    The desire to get rich can lead to the most unpleasant consequences. Are you ready to be tested in Penumbra experiment? New quest with full English translation and many fixes from me. Created by Lonely Traveler Translated by TrickyTrack00 This mod was originally created and uploaded back in 2014 by Lonely Traveler. Don't expect references to The Penumbra series because this quest has little to no connections to this franchise. Penumbra games were more like an original inspirational idea for creator, so they have similarities only in "dark mood" and, well, "underground facility". Even though, this quest looked very promising and unique, it had dozens of bugs, one of which "softlocked" many users before even finishing first part of the quest. So now, after almost 9 years, I fixed many minor and big issues and translated this decent quest to English language. So, you know the deal, right? WHAT TO EXPECT .................................................................................. 1) New unmarked quest which consists of two "formal" parts: first - "key/notes" gameplay structure, second - maze type dungeon with big rewards and huge enemies; 2) Potential new player house in Canterbury Commons; 3) Around 1,5-2 hours to complete quest; 4) Custom ambient/horror soundtrack in the Penumbra facility; 5) In second part of this quest there are several optional "challenges" in the facility, so don't hesitate to explore and check all available doors and containers; 6) No PuceMoose's style of puzzles, trust me; 7) One new weapon type as a main reward for this challenge; HOW TO INSTALL .................................................................................. Original creator left full permissions to modify and re-upload his quest, so you'll only need files from this page. Also if you'll stuck in the first "key/notes" part or just really hate this kind of gameplay structure, in main archive you can find optional translated walkthrough. It contains step by step guide for the first part of the quest (before entering Penumbra facility). 1) Place the .esp and other folders in the Data directory of the game 2) Activate the dom ESP file and run the game. HOW TO START .................................................................................. You need to find first note near the Vault 101 door (interior location, not exterior!). You can find screenshot of this note in the "Images" section of this page. Also this mod is balanced for mid-game players, you will need at least 50 - Science and Lockpick skills. Minimum player character level for balanced experience in combat stages - 15. Don't bring companions in The Penumbra Facility after first part of the quest. BUGS AND CONFLICTS .................................................................................. WHY REMASTER?? I fixed all "game breaking" bugs and minor issues that I found in my 3 play-testing playthroughs (changes in values, weight adjustments, names, enemies placement, incorrect damage and HP configurations, put notes in more proper and accessible places and so on). So this quest is absolutely playable from start to finish, but you can expect some small bugs like floating notes and clutter sometimes. Also original creator forgot to put first note in separate Vault 101 entrance interior (which player will visit after "Trouble on the Homefront" quest, yes, in the game files there are 2 of them), so you could've only find it if this vanilla quest didn't already started. Now you can start this quest whenever you want. But the main point in this "Remaster" was to fix "softlock" bug which prevented many "original version" players from entering Tom's House location. So in my version I made a separate access hatch to finally get in this location without any problems. So, please, follow my translated walkthrough for more details. CREDITS .................................................................................. My deepest gratitude to Lonely Traveler for creating this quest mod. All rights and praises only to original modder. Original Mod Page

    "Bloody Safari" is ready for new hunters to test their skills! But there is a chance that you can become a prey yourself... Another Mod-Tec team quest with full English translation. Created by Mod-Tec Team Translated by TrickyTrack00 Another English translation of pretty decent mod from Russian Mod-Tec team, which was only published in original language on other mods websites. After 14 years from the initial release, you can experience this little hidden gem with translated and adapted version. German version by Blankenese can be found here WHAT TO EXPECT .................................................................................. 1) New dungeon type quest with large amount of Wasteland creatures; (prepare yourself, really) 2) At least 30-60 minutes to complete all objectives; 3) Little easter-eggs from original creators; 4) Different choices in the end of the quest; HOW TO INSTALL .................................................................................. You don't need any additional files, just use .esp file from this page. 1) Download file and place .esp file in Data folder; 2) Activate in any mod manager; HOW TO START .................................................................................. The quest starts automatically, you will receive pop-up message with information about new entertainment business in the "Bloody Safari Ranch" near Springfield. Don't bring any followers with you, they can break scripts. Don't forget your best weapons and stimpacks, you'll need them. BUGS AND CONFLICTS .................................................................................. I didn't touch any technical side of the mod and it wasn't my goal in the first place. This mod is absolutely playable from start to finish and shouldn't conflict with any mod that doesn't change worldspace near Springfield location. CREDITS .................................................................................. My deepest gratitude to Mod-Tec team (Sergey_Ros, Khashidius) for making this decent mod quest and all praises should go to them. I'm only trying to revive thier legacy and help foreign audience experience their projects.
  3. Version 1.0.0

    New quests, radio station, perks, crafting and resurrected Canterbury Commons. Now with English translation. This mod was originally created by Mogila (mogalkov_i). I have already translated his other quest mod "Grand Construction", so you can expect more mechanics and features from his previous project. Again I couldn't contact original creator for details because he didn't visit Nexus since 2009. WARNING! Some content of this mod may be rough and inappropriate for some players. I did not change or rewrite original jokes and dialogue lines, but only made a complete and the most accurate manual translation. Please write any complaints to the original author of the project. WHAT TO EXPECT .................................................................................. 1) New scripted and unmarked quests in Canterbury Commons (around 2 hours to finish all activities): Open new bar, help drug dealers, steal Enclave vertibird, find new genetic "clone" lab and much more; 2) Great improvements in Canterbury Commons landscape (new features and places will be available while completing different tasks in town); 3) New radio station "String Accordions"; 4) 30 crafting recipes in your new player house in Canterbury Commons; 5) 9 Special Implants which will work like optional perks; 6) Fully-functional Virtual Reality Simulator; 7) New weapons and outfits; 8) Unlockable option to buy slaves; 9) "Easter eggs" and references to pop-culture included... HOW TO INSTALL (YOU NEED ORIGINAL FILES FROM THIS PAGE) .................................................................................. 1) Download archive from original mod page; 2) Use my translated .esp file to replace original .esp; 3) Activate 1stKenterberyUpgrade.esp with any preferable mod manager; 4) Done! HOW TO START .................................................................................. You need to visit Canterbury Commons and find new "Restored House". Talk with "Spare Parts" bot, he will ask you to deal with new "bad neighbors" there. After that you have 2 options: You can immediately kill "neighbors" OR talk with their leader. If you choose to work for them, you will unlock main quests of this mod. By eliminating all "neighbors" you will only get new house, but other quests, features and "restoration" of Canterbury Commons will be locked for you. Choose wisely. BUGS AND CONFLICTS .................................................................................. This mod brings major changes to Canterbury Commons, so most of the other "Canterbury overhauls/quests/redesigns" and etc won't be compatible or will cause CtDs. I can't test all of them. As for technical issues, original mod has "4 deleted navmeshes which can not be undeleted", so you were warned. CREDITS .................................................................................. My deepest gratitude to mogalkov_i (MogIlA) for making this quest/player house mod. I'm only trying to revive this project for foregin audience by providing actual translation. All rights and praises to original creator

