  1. I've recently began to use a different body mod for Skyrim on my female character, (UNP Blessed Body) but I can't work with the god awful face textures given, even with the best complexion I have crazy wrinkles, so I've been using a different mod for the face. Of course I already knew there'd be a neck seam mixing different mods of this style, but is there any way to actually blend the meshes and remove the seam?

  2. Okay, so here's my predicament. People all over do all this quest scripting and act as if it's nothing but I have not even the most basic insight on how to begin scripting. I'm currently downloading like a 100-200 page PDF file on understanding papyrus and how to script, but for the time being I'd like to know how to script the function, so when you open a book a quest starts. I have no clue how to script and have very little experience making quests, I'm more advanced at creating worldspaces. If anyone could please explain to me how to create and script a quest that begins when you read a book I'd be grateful. Preferably easy to understand step-by-step instructions, because I have no clue what I'm doing.

    If it helps, this is what I want to happen in the quest.

    1. Steal, and read book, beginning quest.

    2. NPC Approaches you and has custom dialogue.

    3. Further investigate the contents of the book.

    4. Explore a cave mentioned in the book.

    5. Quest ends with you being transported to my custom worldspace after activating a statue.

  4. I recommend not pulling the whole 'contact me on Skype, I'm not sharing the story with you' thing. I understand you perhaps might not want someone to steal your idea, but as lofgren put so well:

     

    There is a large quantity of ideas and creativity in this community. It's VERY unlikely someone will steal your idea. They have plenty of their own. :wink:

     

    Now, this is why it's a bad idea to do this:

     

    - Some people don't like Skype. Some people just don't care to go through the extra effort of contacting you there when they'd prefer to just post in this thread or PM you here. It's much easier for them. Thus, the Skype thing makes you and joining the team less accessible, and thus you're less likely to get team members.

     

    - If people don't know your idea, they don't have the slightest idea if they'd be interested in it.

     

    Now, you say that the actors and worldspace are still WIP. But you've shown nothing that they've been worked on - and while I don't necessarily think that you are just going to have somebody do all the work for you to create what you have (just ideas), since you don't seem that way, people in this community see that all the time.

     

    Show that you'll be doing some actual work, and if you've done stuff, show it off. People may be more likely to actually join you.

     

    EDIT: Also, on reading a book triggering a quest, that's called scripting.

     

    There aren't a whole lot of scripters out there currently, so while you may find one, I recommend you try to figure out the basics at least. Here's a tutorial:

     

    http://www.creationkit.com/Bethesda_Tutorial_Papyrus_Hello_World

    And that particular script would look like this:

     

    Scriptname SetStageOnBookRead Extends ObjectReference
    
    Quest Property QuestToSetStageOn Auto
    
    Event OnRead()
    
         QuestToSetStageOn.SetStage(insertStageNumberHere)
    
    EndEvent
    
    Once you've read that tutorial, you should understand how to hook up the quest property. If you've designed the quest you should know the number to put in those parentheses. And when you get around to using that script, you should replace the Scriptname with the one you actually put in using [New Script], and know how to put it on the book in the first place.

     

    It would extend ReferenceAlias if you had it on a quest alias, which you can learn about in this set of tutorials on quest design:

    Thank you for the insight. :laugh: I'm going to edit the post then to add information and I'll show off some screenshots of the stuff already done.

  5. This may seem like a beginner question but-I'm relatively new to modding outside of the creation kit. I've been using it for years now and find it very limited even with the broad amount of things you can add to the game. Now recently I've began to create a storyline mod and I've created a custom model in ZBrush with textures and everything, the character looks just the way I want it. The only problem is, I don't know how to get him into the game. I need to know how to apply current Bethesda animations to my character, and I'd like to know how to import my character into the game after I've given him animations. I know in the creation kit you can choose animations, so I'd like to know how to apply them to a 3D model I've made. I'm willing to download programs and I'm open to Skyping with people.
