Taluntain if you have managed to control Feirhanith I would like to know if my begging has worked?

If you guys read the FAQ you'd know why you don't the custome avatars. You have only been on the baords a few days, why should you have custome avatars? If you qualified for any of the reasons in the FAQ you wounldn't need to beg. Let time take it's course. Don't rush into things while others have waited.

 

OK.
So we are not likely to be seeing Rideable horses.

How about a change of 'tack' then.

Animals can be scripted to talk, but what about Packhorses. Could players leave Pack animals outside the combat area and return to them to load up the ill gotten/heroically won gains/corpses? If so, It's a short step from a horse-drawn cart full of Ex-Dragon's hoard to a cart with a PC in it.

Ok so im sorry there was still no need for BTA to go off his head at me. I just wanted to fit in.

 

Linael, I know they will have horses as 'background' as in the cart you spoke about. As said about the big issue is not the scripting but all the additional avatars that would be needed to reflect PCs on horse back. I think it's more of a time issue than anything else.

 

Chariots, Voltric.
One can stand up in a chariot, using the "Standing" avatar.

Please excuse my pedantry. I understand you really.

Doesnt really help much cos you still need the 'holding the reins with the other hand' avatar and the 'you cant see my knees cos they are obscured by the side of the chariot' avatar.

 

The "Obscured legs" part would be handled in the graphics code as it would be for anything obscuring a character (monsters/other PC's/scenery) and the "holding reins" issue could be dealt with by having a charioteer image permanently fixed to the chariot. Just subbing the control of the chariot to the PC.
Does'nt sound very professional though.
I promise to try scripting it 'when it's ready'
He he he.

I await to be impressed. If you pull it off there's probably a job for you at Bioware.
Don't forget, combining icons into a moving object is very different from walking behind something. And you gotta animate the horses legs realisticly and make those wheels spin....

 

So it's hard.
The guys who wrote "Quake Rally" & the "Gianna sisters" mods for quake managed some pretty amazing stuff there.
NWN is going to be expandable / modifiable based on just how profoundly we are allowed to delve into the code. If the source is locked, then all bets are cancelled.

PS: please don't mistake me for a programmer, I am just enthusiastic.
