Pains Monster Pack

The is a compilation of NWN2 monsters for the new AutoDownloader feature, with all creatures in Hak format without 2da files which are provided separately. It's goal is to provide compatibility between projects, fix technical issues and some editorial review, and also to encourage multiple parties using the same haks to encourage players not having to download as much. Please Vote for the original projects on their various pages and check with those authors for usage permissions. They did all the work, I am just grouping it together to provide convenience. As far as I know this includes all vault content related to appearance.2da except for the kuo toa which Hellfire is working on fixing to have full animations ( in his next release. )

It is also designed so you can use the appearance.2da (1146) provided and nothing else, or just the haks which relate to your module, which should make what you do more compatible with other peoples haks. They are in separate downloads to make it so you can choose which portions you use, if you are already using always summer for example you probably won't use the appearance.hak.

The inspiration for this came about because as a scripter, I have found that creatures happen to use multiple rows, multiple constants, which makes it very hard to make code that knows about custom creatures and the creature constants provided officially refer to numerous nonexistant creatures. I hope this is helpful for whoever implements the master of many forms or other projects.

Mostly updated except for blueprints and checking all the documentation and credits.

This release includes:

1. Many of the monsters from the vault combined into a single entry.
2. Complete Packages for each individual Major Studio ( Bouncy Rock, Races of Faerun, Purgatorio, SBRage, Creature Companion Pack, NWN1 style Familiars, Monster Conversions of DLA and NWN1 creatures, Robinson Workshop ) ( ROF is the partial to conserve file size )
3. Optional Supporting Gear and Appearance Packs for gear held by some creatures, this is mainly for those who don't have these already. ( Trident's as weapons because the merpeople need them, pitchforks for the devils, more revealing outfits for the devils, etc. ) Includes portions of
4. Entirely reworked to minimize file size. This is not complete versions of all the packages, about half of ROF was omitted, and only that which is needed by creatures is in the appearance pack. Attempt to get a breadth of options within the given download size. Some additions of tint maps or minor tweaks.
5. Comes with a integration to my Script library and a custom appearance.2da. Creatures have a custom set of constants which do not have incorrect entries and fluff from NWN1. This includes functions to get a creatures height, to flip a creatures sex ( based on 2drunk's work ), to iterate creatures ( Next Appearance, Previous appearance for DM's ) and to get an appearance name without a 2da Lookup. I've also included many other adjustments, the 1st person camera view, as well as adjusted the size of the selection circle. Added "Hidden_" to creatures which are technically needed but which are of custom use, and "del_" preceding any invalid or missing creatures.
6. Integrates with the work to be released for animation modes, such as swimming, flying, horses and the like.
7. This supports the UI Tools being worked on for the DMFI and fixing the DM client, with rows which don't work well with DM appearance changes being marked as hidden, and that projects UI for listing available creatures. You can see this project here.

It is outside the scope of this project to do blueprints, scripts, spells and feats entries for creatures, but rather it's aim is to reduce conflicts and get the models perfected. However i am including my current "mess" of blueprints which are from the following sources ( Monster Manual by Wild Bill, Hellfire Skeletons by K2, Krondorl's D&D Monsters Compilation, etc adjusted to use the models provided. )

If you want, here is information on how to Blueprints for Creatures.pdf (3) do your own blueprints, based on these models/base files, and do your own vault entries or include them with mine.
