plus going back to modding fo4/SSE feels archaic asf

 

Honestly, I am so far past modding for any Bethesda game right now.

 

A good hobby is one that's very different from your day job, and mod making has always been uncomfortably close to mine. (Probably why I seem to enjoy it more when I'm making tats or furniture, but I digress). And the whole thing is hard enough work without having to fight against Bethesda hiding documentation and dropping caltrops in your path so their revenue-generating modders can look better by comparison.

 

I won't rule out a return if I find myself suddenly Inspired (or with a lot of unexpected free time on my hands) but as of right now - I'm done.

Well, they#re not going anywhere before TES6 drops, and unless that game is a disaster on the scale of Concord, we'll probably see Fallout 5 following. After that ... we'll see how long it takes Microsoft to leech the remaining individuality and creativity from the company.

Skyrim quest making feels like crap compared to simple edits with SF

main reason I said this is that the dam bar is so high for these game a good mod can easily shadowed by the Nth CBBE preset and Nth weapon mod for Skyrim/Fo4
meanwhile SF is newish so that people can have a chance making a foundation or their mods being discovered

I doubt this will happen. Alongside funding from Microsoft and active Game Pass users that are paying much more into having access to this and other games than those of us who have bought the full product, they have a few mobile games and two MMOs keeping them alive right now to easily make up for any sales lost from Starfield, and that's on top of the fact that people are buying paid Creation Club content for Skyrim, Fallout 4 and Starfield as well.

We got lipsynch? (Link to tutorial?)

 

That would be very good. Almost as good as having a working way to add new Wwise sound events into CK.

I can make a quick tutorial since its pretty straight forwad since it scans the active plugin and make the lipgen with the voices recorded

WWISE is more versatile than the way it was before when implementing Audio for Skyrim/FO4

Versatile I believe. There are many interesting things inside Wwise, but if I cannot get the CK to see new wwise events, they are not useful. 

 

I would be very thankful for a tutorial on this. The CK documents, Audiokinect tutorials and Youtube videos about replacing existing sounds (gunshots) or adding voiced dialogue are not getting what I need to add new effect sounds.

Already exists. Has done for some time. It's called Chargen Menu.

 

In other news, has anyone noticed there's a new update for the game? Comes with some bug fixes, and they're linking it with a couple of free Creations; a new vehicle and a quest mod.

 

The lack of excitement has been palpable.

Facegen, head meshes and expressions in SF is actually one of very few things that they did excellent and it didn't even need a lot of revamping:

It's just other game issues are too deep to make it attractive even with this good facegen.

I disagree. It requires a restrictive license, especially it you plan to create a bigger project. The Papyrus integration comes with zero documentation. The audio error messages in Paprus log showing no details beside than "error occurred". WWise middleware provides a complex layering of audio effects, channels and filters but why shouldn't I adapt and filter the source files with powerful tools like Audacity?
I created hundreds of audio effects for Skyrim - it was way more straight forward than what CK offers now. And unlike the Wwise integration, it simply worked

Companions? Sign me up. (I can't mod, BTW). But a good companion that has some life instead of the robotic game ones would be a great addition to the game. Good luck with your modding!

Bethesda released the latest CK update to allow anyone to flag their mods as achievement friendly, but as we soon found out, you must be a Microsoft employee, employee of Bethesda, or have a portfolio with a well established publisher such as Arkane.

Bethesda never wanted third party mods for Starfield, so they disabled the creationkit.com website just before releasing the CK and offered no SDK/GDK or backend information on the game, making it is nearly impossible to create a good mod so 90% of the mods released are console commands and a few texture mods.

I always thought the achievements were for solely the vanilla game without any mods or use of console so that people couldn't cheat their way to earning achievements. Frankly, I never cared for them anyway, but I guess some people live for them for some imaginary gamer cred.

You're posting archives from Skyrim and FO4, so it does not literally exist.

Originally only Bethesda Creations were applicable but last update enabled it for verified creations since Bethesda gets money from them. Xbox users seem to want achievement friendly more than Linux users.

Does your mod allow you to take your ship through the Unity?

Are you a Linux user? You're one of my people! Or were you just speaking in general?
