Awesome. Time for some new goodness!

Very cool, very cool Virusman!

I've only been able to run a few very basic tests but it looks like it's going to work.

To other custom content folks: Have you been able to export a model from NWMax and make a new beam effect yet?  Say, loading in an old beam effect, chaning the color (if it's colored by emitter settings, like vim_disinta.mdl is, I believe) and then save it out and have it work?  I'm choking on that.

Yes, I've tried that and it works.
nwgmax broke the model on export (I don't know why), so I had to edit the ASCII manually.

Thanks for the confirmation, Virusman.  I'll see if I can track down what the problem/issue is with NWMax.  I did some comparisons last night but I just couldn't seem to put my finger on what it was.  I've run into this problem before (regarding lightning on a placeable) and I'm hoping I can dig up my notes to point me in the right direction.  At the time I just shifted over to 3DSMax 5.1 using the BioWare export scripts, IIRC

BTW, there have been indications over the years that uncompiled VFX can sometimes lead to intermittent crashes.  Sometimes an uncompiled VFX model will consistently crash until it is compiled.  It is advisable to compile all VFX models.

For that sort of thing, I recommend this compiler.  Sometimes this one.

Again, thank you SOOOOOO MUCH for all your hard work and I look forward to any other discoveries/modifications you make!

Texture Replace customization:
http://data.virusman...nwncx-0.2.3.rar
The principle is the same: add/modify a line in vfx_texreplace.2da, then add new VFX in visualeffects.2da with ProgFX_Duration = 1000+<line id in vfx_texreplace.2da>.
Now you can change textures and environment maps.
Looking forward to seeing what you'll make with these features.

Sweet.

[virusman]

Btw, I've found the following extra ProjectileTypes in the code that are not configurable directly through 2da, but still there in the code:
BurstUp
LinkedBurstUp
DoubleBallistic
TripleBallistic

ok wait now triple balistics?so basicly what your sayen is you can make new vfx threw 2da modification?And basicly make any type of vfx?

[The Amethyst Dragon]

Spreadin' the word about NWNCX updates. So far I've updated the page an neverwinternights.info, the NWN facebook group, and my PW forum.

I've been experimenting and just added 6 new texture VFX for my PW's haks. Haven't made any new beams myself yet, but I have a couple in mind for testing.

Thanks, virusman!

This is a simple texture replace demo, "bloodying" a troll's skin.

I just wanted to say thank you virusman:) This is great stuff for us to play with and opens up lots of possibilities to enhance the whole nwn experience in the future;)

[OldTimeRadio]

Edit: Whoops, edited the wrong post and blew away my explanation.  Basically, this is showing the ability to visually change states on a placeable with texture and being able to change the material of the placeable with the envmap switch.  Changing envmap seems to reset texture but I'm not sure if there's any way around that.

It might be possible to disable models for some helmets, retaining the head model and enabling us to script open head VFX on helmet OnEquip.

Is it possible to add some dummy node with a specific name to some helmet models?

[virusman]

Nevermind.
Open face helmets:
http://data.virusman...nwncx-0.2.5.rar
Add dummy node named "nwncx_openface" to your model, and the game won't remove the head when you equip the helmet.
I'm still not sure it's the best way, but it seemed better than VFX. Anyway, even if you want to use VFX, you can create an empty model just with that dummy node and apply any kind of VFX in OnEquip script.
As I don't have any suitable helmet models for testing, the current implementation may have some bugs: i.e. disappearing head when re-entering area or logging in with helmet equipped.

<trying vainly to wipe...>

If no one beats me to it, I'll convert the Ki Stone diadems to open face helms and test it out.
But, i'm waiting on a new HD to arrive first, so it may be a few days...

Wow.  Happy 10th NWN Birthday to us!  Thanks, yet again, virusman!

Quick question (for servers/LAN games): will all players see the same thing?  Or will only the client see the open face helms and others see a helmet model + a VFX (if they do/don't have nwncx)?  Higher Ground has hidden helmet models server side for quite some time.  They never released it, I attempted to copy the functionality awhile a go on linux: github.com/jd28/nwnx-ta/tree/master/plugins/tastuff  It's only issue is wrt shifters needing to reequip.  If all players see the same thing, I'd love to switch to something more robust.

Thanks for the amazing work on this!

It won't work correctly if the player doesn't have NWNCX installed (they won't see their character's head). To provide fallback for players without NWNCX, you can use 2 versions of haks - one for vanilla client, one for NWNCX enabled client.

excellent, though why is the name of the dummy nwncx_openface? Wouldn't be better simply openface? I understand you want to credits, but these prefixes are quite silly actually, hopefully its not virusman_openface, but still.

[virusman]

The prefix means that it's NWNCX-specific and won't work without NWNCX. Not to mix it up with any other node names.
I don't need credit, I needed a node name that wouldn't confuse CC makers.
