How do I create a new dragon actor?


Recommended Posts

Thus far, I have only made a mod that replaces textures. I was hoping I could avoid creating another texture replacer mod, but I do not have any knowledge on how to create my own actors in the world.

 

I would like to create non-replacer dragons that use new textures. How would I go about doing this with the Creation Kit?

 

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

The best way to go about it is to make a copy of a pre-existing dragon and work from there. It's kind of hard for me to explain, because I really just learned how to do it from lots of trial and error. :P

 

Here's my mod where I did exactly what you want to do: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/11206

 

My advice would be to pick that one apart by loading it up in the CK and looking at all the things that I added. Everything that I did starts with "AV1" so you should be able to find them easily. There's lots of things to include, like "armor addons" (yes, even for dragons :D ), "skins", "outfits", etc. Each of these things assigns the correct model/texture to the dragon actor.

 

Take a look at it, and if you have any more specific questions, I'll be happy to help however I can. :)

Thank you so much. I will work backwards from your mod and see how that works. I appreciate the help and may ask you a question or two later on down the line. :)
