Basically, you are creating areas without encounters. You can put special effects and placeables in them, though.

Patch Notes Preview for NWN2 Update 1.12 (Incomplete) http://nwn2forums.bioware.com/forums/viewp...=109&highlight=Risponde RMcGSoon.
There's a couple last issues we are hammering out.
7MarzoRob McGinnis - Obsidian Entertainment -NWN2 Area Design Contest http://nwn2forums.bioware.com/forums/viewp...=109&highlight=Risponde RMcGYes, as long as it is posted up on the vault by the time the contest ends, and made available for all.
CC contest Results? http://nwn2forums.bioware.com/forums/viewp...=115&highlight=Risponde RMcGThere was no easy way to bring this contest to a close.
I would love to give something to everyone that entered, just for entering. But then, people would complain that they were not being awarded for their "superior" work, or that it's unfair that others that *might* have plagiarized others' work got the same prize as someone that didn't.
If we awarded some, we would probably have a situation where someone would claim that, because we did not award them a prize, a shadow of doubt would be cast over them.
Believe me, it was not an easy decision to make. It caused many headaches

Does a special effect created with the VFX editor count as custom content that needs to be uploaded to the vault first? I have a waterfall VFX that is pretty specific to the area I'm working on and it doesn't seem to be of much general use.
Yep, it should be uploaded. Part of the goal of these contests is to make more assets available to the NWN2 community.
problem with a DM http://nwn2forums.bioware.com/forums/viewp...=109&highlight=Risponde RMcGinnisIn future, requests like this might be better in the MP/PW forum... But glad you were able to get the help you needed.
NWN2 Area Design Contest http://nwn2forums.bioware.com/forums/viewp...=109&highlight=Risponde RMcGinnisIn the waterfall example, you are essentially using a visual effect that was made by one community member and made available to the rest of the community. If that effect is already on NWVault, you do not need to submit your own version of it

Rob - you mentioned entering up to 3 areas -
* do these 3 areas have to be related?
* or are you saying that each person can have 3 map entries in the contest but all 3 may be entered in a single module?
Can we put all of our custom content into a single hak and then release that hak on the vault?
Related how? They do not have to be connected, but it is easier if you submit them as a single module. You can, of course, submit them separately.
You can put all of your custom content into a single hak. Just make sure that hak is available in the hak downloads.
