Locksley

[Locksley]

Robin of Locksley, yes yes my name is Robin.... Started up playing Oblivion again after letting it lye for a while, it always crashed or became unplayable after lv 20+ before. But now it seems like I can play out the game as intended.

I'll probably eventually get involved in sound editing since I am a musician and that is something I can do. Becoming proficient with the C.S. making nice little cell's with stuff to help other teams out.

I have a few ideas for mod's that I might eventually come around doing; if any seems worthwhile you are welcome to do them yourselves.

1. Overhaul the repair system. Can't repair 100% in the field. Can always repair magical stuff. Low skill lowers the durability of the stuff you repair. Need a forge close to repair 100%. And some more stuff related.

2. Editing Oblivion voices to make new sentences. Cut and paste basically, with some EQ and sound manipulation. E.g. at the end of a statement the voice often dips. Doing this and making a mod that will add ALLOT of new rumors you can listen too. There is so much people can talk about really.

3. Overhaul the main quest. I wont even describe it since this is more of a wish than something I am likely to do.

4. Overhaul the Nighteye. Learning HLSL and make less overpowering nighteye. First one normal nighteye for when you cast the spell - slightly fuzzy and light outlines on objects, very dark. Potion: More green and reddish base and very dark. Vampire: Like a heat haze, better but still dark. Kahjit: very good nighteye but still best with slight background light. And so on - and a script that keep track of what you are doing when getting the nighteye effect.

Basically I think that nighteye should need some light to work. Even the darkest and fuzziest one I've found is still to bright and easy to see. It should be like you almost want to use a torch to see rather than the nighteye - mainly because the effect will bring a very fuzzy grainy picture that wont let you see that clearly.

Those are the basic mods I have had tumbling around in my head. The night eye is something I really would like to do but learning to program shaders (and I can't program anything really) does not seem like a fun way to spend my spare time. Well maybe I'll get there.

Cheers!

Pleasure to have you here, Locksley. Good ideas you have there. You're in the right place for those times when you run into trouble making them into plug-ins.

Welcome!

Welcome to the Alliance!

Welcome Locksley!

I hope you work on those mods, they sound like great ideas! And plenty of great people are here at TESA to help you, so go wild!

[Locksley]

Thank you

The nighteye I would really like to have right now as I play; the rest I can see me doing when I tire of playing the game and want to start modding. It's either mod or play!

EDIT - Yeah, and if you do both the spell nighteye and use a potion you'll get a mix and somewhat better light. There should be a use for nighteye but a pain to use; only in the most dire circumstances will you use it. END EDIT

Welcome to the Alliance , I would not mind learning how to edit shaders myself

Welcome to TESA Locksley! Those alterations to Night Eye do sound intriguing! I use a replacer for Night Eye myself that makes it what it was in Morrowind, well mostly. No control over the strength of it but at least no more incredibly bright, blinding blue kool aid induced trip. I really hate the vanilla Oblivion effect.

New modders are always welcome here! As a musician and sound effects guy, have you considered adding voice acting to your repertoire? They're always in high demand.

Have a cookie! ...oh, oh dear. Looks like someone was eating that one.

[Locksley]

Ah yes, I did start doing some VO but I really HATE editing the stuff. Listening to others is fun, listening to yourself is death

[WhoGuru]

LOL I can sympathise with that. I am my own worst critic as a voice actor.

Welcome and have a new cookie! Better eat it quick before Red comes along and snatches it again!

*yoink!*

Lol! Red uses her mighty moderator powers to confiscate that cookie! Poor Locksley! Nothing stands between Red and her cookies!

But I fully understand, as I empty the whole cookie jar in one session! Though I have to face Mrs.StarX afterwards!
