A Land Far Away

========================================================
As I am the Zelknolf, I am also commandering this thread. We thank Acadius' noble written words, and mourn their (necessary) loss.
========================================================

A few rules for this thread:
I do know that those posting here are excited about the content they discuss and want to express as much-- but please remember that this is a work queue for the tech team, and every post is a request that someone else do free work for you. So, please:
-- Format your posts with clear links to the actual content that you wish to have included; nwvault pages are appropriate. Those who do this are going to be scanning threads for links; prominent links at the beginning or end of paragraphs are best.
-- Link to the smallest-available package which connects to the actual request you have. Compilation haks are terribly unhelpful, and extremely difficult to work with. We will assume that you've tried and you're competent; if the only source is a compilation pack, we can only ask for understanding that the request is treated with the lowest priority.
-- Do not include images in your posts. Remember that nwvault pages typically include screenshots, and those interested will know where to look for them.
-- Try to evaluate the quality of your requests, and keep in mind aesthetic consistency with the project at large (requests combined with offers to help repair-- for example, a request for a poorly-textured armor with the offer to reskin them-- will of course get more consideration and planning).
-- Make certain that requests conform to the Custom Content Addition Policies
-- Make certain that the requested content is released.
-- Make certain that the content is free for anyone to use (this is true of everything posted on sites like nwvault-- but should be a concern if content is sourced elsewhere).
-- Do not include any assessments of how difficult the implementation would be. If you were qualified to make that assessment, you wouldn't have any need to post here.

Organizing this with a new thread so I can keep track of things better. I've omitted things we've already incorporated into the haks, though I expect I have missed some. Feel free to post comments on any of these or suggestions for others. Also welcome are offers to help integrate the "systems" linked below, since those are more significant projects:

Maybe I'm just not very adroit with the toolset or recommended overrides, but you can't even go shirtless in NWN2, can you? Always end up in like, beige rags? Sometimes you'd figure a genital-free Ken doll or Barbie doll (a la NWN1) are needed to reflect things like swimming, shimmying down a hole with climb ranks unimpaired, hard labour in the sun, pit fighting, etc.

If there's milder "skin" haks out there, all good, or if I read right, things like Belt models are where the great big junk exist in things like that Necrolord hak (which could be edited out), why not get 'em?

Kama Models:

There are some eastern type weapons, punch dagger, and tiger claws (which would be great for Red Tiger Uthgardt character concepts).

AND Interactive Druid Tarot ingame Mini-Game for bored times! And telling Tarot!
http://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn ... tarot-deck

This post has been edited; elven ships and dwarven gates hopeful for 1.83. Heads 20 and 25 can be used, hopeful for 1.83; 21, 22, and 24 are bugged in texture or model integrity; 23 gets facial proportion way wrong, which is where it gets its "cartoonish" look. I'll not use it without some broader acceptance than just my review.

http://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn ... nd-helmets

Cloaks and helmets from the Shirtless Saga hakpak, made to work on female models Added most of this

These include very realistic wolf/animal types and elven crowns as well as full fur cloaks.

and

http://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn ... k-volume-2 Added most of this

Pay the most attention to the weapons models here. The armor is nice and would be nice to have new breastplates and plate too.

and replaces the current ore placeable with a tintable one: Added
http://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn ... -placeable

// edit: fixed links

Would it be possible to add the door models we have (or just the ones from the original games) as placeables? I really like the "secret" doors, but they just will not work because of their door-iness. If they were placeables it would be a piece of cake. In my innocence I'm assuming that it would just require some lines adding to a .2da file (and the line-of-sight block switch set) as all the models and textures are in the standard Data folder. I'm willing to do whatever grunt work may be necessary.
Thanks!
Teric

Added placeable models for basic doors though they do not have any animations attached to them

Moving this to the correct place:

And giving the response:
It's not actually that simple. Something that we've known about and have wanted a viable solution for over some time, but something that requires no trivial amount of work to successfully implement with our ruleset.

This deep halls update:

http://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn ... tree-house Looked it over - its poorly made and incomplete - did not add


Any or all of these would be very useful. I was cruising the vault looking for material for a current build project and all of these could be used one way or another.

I would love to see these placeables added