    Summer Effect English Version

    Version 1.0.0

    1 download

    Decide the fate of a mysterious girl and uncover the secret of a familiar organization. Finally with full English translation. This mod was originally created and uploaded by stalker992 back in 2010. 13 years later I contacted him and received full permission to translate and upload this decent quest. EffectSummerEPPatch.7z - Optional Patch by Mojodajojo. If you have constant CtDs - try it out! (you will still need main files and put patch UNDERNEATH main plugin in your load order!) WHAT TO EXPECT .................................................................................. 1) 1 new side quest (around 1-1,5 hours to complete all objectives); 2) Different endings and at least 2 options in every dialogue for "good" and "evil" playthrough; 3) New armor and weapon types; 4) Option to get new unique companion with good amount of dialogue lines (one of the available endings); 5) By using speech checks you can skip some parts of the quest (it's your choice after all); 6) BONUS: I didn't cut original Russian voice lines. HOW TO INSTALL (Again, I got all permissions to upload main files, so you won't need anything else) .................................................................................. 1) Download archive and put all files in Data folder (select "Replace" if it's necessary); 2) Activate EffectSummer.esp with any mod manager: Also you can find translated ReadMe file in the main archive. If you will stuck in "one particular part" of the quest, you can find hints in ReadMeENG. HOW TO START .................................................................................. You need to visit Canterbury Commons and use "Wait" option (new NPC will find you). After that the quest will start automatically. Don't bring any followers in the "Maze" sequence, otherwise you may encounter problems. BUGS AND CONFLICTS .................................................................................. Should be compatible with pretty much any other mod list. This mod is absolutely playable from start to finish and shouldn't conflict with most popular quest mods. CREDITS .................................................................................. My deepest gratitude to stalker992 for giving me permission to revive this nice quest for foreign players.

  5. Version 1.1

    Over 1300 lines of dialogue, new caravan system, several new quests, new settlements. Old forgotten mod finally with full English translation. This translation was done with the help by Yu_schwarz's previous Russian version of this mod (which I used as a "starting point" for my English translation). Technically speaking, this time I made "translation of translation" of original mod since my knowledge and skills are limited only to Russian, Spanish and English. WHAT TO EXPECT ................................................................................. 1) New upgraded caravan system (join and protect travelers for caps and loot); 2) Around 3-4 hours to complete main and side quests (6 quests in total); 3) Several new weapon types and outfits; 4) Improved NPCs traveling system with random events (very customizable with many options for your preferences); 5) New big settlements with unique stories and landscape; 6) New bank system; 7) Optional recruitable companions; 8) Different endings and choices in main questline; HOW TO INSTALL (YOU NEED ORIGINAL MAIN FILES!) .................................................................................. This time I can only provide translation files for this mod. I know that website which was included in Living Wasteland original description doesn't work anymore, so you will have to find original files somewhere else. (Believe me, it's not that hard, just use Google) 1) Download original archive and put all files in Data folder; 2) Replace original .esp and .esm files with my translated version; HOW TO START .................................................................................. After activating Living Wasteland you will receive configuration tool in your Pip-Boy. Try to adjust settings for your playstyle. Then just try to find caravans and visit big cities. You'll understand how to start different side quests after that. BUGS AND CONFLICTS .................................................................................. Even though it is a massive new update for vanilla game, it should be compatible with most other big mods which didn't alter caravans. And you can use this mod even in your mid-playthrough. All quests are fully playable from start to finish without any critical bugs. CREDITS .................................................................................. My deepest gratitude to Yu_schwarz for giving me permission to use Russian translation as a foundation for my English version. Special thanks to fabalpet (Nuclear Modding) for creating original Living Wasteland modification. All rights and praises only to original creator! And I will delete this file by his request (if he will contact me). Original Mod Page

    Faregyl Village

    Version 2.0.13

    2023 downloads

    Feeding the empire, one roast chicken... or pork chop... or rabbit steak at a time! Cyrodiil demands MEAT! Ever notice how there's no real farming presence in Cyrodiil? Except for some really small isolated places, there's perhaps one major operation going on outside of Skingrad. And they make wine. Wine is great and all, but where do folks get the meat? I mean the good meat. Chicken, pork, rabbit. We have plenty of mutton, but, well, mutton can only go so far before it gets old. There's also a noticeable lack of traditional crops being grown anywhere on any kind of meaningful level. So I got bored while thinking about this and decided it was time to do something about it! I searched high and low and found only a small number of farming mods. The usual. Sheep, sheep, sheep, and oh, more sheep. Wonderful. Got the mutton sources covered now. So I'm attempting to fill in some of the gaps. There were a number of other good farming mods but they all landed in locations that were less than ideal, at least for my game. The UL team has someone working on a grand implementation out by Anvil, so I figured on letting them take care of that. So why Faregyl? What's so special about this place? Nothing really. When I scouted for locations it wasn't used by anything I could find. So I figured it was as good a place as any to stick some small farming operations. This mod adds a pig farm, chicken farm, rabbit farm, some traditional crops, and a local smithy to the Faregyl area. Instead of an isolated sleepy old inn, now there's a useful farming village to help sustain the population. Each farm is owned by an NPC who has a work schedule and a normal eat/sleep schedule. Don't try and mooch off the stuff though. Killing the livestock or stealing the crops is going to make someone angry if they catch you! There's also a local smithy who will repair gear and sell mundane supplies and equipment. He's got an ox to pull his cart, but the ox is mean. Don't mess with him. There's also two local legionaries who patrol the area to help keep the peace. And of course, the abandoned gold mine. Something the locals are reluctant to talk about.... Addendum for 2.x: If all you're looking for is a nice little village mod, you can ignore the quest and things will continue on their merry way. This mod was originally intended to be just that. A village with some nice atmosphere and a bit of a twist on the buildings. The mine quest as it was in version 1.x was an afterthought thrown together without much planning or direction. It is of course fun, and has some nice story elements and is worth the trip down there just to see it. Of course, as with all things of this nature, I couldn't resist tweaking and fiddling and have ended up creating something much more. So if you're into questing, the surest way to trigger things is to head for the mine. You may also get it as a rumor from elsewhere. If you've played through 1.x already, then you'll already have a pretty good idea of what's going to transpire. Things have been adjusted some and the quest is now tracked via the journal with actual logs. The story has been fleshed out more and is a lot more interesting. There's also a bit of cross-mod story telling going on. A mod called Pemberly Manor had some mention of one of the NPCs having holdings around Cyrodiil. One of which was the farms at Faregyl. I've incorporated this into things and not only are the farms owned by the NPC, but so was the mine. To say more would spoil. A word of warning - the quest now has some real consequences based on what you do and the decisions you make. The mine is no longer the end of the story. The state of the village itself can be affected. As you progress this should become somewhat obvious. It is also possible that you will not get to experience everything that's possible. Yes, some decisions can have dire consequences. Yes, you can be evil, and yes, you can screw things up even if you weren't planning to. This is an aspect of many games that Oblivion is lacking in. Most of your actions have no real impact on Cyrodiil. They will in Faregyl though. Of course, that means you can play through again with a different character and have a different outcome. Something else to keep in mind. Certain mods may influence the outcome of events depending on what their NPCs may do while in the village. Play your cards right and some of those extra NPCs may help you turn a bad situation around. Travelers from TIE come to mind as the most common examples. A few of them make regular stops in Faregyl and are generally friendly to the player. Influence from mods can also go bad if they place enemies near the area. You've been warned. Also a general caution. This has been the case since first release, but none of the villagers are marked essential. If they die, they die. I've made every effort to keep nasties away from the village by removing spawn generators but I can't cover everything.
  7. I run into a new issue (whatelse ) I was never aware of. My scripting knowledge is very limited and here I'm not sure what the OnInit function really does. I know that OnInit fires twice, tested that with a messagebox. The script is about follower mounting, when player mounts his horse or whatever: scriptName _RubyPlayerMountMonitorScript extends ReferenceAlias ;-- Properties -------------------------------------- actor property Ruby auto visualeffect property Effect auto faction property CurrentFollowerFaction auto actor property PlayerRef auto actor property Assan auto ;-- Variables --------------------------------------- actor Player ;-- Functions --------------------------------------- ; Skipped compiler generated GotoState ; Skipped compiler generated GetState function FollowerMount(actor myFollower, actor myHorse, String asEventName, Float afTime) form EquippedItemLeft = PlayerRef.GetEquippedObject(0) form EquippedItemRight = PlayerRef.GetEquippedObject(1) if myFollower.IsInFaction(CurrentFollowerFaction) == 1 as Bool if myFollower.GetActorValue("WaitingForPlayer") == 0 as Float if EquippedItemLeft as Bool || EquippedItemRight as Bool if asEventName == "tailHorseMount" debug.SendAnimationEvent(Ruby as objectreference, "IdleForceDefaultState") myFollower.OnAnimationEvent(none, "tailHorseMount") Effect.play(myHorse as objectreference, 0.300000, none) myHorse.MoveTo(myFollower as objectreference, 50.0000 * math.sin(myFollower.GetAngleZ() + 90.0000), 50.0000 * math.cos(myFollower.GetAngleZ() + 90.0000), 0.000000, true) utility.Wait(0.100000) myFollower.SetAnimationVariableBool("bIsRiding", 1 as Bool) myFollower.EvaluatePackage() endIf if asEventName == "tailHorseDismount" Bool dismountInitiated = myFollower.Dismount() myFollower.SetAnimationVariableBool("bIsRiding", 0 as Bool) myFollower.EvaluatePackage() endIf else return endIf endIf endIf endFunction function OnInit() ; Debug.Messagebox("Script running") utility.Wait(5.00000) Player = game.GetPlayer() self.RegisterForAnimationEvent(PlayerRef as objectreference, "tailHorseMount") self.RegisterForAnimationEvent(PlayerRef as objectreference, "tailHorseDismount") endFunction function OnAnimationEvent(objectreference akSource, String asEventName) if akSource == PlayerRef as objectreference self.FollowerMount(Ruby, Assan, asEventName, 0.300000) else return endIf endFunction This script is attached to the alias of my follower Ruby in a script started quest. It works very good. With Alternate Start from Arthmoor activated. With only vanilla Skyrim it works very good. Until I open racemenu with the console and change my character. After closing racemenu, script is no longer working. I tested without MO. I tested without changing character, saved the game, shut down, load the game and the save and script runs fine. So it must have to do with racemenu (not the mod racemenu! I don't use). I tested on a start enabled quest. Same result, script stops working. What happens here and what can I do to make that work? And a second problem occurs: I wrote my playerhorse now follows fine again, but that is only partially true, like I just now discovered. It works fine if I use Alternate Start. When I use only vanilla Skyrim, the NPC walks away as soon as I tell her to wait. The horse stays, like she should. A script changes the wait globalvariable to 1, package stack is evaluated for horse and npc and the stay package has the wait globalvariable set as condition as well as a quest stage set. There is no package everywhere that could fire in this quest stage. Why does it work with Alternate Start? And not with vanilla? It's really tiring. Your suggestions are much appreciated. Update: Playerhorse now behaves correctly. CK didn't save my property and I overlooked it.

