Good Luck

Of course. I'll start working on the mod tomorrow. I hope you can help, I will take screenshots of the from mod's work. so you can understand the purpose of the mod

 

I am still not clear on how the player gets to where he has to be for the mod to start, or how the quest starts.

 

You said:

"1. - The first thing this player should do (like Shorestone), and there should be a scene where the agent of Penitus Oculatus has to fight against the Dark Brotherhood."

 

What is the first thing the player should do (like Shor's Stone)? You didn't seem to actually tell us! :smile:

 

Do you mean that the player must go to Shor's Stone for the quest to start, and you have the cut scene there when he completes the Shor's Stone quests?

 

Or do you mean that you created a new village similar to Shor's Stone?

 

 

The TES Wiki says:

"Shor's Stone is a small mining village that operates the Redbelly Mine. It is located in the pass between the Rift and Eastmarch, north-northwest of Riften and south-southeast of Windhelm. The name is taken from the Nordic god Shor. The town is having trouble with frostbite spiders that have infested their mine."

 

So it would be possible to link the start of your Mod's quest to the completion of all quests at Shor's Stone, EG with a timer that the player gets a vision or a dream after he clears out the mine and turns in all the quests. Redbelly is an Ebony Ore mine, so people will want to mine it out as part of their gameplay anyway. If I remember correctly, the Unofficial Patch does switch the ores in two mines, but I cannot remember which ones at the moment.

You said:

"2-The player goes to the Dragon Bridge"

So the PC starts in the Southeast of Skyrim, then has to travel all the way to the Northwest, to Dragon Bridge village near Solitude?

 

 

You Said:

"3. - The commander of the faction gives the Player a task."

 

Well, let's get #1 sorted out and working first! :D

 

 

120 NPCs is a LOT of NPCs. If they are all actve at once, I envisage CrashFest-A-Go-Go!! Apparently, this is why the Civil War had so few soldiers in the base game.

 

You also have two Vanilla Faction Leaders. This should be OK if you have two totally separate, new, distinct versions of them, so your Mod does not break the Vanilla Quests. For my mods I always try to make unique items rather than replacers. This way, I could make a duplicate of a Vanilla NPC and gve them a new name, new Form IDs etc and then remove any Vanilla Quests and links from them and add my own, without affecting the original.

 

 

But how does the quest actually start?

 

We have a slight language and communication issue here, as I speak nothing but English and you and maxarturo learned it as a new language, so sorry if I am being dim and didn't get what you said.

 

What is your native tongue? I know how Google Translate from original to English and back to original can make you sound like you speak the language of Goblins!

 

:D

[ThanksNex1]

Probably yes, there were problems with the translator but figured it out. And once again, I'm sorry that this happened with communication. I didn't want it, especially not understanding.

My native language is 2. This is Uz, Kgz and I know a little Russian but not very well.

Only on a conversational level

Hopefully now it's clear. It took a long time to translate phrases separately

[ThanksNex1]

:D

Can you help me now? What should I write?

Like -

Event Start Scene ()

if (???)

namequest. ???

namequest. ???

endif

EndEvent

 

The problem is I don't know what to write.

I'm not sure, but I will try to explain again -

Event OnRead ()

if (???)

namequest. ???

namequest. ???

endif

EndEvent

 

 

Event (wait time ???)

namequest. ???

namequest. ???

endif

EndEvent

???

 

I'm not sure yet where to write what

I hope you can help what to write and where :D

[ThanksNex1]

Yes Uzbek and now I use Russian. I haven't spoken the Kyrgyz language for a long time, I think for a very long time that much has been forgotten

 

2?

 

So is your native language Uzbek or Kyrgyz?

Hopefully my native language won't get in the way of mod creation.

Sorry again for communication errors. it was awkward :wallbash: :D
