This is a repost of diademus' Underdark Spidercaves tileset, submitted since the original posts were removed from the Vault.
Note: This poster remains strictly neutral in whatever event led to the removal of the original posts from the Vault. I merely felt that those in the community who want to use and enjoy this great content, which has already been in the community domain for some time, should have continued access.

7/11/2008: Now that the NWN 1.69 final release is available, I've posted an updated version below for NWN 1.69. This includes all tileset content from diademus' Underdark Spidercaves v3.5 with minimaps by LordofWorms but also incorporates necessary updates to the doortypes.2da, usc01.set, loadscreens.2da, and environment.2da files to be fully compatible with NWN 1.69. (v2.5 and v3.5 are NWN 1.68 compatible only.) A summary of those changes and instructions to update areas built with v2.5 or v3.5 for NWN 1.69 are included in the hak description. (Open the .hak file with the nwhak utility to read the description.) Enjoy!

I'm so glad this cameback alive, I really needed this and now I can make the deeper Ice caverns. Btw I already did release the chaos realm mod but in the short-run I decided to remake it and now this shall be part of it. Thank you so much. Its also sad to lose a NWN hero who orginally made this, his work was supreme in all respects. _________________________ Life is but a Dream.

thank you for submitting this file. i searched for it for a while, because i lost my copy. and now, i have a updated version! wow! thanks to lord of worms! also a hero of the vault! _________________________ Link
when I think of geniouses like Diademus leaving the NWN community, I think about AlienSlof leaving the ElderScrolls community, and when me and a good friend broke up and never saw eachother again, and when one of my pets died and numerous other sad endings... _________________________ @===============================================@
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)

Bio-Knight, you said it! Hundreds of mods and the game experience for thousands of players are far better because of his three Hall of Fame creatures and this remarkable tileset. (The descent to the Underdark in my own mod would not be nearly as immersing, or creepy, without it.)

thanks for saving his work.
i know sometimes communities can be tough so maybe he had some anger with someone or felt misunderstood, so i hope he will join again and doesnt drop the game completely.

Bio-Knight,
All I know from the comment threads in some of diademus' original post is that a very unfortunate but serious disagreement made him decide to suddenly leave the community and remove most of his work from the Vault. While I completely respect and honor his right to do so, I felt it appropriate to repost the fruits of his labor that so many of us in the community already have and enjoy, so that all may continue to do so.
