The new script files equip items now, not just install them! Also I have created armor and weapons for Aribeth, Deekin and Nathyrra who can be companions in HotU and are capable of finishing the game with you. The script files for them make installing or uninstalling their armor and weapons quick an effortless. I did not create any items for Henchmen in the original campaign because the game would not let you open their inventory.

I recreated the armor, jewelry and weapons mostly because Neverwinter Nights Aurora Toolset does not allow you to edit items that were not created in it and saved in a mod file. I did create them in the toolset, but in a much older computer and those files are now gone. The main reason I did this was because I had checked the Undroppable flag and the items could not be removed, placed in bags, given to companions or sold. At the time I thought that would be a good idea. Whoops! When viewing the items in NWN Viewer, it says they are cursed. Also, the Ace's Ring of Immunity and the Ace's Aramil Blades were unidentified. All this has now been corrected and many improvements have been made.

I have included scripts in the main file and as optional files to remove all of the version 1.0 and 1.1 items. The new armor, jewelry and weapons have new item IDs mostly because they are still named the same, but also because the Aurora Toolset didn't like the nw_ prefix. Some of the updated items may still have the same IDs, so you will need to remove the old ones first before installing the new ones. Just let the files be overwritten when installing and remove any files with the nw_ prefix. The scripts will remove the items where ever they are in your character's inventory. As mentioned before, there are also new scripts to install and equip the new items.

Ace's Master Adventurer is technically not armor but a robe, more like an outfit with pants, and adds no armor check penalty or arcane spell failure. It adds a +20 Armor Bonus, with +20 Damage reduction, 50 Soak, +20 Regeneration and many Damage Immunities.

The Gauntlets of Fury offer Bonus Feats for Simple, Martial and Exotic Weapon Proficiencies. It includes Two Weapon Fighting, Improved Two Weapon Fighting, Ambidexterity, Power Attack and Spring Attack. It also includes Cleave, Great Cleave, Knockdown and an Attack Bonus of +20 among still others. These features allow you to use dual weapons of many types immediately without incurring any penalties for their use!

Between all of the Armor and Jewelry they have Damage Immunity to almost everything and they all add something else extra too. Use Examine to see for yourself. I will add photos so that you will be able to see them here. I don't like getting killed so my armor works perfectly for me. If you feel the same then it will work for you too!

INSTALLATION

Create a override folder if it does not exist in the game folder or documents folder such as C:\Users\username\Documents\Neverwinter Nights\override or Libraries\Documents\My Documents\Neverwinter Nights\override. Extract and copy all of the *.uti and *.ncs files to this override folder and overwrite all ncs and uti files. Manually delete all nw_aces*.uti files that exist from the override folder.

This process requires editing a game file. Make sure you create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "nwnplayer.ini" file in the game folder or documents folder such as C:\Users\username\Documents\Neverwinter Nights or Libraries\Documents\My Documents\Neverwinter Nights. Add the following line under the "Game Options" section and add [Game Options] if it does not exist:

[Game Options]
Debug Mode=1

From what I understand, adding Debug Mode=1 is no longer necessary, but just to be sure.

Then while playing the game, press ~ and type "DebugMode 1" (case sensitive without the quotes) to enable cheat mode. Then, press ~ again and type:

 runscript <Script Name>    Places or removes items in your inventory.

When done, press ~ and type "DebugMode 0" (case sensitive without the quotes) to disable cheat mode.


   NOTE: Remove any version 1.0 items before installing any of these items - Removal scripts are below (Those are tens)
