Alchemy Jars (and sorting script)

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I wonder if anyone can help on this? I want to put some ingredient jars into a mod I'm making, but don't really want to use the small Ayleid casks. What I had in mind was the blue jar that was available in Morrowind, I would also like the script for the sorter (I can put that in place myself - it's just writing it that's the problem).

 

I do know that ALL the jars will have to be marked as persistent reference for the script to work.

 

There only seem to be two mods that have this sort of system and both of them use the Ayleid Casks! In fact, if anyone knows of a way to port the jars over from Morrowind, the nif files are named _dm_pot_****; where **** is the ingredient name, these come from a modders resource I found called "Alchemical Ingredient Pots and an Automatic Sorter" Unfortunately, this set comprises ALL of the ingredients for Morrowind, Tribunal and Bloodmoon, and the pots would need to be re-textured. Not only that but the other files are in tga format, so you would get Tx_B_pot_b****.tga where *** is the ingredient name, and there don't appear to be ANY NORMAL FILES!

Unless you really need to do this yourself, I highly suggest trying Cobl and seeing if you like it. Optionally, it can share new many items and functions with other Cobl mods, which might be a function you would find useful.

 

tga files can be converted to other formats. There's a good chance a program you own can already do that. :)

Unfortunately, I've looked at Cobl in the past, but all I can see is it requires mods I DON'T have such as Shivering Isles. In addition all it seems to be is a set of scripts, and surely any sort of mod that I need will have those scripts involved already.

 

As I want to make a mod that' any-one can download and use, not just people who can and want to have to find other programmes such as Wrye Bash. The only exceptions I'm making are OBSE and OBMM though it does not need to rely on OBMM.

 

Although I CAN convert tga files to dds files, what about the _n.dds files? As far as I know, the _n.dds files contain an alpha channel, and I don't have any programme capable of making one! In fact if someone could let me have a script, I could paste that into the script portion, but I can't write one (yet) hence my asking.
