Some good news possibly. Its an override so it may work on current 3t if you just stick it in the override folder.
In the past i have tested some nwn ee high rez custom content that i took from steam ee client and put into diamond overide and it worked fine. I have a nice looking forge that replaces the 3t one.
So i think its worth testing diamond nwn client to see if these hd textures can work on current 3t.
I read in the steam comments that many people found bugs in the thousand of override files and Aerilith ee server where they use custom hak files found bugs on this override.
Let you know how i get on. The 4gb file is very slow to download so i dont have it yet to test.

did some quick 10 min testing while on work lunch break.
I got the files and put into my override dir. There is a large zip file and large exe. Both contain a lot of override files 14500+ files.
I put the zip file in first then over the top copied the exe uncompressed override files into the override dir.
The nwn client started and was able to move around in harta and fer. Im on my laptop 1080p and didnt see much difference as the resolution is not 2k or 4k which this texture pack is more for high rez textures.
I found that that bodies of people dont render for the load master and town guards. Ill try to install it again the other way around with the exe first and then the zip file maybe that order will help. ALso i need to test on my 4k monitor to see the difference as its hard to notice at 1080p but i think the weapons and shields did look better.
It maybe that there are lots of bugs but maybe the community will do a port to diamond version or we can just remove the overrides that are not working. But at 14500 files that is a lot of testing.

I saw this post on reddit who did some before and after testing. I think it looks like a very nice upgrade. ============== Here are my Dwarf and Elf; same gamesave, so literally the same. In case it isn't obvious, top is old models, bottom is new: Dwarf: i.imgur.com/gfq8Fek.pngElf: i.imgur.com/ZbQdQi4.pngElf low light opposite angle; the lighting on the clothes is amazing: i.imgur.com/V06JVzi.png |

www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVTPte_QlGE&t=250sFound a youtube showing someone playing with the HD texture pack. Looks pretty good. This one is from later in the video of the Lord of the rings ee mod. Seems really custom server with different classes, graphics, music and models. 7GB extra content which ee client downloads automatically. Meeting Gandalf youtu.be/PVTPte_QlGE?t=1271Meeting Frodo youtu.be/PVTPte_QlGE?t=2176I installed the hd pack on my steam nwn ee client and tried it for myself. It was super easy to install. Tried three servers and i played in the past was able to see the models updated as soon as i logged in. I did some screenshots. I think it looks really good improvement and combines well with the other lighting graphics improvements. This should be great free update when we get an ee version of 3t Even when zoomed out or chars are far in the background you can see the detail. To me it looks like its another game and not nwn but it is nwn  What i like is shiny armour, you can see the details well on items like the shield and armour, even down to the thread pattern. Also i notice that summons got updated to HD. ibb.co/YkQ3xJDibb.co/Svfkg1Fibb.co/dtS2dyGibb.co/QQGVzrvibb.co/KDQHfJ8ibb.co/XXnTz7pibb.co/C6H0wKDibb.co/KXM8YvhThe NWNVault community has already updated the pack to version 1.2 fixing some bugs and optimising the models so they load faster. neverwintervault.org/project/nwnee/hakpak/original-hakpak/beamdogs-hd-models-textures-pack-nwnee#comment-62369I posted in the forum page there asking if its possible with this version they are updating to put into diamond override dir. Maybe we can get this working yet on diamond 3t.

Watching those videos actually made me excited about nwn again.
I haven't been able to play lately down to personal commitments but once I have the time I will get back, if EE is available for 3t by then I'll be so happy.
I feel Chreelister is holding out on us and will surprise us big time... Haha no pressure Chree
