Can I make a creature playable

[Anonymous]

Hey i was wondering if i could mod a creature to be a playable character.

I don't know. Can you? Are you smart and strong enough to? Are you able to?

May you do it? I don't know. Of course you can make one for your own copy of the game, but I doubt they'll let you make one for TR.

Theoretically, it should be possible. If you were to use a modelling program to chop a creature model into pieces corresponding to the various body parts NPCs have, and then removed the animation from the pieces, you could do it.Then you would have to create a new race with those pices as it's bodyparts. It would take a lot of work though and you would have to use a creature that was nearly humanoid as a base.

...not counting all the lore required to introduce a new race, of course.

tr's stance on new races: none unless suported by lore.

if you want to make your own mod, i think that would be a terific idea

i meant making my own mod but if i made the mesh the head of the body and took out the animation files and then added the atr file to the creature shouldnt that also work
i was trying to think about this last night but its one of those things that you have to try to under stand and isnt the nif file the mesh file

There was this one mod by TheLys that allowed the player to transform into a Lich. Can be found in the Morrowind Summit.

I've never tried it so I dunno if it's crap.

There is on mod that lets you turn into animals through spells it's pretty cool. Unfortunately I forgot where I found it, but it's called 'scripted spells'. maybe it was on Thelys i don't know.
