Requirements: Nwnv1.69, SoU, and HoTU plus CEPv2.2c3
Located in the mysterious and exotic Far East, the Pagoda of Five Gods is a site where pilgrims come to worship and martial artists come to test themselves against the Pagoda's five guardian monks. At the top-most floor is a room said to be filled with treasure, but few have laid eyes on that chamber and lived to tell of its' wonders. Today, however, the guardians are not at home so you can see all the wonders of the Pagoda of Five Gods and its' gilded treasures for yourself.
The prefab consists of the six levels of the Pagoda itself, the Pagoda's exterior area, and the interior of the Pagoda's nearby Storage House, which can also function as a shop if so desired or required by your module.
Included is a demo module and an .erf file for importing this prefab area into your own module or game world.
10/22/2009: Today, I fixed the carpets and the side of the Storage House so that everything now meshes properly. The fixed version of the prefab is now up and ready to be downloaded by all.
Ok... I took Inayity's advice and so I went ahead and fixed those few tiny imperfections, such as the side of the Storage House and the carpets' Z-axis. The new, fixed version is 1.2, so if you got the old one, make sure that you download the new one now that it's up. The fixes are in both the DEMO mod and in the .erf file alike. I'm happy to see that everyone likes how this area came out, too. It was one of my more detailed projects thus far. :)

This isnt that bad :) its got a nice atmosphere to it and its fairly simple and hardly complex at all! I have to say though, your storage house feels more like a tiny suite than a place to put things in.
I like the way you set up the scenes and the selection of music was quite nice as well. Quite a unique one, reminds me of a jungle city of sorts but with a flair of oriental much like your Sacred Garden of Nelebrinel.
nice work as always Chaos, you never ceased to impress me with your skills. perhaps i could challenge you to use an actual oriental set next time? an ide such as a city of some sort. I made one myself if you are intrested in seeing? i used cep 2.2, the ccp, and a oriental rural tileset. It came out fairly nice!

Very impressive. I'd encourage everyone to set aside a few minutes, load this up and just experience it for themselves.
This is a beautiful bit of art. By physically combining some of the NNW2 placeable buildings with tile group buildings you have pulled an entirely new, third, style which is your creation entirely. Brilliant!
Thanks for sharing this...this is one of the nicer prefabs I've ever seen on the Vault. And it ran perfectly smooth on my old crusty GeForce5500, which also figured into my vote.
The only less-than-perfect things I could find were that in the Pagoda of Five Gods area, the 2 "House, 2 Story" placeables could be a bit more recessed so as not to disrupt the brickwork on the side of the storage house and some (very, very few) of your carpets seem to need a .1 Z-axis bump up to prevent cross-hatching from the player shadow. For example, the effect I saw when standing on the center rug of the Palace of the Tiger seemed to be cured by bumping the Tatami Mat, Large to .01 Z and the Persian Star Carpet to .02 Z. Thanks again!
