Creating a different game with the creation kit?

[zombygeek]

I wanting to create a small, modern day city, or world, with the Skyrim creation kit.

 

It would be completely associated with Skyrim. It would just be using it's engine.

 

Would I just open up the creation kit and start fresh? What would starting fresh turn the game into? Would I have to rebuild all the menus? Or will the basics still be there, and I'd just need to add a world space, armor, items and things, like how we already mod Skyrim..? I'm assuming quests would be gone as well? Maybe I'd be better off just adding a new world space to Skyrim?

 

I'm just interested in a "small" project, of creating something with the Skyrim creation kit. I know the basics of the creation kit and I know how to create models and textures (not conversions though.)

 

Would anyone be interested in a project just to get this "working"? Working, as in, a blank canvas ready for things to be added. I'm not interested in anything ridiculously complex. A simple world to walk around in would be perfectly fine.

 

Maybe it could serve as a base for other modders who prefer to create something more modern or detached from Skyrim's lore occasionally?

This is most decided not a "small project." This is so huge that few would dare attempt it, and they are likely fated to fail.

 

To make a modern world, you would likely need a bunch of modelers, because a lot of modern things are not available in the medieval fantasy world of Skyrim. Like suppose you wanted a telephone. There aren't any. You would need a new model.

 

The easiest way to do this would probably be to leave the Skyrim world alone and build your own worldspace. You would build an alt-start mod kind of setup to take new characters to your world. Since no one would ever see the regular Skyrim world, having it out of sight would be just as good as having it deleted or altered beyond recognition.

 

If you want to test out some of your ideas quickly, you might opt to just build a new interior cell rather than a worldspace. Interior cells can be absolutely enormous.

I have always wondered how far TES universe would go? What would the future be like for that planet? Giant skyscrapers built with science and magic blended together? Swords and axes would be no more but probably replaced by magic and something that looks like star wars stuff. Yeah it would probably closely resemble star wars but the force replaced by magic and the bad guys replaced by daedra.

 

I think it is possible to make a whole new game using the creation kit but I have noticed that some details of the creation kit don't work like some tabs bring up an error message here and there. Also this game is buggy and so is the ck so getting anything to work at all would be very difficult. I can't get balgruuf to wear pleated shoes AND his default outfit he is either naked with new shoes or clothed with old shoes and it has to be something buggy that won't ever be fixed. There are loads of other problems like that in the game that nobody seems to be able to fix right now and no response from beth about it either.

 

If you make a whole new game you will have to go whole hog with it! Replace everything don't use any of the original resources, sounds voices models anything everything totally replaced by another game. Would be great to have a totally different game but it would take away so much of your life it would not be worth it you need a team of people to handle the work load that is for sure and they all have to be experts at modding the game.

I was just thinking of something, what if some people remade oblivion and other good TES games with skyrim engine and ck? Don't use the original resources but instead make their own based on those original resources? At some point in time it will probably be attempted maybe if TESonline sucks or flops because there won't be a sp game after skyrim probably until what, 2014? Beth is busy making TESonline right now so anything sp after skyrim has to be on the back burner at this point. We will probably see some more DLC and that would be it. They would want us to play TESonline after that for a long time so they wouldn't make anything new sp or DLC for one year or more? How much time passed between one TES game and the next anyway? I would try to play the older games and have tried oblivion, made it about 30% 40% of the way through oblivion before I couldn't stand it anymore it was just so boring. The combat was boring, the vampire thing was annoying and I missed a whole quest because I console fixed my way out of vampirism. That one guy that lived in the vampire town he was so annoying had me following people all day to see if they were spying on him he was a nut and I can't stand him! Please if you or anyone else remakes oblivion with ck in skyrim just leave that guy out lol he was terrible but his house was kinda interesting.

Sorry for late reply, internet has been shut off for a week :(.

 

TESonline is being outsourced. I heard that was true at least.

 

I can do models, textures, and animations, though, not converting and importing, I can whip out things pretty quick. I'd choose a simple art style too. Not realistic. Maybe TF2 like. Solid colors. That'd be quick and easy. Modeling is the easy part. Texturing isn't to bad. Converting and using the creation kit is where I fall short. I wasn't thinking anything massive. I would need a team though. 3 people including myself? I'd like to remain the only modeler though, I'm picky about that stuff.

 

I think I'd go with the interior world space then and the alt start. Maybe it could turn into something like Day-Z. I've never actually played day-z. But maybe that without the guns, seems complicated, but, maybe it's as simple as adding an animation? Not sure.

your problem is simple to fix you just ned to duplicate balgruffs armor set in the ck and ctrl+delete the boots and then drag and drop the new boots into the file and save then go to balgrufss actor and change his default armor set to the new duplicated adn altered set and voila he now wears his base armor and the new shoes

Seriously? You necro a 3 year old thread with something that is totally irrelevant to the point the OP was trying to make? How did you even find this?
