NellSpeed Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I'm actually working on another companion (and maybe a DIY companion template, we'll see) and about three other projects, but if you want some step-by-steps on how to do triggers, I can probably give you some tips. God knows I screwed it up majorly the first time; at this point, I have a much better understanding of how to handle triggers a bit better. I'd suggest doing one single bard or minstrel at a time-- that way, it'll be easier to fix things when they inevitably go wrong, as they almost certainly will. :biggrin: I think it was David Brasher who said something like "when people say they're doing a final release of a mod, what they mean is they haven't found any new bugs yet".

NellSpeed Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 In my experience-- which isn't all that wide!-- it's both harder & easier than you'd think. The hard part, for me, comes to coming up with a plan and then sticking to it, rather than adding on new bits and pieces. That's why I suggest putting together one single bard in one city, and then adding on from there. I'm not at my gaming system at the moment, but later on I can pull a few examples of scripts I've used that more or less work, & post them here. I've used triggers & say/sayto a LOT. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkInMKUK Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I still think adding a song performance to Elragail is a good start :) She frequently visits the Tiber Septim, which has a large area for people to congregate and act as an audience. At a specific time, adding a script to move her to the end furthest from the door, stand at the foot of the stairs, pull out her instrument and sing a folk song would be in keeping with her profession, and would prove out many of the functions of your mod before trying to create a whole new character and guide them around Cyrodiil. Once that set of functions work, then a performance in public - maybe in the Arboretum - and attracting an audience would be a logical next step. The Estrus mod has a "make the crowd gather and watch" functionality built in, so seeing how it is done there would be a good step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telyn Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 You might be able to find some useful scripts in Bards of Cyrodiil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasS Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 after experiencing some glitches with CURP and the dependant mods im reinstalling oblivion.Once it is done however I will look at equipping Elragail with a animated lute i found and give her a script to play it, there will be no official release of this proof of concept as i would need the creator of the lutes permission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
