NWN2 VISUAL EFFECTS

- Jump to comments -
Name  Less Obtrusive Spell Buffs
Author  clubok
Submitted / Updated  12-26-2006 / 10-11-2007
Category  Spell Effects
Patch  1.03
NWN2Game  All
Description
Tired of the "buff ball" graphics? They obstruct your view, and also reduce your framerate.

This mod doesn't remove them entirely - it simply tones them down. You'll still see an indication that the spell is on, but you don't have to give up drive cam mode for lack of visibility.

Affected spells include:
- Mage Armor (and Greater)
- Protection from Alignment
- Protection from Arrows
- Protection from Energy (and variants)
- Shield
- Ghostly Visage (and ethereal variants)

Let me know if I missed any particularly annoying ones!
Version 1.1: Added Entropic Warding
Version 1.2: Added Entropic Warding, Light to the No Effects version.
Version 1.3: Added Globe of Invulnerability, Mirror Image
Version 1.4: Added Invisibility Sphere
Version 1.5: Improved Mirror Image (based on work by Sorceress Ashura)

An attempt at a new version of mirror image. If I get positive feedback, I'll make it a permanent part of BuffEffects.

All I can say is....THANK YOU! Wonderful for roleplay, never had a problem, and helps framerate a huge amount. _________________________ Obsidian Shore, a HoF 9.8 heavy roleplaying PW. Dark and gritty fairytale world with the opportunity to do and change the world as you wish. Link Greycliff, a brand new NWN1 heavy roleplaying PW. A broken kingdom is all that remains from a bloody civil war. Link

Excellent and sensible custom override that gets rid of the incredibly silly and obnoxious visuals that comes with the vanilla game. As far as the new mirror image, it's a step in the right direction but still a bit too obtrusive and obscures view of things close by as another reviewer commented. If there was a way to reduce the size of the images and cluster them closer together and closer to the PC that might do the trick.

I love the mod, but I've added the Mirror Immage square and I don't like it as it reduces visibility of targets and items close to your character. How do I go about reverting back to the standard mirror image graphic?

Posted by Raskae at on12/25/07
I'm not really liking the new 1.5 Mirror image. It looks beatiful, by all means, and I think it perfect represents concealment.... Unfortunately, that means it's also concealing what I'm trying to look at... having to constantly pause and re-align the camera to be able to see who/what is standing right next to me. The blind spots are just too wide.

Simply a must have game playability fix.
