Is it possible to get these files in a way that we don't have to download third-party apps to access?

Re: Arelith Overrides
How do you open .zip, .rar or .7z?
Or anything compressed?

Re: Arelith Overrides
IIRC, Windows can extract .rar and .zip natively, but not .7z.

Re: Arelith Overrides
7z is the most efficient way of compressing files, but it's definitely non-standard and doesn't have a ton of support. RAR isn't much less efficient, and ZIP has by far the most support. Since we're not passing around huge files here, a few percentage points of greater compression isn't going to make any difference at all. Purely from the perspective of ease-of-access for users, I think .zip is the way to go, here.

I'll look at creating a zip of the files.

Re: Arelith Overrides
This is the reason that the neverwinter vault page, linked to in the Steam item, has always used .zip compression. While some of the files in the Steam Workshop item have been ported to the server's haks in the new NWsync setup, not all of them have, so, if you were wanting to install them without Steam Workshop, that would be the best bet.
The .7z Morderon posted in announcements would probably be fine for someone already using the Arelith_changes.hak from the Vault, I suppose, since it only contains the shader files and not all of the horse cloak and robe things.

Re: Arelith Overrides
Thanks for this!
I would recommend we use .zip going forward, if we need to at all. Upon review, these files are kb size. In the era of streaming gigs worth of data on Netflix, I wonder why even bother to compress at all?

Re: Arelith Overrides
Because transmitting a single file is almost always safer than transferring a (potentially enormous) number of single files. Also, almost all compression algorithms/methods include some tool to check the integrity of the compressed file, which makes it fairly corruption proof. I could also go into checksums, but that's a bit beyond the point here
