I am not sure if it is even legal to use copyrighted images in a mod, but I have seen others do it (like the famous 'Fall From Heaven' mod for civilization 4), so I am quite confused atm...

Here is an example of a character sheet I want to include in my mod, but which uses art from Icewind Dale II:



The idea is to replace the current character menu with a new menu. The player will not be able to "buy" skill points anymore, but they must be earned from now on...

Somebody know if using the artwork is legitimate?

 

[BadabombadaBang]

I played Icewind Dale before and its pretty fun  Oh and I would like to see that kind of menu 

 

[stoned-dude]

looking good as always! (he is indeed fearsome to behold!)

 

[doop dude]

hey

where can we download this?

thanks

rock on

doopy

 

[rmancrusader]

Hey, maybe you should check and update the front page, I'm pretty sure its outdated.

 

[Elenmmare]

I think he's still waiting for an answer.

I'm not sure about the legality, but one way to make it a bit more custom is to maybe tweak the colours/contrasts so that it doesn't look like a 100% copy.

 

[kosmik]

Yeah just but it in negative K that was a joke

But the idea is great

New armor:



An old screenshot, which has some outdated progress:



Seriously, though, how do I make unique menus (different textures used when in a certain menu)?

 

[Keeper]

Updating front page...

 

[Elenmmare]

Ok- here's what you do. Use an editing program (I recommend Gimp), and DDS Converter 2 (google it). Convert the file in your textures folder called Bg2.dds to a jpeg. Then edit the jpeg (drag over the image you want) and convert it back to a .dds. put it in your mods texture folder and you're good to go.

If you're talking about a unique one for each different menu, I don't know, sorry.

 

[Keeper]

If you're talking about a unique one for each different menu, I don't know, sorry.

Yep...

Since it will take ages till the real beta is finished, I am thinking of making a separate mod that has 3 quick battles with the new troops I have added (about 15-20) so that the beta-testers can comment the new scenes I have made and the new items. The game is also highly unbalanced atm, so I would need someone to help set things right.

Bascavia, where the hell are you btw?

 

[kosmik]

like warhammer40k did?

 

[Keeper]

Yeah. It will be like:

1 siege,

1 skirmish &

1 epic battle where there is only a few elite troops left against a horde of barbarians.

It will be worth your while to download it, I assure. I only expect feedback in return.

 

[kosmik]

Also are you going to use those character cheats in the mod?

 

[Keeper]

Character cheats?

 

[kosmik]

Sorry i meant sheets

 

[Keeper]

I am going to play it safe and not add them (yet atleast). I ought to make them myself, not ripping them from Icewind Dale.
