    [LE] TXST Decals

    in Creation Kit and Modders

    Posted

    Huh, never even noticed that in game before. As to why it does that it's (afaik) simply a matter of placement.

     

    In the CK, in the View menu go to Show/Hide Window. Make sure Decals is ticked so you can see the puddles under the arrows (you'll notice the puddle actually looks fine in the CK). If you see the puddles looking like they're clipping like crazy when you pan around tick the Depth Biasing option under View. Select the arrow of that puddle, hold the Z key and very slightly move the arrow upward. The look of all the puddles will change, decals are strange like that, but no need to worry. When it looks good, save your esp and check it in game. Adjust if necessary.

    Thanks, Hanaisse!

     

    I've already figured that out.

    The Y-angle was wrong. I've fixed it. Now it looks fine:

    In my case, there were 'correct' decals nearby, so I just needed to compared the pos. and angle.

     

    Also "Skyrim Improved Puddles 1-1a" solves the issue by disabling some of the default decals and replacing the others with the new TXST.

    It looks like this:

    I tend to solve issues as soon as I set them to a public discussion.

    Without that I can struggle with them for years, apperently. :)

     

    Now I know more about decals. And you give me more information I definitely need. So, thank you again.

     

    But, I found no way to set decals visible in CK render window. Markers, Yes, but the very textures are no visible...

    [LE] TXST Decals

    I am trying to solve a puddle puzzle.

    See, this is a troublemaker puddle in Windhelm outside the Eastern Gate that has been driving me crazy for the last few years:

     

     

    http://images.vfl.ru/ii/1641740848/cfe127de/37452652.jpg

     

    For some reason in game this decal shows up cut in half. While its comrades stay in one piece.

     

    First please, tell me if you can guess the reason for that obnoxious behaviour that freaking puddle demonstrates towards me!

     

    And as an additional question: Can I check puddles to be visible in CK's render window somehow! I know I can toggle the arrow marker to show up in the window, but I need the decal itself be visible.

     

    Please, help! Because it is obvious that the texture mods only change texture, but this isn't a matter of texture.

    Spell Tomes Are Readable

    in Mod Ideas

    Posted

    This is an idea I've got recently.

     

    Imagine how it would be cool if there were something to read in those books, not only a beautiful cover and a nice sound effect when it disappears! We have quite a lot of theory oriented books in game (Lunar Forge, Alchemist' Diary, How to use different kinds of weapon), but spell tomes for some reason are not among them. You just learn them new spells with the snap of your fingers. I wish educational process was that easy in real life!

     

    We should do something about that, don't you think?

    This is how I see it gameplay-wise. Very simple.

     

    You open the book. You read it to the last page (!). You close the book. And... Bam!.. like magic... it disappears.

    You are startled. But you did it. You read it. It was interesting, informative, stylish (in accordance with the style of Skyrim lit). If you want to read it again you have to find another copy of that tome. Read that one and it will disappear again (or not, I haven't decided yet).

     

    So, what do we need for that purpose?

    A new text

    an edited script (? I guess)

    and a person or a few persons who will implement that

     

    I hope this idea will find a mighty wizzard modder who will bring it to life! I know there are people out there who love literature and can actually write a book.

     

    I wish everyone a Happy New Year! And let me know what you think about all that jazz!

    :)

    [HELP] SkyUI Error Code 5 (Tried Everything)

    in Skyrim SE

    Posted · Edited by Skybroom

    I am using Mod Organizer and I am on Legendary Edition. I am having the SKYUI ERROR CODE 5 message popping up during or after using a workbench, providing I've consumed a blacksmith's potion. If I drink a blacksmith potion weird things start happening: no interact option for a while, force exiting workbench menu, and error message on top of that.

     

    The message is about 'Incompatible menu file (inventorymenu.swf)'.

     

    I have no such a file in DATA folder. I only have the one in SkyUI.bsa. So what should I do?

    [LE] Has Normals - Yes or No?

    in Creation Kit and Modders

    Posted · Edited by Skybroom

    Suppose you're editing a body mesh.

    You open up your nif with NifSkope.

     

     

    "Has Normals - Yes" or "Has Normals - No"?

    Is it crucial for a NiTriShapeData? Does this section "Has Normals" ever make sense?

     

    When it is "Has Normals - Yes" it really has some data underneath, say Normals, Tangents, Binormals. And the mesh render looks different in NifSkope. Does it look different in-game under any conditions?

     

    ---------------------

    I wish I can figure this out once and for good!

    Wolf Armor is Broken?

    in Skyrim LE

    Posted

    When you say you checked the mesh you mean you extracted the original mesh from the .bsa archive?

    Oh, no notifications again! Never mind.

     

    Yes, I extracted the original mesh from "Skyrim - Meshes.bsa". I always make sure if it's not overwritten by USLEEP or any other mod.

