January 2012 Custom Content Challenge: Rogues stuff
« Reply #30 on: January 10, 2012, 02:34:23 am »


               

Well, in addition to a spike wall placeable model I seem to have coded a reasonable solution for timed spike traps (ie, ones that fire off
automatically in sequence, and the player has to time running between
them to avoid damage).


Just a small note, from experience on this point (at least using a fire effect and the base NWN 'spike' trap), low-end computers get a -huge- lag spike when they fire if you're using multiple timed together; like, for instance, a line of spike traps. It probably won't matter, but I remember being told off about this on an old dungeon. '<img'>

If I get enough time without being jammed in hospital and have the drive to, I'll make a few different placeable traps with animations, with the following being what I'd like to do:
-Bear Trap
-Single Spike Floor Trap
-Multiple Spike Floor Trap
-Steam Wall Trap
-Steam Floor Trap
-Fire Wall Trap
-Fire Floor Trap
-"it_trap" Model Replacement

               Rubies, by "it_trap" model replacement do you mean a better floor model?

That would be awesome!

I'll probably use this as the replacement floor model (the left one being the older one, naturally). There's an animated version that I'll turn into a trap VFX too.

               Nice! Shouldn't the floor model by in a non-active state though?

How's that? Ignore the black plane, I forgot to hide it. It's just to make selecting it with a mouse easier in-game. '<img'>

               Rubies... wow, I had thoguht about throwing a few ideas out for those that need inspiration and that was one of them.  While playing Dragon Age:Origins and Witcher 2, I came across a good # of those. I can think of a few Ranger/Rogue types that'd love to set that trap up!

Other random suggestions for those needing some inspiration for the month..
  • an IT_ model for the thieves tools   http://www.medievalc...eves-tools.aspx
  • the entries for poisons.2da have a column for "vfx_impact".. maybe something to replace the visual/audio of poison being applied.. or a few variants for the different types?
  • Unique vfx for the various default trap types? The spike trap has a vfx, but the others could use some uniqueness.
  • Alternate effects for some of the throwable grenade-like weapons.. choking powder, holy water, etc....
The shell game that Amethyst Dragon has mentioned brings up the point that rogues aren't all knife-in-the back types, there's plenty of variety for scoundrels, vagabonds, and ne'er-do-wells.
  • Gambling. Shell games, card and dice placeables (card images from Three-dragon-ante?), holdable hands of cards?
  • Rogues steal. a few new shiny goodies for the rogues to steal? How about the old statue from the AD&D DM manual, complete with stealable gem eyes? http://www.otherworld.me.uk/images/gallery/idolpaint1.gif
  • They come in all shapes and sizes... a few new heads for our shadowy friends? Rogue/Bard scoundrel A beautiful human woman with a carnival type mask? (perfect for hiding the identity... also works for the ladies of the Moonstone Mask in neverwinter!) a few shadowed/hooded appearances for our Strider types in the tavern corner
Just spouting a few random ideas that came to mind! ':?'

               <feeling a bit...>

@ _six: Wow! Great Gauntlet material =)

@ Rubies: Badly needed overhaul, and a fine touch on the details :-)

@ Henesua: I just call them "drop models". I think it makes things clearer :-P

I don't think I should be enjoying *anti-*theft measures so much, though ;-P

Those are some good ideas, usagreco. Here's one building on your statue idea... I want a little golden statue that summons a dancing girl doing a dual-weapon rave! <you would *raven scowl*> Now, where did I see that before... <you were drunk and don't remember. *i* do. ten snails, old man. *rainbow* snails>
Damn.

<...like a traitor>

               I think I've just noticed a major project... My sliding shelves have lead me to notice the uniform thickness of the walls of the castle interior. You could fit a hidden passage in all of them in fact. I feel a Castle Interior with hidden passages build coming on...

THAT is awesome. I love seeing "real time" style action game stuff in NWN. Now let's see you try to get some henchmen through that gauntlet! *evil laugh*

How about a nice pendulum blade that works the same way?

               An idea I think a lot of PW's could use... a utility belt clothing item with lockpicking materials, rope, little bags, and mysterious vials?

Both of those animated items are awesome though '<img'>
