==Custom Assets== | |||
I would like to know about getting art from 3rd party apps into a custom quest. i.e. Custom meshes built in Maya and textures from Photoshop. -[[User:King Mango|King Mango]] 15:46, 8 February 2012 (EST) | |||
I also ( among many others ) am wondering about this.--[[User:Weallloveluna|Weallloveluna]] 21:05, 8 February 2012 (EST) | |||
Add me to that list of folks wanting this information. -[[User:JohnnyWing|JohnnyWing]] 22:50, 9 February 2012 (EST) | |||
It's possible to implement a new assest through the CK, but check the Nexus forums if you have any trouble importing the normals, and surface maps. I'm having trouble with this, as well, no direct file import for textures. --[[User:MitchelKnight|Quick before I take an arrow to the knee, give me the Glass Bowl of Zenithar. -Archangelus Mortimus]] 14:01, 14 February 2012 (EST) | |||
== Missing tutorials (have some things been taken for granted?) == | |||
Kia Ora | |||
I feel it would be nice and a great help to new modders if we had: | |||
1/ A tutorial explaining the CK preferences so people know what changes what and the results | |||
2/ The basics do not teach how to place (and have working) things like book case's that seem | |||
to need more that one item and have to be setup with what looks like a static and and activator | |||
:Great suggestions. Hopefully some of the more experienced modders will start adding various tutorials. I'll see about making one for changing existing perk trees (changing and adding new perks to them) this weekend. --[[User:Syneris|Syneris]] 22:32, 9 February 2012 (EST) | |||
== Lokir's Tomb entrance trouble == | |||
First off, I'm completely new at making mods, and not quite sure where to turn to for help with this. So, heres the problem; I've completed the Lokir's Tomb tutorial, but sometimes(not always) the '''NorDwelling02ExtBaseC''' and '''NorDwelling02ExtBaseB''' entrancepieces don't render, so all I see is a floating door(that works fine) and a couple of torches i put up. If I reload or travel to riverwood and walk back it sometimes fixes it, seems like about a 50/50% chance. Anyone know how to fix this? Any help is greatly appriciated!! Please forgive my spelling. | |||
Just wrote this up in the solutions section. Short answer: toggle Full LOD on for the static pieces. Also, make sure you add in <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> at the end of your post so we know who you are and when you posted :) [[User:Languard|Languard]] 15:23, 12 February 2012 (EST) | |||
Ok, thank you! [[User:IRaDiCaL Oo|IRaDiCaL Oo]] 19:30, 12 February 2012 (EST) | |||
== Description of Architecture/Dungeon kits == | |||
i.e. how to create a working interiors using pieces from various kits. I just spent a couple of hours trying to figure out large rooms of Solitude interior kit (SLgF*) and I thought it would be great if someone just wrote how to put those pieces together. Of course I'm a newbie, more expierenced modders probably don't have problems like that, but I guess there IS gonna be many newbies like me here. Actually I could even start a tutorial like this, describing how to correctly use pieces from this set to build a room. (I made it, it's on my user's page.) Ideally for each kit there would be a short description of every piece, a tutorial how to build with them, and a couple of advices that let you create more interesting rooms.

== Editing the Tutorial Index == | |||
A growing number of Community Tutorials have been written. | |||
I attempted to edit the Tutorial Index in order to add a link to [[:Category:Community Tutorials|Community Tutorials]] in the Miscellaneous section; however, it seems that it is not possible to edit the Tutorial Index. Or am I going about this the wrong way? {{unsigned|IcyDeadPeople|23:55, 21 February 2012 (EST)}} | |||
: Hey IcyDeadPeople :) | |||
: Category pages like this one list every page with the category in question. To add a category to a page, you need to insert something that looks liked this: <nowiki>[[Category:Tutorials]]</nowiki> | |||
: The Community Tutorials category already has the Tutorials category, so it appears under "subcategories". What is it exactly that you want to do? | |||
: P.S. Please sign comments on talk pages like this one with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> - this appends a signature and the date so we can tell who said what and when. | |||

Hi Cipscis, there is a Tutorial Index column which extends along the right side of the page. Under the sub-heading "Miscellaneous," I had hoped to add a [[Community Tutorials]] link to the list which currently includes "Customizing Weapons and Armor," "Solutions Center," "Glossary." It appears that the Tutorial Index section cannot be edited. [[User:IcyDeadPeople|IcyDeadPeople]] 00:41, 22 February 2012 (EST) | |||
:I was confused at the moment, since there are two similarly-named but entirely different tutorial index templates: [[:Template:TutorialIndex]] and [[:Template:Tutorial Index]] - you seem to be referring to the former. | |||
:You can go to either of these and just click the edit button. You can also edit templates another way: if you are editing a page that uses a template that you also want to edit, you can scroll to below the edit box, where you will find a list of all templates used by the page. There will be an "edit" link by each. But it's generally easier just to go to the template's page, and edit it. | |||
{{WarningBox|Beware, though, for templates are persnickety beasts, with cumbersome and unfriendly syntax. Once you've edited and saved one, it's best to check the pages listed as "what links here" for the template, to make sure your changes didn't break anything.}} | |||
:Who, me, overuse the box templates? Never! --[[User:Catwheezle|Catwheezle]] 17:42, 22 February 2012 (EST) | |||
:Great, thanks very much Catwheezle - added links for [http://www.creationkit.com/Category:Community_Tutorials Community Tutorials] and [http://www.creationkit.com/Category:External_Tutorials External Tutorials] [[User:IcyDeadPeople|IcyDeadPeople]] 19:57, 22 February 2012 (EST) | |||
== Tutorial Request == | |||
The one thing that I've never been able to figure out is how to create your own custom 3D models (preferably through Blender, since that's free) and get them into the game. If someone knows how to set this whole process up, I'd love to see a tutorial about it. And by the way, I have looked at supposed tutorial after supposed tutorial, and none of them are kept up-to-date. I'd also love to see tutorials demonstrating LOD.--[[User:Electrosheep|Electrosheep]] 22:51, 27 February 2012 (EST) | |||
@Electrosheep, you might want to review some of somuchmonster's tutorials, http://somuchmonsters.com/ also InsanitySorrow has a tutorial up on the TESalliance site http://tesalliance.org/forums/index.php?/topic/4634-3d-craftworks-importing-weapons-into-skyrim/ [[User:IcyDeadPeople|IcyDeadPeople]] 02:42, 29 February 2012 (EST) | |||
I would like to see Tutorials for the following: | |||
-Quests that change peoples disposition, so you can take items from their homes | |||
-actors that start dead under conditions (i.e. a dead stormcloak or imperial depending on who you choose to go with in the beginning) | |||
== Quest Tutorials description inaccurate (no intermediate example files actually provided) == | |||
"As with the level design series, these tutorials take you through a complete quest project, but example files are provided at each step." | |||
No, they aren't. Or at least I haven't been able to find them; they are definitely not in the same place as the ones for the level design series. I was trying to jump around and learn how to use the radiant system really quickly without going through the whole tutorial process, since I already have sufficient quest modding and programming experience. But I guess I can't. | |||
