November's 2010 Custom Content Challenge: Ancient Civilizations
« on: November 01, 2010, 02:02:59 pm »


               Much to my delight, this month’s contest is all about ancient civilizations. For example, but not limited to: Rome, Greece, Egypt, Viking, Oriental,  Incan, Celtic, etc. etc. The possibilities are pretty much endless. Anything and everything goes for this month. Tiles, creatures, NPCs, body parts, clothing, helmets, heads, weapons, loadscreens, icons, portraits, doors, music, or anything else y’all can come up with.

 Rules:
- It must be fully working in game
- Use of vanilla NWN or publicly available texture is fine, though state-of-the-art amateur's work would require 100% original work, but that's up to you.
- Teamwork is also welcome
- Beginners most welcome, don't be afraid, just try, you'll be surprised!

All submissions must be finished, working, and you must provide me with a download link or email before November 30, 2010.

Some things you could include in the download/email that would make packaging everything up easier and faster:
- 2da lines needed
- Screenshot for use on the vault page (this also gives me hints on how to display the new goodie)
- Portraits (if needed) of your new goodie
- Any credits you would like listed
- If this is your first entry, please tell me what name you would like your work listed under and provide a link to your other NWN content if you want that displayed as well (the link bit is totally optional).
- Lots of chocolate. (You can’t blame me for trying to sneak that one in!)

Remember, the Challenge is all about fun, sharing, creativity and surprise!

If you have concerns/questions about November Challenge please post in this thread.

If you want to discuss the Monthly Custom Content Challenge idea as a whole or want to submit ideas/themes for future Monthly Challenges please post in its thread here.

If you have a technical question about some custom content creation, please create a separate thread so that the answers can be found later by anyone, not just people interested in this Challenge. We'll try to help!

Have no fear and join the fun!


And finally, you can vote for next month's theme at the following link:

*edited for formatting and to add the poll link*

               *Clutches a detailed wish list.*   I'm gonna try really hard to behave myself for this challenge.  Stop that laughing Kookoo, I can hear you all the way over here.  I can behave, occasionally, if I really work at it.  Sheesh!

But should y'all need any ideas or links for visual resources, I have well... yeah... LOTS. '<img'>

For my part, I'll most likely do some loadscreens.  So if y'all have ones you want made, let me know.  I can't make new graphics but I can slice and dice an existing one.

               So this suggestion/request from Vipre from the poll does not get lost, I'll re-post it here:

more armor based on designs from ancient civs would be nice also, especially the 2004 movie "King Arthur" http://images.allmov..._arthur_002.jpg

               Just a quick Q, are these REAL historic and ancient places or can we do fantasy based ones such as Lost City of Atlantis and the like?

               I would suggest you can do whatever suits your fancy.  Real or imaginary.  Afterall almost all imaginary civilizations are based off reality somewhere along the way.  And since creators are far more apt to create something great if it inspires them.... as long as it fits in the theme I don't think anyone is going to complain.

Of suggestions I have legion, but sadly the artistic talent of a tick else I'd be right in there. 'Posted

One of the most iconic IMO being Ramses' armor from "The Ten Commandments" Don't think I've seen it done anywhere/would look insanely good on a mummy.

The images shown during install of "Stronghold: Crusader"...fine not ancient exactly but the Arab armor still looks good and sort of fits plus there's great details of the Crusader's different armor styles.

The armor line drawings in the 3rd Ed. PHB/DMG, such great looking armor but I've never seen it done anywhere...fine clearly not ancient but *drool*

               I'm going to set my goals pretty high and attempt a roman legionaire chest plate with tunic as a robe model.

Calvin summed it up well.  =)

@Xialya - Neat shield, where is it "from"?

@Six - I'm so going to need a drool towel.

               This is a Macedonian/Greek shield.

I'm starting with Greek stuff, then certainly moving on Egyptian shields and maybe weapons since I was looking for that myself.
