Where's the Steam-folder? Once upon a time I had severe problems with it being in the default (c:\program files(x86)\steam\) location. Windows tried to protect the files there and CK crashed. As soon as I copied Steam to a different location (g:\games\steam) and reinstalled Steam with that folder as a target, everything was fine. I'm using Win 10 Pro (64bit) and MO for a few months now. CK has crashed very very rarely (the only error I get often: CK often won't close when I try to close it, then I have to kill it with the Taskmanager). Not really helpful, just saying Windows 10 Pro alone might not be the guilty one.

I'm learning to work with Blender 2.7, first own armor, and stuff. I'm more of a coder and not very good at Blender, but there's slow progress. Thanks to Anton0028's example-files I had a shortcut for animations, that got some working results quite fast (get www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/62065/? Follow the N3-"Module's" instructions and for example with "Example_Female_UNP.blend" I got quick results, that FNIS and CK can work with). The file had a basic setup (complete Body with rigged Skeleton) and a script to export the data to the desired formats. I think I could do without, the script (save as in blender 2.49-format and export as .kf or .hkx from there), but I really suck at rigging the skeletons. Has anybody published a similiar template for two (or more) actors? Something like this, http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/64629/?, but for blender?

I borrowed the blankets from Clearsky Hideout and attached a script to the basemodels of some beds. Currently only the commoner's single-user beds(say the guards barracks in Whiterun). It's not nice, blankets just appear out of thin air, but it works, see the attached screenshot. However I can't find a nice "on deactivate"-Event. So while I can get a loop-free snippet that places the blanket, I can't remove it, without looking every X seconds for "Still in use?". Looks like a receipe for desaster. Does anybody know a better way for this than RegisterforSingleupdate? Scriptname furniture_autoBlanketSingle extends ObjectReference {Usage for Single Beds} Import MiscUtil; For debugging purposes ObjectReference Property User Auto ; Reference to a Misc item created from Clearsky-hideout Blanket Nif MiscObject Property sheetBaseObj auto ; The container for the actual Sheet ObjectReference Property sheet=None auto Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef) if (akActionRef!=None) PrintConsole(Self +" activated by " + akActionRef) setup(akActionRef) EndIf EndEvent function setup(ObjectReference akActionRef) User=akActionRef (User as Actor).UnequipAll() ; <-Don not sleep in Armor sheet=Self.placeatme(sheetBaseObj) float xR=Self.GetAngleX() float yR=Self.GetAngleY() float zR=Self.GetAngleZ() ; NIF-Model seems to be facing the opposite z-direction: sheet.setAngle(xR,yR,zR+180.0) float xP=Self.GetPositionX() float yP=Self.GetPositionY() float zP=Self.GetPositionZ() ; z-Coord Needs to be adujusted per Bed-Type, I guess: sheet.setPosition(xP,yP,zP+40) RegisterForSingleUpdate(1) EndFunction Event OnUpdate() if(Self.IsFurnitureInUse()) PrintConsole(Self +" still in use by "+User) RegisterForSingleUpdate(3) else PrintConsole(Self +" no longer in use") cleanup() endif EndEvent function cleanup() UnregisterForUpdate() User=None PrintConsole("Trying to remove sheet") if (sheet!=None) PrintConsole("Yep, sheet is still there, so disable and delete it") sheet.DisableNoWait() sheet.delete() sheet=None EndIf EndFunction Event OnCellAttach() PrintConsole(Self +" attached") if(Self.IsFurnitureInUse() && User!=None) OnActivate(User) EndIf EndEvent event OnCellDetach() PrintConsole(Self +" detached") cleanup() EndEvent

Thank you very much!

What unit of mesurement is used in procedures to determite distance? With Cloak-Spells it seems something like "magnitude looks like distance in feet ingame", but procedures seem to work entirely different. For example: http://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=Follow_%28Procedure%29 MinRadius: Specifies the closest that the following actor should be to the target. If too close, the follower will not walk. I used 32.0 here for an NPC-Package, that should follow the Player with a little distance between them, I Figured this to be a little more than 10 meters, yet the NPC with the package tries to stand on my characters feet. Anybody got a clue ?

I'd love to edit the "sleeping NPC"-animation to include a blanket. There are some NPC animations in Sykrim with props like "Pulll a tankard out of thin air and drink from it", so it doesn't sound impossible to include a blanket in another animation, however, besides a very few blender experience, I don't even have a clue where to start. A) Is there such a mod allready? B) If not, does anybody know a tutorial on how to include "props" in an animation? C) if not B) can anybody give me a clue how these animtions are called in Creation Kit, so I can google for it?

Thanks for the heads up. I hope I get at least a little version of the quest going. I tend to get a little to ambitious in details and leave things half finished...

That looks quite awesome. Thank you.

I'm planing a quest wherein I'd like to have the player to play as an NPC/Follower for a little time, most likely interacting with the normal player character (A spirit takes over his/her body, leaving him behind in a different "shell", the Player has got to solve some small quests to get the body back). Is there any mod/quest that does something similiar, so I can take a look at it for some hints?
