Blacksmith/Settlement Retooling [WIP]

[Duckfromportal]

Preface: I have not modded before, this is my first real project, I would love any good tutorials that might help, or suggestions/feedback if you feel it can help.

I am working on an mod which I wanna chronicle here, since I plan to upload it here as a modding resource and such in the end anyways. My aim is to add a Forge/Blacksmithy specifically for melee weapons, certain armors (leather, raider, metal) to settlement building (under either the special tab or as a new tab called stone), a short quest line, a ghoul character who is convinced bullets are going to run out (I also aim to practice voice acting with him), as well as grow the Jamaica plain settlement into more of a "player home" the ghoul would give it to you after completing the quest.

As I said, this is my first real project I wanna start off small, so I'm thinking I'm gonna start with either figuring out the ghoul and voicing him, giving him dialog choices and such, or building the smithy, which I'd base off of skyrim/ a medieval forge of some sort.

 

I'm posting this now because I looked at the ck this past weekend, and after I get off work for the week, I wanna really dive into this and feel having some feedback early on may be useful, anyways, bye for now i guess


Edit 1: I started on the forge last night, I scrapped a few before I realized I want to make it so its a wall forge, as in it snaps to the middle of a wall and work like a work station. Havent gotten too far after that, since I only was able to work on it for a few hours, but I'm hoping to work on it more tonight. I figure the character I'm building for this mod Is going to be someone from prewar who was ghoulified, but was a mason who wants to become a blacksmith, which means I'll prob make the prop look a bit nicer since if he's a mason it'd make sense if he can make it look well put together, anywho update/edit 1 over..

Edit 2: I have made a version one of the forge now, I put a wall behind it, but I'm not really not liking the wall part, I think Im gonna take away the wall, I have decided that I wanna try and make the thing snap-able to walls, as well as able to be set by itself

I love the forge idea. It's always bugged me that FO4 has no forges. Looking forward to seeing your mod, or your modders' resource in use. :-)

So Update on this, I've made my basic forge doodad, but I havent had time to texture it yet, and my computer seemsto be a bit too much of a potato to actually mod efficiently. I figure I'm still gonna texture it, try and get it into the game and everything, but the work'll be real slow for a while sadly :/

Edit: forgot to put Screenshots. . .
