I never played Oblivion, I really hated Morrowind and FO3 so I refused to give it a try.
But that sounds pretty awesome.

Someone with a lot of voice acting who is context chatty and/or has a questline of some length. Not interested in anything else, and thank God you're not planning on making it 'sexy.'

Ah! I was wondering when you'd comment. Glad to have reminded you, then. :) I didn't want to pester too much.

This is true. But I think it's more likely he'll find a way to create a fireball at the target (admittedly, I haven't figured this out yet) than he will getting around what I suspect is a hardcoded projectile speed limit.

Stances & Tactical Combat - Lore & Adventure Friendly - Support for Hybrids and Pures - Focused Spell List - Constant Balance Updates
Welcome to The Revenge of Colette, where every school is a perfectly valid school of magic! Though there are many good spell packages available for Skyrim, it is my firm belief that The Revenge of Colette cannot settle for being merely good - we're out here to be the best. That means we do things a little differently here:
Download Links:
• Revenge of Colette on the Nexus
• Revenge of Colette on Steam Workshop
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V08-wutux_c&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_p5SVW0nhR8&feature=relmfuhttp://i.imgur.com/Ziv14.png• Everyone's Magical! The Revenge of Colette can lay sole claim to the creation of Magic Stances, techniques which enhance mages and take hybrid spellcaster gameplay to the next level. We've added a handful of carefully selected spells equipped to the voice key - not on the shout cooldown - to make full use of this.
• Combo Power! Use the unique Focus system to chain together your attacks for maximum awesome - just make sure to carefully weigh when you use your abilities so they're not wasted.
• Immersive and Entertaining! We believe that good spell design does not have to conflict with lore-friendly spell design, and each and every one of our spells is written with the principle that it should look cool in a movie, make sense in a book, and be fun in a game.
• Small Spell List! The Revenge of Colette is made with a handful of heavily-vetted spells, so you won't find yourself overwhelmed with an overly unfamiliar spell list. Each of these few spells is intended to be worth the time it took to draw them and the time it will take to sheath them later.
• Adventure! Every single one of the new spells in Revenge of Colette comes in a fully readable tome or on a piece of paper that adds to the feel of the world, and the spells aren't located at vendors, but throughout the world.
• Ease! ...But if you don't want to go all over Skyrim, I've included a method to just get everything from the get-go, no restrictions. Just look up "Debugger's Revenge" in the command console - grab that book, open it, you'll get every single book written for this mod.
http://i.imgur.com/KowrT.pngA Revenge of Colette exclusive feature, stances benefit every type of combat gameplay there is. They will change the way you play, the way you look at your spells, and - for Destruction Mages - the meaning of your elemental specializations. They all follow a basic gameplay structure:
Voice Button: Typically increases focus by one, has additional benefit. Nine-second cooldown.
Unleash: Press the Voice Button while you have maximum focus.
Power and Bow Attack: Costs 2 to 6 focus (depending on stance) and unleashes a powerful benefit.
Melee Attacks: Add one focus.
Bow Bashes: Add two focus.
Cast Spell: Add two focus.
Passive: Passive perk benefit in this stance.
To learn the stances, you must first read Aela's Note in Jorrvaskr. Use the spell it teaches you at each of the seven places of power - then while the spell is active, shoot a full power arrow into the sun.
The locations of the seven stances are detailed along with the rest of the spells in the next section. In-game, you get a handy guide with each of your stances that will explain how to make best use of them, so don't worry if you feel a little overwhelmed!

Installation
To install, simply unpack the mod and drop it into your Data folder. Whenever you feel you don't want to use the mod or uninstall it, get rid of any files that begin with the words "ColettesR" :)
http://i.imgur.com/V7ZTI.pngThis is not a list of every mod I like or use or would recommend; this just handles the mods that I think are pertinent to this mod, particularly (but not only) its sense of balance.
Apocalypse Spell Package, by EnaiSiaion
Gives a fantastic array of new spells. I'll be aiming to build my spells around what Enai offers, rather than to replace. He also offers a much larger selection, while I focus on a handful of multipurpose spells.
PISE (Pluto's Improved Skyrim Experience), by Pluto
Improves the Enemy AI.
Duel - Combat Realism, by LogRaam
Adds depth to the melee combat system, making stamina more important.
I'm not really the sort of person into most ENBs, but this one caught my eye - it's very pretty and pretty good on the resource situation, and the mod authors are nice people.
My own little control map for the 360 Controller. I personally find it more suitable for combat than most of the ones uploaded here, and it's what I playtest with.

I like workshop. It's very user-friendly, allows for quick install and doesn't host adult content. Very safe. It also, beyond banning nudity and sexual content, is not so strict compared to the nexus, you'd be surprised. I only ever use and must resort to nexus for modding questions. I hope more people will use the steam workshop, for smaller mods, or non-veteran modders, at least. That's my naive opinion on the steam workshop.
The Workshop's End-User Friendliness is why I bother to use it at all; as a modder, I prefer Nexus (though I have personal gripes here with the site, too). I keep my mod mirrored on the Workshop and have made changes to the mod specifically to support additional Workshop streamlining as opposed to maintenance of multiple ESPs.

Change the spell from Aimed to Target Actor - should do the trick. It will no longer need a projectile of any kind then.
-
I'm purely following how it's supposed to work in the Wiki (which has been known to be wrong.)
The problem with the MarkerHeading is that I can get it to work just fine for moving to a static point, but at the end of the spell, you're supposed to be transported back to where you originally cast it - I can't figure out how to make that work with a MarkerHeading.
By the way, I used some of your tutorials when I was starting out - thanks.
-
I can manually arrive at this cell just fine with the console code. In the script, however, it just fails and leaves me at my original location when casting.

