Playable Monster Skin and Portrait Guide *also all voicesets* By: Kanik ____________________________________________________________________ Introduction: This guide is for players who wish to create their character to look like a monster or NPC found in the game "Neverwinter Nights". This includes skins and portraits for you character. I created this faq because I enjoy playing as a monster or NPC and numerous amounts of players continue to ask me how do I look like that and there being no guides anywhere in that matter on how to create the perfect monster or NPC playing experience I've decided to share the secret on how to look like it. ____________________________________________________________________ Dates and Revision: 1.1 added how to get new voicesets, listed all setappearances exactly as they are, fixed the link to zoligatos nwn viewer. *August 25, 2002* 1.0 written on August 6, 2002 ____________________________________________________________________ Requirements: 1. Obviously the game "NeverwinterNights" as well as minimum specs. 2. Zoligato's NWN viewer found here: http://nwvault.ign.com/Files/other/otherlist2.shtml ____________________________________________________________________ Step 1: Custom Portrait First you'll want to extract the portraits so other people can see them online. After downloading the viewer open up the program and go file>open bif> NeverwinterNights. It may be a slow process, not to worry it's loading up the file list. Now on the given list select the package, data/textures_02.bif. It'll give you a list on the bottom row now. These are all of the textures in the game. Scroll down until you reach files beginning with the words po_. These are now the portraits in the game. Now search for whichever portraits you want, there will be a preview on the right. When you find the ones you want right click all variations of it, ex: po_penguinH.tga, po_penguinL.tga, po_penguinM.tga, po_penguinS.tga, po_penguinT.tga. Those 5 files make up one portrait. Once you have found the files right click it and extract it into you Neverwinter Nights directory in the portraits folder, *do not rename them or else other players won't see them online! *, Congratulations you now have access to the new portrait. _____________________________________________________________________ Step 2: New Character Start up Neverwinter nights and start a new game and new character in any module. Set it up anyway you like as this will be your playable monster or NPC. To role-play better characters select a sub race for you character like penguin or golem. Once you reach the portrait selection scroll to the bottom and you'll find your new portraits to choose form. After finishing your character start up the game offline! _______________________________________________________________________ Step 3: Skinning the Monster Now comes the monster selection part. When offline in the game press the ` button to open up your console on the top right corner of the screen. Now here type in as case sensitive: DebugMode 1 Hit return or enter. If you did it right it will say success. Now comes the part to skinning. Type in case sensitive: SetAppearance ??? Where the question mark is you must fill it in with a three-digit number. Below are the numbers to go in the question mark spot pertaining to different monsters: 0 Dwarf 1 Elf 2 Gnome 3 Halfling 4 Half_Elf 5 Half_Orc 6 Human 7 **** 8 Badger 9 Badger_Dire 10 Bat 11
