Hand Crossbow
« on: April 27, 2011, 02:21:22 pm »


               Is there anyone out there that has or can link me to a custom hand crossbow? I have looked at the D20 modern guns i think it was and they look like you could make one of them into a crossbow but I have this much skill as a modeller.

^^^^That empty space up there? That is my modelling skillz. Now I can Look too sexy for my shirt and even rock the kasbah on ocasion. I can even yodel. But I canot model in NWN.

Can someone help out a poor brudda?


This is the only one I found but 2002?

               Without re-animating quite a bit, these won't really look right in-game (both the standard crossbow stance and the sling stance would look fairly unusual with it). Considering changing the sling animations would break throwing weapons/slings, and changing the crossbow animations would change light and heavy crossbows, it's probably not something you can do without replacing them entirely.

Someone did a hak for modern weapons and showed a player using a hand gun in the modern sense. It should *in theroy mind you* be easy for someone to port those same animations over I would assume for a hand crossbow hak.

Even a club/wand animation would work I would think.

               Maybe you're thinking about GiveMeDeath's Combat Override Demo(video)?

I'm not a big fan of saying something can't be done but I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to create a new ranged weapon and at every turn there is some extremely painful tradeoff one has to make in order to continue.  GiveMeDeath's elegant solution required many custom animations and the use of NWNX work around all of the problems.  For firearms, anyway, in which it is unsurpassed IMO.

Even then, though, I don't think it comes with an ammo system which D20's system does.

If you are good at scripting, especially if you are used to using NWNX, you might want to take a look at GiveMeDeath's solution, which does not require that you sacrifice an existing ranged weapon.  You're still not going to have a bolt flying from the player to their target but there's another NWNX plugin which might allow you to accomplish that as well.

If it's just that single one-handed crossbow, though, I don't think you're going to be happy with the amount of work that has to be put in versus the product you get out of the whole process.  I'd love to be wrong.

               Actually that is what I was looking for to link. And I do use NWNX and will give it a look in depth as never did because it was a modern weapn pack. My biggest problem is I do not know how to model at all.

You guys are forcing me to learn damn you! I am so eating the bunny....
