Tilesets for NWN 1

[Legacy_LastBard]

               

Here's an idea for kind of a workaround. Make an area where the player walks under the bridge, then another area with stairs going up, and then another area that look identical to the first area, but now you're walking on the bridge.

 

I think it's works!

Are you going for a large massive looking arch way like in the painting?

 

It is my intent to have some giant sized areas in the dwarven halls, because I keep to the old history where the dwarves were slaves to the giants. I also want large areas in the drow cities because they do tend to summon some rather large 15 foot tall monstrosities to do their work for them. Cramped areas just are not cut out for those kind of critters, or the battles you may end up having with them. Not sure if I should have done it, but I made all the creature models I worked on true to scale as they are written in the monster manuals. That put some of the common drow-summoned creatures easily in the 12-18 foot tall range. The tilesets I am currently doing are half height scale. Not sure if anybody noticed that from my pictures, but I took 20 meter tall spires areas and scaled them down, and I took 3:10 slopes and made them 3:20. It is less dramatic, but far more playable. It still leaves room for camera movement, as well as visibility to those off-tile things I want to show at the edges, which can be much more dramatic. It might not look as cool inside, like dungeons and caves, so we'll see.

Zwerkules

Very very nice work Zwerkules as always you never seem to fall short, you have done so much for NWN1 and yet keep it coming. Not only do you keep pumping very high quality content, but you seem to keep taking it to the next step as well. The work you do is just amazing. Thanks again for all your are doing please keep it up.

See, this is exactly what people who say it can't be done should be paying attention to. They are too busy stating NWN cannot and will not come close to modern videogame graphics to actually notice, let alone make, something like this. Just take anything Six has done. His tilesets are top quality, ingenious, and always challenging Neverwinter Nights' aesthetic limits. Then, notice the many authors who have reworked his ideas and resources to reach beyond. We have a plethora of content converted from The Witcher and NWN2, and lots of custom projects clearly inspired by them and Icewind Dale, Baldur's Gate, Dragon Age, The Elder Scrolls, etc.

 

Astonishing work, Zwerkules. Now, give us a crypts tileset reskin that looks like that and I will name my first born after you.

Agreed. What most people miss is that every game has it's share of shortcuts and "tricks" that the developers used to give the impression of something instead of actually building it. Skyrim, for example, has static 3-d images of waterfalls that are used when you can see one at a great distance. Even the mods that make them more visually appealing only improve the texture on that object. I read extensively about people who attempted to force the game to load more things at a greater distance, and the game actually breaks in amazing ways when you do that too far out. It was educational.

Because NWN is 2.5 D, you can't have a bridge that you can walk on and walk under.

You can't in NWN2 either, that tileset fakes it by having the under sections unwalkable/unreachable, it's as MerricksDad said with the concept of "you can view, but cannot reach" to show a more 3d area even if you can't get there.

Hey, Zwerk. Release the beast.

Thank you!

I'm glad I can release it separately from my module because I'm not sure if I will ever complete that and if I complete it there'll still be (NWN) people around to play it.

So now at least other people can use the tileset.

I swear Zwerkules, if you made a flat tileset with a single flower on it I have no doubt it would be the best dang flower on the vault!

 

Thanks!
