Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

As title says, we have reading animations and the like, would be awesome if we had a prop book, like in this Mod.

I would love one. NWN1 had one.

I can't tell you how many times I've been asked for this exact thing.

If the mod exists, all we need is to have a dev implement it. I see no reason why we couldn't add these items to our props store if someone's willing and able to put in the legwork to get them in game.

Since almost everyone in this thread so far is staff, how about you guys do it?

Much of what is in the first link is already in game. The link I posted is from NWN1 and the book would need to be ported over to NWN2. I don't know what that would require.

Not sure, myself. We used to have a developer named IAmDeathComeForThee who was an absolute pro at taking resources from other computer games and making them work for NWN2. I think it requires some serious 3D modelling work though. Not sure who on the team, if anyone, is good at this now; but maybe shoot a PM about this to the Media Team and Associate Developer groups to see if anyone wants to take a crack at it?

Isn't the first link an nwn2 link?

It is, but those are animations (the items won't actually be in your inventory -- and really, that might even be better in some peoples's eyes!). If that's all that's desired, should be easy enough to implement? But if we want equippable props, that might be different?

Unless we can just rip the prop graphics from the animations and turn them into equippable objects?

Just used Blender to make a book place-able a hand held item. Basically replaced the model of a dagger for proof of concept.

So now it can be wielded, screenshots were taken on the server with the over-ride model. All that would have to be done, is made a proper item like the equip able steins and attach the model file- after renaming the model file of course.

LOVE THIS.

*Swoons* Please let this be added!

Can we have chalices, I mean goblets props too?

Sure, if the models are already in game and I can find them. Might be able to compile a small list of hand held objects people want, and make it a small project in the Media forum to work on.

This is some great stuff.
