Modding a player?

[Soulece]

I'm new to modding but I have found guides on how to use CS to mod buildings, terrain and npcs but I can't find any guide on how to change your player. I am planning on making a mod to make my player look like a real lich where many of the other mods have failed but I need to find where to change the player. Can anyone point me in the right direction? It would be much appreciated =]

Well, this simply isnt possible. The only way to do this is to modify the lich's creature model and make it into a clothing item, and then equip it on your player.

Why this isn't possible?

1. Editing the player - it can't be done. The only way to edit the player after you left the sewers it so open the console and use the ShowRaceMenu command.

2. Having a NPC (in this case the player) using a different body model than other NPC's - can't be done either. Ever noticed that eventhoguh in lore khajiit have catlike feet that makes them unable to wear shoes, ingame they have human feet? It's because every single NPC has to use the same body model, hard coded in the game engine. Breaking that code is considered hacking and can get you in jail.

 

I assume you also want your char to have the lich's animations. That can't be done either. If you really want all that, find yourself an amazing scripter who can figure out how to make the player invisible while having a lich perform the exact same actions as the player on the exact place of the player. Should be a fun mod to make , hehe.

Well what I'm looking for is like what was done in the Lichdom and Lycanthropy mod. He used a spell to change the player into a skeleton model. I want to be able to do things like that but make it look like an actual lich even if I have to do my own modelling to make it that way. Just wanting a push in the right direction for that.

The way they did it is about as close as you'll get toward any way of doing it. The game just doesn't allow for better.

Can anyone refer me to a resource that can teach me how to do modding like that or tell me where in CS I can start messing around with the effects that deal with the player?

Might not be exact, but , this has the ability to turn a player into a lich.

 

Also if you want to get started modding, try here.

I know a set of scripts that check the players body slots to see if they are occupied ( head, hand, foot, upperbody and lowerbody ) and if not, Items of clothing can be assigned to ocupy those slots ( in this case Items that would make you look like a lich )...they were written by Rebel O'Connor and would work ( my players body is completely different to the body replacer I use for NPC's ), I can pass them along to you, and they have a tutorial as well, but you will need to find the 'body parts' from somewhere.
