    Skyrim V SKSE not working?

    in Skyrim LE

    Posted

    I'm having the same issue as others here. None of the suggested fixes have helped. I have some mods I need to finish up these next couple weeks. I've used SKSE before but never had this problem. I don't know what to do except hope for a fix.

    That should give you all of the information you will need to create the armor. Right now it is not possible to add a new category to the crafting stations. They seem to be hard-coded into the game. What you can do however is create a new crafting station.

     

    http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/12409/?

     

    The above mod adds new crafting stations. All you need to do is go into the CK and add items to it. You will have to get the Creation Kit off of Steam. And then look at how some other mods are set up (any changes made by an activated mod have a * by them). You can potentially create a crafting station from anything. You could even make your own.

     

    To make a mining node you will have to copy and edit the existing ore veins. They can't really be created entirely from scratch. You can easily replace the texture and even the model of the ore vein though.

    For texturing, you will really want photoshop. There is a reason professional texture artists work back and forth between photoshop and 3ds. You will need a dds plugin for a decent normal map anyway.

     

    At some point you will probably also want to get your hands on a BSA unpacker. There are several on the Nexus. This will allow you to see the game's models and textures and edit them directly. And for armor you will need to make sure to equip a maximum compatibility skeleton for your armor or people with a lot of mods will encounter CTDs.

     

    You can also get creative. As an example that I am familiar with, what I did with The Art of Magicka was make many special items craftable only after unlocking certain perks. Your professor probably won't know how easy it is to do that. The CK allows you to easily make any perk unlock an item at a crafting station of your choice. Using the same system, you can use a book to teach characters a new perk to learn to craft the item. I'm sure there are better things you could do too. Good luck. And please post your final project up on the Nexus.

    How To Advertise Your Mod

    in Creation Kit and Modders

    Posted

    I upload for others to enjoy. I mod because I enjoy it. While I don't care as much about how many people use my files as some people do, I do think that the more people who see the mod the better. If I spent hours and hours on a mod and nobody ever saw it, I would be bummed. That said, I do not time my mods nor anticipate hot files or files of the month. Somehow I've hit hot files once but that's it.

     

    My Art of Magicka mod has never been a hot file or a file of the month and it has 369,929 unique downloads and 3350 endorsements as of three seconds ago. That's more than enough. How I got exposure, was by starting the mod during the early pre-CK days of Skyrim and continually evolving it for months and months. And in my opinion that second part is what took it from a mod with a small following to a mod with a huge number of users. It doesn't have the ridiculous unmerited number of endorsements that some files have but I'm okay with that.

     

    All of that aside, I agree with the OP that there should be more ways to get exposure. Perhaps payed advertisements? I could spend some of that donation money to pimp my mods. Nexus could use the money.

    I know you guys - Nexus Moderators - take a lot of guff from us but speaking as a modder, you are a big part of what keeps me posting mods on Nexus and not elsewhere. Without you the Nexus would not be the Nexus. Thank you for taking care of us.

    Hey guys, I just got my internet back and I was wondering what you'd upgraded/how you've spent the influence you have on your world.I'll be playing again soon, unless I'm too busy. :)Edit: Do you have GuildWars2 Zonzai?

     

    Just started playing it. That's why I ask. Not sure what server I am on though.

    Mods causing game/PC freeze

    in Skyrim LE

    Posted

    Every mod that you have installed and everything in the data folder will put additional stress on the Skyrim engine and has the potential to cause CTDs. It doesn't seem to be as hearty as Oblivion or even Fallout. Due to Skyrim's popularity, I think that with additional patches Bethesda will iron out the kinks but right now it is prone to crashing. Most conflicts will not cause your game to crash, but if you get too many minor conflicts and/or too many mods all being used at once, eventually your game will start crashing.

     

    For most people this isn't going to be the case and it will just be some kind of conflict. But you have a lot of mods installed and I would be willing to bet that your game is getting to be rather unstable. Even if you are able to resolve the current conflict you could be in for more problems in the future and could even end up corrupting your save games. To prevent future problems I suggest manually uninstalling the mods that you don't use and using Skyrim Savegame De-bloatifier and/or skyrim savegame scanner to keep your saves safe.

     

    P.S. If you have any scripts installed they can be found in skyrim/data/scripts.

    No idea man. Ever since the latest UFO update, none of it has been working for me. I uninstalled correctly and everything too. It may a Skyrim 1.6whatever update issue. The last Skyrim patch seems to have broken almost everything added by any mod.

