A houses to buy!

D1SoveR · Post by **D1SoveR** » Sat Aug 28, 2004 10:19 pm

Have you ever played Indestructible`s Bank Mod?
There is a cool feature in this mod - a houses to buy!

We could do this in TR as a Bolt-On!
You know, we could put some empty houses in towns and
make them available to buy! Just like in Daggerfall.

The front doors of all empty houses would be scripted - without key,
you cannot enter.

It all can be done via dialogue options, not message boxes.
That would make easier adding a new houses.

Same thing can be done with boats!
Just look at Sell`n`Sail Galleon Mod!
Of course, we need to get permission from author
of that mod, but it could be so cool!

After all, you could buy both houses and boats in Daggerfall...

Oh, and pardon my dirty english... Please...

Heh, kick my ass - this topic IS pathetic...

And what about the ships?

Whaal · Post by **Whaal** » Sat Sep 04, 2004 2:13 am

well, saying we DID add ships, then what would you do with it? You can't like, sail around with the movement keys (as far as I know), you know? I think the house idea is cool, but i just don't see the point of ships....but thats just me.

in the fishing acadamy mod on summit and a couple other mods ive heard of u can sail ships. Fishing acadamy says u can sail all around morrowind. We could do something like that.

yeah, if it was like that, it would be pretty cool, you'd have to get it approved though.

oh, and i know this completley off topic, but where do you get that 3d editor people use to make model files?

Gooblecakes · Post by **Gooblecakes** » Sat Sep 04, 2004 5:23 pm

there are several. all cost a frikkin' ton, except Maya PLE, which is freeware, and what im using to make a mudskipper model (just for fun, and cuz my friend wants me too), but Maya PLE cant make nif files, which is what morrowind uses. i havent heard of an exporter plugin for it or anything. plus it adds a stupid watermark to your render windo telling you that its not fro comercial use.

EDIT: Haha, im the only one to have posted in this thread to have an avatar!

I think this idea is way cool. Why don't you gyus like it?
And about the ships: you don't have to steer them. Just have a captain take you EVERYWHERE you want to. I guess it's just a scripting thing...

Gooblecakes · Post by **Gooblecakes** » Sun Sep 19, 2004 3:37 pm

A HUGE scripting thing. if you look at the sell 'n' sail galleons script, its gigantic! I say we ask to use MadMax's script, and modify it so it fast travels to all the major port cities in tamriel.

Inferno_str1ke · Post by **Inferno_str1ke** » Mon Sep 27, 2004 3:30 pm

buying houses, sounds good. so heres what you're doing, correct me if im wrong:

new houses will be put in each city

using the door of the house will pop up a box telling you where to buy the house (just locked would mean people could pick it)

speaking to the seller would allow you to buy any house in a town (lage ones could have a few)

when the house is purchased the player gets a key. once he has the key the script is permenantly disabled

well it sounds good, has had some support, so go ahead. if anyone wants to get involved, or you want to add new features, just post up here. and let us know how the claim progresses.

Inferno_str1ke · Post by **Inferno_str1ke** » Tue Nov 02, 2004 8:27 pm

hows it going? remember, if you are making this, give us some updates from time to time, so we know what to expect and look forward to. whilst these are not proper TR claims, they are still a part of the project, so its good to post about them.

where can you download this bank mod?

Morden · Post by **Morden** » Tue Dec 14, 2004 1:15 am

Search Google, or any place where you normally get mods. Morrowind Summit, Euro-RPG, ect.

You're better off asking questions like this in the official forums. They answer stuff like this all the time.

Timito · Post by **Timito** » Tue Dec 14, 2004 8:22 am

It's a good Idea, but wats the profit (hope you catch what i mean)? If you'd make some extra-fast healing beds it would be OK. Otherwise you'd better go sleep outside, instead of spending all of your money on a house.

Stalker · Post by **Stalker** » Tue Dec 14, 2004 10:29 am

I ABSOLUTLY don't agree with you. For the obvious reasons.

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Tue Dec 14, 2004 7:18 pm

insted of a script for the door just have the house all messed up and the bed unuseable and when u buy the house the inside is fixed. Also insteed of all towns just the major cities in each provance.(why is it always provances are there states in tamriel?)

