wow  I been off for ever

LOL

Been having trouble with my internet service, typically can't stay on line more then 10 minutes before it goes out, the idiots at AT & T say I have to install new line.....
working on it...... in the meantime been doing some projects

This is part 3 of my Pocket World Project-  The Big City

This city is supposed to represent a typical large city as they are seen in the US of A,  it comes with it's own red lite district, retail stores, lavish estates and slums

This city is controlled by the Mob (Mafia type)  The Mob Boss lives high up in a large overkill lavish estate (don't have any images of it today
He controls all the gambling, prostitution, drugs, thieves...pretty much anything illegal

Here are a few screenies of the Red light area...  of course I am no were close to being finished but
And the sign is neon, it flashes just like you would see at a strip club

Been Busy being bored  

Working several projects, thought I'd catch up

Skill Books Quest

Made lots of Book covers,   covering a vast amount of knowledge for these new books and a small quest to go fetch them all... the books will provide a skill bonus
additionally the Divine Books and Legendary Books will also provide an Attribute Perks

I completed the Akatosh Ante Chamber (Which is where the higher valued books will be hidden)

I've made these chambers for each of the Divines and also am working on chambers for the Legendary Books

Enjoy  (CS Screeny)

Still on the books  

Made several interiors for this quest,  Royal Families.... Dragons, Dagoth Ur and Death Chambers,  most are all functional now, except 1 script kicking my butt ....(could always use help or advise on it )   Moving the Chest Lid... when the player has an item equipped, the script is written, but something is missing cause it don't work     anyways

here are a few

hmmm. sounds exactly opposite of an issue I had with a modathon entry I made a couple of years back. My problem was with a door that was supposed to open when the player had a specific item in their inventory. The door would open, then re-spawn ( after first de-spawning), and open again repeatedly. I beat my head off the wall for days before giving up, and asking for help, which I got almost immediately from Wolf. Let me see if i can find it.

Here is the script that fixed the door.

Code: Select all

Begin Earthdoor

short haskey

If ( MenuMode == 0 )
     if ( OnActivate == 1 )
             if ( player->GetItemCount m_earthicefree == 0 )
                     if ( haskey == 0 )                     
                             MessageBox "You do not have the item required to open this door."
                     else
                             Activate
                     endif
                   else
                             Activate
                             set haskey to 1
                    endif
     endif
endif


End Earthdoor

And here is another script from wolf that allows the use of one activator to play an animation for another activator if you can not get the first script to work. Just a thought.

Code: Select all

begin cPlusPlus
if ( MenuMode == 0 )
      if ( OnActivate == 1)
              if ( player->GetItemCount YOUR_ITEM > 0 )
                      YOUR_ACTIVATOR->PlayGroup, ANIM_NAME
              endif
      endif
endif
end cPlusPlus

I know the second option isn't exactly what you want, but you may have to use two activators to get it to work. maybe make the container one activator, and the lid another activator with the animation, extend the bounding box if you can of the container so you can not click the lid. Like I said it's just a thought though, and might be a pain in the rear.

[dietbob196045]

I'll see what I can do with your suggestions

let me show you what I did....  and so you know,  No errors in the CS or in game,  usually that indicates the script is viable.... not necessarily functional but at least it's written correctly for something   lol

I wrote this....   (with the timer)  BOTTOM IMAGE
I was told to remove the timer so I changed it to this.....   TOP IMAGE
I was told it should work, but if not to change the move to GETPOS    well it didn't work, so I removed the "float timer" and changed the MOVE to GETPOS
and that also didn't work

It's got me stumped

I got all the scripts to work    We is all happy again

Working on another Chamber for the Moons of Nirn Book

This one is one I wish I could record   everything moves  the Moons rotate and the stars rotate (though you'd have to stand their for some time to really notice)
The Celestial beings floating around are just retexture bull netch, they are harmless

Not quite done with it  :

Finished the Sotha Sil Book Chambers

Everything is working   horray

I could use another tester   anyone interested let me know

Enjoy

Is this just an expansion on Tribunal, or is it more? Are you putting book additions everywhere? What do you need tested?

