Toolset+Patch=some questions

Remove all ads!

Basicly all I want to know is why I should download the patch if I only work with the toolset. If some one else play's my game and has the latest patch and I built the module with just the basic and no .hak pack will it work? Any problems you can think of? I'd like to know anything, thoughts, what ever. Thanks in advance.

 

It would not be good if all those thousands of modules had to be updated by their creator each time a new patch came. Of course you can play old modules with the newest patches.

True, but to play online both server and player client have to be on the same revision.

 

I'm not worried about playing online, at least not yet. I just want to avoide .hak packs and anything that might screw with NWN. Right now I have no problems working NWN and haven't found any thing that would make me download a patch.

 

Ah, but some patches directly affect the toolset, and make it more stable. Now I don't think the latest one did anything in that respect, but others have, so you might as well update, just to be safe.

 

I haven't had any problems with the tool set at all. But do you have a link that would tell me what the patch does to the tool set? And if there are any downsides.
