Greetings all,


I'm quite new at modding and the editor, so please bear with me, and I have two main questions:

- I' would like to create a quest which basically wraps up with a boss fight on a floating island above Skyhaven temple, so question one is "is it possible in the editor to create floating piece of land mass in the skies of skyrim?"

-Second question is where can I find some complete manuals as to how to use the editor, all the videos and tutorials I have found are fairly limited to basic stuff, I would like to go more in depth. Preferably with complete explanation of all menus and options.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

Second Question is easy: http://www.creationkit.com/ and the Tutorials Sticky Thread at the top of this board (that's about your lot).

First Question ... is not easy ... at all ... If it is even possible (I guess it is kind of possible ... people have done a hot-air-ballon, I believe? ... there may also be a trick with LOD-landscape you can perform ... but like I say, it is definately not easy and you almost certainly won't find a tutorial on how to do it)

sovengarde is a floating island, so your assets are already in the CK.

if you want to put it floating in tamriel, IMO it would be best to make it its own worldspace with skyrim only visible as LOD in the bg. although that is an entirely different headache altogether.

in any case, i would not recommend creating a large floating island in tamriel (you will be inevitably crippled with navmesh related problems)

You could create the island as a static mesh and import it that way.

Thanks for the responses. I think it should be possible as I have already seen a floating airship house mod.

@bonehedge I willl look into the static mesh option. Thanks.
