CEP UPDATER

[Badwater]

Tonight Talus had CEP updated using the CEP updater. I highly recommend that you use it to update CEP as well, as considerable content has been modified (for instance, I saw llamas in the updates). The updater will add or correct CEP content and if you do not have some of the new content it may not show up in Talus if one of the builders have used it.

Download CEP_UPDATER.ZIP from here:

nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Hakpaks.Detail&id=7665

Follow the instructions on the NWVault page. You will need the Updater and the erf.exe files.

The first time you update you will have to opt for the current updater version. You will hit Ctrl-C to get the current zip and then update those two files. Then run Updater again and it should be done in a few minutes.

This did not work on my ME system. Guess I'll have to wait for 2.3 for my old standby.

I cannot stress enough how important and valuable it is going forward to run the cep updater on your own pc everyone..
We run it once a month on the server modules and its already adding cep 2.3 pieces as the cep team releases them from testing..
In the old days you had to wait for the whole revision to get released. Now there updating pieces almost weekly !!

Here is a snippet from one of the dev team. (barry_1066)

Actually for 2.2 it is falling way short -- all due to the CEP updater.

[glow=red,2,300]Anyone with CEP 2.1 or later installed can just run the updater and be brought up to the current, latest release.[/glow] I suppose if we continued the letter system we would be in release X. Y or Z or ever starting over with double letters like AA and BB by now. At times CEP 2.2 was updated more than twice a week. This means if one ONLY uses CEP 2.2c -- that one is missing a lot of fixes, and new material.

Yes 2.2c will work with the later updates with the exception of the missing material, but we still get bug reports based on version 2.2c when those bugs were squished many months ago.

The next time one will have the opportunity to be fully up to date by downloading from the NWNVault will be when I post CEP 2.3 to the NWNVault. I do not expect that version to be up to date a week later.

What is going on with the updater is that it is making "official" CEP releases a thing of the past. CEP versions are themselves going through different versions that get updated by way of the CEP Updater.

So....I will announce in the Module Updates when the Talus CEP has been updated. Might be every month or so. Your playing may be affected if Talus has run the updater and has certain content, but you have not.

I will run the Updater sometime this week and post when that has happened.
