Random feedback on Aligned "VFX-cessories":

Placement: Heads and Torso/Back only ATM (due to tech limits)

Back only accessories... would something like this be possible? The mechadendrites ( mechancical tentacles)

Yess... a 'wearable' parasite that can be attached to the back of anyone's neck.

[Carcerian]

Lol funny, was thinking of face huggers too...

Greyhawk's Scarlet Brotherhood has some intresting
bio-engineered symbiote and parasite ideas for sure...

The Star-Trek Style (back of the neck mind controller)
is referred to as an "Overseer" if I remeber correctly.

d20 Modern has something not unlike the Middle Screenie.



It actually uses neck slot, thugh different parts could be wings, TaVFX, robe parts, etc.

If you want them animated you would probably want to make them wings I'd think...

The Doc-Oc Tentacles would def be cool to see animated

Right, d20 does have the large set of mechadendrites, but something like the first screenie would be awesome. I was thinking when you said back, you meant the wing slot.  

[Carcerian]

I just meant placement for Aligned Visual Effects can use only one of 2 impact nodes, the head or the torso (back).

VFX can of course be animated, you just would only have one repeating animation, over the different ones wings would allow. Wings demand more resources as well, as adding too many animations (such as 169 Dragon Wings) you can get lag when said wings first appear onscreen...

An extra set (or two) of colorable arms would make a great wing set, for cyborgs, mutants, outsiders, part-marillith, Xill...



Different varieties could be armed, unarmed slamming fists, casting hands (as the CODI Glabrezu)

Ahh, I see what you are saying now. Is there a tutorial someplace that discusses the process for making custom wings?

I'll be submitting a weird sort of... in-game character creation kind of thing? It's a few precisely arranged custom placeables, combined a set of scripts intended to look a little bit like part of vNWN's GUI and using OnClick to let a player alter appearances (head model, mainly). I guess it'll make more sense when I post an image.

Ahh, I see what you are saying now. Is there a tutorial someplace that discusses the process for making custom wings?

Bloodsong wrote one (not necessarily for beginners) as part of his universal wings and tails...

Universal Wings/Tails:

  Creating Models that Use Them  (advanced users)

  Adding them to your PC  (novice users, skip to part 5)


1: THE MODEL FILE

   the model file must have a dummy named "wings" and/or a dummy named "tail" (i think you can figure out which one is for which).

   you can just copy any dummy (handconjure is fine) and rename it "wings" or "tail" and link it to the appropriate base bodypart.  (ie: chest or pelvis, or wherever you want these things sticking out.)
   the wings node should be embedded pretty far into the model, so the wings stick into the body.  the tail should be up a little high, as some of the tails... well, they all aim a little differently, some tails are low and some are high.



2: THE APPEARANCE.2DA FILE

   you must also tell the appearance.2da file that the model can have wings/tails added to it, as well as what size those parts should be.

   look in the appearance 2da column labels.  the columns you want are MODELTYPE and WING_TAIL_SCALE.  the scale column is obvious, put 1.0 for standard, human-sized wings/tails.  use smaller numbers for smaller parts and bigger numbers for bigger parts.
   the model type isn't so obvious.  there are 4 types: P, S, F, and L.  P is for PC (or is it 'part based'?), which takes wings/tails by default.  any other creature will have to have a W and/or a T added to its model type to express the fact it can take wings and/or a tail.  (ie: L becomes LW for a large, wing-changing model; S becomes ST for a simple, tail-changing model; F becomes FWT for a full, wing/tail-changing model.)

   here are example lines from the appearance 2da.  turn off line breaks to be able to read it....

##         LABEL                   STRING_REF   NAME                   RACE              ENVMAP        BLOODCOLR   MODELTYPE   WEAPONSCALE   WING_TAIL_SCALE   HELMET_SCALE_M   HELMET_SCALE_F   MOVERATE   WALKDIST   RUNDIST   PERSPACE   CREPERSPACE   HEIGHT   HITDIST   PREFATCKDIST   TARGETHEIGHT   ABORTONPARRY   RACIALTYPE   HASLEGS   HASARMS   PORTRAIT         SIZECATEGORY   PERCEPTIONDIST   FOOTSTEPTYPE   SOUNDAPPTYPE   HEADTRACK   HEAD_ARC_H   HEAD_ARC_V   HEAD_NAME         BODY_BAG   TARGETABLE

3: MAKING NEW WINGS/TAILS UNIVERSAL:

   if you build a wing/tail that uses any of the base models as a supermodel, it will automatically be 'universal.'  (as long as you have my base mdl files in your hak!)

