Neverwinter Nights 2 mods

The Black Scourge of Candle Cove - adventure module

21 Jul 2014

A notorious sea hag pirate has been terrorising the port town of Candle Cove with her crew of ogres, plundering ships and sending men, women, and children to a watery grave. Now she's gone even further, and seized control of the local lighthouse, preventing any ships from coming or going at all!

You and your party of adventurers have just come into town. Can you do what it takes to defeat the pirates and free Candle Cove?

Available both on the Neverwinter Nexus and the Neverwintervault.org.  176mB

Tchos' HD Widescreen UI Menu and Loading Screen

9 Mar 2012

The menus and loading screens for NWN2 were designed for a 4:3 monitor aspect ratio, and on a modern widescreen display will appear either stretched out horizontally or have black bars on the sides.  This is a 1920x1080 set of menus and loading screens based on the pre-expansion versions.  Available both on the Neverwinter Nexus and the Neverwinter Vault.  1.5mB

Tchos' UI button sound replacement

10 Mar 2012

A replacement sound for the "click" of most buttons in NWN2.  I just didn't like the sound of the button click, and wanted something a little more weighty and solid, that also wasn't too loud, which would fit the elegant style of the interface.

Available both on the Neverwinter Nexus and the Neverwinter Vault.  1.5mB

Guide for the Storm of Zehir loot system

12 April 2013

Not exactly a mod, but a modders' resource in the form of documentation on how the SoZ loot system works, what it can do, and how to use it in your own modules.

Available in Word and PDF format, on the Neverwinter Nexus and the Neverwinter Vault.  40/70kB

Tchos' Visual Effects for Characters

16 Dec 2012

This small pack for modders adds two visual effects to be applied to NPCs or PCs to indicate music and sleeping. The first one applies an effect of floating musical notes over the NPC's head, and the other does the same with floating Zs.  Available both on the Neverwinter Nexus and the Neverwinter Vault.  4.8kB

Tchos' default Crypt Tileset edit with no jagged cobwebs

 24 Feb 2013

This is intended for use both by players and by modders. As a player, you can simply use it to get rid of the jagged, ugly cobwebs built into the default crypt tileset in any module you're playing, including the official campaigns. As a builder, you can distribute it within your module to make sure your module doesn't have those cobwebs, freeing you to decorate the place with higher quality cobweb placeables or placed effects.  Available on the Neverwinter Nexus.  1.6mB

Colour Spell Scroll Icons

 29 Jul 2013

Neverwinter Nights 2's spell icons are in colour, but the scrolls of those spells are monochromatic, making it more difficult to tell them apart. This is a simple fix that replaces the scroll icons with the spellbook icons for the same spells, so that they're in colour.  Available on the Neverwinter Nexus.  1.7mB

Dragon Age: Origins mods

Trouble in Rainesfere

7 August 2011

A standalone campaign module for Dragon Age: Origins.  Roaming through rural Rainesfere, you happen upon a small tavern, where you receive word of a wizard in distress, and four fellow adventurers willing to help.

Lavish Mage Tower of Alchemy Power

28 October 2008

An opulent home for the discerning mage alchemist. I believe something lacking in the standard Mages' Guild décor is a feeling of real power, a sense that you're doing something dangerous, as well as the wealth that should come to a person skilled in magic and alchemy. 16371kB I highlighted this mod in this blog post.

Planescape: Torment mods

Tchos' portrait mod for Planescape: Torment

8 April 2011

Replaces the 3D character portraits in the game with high-quality hand-painted portraits, as other Infinity Engine games such as Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale used, which are more aesthetically pleasing than the 3D character portraits in PS:T. These replacements occur where they appear in the PC/NPC section of the journal, in the stat screens, and the inventory paperdolls.
