Finally I can release this set. We announced its existance in our first NwNPodcast interview but one thing or another has kept me from working on it, I was never happy about its looks until now. So here it is. Our Pockiet Ship Interiors set.
This set has tiles for three different deck sizes, use them for different levels of the same ship or for individual levels of different sized vessels. A small collection of placeables is included in the set.
Stairs are placeables in this set, there is a placeable stair for ascending and a placeable hatch for descending, you will have to script or otherwise setup your own transitions.
Dont forget the up/dn arrow when selecting tiles as some tiles have alternates.
Notes:
1. The captains cabin metatile is designed to connect to the midships(upper deck) tiles only, you could connect it to the other tiles I suppose with creative use of placeables.
2. Bow tiles will only align with the narrow end of Fore tiles
3. Stern tiles align with the midships tiles or the wide end of the fore tiles only.
Contents:
Installation instructions:
The RAR files should contain the following files:
rws_pocketships.hak:
place this file in your "C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_LOGIN_NAME\My Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2\hak" folder
rws_pocketships_2da.hak:
place this file in your "C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_LOGIN_NAME\My Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2\hak" folder
it contains all the 2da files used by the tileset
Tiles.2da:
An override of the OEI tiles.2da file. Place this file in your mydocs override directory. You only need this file in the override if you are planning to build using these resources. If you are just playing a mod containing this tileset then you only need the hak in the hak directory
Tilesets.2da
An Override of the OEI tilesets.2da file. place this file in your mydocs override directory. You only need this file in the override if you are planning to build using these resources. If you are just playing a mod containing this tileset then you only need the hak in the hak directory
Metatiles.2da
An override of the OEI metatiles.2da file. place this file in your mydocs override directory. You only need this file in the override if you are planning to build using these resources. If you are just playing a mod containing this tileset then you only need the hak in the hak directory
Placeables.2da
An override of the OEI placeables.2da file. I include this file loose for those that must combine 2da files, it is not needed in the override to build or play with this content as the 2da in the hak file does that.
Placeables.erf
This is an importable file that has already got the placeables for this tileset put in blueprints for your use.
pocketship.mod:
This is a small walk through module showcasing most of the features of the Pocket Ship tileset. It contains no encounters or transitions at all. I suggest you open it up in your toolset and take a look. Remember to place your loose 2da's in the override.
Note to builders:
The 2da files listed separately above are required to be in your override directory if you plan to build with this tileset...it is not necessary to have them in your override to play any mod that uses this tileset provided the player has the 2 hak files located properly. The hak file is for play.
Note that Placeables.2da is an exception, it is located in the hak file and can be read by the toolset. I do not recommend you place that 2da in your override while you are building.
Dont forget to associate the hak with any modules you may be building by: (excerpted from Heeds Article at Link )
"Opening your mod in the toolset and go to View --> Module Properties. In the properties tab you will see a listing for hakpaks. Click on it. A new window will open. Click the Add button and a new entry will appear on the top right. Click where it says FileName, navigate to your C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_LOGIN_NAME\My Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2\hak folder and choose your hakpak. Press
OK, save your module and you're done."

Excellent work as always by RWS. I'm using this tileset for Oswald's Airship in the IWD NWN2 remake and it works perfectly. Thanks again for all you work. _________________________ Chronicles of Charnia - Escape from Charn (NWN2) Chronicles of Charnia - The Exile (NWN2) Chronicles of Charnia - Lanterna

A masterpiece! Keep up the good work!

Since one of my designers had planned to use this in our PW, I went to review it, and all I can say is, I am genuinely impressed! This is nothing short of a good quality submission to the vault. Thank you for all your hard work! _________________________ Remnants.