    "They say time is the fire in which we burn." Dr. Tolian Soran surely must have been thinking of the Bruma Mages Guild when he said that to Captain Picard. For the guildhall burns in the eternal fire for all time. Or, at least it did! If you're like me, the ever-burning fires in the Bruma guild are an annoying consequence of the guild quest. I could see not doing something about rebuilding it immediately, but to just leave it sit? And with fires that never go out? That's silly. Upon teleporting in with a character who had already completed the quest line, I was reminded once more that I really REALLY wanted to do something about this. Now that I can, I have. The guildhall will undergo a staged reconstruction. The first two stages happen on their own, with no intervention. The fires will be put out, and the damaged rubble later cleared. The last two stages will not proceed until asked for, either by you asking Traven about it or by you ordering the reconstruction yourself once you become Arch-Mage. You can keep track of the progress by checking with Raminus Polus. He will handle getting new furnishings in and hiring new recruits. You will not be required to pay for this yourself. Due to technical issues involved in using the vanilla destroyed guild cell, the mod is forced to use a new cell for the rebuilding phases. All attempts to remove the noise left behind by the fires have failed. The only solution being to occupy a cell where those fires never existed OR to play a game with just this mod and Oblivion.esm loaded. Hardly ideal. Keep this in mind if you drop stuff in the burning hall, because you won't be able to retrieve it.

