ShadeTailUS Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I'm still really new to modding, and I'm trying to make a fairly simple mod that changes a few things with Eorlund Gray-Mane. Specifically, I'm trying to add some new items to his store inventory, and also have him offer some of them when you get to the point in the Companions quest line where he makes you a Skyforge Steel weapon. The problem is, I can't find the Creation Kit's quest entry where you choose a weapon. I've been combing through the Companions quest line, both the story and radiant quests, and I just can't find it. Also, I want to make sure the new items I add to his store are limited to only his store and can't be purchased elsewhere, just like the Skyforge Steel items, but I haven't figured out how to do that. I've been going through the Creation Kit tutorials, and I have a pretty solid grasp of the basics, but this is really stumping me and I'm getting frustrated. Can someone point me to the correct quest entry in the Kit, please? Also, is it even possible to make sure the new items can't be bought elsewhere, such as flagging them with a special trait or the like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadeTailUS Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 As a quick follow-up, I've still been researching this on my own, and still haven't found it in the CK. That said, my attempt to google the answer says it should be part of the very last stage of the Proving Honor quest. I've been searching that quest in the CK, but I simply can't find the "choose a weapon" conversation. Either it's not there, or I have no idea which window to look at. I'm pretty sure I've checked every single window of that quest, and every single option in each window, but maybe I missed something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evangela Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) Look at the C00 quest, bring up Dialogue Views, select C00EorlundView dialogue branch, look for C00EurlondBranch ~ this is the branch that handles the weapon reward. Can't miss it: It has an orange background. Edited August 5, 2018 by Rasikko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadeTailUS Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 Yes indeed, there it is. Thank you so very much. It's actually somewhat odd, when I stop to think about it. All the wikis and web sites I found in my search for answers described a lot about how the quest went, but absolutely nothing about how it was organized in the CK. There are pretty much no resources for aspiring modders to look up this kind of information. It was ridiculously frustrating, because I knew what I needed but I just couldn't find it.

Evangela Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) Skyrim is not as well documented as Morrowind and Oblivion because the people that documented a lot for those games had all moved on or stuck with those games. I wouldn't have zero'd in on exactly where the reward is handled, had you not mentioned the quest Proven Honor. This allowed me to pull up Eorlunds' Use Info and analyze the entries that reference him. Use Info is perhaps the most useful feature in the CK.

ShadeTailUS Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 It's been a while, since real life was interfering, but I've finished the mod and it's now live here on Nexus. Since you helped me out, I thought I'd let you know, in case you were curious: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/19634 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evangela Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Awesome man. Feels even better when helping someone results in their mod making it to the nexus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
