Village Planning: Greenspring

[Ibsen's Ghost]

That would be fine, Mizreg. You don't strictly have to make her a shaman. I figured that there would be some Saurians that weren't shamanic...just not very many. I think they're set up to be quite weak but strong for magic-using.

Yes, PWN. They're from an existing mod.

[Mizreg]

I could make her like a magic-hater or something.

[Ibsen's Ghost]

Interesting. She may have had some terrible experiences in the past. Argonian magic is referred to as 'Bhuru' magic and has connotations of voodoo attached to it since it is often mis-used to bring the dead back to life and to place curses on people (which are not actually curses but a form of nature magic relating to the Hist). The likelihood is that if you get your fingers burnt touching Bhuru magic then you wouldn't want anything more to do with it...and it might seem un-Argonian to touch any other form of magic....

[Mizreg]

Something like that, and I would also like to include a female Naga who was banned from her tribe and is know on their hitlist. I made the second interior and a very quick to anger NPC called Bone-Through-Nose. I could also do something else as the Naga but I might even like to make a quest, with BTN being some kind of guy who welcomes fugitives into his village, including the Bhuru user and the Naga exile, could be interesting of course; but right now I'm gonna lay down in my warm and cosy bed and sleep as a pig XD

Have a nice kip, MZ!

Ah yes, fugitives often flee to BM but I guess there are those who remain fugitives even within their own land.

Gonna work on the last, and biggest, interior today then do the dialogue for the last one and AI for them all.

Also I have some questions of small things that need to be done in the village but I don't, exactly, know how to do.

1. How do you make people travel to a certain location, for as far as I know it is done with some kind of marker, wich one I have no idea.
2. How to make people sit with AI, the package isn't in the list.
3. Can I send this to someone to test after its done since I can't open BM up in game.

If those three things are done the village can be merged with the esm. until then, I will keep modding and waiting for answers on these questions.

Your best resource for all that is the AI CS wiki here: http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/ind.../Portal:AI . However, for things like what you are suggesting there then you had best navigate to 'packages'. This is a direct link: http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/ind...AI_Package .

You can select 'package type' from a drop-down list after you have clicked on 'AI' in the player's character window. To answer your questions directly:

1. To get someone to travel somewhere, choose 'travel'. There are then four tabs beneath: schedule, conditions, location, target. I would keep checking these if you're just starting off working with AI so that everything looks right. Needless to say, 'location' will help you to select your location. You then have some buttons that will help you to select either a static object in-game or to select a marker which you will be able to find and place by clicking on 'Static' and finding 'XMarker' or 'XMarkerHeading' (which defines the direction they should face).
   
2. Sitting involves interpreting how to use one of the more universally used options: use item at. I find it's best to click on some of the 'flags' in the AI package window for this such as 'weapons unequipped'. Likewise, if you're making someone sleep then choose 'armour unequipped'. And again, choose the 'location' tab and 'select reference in render window' as with the last one. You can also choose the target tab and select something like 'drinkale' if you want them to sit down and drink.
   
3. Feel free to post it to me. Sadly, I'm off for my second holiday soon (wooo-hooo!) so I'm not going to be quick but I always review claims and, in the meantime, you could have someone to check it to save me the time.

   I'd love to see a screenshot or something. Do you have FRAPS: http://www.fraps.com/download.php ?

Hi Miz;

PWN

[Mizreg]

it somehow crashes my game and sais i need Shivering Isles, gonna make myself a screeny right now, have fraps but not the full version. Damn, it doesnt support BMP pictures.... X(

[t3h_pwn3r_ii]

Hi Miz;

That explains it. Beg your mum to get it for you also, remeber to put those teleport markers to the ground and face them away from the door.

Good job though, looks really nice.