Appears to work, thanks.
-
If I define a variable in one event on an activemagiceffect script (e.g. Event OnEffectStart), how can I ensure that the variable retains its value for another event (e.g. Event OnEffectFinish)? I haven't had any luck with this so far.
Thanks.
-
...What did I just read? :\
-
Oh, sorry - I didn't mean to make that a complaint directed at you, just a general musing for the website.
-
I'm inclined to say that's more a problem with the layout than the users - the existence of the readme is not all that obvious and a lot of modders just include their instructions on the frontpage (though I tried, but couldn't find, your mod so maybe you tell them where it is on the frontpage.) I wasn't aware of the existence of the readme until I uploaded my first mod last month.
-
And can this be done with user images? I have a really crappy comp and one of my users has posted some beautiful images from his ENB-enhanced game that I'd like to put up.

Topic title.

I refuse to run any mods that use SKSE... except for SkyUI, which is just a must.

Flying with "Fus Ro Dah" isn't the problem. The only ones who ever tried it had not thought out the landing problem, which is why we have no reports of the experiment. Just one more skeleton laying around the wilderness. :)
Fus Ro Dah as you get near the ground.

Boethiah's all about assassinations and secret plots. If they're just using sneak on that armor to trigger an AoE damage aura that screws with actually doing assassination business, I have no idea what to think of that. It seems silly and poorly thought out.
I have never had the armor myself. I killed the whole camp to avoid the risk of them luring any innocents there to sacrifice them.
You can still complete the quest, Boethiah is a Daedric Prince after all, and actually thanks you for killing all those 'weak' worshipers ... Just activate the shrine and you'll still be given the quest ...
I um... I don't want anything to do with Boethiah, is the point. Meridia, Sanguine and Sheogorath are the only Daedric Princes I ran into that didn't tick me off. I would never sacrifice anyone to her, follower or otherwise.

Bounty hunters, in my experience, are totally random and there's no NPC that always sends a bounty hunter after you.
-
The specific effect I'm trying to make is along the lines of:
For <3> seconds, blocking reflects a large amount of damage at attackers. The damage you reflect and take is higher when not using a shield. <18> second CD.
I'm willing to extend the duration to around ~6 seconds if it's necessary for me to use weaker effects, but the simple 'ReflectDamage' actor value appears to hardcap at 100 even through forceav, and multiple applications don't result in damage stacking either, unlike normal damage. It would take reflecting around four hits to match the damage from a good strike from the player, which means it's not worth the time to cast unless it's an always on effect - and my mod's not in the business of making perk fixes, there are enough comprehensive perk overhauls out there. It could also be a medium duration buff of about 60 seconds, but I frankly believe those to be boring gameplay design unless the buff completely changes things. (ie, Adrenaline Rush, which I think is more susceptible to criticisms of balance than interest); they result in the player spending more time before a fight hiding in a corner or during the fight in the pause screen and throwing up their buffs before switching to what they -really- want to use.
So how I'm trying to achieve it.
OnHit:
Scriptname astral_innerserenity extends Perk Actor Property PlayerRef auto Spell Property akSpell auto Event OnHit(Actor akAggressor, Form akSource, Projectile akProjectile, bool abPowerAttack, bool abSneakAttack, bool abBashAttack, bool abHitBlocked) PlayerRef = Game.GetPlayer() IF akAggressor != PlayerRef && PlayerRef.IsInCombat() && akAggressor.IsHostileToActor(PlayerRef) ; The above is really to rule out run of the mill physical traps. IF ((akAggressor .GetEquippedItemType(0) == 8) || (akAggressor .GetEquippedItemType(1) == 8) \ || (akAggressor .GetEquippedItemType(0) == 9) || (akAggressor .GetEquippedItemType(1) == 9)) && akProjectile != None ;most likely, the attack was spell damage akSpell = akSource as Spell akSpell.cast(PlayerRef, akAggressor) ELSEIF (akAggressor .GetEquippedItemType(0) != 7) && akProjectile == None ;most likely, the attack was melee damage. Come up with a revenge spell. ELSEIF (akAggressor .GetEquippedItemType(0) == 7) ;most likely, the attack was ranged damage. Come up with a revenge spell. ENDIF ENDIF EndEventProblem: When I insert debug notifications to test if this script is firing, it's clearly not. I don't understand how I'm supposed to use an OnHit Script if it's invalid in ActiveMagicEffect and doesn't receive effects via a perk the actor has.
METHOD #2:
Apply Weapon Swing Spell as a Perk Entry Point. Documentation says that it's supposed to grant the target of your weapon attacks a perk with Apply Combat Hit Spell using the spell you chose. I thought I could be clever and make a detrimental spell that damages the wielder if they attack someone who is currently blocking and has a specific spell effect. I made a simple script spell to test this out - it kills the weapon's bearer when they make an attack, minus the conditions I just mentioned. Not the final effect I want to use, but it made for easy testing to see if something was wrong. Well, something was wrong.
Scriptname Astral_KillWielder extends activemagiceffect Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster) akCaster.kill() EndEvent
Well, akCaster turned out to be me, not the NPCs wielding the weapons. Switching it out for akTarget didn't work so well, either. That was still me.
-
I believe I read on the UESP Wiki that her survival is a bug and the game doesn't really react to it at all.
-
Did you really just censor stupid?
I bring followers along out of habit from other games, but when Erandur and Mjoll are the chattiest and wittiest of the bunch, that... oh, they're no Alistair or Garrus, that's for sure.
