Hi everyone.

For those who don't know me well, I am the developer in charge of hak management for the next hak update, as well as creation of all-new game assets. Here are a few examples of my previous work:



So, let's get right down the the brass tacks of this post.

I am looking for a volunteer who is both willing and able to help in content acquisition for the next hak update. The tasks involved are reasonably technical, so please do not apply if you do not meet all the requirements. In order to qualify, you must meet these qualifications:

1. 3d rendering software such as 3ds Max, Blender, Milkshape, etc. 3ds Max is preferred. You do not have to be highly skilled in the software, just competent.
2. A program that can edit .plt files, such as Gimp or Photoshop (both require a .plt plugin).
3. Good research skills; you will be learning how various games manage modded content so you can extract files.

These qualifications are also important, but not critical:

1. Your computer runs Windows 7 OR you have 3ds Max 2015 on Windows 8.
2. The ability to work independently and within guidelines.
3. Skype

You will be helping me by finding unlicensed content, either in game mods or freely-available games, and then extracting that content and converting it into a usable format which I can then use to develop new assets for NWN. You will have a fairly large degree of freedom in asset selection.

Note: THIS IS NOT A STAFF POSITION. YOU WILL BE A VOLUNTEER, NOT A DEVELOPER.

If you are interested, please PM me an application in the following format:



Selected applicant(s) will have a large degree of influence on the look and feel of the next hak update and ultimately the look of the server (all models and textures are subject to staff approval). If you want to help modernize the look of the game, add awesome new content and features, and see your work in the server, this is your opportunity.

I will be accepting applications through next Sunday (October 24).

I expect quality to be screened highly, and I expect any and all bugs to be ironed out: Things getting in the hak like the purple fluffy dragon, the bloodrayne model, and things like overwriting the vanilla NWN vampire model with some terrifying facsimile, as well as overwriting our werebat model with a strictly inferior version, are all examples of things that had best not occur. (These last two should actually also be fixed, in this update. Add that to your list, Eurgiga.)

Content should not be added for the sake of being added: We have plenty of stuff we don't utilize as it is, adding useless weight and bloat to the module. Try and have an eye for quality and the breadth of use the content will have for the server: We don't need anyone adding a tree that will see use in exactly one area, for example.



The DM team gets final say on what makes it into the hak. Eurgiga says it in his post, but I want to stress this. You will be working with us heavily.

If you need an artist for some re textures I can easily do so and will happily help you out.

Tit slits and nipple-button-studs are the best part of those tops though.

Yep yep just need to make sure that res isn't too high! And why I enjoy some breast I do like good options without. Not everyone wants the jiggle.

Yup just edits of the original plts for the vanilla models can add them in as optional. If there are any other clothing models that others feel could use some better options feel free to send me a screen of the model in-question and your idea and I'll do my best to facilitate your idea.

God, yes. <.< Plus the fact that nipples migrate depending on what top you're wearing is a bit insane.

"Oh, you want to wear this? WELP, YOU TITS GO THIS DIRECTION TODAY" >.>

So many bewbs, none of them look like real ones..

Please yes on these. Soooo tired of the ic and ooc commentary on bouncing/jiggle stuff.

I gave my half-dragon the male model for exactly the above-referenced reason. So bring it on! Woo!

(Maybe Kyra can look female one day!)

_________________

As a midriff and titslit conniseur I mourn the loss, but here's hoping this isn't a blanket replacer that removes options instead of adding new ones. I'm a big fan of variety.

The most recent robe models that give a more combat ready demure, flat chested look still aren't proportioned right though. I can appreciate the sentiment but it makes your head look giant due to the overall uncanny slim physique.

PS, would it be possible to get a plain shirt variation? You know the ragged cut-off one, but one that covers from waist to neck?



I remember someone had a non-urchin version of it in one of their packs, and it was really nice to have just an uber-simple but also not-trashy option - and also another shirt option that can meet flush with neck options.

Oh yes please, beggar's clothing that's not skimpy!

Is it possible to make hats as wing wiget like those shield that you can equip and unequip? Someone told me that there would be a solution for that but I can't remember what exactly!

Very possible but not something I can do at this time.

This also has a female version:
Re-textured from garbage to look amazing~

On a different note - are you looking for anyone to create custom spells/feats? Pm me if you dont want me hijacking this thread.

Yessss, we are certainly looking for scripters in general if that's what you mean

Thats the way it crumbles ... cookie-wise!

So, almost a week later.

I'm pretty disappointed.

Between people hijacking this thread to post their own stuff, people PMing me things they want to see, and generally everything BUT following the instructions in my first post, I can't say I'm excited about where this has gone.

As of now there are a grand total of zero PMs volunteering to help sift through content, but plenty of them asking for content. I'm somewhat reminded of the story of the Little Red Hen. I will be working on what the DMs tell me we need and what I think would be useful and widely applicable. Past that, I was hoping to have someone step up to help do model extraction, a reasonably simple process. As of this posting, that hasn't happened.

If you want to see content added, figure out how to get it to me in a usable form. Beyond that, most requests aside from the truly useful ones will not get a response. I will ask everyone to kindly not spam my inbox, as I am not going to sift through a hundred content suggestions.

There is one day left to volunteer. After that, this opportunity closes.

Note: I thank all of you who have shown interest and enthusiasm. I am not trying to dissuade you from being interested in the server's future, but I really do wish this thread had remained confined to the topic.

I would love to be able to help you Eurgiga, probably like a lot of individuals, but I lack the technical familiarity with all of the software you originally posted. I choose not to waste your time by attempting to claim I am capable of doing something I am not.

No offense Eurgiga but you cannot blame people for being overly excited about the possibilities nor be disappointed you don't have more help volunteering. There is a reason we have lacked someone skilled enough to pick it up again till now. None of this software is something most people just casually play with or use on their free time.

Nevertheless, I am willing to help you if you are willing to spend the time to answer my stupid questions regarding the software. Even if you wrote up a how to guide on the simple extraction process and details of what requirements we were looking for. I would not mind doing grunt work.

Eurgigia can be as disappointed as they want to be. Asked for help, got tons of PMs and posts, Oh boy, help! Oh.. not a single post/PM is what they asked for.. Hm.

Yeah, id say thats perfect grounds for disappointment.

I'm sorry you can't get more help, Eurgiga, do you best with it, don't spend too much time. Heck i dunno what else we even need added!

House Auvrea'Kan Crafts and Services is now open and prepared to discuss orders.

For the future, and as a general reminder, it's really easy to ask for a split of posts into a separate topic to keep your own thread on the topic you intended it for. And to direct the PM senders to that thread, or a new thread, instead. That way, hopefully no one's enthusiasm is being crushed - and rather, encouraged - while remaining on focus.
