CK Basics: Lesson #2

[DarkRider]

Looks great Grits! You can head to Lesson #3 now and if you feel ready, can start tackling the Credit Challenges!

[DarkRider]

mALX, in a few places your NavMesh appears broken. The yellow lines should only appear around the outside edge of the mesh. Anywhere one of those yellow lines crosses the floor, it's a break, indicating multiple NavMeshes placed beside one another. NPCs will not travel between multiple meshes, you want to place it as one solid piece of NavMesh. I would delete all except the biggest solid piece, and build from there. Repost your NavMesh images once repaired

Here is a link to Lesson #2  Nav Mesh fix - the first 3 screenshots on top of the page.  Sorry about that, DR - appreciate the heads up!

Thank you!

I am still here, just taking my time.

[DarkRider]

No rush, take all the time you need

[ashleyclark]

I did it !! I am so proud of myself !! This is not all of lesson 2, but I am turning in what I have so far, because if it decides to go crazy, at least you know I got this part done. I plan on doing more clutter and adding a few more things, but these were part of the lesson.

 

Clutter_on_a_table

 

Clutter_near_the_front_door

 

Clutter_and_containors_st_the_fireplace

 

The_leeks_are_behaving_at_the_table

 

Lots_of_storage_upstairs

 

The_books_are_not_running_over_each_other

 

All of the pictures were taken ingame. I have to do the NavMesh and the special container, but have no idea how to take a picture while in the CK and then post it here. Is there a lesson on how to do this so that when I get finished, I can submit the rest of lesson 2??

 

Thank you very much mALX for the help, and you also DarkRider !!

Great job so far!

You can screen cap your CK using the print screen button on your keyboard then ctrl+v into a program like Paint to save as a jpg. Or you use a screencap program like FRAPs. You have to upload it somewhere like the gallery here on TESA or a Photobucket to link the image.

[ashleyclark]

Okay. I will use the paint. Thanks for the info !!

 

Happy New Year to you, and to everyone in the school !!

I am not done yet, and have to finish with the clutter, make one more chest, and the NavMesh. Do you also want us to do the Lesson 2 supplemental??

First, I do not like the camera. It is waaaay to sensitive. Here is the rest of my homework for Lesson #2. The extra credit was already included in the above posts, #33 and #38

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT :In case anyone did not notice, I have turned in all the work required for lesson #2. Is is good enough to go on to Lesson #3??

Sorry, I missed the final update on your work to comment.

 

Looking pretty good, but the NavMesh appears a bit broken. You have some clustering of nodes that could probably all be replaced with just one or two. You also can't join two sections of mesh at a single node point, NPCs need a complete path. I count 8 sections of navmesh (each surrounded by its own yellow border) and there should be only one. I would scrap the navmesh and start again, try to weave it as one section top floor, along the ladder, and first floor. If you have questions let me know!

[ashleyclark]

Okay. I will work it this weekend. Classes started for me at the college and I have to do homework first, then "play and design" later. Hope that made sense. I will post it again when I finish it.

[DarkRider]

Take all the time you need, good luck in your studies

[ashleyclark]

It seems that I lost the file. It is loaded via Steam, it is in the mod list, but it is not in the CK. There is an esp file and that is it. No bsa file, just the esp. When I look into the Cell View it is not in the list. I will start over. Besides, practice makes perfect.

[DarkRider]

Your mod uses the Skyrim bsa, so there won't be one, just the esp

[ashleyclark]

Understand that. But the file does not show up in the list in the Cell View. At all. I can go to where you click on Skyrim, click on the mod, and set it as the active file, and the CK loads. But it does not show up in the cell view in the bottom left hand corner after you do all that and it loads. It is nowhere to be found.

If you'd like me to take a look you can PM me your esp file. If you'd just prefer to start over that's okay too, whichever you'd like to do

[ashleyclark]

I found an older file, re-added stuff, and I am almost ready to start on the interior NevMesh. Good thing I make saves every so often. Thanks for the offer to check it out.

Terrific, I'll keep checking back for your finished work

[ashleyclark]

I am still here, but just swamped with homework. I have not forgotten. Just letting you know.

[DarkRider]

No problem, thanks for the note
