A re-textured clone of the bronze dragon model, with semi-transparent membranes (wings and dorsal sail).
The ZIP file includes a HAK and an ERF.
Copy the HAK into the /Neverwinter Nights 2/HAK/ folder under 'Documents and Settings'. It contains the cloned dragon model, and a new visual effect for the negative breath weapon.
The ERF can be imported into a module, and contains two shadow dragon blueprints (adult and ancient). It also contains the updated negative-energy dragon breath script. This was an 'X2_' script in the game, so I think that means it was introduced with Storm of Zehir (all other dragon breath scripts begin with 'NW_'). It now does both negative energy damage (allowing a reflex save) and level drains (no save).
The problem with the wings and dorsal crest is that I want them semi-transparent, whereas the models only allow either full transparency or none. I've used the glow map to colour the wings, and some random noise in the texture's alpha channel to speckle them up to stop them being fully transparent.
It's just occured to me though that changing the colour of the wing texture to match that of the glow map might make the opaque speckles less obvious. I feel some more tinkering coming on...
