Two Requests for Moders

Post » Sat Sep 17, 2011 8:41 pm

I would really love if the mod guys would be able to do these two things.

1. A TES name converter: this is not exactly a mod but its something that someone experienced in the Lore and how languages in the game work could come up with.
Basically what it does is you type a name and it translates it into other races names. Like for instance: Happy Face -> Argonian -> Ugh'Dran (I just made that up)


2. Chaos Marauder: Its something i would like to see if it would work.. after i play Skyrim a lot in normal mod. I would like to try out a game where we could summon weapons in our arms.
For does who are not familiar with the Chaos Marauder, he is a Chaos minion who are usually given the power to transform their body into demonic weapons.
Here are a few pics: http://mythicmktg.fileburst.com/war/us/home/images/armiesofWAR/chaos/Marauder/marauder-concept-02.jpg

I also like their armors a lot.

I would really love to see these 2 things eventually. Thanks for reading

This one is most likely impossible to do accurately because we don't know entire TES languages. There are certain words and phrases for most languages, but none have been completely created. Of course you could always use made up languages, I guess.

This one is probably possible, but would be very difficult since character models would have to be altered and new animations would have to be made, both of which are pretty hard to do.

Of course, there's nothing stopping you from becoming a modder and attempting these things yourself. All you need is the Creation Kit (and maybe some 3rd party tools), and time to learn and practice. :)

(Also, everything I posted here is based off of what I know about Oblivion modding. Skyrim's Creation Kit is said to be similar to the Construction Set, so I assume everything I said would still apply.)

It really depends on how accessible the tools will be and how much time my uni gives me :P

I really don't think you can make a translator for names. Although if your after actual lore correct names you can try checking out this link.

I wouldn't be surprised if more Warhammer themed mods come out for Skyrim than for Morrowind/Oblivion. Here's one for Oblivion, hahaha http://www.rubyblade.com/tes/images/eldararmour.jpg and the FO3 one, http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11164

You should go ahead and learn how to import the existing warhammer art assets into Skyrim. You'd be doing the community a service.
