NWN graphics. Where? Xen?

I'm trying to find the little .bmp or .jpg or whatever graphic extension Bioware used to use in the NWN pages I'm putting together for RPGDot. But I can find nothing in the NWN folders on my hard-drive.

Can anyone help me here?

Are you talking about the in game graphics or the in game movie stills or the portraits?

THe graphics are texture maps for the engine. They wouldn't do you any good without the 3d framework they get mapped to.

The movies are stored in the movie folder and some third party software players can open them.

The portraits are probably nestled somewhere in one of the main compressed data files that the game reads. I'd have to check on that one...

I think you answered my question.

I was hoping to use npc portraits and pix of items to accent the pages I'm doing for nwn.rpgdot.com. But I guess the only way I'll be able to do it is to use screenshots...which I'm lousy at.

Thanks though. If you have any suggestions, I'm all ears.

Tsk, tsk, tried fileplanet yet?

Look here.

The Neverwinter Nights NPC Portrait Pack includes all 13 non-selectable NPC portraits in Neverwinter Nights including Aribeth, Desther, etc.

Well, that saves me from having to hack the game data files to look for an answer.

hey Brandi.. heres everything you need- ='.'=
http://nwn.bioware.com/downloads/fansitekit.html its the "official fansite kit". I downloaded it at work, it gives you scads of stuff, animated buttons, logos, concept art, and everything. Its an .exe file, it makes a folder off your c drive and loads it up with everything NWN. Some awesome Aribeth pics

Awww, and I thought Xen was the Maester.

Thanks Samhain & Val!

A good arch-villain knows when to let his minions do his work... he just finds a way to take credit for it...

Hmm...

Um...

Er...

Somehow...

@Val: The link you provided had .tga files. I cannot seem to find a program to open them. Help?

[EDIT]

Typed too fast... they are Photoshop files, I think. Which means reinstalling a program I use 4 times a year and then changing each file to a usable web format like jpeg or gif. UHG!

Myrthos, if you are reading, I Don't Think So!

I think ACDSee should be able to open this files and to convert them to something like .jpg or .gif.

ACDSee? Gimp?

Did I mention that I was graphically-challenged? I even had to ask Myrthos to get my avatar set up properly.

I loathe Gimp.

I'll do the conversions to JPG for you. No problem.
