schools of magic

[RixIpos]

Is it possible to create a new school of magic? I'm wanting to create an "entropy" school of magic. Now I'm new to using the creation kit so I know most of nothing when using it. If u guys can respond with information that can help me make this magic school I'd be thankful.

This has me stumped also.

 

I find little reference to schools of magic in the files, and whenever I do see "magic school, restoration" it is greyed out. I cannot find the files themselves.

 

I'm going now to look through some tutorials, and see what I can find, but any help would be great.

I know it has been awhile since I posted this but I found nothing out. Hopefully this summer I will have time to play around with the Creation Kit. If u find anything interesting about this please inform me k. I still want to create a Entropy school of magic. ^_^ lol

If you do find out anything, could you post what you found here? I'm curious as well.

About this, the files for the schools, is a drag down menu up top, and you click, "Character" then "Actor Values"

 

In the list are all the talent schools, and lots of other stuff.

 

I clicked the Restortaion school, and tried to duplicate it. It made a dupe, but the file type was not the same.

 

Where the original file type was "skill" the dupe had nothing.

 

I was able to change the names of the existing schools, and change spells from one school to another.

 

I actually plan to rename all the schools, including three schools of magic.

 

Since I'm aiming for less magic types, I will have no problem.

 

If however you want ALL the existing schools, and talent trees, creating an entirely new talent type, seems impossible on the surface.

 

I also tried to delete one, just to see what happened, and it said something like "file is a base file, and cannot be deleted" not sure what this means,

I tried to do that ones. It made my plugin crash the game immediately and I had to delete all references to what I had done ^^;

It's my understanding that it's impossible to create new skills and perk trees (unless something has changed in the last few months since I've been gone). You can only repurpose old ones, so if you want something new you need to merge two old ones. I find that Lockpicking and Pickpocket are good ones to merge.

 

Of course, last time I was around it was declared "impossible" to control NPCs, and now you can do that, so hopefully someone can figure this out.

I also find it hard to believe that it is impossible.

 

To me it seems impossible, but..... I'm a newb.

 

Oh well, I suppose even the CK has limits.

 

Good thing they have like 20 perk types in the game as is.

All this is interesting. So according to the information Oracleofmoons has given us, we can't create new schools of magic... or it just seems that way because of no one finding a way yet. Now we are able to rename existing schools so that is a way to create and replace ones we do not really need or care for.

 

Not all is lost :D yah! .... if I got all the facts straight.

[Oracleofmoons]

Ya, they are mysterious Bigfoot files, that you can find multiple references to, but the files themselves are nowhere to be found. D:

Lol well it makes sense that if someone would want to create a new school for one of the old ones to be replaced. I mean there are only a certain number of room for the schools in the perk window... I think that is what it is called. Hmmm .. ya I need to start working with the ck; it's been forever since I used it for anything. D:( but first comes finals! !! >:c