    This is a work-in-progress quest mod for Oblivion. I've been working on it for ages. Requires OBSE, and you should probably also have Elys Universal Silent Voice. It's an alpha, which means that it's to be used for constructive feedback -- not on saves you intend to keep. Feedback thread with more information here.
  17. Plot: The civil war of Skyrim was over, with the assassination of Emperor Titus Mede II as its ultimate result. The emperor's heir, Prince Julius Mede, had ascended the throne as the new emperor of this dusking nation, who would soon increase the empire's tension with the An-Xileel that governs the Black Marsh, and cause further conflicts with the Aldmeri Dominion down south; while High Rock's nobility had plunged the province into starvation and chaos, and Skyrim had yet to recover from the war that plagued the realm, Cyrodiil was left alone. As the politicians and nobles worried and planned for their own safety in the wars to come, the new emperor focused only on the search for an Elder Scroll, lost to the ages, buried in a ruin that had never been marked on maps and in history. The reason behind his search was unknown, but if one thing was certain, it would be that this Elder Scroll bears knowledge that can change the understanding of the people towards this very world. Julius Mede's search shall led the hero of Skyrim to the summit of the White-Gold Tower. There, the two shall confront each other; there, the hero of Skyrim shall unveil their true and final destiny; there, the fate of the world shall be decided; and there, the gods shall have their final tournament in this arena. In this story, the hero of Skyrim will learn of their true identity as Shezarrine, the mortal incarnation of Lorkhan, and bear the burdens and powers that this title would bestow them. The player will travel with Onmund, an aspiring and intelligent mage, in their journey for the Elder Scroll that Emperor Julius Mede desperately wanted; as the Elder Scroll would hold the key to all answers regarding Shezarrine's final destiny. Other details: The theme of this story is generally dark, grim, and mysterious, and there would be a great deal of freedom provided to the player regarding dialogues and choices in quests. In this mod, you can roleplay to your liking, and interact with the characters however you desire. I have written a certain extent of philosophy and ideology in the story, however, players who find that boring can definitely ignore them, while the players who are interested can discuss and even debate that with the characters, and that's one of the keypoints of my mod - freedom. This mod rewrites Onmund, effectively making him a follower with 3000 lines and a unique personality. Onmund will be one of the five key characters in the story, with the other four being Emperor Julius Mede I, the son of the late emperor Titus Mede II; The High Archon, leader and founder of the third Aldmeri Dominion; Ingvi, the sister of Onmund; and the player themselves. The story takes place after the end of the Skyrim Civil War, the Dark Brotherhood and the College of Winterhold questline, which makes this mod a post-ending quest mod, i.e. the true ending. Logically, I'd list the completion of the main quests (Alduin questline) as one of the requirements to begin the story, but I understand a great deal of people are using alternate start mods, which effectively remove them from the identity as a Dragonborn. I would make this mod compatible with the idea. A great deal of (1) the conflicts between men and elves, (2) the world state of Tamriel, are mentioned in the dialogues and background infos, but the arch scope will be about the civil war of Aetherius. What you can do in this mod: 1. Unmake the empire 2. Unmake the Aldmeri Dominion 3. Destroy the world 4. Save the world 5. Become ruler of the continent 6. Help the Dominion in its way of conquering all lands except the Black Marsh (No soul can defeat the An-Xileel in its domain, this will be explained in the story) 7. Kill 1 or 2 gods (the number depends on your choice) 8. Befriend, antagonize or romance a follower with comprehensive background and personality, who is the key to all events in this mod 9. Kill the emperor and the High Archon, the leader of the Aldmeri Dominion 10. Crumble the final Tower What you might not be able to do in this mod (meaning either I have no similar plans or I am unable to do due to technical constraints): 1. Travel to new lands (this mod will work like Hearts of Stone of TW3; not just because it would be better for this mod's storytelling, but also because I suffered angst and helplessness, as well as emotional pressure while I attempted to create new zones in Creation Kit) 2. Actually rule Tamriel as its ruler (if you get the ruler ending; because your freedom would be greatly reduced should you become a ruler, which is impractical for Skyrim's game mode) 3. Get tons of fight (this mod mainly focuses on conversations; though you can fight and kill 99% of this mod's characters and still progress the story) 4. Have epic side quests (NOT side content; the follower will have thousands of dialogues about things other than the mod's main story) Conditions of starting this mod: 1. Have NOT joined the College of Winterhold (a new save is recommended because the follower has remarks on almost EVERYTHING of vanilla game as well as DLC) 2. Join the College of Winterhold after installing the mod Conditions of starting the questline: 1. Complete the College of Winterhold questline (the whole story DEPENDS on the outcome of the College of Winterhold questline) 2. End the Skyrim Civil War (MIGHT NOT be a requirement in the finished product; currently, certain parts of the story depends on the outcome of the CW, but since CW itself is so lame yet long thus shuneed by practically everyone, I'm considering deleting the parts related to CW outcome so that completion of CW will not be necessary) 3. Destroy the Dark Brotherhood OR finish the Dark Brotherhood questline (for sometimes before we usher in the new, the old must be put to rest) Though the completion of other questlines (Alduin, DLCs, Daedric) is unnecessary, there will be tons of dialogues and scenes that result from their completion; for example, the High Archon (leader of Thalmor) will say "killing Alduin is a mighty deed, but insignificant compared to the task ahead"; another example being you asking if you can use the Ancestor Moth method to read a new Elder Scroll obtained during the mod, given you've completed that certain quest of Dawnguard; the most notable feature is that, you can use Bend Will on characters in many occasions, opening new paths and possibilities for the story. The theme of this mod will be grim. You shall not find sunny-optimism in the story - Tamriel is at its darkest age ever since the Interregnum. The author of the story is not a fan of optimism nevertheless. I've been asking for help in place creation and modeling for months with no one actually offering to help. Though the processes of place creation and modeling almost made me want to kill myself and be done with it, and I've thought about giving up modding and perhaps quitting video games (that's what these two things had done to my mind a few months ago; makes no sense, but that's what angst and total desperation are), what was started must be finished. I don't know if anyone would ever join me in this mod's creation, but it will be completed regardless - what might change is the quality and finishing time of the final product. Features: Estimated to have more than 8000 lines in total, with about a half being Onmund's. Multi-arch questline. New locations. (the biggest and probably one of the only 2 problems I have for now) Numerous options in the adventures. Fully-voiced. Progress: Writing and CK implementation 60% done. Level designing 10% done. (It's very difficult for me, and I've already tried my best to do it) Asking for: 1. Level designers with CK experience 2. Modelers 3. Texture artists What you can gain by lending your hands in this mod: 1. Experience 2. My eternal gratitude and friendship Contact: gahatimdragon@hotmail.com (Email or Skype) anbeegod#9578 (Discord) Some screenshots of the stuff made (my major strength is writing, level designing isn't my strong suit)

  19. Hi guys, After the Institute ending, I can't give to Shaun the items needed to create the . Even after several days of waiting. The dialog won't start and Shaun only says customary platitudes... tips: when I talks to him right after , he give me the holotape, and ask me an item, but any quest is added... (maybe not a bug, I didn't try w/ other faction, due to a lack of savegame). This is not actually gamebreaking, but really annoying, cus it's the last thing I would to do before starting DLCs. By the way, great job on patches!!

