@Borden - Hmmmm. Take a screenie from the toolset? With enough of the wood texturing around the all black jagged hole? That should be visually close enough to work from either side of the "door" without giving away what is on the other side of the spooky darkness. *grins*

Added later: How do I make portrait for a hole?

I suppose I could make it a view of what's on the other side
but since other peeps are creating the  adventure how do I know what's there?
Help! my brain is sliding into a (slighty alcohol inudced ) spiral of unanserable questions.

The hole has a different appearance interior vs. exterior?
You could:
External: You could frame it with jagged wood and in the hole put a dark, blurred hint of interior.
Interior: Same frame, lighter, blurred, blueish hint of ocean bottom.

Take a sceenie of the background and apply a large gaussian blur to it until the shapes are amorphous enough to be many things.
Edit: add a lot of fog before you take the screenie. The background will fade out and only a few of the foreground shapes will need to be blurred.

Normal service may be resumed later...

Hope not, I like what you come up with when you're sliding in spirals :-)

 @Amethyst Dragon: Thank you, I think I will 

Now, I suppose, I really *should* get over to Harvest Moon and read Bannor's tut on animating textures... 

Ta!

Since my sunken wreck is leaning over I'm going to make the interior floor slope as well. Should be a challenge.

 Nice Tutorial, BB 

See how I've twisted it?



Of course, Overbite is only there for scale 

Anyone guess the origin of the porthole frame?

Hasta lumbago

Hmmm... put in a "slip" script (dex check?) where they keep sliding down the deck...  toward a dark and suspicious hole...

You *do* inspire me, Borden :-)

Definitely going to try and whip something together for this, if I get a chance. Still stuck in bed but I'm well enough to do something, I'm sure, even if it'll turn out fairly iffy. :3

@Vibrant Penumbra: I'm getting a vaguely Bioshock-esque feel from that frame. Of course, now that I said it, that'll be wrong. Damn Schroedinger.

[Zwerkules]

Yeah, damn Schroedinger. What he did to his cat was bad enough, but nobody has ever heard of his dog again after what he did to it.

So Thankee, Lady, fer yer fine work and generosity.

I made quite simple script to apply the "bubble" visual effect on any creature in area. Since the bubbless were added in latest patch I dont think this will be on vault already.

DOWNLOAD (erf)

Instalation:
- put "underwater_enter" into area's OnEnter event, or Execute this script from your current script
- put "underwater_exit" into area's OnExit event, or Execute this script from your current script

How does it work:

The script applies the bubble effect on breathing creature, that means that undead, constructs, elementals and neither oozes gets it. If a variable NO_BUBBLES with non-zero value is present on such creature, visual effect won't be applied as well. NPCs gets this visual effect permanently until they leave current area, in case the creature is player controlled character however, the bubble effect is applied temporarily and its re-applied every 6 seconds unless the player is dead or polymorphed into creature that doesn't breathe. Of course, resurrected player gets bubble effect again.

Notes about the visual effect:

1) Some creatures might not be able to show the effect. I couldn't seen the effect on my faerie dragon familiar, but script told me that the effect is present. So either I am bubble blind or some creatures doesn't allow this VFX.
2) The effect itself comes with a sound of bubbles which gets repeated after a while. The sound can be hear even if the bubble effect was applied on enemy creature so in underwater area, this sound will be played over and over.


Anyway, I wasn't very sure if aquatic or water creatures like sharks should do bubbles. Also the script doesn't contain a "can creature breath here" check as I supposed that if she couldn't, she wouldn't gets in there in the first place. Also this would be quite dependant on custom content like variables on item etc so I dropped the idea. But if this functionality is appreciated I could make it. Any feedback appreciated.

[Shadooow]

btw I got some ideas for others:

- an area visualization template for aquatic environment (environment.2da at least if it allows custom content - i'm not sure)
- some music to fit aquatic environment? Im not sure whats in CMP but nothing suitable in default NWN

[Gleym]

I'm going to go ahead and suggest someone make a mantis shrimp beastie.


..Seriously, these things are insane!

Also, Vibrant Penumbra, is that porthole thing gonna be used for something like an underwater city, ala Bioshock or something?

Its a (teeny-tiny) possibility, since I am ejoying making my cute little whirlpool so much. But it's a looooong way from my first placeable to a tileset 

I do like the whole 20,000 leagues look (as opposed to Bioshock, which is a bit to noveau for what I'm thinking  ).

I just threw that in because the scene was so bare and I like making you guys scratch your pointy liddle heads 

Trying to think of something good for my next screenie now <_<

*whines* It's hard!

Toodles!
