I'll look into doing it the nighteye shader way first. If I come across anything that might be interesting, I'll post it here. Thanks, Broken_Code

OBGE seems very good, is it possible to get a good washed-out colour effect using just OBGE? I saw that the colour effects were variable based so I thought I might be able to do away with ScreenEffects as a mod requirement. Just a thought: is there a way to change the colour of the nighteye shaders? If I could make them tint everything grey instead of blue then apply it to my own spell, that'd be perfect! Thanks, Broken_Code

Thanks for the quick reply, what is OBGE? I'm not afraid of scripting, as long as there is sufficient documentation for me to learn from so ScreenEffects looks like a good option. However, I'd like to keep the mod's requirements as close to vanilla as possible, is there a way to get a washed-out or black and white effect from altering shaders somewhere, or would I have to use OBSE anyway? Thanks, Broken_Code

Hello again! OK, my question is: how do I make the screen black and white instead of colour? I ask because I have an idea in my head that requires a lot of flashbacks and it'd look much better if the flashbacks were in black and white (or maybe washed-out colours?). If anyone can help I'd be grateful. Thanks, Broken_Code

Yes, I'm sure it's possible, and I'm quite sure that I've seen a command like that somewhere (CS wiki it). Once you find that the script should be pretty straight foward. eg: Activate OnHit if HitWith MyWeapon ==1 Set ActorHealth to ActorHealth - 10 else Set ActorHealth to GetBaseActorHealth endif End (If something like an OnHit block doesn't exist for weapons you'll have to do some more elaborate coding.) A script something like that, with all the proper variable names, attached to the creature should do the trick (I think). Broken_Code

Yes it's possible, but it'd need some nice coding on the script to get it to work. Here's the way I'd do it: Make a weapon - set it to zero damage Attach a script that checks the base ID of the creature/actor and deals damage appropriately. I know there's a way to call the base of the creature/NPC hit but I can't remember it off the top of my head, best bet would be to look it up on the CS wiki. Broken_Code {EDIT} Sorry, got the worng end of the stick, I was thinking a weapon that only damages a certain creature.

Hello, again, This time the problem I'm having is with icons. I made some nice custom icons (well, re-coloured the vinilla ones) and put them in the file path textures>MyMod>Icons but that gave me a "Invalid directory" error, so I put them in the standard file path textures>menus>icons but that didn't work either so now I don't know waht to do. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks, Broken_Code

Yep, that worked. I knew it'd be something really simple (it always is isn't it?). Thanks for the help. Broken_Code

Hello, I'm having a problem with some signs I retextured, I used the 5 claws lodge sign as a base, when I put them in-game as an activator they just fell off their support poles! So, I tried them as statics instead and again they just fell off their poles! If anyone knows how to fix this, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, Broken_Code

OBSE? I've heard about loads of useful commands that OBSE adds but I haven't learnt it yet, is it as easy to learn as the oblivion programming language (which I think is some sort of Basic) or is some kind of hard-core C++ language?

Hello, Right, the idea was to make the mod I'm working on episodic, now that I'm done with episode 1, I want to make a start on (the much larger) episode 2 before I release episode 1. Now, the problem is that I want episode 2 to 'build on' the episode 1 esp file. So, I load them both up (with the oblivion .esm file) and set the episode 2 file as the active file, all is good. Until I try to save, then the CS crashes and says it needs to close (it dosen't save it either!). Anyone know how to do this properly? Thanks, Broken_Code

Yes I thought of that too but it's way too much work just to add one more item to the game, I think I'll do the mod episodically so that when the last episode is activated that will be the one to change the lists. Thanks, Broken_Code

Hello again, For a mod I'm making I'd like to have the player complete the quest to get a type of potion and then alter the loot lists so that the potion can be found as loot throughout the game. Just to be clear, I want to change the list after the player completes the quest. Is this possible? If so, how? Thanks, Broken_Code

I see. Thank you for the quick reply. Thanks, Broken_Code

Hello, Right, I know that all files must be relative to the oblivion/Data folder. However, do new meshes have to go in oblivion/Data/meshes/MyMod... or could they go in oblivion/Data/MyMod/... ? I just thought it'd make it easier for uninstalling mods, not to mention making my Data folder look neater! Thanks, Broken_Code
