Sloping hills

1varangian

I've started building my own mod and have a beginners question.

What mod do I need to install to be able to build sloping hills and organic elevations? I don't want to be stuck with the stiff ramps and pronounced levels of vanilla NWN, they are my main eyesore with the NWN visuals.

Will this be part of EE officially or will it only be possible through hakpaks?

Use 1.69 Tileset called Castle Exterior, Rural and you are all set. So yeah, already part of EE officially.

Thanks! But it only works with that one tileset? How about forests?

I believe some of the expanded tilesets in CEP have slopes for their version of Rural and Forest. I would download and install the newest version of CEP (Community Expansion Pack).

Cool. Now I'm just not sure if I should wait for the EE release before going to full build mode.

That's what I thought, but didn't dare to write it last evening as I was not 100% sure of it. Thanks! :-)

Get the Project Q haks to turn Castle Exterior, Rural into a good forest tileset as well

One of the areas in my current module project I am most proud of is a forest maze with many hills using the castle exterior tileset. I second that recommendation. The difference in elevation can be pretty pronounced (note the trees near the bottom as opposed to those on the top)

You never know what you'll find on the vault:



And that's just the standard rural.

Could you provide a link to that toro?

That one looks great.

I'm working on some addons for the Standard tilesets

The following screenshots are of the Standard Rural Tileset using an Override/addon hak I'm creating for it.









If you can't tell, there are sloped hills in those screenshots.




The following screenshots are of the Standard City Tileset using an Override/addon hak I'm currently creating.














I want to rework the forest tileset, along with a lot of the interior tileset adding ceilings and a few other things.




Believe it or not I really didn't know how to do any of this at all a year and a half ago. There for, I have learnt a lot while trying to create these reworks of the Standard Tilesets. So I'm now going back and reworking some of the things I have already done making them even better when it comes to working with the game engine.


I'm creating these reworks in a way so that they don't screw with the current walkmesh, while at the same time changing models and adding new features for future builders. I want these reworks to be able to be used with older modules, while at the same time giving a whole new look and features for future modules.


If anyone would like to help with this project feel free to contact me here or on neverwintervault.org. I have even created some YouTube Videos to help people get started learning how to create custom content like this, as long as your willing to learn.
