ivyislost Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I say that cause I have decided, to make a mod, that well is a lot to chew on. I will throw out my idea and accept any tips and suggestions and maybe help when I have a set plan. (well as set as it can get...) I Love the set up of underpall, and want to use it or a cave module like it as the base, for a massive mod. It's to be both a quest and play home inside an alternate world. The idea is the what would have happened if a hero hadn't arisen and stopped the oblivion invasion. Plus I want to create a unique world, that has its own separate lore. The only overlapping lore will be where the portal created by the goddess of their world is opened into our world. I want to have 3 unique playable races, and I am going to have one or two companions, one being the very goddess (unknown to our hero though since the companion is to be a child with the goddess sealed. At the end you will get the goddess normal form and still semi sealed so you don't have an uber character.) Needless to say this is a massive undertaking, and I am likely over ambitious :biggrin: but I am going to do it if it kills me. (likely will nerves and patience wise ) Basically their world is to be over run with the creatures of oblivion, their own native creatures and on top of it all an evil main character that has taken control over the realm. Your character will i hope receive the quests from the goddess in dream, or vision like the night of the nine, the misty world. With her in her full glory, speaking to you. One of the races I have decided on is this One here. Except no fin on the top just an extension of her tentacles from front to the back, honestly, like i said a lot to chew. :blink: But I want it to be worth playing and meet my creative demands. Likely I will start on the cave and then add the portal to the player house which i plan to use a house i found cause it fits the way the realm is to be since the goddess is the goddess of nature and life, its to be more of a nature based mod with the option afterwards of claiming the evil guys throne for the evil characters. Id love to make it where you can be both. the good and the bad, chose the fate of another world be its savior or its tyrant. ^^ I am having atm to learn oblivion modding since it is nothing like neverwinter nights modding. So, this will be a learning trail and error in the beginning for me. Without any help that is from others lol and now back to my guide reading XP and also need a outfit for the goddess, that can be for all female characters, this is the idea and what id like it to look like ^^ (kinda want to make her character look similar to this one too >.O learning learning lol) The goddess reference both clothes and character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Brasher Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 You are very ambitious. Have you already tried making some smaller mods? It sounds like you have a lot of Neverwinter Nights experience though. I suggest that you make your huge mod in small pieces. Make the small pieces so that they are fairly complete in and of themselves. That way you can play them, share them, and enjoy them even if they are part of a larger work. It is good for morale to have even a small thing complete and in top form. If you build a giant world that is all only partly complete, it could be really discouraging and make you feel like you will never finish. I suggest you make your NPC's interesting. Every NPC ought to have a function. NPC's as scenery is sort of lame. Good NPC's are one or more of the following: (1) people you must fight (2) people you must rob (3) people you must persuade (4) people to do business with (5) people to rescue (6) people who give you quests or are part of them (7) people who are interesting to talk to. This is a great forum. If you get stuck, you can post here, and some very knowledgeable people will likely help you out. Good luck on your project!

ivyislost Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 Yep, thats the plan, I am going to start off creating the replica underpall cave ^^ with a portal as a temp player home ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivyislost Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Well I offically have gotten started, I have already modded the entrance to the cave which is a duplication of underpall and copied all sections of the cave and renamed them and have started the revamping to fit my needs, I still haven't found a portal to use to the other world, which I had started first and decided I better make the slow modding in parts like suggested. So I only have the cave first part linked to the outside, near the stables of....eh, ill tell you later >.> giving away the location later when i am further along. If you'd like me to post more information if you ask i will atm im headed back to the modding, so far ive tested the outside of the cave mod and lets just say that my guardian killed me XDwell i am testing it with a lvl 3 character, to look around lol she died, only after the guard killed the horse and the animals in the area XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivyislost Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Hum, lol well now, may decided to only use the first part of the cave due to linking door issues Xp Ive either been on the wrong side of doors or stuck inside them >.< making for a damn annoying time, so i think ill hold off on the entire cave and just have the fort door link to the new world till I have someone who either wants to help link doors or help in general with this project its a little more to chew then i like but, so far im not discouraged, just having brainstorming on alternatives for the whole entrance, atm i am using a tree but its invisible, and turns when you get away from it which isnt what i want soo now im searching for better tree, home like resources. ^^ and i got the guard to not attack me but she still attacks and kills all animals and mounts you have XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivyislost Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 Well this has been uber delayed due to raising a three year old now, and well also the fact that a mod i installed made my game stupid. (totally my own blunder though) and so i lost the file i had been working on, not that its to much lost, just the outside and the cave, which also wasn't to bad since the damn doors opened up in the wrong way and you fell through the world XD so yeah, plus i have a new idea so it worked out that i failed epically on this first shot, so now to release a custom race, and then afterwards a home, etc till i can merge it all together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
