LE COLORED ITEM TEXT

[Exurim]

Looting is great, it made me feel amazing when I looted rare equipment and weapons in Oblivion. I don't know why, it just brought the greed out in me.

 

Now I did play World Of Warcraft for a little while. But let's admit one thing the game is good, and the looting system is extremely good and exciting, infact all the rare equipment is mainly why most hardcoe WOW players still play it.

Now apart from the huge amount of items in WOW, I want Skyrim to have one thing that WOW has.

Coloured text for items.

I don't know if they have gave any information quality distribution in looting system or the items.

 

Example:

Excalibur, Saurons Mace, Sword Of Ra, Necklace Of Territory or even a rare book like Tome of the old gods, you get the picture?
That would just be so exciting seeing that come up in a chest at the end of a cave or in someones corpse.

I dont want to hear about you people saying " i dont need color coding to tell me whats good" cause its not about that, its about the thrill of SEEING SOMETHING ELSE THAN WHITE TEXT on every item, make something stand out the in the inventory.

I totaly agree with every word

[Exurim]

well well well.

[Swingline87]

Was anything like this ever created?

 

I know this is an old topic but I can't seem to find any mods like this.

[Exurim]

No, never got anything at all, general feedback is negative while some stay positive.

 

So lets keep making more follower and skill tree mods......

 

But if you did find anything bring it forth!

That is not do-able.

But you can change the names of the rare items.

Some modders made:

 

New contient

New Skill trees

New UI

New Combat system

New Loot system

New Story line

New Races

 

And some color on font is impossible? You seem to have some good amount of posts behind you and are probably updated on most parts but, how can you be so sure?

[Boombro]

It not the same. And holy, 3.300 posts?!

 

All of what you have listed is easy to make, with the tools needed in the CK, and can be learned in a one hour, each take about 50 secs-10 minutes to do on a basic scale in the CK. For UI you have to know adobe flash.

 

Think about it, if it was that easy, why no one made it before?

 

Why didn't someone just say "I can do this in one min. Give me some time." ? a good number of small scale mods requests get made, why not this, if it was so basic?

 

There also guides to modding, scripting, questing, sounds, enbs etc but nothing about fonts. That means they are most likely hard coded (AKA un-moddable.), almost impossible or time consuming, there are countless items in Skyrim. To color them all will take about a full week.

 

I saw screenshots of colored highlighted names, but not in inventory. And the code is part of the item name, looks ugly.

 

Colored messages can be done ( top left corner messages.) and can be scripted to appear when item is picked up by the player, however. You need basic scripting skills to do that as far as I know. I can give you link to start if you want.

Thanks for the information BoomBro!

Not really what i wanted to hear but non the less what i needed to hear. I get the picture, lets hope someone finds the time to make this, i dont really feel like jumping on this massive task.

 

Good day!

It not that hard really. Making a scripted message at item pickup is easier than making a custom house and takes very little of your time. When the script is made, you do have to change the item it detects which may take one hour for every unique item.

 

There is SkyComplete - Automatically Track Quests - Locations - Books. It tells if you picked a named item of any kind.