    Best UNP skin and face mod matchups

    in Skyrim LE

    @SheWildWolf

    You have to resize the face map so that it is the same size as the neck. I don't know where it is in Gimp but in Photoshop it is under IMAGE > IMAGE SIZE. I hope that helps.

     

     

    @all

    Just a reminder, there will always be certain lighting conditions where your neck seams will show (even with texblend). But like I said before, a good ENB config will help a lot with that. Also, if you guys haven't tried it yet, check out facelight. It helps prevent your character from getting all brown and shadowy.

    @vlaka

    A good ENB preset will do a lot to make the characters look better. That should be the first thing you get.

     

    @Airklot

    Nice list. I forgot about coverwoman. It still has the best textures around the eyes and the lace warpaints are always cool.

     

    @SheWildWolf

    Dimon99's neck seam fix works perfectly. If you can't use photoshop to fix the seams use gimp. It's free and it has a dds export tool. Copying and pasting is not that hard. Neck seams are not a reason to use to CBBE over UNP. There might be other reasons to use CBBE, but not neck seams.

    [WIP] Leather & Lace

    in Skyrim LE

    Posted · Edited by Zonzai

    Hi,

     

    Most of you probably don't know me. I am a rather new modder. I started with Skyrim. My first mod was called HQ Nocturnal Robes, which is now called The Art of Magicka.

     

    I am starting a new and ambitious project. Before I tell you about it, let me show it to you...

     

    =================================================================

    http://static.skyrim.nexusmods.com/images/245015-1341715789.jpg

     

    =================================================================

    LEATHER & LACE

    =================================================================

     

    The mod is called Leather & Lace. The corsets used are based on the awesome Scouter Corset by NEO.

     

    =================================================================

    GOALS

    =================================================================

     

    1.) Create the sexiest clothing in Skyrim with the highest quality textures.

    2.) Make the new items available within the game world but not through crafting. I want players to have to work for them.

    3.) Make the new items with many interchangeable parts (corsets, boots, panties, bras, body layers*, etc.).

    4.) Create 4 playable races with unique textures, animations and soundsets. They will be called Leather, Lace, Naughty and Nice. Their textures will include custom tattoos, scars and other things.

     

    (*Equippable layers with tattoos, stockings arm wraps and other things.)

     

    =================================================================

    WHAT I NEED

    =================================================================

     

    I enjoy modding. And I enjoy spending every bit of my free time modding. But there are certain limitations to what I can and cannot do. What I would like, is to find a few credited co-authors to do as many of the following this as possible...

     

    1.) Record, create and/or steal custom soundsets for the characters, Leather, Lace, Naughty and Nice (I will give more information on them). If it is possible, I would like to get a couple of female voice actors.

     

    2.) Create the Leather & Lace Bordello. Each sister needs to have a key to a separate area. The PC will rescue each one of them, acquire the key and they will move into the bordello. This co-author will have almost total control over the contents of this portion of the mod, even so much as to override my decisions. I just want the unlockable areas, a player bed, a full crafting set up and the keys. Everything else is fair game.

     

    3.) Create and organize the custom animation paths. In theory, anybody can do this part. (No CK experience needed.) There won't be very many unique animations to deal with but it will still take some time to set up. Doing this is essentially the same as setting up PC Exclusive Animation Paths, except that four new paths will be added, one for each of the four "races".

     

    4.) Weight painting on the corsets for UNP with BBP, UNPB with BBP and possible CBBE with BBP. This is the most important thing I need done. While I am certain I can learn to do it, it is something I have never done before. (NOTE: There is a mod with the UNPB model but it does not have weight painting on the bra NEO Corset with UNPB BBP.)

     

     

    =================================================================

    WHY I AM REQUESTING HELP

    =================================================================

     

    Ultimately, I can and will do anything that nobody else wants to. But the longer I spend doing these things, the longer it will take to make the mod.

     

    =================================================================

    WHAT YOU WILL GET

    =================================================================

     

    1.) Along with Neovinci and I, you will receive full credit as a co-author.

    2.) Access to my testing esp which contains some of the completed items in a bag. (Essentially, an alpha test.)

     

    If you can provide any of the above for me, please send me a PM on the Nexus. Any samples of your work that can be provided would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your time. :heart:

    a) Don't need to bogart everyone's screen space and bandwidth.

    b) Do need to place something like this in the appropriate sub-forum. Despite what some Skyrim modders and players seem to think, it isn't the only game here.

     

    (Fixed both these issues for you this time. Next time it may just get deleted... --TNL :whistling: )