Sadi · Post by **Sadi** » Sat Dec 18, 2004 4:59 pm

what's the point of that?

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Sat Dec 18, 2004 10:17 pm

that way you get an idea of what the house is like on the inside ex:where the stairs are, how many rooms there are etc,etc

Inferno_str1ke · Post by **Inferno_str1ke** » Sun Jan 09, 2005 8:22 pm

any more news on this idea?

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Mon Jan 24, 2005 6:24 am

I reckon a housing mod like this would be a class addition; it was one of the most sorely missed things from Daggerfall. The whole ship thing would be a bit pointless in Morrowind, it was needed in DF cos of the huge scale, but that's what Strider Ports are for now

Xui'al · Post by **Xui'al** » Sat Apr 02, 2005 1:50 pm

As I recall in the Private Mobile Base mod (I am not suggesting that it's used, so don't flame me) there was an option to go and visit a 'trial model' in Mournhold so you could see what you would be investing in. Perhaps something like that could be done with these houses?

Artemis Entreri · Post by **Artemis Entreri** » Sat Apr 02, 2005 8:22 pm

If you did make this, I would suggest the ability to actually name the house. I hated how in Morrowind when you get the stronghold you can't name it after your charcater.

CommonsNat · Post by **CommonsNat** » Sat Apr 02, 2005 8:27 pm

I don't know if it's possible to type in what you want it to be. I have never seen a script or dialogue function like that. On this note, what's the function to change a cell name? I know that possible, because the name of the cells for the original Morrowind strongholds were changed when you start building.

Stumpytheguar · Post by **Stumpytheguar** » Sat Apr 02, 2005 8:44 pm

Nope... the names for the cells didn't change. They were always named Odai plateau, Uvirith's grave and... that other one.

As far as I've ever, ever seen (and I've seen alot of scripting) there are no ways to store or edit string variables, no ways to edit exterior cell names, and no way but %PCName to display the character's name anywhere.

Buying houses seems a little silly anyway... I mean sure it might add realism (to a certain extent), but the player never really... settles into any one place, nor does he seem to have any plans to. The game simply wasn't built to support a home or family in the same way that Fable does (which seems to be the idea you're after).

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Sat Apr 02, 2005 9:04 pm

well my cousion uses his storghold as a storge place for all his stuff he gets and does not want to carey. so thats one thing we could use houses for.

Oh, sorry, I never got my stronghold, I just seem to remember that from my friends game.

I think buying houses in certain places would be nice. I always like storing my stuff when I become over-encumbered in certain places. Every empty house becomes my storehouse, seeing as I collect everything I don't sell.

I'd love to see certain houses buyable.

Xui'al · Post by **Xui'al** » Sun Apr 03, 2005 4:10 am

Some players like houses, some don't. Some like fortresses, and some just like storage depots. There needs to be homes for those who actually want somewhere to use as a base, and those that just want to dump their stuff. Oh, and Stumpy, its called Bal Isra and its a really, really crappy place to visit.

Blackblade · Post by **Blackblade** » Thu Apr 14, 2005 10:43 pm

This looks good, I like it. I think that there ought to be a way to buy houses in major citys (balmora, ald'ruhn, Sadrith Mora, Mournhold,ect) Maybe to where Once you kill the resident of a strong hold(like Grothen from Tel Ahrun) you could buy his stronghold. It wouldn't change very much except that you would get more recognition when you walk arround town.

Xui'al · Post by **Xui'al** » Thu Apr 14, 2005 11:54 pm

Uhh, Blackblade we are modding Tamriel, there are tons of large scale housing mods for Vvardenfell. I think it is a good idea, but shouldn't go too far. I personally favor the galleon that you can sail around with W-A-S-D keys, as travelling places in boat is just, really, really cool. Has anyone contacted the makers of the SellnSail Galleon or Fishing Academy(island would need to be moved) mod?

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Thu Jun 02, 2005 8:26 pm

i would be willing to get a hold of the the modders who made these mods contact me in about 2 days should have info depending on the authors agendas.

Inferno_str1ke · Post by **Inferno_str1ke** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 2:05 pm

So, anyone want to take up the idea of making purchaseable property? Its in limbo for the moment.
