I actually added the code back when Darth333 asked about SSF files, but didn't think anyone had a use for it, so it sat idle. You nudged me to put a couple of hours into polishing it up for public consumption :) By the way, I really like your work;...  [Read More]

What I don't want: The same control scheme on the PC that is unlike most 1st/3rd person games. Why not allow my character to move laterally to go around obstacles instead of turning around and running in a tight circle? I really don't want to have t...  [Read More]

Darkkender is correct that this is not done by a script but is handled internally by the game engine when a creature carrying droppable items die. Creature(UTC) templates have a BodyBag field, which is a reference to the bodybag.2da file, determini...  [Read More]

That module editor looks sweet! The module editor was developed, in part, by actually trying to use it to create modules. Many of the other editors are so much simpler that there is only one way for them to work. This one has had many revisions to g...  [Read More]

I don't know how your module editor is laid out, but if it's anything similar to the Aurora Toolset it could be an idea to make it similar to how it's handled there, for familiarity for those who have been modding for Neverwinter Nights. In the NWN...  [Read More]
