NWN Tinkering Again

So good.

[DangerousDan]

Well done, Sir.

I, for one, have no issue with Bilby looking like Ponda Baba, and would like to be a part of beta trials.

No, it was just because someone was asking him for a refund on the money they paid for a room.

What they didn't understand is, money goes into Kingsman's hand but it never comes out. He just stared until the guy walked away. :(

Ideally I will be able to create a package for each head individually and then people can pick and choose which packs they want. However the initial focus will be on getting the entire pack working.

[Ommadawn]

Can't wait.  :)

Alright, things still aren't fixed for large/fat phenotypes, however, anyone who wants to hop in on the beta testing of this override are welcome to do so.

There are two files (rar) to download. EFU Heads A and EFU Heads B.
EFU Heads A containts a Textures_Tpa.erf. This goes in your NWN -> texturepacks folder. NOTE:[/color] I highly recommend you back up this file first somewhere safe and then unzip the erf here.

EFU Heads B is just a bunch of .mdl files that you extract to your override folder. Once you have those in there you are all set to go.

Here are the links to the files. Feel free to comment on any quirkiness that you find as well as post screenshots of your characters.

Another note, the head override that looks like Carth Onasi was not included, though I may swap that one in for the next stage of testing.

EDIT: Removed old download links. Will update first post with new links once files are finished.

Any intent to do other races?

[Conan The Conqueror]

The trick is finding -good- models for other races >_>  I've continued to look through the vault and a few other places, but generally custom content is generated for A) Humans and B) Females

Also, curious if anyone has come across any issues with the overrides?

I will probably be uploading an alternate version soon that includes Carth Onasi's head to replace default Male head 001.

Damn.  I need a better computer but I'll definitely try it down the line some time.

[Conan The Conqueror]

The link for the downloads is busted, I'll have to update it sometime this weekend.

[Conan The Conqueror]

So, picked this back up. Trying to stumble back into whatever progress I made before. Possibly will have an updated version available, and compatible for large phenotype, sometime tonight or tomorrow.

Possibly including a mod of elf heads to make males look less 'grizzled' and fix some texture issues with the Elf heads that were added with HotU.

i gather that these replace the older head styles rather than adding an additional set of heads right?, is there any way that they could be set as new head types rather than replacements?

[Conan The Conqueror]

Unfortunately that would not go over well in a persistent world setting, as if you add heads without a hak, anyone who did not have those override files would then see you as headless.

As EFU is currently a hak free server, this is not an option.

[Elytherin Dragonius]

yeah thats kinda what i figured,

Although i doubt there are many people that didnt download the various portrait packs perhaps if we were to compile a list of game additions that arnt required to play efu but do make the game more fun or add updated features or visuals, i know there is a thread for it but if people are keen to keep the old heads but also want the new heads then perhaps they could be implemented.

As a note for that it would probably be easily added that if the heads were made additional, make an ooc note at the top of the characters description noting that the character user a head from an additional head and to see the efu forums for details,

I think it would add significantly more flavor to the server with only slightly more inconvenience than custom portraits  .  

Just my thoughts
