HEK vs. TES4 construction set
Posted: Sat May 05, 2007 4:27 pm
Ok,
ive recentely been playing with the elderscrolls construction set and i was sorta comaareing it too the Halo editing kit and trying too decide which was a "better" dev tool. so now im starting a thread. and because alot of you probalyy never enven heard of the elder scrolls construction set im gonna post some pictures at the bottom of it.
heres some main points id like too make.
HEK pros and cons
-pro- Renders in real time.
-con- Is partially retarded and sapein is a beatch
-pro- modeling is decently well done
-pro-has a LARGE dev community (halomods)
-con- sapein is still a beatch and ai is pretty hard too set up at times.
-con- tool
-con- radiosity... 17 hours... im going too die
-con- alot of time you get and error and it says "error 1342 plz contact your nearest bungie programer for asistance
-ultra con- scripting
TES construction set pros and cons (note that im not anywhere near as experianced in the TESCS so i may not give a "fully balanecd" comparasisn.
-con- not real time
-pro- dosent crash as much as sapein
-pro- the cell view works pretty dam well
-pro- placeing objects and AI is really REAAAALLLY easy.
-pro- editing objects is well done except when you try and dupelicate stuff i haent got that working yet.
-pro- saveing mods is cool cause they save as plugins and you put them in a folder and you just write the .ini too load them and it works great
-con- paning and rotateing the camera is a complete beatch in the render view
-con- the building block style build mode is also a complete and utter beatch until youve gotten used too it and i still havent.
-con- something... i forgot though.
id like too see what you guys have too add.
oh and heres some pictures of the construction set.
(note: i was about too take a screen shot of sapein but it crashed.. add another con too HEK )
(another note: i crashed tescs but i still got a picture lol)\
note that the creature i was about too place was a zombie. because i love zombiez especailly when there eating poor citizen nubz brainz out. cause its like citizen: "Zomg itz like za Zombiez OH NOES!!!!"
....
edit-
im sorry i think i was high.....
