Title: Preorder Toolset Delayed
Post by: 420 on September 18, 2006, 11:31:51 AM: The NWN2 prerelease toolset has been delayed until Friday the 22nd. However the countdown says 3 days so who knows what the fuck Atari is up to.

Technically they are still going to release the toolset a month before NWN2's release, since that has been pushed to Oct. 31st.

I suspected as much when they changed NWN2's release date.

Title: Preorder Toolset Delayed
Post by: 420 on October 01, 2006, 01:58:09 PM: There is a big freak-out on the Bioware and Atari forums right now. I expected as much since Atari has become almost totally useless as a company.

I'm sure the one employee that Atari still has will wander into work sometime Monday afternoon and see all the rabid posts on the Atari forum then attempt to fix the downloads.

Typical Atari bullshit.

I used this link and i typed in my code
it works :)

Click Here (http://www.atari.com/nwn2/presell/preorder/US/preorder.php)

if your code has o's in it, try using zeros instead, or vice versa
my code had some, what i thought was, zeros, turns out i put o's in instead and it correctly authorized my code :)

enjoy and have fuN!

My code works now but I already got the toolset without it so a big "up yours" to Atari.

Dude! Really?

Time to see what Smith Hold looks like in NWN2 I guess!

Alright everyone, here are some examples of playing with scale:

Now this is a succubus!

(Scale = 5x, Default hair/skin color, custom clothing color)

Now, these next two show a closeup of a normal sized human NPC next to a towering turquoise skeleton (Scale = 10X):

Post by: Elessar Telrunya on October 02, 2006, 04:23:49 PM: Cool, I'm having fun with this even though I'm stuck rotating my camera around a single point and I've played with scaling a good bit as well as changing location via the properties tabs. I haven't really tinted much though.

Here are three pictures of the opening area of Elessar's House of Stuff mod which I'll put up for a few days after release just for fun. Each picture is different because I'm still deciding which particular building I'm going to use.

All the buildings have been scaled in most of the walls have also been scaled. You can't tell from the camera angle but the ground has been recolorered in front of hte building to show a path way. The entire ground is overall a different color, and I've played with some of the height-mapping as well.

[attachmentid=940]

[attachmentid=939]

[attachmentid=938]

Any preferences between them? Personally I kinda like the first one best.
Oh and by the way, you can still see the model name highlighted in the list on the side.

Try holding down Ctrl and using the right mouse button to move your camera.

I was using GetRight, it took me 14 hours, not a whole day in the end. Whee!

Anyway, i've installed etc but I seem to be missing all the damn creature models...

I'm gonna re-install it after school today to see if I can fix it.

The toolset seems alot more complex than the NWN one; what with all the fancy tinting, sizeing and bumb mapping crap. I don't envy the man who has to write the GS tutorial on how to make equipment for newbs.

Like everything its probably simple once you know what your doing.

It also depends on how fast the Atari servers can dish it out too..

You missed the whole point of using GetRight then. You were supposed to segment each download four times and do them all at once.
