May 2012 Custom Content Challenge: New Weapons

[Legacy_TheGmork]

               Hey all,
I really want to enter some of my weapons (namely a Greatmace and a Pike) but I need a little help. What are the files I need to edit to get these weapons recognized for things like: Weapon Focus, Magic Weapon, Darkfire ect? Any help would be welcome.

As far as I know you'll need to edit the scripts to get them detected, and Weapon Focus won't work at all.

               Hmmm... I'll have to check my maul and whether the weapon focus feats I created work.

Thanks, that helps for the spells.

               <a bit distracted...>

If your Greatmace and Pike use the standard diremace and halberd baseitem (and the files are named to fit them), then Focus, etc. will work just fine.

If you are creating new baseitems and want all those things, you have to edit a lot more things... which I don't have the time to research today (going off-line in minutes :-P ). But there's some great people on this forum. It'll be of benefit to future  CC Makers as well if you start a new topic asking specifically for "How To..." (easier to find when searching).

Gotta go! More later...

               Found a halfway-deacent PDF tutorial for beginners on making a new 3-part sword (or any similar weapon) from scratch, posted it on the vault in hopes it can help ppl learn modeling '>

Tutorial: Making a Sword (using GMax, NwMax, Chiliskinner & G.I.M.P.)

(Before posting I tried it, and had a lot of fun doing it. It's definatly a great ice-breaker/confidence builder for ppl who have never done mdling before but have always wanted to learn, (or who have tried before but found the process too confusing or overwhemlming), making a working weapon is a lot easier than you would think. If you want to learn modeling, and you have an hour to kill, I definatly recommend trying it '>)

               For my first attempt at nwn mdling i decided to go with a githyanki silver sword...





The concept art for some examples seemed would be nighmarishly high polycounts, so i chose to go the oldschool route, and keep it simple, with a stylized greatsword...





After about an hour i got something workable, (still needs polish)...

Has a nice blooding point, serrated edged for cutting astral cords, red dragon horn shaped blade-breakers, and a handy spiked pommel for close combat.

Nicely done! I don't think there is anything else in the game that looks quite like that. These will be part of the next revision of my HAKs or Arnheim.
