Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 - The Modding Dungeon Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Modding General Old Neverwinter Nights builder wants to help you!

Hello, everyone!

I have a massive project I will be building over the course of the next couple months.
I've seen a lot of questions here regarding how to use the tool and how daunting it is.
So, I thought I would stream the process.
You're welcome to join, ask questions, and learn together with me.
I'll try and help make the whole thing a bit less confusing.

I will go over the basics for the first time tonight.
And answer any questions after that.
The stream will start around 6:00 PM Central.

Things to cover:
- Editing Terrain
- Creating buildings
- Adding custom NPCs to the GM client
- Decorating with objects
- Decorating with instance brush
- Minor triggers (Doors)

Nice!

Thanks for doing this. Will you be archiving the stream so people who missed the stream can watch it later?

I hadn't thought about that.
I'll definitely archive it!

Awesome. Looking forward to watch it. :o)

Stream is done.
Recording is here for anyone who wants a basic tutorial.

Thanks! I've added it to a "Getting Started" section of community guides (https://docs.larian.game/Community:_Getting_Started) and to the terrain editing section (https://docs.larian.game/Community:_Terrain_painter).

Just watched it. Very nice. I learned some stuff, so thank you. .

Checking it out now, thanks for doing this.

Thank you really helpful

Most welcome!

Sorry for the background noise.
I adjusted my mic settings so it doesn't happen again.
For those who missed the stream, I recorded it.
You can view it here.

I will be streaming again tonight for anyone interested in learning more and watching more progress.
Going to try and tackle a large human city... should be tricky but fun!
Tonight at 6 PM Central.

Just watched your entire video learned quite alot about the house building thanks alot!

Working on a entire village myself at the moment.

Most welcome! Glad I helped.

I am uploading the video from the stream last night.
In this video I, albeit a bit slowly, go over adding custom NPCs to the GM mode, an easier way to copy and paste, generating maps, and AI/Player pathing.

You're stream was really good Caiden!
Thanks for your enthusiasm this early after release!

We included your video in the Community Section. Do let us know if you prefer not to have it up there, then we'll remove it.

We hope to get some focus on small video tutorials and written guides ourselves soon too, once the knowledgeable people are less focused on game improvement, patches,...

Absolutely! I love this sort of thing. Thank you for including me!

I've been building maps and mods since Warcraft 3, so this is my jam. If you have any specific help you'd like while the devs are working on the main game, I'd be glad to be of assistance.

Smaller tutorial videos are definitely easier to digest. That would be better in the long run.

I've decided to set up a schedule for streaming.
I think I'm going to adopt a twice a pattern.
Mondays and Wednesdays, most likely. Starting at 7 PM Central.
Everyone is welcome to come watch, ask questions, and learn together.
I'll be constantly working on areas and things for my campaign.

I look forward to seeing everyone!