  20. Modding Workshop: My First Quest Welcome to the Modding Workshop: My First Quest. In this tutorial we will be discussing how to create a lore-friendly quest using existing NPC's and recorded dialogue and how to package it properly for upload. We will briefly discuss item creation, triggers, and scripting, but this workshop will not cover every aspect of these topics, only what is needed for this task. Coming into this tutorial, you should already be familiar with the basics of navigating the Creation Kit and some knowledge of Papyrus syntax. Part I: Tools You're going to need several tools for this job in addition to the Creation Kit. BSAopt - Allows you to view the contents and extract from Skyrim BSA and ESM files. Voice File Reference Tool - Allows you to view and search the voice files from Skyrim without needing to extract them and shows file name, dialogue, and voice type. Unfuzer CPP Edition - Allows you to decompress FUZ files from Skyrim to WAV and LIP and compress WAV and LIP files to FUZ. Wrye Bash - Takes care of most of the hoop jumping needed to get your mod packaged for release to Steam. Not necessary for other mod sites who allow uploads of loose files. TES5Edit - Shows you what files are included in your mod and how they are interacting with their respective masterfiles and/or other mods. Useful for finding mistakes and conflicts. Experimental. Clean Saves - make your own or use my resource. Probably both. You'll want saves made at key points around the area and time frame in game that you'll be modding. For example - if your quest doesn't start until after a certain event, make a clean save before and after that event. This way you will be able to test if your quest triggers properly even if a downloader installs it on a game that has already passed that checkpoint. Notepad ++ - Text documents on steroids. Infinitely helpful for scripting. It numbers lines, helps you line up indented code properly. Such nice, much syntax. Tools you should already have Skyrim - Downloaded from Steam or installed from a disc. I recommend making a shortcut to this directory. You'll be going here a lot. Creation Kit - Downloaded from Steam and installed into the same folder as Skyrim. Archive.exe - comes with the Creation Kit (I believe) and is also in the same folder as Skyrim. Used with Wrye Bash to package a mod for upload to Steam. Useful Console Commands - These are indispensable for testing a custom quest to ensure it is functioning properly since almost all of what a quest does is behind the scenes. Open the console with the tildé (~) Commands contained in <brackets> indicates a variable that must be specified. Page Up and Page Down keys can be used to scroll up or down the Console gui getstage <quest ID> - returns the current stage of the quest movetoqt <quest ID> - moves you to the location of the current target of the quest, eg. where the map marker is pointing. setstage <quest ID> <stage #> - manually sets the stage of a quest. Won't help much if the quest hasn't yet begun. sqs <quest ID> - Shows quest stages in a quest and if a stage has been achieved. sqo - Shows a human friendly list of active and completed quest objectives for currently active quests. resetquest <questid> - Sets all quest stages in a quest to 0. coc <cell ID> - teleports the player to the cell specified. player.moveto <reference ID> - teleports the player to the reference specified, eg. an NPC or unique item. Part II: Preparation Now that you have your tools there are a few things you will need know more about. Script Fragments - used by a quest to determine how it behaves, when objectives are displayed/completed, when dialogue occurs, quest completion and advancement, ect. The Creation Kit has a default prefix it attaches to all fragments. For convenience you will want to change this default to be able to tell your own script fragments apart from original ones. To do this go to File>Preferences>Scripts>Fragment File Prefix in the CK window and fill it in with something that makes it yours. Hit Apply. Use the same prefix for any files you create inside your mod! This will help you locate them in the Object Window and elsewhere. You also need an outline for your quest. Each bullet in your outline will become a Quest Stage.Quest Begin Stage 0 The quest has started but the Player has not spoken with Archmage Savos Aren Quest Objective Assigned Stage 10 The Player has spoken with Savos Aren or is the Archmage Quest Completion Stage 20 The Player completed the previous Objective and ended the quest The beginning of a quest is always invisible to the player. Without the quest having already begun quest objectives cannot be assigned. Quest dependent dialogue, items, events, and anything else included in your quest will not be enabled and quest stages cannot be advanced. Part of quest creation will be determining how your quest will start. Will it start when the game starts (Unbound)? Will the player find a long forgotten tome that leads them to your quest (Rebel's Cairn)? Will they walk into a room ( The Golden Claw)? Will it be a combination of these things (Boethiah's Calling)? Quests that start when the game starts can be a strain on someone's save game and even corrupt it over time. Reading a book requires the creation and placement of said book and making sure the player knows how to find it in your mod description. Picking up an item has similar problems. Walking into a room, however... Can be done easily. I recommend using an interior cell to minimize conflicts with other mods and finding an interior cell your player will have to pass through during normal game play in order to complete your quest. Then you need to know how many objectives there will be - ours only has one objective. You can always add more and once you know how to manage one, adding more is simple. And lastly you need to end your quest which is more complex than it sounds. More on this later. Part III: Turning on the Creation Kit You thought I'd never let you. Well, now's your chance! We're finally ready. Turn on the Creation Kit and load the Skyrim.esm only. The default settings on the Creation Kit do not allow multiple master files to run simultaneously. It is possible, but not covered here. Starting the Quest: This tutorial quest involves only locations and NPC's from the Mage's College. There's no reason for this quest to begin running silently in the background until the player is there so we will put our quest's jump start in the Hall of Elements - the first interior cell in the Mage's College the player will enter. Find it in the Cell View window under Interior World Spaces and double click it to load it in the Render Window. We want the player to activate our quest as soon as they enter the room and the easiest way to do that is with a trigger. You'll need to be able to see Triggers to do this so enable them by hitting "M" on your keyboard. Your view should be of the main entryway of the Hall of Elements. Notice the big orange box taking up the entire room. This is a trigger. We're not going to use it though, except as a nice large object to create our own trigger around. Triggers when created will appear in the render window around an object that is selected so click on the big orange box. When you do you'll notice MG06SceneTrigger will now be highlighted in the Cell View window in the loaded cell's object list. Look for the Create Trigger button on the top bar of your Creation Kit Window and click it. A new window will pop up asking you to select a form. Double click NEW and name your new trigger. VainSQTrigger = My modder prefix, what my trigger is for (Sorcerer's Quest), and that it's a trigger. A good naming convention will be vital for what we're doing due to the sheer number of almost identical things involved in a quest. Once we reach dialogue creation you'll understand more. Hit okay and a nice friendly box will appear that is your new trigger! Looks complex but the only thing you do here is add a script to it. Just like with the trigger select [New Script] and name it something sensible. Since we're adding it directly to the trigger the CK has politely filled in what our script extends already for us. From Papyrus 101 you should know basic script construction. Declare Properties at the beginning, put in your events and conditionals, end everything properly and COMPILE. Now we get to use Notepad++! This should open up your script in Notepad++. If it doesn't, you'll need to go and make Notepad++ the default editor for .psc files. The only line that should be visible is the first line. You'll have to fill in the rest. Here's a good example - Here's a rundown of what you're looking at with this script. AND SAVE! Once you have saved you can now compile it. In the main CK window there's a drop down menu for Gameplay. On it is the Papyrus Script Manager and this is where you compile. If your syntax is correct a box will pop up for a moment and then disappear. If you have any mistakes then the compiler will throw errors at you until you fix them. They are usually helpful errors such as "Missing L Paren at 31, 2" which means you forgot a left parenthesis on line 31 column 2. This will not tell you if your script does anything, it will only check to make sure that your syntax is correct. And that's all we'll do with this for now. Once our script has an actual quest to refer to we can come back and make sure the properties we set fill properly. The last bit of setup is placing the quest objective. The objective is an amulet in the Archmage's Quarters. In the Object Window under Items>Armor>AmuletsandRings find one you like the look of, duplicate it, and rename it to stick with your naming convention. Then load up the Archmage's Quarters in the Render Window and drag the amulet into the room. Edit it and select Don't Havok Settle (so it won't go flying or get shouted into a wall) and UNCHECK Respawn. What's the point of making a unique amulet you can only get with this quest if it keeps coming back? Part IV: Creating your Quest Now that everything is set up for our quest we need to actually make the quest. Go to Object Window>Character>Quest and make a new one. A huge box appears. Lots of tabs, lots of nonsense, lots of bugs. Section A: Quest Data Nothing's filled in yet, tabs are missing, and a box is check that we don't want checked! Start Game Enabled: Almost completely broken. It doesn't actually work. This is why we created a trigger a little bit ago to start the quest. Vanilla quests using this mechanic are already encoded properly which is why they work. This check box should cause the CK to generate a file to do what it says and there is a way to manually do so, but it makes packaging and updating your mod more annoying and the more loose files you have the harder it will be for players to install. Run Once: does just what it says. It means that this is not a repeatable quest (Chop Wood). We can go ahead and leave this checked. This also makes resetting the quest impossible so keep this in mind during testing. ID: The Creation Kits reference for our quest. Anything referencing a quest will use this. VainSQ Object Window Filter: determines where our quest appears in the Object Window of the CK. Leave it blank and it will be on the first page with a ton of other quests. Fill in your modder prefix to have it create a new subsection of Quests just for yours! *Note: This will not take effect until you reload your plugin. The rest of this little group of boxes and windows determines where, how, and if our quest is displayed in the quest journal. Quest Name: The name of the quest as it will appear in the player's quest list.Quests of Type "Miscellaneous" will never display their quest name and so don't need one. Quests which have no objectives also will never display their quest name anywhere and don't need a Quest Name. Priority: Determines how dialogue is assigned. All dialogue is managed by quests. You may encounter issues where dialogue won't appear during certain quests if the priority