   if you make all-new animations, you will have to create two sets: the normal (pc) set, and the simpler creature set.  this isn't hard, just copy similar sets with new names.  ie: walk to cwalk, 2hslashl to ca1slashl, etc.
   since they are only wings/tails, the motion won't be too detailed, except for a lot of flapping and waggling.  you don't even have to bother with all the short animations that last a split-second.  cover the main attack animations, the walking/running animations, and the looping animations (such as conjure, fall back/forward, etc).  for the rest, the wings/tail will freeze up and remain static, but it isn't that noticeable if, for example, the wings don't flap while you sidestep left or stab short distance forward.
   so, here's the list of animations to copy.  it isn't that long at all!

WING ANIM CONVERSION LIST

FROM        TO

appear        cappear
disappear    cdisappear
disappearlp    cdisappearlp

1hslashl    ca1slashl
1hslashr    ca1slashr

dodges        cdodges

nwstab        ca1stab

kdbck        ckdbck
kdbkps        ckdbckps
kdbckdmg    ckdbckdmg
kdbckdie    cdkbckdie

spasm        cspasm

deadback    cdead

walk        cwalk
pause1        cpause1

run        crun

taunt        ctaunt


4: PUTTING IT ON YOUR CREATURE:

   if all went well, you should be able to select your creature appearance in the toolset, go to the advanced tab and pick wings and/or tails to put on it.  note: when you first add wings/tails to a creature that uses a scale other than 1.0, you won't see the proper scale until you exit the creature properties.

   if it doesn't go well...

   if you can select wings/tails to add to the model, but they do not appear, somehow your nodes are not in the model, or they are named wrong.  make sure you use "wings" or "tail" (and not "wing" or "tails") as the dummy name.  also remember to link the dummy to its parent body part!
   if you can't even select wings/tails to add, then something is not right in the 2da file.


5: PUTTING IT ON YOUR PC:

   you will edit your character with LETO.  (http://sourceforge.net/projects/leto)  if you are not familiar with using LETO, please see the LETO home page:  (http://weathersong.infopop.cc/6/ubb.x)
   first, create a copy of the character you want to work on.  this is best done by going into NWN, loading the character into any module, and doing Save Character.
   run LETO and load the copy of your pc character.  go to the advanced editor -- menu: tools: advanced editor.  scroll down past the stats and skin/hair colours until you find the entries named Tail and Wings.  this is where you change -- guess what! -- the tail and/or wings.
   you will need the wings/tail line number from the wingmodel.2da or tailmodel.2da.  look in the wingtaillist.txt file for these.  now, double-click the Tail or Wing number, which should currently be 0, and type in your new number.  (do not touch where it says UINT8). 
   you must now save from the advanced editor; this is important, since it doesn't have a file: save option.  right-click on any line in the editor, then you will see Save File.  click OK on the default options for saving the bic.  now this is the tricky part.  select a copy of your character you want to overwrite (ie: the original).  don't try to put in a new name, it doesn't work right (at least for me).  remember to always have more copies/backups of your character before you do this.
   now, your pc will have the wings/tail of the number(s) you entered.

IMPORTANT: YOU WILL NOT SEE ANY WINGS/TAIL ON YOUR PC IF YOU GO INTO A MODULE THAT DOES NOT USE THIS HAK or a compatible hak,  YOU WILL NOT SEE ANY WINGS/TAILS ON YOUR PC IN THE ORIGINAL CAMPAIGNS, NOR PREMIUM MODULES, NOR PWS THAT DO NOT USE THIS HAK.

   WITHOUT THE HAK IN THE MODULE, THERE ARE NO WINGS/TAILS IN THE MODULE.

   read all the all-caps stuff again if you edit your pc and don't see wings/tails on it.

   now, you *can* open this hak in the NWN Hak Editor (poke around in your NWN directory, it's there somewhere, named "nwhak.exe"), and Export all the files into your "Override" directory.  THEN, you will see wings/tails in the original campaigns, and in the premium modules.  you MAY or MAY NOT see them in modules that use other haks,  you MAY or MAY NOT see them in pws that use other haks, and other people DEFINITELY WILL NOT see the wings/tail you see when you join other games.

IMPORTANT: STUFF IN YOUR OVERRIDE DIRECTORY IS ON YOUR COMPUTER AND ONLY YOU CAN SEE IT.  NO ONE ELSE CAN SEE IT, unless they have the same files in their override.

   the override directory is simply a directory named "override" (or "Override") under your main NWN directory.  if you do not have one, you can simply make one.
