You should know by now that I *never* show anything until I send it in. Heck I don't normally let it be known that I am working on something until it is done. 'cos I discard a lot of stuff that I don't rate as snuff. Oh, throw it - I've got poet - disease again!!!

<clapping...>

Poet disease...? <just walk away, boss. he's crazy>
You should talk. <*raven goggle* excuse me mister i-talk-to-imaginary-birds?>
*cough* Yes. Well.

@ TR (purposely turning his back on his familiar): While we *do* know and love... <sorta>
...your quirks, screenies do so much to energize this thread, don'tcha think? ;-)

[3RavensMore]

phenix-rising, those books are gorgeous.

[OldTimeRadio]

@phenix-rising & @Cestus Dei - Very impressive!

[Tarot Redhand]

Patience Rolo. If I make something, by the time its ready for screenies, its just about ready for sending in...

TR

[Fester Pot]

Great work!

Looking forward to seeing screens of all the other entries!

FP!

[Tarot Redhand]

Rolo your patience has been rewarded. Unfortunately I had problems attaching the archive to an email so I put it on dropbox. You will see why I had problems with screenies when you get it.

<using a scoop...>

Sent it in to nwnmakers... with a smile on my face :-)
The screenshot? Heh. Hard to capture it all in one and we wouldn't want to spoil the surprise, anyway :-)

Still, as End of the Road spoils to be found, these are pretty good :-)

Actually Rolo, if I figure out how to fix a tiny niggle, I'll replace the erf and module.

TR

[Tarot Redhand]

Nope can't seem to fix the little annoyance. What it is, is that in the demo items properties they all marked as identified and the checkbox is greyed out. Cest la vie. Looks like I'll just have to leave it to people to use scripting in any module that uses any of the demos to change them to unidentified.

TR

[henesua]

if an item has no properties, then I believe it is automatically identified.

[Tarot Redhand]

Oooops! Just realised. Didn't actually say what my submission is. I have created a mere (as in small number) 17 new inventory icons representing scrolls/scraps of paper etc. in two sizes (1x1 and 1x2). In fact I thought they were so few that I created 17 example items (1 for each icon) to go with them.

Done with my troll head on a stick placeable model and portrait. Now I just need to take a few minutes and whip up onUsed and onDamaged scripts to go with it so that it will try to bite PCs that mess with it.

This month, I've been a pro at that crastination thing.

[Sir Adril]

Well, I put a prefab entry in - a shield with a short but interesting backstory. I'd love to try modeling, but 3DS Max is being a nuisance.

I *like* purple =)



I urge you to join both the CC Maker's & 3D Studio Max groups. We'll get you addic... er, hooked in no time. <*face-wing*>
Er, "Hooked up" I mean. <right>
Yeah, hooked up. =) <slick, ace>
Hush, bird. <like that will happen>
*sigh*

Edit: I ever mention how much I love screenies? <yeah, boss... a few times>

<...rather awkward, insipid stick figure>

My jousting colors were going to be purple and black. But I never got my chance, the company folded before I worked my way up to knight.

Thanks for getting me hooked up with those groups, Rolo. I haven't modeled for NWN before, but I do dabble in 3D rendering and modeling for other things. Hopefully the learning curve won't be so bad coming from a decent 3D background already

[Rolo Kipp]

<dusting off...>

I came from the old Amiga with Imagine. A decade later, my first CC for NwN was the Crone.

Someone very spirited told me I was nuts. She was, of course, right. She always is. None-the-less, I try to make *something* every month. It really keeps the juices flowing.

Still, I can't really recommend diving in quite so deep as I did, to start :-P

The Amethyst Dragon, who might possibly be the single most prolific modeler for NwN, started, I believe, simply retexturing things to his vision. I love that big galoot! =) <especially his hoard>
Ixnay on the oard-ay, Bother <right. maybe he'll forget to guard it next time>
Could happen. <don't hold your breath>
*sigh*

Yeah, nothing quite that involved for my first try. I'm thinking a butcher's market stall with meat and ducks hanging from hooks, some knives on a chopping block, and if I'm feeling really ambitious, some live animated chickens in small cages

[Rolo Kipp]

<grins...>

That's actually a pretty ambitious first project :-)
Just remember to post whenever you need:

• Help
• Criticism
• Inspiration
• Admiration
• or simply to brag a bit :-)

And master posting images in the forum :-)
I *like* images =)

Yes, basic retexturing is where I started on NWN custom content.  A few creatures, a couple of placeables, and the game's GUI...all were basically just Photoshop work combined with changing a model's "bitmap" line in Notepad.  I'd never had any experience with 3D model making, or with writing script (beyond raw html), or with organizing NWN stuff in 2da files and haks until I had a need and I found help in the NWN community.

NWN is a game where we can put almost anything in that we can think of, or change almost anything we want.  If you can imagine it, there's about a 95% chance it can somehow be made to work in NWN.

Me, prolific? Maybe.   Reluctanct with self-promotion?  Nope.

And if you want to see my hoard...that can be arranged.  It's just constantly guarded by four very loud and active wyrmlings, and perhaps a tattling avian (btw, I've finished installing the shallow aquarium for the snails).

[Rolo Kipp]

<pointing out a gap...>

You need to add a list of CCC stuff, AD :-) All them monk placeables and the shell game <psst. boss. don't mention the shell game. he might get suspicious>
er, the...the... <snowshoes>
Snowshoes! Yeah! and elven spires and things too heavy to lift... ;-P

And quit spoiling my familiar. She's fat enou... <*raven glare*>
Er, stout enou...<*heavy raven glare*>
Ah, *pampered* enough as it is <hardly. you're in trouble, old man>
uh, snail? <*sniff* *glare*>

See what you started, AD? <begging might work>
*thinks about kneeling* <but probably wont>
*thinks about running* <i'm nearly as fast as a swallow>
European or... <don't even try>
*sigh*

<...and hoping the dragon and the bird are distracted>

[phenix-rising]

Such lovely treasures to behold... Great work everyone!

As requested, the tomes are now holdable as well. These are based entirely on the good and evil tomes by Rubies. I take no credit whatsoever.



And I couldn't resist one last-minute addition. Pictured above is the aforementioned dragonscale and platinum bound first edition copy of "A is for Ankheg, B is for Barghest," opened to show the C and D entries with the full text in the description.
