Custom armor

[gragor]

I'm trying to make an armor with the toolset but it seems i just have a standard toolset.

I have 3 models of fullplates ... wich are ugly

Where do i find more models?

Or if someone know how to make such like these? Maybe there already is something in game, i don't know.

This thread explains how. We certainly have a wizard hat IG, the colour may not be the exact same. There is a helmet that matches the second image, the armor I am not too sure about myself but something close enough could be done if not already available. Equip a mundane fullplate and look through the appearances IG.

First of all, Thanks!

It seems if i design an armor on a human i have alot but alot more option than i try when i change the human to a half orc.


If i design the armor on the human, will it look the samen in game on my grey orc?

[Nomster]

I cannot say for sure, I have not tested this myself as I have only tried human appearances. You can make an appearance and load up Jegs training module (or any other module) with an orc character and grant that character the item IG through a command. If it does not show, it is because grey orcs use a different model and a remodeling of that specific armor piece would be needed... which is not likely to happen.

I like the race, not the modeling


My armor is 90% finished. Kinda like it but it fits for humans.

Where do i get that module?

Can someone tell me how I would go about getting an armor design I have in the toolset IG on my character?

I can get the armor in a BIC file but I don't know where to send that or if that's the right way to go about it.

[Nomster]

Was hoping for an answer for arakes99's question. It was a while ago I saw the guidelines -somewhere-.

How does it work? Can appearance changes be made and given to one character only? Or do they all have to be added to the appearance changer?

Who handles these files... Luna only?

[Hitman Hard]

Luna, Duster I believe, and Alezka also does armor/item appearance changes.

[TheKai]

But does it then become available to everyone via the appearance changer or is it unique to that one character? Like an item 1 for 1 swap?

[Lambert]

You know, I believe there is a way for characters to change appearance and color for all pieces of their equipment and weapons. Must be a NWN2 hak pack somewhere. Uses in game changing rooms. Tales of Amn server had that going on, and it was pretty neat way to customize a character.

You'll need to create a blueprint, export it and ask Luna very very nicely if he has the time to put it into the game for you.



For anyone who wants to try making new armors themselves, is actually fairly simple and easy to do yourself once you know where in the toolset to do it.

1. Download the latest Jegs Training Module which should have all our Haks and therefore appearances.

2. Open the toolset then load up the Jegs Module.

3. Create a new area, then open the "Blueprints" tab on the left side and pick what you want to make under "Items." Armor, helm etc. and place it in your area on the ground.


4. Click your item, select "Properties" tab on the left side (same side Blueprints tab is on) and click on the "Armor Set" tab at the top. You'll see the following screen.

5. Experiment and get creative! Play with all of the options and figure out what does what. Dont check off helm, cloak etc if you're only working on the armor.


6. If you've made it this far, ask what to after that as you'll need to add a Name, specific tag, resef, Icon, Classification etc in the properties tab. Then create a blueprint and export.

Dont expect your armor to get in just because you made it as Luna is the one that ends up doing all the work to get it in and his workload is insane enough as is.

This is the basics anyway, nothing too heavy.

I tried making weapons, but no matter what appearance I previewed - it would always show the standard weapon. (Only tried greatswords)
