  • That silly gogglecap.

    Heyas peeps,

    I Know it might be entirely opinionated, but I've been wondering for a while if it would be possible for that one pair of artificer's goggles to have the funny leather cap removed, or at least a variant thereof? It would be just as entertaining or moreso to have the shocks of hair behind them in typical Certifiably-Mad-Scientist fashion. After all, what tinker cares about head-protection?


    Cheers,
    Kit

      Leaving the leather cap off just shows lack of dedication. Where's all the engineering parts hiding then?

        Without a gyrocoptor or other suitably precarious method of flying the leather cap does make little sense...
        It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do a little - Do what you can.

          then I suggest we change this suggestion to a suggestion about designing a gyrocopter to craft!

            Can we have BOTH?
            And would using a ballistae or trebuche mounted on the city, combined with a continent feather-fall set to activate when approaching within 100 feet of an object while airborne at lethal velocity count as "suitably precarious"?

              I vote for gyrocopter. Failing that, remove the dome... its redundant I agree.

                That picture makes me want to buy the Mel Brooks collection on Blu-Ray, but I dunno if $100 on a whim is something my wife would stab me for doing. In my household, we solve all our financial and marital problems with knives or threats thereof.

                      James has been advocating the use of air-dropped golems since the Sundering.

                        If you really want it, start learning some development skills. Heres a link to blender, a free 3d editor that works with nwn2. http://www.blender.org/ I believe the most recent version isn't the best for this old game. One of our developers might be able to direct you better.

                          What file type does nwn2 take for meshes? Wondering if dusting of my Maya would be adiquate.

                            Nwn uses .mdb files, you can convert these to .OBJ (or the reverse) with freely available tools. Thats good enough for basic placables but characters need rigging.

                            I can't remember if there are any good Maya to mdb pluggins, for that alas you'll likely need blender or a 3ds of the correct version.

                              I'm now torn between air-dropped constructs, rebuilding the Mundus tower as a bond villanesque subteranian tower descending below the city topped (or bottomed) with an external heatray thing for remotely cooking your enemies, or having the Eboncoin dig out into Cheapside's part missing section and install a Greek monastery style bucket and winch system for smuggling things and folk into the city.

                              Or hippogriff riders.
