Custom Content Challenge: May 2013: Dragon Stuff
« on: May 01, 2013, 05:09:05 pm »


               This month's challenge is "Dragon Stuff":

All things dragon related. Alternate dragon (or dragon-related) creature models (there are a ton of different ones from different regions that are not well-represented in NWN), dragon-themed clothing/armor, dragon-themed weapons, dragon-themed miscellaneous items, dragon-related placeables, dragon-affecting spells, short prefabbed cutscenes involving dragons, dragon-themed visual effects, dragon sounds (also good for dinosaurs), prefabbed dragon NPCs (with interesting descriptions, conversations, etc.), prefabbed dragon-related items (with nice descriptions and history to go with any properties).


This theme was suggested by The Amethyst Dragon.

Guidelines:
  • It must be fully working in game.
  • Use of vanilla NWN or publicly available texture is fine, though state-of-the-art amateur's work would require 100% original work, but that's up to you.
  • Teamwork is welcome.
  • Beginners most welcome, don't be afraid, just try, you'll be surprised!
  • All submissions must be finished, working, and emailed to NWNCCCMakers@gmail.com (or a non-Vault link provided) by June 1st, 2013 at 10 AM EST. Sooner than that is perfectly fine too. ;-)

Somethings you could include in the download/email that would make packaging everything up easier and faster:
  • 2da lines needed.
  • Screenshot *from in game* for use on the vault page (this also gives me hints on how to display the new goodie).
  • Portraits (if needed) of your new goodie. ** Placeables and monsters should include a portrait. **
  • Inventory icons (if needed) of your new goodie.
  • Any credits you would like listed.
  • If this is your first entry, please tell me what name you would like your work listed under and provide a link to your other NWN content if you want that displayed as well (the link bit is totally optional).
  • Also if you would like an invite to the CC Makers group, send Rolo Kipp a friend invite. The group is nothing spectacular, mostly just documentation on 2da lines.
  • If you are doing tileset content, *please* let me know ahead of time so I can get you the set and itp files to work with. I’m horrible at merging those so this bit you will need to provide.
Remember, the Challenge is all about fun, sharing, creativity and surprise!

If you have concerns/questions about this month’s Challenge please post in this thread.

If you want to discuss the Monthly Custom Content Challenge idea as a whole or wish to submit ideas/themes for future monthly Challenges, please post in its thread here.
***When submitting a new theme, please provide a title and short summary of the theme.***

If you have a technical question about some custom content creation, please create a separate thread so that the answers can be found later by anyone, not just people interested in this Challenge. We'll try to help!

Have no fear and join the fun!

And finally, you can:

Submit theme suggestions.
Vote for June's theme.

               <stockpiling gems...>

A very large (10K poly), skin-mesh oriental dragon is exactly what the dwarf's going to attempt. Point, though. These will be Eastern dragons interpreted for Amethyst. That is, except for the Silvers who are vain enough, none of the metallics have wings. They cloudwalk. They do not fly.

If you examine the original concept drawings for the metallics from WotC, you'll notice huge wing-like spine membranes, but not true wings. Well, even that offends Amethyst.

Of course, we will bend no one's arm into using our wingless wonders :-)

Note: In 1999 I declared that no player in Amethyst would ever face a dragon run by a computer. Dragon's in Amethyst are the most perfect bioweapons produced by the Ancients and they are *intelligent*. Only DM's and 1st Circle players in Amethyst will be able to play dragons. But first, I've got to pimp their ride ;-)

I'd be leaning away from something like that.  The smell has got to be horrific.

Axe works wonders for that...

               Axe is rebranded as Lynx in the UK. Anyway here is a picture of the type of dragon I was talking about earlier.

It's actually the texture for a rug I never got around to making.

               Dragon Poo. It's just like regular poo except for the scraps of armor and the occasional gold coin.

               Hmmm...

If anyone has no idea what to do, I've got an unskinned Linnorm modified from the Mist Dragon lying around somewhere that I wouldn't mind someone who can texture taking a stab at

Me though? I have plans. Zmeyish plans. Hopefully I will actually get a chance to make something this time

               Zombie dragon it is for me. Its going to be a decaying green dragon as I feel this will give the best contrast for the exposed bone and gore.

I've heard of dumpster diving, but that takes it to a whole new level of dedication.
