Custom Content Challenge - March 2024 : Holy War

Holy War

Anything related to religious zealots and holy warriors, including militant clerics, paladins, monks of holy orders, flagellants, archangels, sacred relics, battlefield shrines, holy ruins, fallen holy warriors, religious tomes, reliquaries, banners of holy orders, symbolic shields and weapons, shiny religious plate mail, religious tabards, instruments of inquisition, stake for burning a witch, dunking chair, sacred creatures, improved cleric battle spell f/x, holy site f/x. How about religious zealots for other player races? A port of the NWN2 Divine Champion PrC?

This theme was suggested by rjshae.

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 nwvaultccchallenge@gmail.com (or a non-Vault link provided) by the first of the following month. Sooner than that is perfectly fine too. :wink:

Some things you could include in the download/email that would make packaging everything up easier and faster:

  • Any 2da lines needed.
  • Screenshot from in game for use on the Vault page. Formats: .bmp, .jpg, .png, or .tga
  • Portraits (if needed) of your new goody. Placeables and monsters should include a portrait.
  • Inventory icons (if needed) of your new goody.
  • 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).
  • 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, screen-shots 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 - Custom Content Challenge - Theme Suggestions.

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!

Let’s start with something simple, a cross. Most probably there are already several crosses somewhere, but this one is made by me from scratch :smiley: .

Actually it should be mounted on a cart, so that it could be taken along with the army.

An easy inclusion: My shields for the Church of Ezra in TOUD (Ravenloft)

I mounted the cross on a simple cart, so that it can travel with the army. Leaves to find an animal with some harness which can be placed nearby. The towing bar can be raised to the shoulderhigh (roughly) of an oxen.

Shields are an excellent idea, because this is something I can do.

So I quickly made the two on the left:

I messed around with the backside a bit, the texture on the handle isn’t distorted anymore.

Since I’m completely clueless what can be done next (I can only do simple items or placeables), if there is a motiv you want to see on a shield or placard, you may ask me. I’ll have a look if I can get it right.

The submission email seems to be bouncing, but I can put them somewheres maybe if someone prefers?

I wonder, TR is unusual quiet atm.

I do hope they’re ok!

Seems April CCC winner theme is Dwarves! and there is no dedicated forum entry yet. Hoping TR is all right.

It’s been 10 days, would anyone consider it untoward if I put my and MMat’s work together for this past month and posted it?

Seems to be a good idea.

Since there are still no news from TR, I decided to publish the stuff here (fwiiw).

The cross:
Cross.7z (647.1 KB)

The cart:
Wagen.7z (1.5 MB)

I’ll gather up my stuff and publish it formally this evening or tomorrow.
Worrying we haven’t heard from TR, hope they’re O.K.

I lied it’ll be today when I get home. I realized I misplaced something for this, but I’ll just post what we have so far, we can always add to it.

I had also a statue of Ezra but IDK where the heck I put it.

@mmat - Would you also like those shields included?

Ah, I forgot …
Shields.zip (672.5 KB)

I’ll put those in this evening!

Thanks for taking the initiative!

Tout Shields will not work out of the box, it needs an amendment of baseitems.2da (raising max range).

Hmm I made no specific changes to any of that however they are being used with CEP on my part so likely CEP already includes that. I can ammend the readme though, that’s no trouble.

Sorry for disappearing suddenly like that. What happened was simply that I was very ill (I am still to some extent). On the 10th of March I was taken to hospital where I was for 4 weeks and 6 days. I was suffering from Encephalitis (basically my brain swelled inside my skull (hint follow the link)). The result is that I have forgotten a hell of a lot (and I mean an enormous amount of stuff) so, FWIW at this late stage, I am forced to stand aside from looking after the ccc.

I will occasionally look in on this site to see what you guys are upto but for now I wish you all the best. Catch you later (I hope).
