How To make Draugr Playable using the CK???

[sepp666]

copy an existing PLAYABLE race and then use the draugr skin, not sure how that will go since there are no 1st person animation but i THINK the 3rd person animation's are there

 

that may be enough to get it in game with invisible arms in 1st person and it may not, but starting with something that works makes more of a difference than what you can see in your tabs. lots of hidden crap that happens that you CAN'T see or edit on the CK when it comes to scripting

 

thing is, you would have to turn off facegen i'm pretty sure until you create all the new pieces of the face so that it can even be applicable. i may see what happens with this before i go to work

Hi sulmithgreysin, have you tested it?

So far the only playable races are the Elder race, mannakin race and dremora race ( due to animations these are the only ones compatible without much work needed on them) but as for dremora and mannakin there are no 1st person hands so there pretty usuless altoghter. the thing with races is there is a lot of settings which are game breaking eg lack of animation, lack of dialogue, no facegen, incorresct camera placement and so forth. it could be done but it takes more time then just messing around with options. although the elder race works perfectly and the dremora race is incerdibly fun to play with in 3rd person.

Ok, i understand. But,wouldn´t it be possible to extract only the Skin of a Draugr and pull this over the own character - change only the Characters look with the Consol-command "showracemenu"? Maybe only the Head of it - the most of the time you wear an armor, so it´s not really a problem to use the arms of any other race...?

So that everything (the Skill and specifications) stays from your Character which you play at the moment - that means that the dialogue must not be changed cause the npc´s would not notice you as a Draugr?

You are right, i would say it should be possible edit the draugr nif and just paste it over the normal breton nif and skeleton or like you said change the skin. back in oblivion days i had made it possible to play as a zombie but nowadays i have dropped over extensive modding but i just remember that it took me about two months to make the zombie race so i still have to brush up on 3d texturing and what not so my knowledge of actually how to do it is limited. looking at the resemble between draugr and mer it shouldn't be too hard. atm expoters for 3ds max are quite inadiquete so a lot of work is need in nifskope which really annoys me, takes ages to import multi object weapons into the game so i cant imagine what a race would be like. hope you figure out how to do it, would be awesome !!
