This plugin has been integrated into the Usability Tools plugin. Please install that plugin to receive the appearance previewer for patch level 1.10 and later. Note that the location of the previewer menu item has changed; it will now be found under the View menu.

Toolset patch: 1.06.980 ->
GFsAppearancePreviewer1.0603.zip
Toolset patch: 1.06.973 ->
GFsAppearancePreviewer1.0602.zip
Toolset patch: 1.06.972 -> GFsAppearancePreviewer1.0601.zip

** IMPORTANT: If you have an earlier version installed, you must first REMOVE the files GFsNWN2ToolsLibrary and GFsAppearancePreviewer.dll from your Plugins folder
This simple plugin is just a convenience tool that allows you to quickly preview appearances of creatures and placeables. The preview window controls are the same as they are elsewhere in the toolset.
NOTE: if you already use my Creature Creator Plugin, you will be prompted to overwrite the NWN2ToolsLibrary.dll file upon install. This is OK to do.
Download this version if you have installed patch 1.06.980.
Installation and release notes can be found in the included file Notes-and-Installation.txt MPORTANT: The files have been renamed in this release. If you have an earlier version installed, you must REMOVE the files GFsNWN2ToolsLibrary and GFsAppearancePreviewer from your Plugins folder.
This plugin will be getting rolled into my Usability Tools plugin effective with the 1.07beta release. All of that plugin's features can be deactivated in the preferences, so you'll be able to have access to only appearance previewer if you need it. _________________________ The Grinning Fool The World of Khalidine, a unique RP PW.
1.05 is actually still available, it's just poorly labeled ;) It's the "AppearancePreviewerPlugin.zip" without any version information. I reckon I'll fix that next time through.
This looks great. As soon as I update to v1.06 I will be installing this. Would have saved me major major time when making my mod, esp for placeables. Too often i had to preview everything by hand.
There is another utility up here, called something like Visual Preview Editor or something, that gives you an out-of-toolset index with every appearance. That was good too, but the integration with the toolkit is a nice idea. _________________________ Jackyo [email protected]
Thanks for the votes folks. Just to give an update, I'll be merging this plugin with the airbrush plugin, adding some additional new features, and retitling the whole mess as "usability plugin".
grognon: try turning off shadow display in your area viewer settings (button along the top of the toolset).
sgt_why: this just previews the precreated creatures and placeables; I will add a male/female option in my next update, but there are very few creatures for whom it will make a difference _________________________ The Grinning Fool The World of Khalidine, a unique RP PW.
can i preview male/female versions ... like when creating new armor ? seems to default to only male. _________________________ the Red Hand of Doom campaign .. Click Here
added source code for the plguin itself. Source code for 'gfsnwn2toolslibrary" [also used] will be released in coming weeks, but does require some updates/cleanup before I do so. _________________________ The Grinning Fool The World of Khalidine, a unique RP PW.
