Ryuujins Fluffy Purple Dragon

Inspired by Japanese platform games, this latest model carries on the line of Sickeningly Cute Creatures by Ryuujin (tm). Guaranteed to melt the hearts of even the most bottled up veteran, break the will of even the toughest barbarian, and get turned into a thin purple mush by the first demon it meets. New in Version 2: You can now use this creature as your animal companion or familiar! Yay! Both Hakpack and override files included. INTRODUCTION Okay, how do I introduce this guy... Well, he\'s small, pinky purple and painfully cute, he\'s also the latest rendition of an Avatar I\'ve used for ages in various forms. \'He\', began life as a \'she\' ages back in Mechwarrior 4, when I was painting the unit decals; You often see big vehicles with paintings on them, such as semi-clad young ladies, since my user name was \"Ryuujin\" (\"Dragon God\" roughly translated in Japanese) I thought it\'d be funny to paint a pink female dragon on the side of my mech. Anyway I liked the bemused reaction from people so I updated to a similar avatar to this model here and used that for a time in BBS and the like. So how did it get into NWN? Well all my models to date get called \'Cute\' or \'Kawaii\' - even my Kuo-Toa was \'Too smiley\', so in a moment of insanity and a bit of joking around at CODI I decided \"You think THOSE model\'s are cute? - I\'ll show you cute!\' and with that, this model was born. Pink fluffy, cute, and distinctly out of place in NWN. INSTALLATION Hakpack, Override? If you\'re making your own module, you\'ll want to use the standard hakpack. If you want to use the models in single player I\'d advise you use the Override. Both versions are included in the zip. If you are using the override, remember the one key rule: It\'s all in the eye of the beholder - simply because you can see it, doesn\'t mean anyone else will. You may even crash the server if you log in elsewhere with this set as your familiar. Installing the standard Hakpack Step 1: Copy \"minidragon.hak\" into the \"... NeverwinterNights/Hak/\" folder (Basiclly the folder called \"Hak\" inside your NWN directory.). Step 2: Load the module you want to add the hak to into the toolset. Click \"Module Properties\" from the menu, and click the Custom Content tab. Step 3: Click the dropdown box, and find either \"BendyLegs\" click the corresponding hak, and choose \"add\". Click the hak in the list if there are multiple haks, and move it to the top of the list. Step 4: Now Druids, Rangers, Sorcerors and Wizards may choose this critter under \"Faerie Dragon\" in the familiar/pet selection at level up/character creation. Note there are two Faerie Dragon entries, the Fluffy Dragon variant is the bottom on, it should be quite obvious which is the new one. Installing the Override Step 1: Extract everything from the \"Override\" folder in the zip to \"... NeverwinterNight/Override/\" (Your NWN override folder). And volia. Installation complete, you\'ll now be able to select the Fluffy Dragon as your Familiar or Companion (or both!) and be able to use it nearly every module you play. FAQ Q: My Dragon isn\'t showing up on a certain module, I\'m using the override!. A: Modules that have additional creatures in their hakpack will probably override it... nothing much I can do there, sorry, unless you fancy editting the modules hak yourself. Q: My Dragon won\'t show up, I got it on a module where the hakpack was installed, but I\'ve moved on now. A: The module you\'re playing must have the hakpack installed. Unless You are using the override version. Bare in mind the override is only suitable for single player CONTACT Complaints? Suggestions? Praise?
