Ive downloaded the tilesets necesary to get into town finally but i dont know where they go also i believe they are misslabeled for some odd reason. Are tilesets supposed to be labeled .tga at the end?

They are overrides, not haks, so they aren't necessary! But place them in the override folder is a good start

If your version of Neverwinter Nights is updated to 1.69, it should already contain the tileset used for the town.
 
You do not need to download anything other than the update.  All of the downloads are optional overrides that change the looks of monsters and tilesets. They are nice, but they are not nessecary to have.

The Why of my problem is:

Hey guys, firstly thank you so much for your input i was able to make more step's towards solving this issue however its not over. I should explain why this is -needed- though it may not be the solution sadly. The reason i downloaded the tileset's is that every time i enter certain transitions i crash and cannot reload ANY character from that point unless they have a spawn point outside the town after a reset. These characters are literally unrecoverable that don't have that safe spawn point ( the two primary transitions that make me crash are ANY trans into town, or the memories of the past in the begining of the introduction).

         Now to the current issue.....*sigh* sorry about all that. I have all the tilesets and am still crashing when i zone into those places i mentioned above. I love this server and am enjoying it very much but i would like to have a look at town Lol. ANY advice anyone can offer on this subject is most welcome and appreciated.

Well, it might not be due to the tilesets, because, as mentioned, they are optional overrides and simply provide different textures. I suggest naming the exact areas this happens in.

If you have Shiny Water (that may not be the exact name, sorry) enabled, it is known to cause all sorts of problems, crashes among them. Turning all your graphics settings down and removing the overrides seems like a good start. If you're still having problems, re-installing NwN may be necessary. But the folks here can likely propose a less extreme solution.

It's also possible some overrides or files in another folder conflict with this server, from your time playing on whatever server you used to play on.

I had a very similar problem on another server. I went through the my files and haks and compared the old size versus the updated hak and releoaded. Try turning down the graphics as mentioned before first and isolate the problem that way. Then run through the files you need here and compare and contrast the files in your NWN folder..

It may not be old haks/updates/missing files but its a good bet. I ran into that problem with two other players on the potm server. They couldnt load the deserts of har'akir. They uploaded the proper files and were good to go!


I hope some tech geek with a gift of explaining the process shows up!
