HIS DARK MATERIALS


ciddy

Recommended Posts

now, at the moment it is only a dream, but i would loveto make a mod of phillip pullmans his dark materials trilogy, and would pour my heart and soul into making it if i could get a team together

 

for those of you who dont know what i'm talking about, read the northen lights, the subtle knife and the amber spyglass, and stare in awe at his amazingnesnes-er-ness :D

 

pleease get back to me as this mod would be a killer, with evry npc with its own daemon, fith a few select people (as there are no clildern in game) whos soul can changeits shape.....

While I love the books I can see some major problems with trying to turn them into a Morrowind mod

 

The main characters are children. Making them adults would defeat the whole point.

 

The daemons change all the time - while this could perhaps be done with a lot of scripting it would also make the game very slow. And you would have to have new animations for all the possible forms the daemons can take

 

The northern lights would require a new sky effect...again, this can perhaps be done but would hog resources

 

Which world would you set the game in and how do you handle the transfer between the different worlds?

 

How could you put the alethiometer and the subtle knife into a mod?

ok

 

first, there are mods for children, and are easy tomake

 

secondly, you would have a particle effectto cover the dæmons when they change

 

thirdly, another particle effect

 

fourth, for the first transfer, the conditions would have to be exactually right (in svalbard, lyra father killed roger ect)

 

fith, i am not sure about the altheometer, but i will think of a decent ecuse the subtle knife would be like the amulet in tel fr, when used it teleports you there

 

 

does that answer your questions??!!!

 

:D

 

plzzz respond if u wanna help, anyone

The first transfer is at a fixed point...but later the subtle knife can create a passageway between worlds at any point, leading to the corresponding point in the other world...which means you'd have to have a script to check the precise location, then teleport to the corresponding place in the other world.

 

 

The alethiometer would also need an insanely complicated script to put it into the game...plus a way of learning how to use it...

 

Making the alethiometer and the subtle knife into enchanted items would not be sufficient IMO.

not enchanted, scripted so thatwhen you use it (cant in combat as it requires full concentration) it opens a 'window' made to look foggy, so when you do use it (at first at key points as the scripting would be so intense, and if you could not use it, a message would pop up saying something like 'your mind is too occupied with thoughts, try elsewhere') it opens the dooway into the another world

OK!!!

 

as the novels follow lyra, you would have to play as her, and 'aquire' will at the right point in game.... so..... you would not need anything for the knife, as it is only useable by will, and therefore you would have to tell will to teleport you toa different world

 

the altheometer would be *beep* near impossible though....
