[Paid mods for skyrim workshop on steam]

So much bad rep for a meager 25%, who would do that :S

[I need a modeler (and maybe a texturer)]

Neat idea!

[Auriel's Sword]

@ Millenia: I get what you're saying, but at the same time using his blade was an optional best case scenario. If Isilmeriel's permission was acquired and the blade ended up being used in a release, i had already planned on making a donation to him as well for his contribution to my request.

 

Her.

 

:P

[Weird Blocky Fire Textures?]

Disable all your mods and run it at its vanilla state, does it still happen?

[what do you think of this model?]

skirt!

[Nazgul Mod]

You can't get his mod here because unlike Steam, Nexus does not allow stolen contents. He didn't make the outfit, he took the mesh and texture from Lord of the Rings Conquest, like he previously did with Sauron's armour. He's been banned here for half a dozen times or so. The guy doesn't make stuff, he steals them.

[Akaviri player house?]

Being generally disappointed with the Hearthfire homes, I want to resurrect an old idea about making a new Akaviri styled home, modelled after Japanese architecture somewhere with a nice scenic view, and perhaps an Asian-themed garden. I don't plan on using vanilla skyrim assets for the architecture and can handle the modelling of new tilesets. I am however terrible with creation kit landscaping and object placement or anything to do with CK in general, so would need some expert help in that department.

 

So in case anyone is skilled with CK area generation and has previous experiences, please let me know if this is something you'd be interested in.

[Copyright/Licensing question]

Bethesda is pretty clear against porting materials from one product to another, and this probably includes DLCs. It does not matter whether you modify the mesh and textures, if you used even a small part of them, your mod will be stuck specifically for that product, to do otherwise would violate EULA. There's really no ambiguity about it as far as I know.

 

To enforce things on your end, you need to make your mod dependent on the dawnguard esm.

[Custom Weapon Problems]

Yeah I always send mirrored UVs to the +1 tile.

[blinking glow map like Volundrung]

Thanks, Ghogiel. Do you happen to know the what the numbers representing target variable in interpolators correspond with?

 

It's set at 11 right now which apparently controls glow multiplier. Which one controls alpha opacity?

[blinking glow map like Volundrung]

I'm trying to replicate the smootly blinking glow effect from Volundrung onto my custom weapon, with some modifications. Volundrung's nif has a BSLightingPropertyColourController with a few things nested under it in a really confusing structure. I tried copying the branch over to my own weapon and then changing the mesh and textures to mine but I failed to observe the animated glow. Can anyone please help me with this? I can seCund over the nif and textures.

 

Currently I have a static glow and it's incredibly boring and artificial-looking. Some blinking or oscillation should make it much more dynamic.

[Custom Weapon Problems]

Did you happen to only bake half of the model and then just symmetried to make the other side? That'd explain the very obvious seams. If you intend to bake half a symmetrical mesh, you need to make sure the other half has a different smoothing group than the first.

 

To make a chrome effect, use a really dark diffuse texture, and then apply an envmap, perhaps the aptly named textures\cubemaps\chrome_e.dds

[Toggle weapon visual effect/enchantment?]

I've asked this before but that was prior to SKSE and all the fancy new stuff. Is there any way using CK scripting or SKSE to make a particular visual effect (eg. glow) or enchantment togglable with either a hotkey or a script? Would appreciate any help.

[Weapon Sheath Question.]

wrist? The weapon itself needs to have the grip at 0,0,0 to have the hand grip there. The scabbard will match the weapon position so that it looks sheathed, but will not move with the weapon when you draw it. If however you want the scabbard to attach to some other bone instead of the scabbard waist bone, then that's more of an animation issue where you'd need to tweak the bones themselves.

[Weapon Sheath Question.]

The name scb determines if it moves or not with the weapon. However, you may only have 1 object called scb under the main node, so if you rename your dagger scb in addition to the original scabbard, it would not work properly. There's an easy solution to this. Simply make another Bsfade node under the main node and name it scb, then copy and paste any scabbard trishapes into this new scb node. This is useful if your scabbard has separate parts, but isn't necessary if you only have one nitrishape called scb.

[minas tirith LOTR player home/]

Because it's cool to spend 800 hours building a mountain sized house for one person to live in :facepalm:

 

On a more serious note, probably will have more luck to pick out a specific building inside the city and provide plenty of detailed reference shots, if you seriously want anything.

[nifskope function tutorials]

That or disable the vertex colour tag in the shader properties of that NiTriShape

[Any reason modders can't control the comments section?]

On a related note, others might have suggested this before but it'd be nice to have a section just above the commenting tab where the mod author can post some FAQs. It dawned to me that most commenters don't bother to read the description page and ask questions that have been answered time and time again. There are times I feel like -99 the comments that repeatedly ask the same questions, but then I'd be hiding the vast majority of the comments...

[what armor theme do you prefer?]

King of the North sounds great, very Game of Thrones-ish, especially with a fur cloak.

[Any major skyrim mod team efforts?]

Aside from Issagar, do any of these mods add a new worldspace? I checked the Alagaesia site but they haven't posted much progress. I'm mostly interested in making architecture, weapons and items. Too bad none of the old morrowind teams decided to start adding the rest of Tamriel, one small piece at a time.

[Windows that light up at night?]

I can't get emittance working for me and couldn't find a tutorial on window lighting with it. In the end I managed to use the script I linked above on a separate lit version of the windows to toggle them on and off based on time.

[Any major skyrim mod team efforts?]

Will keep an eye out, thanks :)

[Windows that light up at night?]

I've seen a few mods that does this but being incompetent with anything scripting, I couldn't make heads or tails. Can anyone walk me through how to create a window that's pitch black during the day and light up at night? In addition to the window, I'd like to add an actual light that only turns on at night.

 

Edit: I found a script for light switching on and off (http://www.creationkit.com/Light_Switch), but still no idea how toggle on and off the glow of the window mesh at night

[Any major skyrim mod team efforts?]

@FalloutBeast: I'll have a look at them, thanks

 

@VileTouch: I have a few things under my profile

 

@Durai: Isn't Wars in Skyrim a mod that increases random spawns? What does it need a modeller for?

[Any major skyrim mod team efforts?]

Out of curiosity, are there any serious skyrim modding team projects ongoing? Any of them needing modellers in particular?
