I know it's such a little thing, but the invisible bowstrings have always bothered me and I finally decided to do something about it (Just in time for the new Arcane Archers). While I was looking through Bioware's bow models I came across some extra unused models and I have added them to this hak as well. There are now twice as many long bows and short bows and they have all been modified with animated bowstrings. In addition, Mark Valentine 'h20rat' has graciously provided a Goblin Bow with a new texture, available only in this hak at no extra charge. :)
There is a demo module included which displays all of the available bow models and colors. Be sure to check the readme file for details and known issues.
Kinarr, if you're still around... the Oxo'ys Long Bow asked me to come over here and ask you for some string =) _________________________ The VIVE NWN Project.

Simple idea, but much needed! Often the small things lay ground for bigger events. Thank you for this...

It would be really nice if we could have an update for this great hak that sorts out the bow colour 4 (black) and issues with the CEP bows (which have horrid ugly static strings, that don't bend, which then ALSO have these flexible strings overlaid).

Ok, now I figured out what was going on - User error :)
bowstrings work fine for me from both the override directory and a hakpak.
The problem I was having resulted from a combined hakpak not having ALL of Kinar's parts Top, Middle and Bottom. In fact the hak I was using only had the top (bowstrings).
Kinar had to rotate the bows with strings so that the bowstring would not pass through the forearm, but the combo-hak I was using did not have the bow (middle) and grip(bottom) pieces - so they were not rotated, but the strings were causing the "offset" string issue...
My appologies for any confustion... but this was a bit tricky to sort out.

Rhedd has some nice cloaks and i forgot who but their is an adventurers pack that has a quiver on the back....only bad thing is that you will have to modify the numbers for them because the adventurers pack and the cloaks have the same numbers

This is a compilation of the old system into a single score. There were 10 that made this score of 9.39.

Ah... bowstrings, much better, now we need a cloak and quiver comb :). That and a bag for sling stones, and a case for bolts. Strings for crossbows would be terribly appreciated too :). Once again, great hack.
These bows are now standard resources in the toolset, so the old kinarr bows clash, I think the looks of most of the bows were even changed. Hopefully he can just redo the ones now in the toolset to give them strings.

No problems at all for me (solo or online). Is there any intention to do crossbows as well? These are ace.

EXCELLENT HAK. Has anyone else had problems since HotU? Up until I installed Hordes, it worked perfectly when I extracted the files into the override.
Now the bowstrings are gone when I'm playing online, or the HotU modules....
Posted by Zelintha ( ..xxx.xxx ) at 2003-12-31 11:48:00
I never noticed it in the test mod, but in any other module there is a strange thing with new bows:
I looks all right on the ground. It's all right until you equip one of those - LONG bows only. Short ones look good. The string is shifted toward the body of the bowman.
From this moment on it's misplaced :(((
I have SOU v1.32.

great hak, thank you!
Posted by Amaraith ( ..xxx.xxx ) at 2003-09-14 09:25:00
Hey! Nice work but when I make one of your awesome bows the string is all out of wack. In the game they look GREAT!
it was a much needed addition to the Game. Any idea how I can fix the string out of wack thing? Any other things in the works?
