[Skyrim Magic Usage]

Possible? Yes.

Easy? No.

 

Here we talk a whole magic overhaul. If you want dual cast, we also ask for hardcore scripted things. This is something that would take a lot of time. Understand that about every decent modder is playing Skyrim and cooking up ideas now. I never believed I could be looking so much forward to the CK. When will it be released?! >.<

 

On a second note: Get skyrim. It's awesome. It needs some work with mods, but generally awesome!

 

Cheers,

Matth

This. It will be at least eight more months before I can afford a PC that will run Skyrim, so I may get it for PS3 until then. Given that length of time, I may actually hold off buying it for PC until the GotY edition is released (and you know they'll have one).

[Reclaiming Sancre Tor- Bruin won't talk to the horse seller]

That unfortunately didn't solve my problem. I tried it with a save at the barracks before I left, then I reached the Flowing Bowl with Bruin. I got there with general subtitles on and he just looked at him. He never said a word to him. Is there a patch, or a later version of this mod that isn't on TESnexus?

The most current version is 1.0.3. DarkRider has a lot going on right now, but should be releasing 1.0.4 within the next week or two. Until then, you may have to resort to typing setstage aaRCMQ03 16 in the console to advance the quest. Some other users have had to do the same.

[What do you think of "modding" ?]

Hello.

Greetings.

 

What do people think of modding, do you think it is good, or bad? Why do you think that?

I think it's good. It greatly extends the life of the game.

 

How did you get into modding?

I downloaded a few, then decided I wanted to start making them.

 

What is your favourite mod?

I can't answer that. There are so many amazing mods out in so many different categories that I can't choose just one.

 

Why do you think people bother making mods?

To "fix" what some deem to be flawed, to create strange new worlds to explore, to add great quests, to expand existing quests, just for fun...the list could go on for several pages. Some people just like to tinker with things. I certainly do.

 

Why do you download and play mods?

To fix what I deem to be flawed, to explore strange new worlds, to play entirely new quests and extensions to existing quest lines, to learn how something was done so I can do it myself...I could keep listing things, but it all comes down to personalizing my game. Mods allow a levels of personalization that most games simply don't have. What makes this so appealing for games like Oblivion, Morrowind, Fallout 3 & Fallout: New Vegas is that they are role playing games and mods add a much greater ability to actually role play.

[Gmod Content Policy & Content Index System]

Gee whizz is this still going on ... has the word not successfully gone out that the guys from G-mod are anathema and not to be trusted anymore than a one-legged dog running the Boston marathon ? ... my apologies to the one-legged dog.

Yep, it's still going on. On the plus side, GMod no longer actually hosts mods without the author's consent. They just put mod descriptions up (free advertising for us modders). On the downside, they (try) to link those descriptions directly to the Nexus servers. Unacceptable. So far, I've found eleven of my mods there. I've tried repeatedly to "claim" my account, but have yet to hear back from them. Clearly, they want to get content without the inconvenience of dealing with those who create it. GMod = Fail.

[Do you own any firearms?]

Do you own any firearms?

Yes I do:

Walther P-99

Glock-19

Taurus PT-92

Mossberg 500

Citori 625 Feather

 

Do you use them for target shooting, home defense, hunting

All of the above.

[Reclaiming Sancre Tor- Bruin won't talk to the horse seller]

I've got another problem: during the quest "The Horse Seller", Bruin will not talk to him to progress the quest. I've tried waiting three days, and it didn't fix it. What exactly do I need to do? My mod list is attached to this post.

I ran into that problem, too. The solution was to turn on general subtitles (in-game option). As it turned out, Bruin did speak with the horse seller. but I couldn't tell because the dialogue was silent. If I interrupted the conversation by talking to the horse seller myself, the conversation wouldn't resume and the quest wouldn't update.

[OBSE Meshes, Icons and Failure]

As far as I know, OBSE can't detect files that are still in a BSA archive. Try setting up a custom icon directory (such as Textures/Menus/Icons/MyStuff), put the icons you want to use in it and see if you can get OBSE to redirect there.

[Robe of the Rouge Mage]

Hello, I am a beginning modder for oblivion, and I've been having trouble making my custom robes. It's just basicly the green robes, with the green replaced with dark red, and the brown replaced with black. I made the dds. texture and everything, but it won't work right. If someone could make it for me and name it "Crimson Robe" I would be very thankful. Here's the link to the texture file.

See my reply in your other topic. :thumbsup:

[Texture Fail]

I'm new to modding the textures to objects, so I read the beginners guide on the wiki for the construction set. it said to download texture replacer and a couple other programs, so I did and they ran well. I've been trying to make a recolor of one of the robes, and I made the texture file already on gimp. But when I added it to the mesh and put it on oblivion and try to wear it, my body turns invisible and the robe is like sticking out of my chest with a bunch of random colors. How do I fix it?

That is due to a missing NormalMap. NormalMaps basically tell textures how to fit on a mesh and they have the same name as the related texture, but with _n at the end. Example:

 

Robe.dds <---- The main texture for a robe

Robe_n.dds <---- The NormalMap for the texture

 

There are two ways to use the original NormalMap for your new robe texture:

 

1. Copy the original normalmap ot a temporary location, rename it to match your new robe texture (remember to put _n at the end) and move it to the same folder as your new texture. Example:

NewRobeTexture.dds

NewRobeTexture_n.dds

 

2. Put your new robe texture in the same folder as the original and change your texture's name to match, but with a description after a _. Example:

 

Robe.dds <---- The original robe texture

Robe_MyRetex.dds <---- Your custom texture made from the original

 

The advantage of method 2 is that your new texture will use the same NormalMap as the original. It will also use the original texture's GlowMap (if it has one).

