Cluckyx's Almighty Override Guide **UPDATED 08/06/10**

[Secutor]

Thanks for that last one, Humoresque. It's a gem. Now we just need something similar to the tropical version of this tileset.

[FleetingHeart]

I added the monster scaling, NPC glow one to the original post. That override was linked by FleetingHeart. Thanks, FleetingHeart!

Hmph! Not just linked, I spent several seconds using find and replace to make that override thank you very much! :-)

These over-rides are truly dope. For real.

I'm re-installing NWN, and downloading these cool overrides.

Cluckyx (or other knowledgable individuals) we aren't supposed to install
apperance.2da, but all I see is appearance.2da.  Note the second name has one more "a" in it.  

So are these two different files and appearance.2da SHOULD be installed?  

Or have you been typing apperance.2da when you meant appearance.2da?

Thanks.

My suggestion about the appearance.2da, due to many changes of patches till reach 1.69, download all the override packs you wish, then replace the appearance.2da for this one, that removes the annoying glowing of scaled creatures http://www.escapefromunderdark.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=114&d=1248902380 (by FleetingHeart)

And the this one, so you can see the backpacks, scabbards, etc. through the cloaks.  http://www.escapefromunderdark.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=94&d=1244482813 (by Raposa_Fox)

It's just a typo. Delete the appearance.2da, or as suggested, replace it with the one I created.

I'd like to learn how to adapt Haks to Overrides... I'd like to get proper Dynamic Goblins and Kobolds in an Override, so the monster races can wear armor and helms... it always kills the immersion to see all the monster races wearing the same three pairs of torn rags, ramshackle armor, and loincloths.

The expanded Heads Hak being made into a override would be nice as well. The Dwarves in it have much better beards, and long hair, snagly teeth, and more are opened up as possibilities.

I mean, look at these guys... they're serious business. A definite boon for Monster PCs. You could also have "civilized" goblins wearing soiled, gaudy robes, and all that fun stuff.

dude i just died and went to heaven upon viewing those sickly geckoes in garb.

[Sedarine]

After being away a while I noted my NWN install wasn't my sweet modded out version I used to run and went to re-up my mad mods collection...

..in short, the link for the repackaged orcs override is down.

[FleetingHeart]

Use the links above that Sedarine. There are three that include overrides for a whole heap of monsters, orcs included.

[FleetingHeart]

Updated this with a couple overrides of note that were scattered around.

[Pup]

Collect the whole batch of downloads.  It's fantastic.  I will point out that I've found that the "Whole batch" offered leaves out the NWN portraits and soundsets, so download those as well!

And welcome to our insular little paradise!

Monster Scaling glow - Fix without taking blur fx away

Yeah, I almost hit a guy the other day telling him to leave the shadows, turned out he was covered in blur. So, this fix will still do the job with the scaled creatures glowing, but still maintain the blurring FX. I hope it helps. Simply download it and unzip to your override folder, replacing the old appearance.2da

Cheers.
