Would you like to see new treasure chests? (New Pic of one)

Ziroc · 02-02-2005, 05:33 PM

I am sick of the same old treasure chests, and crates! Damn, I just made a fully animated treasure chest in 10 mins! And it looks so cool!

What do you all think? I'd love a load of replies to get your opinions!! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'm all for a bit of variety.

Just hope the new style chests will be filled with plenty of new goodies. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thats got to be one of the best ideas ive heard for NWN in some time id think.

T-D-C · 02-02-2005, 07:22 PM

Hey that would be cool.

Get some glowing treasure chests going with some cool opening animations.

How about designing some statues that are containers that open up.

Or a chest that is sunk into the ground that opens up at floor level.

excellent idea and true well overdue [img]smile.gif[/img] U seem to have a handle on the chest so add away

Another yes vote here. I would enjoy the variety.

(Hopefully some of them will be destructable so my dwarf can try out his new waraxe [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] )

I used to think it was cool when BG and BG2 had stuff hidden in walls or floors, but I don't think NWN can do that, can it?

New chests, sound cool!

You may need to create a whole new wall or floor tile and then mesh it into your existing wall & floor tiels but I'm sure you could do it.

Oh I think there's a way to add one. Maybe make a hill, a very small one, like a rock, and when you click on it, a notch slides over or opens, and there is your hidden treasure chest. [img]smile.gif[/img] That sounds cool!

For the wall, I could create a dupe wall of a tileset, and make the wall a placeable, and work from there. NICE ideas! I will work on that.

You could make an invisible "chest" in the floor with a clickable trigger (perhaps like a hidden door requiring the PC to find it) and a nearby invisible object with an inventory.

For the wall, though, you would need custom content due to engine limitations.
