    Can we distribute the potsc_resources hak?
    I downloaded the .hak and .2da files that Derek posted earlier.
    There are 2 Hak Paks, one of which contains some missing files that includes 2DAs. I have not posted any 2DA files for download on their own.
    Quote: After placing them in the corresponding directories (HAK and SOURCE)
    You did what? Hak Paks go in the "hak" directory and nowhere else. You must also add the Hak Paks to your module.

    More: GAHHHH! Sorry all, I have part of a cold now and I did this wrong. My apologies and I will get this fixed up asap...

    More: Sorry about the mistake in the last one. Here is the properly packaged file:Click HereI am going back to bed...

    Authenticating Game... Again???
    Add me to the list of those who will *not* purchase anything that requires online authentication. I would have otherwise gladly paid for bioware's great products, which I've been very happy with thus far.Obviously, bioware has done the math and come to the errorneous business conclusion that:Customers lost due to authentication issue < Customers lost due to piracy.
    And yes, its time to repost...The current authentication system leverages the existing NWN CD Key system. Doing it this way allowed us to create and sell the BioWare Premium Modules in a timely and cost-effective manner. Did we want to make this an on-line only system? No. Given the choice between doing it on-line only versus not doing it at all, we chose the on-line only system.As well, we have said that if this experiment is successful, that we would look into a off-line system for those of you that do not have an internet connection or choose not to authenticate in this manner. This is still under active investigation.So, where are we now? Nothing has changed yet and we are still watching, but we should have a decision on an "off-line" mode sometime "soon"®

    PIRATES! ARRRR!
    Glad y'all are having fun with it... together!
