NWN Patch 1.69 Thread (http://nwn.bioware.com/forums/viewpost.html?topic=577975&post=5195883&forum=42&highlight=)
<hr />Functionality for other blood types?

Currently we get Red and Green

Working with a few monsters lately, realized it'd be nice to be able to add custom colors to them.<hr />Looking under BLOODCOLR in the appearance.2da file, I see W for white (golems, undead), Y for yellow (umber hulk), and N for none (I'm guessing). Will have to experiment to see if any other letters are used.

Interesting,

If you could post the following information it may help us to identify the issue more quickly:

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
*********************
Operating System/Service Pack: (Windows XP, 9X, ME, 2000, Mac O/S, Linux)
Processor Type: (i.e AMD Athlon 64 3000+)
Processor Speed: (i.e. 2000 mhz)

In the mean time there are a few things I would try:

1.) The most common solution to this issue is to download and run the 1.68 critical rebuild from here: Click Here (http://nwn.bioware.com/support/patch_english_hotu.html) (This is especially effective if you are experiencing this problem while running NWN Diamond Edition.)

2.) Completely uninstall the game, and delete any remaining folders in the installation directory when you are finished. (Be sure to back up any custom content and characters before doing this.)

3.) Uninstall your video and sound card drivers and reinstall the latest version available from your hardware vendor.

4.) Install the latest version of DirectX from http://www.microsoft.com/directx

5.) Check the Known Issues FAQ (http://nwn.bioware.com/support/known.html) and the Technical Support FAQ (http://nwn.bioware.com/support/techfaq.html) for issues with your particular harware configuration.

Hi there,

As you have the retail version of the Premium modules you already own the 1.1 version.

In this case I would suggest that you uninstall the premium module pack (i.e. the kingmaker adventure pack) and then resinstall it.

It would also be a great idea to ensure your video and sound card drivers are the latest available from your hardware vendor and that you are running the latest version of DirectX.
