Hey folks,

I noticed this scheme for building more interesting underground areas that I would like a few opinions on.

If you find that caves in NWN are awfully flat.
No chasm, no underground river.

This is for you !

So i made three placeables "roof caves" to design interiors caves with outdoors maps.

To Use it, first, map your area using exterior map. Design the wall of your cave with the terrain tool.

After that take one of the three placeables scale it to fit your area. Adjust height to the top of your "walls".

-----------------------------------
Convert this placeable to environment object.
------------------------------------

Adjust light of your area ( no day/night cylce), color etc etc.

That all. You got a nice cave now.

NB : Exteriors areas are much much larger (Mo Vs Ko ) than interior areas. So use it in small mod or just in some areas.

Very nice idea, but it makes what would be an interior area into an exterior area. So unless you're building an underground server, it's probably a "selective use" approach.

When I first say It I thought about Northdark, I pm'd Inaub just in case he could use it here or there.
