Official hak suggestions thread

Mods plz sticky thx u

New content is starting to roll in at a good pace now, and 1.06 should fix the custom content issues, so it's time to start gathering hak material. Please post anything you want here.

Hak size isn't as much of a concern as we'd thought; since everyone's going to be downloading gigantic .pwc files anyway, it isn't that much more of a problem. I will still be trying to keep the haks as small as possible though. My basic thought is that adding new material later is easy, while removing material that's already in is nearly impossible.

All custom content is fair game. Models, textures, whatever, just not music in this thread.

POSTING RULES READ OR I WILL STAB YOU IN THE FACE PLZ

1) Skim the thread to see if what you're posting is already here.
2) Do not just post a link, include a short description.
3) But don't forget the link.
4) Before posting, please ask yourself if this is actually useful for ALFA or not. I really don't want to dig through five hundred haks full of nude orcs, flaming toads or swords that look like penises.
5) Please test the hak. It'll only take you fifteen minutes at most, and save us a ton of time later. You don't need to thoroughly test everything, just check it out and make sure it does what it's supposed to do--if it's a head hak, make a character with a new head and make sure there are eyes, that kind of thing. Please indicate if you've tested it or not.

DMs, please check the DM forum thread before posting something here.

Remove Cheeseball Buff Ball Effects

It's not a hak, but it's probably the best place for it to go so we're consistent. Of course, some people probably like being surrounded by spell effects.

Once an area of four tiles or more is built together with no dividing walls, a disgustingly huge hole in the roof apears. This sorts it.

Big ugly tower, but it gives us an extra building.

Question. Do visual effects need to be on each client to make them viewable, I'm thinking not?

DMs/Builders might want to probably rummage through this list. I haven't added anything to this list in a month, so anything from Feb 19 until now, you'll need to check NWVault -- http://www.alandfaraway.org/phpbbforum/ ... hp?t=33779

Added rule five after thinking about spending thousands of hours checking weapon models.

Shovel Item

The animation exists in the game to shovel, but they didn't finish the item. It may get patched in some future update, or all we may ever have is this hak.

It works. It's not perfect, but a lot better than nothing.

Hat's, and more hats.
The more hats we have the better. You can never have enough hats.

Obsidian has added Walkemesh Helpers to the game (v1.05 I believe).
