3rd: The module event "OnAcquireItem" needs to be modified such that when a successful pickpocket is made, the item is removed from the item slot and then destroyed. This script does just that (it assumes the tag for all armor stands in the module has the substring "ArmorStand" in the tag):

Is there any reason to have the weapon display in the OnPerception event instead of the OnSpawn event? _________________________ I am willing to suspend my disbelief,

I had the same problem as Beta20. I was using the customizable skeleton pack. The fix was simple but took awhile. First, use the NWHak.exe utility to extract all the files in the hak. Next, if you look in the appearance.2da file, you'll see that the "Race" column of the armor stand and the custom race that you can't see is the same (it'll be S). You'll need to change it to some unused value (I used V for the Armor Stand and left the custom race alone).
Next you'll have to change the names of ALL of the models for the armor stand. Go into that directory where you extracted all the hak files and you'll notice that the 3rd character of all of the models (all files with an mdl extension) is "s". Since I changed the race for the armor stand I used to V, I had to change the 3rd character of all model names to v (so the file pfs0.mdl had to be renamed pfv0.mdl). Do this for all the mdl files (I know, it's a lot of them but it's easy to do).
Then, use NWHak to make a new hak file. Import all the altered files you've made and save it on top of the old armor stand hak. That should do it.

I am an idiot. I used this with 1.30 and now it has made my custom creatures invisible in the toolset, and in the game it crashes when I try to enter the areas where the creatures are placed. How do I thouroughly get rid of the hack?

I can't get this hak to work. When I try to drop the armor stand into my mod, there is nothing there. I go to edit the armor stand and there is not model selected, and there is no armour stand model on the list.

Note sure if you've gotten an answer, but you throw the hak file away AFTER you have removed it from your module and done a build on it.

i dont want to answer for Kinarr, but when i upgraded to nwn 1.30 opening the creature properties window in the toolset, it wouldn't let me click ok until i changed the torso (to chest 001) in the appearance tab. something about needing a part with geometry selected. it appeared to work normally after that.
Posted by Whalebones ( ..xxx.xxx ) at 2003-07-17 03:30:00
hello greycloak, did your hak work with nwn 1.30 ? sou ? or possible conflict ?
Posted by Wedge ( ..xxx.xxx ) at 2003-06-29 22:31:00
I wasn't suggesting that you include her clothing, as the dress model scripts would make that redundant. just I was wondering what controls whether or not a certain armor part is displayed or not.
say for example i wanted the bicep parts of any standard armor displayed, but the stands unequipped appearance be exactly as it is now.
i assume its part of the make up of model, as if you give a human the invisible arm part, the arm will still show up if its part of the armor, where yours does the opposite.
great stuff though

A little suggestion I thought of: Why not have forearm pieces or something lying on the ground or something? I think it'd give it sort of a lazily thrown on the ground look... I don't know, it made sense in my head... *headache*
Posted by Den of Assassins ( ..xxx.xxx ) at 2003-06-02 06:41:00
One more quick question: did you make any alterations to the human default parts for the stand race? Reason I ask is because of custom armors... ;)
Posted by Saju ( ..xxx.xxx ) at 2003-05-31 17:31:00
I LOVE THIS!!!
Kinarr, you are my god! This is simply an awesome hak! I know you have the bench and stuff, but by any chance, could you do me a favor and make a stand made to hold two longswords? I know anything else would look wierd, but I need one for only longswords. If you could do this, I would greatly appreciate it, thanks!

Finally got around to giving this a run-through and it came out very nice indeed... took me a bit to figure out why the Mace +3 was spawning on the floor, but it's because the store inventory is being copied to the Stand NPC inventory which fills up and thus dumps one item on the floor. Kinarr, easy fix is just to delete a weapon or two from the store in the demo module.
If you ever get the inclination to expand upon this, I'd love to see a separate model with the weapon bench as the default and no armor stand for weaponsmith shops. Also, I haven't done much with equippable PC parts, but how hard would it be to map the wood color to say hair so that there could be some variation in coloring while keeping the wood grain?
Thanks again for sharing such outstanding work. :)
