Storyboard UI

Storyboard UI

The mod is intended as a supporting mod for the w2scene encoder from the radish modding tools. It enables the interactive setup of a rough scene draft consisting of multiple shots which include camera setup, arrangement of multiple actors, preview and assignment of actor animations, mimics and look-ats. The shot collection can be logged as a scene definition, manually tuned and used as input for the w2scene encoder.

The latest radish modding tools w2scene encoder is required to encode the scene definition as w2scene to be playable in-game!

!!! SPOILER ALERT !!!

The mod contains ALL templates from vanilla + both expansions. You have been warned!

  Make sure you read the "Known Issues" section before reporting problems!

  The mod depends heavily on the usage of hotkeys! There is a context sensitive online help popup with all usable hotkeys for the current context (translations are welcome!). The default hotkey for the help is F12 once the Storyboard UI is started. Watch the videos and make sure you make yourself familiar with the hotkeys from the help!

  Since version 0. 8 the mod can be started/maximized via hotkey (default F7) or with "sbui" in the console. The time of day is saved and frozen on opening the Storyboard UI and restored once you minimize or quit the mod.
