    I've done some searching but can't seem to find a solution, so hoping others may have the answer.

    I've recently grabbed all 4 of Orchestral Tools' Metropolis Ark series that are available in the wild, being1, 2, 3 and 4.

    I am using R2R's Kontakt 7.0.11 and their Kontakt Manager, and in the main it works perfectly with all my libraries that I need to use added and being useable. However, for some reason, Metropolis Ark 4 will not add and I just get this message from teh R2R Kontakt Manager:

    upload_2022-11-12_17-53-48.png

    Any ideas why this happens? I'm guessing it's not in the R2R Kontakt Manager database, and therefore not recognised, but obviously came out a while ago, and well before the Kontakt Manager app and other libraries that have come after it. Therefore, is it something else, or is there a way to fix this?

    Cheers all in advance!

    I'm still sitting on Kontakt 6.7.1, loading with 5.6.0 = No problem loading up Ark
    Do you know how to check the UPID? make sure it's not zeros in the xml

    Yup. Worked perfectly, thanks! All working now.

    However, have the same issue with ProjectSAM's True Strike 2 now :thumbsup:

    Also having same issue with the Spitfire Audio Albion collection (the 195GB odd one), but assume this is because it's a non-official compilation. Any workaround for this one?

    Is there anywhere that has downloadable working .ncint files for all libraries at all?!

    Hello, as far as i know there is no such archive on the internet, but you can try a little hack and craft a nicnt from scratch and then register it to kontakt.

    Below there's a zip i crafted with all the tools needed to do such operations and i've included an instructions.txt file to help you step by step.
    If there are any questions feel free to ask!

    dl link:

    pass: kontakt7r2rNicnt

    I hope this can help you and other people now and in the future

    Cheers for this. Ran this, generated the new .ncint, says it registered, but still doesn't show up in Kontakt not in the Kontakt Manage Libraries section in teh Settings?!

    Have you already tried "uninstalling" the libraries?
    You can try following this:


    Obviously, you need to keep your library folder for then reinstalling it through the .nicnt again

    Hi - been following this thread and was hoping to see the tools you created, but downloaded your archive from google drive and it can’t be opened with the password you provided…

    I’m also hoping to be able to generate and edit Nicnt and xml files for my libraries.

    Please would you repost or update password? Thanks so much.

    Okay, I've made two nicnt's with the official data of the first and last Albion libs I found on Nativeaccess.xml. It's a long shot if you use R2R's Kontakt, but maybe you can fool Kontakt into thinking you're just using one official lib and not the self-made big compilation.
    Also, True Strike 2 nicnt. This one should work for sure because, well, it's an official one.

    They all work for R2R Kontakt manager and they show up in Kontakt 7, BUT remember I use Bobdule's Kontakt. The "show up" part I can't be sure.

    PS. Oh yeah. Password:

    Did you copy the space between the ":" and actual password? if so, then do not copy it.
    Also, I redownloaded the file and used the provided password. It works fine.

    If something can go wrong with passwords it will lol. Learned that the hard way. That's why always put them in a separate line
    Password:
    thisisthepassword

    More stuff

    PS. true history. Once I wrote something like:
    The password is "xupito" without quotes

    Someone complained that
    "xupito" without quotes

    didn't work, and even worse, it was too large for a password

    Me at that moment:

    Hi guys, kinda new here, but I've come across these r2r stuff cuz I'm so thirsty for music software and such I don't have the money for. All of my software atm is legit, I got the full kontakt 7 with r2r once and all my other libraries stopped working except the one I needed the full kontakt 7 for, and although most of those libraries were cheap or free, the fact that the instruments I used to compose a track that I've been working on for some time suddenly stopped working I just panicked and redownloaded the actual kontakt player.

    Anyways... Can anyone tell me if I can still activate a library with r2r and use a legit kontakt player? If yes then please teach me how to, because I just want to use metropolis ark so badly.
