Greetings, In case anyone is experiencing missing heads or heads showing up without their texture, here's the reason.
I noticed that, all mdl files in this pack are internally named differently. Simply renaming the file does not suffice to prevent conflicts. About 8 lines in the mdl file need to be changed as well, to reflect the file name. This can be easily done by using this nifty tool https://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/other/tool/nwn-tileset-duplicator-v03x It automatically changes the corresponding lines when renaming both mdl and ptl.
Or one could just rename the mdl and its corresponding plt file to it's original name, which can be found by opening the mdl file with an editor. However, then the heads might not show up in Character Creation, if their numbers aren't consecutive, starting with pfe0_head017.
Also head 24 seems to corrupted. It was formerly pfe0_head_018. Edit: ah, nope it's just still in binary.
I extracted the loose files into the override folder of NWN EE but nothing shows up in the character creation :\ Am I missing something? Do I have to edit something inside nwn.ini as well? please help
I'm new to modding NWN, specifically the Enhanced Edition. I can't for the life of me figure out how to install the mod. Would you be able to give me an in depth explanation on how to. Sorry for taking up your time. Edit: I put the files in the override folder but nothing seems to happen.
Hey there, sorry for such late answer, wasn't on Nexus for quite some time. If it is still needed: 1) You have to place all files into override folder that is usually located in C:\yourusername\Documents\Neverwinter Nights\override I have just tested these heads today with EE and they work just fine. And yes - i have placed there files, not the folder with them (doesn't work like that)
All except of 5 heads appear in basic character creator normally Additionally u can use this https://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/hakpak/original-hakpak/customize-character-override-hak-ccoh?page=1 in-game char. editor to change the head and access 5 heads that take up higher slots.
If nothing seems to happen, then remove any .hak files from hak folder and then try again - if heads work, then one of the hak files is interrupting with override folder (haks>override).
Again, sorry for laaaaaaaate answer. I'm hoping you've enjoyed the game anyway!
Your work on those heads is very nice ! Would you happen to take requests by some chance (or know someone who does) ? I have one character (human female) that I want to play and I would need a custom face for her.
Hey, thanks! Unfortunately I do not make any face textures and as i know this is quite uncommon thing for NWN :( I also have 0 ideas where to search for people who can do it

In case anyone else is wondering or needs to get them working in the Enhanced Edition!
