Monthly CC Challenge

[Legacy_Calvinthesneak]

               Does anyone actually use Pheno 2 at all Ben?  I mean there's the occasional dedicated roleplayer that will, but most use pheno 0.  I never include options for pheno 2 when making haks, I can't justify the limited use versus the megabytes of hak space they require.  Sometimes I think I should include gnomes in that group too.

Six is right that you need a max file to work from, though with mass import it's not that hard.

I think I may be overreacting to that anyway. I'm used to working with robes like the open hauberk for Q, and we have to make close to 50 versions of everything to account for custom animation sets - as well as which for some of the ACP sets and especially the 1.69 horse animations you really do have to make major edits for robes with detail on the pelvis and leg areas to look right. Now I come to think about plain old NWN for a minute it shouldn't be too hard.

               Updating the Themes' list:

(Note: I'll no longer keep original's idea poster, because it becomes tedious once a few people refine/expand an idea, and in a Community project sense its kind of counterproductive to forward anyone's name in particular (not sure that make sense to anyone besides me, but since I started that on my own, I'm ending it the same way XD )

- Field war hospital, after the battle (need a better description)
- Magi scrying devices, and wondrous miscellaneous items of power
- Airships
- Missing gender armor parts addition
- New "better" weapons
- Commoner's clothing
- Bucanneer/Pirates custom content

Let me know how you feel about the "open last week of month poll" idea to choose next theme, or if you have an idea to chose the next one. Or I'll throw a dice and pray that modellers follow XD

               I don't think "State of the Art" necessarily needs to be in there.  My idea was simply, more weapons.



A poll seems like a good idea, it'll give an impression of what people would get the most use out of, at least.

               If I may suggest a theme, here it is: "Post-apocalyptic themed CC"

I second this notion! Even if I am slightly biased...
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Tyndrel]

               As I'm currently trying to rewrite the dark ages I'll be biased too and go for some post apocalyptic stuff... please. '>

P.S. More updates on these threads please, it inspires me to go on with the Blender tutorials, I have a very very long way to go yet but seeing what others can do gives me the push that I so frequently need.

               I would like to request that a future challenge focus on HOLY SYMBOLS. There are precious few of them in NWN and most of them are CROSSES. Now, I have NEVER done a campaign that involved RL religions (I'm happy using fictitious pantheons of my own creation) and they need HOLY SYMBOLS. How about it? Does not everyone need these?



Be well. Game on.

               Halloween theme for October is a must.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Jez_fr]

               About Post-Apocalypse, please specify Modern or not, and also what kind of stuff. Its like saying "do Medieval stuff". yeah well, but what exactly? XD

Please try to give fairly precise themes! thanks! ^^
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Estelindis]

               Personally, I'd be more keen for non-modern stuff, but there are certain kinds of things that could work for medieval or modern apocalypses.  



So, are we having a poll or what?  Or are we just stating our preferences?  Personally, I like the idea of the field hospital.  If we ended up doing that, I'd make body parts with bandages / wounds / scars, which I know I have a use for in my module anyway.  So I guess I'm kinda prejudiced that way!  Honestly, I think all the ideas are good.  The only one I couldn't see myself doing next month is an airship, because it would be too much work for me in September.

               Personally, I agree there are not nearly enough holdable holy symbols for a D&D type setting. I'm implementing a holy symbol system for my upcoming module as we speak, and there are precious few left if one chooses to remove the crosses (which I did). However, I also suspect that holy symbols would not really be challenging enough for a month-long challenge. Besides, creating flexible, non-specific holy symbols is extremely difficult.



Perhaps holy symbols would be better for a one day type of thing, or a weekend challenge? Or perhaps some awesome & talented individual will get inspired and make a batch of them?



As for the theme of the challenge, as much as I love modern and sci-fi stuff, the fact is that non-modern stuff will honestly get more actual use in the community. Kudos on the great idea for this challenge, and thanks for driving it forward. Some really beautiful stuff so far.

               ok, Poll is up here: Vote for September CC Challenge here

As I'm a bit late (sorry about that, playing games is way too time consuming XD), and we'd rather have a minimum of votes I think, we'll wait a week to see the result if everyone's cool with that. So, the chosen will be the one with the most vote by September 04 at midnight (or September 05 at 0.00 as you like XD )

Vote away!

@Invisig0th: thanks for the support
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Estelindis]

               I'd be able to put together holdable holy symbols without too much trouble just by myself.  I need to get around to tweaking and releasing my holy symbol amulet pack first, though - and it'd just be FR gods, unless people make requests for other gods.



Now, for this poll...
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Mecheon]

               Just to add to themes, something vaguely underwater exploration themed. Like diving bells or diving helmets. Retro-ish enough to look like they'd fit into NWN well, Steamworks level tech, of course
