Randomdays: It's a nice rock, but I would prefer a higher resolution texture '<img'>

Since these are imports using premade meshes and textures I don't know what I can do about upping the resolution.As it is now, its a 512x512 texture, 1 meg in file size and about equal in quality to standard NWN. Enlarging the mesh so much may make the texture a little stretched - I'm thinking of changing the size to about 75% of what it is in the screen shot.


 


Posting a pic of the texture below so you can see it does have some detail to it. For myself, the quality is okay and I really can't see taking the time to retexture over a hundred rocks

Agreed. That looks good enough for some rocks.

These rocks (and everything else I've seen so far) look great!  Do you happen to recall what the dimensions of the PWK are for that rock you posted here?  Would something where the overall PWK footprint was at or under around 200cm² look too small for what it is?  If so, how about 300cm²?    I had a problem with big rock placeables from TQ and eventually turned them into tiles.  Which was not without its own set of difficulties, unfortunately.

Thanks OTR,


 


Still relearning things, so guessing at what you're saying, the box part of the pwk is 465x550x380 for xyz dimensions. The actual pwk is a lot smaller inside the rock and only a little bigger than the base, a little over 100. It started out as slightly larger than the rock but as I adjusted the size of the rock mesh it grew while the pwk stayed the same.


 


Everything seems to be good ingame though.

A minor request to Randomdays: Would you like to make a set with rocks with this texture: http://www.erebaltor.se/other/rock.tga ? I use that texture alot and would greatly benefit from having the stones with that texture! '<img'>


 


A got it from Zwerkules tilesets so credit goes to Zwerkules!

Fog, texture downloaded. I'll apply it to a few rock shapes once the set is done.


 


Rockin on.... 2 more rocks, one has 7 retextures and the other 5. The second one is a bit smaller for a little variety.

Always good to have more differnt rocks and you don't need to animate them either (unless they actually turn into a rock troll when triggered). '<img'>

Let me correct that... "I'll apply it to ALL rock shapes once the set is done" '<img'>


I really hope you'll do that, I love your rocks! '<img'>

Fog, that will probably need its own hak then.


 


2 more rocks below, each with 5 reskins.


 


Rar'd up, this puts the hak at around 20 meg. I'm going to split the rocks here into two haks and say this one is done. The 1st hak will contain about 47 rocks, the mine, buildings and Skull rock from page 7 of this thread, plus an updated placeables.2da for all the items in the hak as well as some of the ones that will appear in the other half. Expect a lot of "model not found errors" as is. The 2da also has all the entries from the previous EE haks as well.


 


This will work fine as is, but it can be considered version 1. As static they work fine, but for useable they don't have any destruct nodes set up and I had a problem making the use nodes work as well for some reason.


 


If someone with some more skills wants to take the hak and update it with the destruct and/or working use nodes, let me know and I'll send it your way before release. I'll wait a couple of days to see if I get a response and work on part 2 in the meantime.
