t0mm06 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Hey i thought i'd upload this WIP of a sword im making.http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/images/124526/ So its a bastard sword based on Ned Starks sword from the TV version of game of thrones (NOT ICE!!)Just need to texture it and add maps to it, then learn how to add it to skyrim.But my main goal after the sword is done is to make and add some custom animations for it as a proper bastard sword, not really that usable as a one handed but not quite a 2 handed either.

asdgora Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Can you add custom animations to a single weapon without changing the animation for all the weapons? I don't know so I advice you to research it before continuing your mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know so I advice you to research it before continuing your mod. He's got a valid point. If it was something someone who still needs to learn how to add things to skyrim could do easily, it would've been done a hundred times already.Having said that, and you're not deterred, i'd like to point out that there are animation mods that alter the animations for the player character, but not the npc's. Maybe that'll hold some clues to get your custom sword animation.Perhaps its possible to create a script/enchantment/perk that temporarily assigns a custom race to the player character, which would allow for a custom animation.Some animation mods that might help you out:FNIS: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/11811 Good luck on your mod!

t0mm06 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Ohh i know it'll be difficult. and it'll probably start with a basic change of player animation for one handed or two handed weapons.But there have been mods which added rifles and pistols to the game, before the crossbow was here. So it defiantly is possible to add new classes of weapons to the game, with custom animations, and i'm more then capable of the animation. and the scripting (seeing as somethig like it has already been done) would be a lot of me taking pre existing script and editing it.

True, but those were just staffs with a new model and projectiles. Still, i like seeing someone so determined to succeed :) I'll be sure to pick up your mod once it's completed. :thumbsup: For now i'll be tracking this topic :) Edited August 14, 2012 by Urwy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0mm06 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 yeh i think the longest and hardest part of this mod's going to be basically making a new class/type of weapon. I might have to look into the Dawnguard files (once i get it) to see how they scripted the crossbow, use that as a starting point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfac364 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 from what i understand about skyrim animations it may be more diffficult than you think, i remember when the creation kit first came out a lot of people were complaining that they couldnt get their animations into the game, thats why mods like animated prostituion have to input a new character model to actually do the animation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0mm06 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Well i know its possible to get animation files into skyrim, as there are new animations, (i know these are mostly replacers) but there are a few that add new ones, and i know quite a few people who are better at scripting then me, so i am confident that we can get it done. it only took a few people at Bethesda a week to get crossbows in game (if you look at that video they made just after skyrim came out of loads of cool stuff they added for fun) so im confident that even if i cant do it, one of the scripters i know will be ale too.

Sk0rpio Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Looks awsome! I think it will fit the game just fine! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
