Girl Power?

Submitted by kathycf on Tue, 2007-05-29 22:15

I have been experimenting over yesterday and today and came up with a couple of things:

I added a new skin to the playable gargoyle in dsrevived loa...
I redid the jade gargoyle to be a pink girly gargoyle
I made a small stand alone npc mod...I can now add in either Caitlin (melee) or Aine (pronounced AHN-ya...it's Irish) nature mage. I have gotten a little bored with the regular NPCs and decided to "make" a couple of girls. I am still playing around with what skins I want for them, plus the ever exciting task of making new hair ribbons. Right now I can add them in using the +party command and template name with the dark/light elf mod gui thingy, but I think I will try to make them summonable, similiar to the summon npc spell mod. Strictly for my own private use, since I would have to use the summon npc mod as a base to work from. I don't like plagiarism, hence the private use thing. Still, it has been fun. ^^

Nothing innovative, and I am not sure how these will work out long term...I feel sort of like one of those kids that is experimenting with a chemistry set down in the cellar, hoping I don't blow myself up but having fun anyway. All in all, it has been a learning process, since I have just been looking at files and trying different things and seeing what works. I feel a little proud of myself that I figured out this stuff by myself (although as I say, I am not doing anything innovative) and I did it all over yesterday and today.

One new playable gargoyle skin:

Girlish gargoyles...summon and caster.

Um, oops...weird things happen when I convert images back and forth and all over the place.

Better now...Caitlin and Aine

Those look nice Kathy. As long as you don't use the actual templates from the summon npc mod, but create your own, I don't see any problems with plagiarism.

Good point, and additionally I think if I credit the author of summon npc with using his (her?) idea as a base, that should work fine. Smile

Back to tinkering...

Since all our stuff has to be based on the GPG originals, and they usually have author's names in the skrit and gas files, most modders have just added a "modified by" line after the original author's name. Templates usually don't, but you could still add a "changed by" note. I also generally add comments on the ends of the line I change, to make it easier to find out where I broke it!
