Some Advice on Haks Please

[Legacy_TSMDude]

               So drop the ccp, keep the ctp were it is though the dwarven halls are in the cep now are they not? Keep the csp and the cmp, go to my Pta meeting with the vp who is a vip and hope she does not end up kia or i will go mia and end up on KP?

*shakes heads to clear all the acroynms*

               There are elements of the Dwarven Halls in the CEP Crypt set, but not the full blown version with all the whistle and bells of the stand alone haks.

I wonder if we should sue the cep_races and cep_classes hak to start fidlling with...nah...that be a bad idea as if the cep ever does it then the players would be screwed...
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_TSMDude]

               (And yes I do pull the optional build one off for later and might clean up for optimizing just wondering if you hak-a-lot gurus have any idea if that looks kosher.)
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Pstemarie]

               Didn't CEP include the CTP_generic doors? If so it seems kind of redundant to include it again...

I'd also like to see RDDs in all the metalic and chromatic variations...

Check out Nwn Enhanced - I had done this for that project and the classes (2das and scripts) could easily be ported over to work with CEP. I also had it so that you got appropriately colored wings when the time came.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_TSMDude]

               I actually really like the NWN Enhanced and think it might be more of what we are looking for than the PRC as the PRC seems a bit too much to be honest. Do you think someone who is new to haks but not scripting be able to get the CEP and the Enhanced working in unison?

And on the CTP doors I was wondering about it to be honest as was not sure if I would need that or not but with what karvon said I was thinking i might need it as well.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_TSMDude]

               Also, is the NWN Enhanced forums down and out? I cna not get them to open on any pc here nor the rpg modding forums.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Pstemarie]

               Sadly the NwnE site is gone - didn't see the point of paying for something I wasn't really involved with anymore. Furthermore, RPGModding tanked as well - although I believe all the forums have moved to the Higherground Consortium (not sure if the NwnE stuff made it there).

You could merge NwnE with CEP, but I'm not sure what the merge would require beyond 2da files. Some of the resources are also duplicated (e.g. NWN2 stuff, among a few others).

There is a NwnE v2 Alpha that has not been released to the public. It includes a merger with the HCR2 and streamlined scripting plus many of the spell fixes that ShaDoOw has implemented into his Community Patch. Furthermore, its compatible with the CTP and the Project Q tileset hak.

I would be more than glad to turn over a copy to you so that you can play around with it. I would also provide rudimentary support - as my time and current projects allow.

               That would be most awesome sauce.

Our email is tsm.builder@gmail.com if it will send that way or my Skype is Paco.Petro if we need to transfer it that way.

               First/ HUGE thank you to all the folks who have sent me advice and links and even actual material. Our Community rocks.

Second/ Big thank you to pstemarie for the sent stuff. It looks awesome sauce.

Third/ I am looking at Senemenelas' Underdark Tileset  right now. The screenies are awesome but I have not heard it used much or mentioned. Is there something I am missing about it?

               I like Senemenelas' Underdark Tileset.
It's a shame that this beautiful tileset gets so little attention.
From what I've seen he got lots of feedback and 40 votes for his tilesets based on the tilesets made by Lord of Worms, but for something almost completely new that certainly took a LOT more work to make and isn't bad at all he only got 11 votes.
And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Lord of Worm's tilesets are bad. They are great. I just feel that Sen should get more positive feedback for something new he made than for something that I'm pretty sure took a lot less time to make.
Correct me if you read this and I am wrong, Senemenelas.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_NWN DM]

               Those look nice... will have to give these some thought as well.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Pstemarie]

               I played around abit with Sen's Underdark when he was developing it. Like Zwerk said, its a great tileset and a lot of work went into - far more I'd venture to say than anything he'd tackled before. If I ever get around to developing an Underdark area, I'll be sure to give the nod to this wonderful addition to Sen's already impressive list of contributions.

               I've been using this haks for almost two years now on my own PW. It and Diademus' Spider caves were what sold me on incorporating other haks besides the CEP at the time.
