iceroyale Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Hi I was wondering if there is any mod that lets you spawn an NPC of your choosing? (with the ability to pick race, gender and maybe even looks if that is possible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brasher Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Are you like wanting to spawn an enemy to fight? A townsperson to act as scenery? A person to recruit as a companion? The way Oblivion is set up, you can only adjust how faces look in-game for the player. Otherwise it has to be done in the CS and ready to go when the game starts. This severely limits customization for a dynamic mod such as you describe. The mod would probably be built such that there is a pool of prebuilt NPCs that the mod would pull from. So if you asked for a Dunmer female, the mod would go to the warehouse and fetch a Dunmer female and bring it to you. (The mod might only have one model to choose from unless it was large and elaborate, especially if you asked for a Dunmer female mage with red hair.)

latinoad Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 You could pull an NPC from a defined list and then choose clothing from a defined list. Weapons. Even hair wigs. That would make a good diversity of models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroyale Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 Yeah I did mean for scenery. I mean what's the point of custom races if there's no NPCs that have it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brasher Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 It would be much faster and easier to build a mod that placed NPCs of a certain custom race all around in the game world than it would be to create a mod that would spawn them on request. A person with practically no modding experience could make this first kind of mod, but it might take an expert modder a very long time and lots of effort with lots of setbacks to build a satisfying mod the second way. It is probably within your current capabilities to construct the first kind of mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatLucifer Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Honestly, I don't think this would be too hard. It needs some manhours, yes, but not hard. If someone picks this up (*cough* OP *cough*) I'm willing to give it a headstart by doing the scripting and possibly some more help. Though I could help you along way, I don't have the time for making enough NPC's. Besides, I don't use races or wigs. So, the offer stands. If someone else is willing to make the esp, NPC's and sofort, I'll do the scripting. Greetings, Lucifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
