This is a large compilation of creatures which overwrites the standard Bioware palette equivilent.
I have had to repaired the ettercap, werecat, and dracolich animations due to new animations involved in the new models.
Creatures now in the override file:
Ghouls by Lord of Worms & Sixesthrice
Skeletons by Sixesthrice
Zombies by Lord of Worms & Diademus
Liches by Sixesthrice
Vampires by Sixesthrice
Mohrg by Lord of Worms
Goblins by Lord of Worms/EvilAsmo & SebastianCain
Hill Giant by Bloodmonkey
Ettin by Ziroc
Erinyes by Magma
Chicken by Ancarion
Stirge by Lathspell
Ogres by DLA
Ancient Dragons by Hardpoints
Trolls by Diademus
Troll by Mr. Furious
Manticore by Bat in the Hat
Imps by Sixesthrice & Adinz
Mindflayer Venerator by CODI
Ulitharid by CODI
Werewolf by Lord of Worms
Orcs by Lord of Worms & Diademus
Mummies by Sixesthrice

Doom Knights by Sixesthrice
Wight by Sixesthrice & Lord of Worms
Some additional textures provided by Adinz, Sylrae and Diademus,
additional animations by Ragnarok_Mr4, and additional Visual
Effects by Hardpoints. I hope I'm not leaving anyone out if I
did send me an e-mail an I will ensure your name gets on the list.

Now some limitations. This override is not compatible with other creature haks other than CEP 2.1.
11-15-08 A CEP 2.1 compatible hak has been uploaded and ready for testing. Just place the hak above all the CEP haks and you should be good to go. Remember the original override version is still required to be in the override for it to work.
11-24-08 Fix inproper upload of override version posted on the 15th.
11-26-08 Hak version created by request. Also three new screens of creatures that will be added in the up coming creature addition hak and if you can't tell it will be a major upgarde to the Giant portion of the palette. This will be the first of many palette upgrades.
12-04-08 Posted two more screens of creatures which will be included in the creature addition which will be released in future.
12-05-08 Better screens added from the original creature compilation.
Cheers and enjoy!!!
This is a CEP hak which will allow the overide to work with the overide compilation. Place it above the CEP haks and it should allow proper use of the compilation
This is the hak version of the of the monster overide. This is the first of 4 haks required. Place the top hak first and all others in numerica below this hak.
This seems to actually be missing the vampire override?

Did I forget to vote. At any rate, this holds a permanent place in my override (patch-hak).

I don't know what I would do without it - the original creature models in great parts were just hideous
Wonderful work!

This is a great compilation. I wish it had even more creatures but what is here looks good. Thanks for getting these all together in one easy download. Im looking for something similar to this that changes the npc's and other humanoid types. Is there anything like that available ?

Wonderful creatures, add a lot to the game. Voted 10 based on the work you did gathering them all and the haks, but I'd also vote 10 on the original artists work if I can find them.
A big thanks to all those who have contributed and those who continue to contribute. Each have made neverwinter the best game ever.

Tried it this morning on my testing module ("A Harper's Tale" modified with CEP). Worked like a charm and the goblins were beautiful ... even better than the Project Q ones (goblins should retain a _slightly_ dopey quality). Even if no new creatures are added to the compilation, I hope you'll keep making it compatible with CEP through haks.

I hop back n' forth between NWN1 and 2 ... and just recently saw this.
I am rejoicing at the compilation ... but I'm also frightened. I was looking at this as an alternative to the Q project. Knowing that it is being "rolled into" NWN Enhanced is the frightening aspect. Just like Q, that project is not - and has no plans to be - CEP compatible. Even though I admit CEP has its failings, Q and NWNE have quite a ways to go before I'll chose them over CEP.
This seemed to be the best of both worlds with the compatibility hak. Does the rollover mean an end to future separate updates and compatibility?

Puregold useful easy to implement thanks for foing al lthe leg work collecting these.
Depends on how you want to use it the hak version consist of four haks creature top hak, I, II, and III in that order. If you wish to use the override version you'll require the creature I, II, and III unzipping all files into the NWN override folder. The textures themselves aren't much good without the models as most will not work on the original models. _________________________ [Creature Compilation] [The Q Castle Project]
Sorry to sound dumb but I just want to use these new textures in my regular game. Do I ned to DL all the HAKs or do I just need the creature 7z's?
Thats for the help. These look great.
Like said Graymaster better late than never and thanks for that vote. The Creature Compilation has now be rolled into the NWN Enhanced there's a link in my signature. _________________________ [Creature Compilation] [The Q Castle Project]

Sorry to have been so long delayed in voting - long story and of no interest to anyone - but, as they say (whoever "they" is!), better late than never.

Great overrides. It definitely makes the trolls and orcs look like... well, trolls and orcs haha. And I love the addition of the giant dragon models used for the Ancient Dragons. Any chance of a Creature_IV coming soon?

Oh forgot to mention checkout pstemarie's wesite Neverwinter Realms it in his signature for all the current updated happenings of the creature override and the SRD package.
You might find cool new screens and information of whats in store come Febuary and plus really would like you to have some inputs as to what you'd like to see. _________________________ [Creature Compilation] [The Q Castle Project]
Liche I think 7z is even more compressed than rar files. Glad you were ablr to download them and enjoy them.
Hoping to have a new release out by the end of the month but please don't hold me to that exact date.
I also have joined with my friend pstemarie and the creatures are going to available and playable with his fantastic SRD override bringing you new spells and fixes plus much much more. So look for it soon . _________________________ [Creature Compilation] [The Q Castle Project]

Ah, don't worry about making them into .rar format. I'm getting them all anyway, so it's no biggie. If I can download them, I'm pretty sure anyone can.
