Have their been any character mods or total conversions using the Overgrowth alpha builds?

Yes, there are mods for OG, but they are all in secret preorder forum. So yes you must buy Overgrowth first to get accsess to them.

I made a foxeh. It was shown on an older OG Weekly, although I don't remember if I had it working yet when they featured it.
I also made two otters that crashed OG when I tried to use them and a raptor that works as an NPC, but Crashes as a player. Someone else on the SPF tipped some Blender info to me that may fix those three , so someday I might revisit them and get them working because those otters had a boss head model

Hi.

Someone can say how much is possible to mod this game? For example is same, more or less moddable as TES games? Is it possible to import characters from other games, change animations etc.?
At this momenet I see this game as realy interesting project as game engine, not game itself. So i think share some informations would be... usefull. I know all mods discussion you have in hidden forum. But share some informations, screenshots or even movies will not hurt anybody.

But here is a relly good place to start http://www.youtube.com/user/OGWeekly/videos
This guy makes a live fan made show each week and he then uploads them into there. Also he has made some tutorials that are shorter videos and some mod previews

You can import custom characters in, and have them use the existing animations. So far, there are a handful of characters like this, some of them still have unrecognized problems, others work just fine.

Animations and rigs are done in Blender 3D, so if you can use that you can do custom stuff really easily. Well, in theory - the exporters are available, but not documented, and I think people are having trouble with it.

AI reactions and the control of combat actions, animations and attacks are done in a script that's visible to modders. Movement speed, different animations, targeting, controls etc are moddable already. All user interfaces are done in CSS and XML and other easy-to-use UI tools, and are moddable. However, scripting tools are still a work in progress, so you can't do any big mods yet. Most notably:

* You can't affect most object through scripts. You can't e.g. give a door object a script that opens it when a player is near - these kinds of tools haven't been implemented yet. This is VERY big hole in the modding toolset. It will be implemented later on, at some point, but we don't know when.

* You can define new keys, but can't enter them into the Config file, and I'm not sure if all keys are supported - for example mouse wheel might not be workable yet.
* There are very few UI mods, so people haven't even noticed what's missing yet. Probably lots and lots of stuff.

But yeah, OGWeekly has videos of all the released mods, every week. You can probably find the old ones from Youtube.
