September 2010 CC Challenge: Pirates!

[Legacy_Pstemarie]

               Morikhan, try looking up imagery on Moorish Pirates - specifically the Barbary Pirates. In reality the Arabians weren't known for piracy and there is every indication that the stories of Sinbad may have originated in Moorish lands then spread westward through trade.

               Hmm I wanted to make Dread Pirate prestige class, now just started and I find out that this prestige class is already completed by Kaedrin for NWN2. Have it any sense to make it for NWN1 then, maybe a bit differently?
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Eradrain]

               You should definitely make it, Shadow.  You could change it up a little for variety if you wanted, but even if you used the stock class right out of the books (Which is what I assume Kaedrin uses), it'd still be great since his package is for NWN2, and most laypeople won't know how to port it over.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_B_Harrison]

               Agreed; a pirate PrC would be a great addition, and it's just as much CC as placeables and clothing.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Estelindis]

               I also agree!  With such a great variety of different types of custom content in this month's challenge, it'll be a near-complete package for those who want to build a pirate-themed module.  :-)

               Those of us doing clothing items or robes, what numbers are you going to be using? Just to avoid the unlikely event of overlapping. I'm probably going to be adding robe116.

               Looks pretty darn good, Six.

Only thing that stands out is that the chest-to-shirt transition seems a bit too unnaturally sharp,  presumably because they're just differently textured parts of the same model.  Is there any way the collar of the shirt could be modeled apart from the chest, or the texture darkened nearer the skin?  It just looks a little too....angular and sudden, I guess.

               Nice work Six. Any chance of the custom content challenge stuff getting added to Project Q?

Well if I have my wicked way, any created by myself or morikahn will eventually. As for the rest, it's up to the authors who created it, if they'd like it to be - though Q mostly only deal in art assets. And of course I'm sure nobody would mind the content going into other folks haks.

Anyway. I've pretty much finished (touch wood) the Ghoul Pirate, which you can download in it's completed (touch wood) form from here, along with a portrait and 2da references. The robe model version of the coat is still a work in progress.

That would be a nice addition, sure. But please if you include Kaedrin's work, be sure to ask him first, then credit him, as teamwork, and also it would need a guide to include this in a module of course. Other than that that would be real nice to have other things than models too.

In that same thinking 1 or 2 (male, female) pirate soundset would be excellent and very usefull. I know there's some good sound FX modders around. we'd need writers to write appropriate pirates sentences, then some voice actors to act and record, and the sound engineer to edit the sound properly. Any takers? =)

@Six: scary =)
Could we have buckled shoes please? '>

we are going somewhere now, that's great!
