QFG1 NWN Module (http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Modules.Detail&id=1749)

While searching for modules to play, I stumbled across one of particular interest to us all. Behold! A neverwinter nights module on QFG1!

 

A few years ago, someone had announced his newly created nwn module based on qfg1 in the old forums. That topic has since disappeared along with the archives, so thanks for posting the link, Corsair. :)

My pleasure.  

Yeah, I found that once before.  They were trying to make a QfG1 mod for Morrowind but there's no telling where that's at now.

That's gone now. I really would have liked to see the Morrowind mod. It was easier to make because Morrowind has a similar level system as QFG.

Easier and harder at the same time, Morrowind was a lot more complicated.

I've had a few chats with Morrowind modders back when I was trying to learn (that fell through).  They said the game was moddable as long as you didn't try anything that changed its dynamics, so whatever the Morrowind mod did would have to be almost entirely superficial.

For instance, you CAN have locational sound, you CAN make a new FMV, and you CAN change a corpse into a movable body (a la the Thief games), but it's a TON of work and STILL very limited.

*taps Reish on the shoulder*

You started becoming inaccurate after
That part is true( just trying to make a modern gun in  the game, makes that quite clear ).

With ease.

If you can make it in the correct format, I don't see why you'd have trouble doing it( though I've never tried this one ).

Making the 3D graphics work together would be a tad tricky( odds are the body would end up partly inside the player character, unless you really knew what you were doing... which is the tricky part ), but quite doable.


Limited I'll agree with( but considering the ease of use... it seems like a fair trade to me ), but not so much the "ton of work"( minus doing something insane, like the Morrowind multiplayer mod, almost everything is easy to do... by comparison to most games with mod tools ).

and unless you have the actual source( which very few companies release with the game ), you are going to have a considerable limit to what you can do.

Now that I've said my peace( which may have it's own inaccuracies, but I'll let someone that's tried the FMV thing decide that )...
*returns to the shadows*

Actually, you COULD add a gun to the game. Provided you know some scripting and modeling, you could make the animation and you could make a crossbow that looks like gun.

Also, the dead body part would be hard because you'd have to change the physical engine to allow ragdolls.

Well, I never did claim any expertise in Morrowind modding; I could never get into the toolset too far, having been exposed for too long to modding the Q3 engine.  I made one mod that fixed the glitch where identical sounds would play on top of each other making them become up to 4x as loud, and added some range to the sounds whenever they played so that they were less monotonous.  But that was miniscuel and took about 20 minutes grand total lol.

Most of my info comes from talking to a real pro about modding, and that was long ago so my info may be wrong.  He made a mod that added a room where you could knock out a guard with a blackjack and carry his body around as an inventory item, but he said you have to have the appropriate script added to every single room, NPC, and the weapon (which in my mind says you can't do it out on the world map, only indoors).

It also played a song when you entered the room that overwrote the current song being played by Morrowind (albeit very loudly), so when I said locational sound that's what I meant and used the wrong term.

Anyway, enough of that ^^;

(Second post)

There was a mod that added a KAR98k if I recall, and I tried working out what would have to be done to make that work properly and it wouldn't be too terribly difficult if you had the patience (and the models/animations).

Why would you need ragdoll?  Just put the body in your inventory.  When they become unconcious they use the same animation as they ever do when they get knocked out or killed.

Ragdolls for *actual corpse carrying* so that the limbs don't end up in your character's shoulders.

And also, whoever didn't enjoy throwing bodies down stairs and such in Thief, just raise your hands and I won't believe you.

Reish, please don't double-post. Use the edit button. Thanks.

I enjoyed hurling unconscious bodies into rivers in Thief 3: Deadly Shadows and hearing them scream and die.

You can stop trying to prove that you're demented. You use ICQ, and thats all the proof I need! ;P  

No, I don't.

So whats with the ICQ button under your posts?

Couldn't be worse than AIM...

That was a long time ago, when I was trying to get a hold of someone. Swift, I think.

Awww... not really needed since I don't use AIM or ICQ very often these days.

Besides, Jafar, Swift uses ICQ as well. So isn't she crazy?

Only because some Hero6 members use ICQ rather than MSN.

You still haven't noticed!? :lol:  

I though everyone here was crazy

Why do you think I call this place the Asylum?

Please! This place is nowhere compared to KQ 9's asylum. :rolleyes:  

We're like Spellhold in Baldur's Gate 2.
 

never made it that far

You obviously didn't play it that much.

THEY ARE DEVIANTS! LET THEM ROT IN SPELLHOLD.

Bah, true madmen hang out in Skwid's Lair. </advertisment>
