LadyHonor Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Is there a forum dedicated to modding tutorials? I looked around but since I'm browsing on my cell phone my searching around is limited. If there is such a forum could someone please post a link? I really would love to browse around and see if there are any that could help me with my mod. Plus I have a few scripts that some might find helpful. Thanks in advance and if this is the wrong forum to post this topic I am very sorry. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgoy Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Are you looking for discussion on creating tutorials (in game, I'm guessing) or for tutorials on various topics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyHonor Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Actual tutorials. Although I have most things working now in my mod, there are still a few things kicking my butt. I still havent gotten my camp working entirely right yet for example and there are a few quest related questions I have. Most of my searches results in links to video tutorials which would be great if I could view them. But I dont have internet. Soooo....a cellection of some step by step tutorials would be nice.

mcgoy Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 For Camp, I usedhttp://social.bioware.com/wiki/datoolset/index.php/Compatible_Companion_Mod_Creation and information from someone I asked Quest, I can't help you, because I probably don't know. There is a bunch of information on the toolset wiki, but you would need to narrow it down. Or ask. For reasons unknown, the simplest things took me forEVER while I breezed through the 'hard stuff'.

LadyHonor Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 When i first started this I knew very little about scripting. I'm about to give away my age here but....lol....I went to college in the 80s. I majored in business admin. There was only one pc class that I had to take and the only actual program I had to write was a simple checkbook registry that balanced your account. MSDOS was the big thing back then and basic was the greatest programming language around. Soooo...its been a lot of trial and error but Ive come a long way and have learned a lot. My early scripting was very sloppy and I had lots of different scripts to do basically the same thing, ie approval. I had 23 different simple approval scripts that I would just attach to various dialogue lines. So there were a LOT of scripts just to change a follower's simple approval. I've since then gotten way btter at scripting and setting plots and a better understanding of headers and functions. Now instead of 23 scripts per follower I got it down to 2. One plot script and one header. I cant stand clutter..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyHonor Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Anyway quests are another issue. I have no problem making a quests to go kill a ton of monsters or villians but I'm having an issue with collecting items. I've got a quest where the cook send you to the basement to fetch 10 dark mushrooms and a dozen eggs. I'm having a difficulty tho setting it count those items and update the journal when you've found them all. I can find in the wiki a quest page but it mainly covers only what you CAN do with plots/quests but not actually HOW to do them. It gets frustrating. I'll figure it out eventually but it sure would be nice every now and then not to have spend days doing it. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgoy Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 My first programming class used punch cards - 'nuff said? :woot: http://social.bioware.com/wiki/datoolset/index.php/User:Sunjammer/Plot_flags_%28draft%29 might answer your questions. i don't think it is possible to do what you want to do exactly the way that you want to do it. But there is always an alternative. :geek: Send me a pm, we'll discuss the it. I think you'll need to create a counter and.... anyway - there is always a way :teehee: And I got to use some of the stranger emoticons because they are fun! :dance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyHonor Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 Your "first" programming class is still better than my "only" programming class that wasn't even a programming class. It was called "introduction to micro computers" which was a fancy name for course that mainly just taught you how to turn on on. Lol We only did the checkbook registry as an assignment to introduce us to a very basic intro to programming. It think we may have spent a total of 3 days at the most on it. Anyway.....those links aren't working for me although I was able to figure out enough from the words in the link to find it thru a google search. I would really love the camp one tho. If you know the name of the post I might can get it thru a google search. As for the item counter thing I've figured out that much already. I just dont know how to do it. Lol I looked at the original campaign for the mage collective's quest where you have to collect ten of them but I've having a difficult time figuring it out.

mcgoy Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 :laugh: I only had two programming classes; my major was not even vaguely related to computers. Graduated from college and THEN found out that I was a programmer. Only took me about a year to figure out - took my employer about 5 years. :laugh: But my job path took a different route at work so I haven't programmed there in about 10 years. The '10 of them' isn't going to help. You have 10 different plot items (from what I understand) and the '10 toxin extracts' quest is just a matter of checking to see if there are 10 toxin extracts in the inventory. I think what you are trying to do is more similar to the letters - you have to collect 10 letters each a plot item before you can collect the reward. I'll make it the last thing in the message, maybe that will help. You really really need to know where the toolset wiki is and what is there. There are three tutorials (that I know of) that are specific to Companions that you can find from this link. (just in looking to see what tutorials are available, I bookmarked 2 more links for my own use!)http://social.bioware.com/wiki/datoolset/index.php/Main_Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
