    Ok, first of all, let me say I'm a GREAT noob in using the toolset. I finished the game a few times, and realized I'd like to play with a palad/sorcerer. So I went to the toolset thing and made a very coooooool armor (chain mail for mages ;)), chose the parts, colors, abilities.. everything, at the end saving it as *.erf file. BUT, I dunno what to do next... so, my question is:
    -How can I import it to my game? I can use it in the standard campagin of the game, right? I've seen a huge number of tutorials and all of them requires a large time to model and colour and that... but I didn't model it, I picked it from the data of NwN and changed its properties, only this! I hope someone can help me out of this dire doubt!!!
    Thanks all for advance.

    You just need to put it in a module somewhere... either in your own module, or one of the OC modules. However, for the OC modules to be editable in the toolset, you need to either have finished the OC once or enter the unlock code in the .ini file manually.

    Another option, if your just using the default armors and changing the specs, is to use the "Pretty Good Character Creator / Customizer" mod.

    It's basically just a mod for leveling up your character and outfitting them before playing other mods, but there is a smith included that can customize items for you. It cost gold , but the merchant will give you gold if you ask.

    I don't have the link handy but I'll see if I can find it when I get home today.

    Also, for customizing the armor apprearance, there is a hak tha lets you change appearance in game, using the craft options. Within limits, you can customize the armor style and colors.

    Again, don't have the link but I'll check when I get home and try to post both.

    Yes, I know that, the thing is I just don't know how to do it. I've already tried. I put the *.erf file on the override directory and then tried to spawn the thing, but nothing happened. I must be missing something... just don't know what =(



    Well, I didn't only changed the appearance of it, I changed everything :p. Changed the stats, colors, abilities, powers, etc. I simply went to the toolset, picked up the armor with "item wizard" and made an entire new armor. Then saved and copied in the override folder.

    I'm totally lost...

    Check the NWN/Toolset/Tutorials subsection here on SP. It should list some guides that can help you out with this.

    Save the module with the armour in it. Load the mod using the Player Client and use the character you want. Pick up the item. Save your character. Start the OC.
