Created for the players of The World of Aenea PW, I am releasing this to the general public.
This is an upgraded, unabtrusive, informative, and transparent GUI for Neverwinter Nights. It was designed so that the game interface would not intrude as much on play of the game.
Take a look at the screen shots. Some of these images are big files, but detail is needed to really show the differnces from the original game resources.
Featured in this upgrade are:
- An informative hit point bar (that tells you at a glace how wounded you are)
- Transparent chat bar, chat windows, and quickbar
- Transparent windows for everything in the game, from character sheet to journal
- Transparent player menu buttons
- Upgraded versions of all my Hall of Fame winning Colorized Icons
- Upgraded emote icons
- Colorized domain icons
- All in-game icons (not cursors, just icons) have been upgraded to blend in
To Use:
1. Pick your download version (ZIP or RAR).
2. Download.
3. Decompress into your NWN/override directory (folder)
4. Overwrite any conflicting files from my previous icon packages
5. Enjoy!
6. Come back and vote...I like votes :)
If you like this and want to see more of what I've thought up, feel free to visit www.amethyst-dragon.com/nwn and then log into The World of Aenea PW.
Quick Fix 01: 3 minor file fixes based on feedback. Download and decompress into your override folder AFTER you have done the main GUI package.
Quick Fix 02: A minor fix for the missing alpha channel on the cursor, plus a few new cursor colorations. Download and decompress into your override folder AFTER you have done the main GUI package.
Quick fix. Decompress AFTER the full GUI is in your override (this overwrites 3 files). Fixed: Timestop spell icon for non-Aenea players, True Seeing effect icon, hench/summon hp bar.

This looked cool but then I tried that... There is just too much transparency for me, especially Game options menu looks horrible. And it's unlogically colored (same as your spell/feat icons)... I like the red flowing damage and the *idea* of HP Bar is good too. But why blue color ???? I just couldn't adapt, maybe I'm too conservative for this... _________________________ [Boost System] [Door System] [Devastating Critical Immunity] [HIPS remake] [Circle Kick Mode] [1.69 Full 2da Source]

This is just lovely. I can't quite imagine playing without it anymore. The only minor problem is that sometimes certain messages are hard to read because of the transparency, but I don't see anything that can be done about it without making it look very awkward and out of place. Great job!
A really fine addition to the game, both aesthetically pleasing and imminently practical.

You know I swear I've voted for this once already.. I have been using this since I discovered it.. with a few alterations of my own (I didn't like the full removal of "boxes around things"..) .. this is the best GUI I have found.. and so what if it adds a few plugs to the PW?.. that is a great PW and I wish more people would do similar so that all that stuff in your override gets a little recognition of source each time you play.. ..and AD is there any chance the GUI can be up-dated to include your newer 1.69 releases?

This may be the most game improving add on out there. I can't tell you how many time the transparent menus have saved my butt. Rock on.

Drake Sontan: You can remove the blue bar (and return to the red) by either removing (or preferably) editing gui_boxes_ingame.tga. Removing it may affect a few other minor parts of the GUI. If editing, just zoom in on the light blue space and replace with the color of your choice. _________________________ World of Aenea (Hall of Fame PW and the origin of all my works) Vault Entries: The Complete List (50+ entries, including 17 Hall of Fame awards) Self-Promotional Honesty: If you have opinions on stuff I've made, or if you use any of it (as a player or builder), I like comments/votes/feedback...so do other content makers and builders.
