November 2011 Custom Content Challenge: Underwater Stuff

[Legacy_lordofworms]

               haha, yeah how bout it Haelven, everytime I get ready to introduce a new hak to my PW, AD or Zwerk or Six or some other great content artist comes out with some new great thing that has me postponing updates for weeks...then the worse is when they create something I never planned on using, but its too cool to give up and then I am up till all hours of the night thinking of a 'theme' or 'quest' to incorporate it!

so please oh please CC people dont make spongebob...well ok if you have to, but make sure squidward and patrick are in it as well...'>

               Well you're guilty of adding a quest where a port is being blockaded and the hero has to find a way of removing the blockading ships. It involves getting the ingredients for an explosive to make mines, making a timer for said mines (Mini quest) and then finding a way of staying under water long enough to plant the mines (Three options). You then of course have to run the gaunlet of various underwater beasties to plant them, return, climb the lighthouse and get a very satisfying cutscene when the mines detonate and the ships sink. You then of course have to explore the wrecks to get a certain plot related artifact ( More underwater beasties...) and all because of you superb underwater blimmin' tileset.

               but back on track. if I was better at animation I would tackle this myself.

take the "flying" pheno which is available in many haks, including cep
duplicate it as a new pheno called swimming
(which many ,myself included, use for swimming animations anyways)
and just edit the 'walk' and 'run' animation
so that the hands and arms do that in, out and away move, you know like not paddling or alternating left rights(like swimming above water) but syncronized circular motions.

                LOL, the "breast stroke"?
I must say, I like that one

               Haven't the foggiest notion how to do animations so I'll pass on that. Definately worth a try for someone though. the fighting animations in CEP fly are a bit odd in an underwater environ as well. I think they need slowing a little to simulate water drag.

               Guess ill try to think of some script for a ring of water breathing.

Probally a heartbeat script to check random hour and make it like vfx the pc so he has a bubble around him for a hour but each hour the check is made and if it isnt made then the player will have no bubble around him for that hour.......Thinking about a small light flash right when it goes off at the hour.I guess it could be a bad thing if you hideing.

Other things probally to.Like a player would know when the time would swicth but thats kind of cool to have the ring flash some how or the pc .

               I might like to dip my toe in the CCC... (It's a very pretty toe)'>

I've never made anything (for NwN) before, preferring, by far, to take what I want.'>

But I might try making a whirlpool placeable.
Is there anyone interested enough to encourage me to commit?

               ...Are you trying to flirt on a public message board?

It's making me really uncomfortable, whatever it is.

               starting to feel a bit creeped out.

Is scripting allowed as an submission?
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Jenna WSI]

               Uh. Weird.

Okay, well if someone is making a swimming pheno I'd definately use that. Don't know how to make them myself (or want to).

               Vibrant Penumbra: Take a shot at it.  There are tons of possibilities, and nobody ever starts out really knowing how to do anything, so this challenge is a good way to start and get advice/help.

SHOVA: Scripting is custom content. '>  My submissions for a previous month (I think the theme was religious items) was strictly scripting for some special item properties.
