For years now, there has been a great tragedy taking place in fantasy worlds all over in the game of Neverwinter Nights. Spellcasting wizards and sorcerers, those masters of great power, had to carry all their own gear (or worse, rely on a whiny meat-shield or henchman to do it).
As of today, that unfair burden has been lifted from the shoulders of those spellcasters. Finally to NWN comes...tenser's floating disc!
Yes, that single purpose spell from decades of D&D has made it to NWN.
Included in this file is almost everything you need to add this spell to your own NWN module or PW:
- a hak file containing all model files, appearance.2da (from CEP 2.0), spell icon, and scroll icon
- an erf file containing all of the scripts (fdisc_*), creature blueprint (using the blue disc), and creature item blueprint
- a readme file with further information (for the spells.2da and tlk entries)
The hak file contains models/textures for 7 different colored discs (see the screen shot). The spell is set up to use the blue disc, but you can always change it if you want to (Aenea's version of the spell will enable casters to toggle a color, random colors, or alignment-based color). It's a really basic creature model, but exactly what the spell calls for (and it's my first original, non-reskinned creature model).
For those not using CEP 2.0, the hak also contains the model c_secundus, which I used for the animations (or mostly lack thereof) of the discs.
If you have an opinion or feedback on this, post it here (with a vote would be nice).
For those that want to see the ease of use in-game, you can follow this YouTube link.
Hi Amethyst first I want to thank you a lot for this mod since tenser's disk is one of my favourite spells because of its uniqueness, its thanks to spells like these that the D&D mages look like true mages instead of elemental "cannons" like the rest of rpgs and I was very disappointed when i found out that is not in the game.The problem is that I just installed the game and its the very first time I play it so I know almost nothing about moding.I barely made it to merge the "spell.2da"file (i think) but no matter how much I search the net i cant get right the tlk file.Can you help me in anyway ,i know you may be busy but still i would like to enjoy this classic mod. Thanks a lot:)
The hak file would need to be downloaded by players, otherwise they would be unable to actually see the floating disc(s). You need to have the model and texture files on your computer for them to show up in-game, so those can't just be server-side (scripts can, but not models). _________________________ World of Aenea (Hall of Fame PW and the origin of all my works)

There is not really a way to add it without a hak. It adds 7 new non-overriding creature models (and an 8th for animations if you don't use CEP), two icon files, and the edits you need for spells.2da also need to be in a hak. You also need to distribute your own .tlk file if you want people to have a good spell description. _________________________ World of Aenea (Hall of Fame PW and the origin of all my works)

I somehow overlooked this before, but now I'm glad to have found it. As a fan of classic 1st Edition spells, it was great to see this one in action in NWN. Effortless to install, worked flawlessly, and the thoughtful options are much appreciated. Marvelous work! _________________________ Realms Of Destiny PW

C'mon, it's Tenser's Floating Disc; how awesome is that? You can even choose the colour!

A great spell. Simple, does what it says it does, and is something magical to do other than throwing damage spells at a target that is still highly practical. A must for any serious mage player.

I haven't been lucky enough to run across this yet but when I do I'll be sure to remember where I found it, great addition!

Squee! _________________________ @===============================================@
Vinchenzo made a post here.
Plz check out my entries. I'm currently making a few simple modules, designing 3 special characters, and hope to someday be good this stuff.
This is Vinchenzo, finishing his post with the following advice:
Don't use Latin improperly (Lupis means grey, Rufus is red, Canid is dog, so on.) Furries annoy me with their improper usage of such. And I'm a furry!!! Ugh...
Don't vote for Beta things unless told they are finished, unless posted specifically by the author.
Don't abuse the vote and post function, don't vote for your own/friends stuff just to get a high vote. Don't flame vote either just to be an ass.
There is a voting system for how the points are used, even I forget, but we should follow it (and tattoo it to our forehead, lol)

Wow, I can't believe that there's something that Amethyst Dragon made that I haven't voted on yet!
In all seriousness, I never had any exposure to teh spell - but Dead Jane leveled last night, and it was one of the ones I re-selected (who needs that expe-whatever retreat!). I have yet to fully evaluate it, but so far it looks to be way helluva cool!

I think this spell is great and does what it says ... and has been a long time in waiting for someone to do this for NWN.. the only reason this is not a full 10?.. it should be a ranger spell as well in my oppinion for those high dex, low str (or high wis/zen archery) bow based rangers.. .. .. an easy change to make yourself to the 2da but one people might want to consider..
