Need help with modding a new shout.

[Kurzusseus]

So I was playing Skyrim and got intrigued all over again about shouts and how they function.

I went into the creation kit hoping to figure out how to make my own but I ran into a few

questions I would like to help with.

 

1.

How do I make specific words appears in the language of the Dovah?

In a shout you will see the shout in dragon tongue, then translated right

below. When I open the creation kit I see they are connected by means

of WordFus for fus, but making a new one, does not allow me to attach a texture

to it, has anyone dabbled with this before?

 

2.

To what extent can I actually make new shouts? What limit and I held too

using the creation kit? I've heard how in regards to making new shouts

the ck is under developed in there area and not able to make new shouts

without some hard coding program.

 

Any other advise would also be helpful. I'd like to add more shouts

where possible including unlocking some shouts that were fake or only

used by npc's. I know some mods already do this, but also they add a

ton more un-immersive shouts, or they do it slightly incorrectly.

 

In my opinion though....I'd like to try and make shouts the way I have

studied them, and know them for from my learning's of both the way

of the voice, and the powerful dominate creatures of the sky.

Anyone? I'd like to make my own shouts but as far as tutorials in making new shouts

from scratch, I can't find any.

All shouts are just spells. You'll see that each one (under Magic>Shouts) has three words with dropdowns to choose a spell, which is just a regular spell with regular magic effects. Just look at the default ones.

 

As far as I know they're just like any other spell, except with 3 words (which I believe use message forms for names?). I might do a tutorial about this on my site in a bit, if you're interested.

If you look at the Word of Power form, the "Name" field determines which draconic letters appear in the shout description. You can look at other words to figure out which letters are which and determine which ones you want to appear in your shout.

 

I don't believe that adding new shouts requires anything hardcoded, but in order to make the player say the words out loud you will need to edit a quest, which will cause your mod to conflict with any other mods that add shouts. To add an unvoiced shout, you just create the spell as a Voice Power and add it to your shout form.

 

When I created new shouts, as a workaround I added the sounds of the words as a sound effect and told a script attached to my magic effects to play the sound effect when the player uses that spell. It works OK.

Just spoke to Alexander J Velicky about this and he said he'd write up a tutorial sometime tomorrow.

Ah could you send me a link of the tutorial when its done, or you do one? (if you see this response) took me awhile to get back on-board these few days.

I would like to add custom shouts but as I said, mostly I'm having trouble getting the game to recognize the words, like I wanted to add "Vo" Translated to "Undo"

Now getting the words undo to appear is easy, however getting the dragon scratching above for the word in Dovahzul is not.

is it possible to make my own shout with my custom shout sound? Like replacing the howl with my sound but without actually replacing the werewolfs howl.. Edited July 9, 2018 by CyberWolf69
