[Request for help] A Song of Ice and Fire / Game of Thrones

[Legacy_Social-Incursio]

                He out there!

I'm planning to create a module set in the world of Westeros, you know Westeros... you like it? Good, read on!
I think Neverwinter Nights is a great base to make a module set in this setting, but some "things" I missed to make the player think he is in Westeros.

I'm planning to create stuff to make its possible to create a module in Westeros. And I'm planning to make such a module but thats later on. First I want to make a base for more than myself, simply said "Project of Thrones" '> I don't want to create only that stuff that I need for MY module, more I like to create stuff that everybody can make a module set in westeros. And there you are: Are you able to make Custom Content for Neverwinter Nights? Please help me, I will need any help!

For now I'm planning what to create, some things a ... have to and to be clear but some less.
I will create this stuff in english because the community speaks english and I can reach more people than in another language, but thats not my motherlanguage so sorry for mistakes ~~~ I will beat them.

Yes! We *love* to make stuff!

And we love to help new CC Makers!

Have you read the Monthly CC Challenge thread? You can submit a theme for voting on (like Westeros). If it wins the vote, then a bunch of talented and enthusiastic people jump in and make stuff :-)

               FYI some of this has been done before, so you could look at what others have done and consider ways to improve upon it.

The first link was a fun module to play, and immersive.

               Have played the "A Song of Ice and Fire - The Night's Watch" module yet a little bit and it's very good. The author of it have really good take what he get and make it.
But my plans still stand.. '>

               Ok, some tips:

1) Instead of "I wanna make something nice for "A Song of Ice..."  Tell folks exactly what you wish to make or need them to make, as in:  a) I need a bazaar, or I will make a specific tile group etc.  Without details, you are not going to get much help.

2) A "Project" here on the Bioware forums is nearly a waste of time.  Few (none that I have ever seen) ever have comments/discussions, and few if any have any files.  Projects here can't be found without specific searches, and most folks simply will not bother to search for hidden projects.  So, to solve that, just post your thread as you have done, but give folks some details on exactly what you need or think is missing from NWN that someone might be willing to help create.

I have read the Series by George R.R. Martin on this, in fact, I am currently Re-reading it and I have read dozens of OTHER books/story-lines as well.  Meaning, I have absolutely no idea what you might need to make your module work.

If you can find pictures of the specifics that you want, folks might be able to help you create it, if what you need requires special creatures, give some details and maybe a custom content author might get interested.  However, it seems like you are asking for a team of folks to help you create a custom module with all required tilesets, creatures, scripting etc, and for that you may need to post in the Guilds and Registry "Ye olde Tavern" Threads, or the Dungeon Masters threads.  I have not seen too many folks attempting to start a project here in CC land as here we are mostly dedicated to specific ideas/requests, and creating everything described in a dozen book series by an author that uses a thousand words to describe a tree, is sorta over kill.

I love George R. R. Martins' books, and the series "A Song of Ice and Fire" but there is a huge amount of details in those books, and thus a huge amount of custom content requests buried within.  You MUST get more specific to get real help here.

                Okay there I'll go:First thanks for reading and give some tips to me!
Sure I can make a module, but I want to make it visuall that the player is really in Westeros! I will create banners by myself, think thats not so difficult at first! But two thinks I think about how to make:
- The Iron Throne:
s1.directupload.net/images/121005/bgckli26.jpg
should be not so difficult if somebody able to make Placeables!
- The Wall:
s14.directupload.net/images/121005/5jlju34a.jpg
No... I don't really know how to implement... facts: make it as Tileset (very very much to do) and a small second tileset named "on the wall" is the best answer to this. But I think it will never happen or I try it. The Tileset should near the castle exterior tileset, but with snow on the ground should look like very cold. In the module (second post) it is a good implementation but... y know?
Maybe I try to much make it look like in the movie "Game of Thrones" but the player will like it, I know.
Okay more we really don't need, sure you BE ABLE to make a lot more stuff of that. But don't need.


I have take a look at the people who like Game of Thrones and there are two different factions: The people who like the "Game of Thrones topic" and the faction who like the "Wall topic". The first is more political and with lots of networks of intrigues, the second is more fighting and be afraid of the death and fight with the... SPOILER death?!

Can you get this both together? Sure... but its difficult! The Nigh****ch don't be able to leave the wall: Thats good for a module, but its not good, because the player is not able to travel around the world!

               Ok, for the throne, well, that one I will leave for someone with better skills than mine at creating placeables... my mind's eye pictured something a bit different, more uncomfortable, with sharp edges and points sticking into the person sitting on the thrown... the book I am currently reading from the series "A Storm of Swords" has a description of that thrown with the extra pointy type of seat etc... mentions that whomever sits on that thrown gets cut a bit each time they sit on it.

Anyway, the "Wall" bit might be possible by starting with a copy of the high wall from TNO/Castle Exterior from 1.69, then cutting out the high wall bits and re-skinning those with a wintery feel.  Would make it a lot easier to get that created.

Having said that, I think there is a person somewhere in this CC forum of folks that has actually started a project along those lines, but is creating new tiles I think.  I seem to recall some initial images, but I could be wrong... Let's hope that whomever it was, catches this thread and speaks up.

As far as the NIght Watch is concerned, you should be able to find a set of black armour etc, and create a "faction" with the current set of tools available.  Having an area or two (Picking out the names of some of the castles that are mentioned in the books as being set inside/alongside the wall) you could easily create a section of your quest that visits or passes through a section of the wall.  That should all be possible if you have a small tileset to give you the high wall on a raised terrain, that is set as winter.  I know there are tiles for that in 1.69 Castle Exterior Rural or whatever it is called.  Should be able to cut those out of the set without too much difficulty.  Do a global search for the different terrain/crosser combinations and just copy and renumber those tiles into a new set.

If I had my full set of tools on this computer, I might be able to help with that, but I am at least 2 months away from being back home where I could even start such a project.

As I mentioned, maybe that person that I remember who started a "Wall" type of tileset will jump in here to help out.

               Is he sixsixsix? '>

I love work of DLA and projectq because its a awesome quality and content that is in my mind, im longer in the NWN community that my joined date said, I have created a new Nick because lost PW and that was the easier way. Have webspace and want put only NWN stuff on it: Module, hosting ... (if somebody want that I host his module or hak please ask, the vault is good but sometimes very slow in point of downloading and permission).

For now I will starting to try a little bit modeling with 3dsmax and craft a simple starter module to make experience with module making!
I'm sooooooo happy that the NWN community neverwinter dies! '>

Make sure you don't use words that contain the letters a-s-s or t-w-a-t. '>

'Night Watch' is two words anyway, but you allso have to write Grass Master
if you want to use the name of the creator of some roman tiles that can be
found at the Vault even though his nick is usually just one word.

               As the wall only consists of ice, you should check out six Frozen Abyss tileset, as it has some nice ice walls:

October 2011 Custom Content Challenge

Perhaps with some added chasm it could be used for the top of the wall. Other than that you could sumbit the theme for the Custom Content Challenge, like Rolo mentioned.
