This builder resource introduces a technique for applying a visual effect to a door in order to transform it into a different-looking door. This release includes a set of door textures that were extracted from the NWN game, then converted into special effect files for use in NWN2. The tutorial shows a method that can be used to build more .sef visual effect files.

The following .sef files are included in the .hak file: fx_stdr5_nwn_metal1, fx_stdr5_nwn_metal2, fx_stdr5_nwn_metal3, fx_stdr5_nwn_reinforced1, fx_stdr5_nwn_wood1, fx_stdr5_nwn_wood2, fx_stdr5_nwn_wood3, fx_stdr1_rough_gold, and fx_stdr5_nwn_ice1. The 'stdr5' component of the file name indicates the effect is applied to Standard Interior door #5.

To include the door skin visual effects in your module:

• Copy the door_covers.hak file into your local hak folder
• Add the hak file name to your module's Hak Packs property
• Insert a door of the appropriate type into an area and set its 'vfx_file' local string variable to the name of a .sef file from 'door_covers.hak'
• Add the 'ApplyVisualEffectToDoors()' routine from the tutorial into the Area's On Client Enter script
  

If all is set up properly, the door skin should show up once you run the
module.

Enjoy!
