jesper107 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hello everyone! My name is Jesper, a 24 year old guy from Malmo, Sweden. I'm a long time TES-player but with the implementation of the Workshop and the coming of a bright future for modders world wide i decided to start modding myself. I hereby say a heartly "hello" to all of you! Basically what I want to do is create a whole new world for me to play around with and learn level design, quest design, scripting and so on. I've been following Elinens excellent workflow (http://hoddminir.blogspot.se/2012/02/from-heightmap-to-worldspace-in-skyrim.html) but new as I am I just find it too hard to follow it. I know I am asking for much when requesting a tutorial that, in depth, takes me from starting Photoshop (for the heightmap) to a world that just needs statics, scripts and general content to be "complete". Is anyone working on this? Is anyone willing to do such a tutorial (which with all certainty will be extremely popular throughout all the TES communitys)? Right now I am completely out of breath and have lost all but a tiny piece of my motivation to become a good modder. I feel it is crucial for me to have "my own" world that I can work on and learn the ropes from there, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a heightmap @4096x4096, 16bit grayscale TIFF. How big will this world be? Is it correct in its coloring? Heres a link to it: http://www.2shared.com/photo/bqNE0T4C/01testmapcandidate1.html Cheers fellas, Jesper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasti89 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Well, i'm only in the quest design/quest scripting field, so i'll talk about that. I started modding 5 months ago, and before that i wasn't even able to load a plugin in the CK. I've read the CKwiki quest tutorial. Made that quest about 2-3 times to catch the mechanics. Then i started making my own quests, looking at the CKwiki (very usefull), looking at Vanilla Quests (extremely useful) and sometimes asking here (extremely useful when someone answers, lol). In quest field, i think the better tutorial is Skyrim itself. Look at the quests in the CK and you'll understand a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your insight, and I'll make sure to try it out once I get step one sorted out - creating my world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tox2ik Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Search for tutorial in the mod section. There are quite a few of them. They will probably not answer all of your questions, but it's a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarianHawke Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I've also found quite a bit of help from going to youtube and searching there. I have an easier time learning if I can watch a step by step rather than reading only... but there are tons of tutorials on youtube.. you might find what you're looking for.