on that quest is higher than yours. Frankly, you will want your quest a lower priority than the Main Quest (10) and equal to or greater than the priority of Miscellaneous quests (60). Shouldn't matter much. Event: Since Start Game Enabled is both broken and likely to make our quest cause save data corruption we have to use either an event or a script to start it manually. A script using the Start, SetStage, or SetObjectiveDisplayed commands will do just that. Using an Event to handle the beginning involves a more complex trigger called a Story Manager Event Node. Due to the complexity and the one-trick-pony nature of SM Event Nodes we'll stick with the Script/Trigger combination. Warn on alias fill failure: Just ignore this. Allow Repeated Stages: This is how the game manages quests like Lycanthropy and Vampirism where the transformation sequences can happen over and over again. Our quest will be once and done so ignore this. Type: This is how you choose what icon is displayed next to the quest in the player's quest list. If it's set to Miscellaneous your quest will only appear and be tracked with the Miscellaneous quests. This is what we're going to do for this quest since it is tiny and has no real impact on gameplay. Recompile All Papyrus Scripts: Saves you a trip to the Papyrus Manager and does all scripts attached to your quest in one fell swoop. Use to double check that all scripts have been compiled so that their changes will take effect. And we're not even going to use any of these... Export Quest Dialogue: Export Scene Dialogue: Calculate Voice Assets: Quest Conditions: Just another reminder - leave this blank. This locks everything else in the quest to only respond to any conditions set here. Much easier to manage each part of the quest separately. Text Display Globals: Hit Okay. Be sure to hit OK and save after you finish on each tab. The Creation Kit can crash without warning! Open your quest again. More tabs have appeared! We're going to go on to the next one... Section B: Quest Stages Index: Each stage has an index number from 0 to 65535. Our quest is only three stages long so we'll create three new stages number 0, 10, and 20. Start Up Stage: When a quest begins, no matter how - stages marked with this will run as well. With Stage 0 selected, we want this to be checked. Shut Down Stage: Stages marked with this run when the quest ends. With Stage 20 selected, we want this to be checked. Keep Instance Data From Here On: This checkbox was introduced with version 1.5.24.0 of the Creation Kit. It does something complicated we won't be using. Log Entry|Conditions: This is what will appear in a player's journal entry for a quest. As the quest progresses only the most recent entry is displayed. This will not show up on a Miscellaneous quest but we will need to add entries for any stages we are going to put a script on. The only stages will will be running a script on are Stage 10 and 20. Create a New entry for each of these stages and move over to the... Papyrus Fragment/Advanced: Also referred to as Result Scripts on this tab. These scripts run when the quest stage they are linked to is called. For stage 10's log entry we want the objective for this stage to appear when this stage is called so type SetObjectiveDisplayed(10) and compile. It'll take a second or two. Move to stage 20's log entry now and give it the script SetObjectiveCompleted(10). When the quest advances to stage 20 the objective we assigned in stage 10 will now complete. Seems a bit backwards, but trust me. It all works... more or less. Once we've done that feel free to nip over to the Advanced tab and see the name of your script fragments! Now you see what the Fragment File Prefix setting does. You can rename the script from here if you like, delete it, or regenerate it. You'll also notice that while each stage is compiled separately - the same script is being used for all stages. Complete Quest: If this box is checked, that stage will trigger the "Quest Completed" message, and move the quest from the active to completed portions of the player's quest list. This doesn't stop the quest from running. With stage 20 selected we want this checked. Fail Quest: The same as Complete Quest, but triggers the "Quest Failed" message. Next Quest: Does... absolutely... nothing. Conditions: Don't touch this. These must all be met before the quest stage they are tied to will run. Section C: Quest Objectives Objective Index|Display Text: This is what will appear on screen when a script calls SetObjectiveDisplayed and what will be listed in the Journal for the objective, even for Miscellaneous quests. There is one objective in this quest so we will make a new one. Quest Objective Data: This section is where we actually fill in the details of an objective's index number and display text. Index: This is the number scripts look for to know which objective you mean. Like SetObjectiveDisplayed(10) will display whichever objective is numbered as 10. Which happens to be what we told it to do so number this objective 10. Display Text: Fill this in with something lore-friendly like Search the Archmage's Quarters and click anywhere. If the big box on top is still blank... make sure you have the empty objective selected before editing the Objective Data section and do it again. ORed With Previous: When checked, if this objective and the previous one are both displayed, they will appear in the interface as a single objective (automatically combined with an "or" in between). Also, if one of a group of ORed objectives is completed, the whole "group" of objectives will be marked complete in the interface (Blood on the Ice). I can't stand having incomplete objectives in my completed quests so... please... do it for me. Quest Targets: Each target needs an alias (quest marker) and can have a set of conditions. We will come back to this section once we deal with the Quest Aliases tab because creating one here does nothing since there are no aliases to link it to. Target Ref|Conditions: Fills from the drop down menu of Quest Target Data when you create a new one. Quest Target Data: Drop down options are created on the Quest Aliases tab. Compass Markers Ignore Locks: If your quest target happens to be in a large building like a castle or stronghold where some doors may be locked but not others checking this will make the quest marker attempt to show the player the closest door rather than the closest unlocked door. Section D: Quest Aliases A Quest Alias is pretty much how you make map markers and objective markers that guide players to quest objectives and locations. It only appears if the player is tracking the quest and in our case it will also be on the item needed to complete the objective. The item the player needs to find is the amulet we placed in the Archmage's Quarters. Here order actually matters if you have more than one alias. This tab is actually very complex. We don't actually need to know that much about it to do what we're going to do. Create a New Reference Alias (it should be obvious if you need a reference or location alias... does the alias point to an item or a cell?) in the big empty box and wait... wait for it... waaaaait for it... Welcome to the box whose bottom you shall never see. No, I don't care how big your monitor is. Alias Name: Let's call it VainSAAlias Fill Type: This section gives us six different way to fill our alias when the quest begins. Which you choose really depends on what your alias is... Specific Reference: This can be memory consuming as the alias will always be loaded even when the quest isn't running, even when the player is nowhere near the quest object. Especially if it's something like an actor. Once a quest is running, all aliases for the quest behave this way. This is also the easiest way to go and what we're going to do for our amulet. Unique Actor: Obviously an amulet isn't really an actor so we won't worry about this. If you were using an actor as an alias their reference would have to have a Persist Location - setting up an actor like this isn't outlined in this tutorial but seemed good to mention. Location Alias Reference: Pick a Location Alias from this quest (must be higher in the list than this alias), and pick a Location Ref Type. When the quest starts, the Story Manager will attempt to find a matching loc ref type from that location to fill this alias. External Alias Reference: Select another Quest, and then a Reference Alias from that quest. When this quest starts, it will fill this alias with whatever is currently in the selected alias. Note* If the selected quest isn't running, or the selected alias is empty, or if the alias reference is inside a container (including an actor's inventory), this alias will fail to fill. Create Reference to Object: When the quest starts, a reference will be created using the selected base object. The new reference can either be placed at the same location as another Reference Alias (usually a marker), or in the inventory of another Reference Alias (which must be a container of some kind). Find Matching Reference: This option allows the Story Manager to find a reference from anywhere in the world (but only persistent references, or Unique actors, can be found this way outside the loaded area). The "Match Conditions" are used by the Story Manager to filter the potential choices. This also has a bunch of other options attached to it - In Loaded Area: This limits the search to the loaded area (a player's current interior cell, or the 5x5 cells around the player in a worldspace). Useful when you want something near the player. Closest: Only available when searching "In Loaded Area", this will cause the Story Manager to prefer the closest matching reference. (Otherwise it picks randomly from all matching references.) From Event: This is only available for quests which are started from an Event through the Story Manager - we used a script instead, remember? Near Alias: Select another Reference Alias on this quest - the Story Manager will run the conditions only on any references linked to that alias's ref. Make sure that a reference linked this way has no keyword attached! We also want to have the quest advance/complete when the amulet is picked up so we can either attach a script here or to the amulet directly. It's generally tidier if you keep scripts that will only run during a quest in the quest so add a new script here, make a new one and have it look something like this - Compile, Hit OK SAVE Part V: Dialogue Dialogue Views This is possibly the most difficult part of quest creation. Half of it is broken. We're not going to do anything on this tab until the very last possible second. Note* Conversations beginning from the NPC (Having them say "Yes, what do you want?" when activated or them initiating the conversation) will require that information placed here. But again... TO THE NEXT TAB! Section A: Player Dialogue In order to create fully voiced dialogue there are no less than THREE different programs in addition to the Creation Kit needed. Voice File Reference Tool (VFRT) - Allows you to look up dialogue in an easy to navigate GUI by word or file name without extracting anything. BSAopt - Allows you to extract BSA files - in order to use any dialogue (as with any vanilla file) you should duplicate and rename it and package it as part of your mod. This is how you do that. Requires Windows Vista or later. Unfuzer CCP Edition - Allows you to decompress the FUZ files for Skyrim's vanilla dialogue into LIP and WAV files and/or recompress LIP and WAV files into a FUZ. Your new best friend. You need to know how to use each of these programs for this next section. They are not difficult to use and do just about everything all by themselves. Dialogue Branch: Groups Topics together. They allow the dialogue system to:Organize and distinguish between dialogue trees. Each Branch represents a line of the conversation. Account for the fact that the player can enter and exit dialogue at any time, providing a means for the player to