Text for Loading Screens [Previous thread]

[Razorwing]

Good ones captain-ultima! I edited them slightly for grammar. I'd have to agree with ShadowDancer that it would be a good idea to include info on how to mine glass, because otherwise they could miss that feature, so I changed your text a bit. I hope that's ok, and you're of course welcome to change it again.

I haven't entered the lines I wrote in the CS. I figured that would be done in one go for all the lines, once written to completion. Is it possible to control which areas particular load screens are displayed in? I know Bethesda does but, being new to the load screen part of the CS, I couldn't figure out how to add cells or other forms to the list.

Speaking of Furius, Moira and Ildean. I noticed they sell only armors of Oblivion, would it be ok if I create new Levelled Lists and put them to sell Morrowind armors?

Yes please

Yes it is possible Razorwing. There is a listing for cells in the CS. Check out an image -=here=-. I believe you have to add them in the esp with the esm loaded to be able to change the cells around if I remember correctly. I have done load screens before and actually wrote a batch file to put into Adobe Photoshop 8 that can be DLed on the CS Wiki. If you want, I can do all of the loading screens text and cell settings once we figure them out.

I just had another thought. Have you guys thought at all about any bink videos? I wouldn't use many of them as they can get hefty in size, but that is how Bethesda did some of there things like the end credits, opening map, opening scene, etc.

No worries, mine was just a suggestion anyway. I agree players do need to know how to mine the glass if it's different from the normal method of being container type. As for the other ones, if you made changes then they are better now.

As ShadowDancer stated they are added trough the cell menu witch is under the World menu.

Yes please

Ok, ill work on this one next then.

Ordinator: 01.- It is with great honour that one has the duty of being a guardian of the Great House Indoril. However it is not wise to provoke one... the consequences is relentless and never more appropriet way to carry out his duty than death.

Ordinator:02.- Ordinators are born warriors. Vexatious people are not tolerated by these prestigious guardians.

Im still thinking of more.

Looking at the Oblivion load screens, the quotes about alchemy are:

To perform alchemy, you must have at least a mortar and pestle. Adding a Calcinator, Alembic, or Retort helps improve your potions.

Ingredients taken from plants will grow back in later months.

Sampling raw ingredients can improve your alchemy skill.

Ingredients taken from plants will grow back after a few days.


My suggestion for the hackle_loplant screen would be something like:

As in other parts of Tamriel, the flora and fauna of Morrowind can sometimes be used as alchemical ingredients.

Skeleton- The undead... the cancer that plagues us all. So...how do we cure cancer?... We just keep fighting. [I want to introduce some humour]

Zombie- The scum that stains such a beautiful world we live in. They deserve to die agian... and agian... and agian...

Hut- Many people may not like to live in socialised area's. Many prefere the bliss the wilderness and the europhia of life. These people have a vast knowledge of the lands around them.


There are some things that i find some trouble looking for good quotes for them. For example, the graveyard how is that of any significance? is it a place that the chracter will encounter regulary and find benifit from it? Then there is "the womens touch" is this a inn? im not sure.

Another is giving out quotes to people like kiseenija and tavatalos. if we give direct quotes to specific people some players may not understand the quote properly, even i dont know who these guys are. But prior to my comments on people, if these npc's are very significant to the game then they are worth the quote be cause we will eventually do things with them.

[captain-ultima]

Nice ones so far guys.

BusterWolF i can answer few of you question's:

The graveyard: this really has no significance, it's up to Razorwing if we are to keep it.

The Woman's Touch: this is a plce to buy furniture and possibly the house itself (can't remember) in Steadhelm, same as Clagius Caro is to Reich Parkeep.

Tavo Talos: This is the person who's hut you first see when you enter trough the cave/door to morrowind, he also directs you to Reich Parkeep, Steadhelm and the Portal's. Im not sure if he will still be in version 3.0

[BusterWolF]

ahh yes thanks, now i understand.

[ShadowDancer]

For the inns one, how about this?

Inns are a nice place to relax and get a room for the night, and perhaps, some news on things around town.

[BusterWolF]

tavotalos: asking about information provides many knowledge about history the lands and the people around you.
