![]() Naturally, I changed race, classType, and a few other property values to match what I felt works for Kate. Use a graphics program (or on the web) to find HTML color codes. I changed the nameColor from pink to purple. When making a new character profile, simply change property values instead of hunting through the layout text. These tags in the properties section make it easier to edit such that the values will be used later, possibly multiple times, using the title in curly braces. Replace “Camilla” with “Selene” and “Valerius” with “Kate” as shown below in nameFirst and nameLast tags. (Those greater-than and less-than signs are important reserved characters and can’t be used inside other text.) So, if the game freezes, check for errors in the XML file.įirst, we need to change the character’s name. Keep in mind that breaking XML formatting will cause the game to freeze when using OSA to interact with a character. My assumption is reader familiarity with XML, but if not, I’ll go over my edits to turn Camilla’s profile example into Kate’s profile. Use Notepad++ or XML editor of choice, preferably with syntax coloring. Copy Camilla’s example file to this folder and begin editing. The plugin is, Kate.esp so the XML file needs to go in (v.109+) \Data\OSA\Persona\npc\Kate\000D62\profile.xml (v.108B - \Data\meshes\OSP\npc\Kate\000D62\profile.xml). Using the console command, “help selene” I find her NPC ID to be 19 000D62. I’ve picked a custom follower NPC, “Selene Kate” by Kasprutz and Hello Santa, as an example. Look up identifiers using the console help command, or on The Elder Scrolls Wiki for default NPCs such as Camilla’s page where you’ll find her ID listed as Base ID. 01347B is the last 6 characters of Camilla’s identifier. ![]() Profiles for default NPCs go under this Skyrim folder, and a profile for a custom NPC goes under a folder name matching the esp-file without the “.esp” extension. In the Camilla example, we find the file located in (v1.09+) \Data\OSA\Persona\npc\Skyrim\01347B (v.108B - \Data\meshes\OSP\npc\Skyrim\01347B) folder. The file we need is profile.xml which goes in a folder based on the character. Update for OSA v1.09+: profile files moved from meshes to \Data\OSA\Persona\ folder. Grab that to use as a working example to modify. The OSA file downloads includes an optional example of a character profile for Camilla Valerius (of Riverwoood). The lack of a profile is the subject of our task. ![]() The persona is empty, which we won’t cover here. Use numpad-8 to move up the menu, numpad-5 to move down, and numpad-7 to select. Aproach a non-player character (NPC), and press numpad-plus key to reveal a menu including character persona, configuration, and equipment assignments. Go ahead and try OSA out to see how it works. Additional modules add gameplay functionality, but all we need is the OSA framework to access character profiles. After installing OSA, remember to run FNIS generator and after each time adding an OSA animated module. Also check if “PapyrusUtil” has a more recent version. If using “FrostFall” by Chesko, include the Frostfall patch. Take some time to look over the description page to get an idea of what OSA is about and how to interact with it in game. It’s simple to provide extended information using the OSA framework as we’ll do in this exercise.įirst, we need OSA installed. A player could add profiles to followers for personal use such as role-playing value or to simply keep track of preferred armor and weapons, or follower-mod creators can add more background for players using OSA. Potentially this framework adds more interactive storytelling and personality to Skryim, which could extend replay value as we wait several more years for the next The Elder Scrolls chapter. “OSA - Skyrim Ascendancy Engine” framework by CEO provides a means to view character profiles, create personas, employ animations, set character expressions, and more. Let’s say we’ve created a custom NPC for TES V: Skyrim, or we just want to add some story backgrounds to existing characters. How-to: Create an OSA Character Profile for Skyrim
