[WIP] Skywind Reborn Quests hub

Better be careful, if anyone can edit it, someone might just troll you and just erase everything.

Good job for taking the initiative Digital.  Machine has already created placeholders for all the quests with correct ids and such, so we don't have to worry about that at least.

You need to get into the forum chat!

Oh, the master on the front page hasn't been updated yet.  There is a link by Machine somewhere at the end.  So that is most current, but that actually should be replaced pretty quickly.  It looks like Eloth is almost done  updating the master and getting rid of some placeholder cups.

That looks great digital. I was going to start on quests and dialog this week, but unfortunately I'm going to be tied up for the next week or so getting people's work on NPC's merged into our new master.

This should help us remain organized and hopefully we can get some more people on board to help out.

I would also like to say, even if you won't know papyrus, that's fine, all we really need done at the moment is filling in the dialog.

Maybe I'll put up a few screenshots or link an example esp later, so people can see how the process of creating quests is done.

From what I can tell there are a lot more unique npcs than not unique npcs.(man I worded that awful, but I just woke up) So, I think using Tes5edit and making all of our npcs unique, and adding a step to the npc creation thread that tells the creator to uncheck unique for guards would be a good idea.

When creating npcs, that unique box and the speed are one of the most annoying things when creating npcs. The unque box tends to uncheck it self for no reason and sometimes the speed will reset it self for no reason at all. So having those already set to npc creators will be a huge help and this'll help quest makers also.

Sorry I wish I could help. I'm working with NPC's but it will be a long time until I'm finished. Maybe Eazzy can write a script to automate this.

If you want to help me with NPC's in the meantime, I could split my work with you so we can finish this sooner. I am just using TES5Edit to do this.

Actually I was transferring unique flag on npcs, but CK was spitting a long list of errors that unique npc is used several times in references. So I removed them all.

If you build a full list of EditorIDs of npcs to bet set as unique (like above), it is very easy to apply that flag by script in TES5Edit.

Can be done either way.

thanks for the list, digital:)
i'll give you feedback within the next one or two hours..

OK, here the skywind.esm (v0.4) with updated unique flags:
http://www.mediafire.com/?pkj8y36rg8hgj28

A few EDIDs in your list didn't match the actual EDIDs in the master, so I changed them as follows:

• 0AldRuhnNightGuardPracticeRoom -> 0AldRuhnNightGuardPracticeRoom1, 0AldRuhnNightGuardPracticeRoom2
• 0AshGoulLeveled -> 0AshGhoulLeveled
• 0BMUberserkerU1lvl5 -> 0BMUberserkerUm1Ulvl5
• 0BMUberserkerU3 -> 0BMUberserkerUm3
• 0deadSheSmaleU010deadSimpSmaleU01 -> 0deadSheSmaleU01, 0deadSimpSmaleU01
• 0mehrunesworshipperUm01 (double entry) -> 0mehrunesworshipperUm02
• moXdremoralord (double entry) -> <removed>
• Skeleton -> <removed> (there is no such form in skywind.esm)
• SkeletonDead -> <removed> (there is no such form in skywind.esm)

Here is the pascal script for TES5Edit:
http://www.mediafire.com/?yfz8y3nb8l57bva

It reads the EDIDs list in "data\Skywind_NonUniqueNPCsList.txt" and sets the unique flag for all NPC_ forms that are NOT included in the list. It further outputs some log files to the "\data" directory, e.g. a list of forms thats unique flag has been set and a list of forms thats unique flag has not been set. The zip file contains these lists as well.

If you want to double-check your npc list, you can either read the log files or better apply the script to the unprocessed esm yourself - TES5Edit will mark all edited forms in bold.

Cool Eazzy, should I update the master thread with that link?

Shadow

Cool Eazzy, should I update the master thread with that link?

I don't know if anybody is currently working on the main esm. If that's the case we should wait until the work is finished and apply the script afterwards.

I've tried this quest and it works ok, only problem I have is that some text subtitles disappear almost immediately and some are staying to long, but it's better long so i can skip them rather then the case when i'm not able to read it.

But if that is going to be worked on later then sorry for my comment.

Cool Digital, I'll try it out now.

yes i can left click and skip the text (no problem with that). some subtitles stays to long (mostly first line in conversation and third line) so I can ether skip them or wait and they disappear (not to long and it's maybe ok if you are slow reader) but normally second line in topic (but some others as well) disappear almost immediately without having chance to even read the first word.

didn't spoke to him yet but i'll try it. I didn't try eny other mods without voice, this quest is first, but my problems are when talking to caius cosades [topic for example topic orders which finishes quest] or for example the owner of southwest corner club [his second line]

edit I just find that is random which lines goes to quickly, sometimes they work ok sometimes they disappear quickly

i don't know if it's something wrong with my game hopefully someone else try it and tell if it's ok or not, it's random for me sometimes line is ok sometimes to short [but when talking to caius there are always some short lines] and I can't try Arrille's Tradehouse because it crashes when i try opening door.

edit2: ok it looks i figured it out, it didn't like my save from skyrim. when i started skywind from main menu subtitles works good, they are here to long but that's ok. so my problem must by with save game sorry for that then.

well that tradehouse still crashes and I cant even teleport there by this coc command but that doest matter, and round southwall corner club I'm walking round only when I'm still watching ground and it still crashes a lot. But worst thing for me is that my skyrim save don't work with subtitles I wanted to play skywind with that 81 level character, to bad but it would be more fun starting skywind with new character I guess

http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1365775-rel-fuz-ro-doh/

that still doesn't work with my savegame but when starting from menu it's still woks good [don't see any different with this plugin but maybe it's just me]

edit. sorry I didn't run this fuz ro doh thing right, as I can see now when I'm reading instructions properly, I'll try it again later

edit2: ok this thing is working great even with my old save, so thanks zilav

That looks pretty good.  I'll make a note to put that as a requirement in the installation instructions once we get our first quests merged.

Cool,  will those topics appear in any NPCs or is that just for merging purposes?

That's some cool info Digital, I think I'll try it out.

Ah, It says link not found when I click on it :(

That's great.  I've noticed though.  When I start a new game via the console, I have to save, exit, and reload to get the dialogue to appear on NPCs.  This shouldn't appear in normal gaming conditions, so I'm not too worried, but do you know why this is?

Thanks Zilav.  I didn't know about that one.

It is generated only for quests with "start game enabled" flag.