    Thank you for your reply!

    Wolf Armor is Broken?

    in Skyrim LE

    Posted · Edited by Skybroom

    I am trying to solve a Skyrim LE problem with Wolf Armor male version behaving in a completely weird way.

     

    While some animation like sitting works just fine with this armor:

    http://images.vfl.ru/ii/1618404109/86db5fa6/34078110.jpg

     

    in other cases SkirtFBones seem to do not 'respond' to animated skeleton changing its position according to actors movements, and you can see these terrible gaps appear:

    http://images.vfl.ru/ii/1618404600/7b73ce01/34078269.jpg

     

    http://images.vfl.ru/ii/1618404121/ff1a799a/34078113.jpg

     

    I checked the mesh, the 'skirt' area. It seems to only be 'attached' to skirt nodes, like SkirtFBone3, 2, and 1, but it has no attachments to Thighs, unlike the 'trousers' area which is attached to Thighs.

     

    I wonder if anybody else never noticed or experienced this issue?

    And of course I am looking forward to finding the solution!

    Vanilla Mountainflower Hi Res

    in Mod Ideas

    Posted

    Is it possible to make a High Resolution version of vanilla mountainflower without loosing original game concept?

     

    I am aware of retextures existing.

     

    I am looking for the same thing HighResTexturePack and Unofficial High Resolution Patch does keeping things close to vanilla. Unfurtunately none of those cover mountain flower textures.

    Rent a Bed from Khajiit

    It's just, those khajiit caravans in the cities outskirts. They seem to always have a few spare places to sleep. Why don't try and make it possible to rent a bed from them? Immersion boost guaranteed.

    [LE] Oily Body Full Set

    in Creation Kit and Modders

    Posted

    Is it possible to make an alternative AA out of facegeom nif model?

     

    I can make a complete set of character assets: body, hands, feet, head

    All these assets I can make more glossy and specular.

    I can make all those changable in-game, except for the head. For now I have to exit the game to swap actor's facegen nif.

     

    A helmet covered slot 31 Hair. Why not to make a 'face mask' to cover 130 Head, 230 Head, 143 Ears?

     

    I know it all may sound noobish, but I am still asking.

    [LE] CK zoom speed VS in-game fps

    in Creation Kit and Modders

    Posted · Edited by Skybroom

    I've bumped into a very odd thing, a bug, actually a lag.

     

    Been previewing animation idles in CK. Made some changes to preview window zoom speed (lessen it significantly). Also been boosting in and out animation play speed.

     

    Now when I get Skyrim launched, I keep getting an outrageous fps limit, that is 4 frames per second, no more no less (the engine is locked to 4 fps) !!! :pinch:

     

    FPS rate do not change depending on location as they used to do. Even coc quasmoke is lagging, even load screen is lagging in the most unforgiving way one can imagine.

     

    As I did not make any changes to .ini files other than SkyrimEditorPrefs.ini, my first thought was to simply Hide that file (as it's being generated by CK). Unfortunatelly that didn't help.

     

    So I ended up here asking for your advice!

    [LE] Skyrim - femalehands grow ungy big during animation

    in Skyrim LE

    Posted · Edited by Skybroom

    That's not the case. Body doesn't change its scale. The problem is them HANDS and only hands tend to grow huge as compared to the body. And I am talking of no furniture, I am talking of animobject idle animation. For example NPC is playing cheer up animation with a tankard in her right hand and waving with the left one (you know that piece of animation which looks so clumsy when performed by female character). While she's at it both her hands are twice as big as when she's standing still or just walking around.

     

    I think the problem is about the hands size being brought to accordance with the anim object, which is the tankard in this case. But I may be wrong.

     

    But, guys it has nothing to do with furniture or rescaling the whole NPC.

    [LE] Skyrim - femalehands grow ungy big during animation

    in Skyrim LE

    Posted

    For example while the female NPC is playing animobjectcheers idle or any drink and eat idle their hands grow significantly big. Why? And how that can be helped?

     

    I have checked both FNIS's GENDER specific animations and SKELETON arm fix. As I can see they don't solve the issue.

     

    So, I would like to find the solution, mayhaps already on the Nexus.

    Guys, you two are talking of interesting things, but I think it's too complicated to implement what you suggest here. It's all about personal tastes, interests, and preferencies. At the same time all these things can be easily found in real life social and personal relationships, can't they? In Skyrim we even have no opportunity to have a random talk to our companion, to ask what do they have on their mind, how do they feel... :sad:

    Ashley,

     

    1. Install Tes5Edit and learn how to use it.

     

    2. Check the master file dependancy for each of the esp in your Load Order.

     

    3. Remember, the correct order for the official DLCs is:

    Dawnguard.esm
    HearthFires.esm
    Dragonborn.esm
    4. Consider installing USLEEP.
    5. What kind of probs in particular are you having?