[dietbob196045]

This is not a expansion it's a quest mod for special skillbooks which will provide both skill bonus via (teaching) and attribute bonuses via script
I have 9 books in total, covering various subjects such as Royal Families of Tamriel, Dragons, The Moons of Nirn... etc etc.    I haven't finished all the cells yet
7 so far about 80% complete, the book (s) narratives have not been written yet either, except the Moons of Nirn book as a test on the images which I still need to fix a bit

I have no dialogue or quest as of yet

Basically what I am looking for with regard to testing is a clean walkthrough,  new game set player level around lvl 20, give yourself armor and weapons acceptable for a level 20 character, go through the chambers looking for obvious issues, collision, gaps, ability to collect the books, and of course if the skills and attributes are actually applied to the character.....right now it is not so difficult

I have a cheat sheet which I will provide giving the locations of the chambers and anything special to do or avoid doing, this way your not roaming the vastness looking for the places you can just COE to the location.  Leo has already run through it once, but I'd like a second opinion and a critical one !!  Though it is just a "find the book quest"
I would like it to be somewhat challenging and a bit different

Let me know and I'll send it your way

Enjoy

[DonnerGott]

Phew. I don't have a dedicated clean build; I've got a modding build on one machine, and a play build on the other. I can test it on my play build, both with an existing PC and a new/tweaked lvl20 PC.

That will work, if your willing I will PM it to you,  I'll have to go over the Zip file, Leo did note that one of the books did not get picked up in the packaging
so I'll want to check that of course other then that I have not had any errors new game or saved, he did also note that casting spells inside the Royal Families Chamber didn't work so well, but I never had an issue with that

Are you using TESFiles to pack the mod? Sure, send it to me when you are ready, with any instructions you wish to add. At some point, I'll return the favor, if you'd like to test Capt. Jack for me.

Yes TESfile, which has a tendency to miss things  

I shall send...
Yes I've been waiting to test Capt. Jack for sometime, you were out for so long I wasn't sure what was going on.  

Thanks

Enjoy
Dietbob


*EDIT:  I sent it via PM @ 7PM TEXAS TIME (the only time)   let me know if you get it...  FYI 16MB compressed

[Drakkmore]

-snip-, if you'd like to test Capt. Jack for me.

O_O you're almost done with Jack. I might have to finally install MW ion my rebuilt machine so I can play with the meshes I made for you.        

Any way It's nice to see you back Donner, I hope you're doing well.

[DonnerGott]

Okay, I did not get the PM, and I could not load the CJS zip into the GHF system to PM you. Also, my DropBox does not seem to work, anymore. Pffthpt!

[dietbob196045]

Something definitely wrong,   I tried again sending via PM as soon as I selected to add the file the "compose window" closed

FYI  Dropbox doesn't seem to be working correctly either as you indicated

[Drakkmore]

I got the pm with the dropbox link. I have not yet downloaded (or attempted to do so), as I have yet to spend any time at my rebuilt computer yet.

I got the PM, but when I opened Dropbox, it said the file didn't exist  
Opinion  I am not a big fan of dropbox, I don't like how it moves my files around and is constantly sync'ing with my files, keeps my hard drive busy

If its acceptable to offer this:  Leo has a site and has given me 500MB of upload and download..... if you want to go that route  ?  
Here is the link: https://forum.sovngarde.se/realm/index.php   
You'll have to register and let me know when your in so I can upload it (mine) and download (yours)   then I can delete the respective posts afterward so as not to let just anyone have them.

Question

I write a script (wallmove script)   Its a floor panel which slides across the y axis, stops when open, after a short period it returns and closes (Works perfectly every time)
so I wrote a second script, same script different object, it doesn't work... the panel opens, but it just keeps moving...no stopping, no returning
Went over the script 100 times letter by letter they are exactly the same with exception of the object name (panel1 & panel2)

I started over, completely (fortunately I wasn't that far into the cell build)

Went through the entire process again, now expression error  "can't find referenced object in script"

This my friends makes no sense to me and is frustrating the *SH**t out of me

anyone got any clues or suggestions
