ready for download here as well!
Here, at long last, is Chapter 4 (and now 5) from FFG's Shaper of Dreams. Your party finally reaches the planes, landing in Sigil on their way to the Abyss. Will our heroine find a gateway to the Abyss or will the City of Doors become a Cage for her as it does for so many others?
Many years ago I translated chapter 4 for Milena. It did get uploaded briefly to the old vault, but just before it got shut down and somehow did not make the migration, though I believe this chapter is available on NEXUS. So with Milena's permission I am uploading it here. I went through and corrected the (very many) typos I had left behind and the many things (creatures, inventory items, scripted bark strings etc) that got missed the first time. I gave it a single playthrough and caught a few more things. Nonetheless, I am sure there are still typos and untranslated items. So please let me know if you find them.
I will eventually complete the translation for Chapter 6. Chapter 5 took me about 6 months (I started in June) so probably sometime next year, after I've finished my own module, I will dive into Chapter 6 and complete the saga.
INSTALLATION:
Install the first three chapters (available here: https://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn2/module/planescape-shaper-dreams)
Replace that campaign folder with this one in your campaigns folder. Replace that charis2da.hak with this one in the hak folder. Put both new module files in your modules folder
Enjoy.

Thank you so very much for doing this! It's GREAT to see this alive. :)
Thanks for this! I have not played these in many years. What is the PC's level at the beginning of Ch 4?
Hi. Glad to give you a chance to play them again. You level up to 8 right at the start of Ch 4.
A brand new module? Not just a remake? I wish I had time to play it.
Well not brand new. And it's been available on the Nexus all along (and here in German). And just a continuation of the campaign. But new and vastly improved (I was really embarrassed by how many typos I made the first time) in English in the vault :)
This is great news. I played whatever chapters were available in English a few years ago, but I'm not really sure if I played Ch.4. It was a really enjoyable mod, but so disappointing to leave the story unfinished. I had given up all hope of seeing a translation of the conclusion. Thanks for doing this Chuck!
Glad to hear it DtG. And yes work continues on Ch 5. There are now several conversation,including two quite long ones, translated.
Chucker,
Thanks so much for bringing this game back to us! Quick question. When I am in the Lady's Labyrinth, specifically Marge's District, I kill the Wolf Boy but he does not drop a heart. This appears to be a bug. Is there anyway I can acquire this?
Thank You
Hi. That may be something I messed up. The wolf's heart was one of the untranslated items when I did my play through. It's possible I didn't put the translated one back in his inventory. I'll take a look when I get a chance, but not until next week (I just packed everything up for a summer trip). In the meantime you can console yourself in the heart. I don't know the file name offhand but look through the .uti files (in either the mod or campaign folders) for something called "herz" or "wolfsherz". Thanks for letting me know.
Hi, I'm playing chapter 4 of that wonderful campaign but I have encountered what seems to be a bug: [spoiler]the wolf boy from the dream in Lady's maze does not drop anything after defeating him and I understand that he should drop an important item - the message is "Target has no items or gold"[/spoiler].
Can anyone help me? I would like to continue to play but due to this bug I cannot move forward.
The game has been a little more buggy since the April Win10 update. If you are able to, redo that fight but don't try to loot the body for at least 10 seconds to allow the game time finish the On Death script.
Hope this helps.
Thanks. I followed your advice but had no luck - his body simply disappears if I wait for too long. But I found a solution: enter Debug Mode (press the ~ key to show the console then type DebugMode 1 in console), enter this command: GiveItem wolfsherz - and this item appeared in my inventory. Then exit the debug mode with DebugMode 0, press again the ~ key to make the console disappear and that's all, I was able to continue playing.
Excellent news and thank you for sharing the solution with everyone,
Thanks for posting the detailed work around. I had a chance to go in and check and it was as I as I suspected -- I'd forgotten to make the heart droppable in the inventory. I will upload a fixed version this weekend. For those who have already entered this area you will likely have to use the workaround with the console. And yes the item name for the giveitem command is "wolfsherz".
I finally got a chance to upload the updated .mod file. Sorry it took me so long. Cheers Chuck
Hi,
I just downloaded the chapter four file. I put the file in the campaign folder and the modules folder.
I still can't seem to get chapter four to start. Sorry I am that person that needs specific instructions.
In the game, my character went into the painting the Cecile de Sars country house. It is a small area with a ruined tower and there is a door with a red pattern on it. I can't get the anything to happen in this area. Did I miss something in the game or did I not put the chapter four files in the right place. My pc is Windows 10 pro.
Thanks in advance for your help
Great News!!!
Hi
I can not open this file i downloded now,get a message windovs can not open this file.
I using Windows 10/11 is the something wrong here?
@ChuckerIINO Something is wrong with the zip file you uploaded - neither Windows nor Android will open it.
I can open it using 7zip on Windows, though.

Weird. I zipped it on a Mac. Wonder if that had something to do with it. I'll look into tomorrow. Thanks for letting me know.
Can confirm Proleric's comment. I can't unzip the .hak on Winrar, but I can unzip all of the files on 7Zip. I use Windows 7.
Thanks all for lettinmg me know. I have replaced the .zip with a newly comporessed .7z. Please let me know if that works. (I also had an "invalid file" on the zip when I tried to open it on my PC but it worked fine on the Mac - weird).
Works for me.
Thank you so much for translating chapter 5! I have been waiting a long time to continue the saga.
Could you please tell me what level my char should be when I start chapter 5?
Hi thanks. I consider it time well spent! Glad you're playing it.
As I recall, level is around 11.
Thank you! I'm looking forward to playing chapter 5!
Will the game accep the new chapter with the old campaign folder or do I need to install the new campaign folder that came with the new chapters? And Is there a walktrough for chapter 5?
