[WIP] Call of Hircine: Bloodmoon Rising

[sergyu2500]

Well, time to upgrade the members of the team list, shall we?

 

EDIT: Oh and by the way the werebear looks BEAST! I'm pretty sure after Codex posts his mesh maybe we can get a Pre-Alpha release to the public so we can gather a small fanbase? This way more people will come.

Not likely if you release a mod too early,it can be either disaster or nonstable <- experience talking ;)

So my advice,at least lets finish (if im in the team) all green aspects of the mod and then release it to be sure if its stable,meaning : run tests etc.

Do you agree?

[sergyu2500]

Right mate. 'Course your on the team. At least from my perspective. Lets just wait for Elder's approval. It will take some time, because of the time difference.

[TheElderInfinity]

I'll get to updating the OP later today...Very, very busy...'

 

Edit: Regarding the release, I'm not planning on putting the .esp on steamworks, nexus, fileplanet, or the other mirrors until we're done with most of the work, but I will (generally) be giving testing builds out to people on request.

[TheElderInfinity]

Okay, if deadlines hold up, the creation kit should appear on steam under tools any minute now, or we'll hear about a delay.

[TheElderInfinity]

Alright, time to get working on the script.

 

After about 15 minutes work, I've got this

 

.Scriptname cohTransformTiming extends Quest

{Controls the Timing for transformation.}

short cohGetMoonPhase

_GetMoonPhase

short wwPhaseDay

_GetPhaseDay

int cohnightvar

_cohnight

set GetMoonPhase (( GameDaysPassed + ( GetCurrentTime / 24 ) - 0.5 ) % 24 )

set GetPhaseDay GetMoonPhase / 3

;/List of moon phases returned by cohGetMoonPhase calculation

0 = full moon

1 = 3/4 waning

2 = half waning

3 = 1/4 waning

4 = new moon

5 = 1/4 waxing

6 = half waxing

7 = 3/4 waxing/;

If GetCurrentTime >= 20 || GetCurrentTime <= 6 && GetPhaseDay = 0

set cohnight 1

else

set cohnight 0

endif

if cohnightvar = 1 && cohbmvar != 0

 

 

 

Which doesn't compile, and returns the following errors...(though its to be expected)

Thanks for the comments everyone.

 

To all the people that have made comments on the legs... Unfortunately, they're kinda stuck that way. Trust me, I've been looking at a LOT of bear anatomy, and the legs bug me as well, but because I'm making the werebear to fit the werewolf's skeleton, the legs and feet have to reflect the existing skeleton. If anyone knows someone who can edit skeletons and change animations, feel free to make a werebear skeleton and I can make a mesh that reflects the natural bear anatomy better.

 

I've kept the face neutral up to this point because the werewolf's face was also quite neutral, so I assumed that some expressions would come when everything gets skinned up to the skeleton. But I'll go and push some vertices around to reflect a more savage expression. Also keep in mind that with the addition of the fur planes, the werebear will definitely take on a more primal and savage appearance.

[TheElderInfinity]

care to post the mesh file so we can get to work on textures?

[TheElderInfinity]

Update on the scripts: I've gotten close to a working script. (as in, one that compiles properly and therefore can be tested)