[Some Scripting Help]

Drain Speed 100 points for 1 second has been known to make enemies "forget" they were just attacked. Not sure if it'll work on a guard, but you can give it a try.

[Persuasion broken, help please!]

For every NPC is just says disposition maxed

If their disposition is maxed, you can't persuade them because there's no longer a reason to. It's that way even without mods.

[Dread Armor effect]

EDIT: I tried it and it kinda worked (now my character has white haze around him, instead of that black smoke) but it wasn't exactly what i wanted. I want my char to become partially transparent like spectral warriors.

I finally got a chance to look it over in the CS. In addition to using PMS EffectGhost, you need to use SAA (SetActorAlpha). To use that properly, you need to alter these two lines of the script:

 

Player.PlayMagicShaderVisuals effectDreadArmorOOOalt

 

and

 

Player.StopMagicShaderVisuals effectDreadArmorOOOalt

 

Change them to:

 

Player.PlayMagicShaderVisuals effectGhost
Player.SAA 0.01

 

and

 

Player.StopMagicShaderVisuals effectGhost
Player.SAA 1

 

You may need to play around with the SAA value a bit, but that should get you the transparency effect you want.

[Dread Armor effect]

Sorry, i didn't quite get that, I'm not very familiar with modding. Do you mean that i should just copy+paste that code into DreadScriptOOO?

No, definitely not. That would make the DreadScriptOOO stop working. No, I was proposing a slight alteration to DreadScriptOOO that would add an object with DreadArmorTokenGhostEffectScript to the player's inventory (although the Begin OnUnEquip block needs to be removed. What was I thinking when I put that in there?).

[Female Gundam Armor(Exia)]

You might be interested in the Gundam Armor Pack.

[New Weapons and Armors]

If I understand your post correctly, you want a mod that adds lots of new armors and weapons. If so, try Armamentarium Complete by TrollF.

[Dread Armor effect]

Hey!

 

I think it would be cool if wearing all pieces of Dread Armor (added in OOO) turned player to look like a ghost (like the spectral warriors). I'd do it myself but i have no idea how to do it. Can somebody do it for me or give me some help how to do it myself?

This is actually pretty easy to do. You could slightly modify DreadScriptOOO to add a token to the Player's inventory (if the GetItemCount for that token is 0) and script the token to check and see if the other armor pieces are equipped, then play the GhostEffect if they are. An example script for the token would be:

 

scn DreadArmorTokenGhostEffectScript

Short GhostPlay

Begin GameMode

If Player.GetEquipped DreadBootsOOO == 1 && Player.GetEquipped DreadCuirassOOO == 1 && Player.GetEquipped DreadGauntletsOOO == 1 && Player.GetEquipped DreadGreavesOOO == 1 && Player.GetEquipped DreadHelmetOOO == 1 && GhostPlay == 0

Player.pms GhostEffect
Set Ghostplay to 1

ElseIf  GhostPlay == 1 && Player.GetEquipped DreadBootsOOO == 0 || GhostPlay == 1 && Player.GetEquipped DreadCuirassOOO == 0 || GhostPlay == 1 && Player.GetEquipped DreadGauntletsOOO == 0 || GhostPlay == 1 && Player.GetEquipped DreadGreavesOOO == 0 || GhostPlay == 1 && Player.GetEquipped DreadHelmetOOO == 0

 Player.sms GhostEffect
 Set GhostPlay to 0
Endif
End

Begin OnUnEquip Player
If GhostPlay == 1
 Player.sms GhostEffect
EndIf
End

 

Try that and see if it works.

[Strange Model Exploding Glitch]

So this is happening with the Player character and NPCs? I see two possibilities here:

 

1. The skeleton.nif and skeletonbeast.nif were replaced by something that's not compatible with existing clothing/armor. Try replacing them with Coronerra's Maximum Compatibility Skeleton and see if that helps.

 

2. There are missing NormalMap textures for some (or all) of the outfits. NormalMaps basically tell textures how to fit on a mesh and they have the same name as the related texture, but with _n at the end. Example:

 

Robe.dds <---- The main texture for a robe

Robe_n.dds <---- The NormalMap for the texture

[Reclaiming Sancre Tor]

It is possible that you need to rename the BSA's to be sure that the game sees them. I would rename them to Oblivion-(original name here) so that the game finds them with no issues to see if that helps out.

The game would not recognize them if you did that. The names for the BSAs are supposed to be:

 

ReclaimSancreTor - Meshes.bsa

ReclaimSancreTor - Sounds.bsa

ReclaimSancreTor - Textures.bsa

[Reclaiming Sancre Tor]

Installed Reclaiming Sancre Tor, lots of missing meshes signs. Installed with Mod Manager several times, wondering if I missed something. Thanks

There's no need to install it with OBMM. Just put the .esp and the three .bsa archives (meshes, textures & sound) in your Oblivion\Data file and you're ready to go. I've had no problems with it that way. If that doesn't fix your issue, try asking in the Reclaiming Sancre Tor: Support on TES Alliance. DarkRider and his team a testers are pretty quick with their answers.

[Making new weapon in Construction Set]

So, excellent advice on enchantment costs and usages. One more question, though: My game crashes whenever I pull out an arrow in which a fire damage enchantment has been placed on it that has a magnitude of 500. Am I breaking the game by introducing variables that aren't normally achievable via normal enchanting, or is there a different reason it crashes only when I pull one of those from my quiver?

The magnitude isn't the problem. I just tested and I was able to successfully fire an arrow with a Shock Damage magnitude of 10,000. Something else must be causing the problem.