reenter an interrupted conversation. An individual branch can only have one NPC speaker and can have infinite topics attached to it. A new branch is required for every different NPC speaker. On the Dialogue Views tab color for these matters. Yellow = top level. Green = blocking. Blue = normal. Topic: Holds and organizes Infos. Info: NPC dialogue lines. Say Once: Buggy. Avoid when possible. Tends to break quests. Now that we're here we need to know a little more about the voice our NPC is using. The Archmage Savos Aren uses the voice type MaleCondescending. That jerk. Using this data we can use the VFRT to go through all the lines that voice type can speak and construct a conversation from them. Like the following: The .FUZ are the file names in the Skyrim - Voices.bsa - what we will be extracting with BSAopt. Go ahead and do this now. Using Shared Dialogue is supposed to be easier, but life is pain, Highness. Anyone saying otherwise is trying to sell you something. Now that we have our very stilted and contrived conversation structure, let's creat it! Create a new branch in the Branches section. The name that pops up is the name of your quest. If you hit OK the CK will remind you that it is already in use by the editor so add Branch1 to the end of it. Hit OK and another prompt for the first topic name pops up. Feel free to shorten it but make sure to number your topic. Do not delete your branch and remake it once you have created it. Reload your plugin instead. Deleting a branch doesn't delete it. Sometimes the CK can remove deleted items from plugins... usually not. More on that later. Now you can choose your topic subtype. This dialogue isn't a Rumor or a ForceGreet package so select Custom. With your topic selected, fill in the Topic Text (our player's first line) and create a new Info in the big box on the right. If you find you have to click twice sometimes, that is because the first click is the CK running a spellcheck on what you just wrote! Big friendly box! Can't do much here yet so hit OK! Woah... new box such big much options. Topic Text: The Topic Text inherited from the Info's Topic, if any. Can't be edited from this box has to be done on the Player Dialogue tab. Prompt: If left blank, the prompt leading to this Info will be the Topic's Topic Text. If filled in, this text will be used instead. Useful if your Topic Text instead contains a summary of what is being said instead of the actual dialogue. Speaker: Choose from a drop down list the NPC speaking this line. Share Response Data From Info: Select a SharedInfo ID to acquire the response lines from that Info. This allows you to reuse the same lines in multiple places. This is why shared dialogue is easier.The Filter box, immediately above the dropdown, filters the SharedInfo IDs by the text you specify. The elipses (...), immediately to the right, will open the selected SharedInfo form. Responses: The list of Responses (individual, sequential lines) that the NPC will say. Flags: Has LIP File: Whether the game should expect a lip-data file for this line. We're going to have these since our vanilla dialogue comes with .LIP files. On Activator: Not used. Say Once: If checked, this Info can only be said once by any given Actor. As with Run Once you only want to use it his if you never want the player being able to see this ever again. Goodbye: If checked, when this Info (line of dialogue) is completed, the conversation will end. Force Subtitle: If checked, the subtitle for this line will always be displayed, regardless of the player character's distance from the speaker. DOES NOTHING! WOOO! Random: If a Random Info qualifies, it isn't said immediately. Instead, the Info is put onto a stack. If the next Info is also Random, it's put on the stack. The stack keeps building until an Info that is not marked Random is found, or an info marked Random End is found. The final Info is then added to the stack, and one of the Infos is selected randomly. Can Move While Greeting: If checked, if this Info is a Hello, the Actor can continue to move while speaking the line. Has no effect on any other line. Random End: Used to mark the end of a set of Random Infos. Technically, Random End is only necessary if the next qualifying info is also Random. However, it's good practice to end all Random Info sets with a Random End. Spends Favor Points: Not used. Favor Level: Not used. Audio Output Override: Allows you to select an Audio Output Override. The most common use of this feature is to select a different audio falloff radius (for example, SOMDialogue3D8000), which will allow the dialogue to be audible at a much larger radius than usual. Hours Until Reset: After this line is spoken, the speaker will not say it again until the specified time has elapsed. Conditions: The conditions that must be satisfied before this line will be spoken. VERY IMPORTANT! I recommend: GetStage: Dialogue triggers on a specific quest stage or even disappears when another stage triggers. GetQuestCompleted: Dialogue goes away when the quest is done or won't trigger until a quest is completed. GetIsID: Dialogue will only be spoken by this actor - you don't want every bartender to say these lines meant only for the Archmage. Copy All Conditions and Paste Conditions right click options. Save you time if you have a conversation taking place with the same conditions. Link To: The next line of dialogue that will be spoken in the conversation. When this Info is finished:If there are no Topics in this list, or none of the Topics have a valid Info, the Actor's top-level Topic List will be displayed. If one or more Topics with valid Infos in this list, a Choice List will be presented, allowing the player to select the next Info. If Invisible Continue is checked, only one Topic may be placed in this list. When this Info is finished, the next Info will begin automatically; no player prompt will be displayed. If Walk Away is checked, the dropdown becomes enabled, allowing you to select one of the Topics from the list above. If the player backs out of this Info's Choice List, the Walk Away Topic will be spoken as dialogue ends. If Walk Away Invisible in Menu is checked, the Walk Away Topic will not appear in the Choice List. Scripts: Don't worry. These will be nothing as scary as the first script, more like the little objective scripts we made. Begin Script: This script runs when the Info is played, when the Actor starts saying the line. End Script: This script runs when the Info is finished, when the Actor finishes speaking. In practice, it may take a second or two after dialogue has ended for this script to trigger. Script Add/Remove/Properties: Allows you to add, remove, or edit the properties on any Papyrus scripts attached to this Info. Here's a good example: GetOwningQuest().SetStage(10) GetOwningQuest().SetObjectiveDisplayed(10) This tells the script to look at the quest it's assigned to (scripts are very stupid, have to be told everything) and what to do. I want the last Info in this conversation to advance the quest to Stage 10 and to display the Objective on the screen for the player. We're still making the first one so let's get back to that. Set the Speak to Savos Aren and set up your conditions. Condition == 1 means it has to be true. Once you're done make a new Response which will pop up in a new box. This box looks familiar! From our conversation outline we know Savos' first response to the player will be: Let's just hope it stays this way for a long time. Uncheck Use Emotion Animation and skip down to the Audio section. If you View Valid NPCS for this voice type only Savos Aren should appear. Hit OK and then open it up again. There should now be an entry for the audio file. Record a few seconds of silence to actually generate the file and SAVE. Note the file name and path. It will be something along the lines of: Data>Sound>Voice>Mod Name.esp>Voice Type>Filename.xwm Hit OK Now remember when we made our Branch it prompted us to make the first Topic? Right click in the Topic list and make a new one for each line our player will say. Four in all. Fill in the lines for both player and Savos as we did for the first topic and record a few seconds of dialogue for each and note each file name. Now we get to go through and use the Unfuzer on those extracted .FUZ files of ours... I recommend doing this one at a time as it is easy to get mixed up moving back and forth between files and folders so much. UnFuze the .FUZ files into their .LIP and .WAV files and rename them to their corresponding files in your mod's Voice Type folder and replace them. Once they are there, reFuze them. There is a rare bug where the Skryim engine will not play back files in a different format. Best to head it off. Don't forget the script on the last Info to trigger the quest to advance to stage 10! AND SAVE! 'Cause we're going back to the Dialogue View tab... Create a new View keeping the same name convention we've been using... and right click in the big empty field next to it. Select Insert Branch into current View and the branch we created should be the only thing on the list. Make sure Current Quest Only and Current Dialogue Type Only are checked and hit OK. That's all you have to do but if you want you can drag your different Topics around and see how they all connect. Check Show All Text at the bottom if you want - this is just for the editor. Hit OK. Now go back through all of your files and double check the scripts. You'll want to make sure that all the properties have filled properly (editing them and telling it to auto-fill should fix it, if not... you may have bigger problems). Note* Not all Creation Kit errors are nonsense! If you encounter errors when loading your plugin that are specific to your plugin then follow up on them! And you are done. Save. Go quest. Also - uploading to Steam is hard. Arthmoor has saved us! Arthmoor has pretty pictures on his tutorial.Find where Wrye Bash installed, usually something along the lines of Steam>steamapps>common>Skyrim Mods>Bash Installers From there create your mod's folder including all subfolders such as meshes, voice, scripts, ect. Copy all the loose files used in your mod into their appropriate subfolder (For scripts you only need the .pex files but can include the .psc files for documentation if you so choose) Now open Wrye Bash and switch to the Installers tab where Sorcerer's Silence (or whatever you named your mod) should show up and make sure it has no errors. Anneal if it says it's not in the proper state and Install Missing if it complains it's missing files. Open Archive.exe in your Skyrim directory and click on the ellipses (...) next to the Root Dir and find the mod folder we just made in the Bash Installers folder. Select Misc, Voices, Retain Directory and File Names. When in doubt on if you need a folder, check the box. The Archive will ignore folders you don't have box check or not. Leaving the Archive.exe open switch to the Bash Installers folder and drag all your files EXCEPT for the .esp into the Archive window. Now you want to Save As using the same name as your .ESP Now you can upload the .ESP and the .BSA to the Steam Workshop through the Creation Kit
  21. I noticed that an issue was fixed with the Dragonborn DLC quest "Pain in the Necklace," which allows the East Empire Pendants to respawn in the strongboxes. It appears as though this might be intended to be a never ending quest (similar to the Dark Brotherhood Forever), however I was wondering if it is possible to modify this quest so that after you turn in a certain number of them to Fethis Alor‎ (say 20, for example), if the miscellaneous objective could be set to be removed from your journal, but you could still collect the reward (gold) from Fethis if you were to turn in any additional pendants later on. This would be solely for the reason of not having a miscellaneous objective in the journal for the rest of the game. I realize this may go outside the bounds of the unofficial patch project, but does anyone have any thoughts on this?

