Here is my New Years gift to the Neverwinter Nights 2 community; a Terrain Texture Pack containing 222 new textures for exterior areas!
The images used are from searching Google pictures, and the rest are from around my house.
Instructions:
You need the compression utility, "7-ZIP" to unpack these files. 7-Zip is a great tool & can be found here (for FREE!): Link
* Go to the DOWNLOAD button on the left of your screen, then select the correct version for your particular operating system.
To check out the files, install 7-Zip first. Next, right click "Ugly_Ducks Terrain Texture Pack Volume 1.7z" and mouse over the 7-Zip option. Select "Extract Here". This will decompress the files and make them useable.
Now, place "UDs Terrain Texture Pack Vol.1 OVERRIDE" in your My Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2/Override folder. This file contains the terrainmaterials.2da and the .dds files for the textures.
Then, copy the contents of "Texture BMP Icons" into your Program Files/Atari/Neverwinter Nights 2/NWN2Toolset/Terrain folder. *NOTE: You CANNOT place the folder in this directory, the icons need to be placed in there outside of a subfolder for them to be recognized by the game.
Finally, fire up the toolset & start texturing!
*Notes:
- Some of the textures have a high brightness level that I was unable to correct in GIMP or Photoshop. The way around this is to use a DAY.NIGHT cycle that has lower light (such as the Ashenwood Snowy cycle). This is mainly for the Ice & Snow textures, but there is a Grass texture that could benefit from this also.
- The textures are not as 'seemless' as I would have liked them to be - I tried like hell to get them right, but they are still somewhat ridged. I hope that you like these none the less...
** UPDATE: 1.11.2011 **
- Added 22 New Terrain Textures: 6 Lava/Magma Textures & 16 Crystal-like textures, as requested.
- You'll need to download version 2 to have access to the new textures.
