Are there plans on making the Creation Kit easier to use? Editing a room like Breezehome is just way to complicated and frustrating with all the colored lines, circles and awkward camera views. Even trying to click on an item to delete is frustrating. Also, it is too complicated to find an area to edit. For example, I would like a simple top down view of the exterior of Whiterun so I can edit the landscape like plants and trees. I just feel this creation kit was meant for people with 10 plus years of modding experience to be able to use at all. I watched the tutorials on You Tube, but it just feels like I need 2-4 years of training to be able to use and understand the creation kit. I am sure there are many millions of us that feel left out because we are not able to use the creation kit successfully in order to be creative and have fun with it.

Errr... If you hit M it toggles markers so you can easily select non FX/Light/Etc. objects... The camera takes some getting used too, but it did in previous editors too.

If you select an object and hit T you go to top-down view.

The CK actually, for the most part, just takes knowing a few handy shortcuts. I don't think they would make it 'easier to use' as you say, since it's been like that for years and obviously works for them. You just need to learn the shortcuts and get used to it.

I don't know if this has been asked yet, but it is possible to make the Creation Kit available to those who don't have Skyrim on their Steam account?

What for? You can't really do anything with it without Skyrim, and that makes it sound like you mean for people who acquired Skyrim through... other means.

+1
maybe "Show" args are intended for that, but i've no idea how to use them

int Function Show(float afArg1, float afArg2, float afArg3, float afArg4, float afArg5, float afArg6, float afArg7, float afArg8, float afArg9)

That function's parameters are used for inserting numbers into a message.

Mjoll, Jenassa and all female housecarls have male stance and walking animation. Is this intentional? I ask because I have a mod that try to fix annoying bugs and I'm not 100% sure it is really a bug. I changed the animation to female and some people didn't like. So any official statement about this?

Please fix the 64cell range bug, and release the animation tools or some work around!

This one i second.

Mangue, I have a feeling it is intentional, why else provide the 'use opposite gender animation' option?

The housecarl women tend to have Amazonian qualities, so it makes sense their attacks are more masculine. I feel the same goes for Jenassa... but of course this is all just my opinion.

+1 on these two issues.

These are the two biggest issues right now for me.

How can i use them in a message? I found and , but nothing about parameters

Hmm, I'm not sure where that information is on the wiki, assuming it's there at all. Does it work if you use what was used for the Legacy version, http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/ShowMessage#Formatting_messages?

I tried what you have linked, and it works! As it's written, u can't place them in buttons and pass just float. Better then nothing
I don't know why they didn't write it in CK wiki

Thank u

Another vote.

Allowing new animations is a must!

Thanks for the confirmation, Mastrocane. I've brought it up on the wiki's http://www.creationkit.com/Talk:Message page, but until it's been tested fully I'm not confident in just copying the entire section across. Could you tell me which specific bits of formatting you can confirm to work?

The information you’re seeking is on the http://www.creationkit.com/Show_-_Message#Notes

How did I miss that?

Thanks SmkViper!

What's the status on the podcast? This was supposed to happen last week right? Or is it recorded already but not edited and published? Is there a date?

I'm looking at http://www.bethblog.com/podcast/ and the last episode is from last year.

So thats for messages, but can we display ingame titles like in the opening sequence? There is the http://www.creationkit.com/ShowTitleSequenceMenu_-_Game command, but that appears to be for the menu. Can we display ingame titles?

Any chance we'll see the damage multipliers become editable again on body part data, for locational damage?

Since the "x-axis -64/64-havok bug" is "http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1352988-fixing-the-64x64-cell-havok-bug-for-when-you-just-want-a-bigger-world/page__view__findpost__p__20419923" by shadeMe i want to change my question:

Would it be maybe possible to work more together with the modding community in the future to fix issues together with them? There are a lot of geniuses and working together on issues and bugfixes would help the whole gaming communityl

lol, i missed it too

I also want to be able to create new animations!!

Quick question to whoever wants to answer: Is it possible to create a mine-game like a card game, chess or drinking game with the tools available? If not what is needed?
