Skyrim Creation Kit

Hi readers,

This ^^ is what I try to build :) Nearly finished. 

Enjoyed the tutorial of the SCK.. made my first dungeon... :D

When it is finished I will show you. ..

So much to learn dough.. but I am amazed with the simplicity, commons sense.

I saw some gaps between the parts, so I will have to find out how to correct this.. I will play around with it first and read the instructions later :)

Love the scripting .. just had a 'look-see' and it has a similar feel to C++... object orientated, which makes sense, as anything that happens in a game, happens with objects lol.

So first learn how to make internal environments then the external environment.. I am guessing this latter will be more difficult. That will be fun.

Dungeons will be fairly easy.. I need to make a castle, as a big part of my story happens in the rooms and hallways of the Castle. This castle is in a big luxurious city, perched on top of the snow capped mountains. Exciting hey?

I have the outlay in my head, the hills, the valleys, mountains.. the dragon-caves etc etc... if the book never gets written, I will still have great fun creating the environment.. and the events that are in the book, I will attempt to create the quests and events in the game. :D

Off course I will only have time in holidays or when I am sick.. like now (got a cold). any other time, my life is too busy .


Enjoy the ride with me !

done :) :)

now learn how to do a 'walk through'

Skyrim creation kit

As I mentioned in other posts, I am attempted to write a book. I used Neverwinter Nights' creation kit to create scenes, for me to visualise it better. To physically see if it makes sense what I ahve in my head.

Neverwinter nights (NWN) is a Role Playing Game (RPG ), created in the mid 1990s. Now, 20 years later, it doesnt  play on the newer Operating System (OS) like W7 and W8.

Meet Skyrim Creation Kit (SCK)  Better, newer, more realistic then ever! I am playing the game, and using the tutorial of the SCK.  So I will recreate the previous scenes (see pics elsewhere) .

The SCK is very similar to the NWN's so the learning curve is not as steep as I expected. Creating RPG worlds combines all the things I love doing with the computer. I am visual, so I can show what I have in my head :). My logical mind is at home in the programming languages, so I am salivating at the thought of working with the programming parts of the quests !

Watch this space!

Running - training etc.

HI all,
I will attempt to write every so often of how my running is going...
My goal is to run a marathon. I originally wanted to run the Townsville marathon, however I cam into some financial strife and could not afford to buy shoes, nor the entry fee .
From my tax return I paid for shoes and the entry fee for the half instead.

Even dough I was nor able to participate i trained as if I would run this marathon.
Regular speed and tempo work and of-course LSD (Long Slow Distance)!

Samantha Forster asked me to train her for the half marathon, and unbeknown to her, she trained me as much as me training her :D

To have someone to go for a run with, seem to be a great impetus to get out, when it is cold windy or damn to early!

So on the way I did do the 10km time trial at the Dam (Townsville Road Runners club run) In about 47 min 35sec, just outside my personal best :)
a few weeks later we did a 6km run and my average was 4.36min/km which was 7sec faster then my PB :)

My first half marathon was in Ayr last year and I run it in 1hr 45 min 10sec. so now my goal is to beat that and stay under 5min/km :)
