Creating new SP personalities (Witches) - a good group project for XML modders, Script modders, and the General Public
Posted: January 9th, 2014, 10:34 pm
Hi Guys,
I was poking around inside the story progression personalities modules, and I found that creating a new personality type may be a good group project as it involves mostly XML, which is accessible to a lot of people.
The XMLs are pretty heavy stuff, but for the many who have a background in XML mods I think it's manageable. I was thinking why don't we first add a witch personality. I know that was something a lot of people were wanting, and I think it's doable.
XML Modders: First have a peak inside some of the personality modules, especially werewolves and fairies and have an idea how they work. There is an S3SA (dll) file in there, but it is just bootstrapping the module to the main mod. After that we can discuss about how to proceed.
Script Modders: If we want the mod to do something new that the other personalities don't already do, such as casting a spell etc, we're going to need some script modding. To really make this mod colorful script modders are needed
General Public: Can you offer some suggestions about what you would like to see in the mod? What are some things the witches should do?
I hope this is a fun group project
