Decided my first shareable attempt at a voiced follower is going to be based on the guy who does the Skyrim Mod Sanctuary videos, Gopher. Last month I discovered he's done many "Let's Play" videos that I found very entertaining. Ultimately they provided the motivation to get back into the CK so I could make a custom-voiced follower based on Deck16's teachings.
Last night I put the finishing touches on my first incarnation of Gopher. The voice files are pretty sparse but all of the standard vanilla follower functionality is there and voiced. I've added a few combat noises and other basics. So I'm happy with it as a proof-of-concept. Now I need more sounds. Lots more. Thankfully Gopher is rather prolific... part 3 of his newest series came out this morning, in fact.
My plans for this project will be both learning and tribute. I'm hoping there are other Gopher fans out there who will point me to samples that I can incorporate plus give me ideas for how to add the follower to the world. This in turn will help overcome my laziness and figure out the ins-and-outs of quests.
I'm also writing this to be as compatible with other mods as possible. For instance, UFO specifically states it's compatible with, "Any mod that does not modify DialogueFollower quest/script." Unfortunately this is exactly what Deck16 does in his tutorial. So I learned how to make my own quest and am writing a supplement to Deck16's work.
With the upswing in mod'ing I decided to create a different blog to house all my prattle and discovery. I've always kept notes and observations in one place. It's too difficult to keep track of my WordPad notes now. *lol* I might even have stuff other people might find helpful. Well maybe.
Hello, I hope you see this comment on a post that is months old.
ReplyDeleteI am Nichevo from Deck16, the author of the tutorial you mentioned. If you indeed have written a supplement to my tutorial I would love to link to it from the tutorial.
