twowolves80 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) Here's another idea for a mod:I have permission from Daniel Waples, a hang drum musician, to use his music in a mod for the Khajit. The song in particular is called Hang In Balance part 1 & 2, found here and here, and would be perfect for the Khajit found when traveling across Tamriel. The way I view the mod, it would be an animation to have a Khajit sitting in or near the tents they use, playing this music on a hang drum in the background, perhaps accompanied by a tambourine. Not too loud. The style of music just seems to fit them, though, and there could be other songs, too, that the player could request. They could talk about how the drum is a part of their culture, etc, and kind of expand on the lore, too. So far, SalZone said he's on board, and I'm willing to try to help as much as I can, though I really don't know much about modding, but I did manage to secure permission to use this music. Let's not let it go to waste! This would be a really cool mod. And as agreed, Mr. Waples, here is the link to the homepage.

SalZone Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Going to start messing around with animations to see how viable it is. Good luck getting people on board Wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twowolves80 Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 There's already a model for a sitting Khajit, so really, it's just the arms and the upper torso that need to move a little...let's hope people see the value of the music in terms of immersion, though. I could totally see getting the Elsweyr mod and traveling across the desert wastes with this type of music in the background... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boombro Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Why not use the base game marker for playing drums? Less work and can be done in 30 min instead of waiting for some to make animation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twowolves80 Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 I would, but I have no idea what a base game marker is...lol I'm more the logistics guy...but that seems like it would save some work. The hang drum is played sitting down, though. Plus, here's another idea to build on that. There could be a story line where some human bards are trying to acquire a hang drum from the Khajit and learn to play it. The bardic college for instance.
