Claim (25,19): TO Shacks & Ba'nal [C]

Post by groza528 »

Hey there, I'm a newbie just trying my hand at a few different things until I find what I like... I'd like to claim the three interiors in cell (25, 19): guar farm shack on stilts, another on the ground, and an underwater cave. Not sure how specific I need to be, but I'm planning to put dunmer ranchers/farmers in the shacks, and probably turn the cave into a smuggler den with mostly dark elves and maybe a couple random-race (that idea would be subject to change if I checked the interior and found that it was clearly not a smuggler den)

Update: Came up with a few dark elf names
Daren Modreth
Mavyn Nethron
Myndaal Athys
Symara Hlodel
Fons Vonethi
Othyn Velas
Omal Llarvu

Imagine my insult to find that "Raw Glass has no effect on you." I became very huffy at the implication that my intelligence could not be lowered further. Then again, I did just eat a piece of glass.

Sure, no problem. Wasn't sure if just the entrance was underwater, like the cave where the guy with the Lord's Mail is. Will follow your guidelines, thanks.

Ok.

Here are the interior files.

remember to make a new esp for it.

If there is anything that you cannot do and find problems (like assigning ownership), please state so in the readme what you want assigned, and anything else that needs to be brought to my attention.

Don't forget to read the FAQ's in this Claims Forums.

And Enjoy yourself.

:) Yinnie.

PS: Also, Welcome to TR.

Sorry for the delay; I have also been working on an exterior claim. I'll get this ready and then I'm probably sticking to exteriors for a while.

Alright, first a n00bish question: I assigned ownership to the items in the shack, but when I take them the NPC just says "I'll deal with you, thief!" but doesn't attack. How do I make him attack? Likewise, how do I make it a crime to attack him?

Second, I've just got a small quest idea, but I didn't mention it before so I thought I should ask first. The quest is to put some rat poison in the storage shack; easy enough, the catch is you're not allowed to kill the rat that's already in ther because that rat has to carry the poison back to his rat cronies (non-existant ingame) It may require me to create one more container as a drop point for the poison.

you have to change the AI settings, dunno the excat numbers for attack and alarm, should be in the help files under NPC AI

Alright, I got that working, but have run across another problem. Now, for some strange reason, there are two of every item to which I assigned ownership. I can take the first one without the NPC saying a thing, but the second one in exactly the same place gets a rouse out of him.
My hunch is that the game considers there to be two items there: one from the original interior mod that has no ownership assigned, and an additional one from my NPC mod that does. Any idea how I can fix that?

I've encountered this problem myself. It seems that when you change the ownership of an object, and save the data in a new file, when the two files are loaded together the objects are doubled. If you load them together in the CS, it's quite possible that the new data will be deleted, as the CS sees it as a 'duplicate reference', which are automatically removed. I hope that made sense. :shock: The only way around it (afaik) is to save the changes to the original file, which is against TR policy.

So... unless the policy is changed, the setting of ownership on objects is something the merging team will have to take care of.
