webmanix Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 First of all, sorry, im a newcommer and i dont know well how this modding stuff works yet, but i want really bad to create a mod and i have no idea where to start or what to search for to reach where i want :) The things i would like to know are:1- Can i create a new "effect"? (when i mean effect, its something like a poison or some passive skill to increase a certain stat, but something totally new that might even need some extra coding to make it work as i please) 2- Is there any way to change NPC's AI to act differently? (like a common peasant act like a draugr) 3- Is there any way to change NPC's appearance (like the werewolf transformation itself, or make a nord look like an orc but keep his' items) if this npc reaches a certain condition? 4- Does the game processes information on NPCs even if you are not within their range? (I mean, if a npc is poisoned for 4h but im in the other side of the world, will he be affected by the poison for 4h even far? will the poison trigger his death if his health reaches 0?) 5- If answer for question 1 is positive, can i create some kind of "aura" (like mage's skills that envolves him with some element and deal constant damage on his melee range) that can poison NPCs? (if positive, can i create a larger aura? larger than melee range) Also, if possible, can any1 point me where i can find info on how to accomplish these tasks i mentioned? Thanks in advance and sorry for my ignorance :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jet4571 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 2-3-4 is a YES. 1 and 5 i have no idea. as for the also i suggest you start small and make an NPC mod. then expand it over time or better create new as you learn. you are asking for a big chunk of information in one gulp that spans many areas of expertise. i know 2 is easy you just give them the ai packs and factions of a drauger or whatever. 4 is normal behaviour. 3 would be changing its race. If you want all that happening during a quest i cannot help you since i cannot script. but its all possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagin a shooter game, with a plot and stuff, and then the same gameplay in a deathmatch, thats the goal. About 3, it wouldnt be exactly a race-only change, to be very specific, my idea is to change only appearance, the model of the character. could you point me any texts about 2 :)? would help me a lot xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
