The theme for this month's challenge: "Baldur's Gate and Offspring":

  

Baldur's Gate and Offspring: Content from the beloved games of the past, be it the Baldur's Gate Series, the Icewind Dale Series or Planescape: Torment. Help recreate some of the nostalgic flair of the incredible artwork of the best RPG games that captured our imagination for hours on end.

 

This theme was suggested by Snugglehoof.

 

Guidelines:


  • It must be fully working in game.

  • Use of vanilla NWN or publicly available texture is fine.  Just remember that NWN textures must have dimensions in powers of 2 (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc.).

  • Teamwork is welcome.

  • Beginners most welcome. Don't be afraid, just try, you'll be surprised!

  • "Custom Content" includes many sorts of things: models, scripts, prefabs (areas, items, creatures, conversations, quests, etc.), sounds, portraits, or anything else new for the game.

  • All submissions must be finished, working, and emailed to NWNCCCMakers@gmail.com (or a non-Vault link provided) by May 1st, 2016. 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). Formats: .bmp, .jpg, .png, or .tga

  • 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.

  •  

    Remember, the Challenge is all about fun, sharing, creativity, and surprise!

     

    This thread is for all sorts of discussion about this month's theme: ideas for things to make, questions/concerns, announcement of what you intend to make, screenshots of work in progress and/or finished projects.  

     

    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 May's theme.

    Email content to: NWNCCCMakers@gmail.com

    Even though it is getting long in the tooth now, Infinity Explorer is still a decently useful way to view the area images (and so forth) from the installed BG series. I've used it quite a bit.

    Tiax's head based on his Baldur's Gate portrait. Tiax is a megalomaniac gnome, rogue/cleric of Cyric, who thinks that Cyric himself has chosen him to rule the world; Tiax can join your party in Baldur's Gate and also apears in Baldur's Gate II....

    I have a complete Icewind Dale/IWD II + Expansions portrait pack that I extracted and tweaked that I can submit. I just need to double-check it, as it's been a couple of years.

    Tiax now has a matching voiceset. You all shall serve him by testing it and reporting any bugs! You'll select BG:Tiax as your voiceset, for 'tis destined to be so.


     


     


    EDIT:


    Minsc is available too now: Butt kicking for goodness! There is also a Safana voiceset, but that one is incomplete as of now and it'll probably stay that way, because it lacks source material.


     


    Now I'm working on Imoen and Viconia. I'll only do 1 or 2 additional ones, so I'll let you decide which ones get priority: http://strawpoll.me/7336891.


     


    I'd prefer some male ones as there is only Minsc and Tiax as of now and they are kinda unusable unless your name your character accordingly. There are videos on youtube with their voice sets, just search for "Baldurs gate 2 + NPC name". Oh and it's BG2 only, because BG1 doesn't offer enough material.

    More new heads (especially gnome and halfling heads) would be most welcome!


     


    Also hamsters, in the name of all that's Boo!  A hamster creature, a hamster wearable VFX (on the shoulder or on the head), a 'holdable hamster', a hamster inventory item and, last but not least, a hamster voice set. (And if you want to go really crazy, a wriggling hamster at the end of a holdable fishing rod). O_o

    BG_Quayle_Head.jpg


     


    So, you want more gnome heads; What about Quayle?. Quayle is a gnome cleric/illusionist, who believes that he is a genius and that all those around him are idiots. Quayle can join your party in Baldur's Gate and also apears in Baldur's Gate II....

    I thought maybe I could also make a version with this.
