theguyyoudontknow Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 i got a good idea that woudl be fun, but i have no idea at all of how to mod, so il put my idea here and hopefully someone will try it. it would be cool to make a mod that creates IceWind Dale :D like a flat tundra place, with the ten towns around 3 lakes, with dwarven mines and dwarf ncp's in it, and marauding barbarians and tundra yeti's. and maybe, if this does acually happen, after that, maybe make the underdark, with different "things" in it, including mezoberranzan and blingdenstone :D. but for now, at least icewind dale. hope someone considers this...

stars2heaven Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 There is already a very expansive mod out that would count as the underdark and its constantly being updated. http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=23153 What you described for Icewind dale would be something, though large and time consuming, a relatively easy task for a beginner. It would mostly deal with placing houses and npcs in some northern area, a few quests here and there, and some things to fight. There are a number of vanilla npcs that couldl pass for a yeti....though Ive seen a number of custom creatures that would be excellent for that role. All it would take is permission to use them. All in all, sounds quite simple except for the size. But one could make it in peaces, as lliana is making Elswyr in peaces. Perhaps, if you find no one interested and you have the time, this would be something you could take up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theguyyoudontknow Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 i doubt i could do it, i dont know anything, not 1 thing about modding, and doubt i could learn, but if you could give me a link to a good guide to modding, i could maybe do it.

stars2heaven Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index...ner's_guide Is the best one I know of. It covers most of what you would need to know in order to build what youve described. I followed it all the way through to make my first mod. It just doesnt continue with AI and voice overs/lip sync, but AI is easily learned just by examining npc's and quests in vanila oblivion and other peoples mods. I havent done anything with voices myself yet, since my priority is to build my mod and there is already a universal silent voice mod available.

theguyyoudontknow Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 ok, thx, but i doubt i could learn AI from watching and NPC's, i dont know anything at all about modding, or scripting in general... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
