Wanna bash some heads at the local pub, but too drunk to find your sword? Grab up whatever's handy then, and brawl away! Snatch up a beer mug and crack a skull! Break a chair over someone's back! Thunk 'em with a bottle! Slash 'em when the bottle breaks! But maybe you should stay out of the kitchen. Lots of things in there could really hurt someone. Whaddaya mean, you WANT to hurt someone?
Well, here are more things to grab up and use as weapons of opportunity. I hope some folks get a kick out of them. The Demo works on all 1.66 NWN, but there is a hak and erf for either Hotu or CEP 1.52
JFK
Makeshift Weapons: Makeshift Placeables:
Chair Poker, flat and leaning

Just put the appropriate hak in your Neverwinternights/NWN/haks folder, and put the erf into your Neverwinternights/NWN/erfs folder.
++++++++BACK UP YOUR MODULE!!++++++++
Start your module, add the hak, and import the erf.
:) Thanks for your awesome post, Sen! Praise coming from you is high praise indeed, with the incredible stuff you've given the community. You made my day!

Thanks for the nice words and vote, Izk. I love the stuff you've released, and are working on too.
Y'know, a while ago I did make a rolling pin from the NWN2 model, and was thinking of other 'makeshift' weapons, such as believe it or not, a big hard salami as a club! lol
Maybe after things irl settle down I will take another look at this stuff.
Thanks again,

Great idea! Great selection, too. The skillet is priceless. I have a dwarf NPC whose wife could use that, lol. How about a rolling pin? If you should ever do any more of these, maybe some farm implements? Wooden rakes, shovels, pitchforks, etc. You know, for when the peasants revolt and storm the castle? I saw some nice looking placeables somewhere of some of those, including a rolling pin, and started thinking about that. They may have been part of thegeorge's NWN2 stuff, I'm not sure.
Hey, thanks for posting Big Bene. I need to check this pack more often. I'm glad you got your black skinmesh fixed (thanks Brian!), and I hope you like the makeshift weapons. I have made them 1.69 compatible, but haven't updated this entry yet.

Hi!
After you answered to my post in the Bioware forum, I had a look on your links and found this gem. It's a thing I often thought about and had some plans how to make it in the back of my head, but never had the time to actually do it. It's great to see it in reality - and obvieousely in a very good way (judging by the sreenshots, still have to download and test it - will also vote then).
Hmmm, regarding the below post. I have made it compatible with the last patch, but have not yet uploaded that version. I'm waiting to finish the other stuff first.

This is *exactly* what I needed for a bar fight I was working up for a module. Good variety of objects, nice demo of the chair & breaking scripts. It's quite fun to have NPCs whip out broken bottles when the fight starts, or grab a chair and start swinging at the PC! Lovely stuff, the kind which we used to do often in PnP games.
My only real issues/ suggestions are minor. First, there's not a lot of documentation (how to incorporate the hak in your module, for example), which would have helped me make use of this more quickly. Second, the sounds don't always match the items being equipped/ picked up (e.g., the chair makes a sword noise). I took a look in the 2da file, and I realize now that this is because chair/poker/branch all get the same "misc_large" entry. Maybe a generic "thump" noise would be better?

Good job. I'd first like to know if you are going to update this. If so i would like to see the ability to knock over tabels to make baracades and then being able to break their legs off to use as clubs. I would also like to see bar stools added because what is a bar without the bar, and what is the bar without bar stools. It would also be nice if you added a script that could be used to make people check their weapons (possibly in a bank vault type chest) befor entering the bar. This is because sadly some people dont understand the joy of rping and when this brawl started would simply pull out their most powerful weapon ignoring the hard work you did. also it would be nice if you made a script to make the npc's use the weapons as well. _________________________ Time is never on your side.
It's just less an enemy to you than it is to your opponent.

Great idea!
Funny story, my g/f used to play a gnomish person in P&P who almost exclusively wielded a frying pan for their primary melee weapon. Would sneak up on goblins and WHANG!!!!
And now, that forgotten character can live and breathe in NWN once more.
I wonder how long before someone makes a frying pan with epic enchantments... heh.
I am set to update this package tonight (Jan 23) and there will be a version for CEP, and one for HotU. I have added many new weapons of opportunity, as well as placeables. The hak here was more of a Demo of what I was trying to do. Thanks,

Now this is what I wanted to see ^_^ Very nice. Will this Hak conflict with CEP?

I registered just to vote on this (been downloading stuff from the vault for ages) - this is simply such a great idea!
Thanks for the positive feedback, all. =)
So far, besides the chair, I have a broom, a branch, and a pitcher. Still adding a stein, a meat cleaver, wine bottle, and a chunk of firewood. I will add pots and pans too, and thanks for the great idea.

Wow!! Excellent work!

All we need now is a broken bottle and we've got a bar fight! Maybe a broken pool cue or two...

Very cool!
How about adding a unique use that lets you throw the chair at someone? :)
