Weapon Customization Request: Invisible/Blank Dagger
« on: April 08, 2006, 08:15:54 AM »
I was flipping through the customization loom today for armors and noticed that quite a few of the torso, arm and leg designs were blank as to allow short sleeves, shirtlessness and the like.  Others were entirely invisible and made it look like there was a floating head bouncing around the crafthall.  

I was wondering, would it be possible to include blank gfx options for weapons as they are already done with armor types?  I ask because my one-handed, hooked horror Rakish currently has a hook in place of his left hand, and I would like to be able to physically do battle using my hook as an offhand weapon. (d4 x2)  This would also be particularly useful for wemic characters who wish to do battle with their "claws", as unarmed attacks for them neither allow offhand swipes or d6 dmg akin to what a wemic should be doing, and their racial descriptions stressed their cultural love of cat-clawed battle.

If this is at all possible, I would like to request a minor update to the customization loom in which one blank gfx option each could be assigned for top, middle and bottom customizations of the small weapon templates.

    I second the suggestion, though the templates should be on the weapon crafting forge.

    does sound good as the wemic hand to hand fighting looks slighty unrealistic currantly

    I have a major warning about this.

    There was a time, and it still might be the case, that certain rapiers were missing graphics for some of the color options.  What resulted was a weapon that was invisible in the hand, and in the inventory.  After logging out/in, it caused a bug that only half the items in my inventory were visible at a time.  If I changed pages and back again the other half would be visible.  Eventually I needed a DM to delete everything on the character to purge the bugged weapon.

    Pretty much everything in NWN needs geometry of some sort or else it will cause a lot of bugginess.  Other missing geometry stuff will occasionally cause textures on other objects to render incorrectly, etc. . . Basically the game was made intending that anything held/worn would be seen and exist in 3D computer space.
