Bobbetyrules Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I've got a challenge for someone who knows scripting!It won't be a huge intensive project, but just something you'll have to figure out. In all honesty I have no idea how difficult making this would be... Anyways! I'm looking for someone to make a personal journal or diary mod, like an in game book item that the player can write their own things in. Like this http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=15294 I've tried contacting the author of that mod, but got no response. I've been waiting impatiently and anxiously for someone to make a journal mod, often trying to mention it on the forums. So I just thought I'd put the idea right out there into the Mod Request section. I REALLY want a mod like this, but barely have the time to learn scripting myself, so I would forever be grateful to someone who could make this for me (and all the other RPers). In that Oblivion mod there was a bunch features, things like automatically inserting the date and time. While those features would be awesome (and ideal) they're not necessary I just want an in game book that I myself can actually write in. Thanks so much for any reply in advance, I really don't want the thread to die without any replies...That's just something that seems to happen to my threads :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexanderKenneth Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) I don't know much about Skyrim's language, as I am still learning the ropes, but from my experience with coding languages, there should be a command that automatically detects the date and time (As shown in that mod that puts the time on your load screens). I don't doubt they did something like that for in-game time. A journal shouldn't be too hard. Mainly, you'd just have to spend time setting it up to work correctly. Here are the scripts you'd need: *A script that takes user input and applies it to the book, while accepting new input afterwards without overwriting. (Probably hardest)*A script that detects date and time then automatically applies (Pretty easy after the above) One cool feature to add, if it's possible, would be to have the player 'draw' sketches into their journal when they explore a unique or special dungeon. Take Bleak Falls Barrow (The dungeon where you get the Dragon Stone for Jarl Balgruuf of Whiterun) for example. You could have some pictures of the golden claw and the dragon stone be put onto a couple of pages. I might start working on it once my current mod is done. EDIT:: Found something that should help with this. The following links to a page on the wiki that finds the time of day.

DarkwingDirk Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Oh! And what if you were required to have a piece of charcoal or a quill & ink in order to add to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbetyrules Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 I might start working on it once my current mod is done.If you did that I'd be forever in your debt (okay, exaggeration)! The drawing idea sounds cool, but is in no way necessary to me. If you do in fact start working on something like this, please message me or post in this thread so I can at least know about it :thumbsup: Any other takers?!