    [RELz] A Brotherhood Renewed

    "The Cheydinhal Sanctuary is but one of many secret Dark Brotherhood safe havens spread across the Imperial Province." You've completed your contracts. You rose through the ranks. Lucien entrusted you with his life. After a long and difficult struggle, you saved the Dark Brotherhood from total annihilation. All that remains of the once proud and powerful organization are you, Arquen, and some lowly random murderer the two of you found. After all this you're satisfied with visiting Bravil once a week to collect a pittance of cash? Is there nothing more to be done? The story just ends here, like a bad movie? Not anymore. The time has come to reclaim lost power, to retake lost sanctuaries. To renew the Dark Brotherhood. This mod adds a short series of quests to the end of the saga of the Dark Brotherhood which takes place after your first visit to Bravil after becoming the Listener. I always felt that Bethesda cut things short at the end of the quest line. You're just supposed to continue on, as though nothing was wrong, after your entire organization was brought to its knees? What about all those sanctuaries out there the game makes a point of mentioning but you never see? This is my answer to that and at least brings things to a more sensible close by the time you are done. You may install this at any point during the game, it is not necessary to wait for the end of the quest line. In fact, some of the involved characters will exist and be out in the game world prior to everything turning for the worst. You may not even realize who they are when you find them. Once you have made it to the end of the quest line, visit the Night Mother statue in Bravil (and return to Arquen with the info) at least once. You will be approached by a courier after 7 days to start things off. Though be patient, he needs to find you somewhere public. My Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/arthmoor Downloads AFK Mods TES Alliance Installation Copy the ESP file, the meshes, textures, sound, and video folders to your Data folder. If asked to overwrite, do so, as many of my mods share resource files and will overlap safely. Just keep note if this should happen. Use of BAIN is strongly recommended as it keeps track of resource overlaps better. Uninstallation Manually remove the files installed. You will probably have to refer to the archive for that. Bear in mind that this mod may share resources installed by some of my other mods. Try not to delete stuff my other mods need If you used BAIN, just uninstall from the BAIN installers tab. It will keep track of what needs to stay behind. Compatibility There should be very few if any compatibility issues with the sanctuary locations except in cases where other mods might have edited the areas they connect to. Should be fully compatible with mods that alter the Cheydinhal Sanctuary - provided they do not remove Arquen from the game. No edits to any of the cities or outdoor worldspaces have been made. Must load after OOO to prevent conflict with one quest. Vaults of Cyrodiil: (works, but patch not practical, reason in spoiler) During the Chorrol quest, you get sent to the inaccessible part of Crumbling Mine. VoC places one of its treasure rooms there while deleting the floor parts needed for cleansing the Chorrol Sanctuary. Therefore the back door into Crumbling Mine drops the player into the void. You will need to go in through the normal entry to Crumbling Mine, make your way to the ruined wall, and VoC will offer to let you squeeze through to the other side. The vial containing the blood will be accessible this way. Or you can use the console TCL command to turn off collision before going through the back door, then just cheat-float to the treasure pile. Must be loaded after OOO to avoid a conflict with another portion of the Chorrol Sanctuary quest. Credits Cliffworms: Anvil Sanctuary. The-Manta: Bruma Sanctuary, Leyawiin Sanctuary, texturing work for the red welkynd stones. Dwip: Chorrol Sanctuary. Dialogue topics so DB members actually feel like DB members. DB follower handling.
