General Grievous Race Mod

[ZombiezuRFER]

Dear modders,

I am looking for someone willing to put up with some pretty grueling work for a race mod I'd like to see. It's likely I will be asking for a TON here, but whoever can do this mod wins my gratification for a long time to come.

FEATURES:

Play as General grievous (backstory and pictures here http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Grievous )

Dual wielding for all races, and quad wielding for General Grievous

General Grievous Sounds (like when hurt or stuff like that [most vanilla sounds with an electronic filter could work])

Compatability with OOO, MMM, deadly Reflex, other race mods (patches or initial bit, your choice)

finally, the proper height... at least tallest of all races.

 

I do hope one of you can help me out with this, and I may want further mods to work with this in the future, but for now, this is all I really want. Thanks :D

Not possible due to game engine limitations. Can't use four arms, and ALL bodies in Oblivion use the same body mesh.

 

Really, it's so utterly impossible... you might want to get a rough idea of what's possible and what's not before making requests.

Though I don't want to get anyone's hopes up here....

 

The childrace mod uses obse to replace a body mesh (note; 'a' not 'all')

 

The wherewolve mods use obse to switch skeletons....

 

Not saying it will be done, but utterly impossible may be a bit harsh.

I find your lack of faith disturbing...

It should be possible, albeit hard, to do quad wielding... and many mods already change the body meshes, its just that they make it impossible to wear anything with it, which is Fine by me. I don't really need GG to wear t-shirts and chainmail, I just want a General Grievous. Please, if anyone really attempts this, please leave a reply to tell me you will work on it, I don't like it when people leave me hanging. :D

Dual wielding is impossible. Quad wielding is especially. Dual wielding is done by "trickery". Its just an offhand sword that blocks, you can't attack. If anything, quad wielding would just be two unusable items for show.

 

Engine limitations :pinch: Some things are hard coded in the game.

Dual wielding with Vanilla Animations are done by 'Trickery'. Using a custom animation mesh you can easily make the offhand weapon attack during an animation. You could even script true offhand attacks like done in Deadly Reflex.

 

As far as I know, if you can make an addition to the vanilla skeleton (Which has been done mind you, see Maximum Compatibility Skeleton or Better Bouncing Boobs if you're over 18) to have more bones attached to the skeleton then you can make attack animations/weapon drawing animations for that skeleton. because you have a modified skeleton, you can add bone heat and parent a new arm mesh to the skeleton specifically for Mr. Grievous. For the skilled modder, it's a hassle but possible with effort. Plenty of mods out there for proof. I will list them all if anyone cares.
