Arelith Graphics Overrides (Testing)

Arelith.com

This workshop item is the second layer of the Arelith Graphics Overrides, and contains publish candidate materials that seem to be ready to use, but should be tested and possibly modified after receiving large amounts of use. They may also be in raw formats and may not perform as well until they are compiled.

Some of these materials may not "make the cut" after testing, and may end up being deleted from this layer without being promoted to "published", thus removing them from the game entirely. The use of this hak displays several lines of text at the top left corner of the "Legal Splash Screen" displayed just before the main NWN game client menu. This text indicates the version date in current use.

The standard w_metal_tex.tga has been overridden with a 2k .dds with new, but similar coloring, as well as normal and specular mapping. This changes the looks of most of the weapons in the game, particularly bronze/silver/gold/adamantine weapon colors, handles, all four wood colors, the insides and edges of tower shields, and a variety of other models around the game which use the common resource.

Barkskin, Stoneskin, Greater Stoneskin, Iceskin, and Shadowskin have all had their textures replaced with new diffuse textures. These textures are relative upgrades from the stock textures, but may be swapped in the future with shader driven character retexturing, with merged normal and spec maps.

This Steam Workshop item is part of the Arelith Collection, a set of optional downloads designed to accompany the game data for playing on the Arelith server. Since these files are stored in in the override folder, they can be overwritten by other workshop items with the same overrides, or hak contents with the same files. Additionally, these files may affect gameplay on non-Arelith servers, as well as offline gameplay. For dedicated installation, please visit the Neverwinter Vault to install the "Patch Hak" version of these overrides.
