Would you download HAKs in a....

[Nightshadow]

It is indeed as simple as that. Any file that ends with a .hak goes in the folder named hak.

[SilentSouth]

Yeah but what i mean is, people with not much experience on computers get easily scared by all this stuff. Most people are not adept as you may think and dont even know how to get the programme files. :P

[PlayaCharacter]

It's extremely easy to package a .hak in an installer.

[The Crimson Magician]

this is irrelevant anyways. just vp trolling us to start a discussion regarding haks duh

[Divine Intervention]

Tbh just look at the overides by Mort and tell me that we need Haks to improve it.  Most hak custom skins look stupid and poorly made anyway.

[Thomas_Not_very_wise]

We'd be able to incorporate a lot more into the server, new spells, new PrCs, hell, even a custom head override. <_>

[el groso]

Would I download haks at this point? Yeah... I download all custom overrides, being optional, why not the Haks? Now... Would I be here, in the first place, if when I found out about EFU I had to download haks? No.

[Vlaid]

I don't think I've ever tried a server that required haks.

[Barehander]

I'm not sure people realize what haks actually are. They're typically not like CEP. A custom hak would only include the high quality material the designers want to use for EfU. And I can assure you, there's a lot of ridicilously good material out there even if 70% of it is crap.

It would be so much easier if all the overrides, for example, were integrated into a hak. Our overrides are cool, but bad because they're overrides: if you use them for EfU, you use them for everything in NWN. Haks also make for smoother mechanical modifications, not to mention new monsters and first and foremost, tilesets and placeables. Additional weapon and clothing models may be cool or cheesy, but the real attraction of haks is that they drastically increase potential in area design.

A hak is the only way to make the custom PrCs work smoothly too, but there's of course game balance issues to address there.

[Damien]

The haks will be custom, they will be only what we and the dms want so please stop using the argument that you don't want to download skin hak packs.

oh wait barehander already said my point, i will say it again to emphasize tbh

[SilentSouth]

I doubt this will even make a difference really, its completley down to Howland and co obviously. So this whole argument is pretty pointless. The poll however is good, so now they know if they ever did want to release a hak they know we will download it.

[el groso]

The question is the wrong thing here. Yes, I would download the damn haks, yes. And no, I wouldn't like to see EFU with haks, simply because I enjoy the fact that new players get to discover EFU, and would not if there were haks.
