LE Make your wealth visual: Money Bin

[motaboy]

Hi,

 

we all have that problem: We are rich! The richest dude in whole skyrim, but noone can see our outstanding wealth. We are richer than the Jarls, richer than the dragons, and all we can do to show our wealth is to buy some shabby houses that every farmer can seem to effort. To show your followers and/or real life friends your wealth, here's my idea:
A money bin like Scrooge McDuck's with a rising gold level
I know, dropping single coins leads to a CTD after ~200 coins. Maybe your PC can handle more, but I bet yours also can't handle 1 million single coins in a room.

 

- What we need: A layer of a plain gold-texture (just a texture with coins and some gems on it) in a room, rising with the gold you have. Maybe some single coins on top of the texture, but nothing hardware-hungry.

- How to do: You put your gold in a scripted box which is connected to the height of the gold-layer in a room (some kind of ATM). For example: You put ~10.000 coins in the box which is connected to the height of the gold texture in the room. So the gold-level will rise from zero (empty) to a little, showing you that you're a poor bastard. If you put more money in the box, maybe 500.000, the gold-level will rise to the half height of the room. And maybe at ~1Mio. gold in the box the layer will rise to a room-filling level, allowing you to dive from your springboard onto the gold layer without dying.

 

Here's a picture to show you what I mean: (yes, I made it all by myself)

have you ever tried spawning 1000 coins?

due to the collisions the game will crash at 1000

 

your mod idea is obviously makeable but unless you are a millionaire running skyrim on multiple super computers

even at 1000 coins it will crash the game for most people

if you're lucky then it will crash at 1000-10000

 

if you want visible wealth then having a mod that lets you equipt different jewelary all over your armour that is what is doable

 

it has to do with the type of engine skyrim uses it's very old, older than garrys mod

 

 

fallout 4 can handle you dropping your entire 100+ hour inventory no problems but skyrim will crash/lag/freeze you get the idea

instead what some modder could make that won't crash the game but still do what you want with the money

a gold fountain

some ramp where gold spawns at the press of a button then falls into a bucket that deletes the gold

if the gold is spawned 1-5 at a time it wouldn't cause anyones game to crash/freeze

[skannerz22]

also your idea would make the mod very large to download

there is like 10000 food spread out around skyrim

having that many coins in the 1 spot is what crashes it

If you actually read what he was asking for,he acknowledged that the game crashes after about 200 Gold coins at once and thus requested a single object textured like it was made out of gold coins.

I understand your points, sorry for not descriping my idea correctly. Give me another try :smile:

 

I'm not talking about dropping coins or using single coins. I'm talking about 1 huge, room-filling texture file that just looks like gold. Like in all the games: You find a huge pile of gold and think "man, now I'm rich". Then you realize its just a texture and some single coins.

 

So there would be only 1 texture file needed, some extra coins would be nice but aren't truly neccesarry. A texture file that fills the whole room and rises with your wealth.

 

I didn't find an image of known games, but here's a screenshot from a Ducktale's game. As you can see, it's not million of coins, just 1 texture file:

 

edit: Some time ago I tried to make my dream come true, but as mentionend before no PC is able to do it by dropping coins. By the way, theres a mod letting you drop 1 gold: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/27792/? and a mod for Srooge McDuck's Money Bin: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/8659/?

^ Not the same thing, but pretty close.

Thank you very much!!! Very close to exactly what I was looking for :) Why is this mod so unknown? Millions of players with millions of gold and no idea what to do with it, this mod solves it - great!

I just walked 10 minutes from my player's home (near Whiterun) to the money bin-mod mentioned by AraFox (near Whiterun) because I have a mod that adds a weight to Septim's :D

 

Anyone who could make a complete player's home with that money-store system of the mod mentioned would be my hero :smile:

 

Just imagine: A castle or a big house with all your stuff and a money bin in the cellar, letting you bath in your own gold!

Haha hoisted by your own petard! Wait... *goes to google "petard"* Yeah! Petard!

 

I think the author actually uploaded a file just for the purpose of being able to place it anywhere including in a home. I haven't messed around with making a home with the ck yet, and my plate is pretty full or I'd give it a go. If no one does this by the time I find myself at loose ends again, I'll at least try.
