Hill's Edge

[Legacy_YeoldeFog]

               

A resurrection indeed!

 

Hill's Edge is growing, and Henesua has offered to help me with the major scripts and to implement NWNX on a nwn-dedicated server I will host. I will soon present some of the features we are working on and have changed since I began with this project.

 

I am adding areas each and every second day and I have the fortune to use the latest content from Project Q, Zwerkules among others.

 

Some people have offered to help and more are welcome to contribute if you would like to build, create monsters or write stories for Hill's Edge.

Don't let this project fall by the wayside again. Was excited about it 3 years ago and happy to see it might see the light of day. So to repeat what I said 3 years ago on page 1..  

 

 Put it up, people will come. !  You'll never be done..... this is a never-ending hobby.

We are working hard at the moment! I have expanded the module with several areas, and we have cleaned up the module and implemented lots of features already, and we are already working on new features.

 

For Hill's Edge only, I have retextured the Dwarven Halls Tileset along with several placeables to build the Netheril Ruins. 

 

As it stands now, Hill's Edge will offer you total functional and working...

 

• Custom skills including movement skills with animations [Jumping, climbing, swimming]

• Custom familiar and a system for binding new familiars to the PC.

• Doors that can only be harmed by different weapons [Stone door can't be damaged by piercing weapons but with blunt weapons].

• A very light Hunger/Thirst system that won't annoy the player but act more as a small modifier when resting.

• Campfires that allows resting, bedrolls.

• Custom spells such as Waterbreathing, teleport and Comprehend Language

• Custom experience system including experience for exploration and skill-use

• Food, Drinks, Alcohol

 

And some of the work in progress...

 

• Prestige classes; Joydancer of Llira, Strifeleader of Cyric.

• Resources for mining and harvesting.

• Bleed/Death/Respawn

 

We have also included a new and very experienced NWN veteran that will help us!

 

Oh, and if you are a good builder and want to help, don't hesitate!

 

Some screenshots!

Wonderfull screenies, showing great promise for players to explore ( and talent of the builders) '>

I love the retextured tileset/area, very nice work.

 

I'm a fan of ruins and a really BIG fan of overgrown ruins

 

I would love to make a NWN world where tribal people are living among overgrown ruins from fallen empires of the past.

 

I just ran across this video today and I was like this is a lot like the kind of world I would love to make using NWN.

 

 

 

 I would be going for a post apocalyptic Forgotten Realms. So ruins tilesets would really be needed for some thing like this.

Whenever I see the works of good builders, I kind of want to club them over the head and run away with their modules so that I can learn how they do things by taking them apart instead of looking wistfully at screenshots... hehe.

Three new screenshots for you!

You can help me build on Hill's Edge if you want? I think the biggest challenge when building is to capture a feeling and to make it appear realistic. I think anyone can be a good builder, but it's important to know that it takes a LOT of time. Only the kitchen area above took me two or three hours effective time.

What is that in the last pic? Looks like a skellie taking a step off the edge..

Looks like a jump system! And being a sad little apprentice builder would be great experience, I think - I only worry that my schedule would leave me unable to be of good use...

It's a jump system, but I fear the gap is too large for poor Rebecka Stormcast! '>

Your kitchen is wonderful ! I wish I could use 2 or 3 hours building with such a result... Luckily, the mere building act is satisfying in itself whatever the result :-) Agree with your build philosophy. Capture a feeling and make it coherent / realistic is key.

I'd like to get involved.

I am just returning to NWN. I was on a couple of development teams years ago. I am moderately good with the toolset.

I have good programming skills as well & could probably figure out most of the NWN scripting features.

The project looks great!
