SSE Two words

[capngagi]

Can we get a sticky with all the mod editing tools and what they can be used for

AND

How can I make a brawl with an orc chieftain (with killing him and without) and then win over his tribe by setting their relationship ranks to whatever and gaining a tax of a list of items and 1000 gold every three days?

[capngagi]

Thanks in advance for replies. Mayvbe I could tell you about the projects I'm working on and see if there's any interest.

Also do you know of a place where we can work on requests together and say we are working on it?

I feel like this was more than two words...so here is my two word response :smile:

 

Here are all the tools that I have used so far:

 

- Blender 2.82 for model tweaks and modelling

- Archive.exe for creating BSA files

- Audacity for creating custom sound files

- BAE for extracting NIF files from existing BSA files

- BodySlide for custom armours

- ChunkMerge - for NIF collision files

- Creation Kit SSE (from Bethesda)

- Creation Kit LE (from Steam)

- GIMP for texture file creation + DDS plugin needed

- NifUtilsSuite for NIF tools (also includes ChunkMerge)

- NifSkope for NIF file creation and manipulation

- Notepad ++ for reading script files

- Outfit Studio for custom armor and weight painting

- SSE NIF Optimizer to convert NIF files back and forth from LE to SSE

- SSEEdit - Certain ESP file edits (also needed to make dialog SEQ files)

 

 

+ VR BeatSaber to take out my frustration at not understanding all the previous listed tools.

 

I am sure there are more that I have not included.

 

I am currently working on creating a mod from a mud (text based rpg) that I used to play that is closed. A similar mud called Realms of Redemption is open and that is what I am basing my mod on. The mud is based on a DnD open source story line. I am mainly focusing on the Ranger guild because that is what I enjoyed playing but there were Pirates, Paladins, Thieves, etc. I would be happy if anyone wants to partner on this mod. I would just ask that they at least play the mud first to lvl 25 so they can get a feel for what I am trying to re-create, sadly there are not many players for txt based games anymore. I am afraid I bit off more than I can chew because I have to add custom worldspace, creatures, and animations :sad: if you or anyone else is interested in this project you can find out more about the mud and creating a character here:

I have seen other Mod Authors list projects here also like Daermonster for his recent Mortal Combat project to see if anyone is interested. The only other place I know that lists projects out is TES Alliance but I have not seen a lot of activity there lately.

 

Finally, not sure on the Chieftan question....maybe someone else knows.

Adventurer 111, I agree... two words? maybe my maths is wrong.

 

I like the list. That's sound for the OP. I'd only reinforce SSEedit... essential for cleaning any mod!

 

As for the brawl, never had anyone brawl. I'd suggest looking at vanilla quests like the Markarth quest that results in a brawl at the warrens. That should clue you up as to how it's started. It may be a standard script. After that, choose how to do it in dialogue. If the player says one thing... brawl. Ifthe player chooses another response... no brawl. Do all that in a quest.

Agreed, that's a good list. Here's some other tools I've used to make my mods:

 

Lazy Voice Finder: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/82482/ (Used to easily find dialogue audio files)

Yakitori Audio Converter: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/73100/ (Convert audio files to and from .xwm .fus and .wav)

SSEScript: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/43691 (Make new scripts or edit existing ones)

GrepWin: https://tools.stefankueng.com/grepWin.html (I use it to search my Data/Scripts/Source folder for script functions. Searches text in multiple files and can include sub folders)

 

Bulk Rename Utility https://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/ (I used to rename multiple audio .fuz files at once for different voice types.)

Also Wrye Bash https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/1840 (For load order and creating bashed patches, more for mod using than making.)

Thanks, guys. I meant 2 basic ideas, but I was drunk and like f*** that s***. Can I tell you about what I'm making?
