Almost every effing time I fire up the creation kit, Steam thinks I'm still running it after I shut it down. This occurs especially when the CK crashes. Does anyone else ever suffer from this nonsense? Is there a fix? A workaround?

In response to post #39485330. #39488480, #39488735 are all replies on the same post. AFAIK there shouldn't be any difference. Console mod problems will come from the the same source as PC mod problems: load order. It's not like you can write a mod that will physically destroy a console.

This works: Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster) (DialogueFollowerExtended as XFLScript).XFL_AddFollower(akTarget) EndEvent But this doesn't: Function SetFollower(ObjectReference FollowerRef) actor FollowerActor = FollowerRef as Actor (DialogueFollowerExtended as XFLScript).XFL_AddFollower(FollowerActor) EndFunction Clearly I'm doing something wrong, but what?

Actually, I can't seem to get it working, even after installing SKSE. I tried appending -editor to the end of skse_launcher, but I get an error message that says I don't need to launch the Creation Kit that way. Scripts relying on SKSE are not compiling, at all. EDIT: Nevermind, it's because I upgraded SKSE without updating the Creation Kit. Which I can't, since I'm using the non-Steam version. I swear, sometimes I think the only reason I post here is so I can go out and solve my own problems.

Making changes to DialogueFollowerScript and not getting anything out of it. Function SetFollower(ObjectReference FollowerRef) actor FollowerActor = FollowerRef as Actor ;Default follower script FollowerActor.GetLeveledActorBase().SetEssential(false) FollowerActor.GetLeveledActorBase().SetProtected(false) FollowerActor.GetLeveledActorBase().SetInvulnerable(false) EndFunction None of this seems to allow my followers to die, even after re-recruiting them. EDIT: I think unchecking "protected" in the "follower" alias in Creation Kit was also necessary.

http://www.creationkit.com/GetOutfit_-_ActorBase Creation Kit says: "GetOutfit is not a function or does not exist" when trying to compile exactly what's shown on the damn page. EDIT: Nevermind, I see now that it requires SKSE.

I can't seem to find in the Creation Kit where the actual effects of selecting a dialogue branch are laid out. For instance, making someone become a follower by selecting, "Follow me. I need your help." What if I wanted to make a spell that had the same result?

Trying to write and attach a script to the torch light object that would make it dim more and more before ultimately burning out. I don't like the way that torches just go out of nowhere. Seems like it should be a really simple script to write, but I don't know enough about Papyrus to get it done. Anyone want to lend a hand?

http://code.google.com/p/skyrim-plugin-decoding-project/source/browse/TES5Edit/trunk/Edit+Scripts/Skyrim+-+Tweak+bloom,+eyes+adaptation,+tint.pas?r=1031 You can use this code in TES5edit. Run it on the "image space" section after deep-override copying it to a new file. Run it on any lighting mods you have as well.

Subtitles only for characters not using voice files during dialogue interaction. Otherwise, off.

I know there is a mod to make bards sing on request, but I don't actually want to walk up to them and ask them to play. I also don't want them to play as often as they do. What's the best way to add a random timer in between songs to the song playing script?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVxAroLZm7c I've been using Skyrim Configurator to test out all kinds of settings to increase draw distances, and basically maxed them all out. I'm even able to run a stable 9 uGridsToLoad without crashing, but I can't find a single value that changes the draw distance for the moss that shows up on buildings and walls. I've got trees and grass loading at football fields away and yet this stuff only comes into view when I get right up on it. I'm not having any issues with interior spaces, either, which I've seen some ATI fixes for. I have an NVidia GTX 580, an i7, and 16 gigs of RAM. I'm getting rock solid framerates and no lag, even on maxed out settings. I've tried changing things in the NVidia control panel, but no change. I've tried disabling AA and AF in both the game and the card and that didn't fix it. I'm convinced that there is an .ini setting overlooked by the Configurator, or one that I'm not seeing, or perhaps an internal game setting that governs this distance, but I can't find anything. EDIT: Found the solution. Added the following lines to my Skyrim.ini: [LightingShader] fDecalLODFadeEnd=0.7000 fDecalLODFadeStart=0.6000 These are pretty extreme distances. If you don't have a beast of a system, you might want to lower them a bit. A tenth here is equal to about a thousand where most other distance values are concerned.

Did anyone ever figure this out for certain? I've found settings for all kinds of things but the building detail (moss) doesn't seem to be one of them, and I've tried all the settings mentioned here.
