Any need for weapons or Items

[c2k]

I have real trouble with some of the matters realting to HAK's, 2da files, the toolset and what not.

Learning how to read the 2das, script, etc. could take some time, but I can give you the link to the program I use to compile/uncompile haks. This also works for erf files as well.

Yup. Got that one. It's what I used to get access to the models. Like I said, we have all kinds of knowledge, but no way to collect what we know and get this stuff working. It's just too much to find out. Hence why I mentioned Msn. We could chat, while we have the applications open, and have questions answered directly. By any of us.

Edit: Btw, I am looking at making custom armours, and one thing I notice, is not that the armours need modifying. The models for characters need it. Few pieces actually fit the body, and if we were able to alter the model used for that, much more options would be usable for making custom looks.

I've read all the posts quickly but I'm going to need to study them, I think I'll focus on weapon models and getting that done.. its alot more complicated then I thought.

I can easily make the war mace into one model.. but stilll need to learn alot about weapon design.

chattings online (Msn) seems a good idea to me

Maybe this guy is interested in helping out too, he seems experienced:

Matterhorn, you can easily view models using this tool:

Simple Model Viewer by Adinos. The models can be found in your NwN2 Data folder. Just unzip the models and material files.

Progress! I finally figured out how to save the models. Here's fullplate armour edited for a fat woman.




Edit: Now, if anyone can tell me where to upload this stuff, and get it into the toolset, that would be great. If it works, we should be able to at least edit existing models.

Perhaps it would be more usefull to try if we can get this model into the toolset:



Just to see if this works.

Alright. I'm close. The file's name is: PLC_NT_Rocks21.mdb
I can't find it on the list for changing appearance in the toolset. The files are located in the override folder (Thanks duster) but still the do not appear. Any one know what I am doing wrong?

Maybe this guide would be of any help?

[breteas]

That is an -awesome- guide. Thanks! Matherhorn, check that stuff out!

[breteas]

Still no joy.

I'm noticing one thing. A while back Duster passed us theaterprop models so we could check them out. Now, If I load the builder mod used by the team, those will show up in the appearance change list. If I then make a new mod, they will still show.

However, if I first load an empty mod, they will not appear in the list either. So I am thinking somewhere, somehow, there needs to be a file pointing to the override folder, and the files in it.

That's all I can think of. I am stuck now.

See? Without BG mod loaded:



With BG mod loaded:




Hope somebody knows how to fix this.

Doh! *facepalms*

Placeables require their on 2DA file entry. Weapons, armor, armor bits, helmets, hairstyles, etc, only need the non-number part of their file name be uniform with exiting models.
