Sometimes you have to scream...

Hey.  I based my name off my High Elf, which I am starting to love... a little, anyway.  I've been getting into mods lately, and I was thinking maybe i could learn from some people, as well as help out with writing.

I'm a writer, or at least I have the talent of one.  Some people read a prologue for a book idea of mine recently, and one said it was "phenomonal".  Or however you spell that word (I don't use it that often).  My grammar and spelling are excellent, so don't worry too much about that.  If anyone wants a book written, just message me.  I don't know how to create the book itself, or send files (like even just Notepad or other txt's) across the internet via forums.  but I could message you, as a start.  Unless you were kind enough to grace me with the knowledge of uploading files on to here. Or a related site.  Cheesy  Up to you, really.  i guess...

Though i would love to know how to do dialogue and such for characters... as well as a little insight into effective AI packages.

Oh, and I would definitely be willing to work as part of a team in creating either ideas I come up with, or any ideas any of YOU come up with and such.

Hello. Not bad to have such confidence in writing talents Smiley

Sending files via internet? Well, forum attachments can be used, external hosting sites where you can place the file and post a link here. As for texts for mods, I believe that most modders consider that a simple part of the work compared to other mod design areas (even if texts are not too good). Hard to imagine a mod that would consist only of books and new dialogues, and such services can probably be used only by larger mod teams working on extensive projects. That is, if designers are ready to entrust text works to someone else.

If I knew how to make an effective mod myself I'd do it all.  I just need someone with character/quest knowledge, really.  I could supply the voice (if I knew how), even.  Just someone to help out, or give out a few helpful hints, heh.  It wouldn't be a big quest, only three or four parts of the book total.  And the bad guy would actually be a character in teh book.  The writer's talent is... actually... the ability to allow his creations INTO the world.  By chopping up his autobiography (for some reason was connected to his "talent" at the time) it scattered his memories.  Still working on story ideas/details.
I posted a thread where we could discuss in more detail.  In the Oblivion Mods section, I think.

Welcome to the forums! Writing is a very useful skill for sure. Your idea sounds interesting, I hope you find people to work on it with you. I love mods, though I can't stand fiddling with the construction set. It reminds me too much of a programming class I took in college and I start breaking out in hives.

LOL.  I'd love to fiddle with the set... if I knew what I was doing most of the time!  LOL.  I can make the shell of an NPC... i.e. appearance, clothes, etc.  But I can't make the "brains" of the NPC, like the AI package and dialogue.  It's annoying.  I'll also need to learn to create quests.... but, I think I found an ok tutorial the other night, so I'll have to fiddle with that when i have time.
