Thank god i finally found proof that this mod even exsisted on the nexus, by the time i figured it actually screwed my system up, the mod was removed entirely. I even DL'd it and waited to see feedback from everyone else and a couple days after that it was on the front page with a bunch of endorsements so i figured it was safe, as i havent done a good cleaning of my computer in 2 years since i built it. luckily I did have a System restore point, and everything seems to be running normaly again. crap like this should not be allowed on the nexus. I broke one of my own rules of stupid internet surfing (afer having fixed stupid crap like this professionaly for years), and DL'd a programe I though was a "quick fix" and i didnt even expect anything more than a faster startup. thats what i get for being lazy I suppose.

I don't know why it took me so long for this to hit me, but it just did (and I am probably not the first). perfect for vampire killing. Perhaps double damage to Vampires and other supernatural enemies whispmothers/werewolves ect. And if it would be possible, kill shot would launch body with impact or even stick enemy to the wall or nearest tree :) Reference: http://painkiller.wikia.com/wiki/Stake_Gun

thank you for the response, i do like the idea of that mod as a stealth attack type deal for Vampires and thieves. Although i cannot perform any actions while slow falling. I was thinking more of a semi permanent effect similar to http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/14318 although without the chi-gathering/meditation style of animation. Not looking to fly or anything, but was thinking perhaps a ring/necklace or cloak that would bestow the ability to glide over the ground like one does when they are a vampire lord, i do like the idea of a spell form too. and perform melee attacks and spells casting. Also with the mod i mentioned above when I am not moving i am standing on the ground, but when i turn i float up in the air and rest on the ground again, and any npc with any magic equipped will also fly around too. My intention was to play the game as a dragon priest or vampire predator.

I know there is already a mod with floating while using magic. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/14318 but it is very static. and when coupled with their suggested poses from another modder, yous till rigidly move around with no had movements. and if i want just my character to use it i need to install 2 other programs, all for something that is kinda what i want. What i would like is the ability to toggle hovering/floating like the Vampire Lord does, but for normal people non-vampires or just mages. but for regular combat and magic casting. the glide around like a dragon priest for example. sound possible or even easy?

So it couldn't be reworked from the archery mechanics, and just use a remodeled projectile? i guess i would have to attract some one passionate enough about a need for crossbows to go through all that just to animate them. I had figured it would very similar to current bow mechanics, only a slower Draw speed(perhaps double), and behave is the same way. So i had figured it would be quite easy reusing the same scripting, and that it would be a majority of custom animations and minor tweeks. Ah well here's hoping.

after seeing the mechanized dwarven weapons mod, something was nagging at me, how come I haven't seen anyone try a crossbow mod yet. I have seen guns for skyrim, surely this isn't that far off. was thinking high powered, slow reload, close range, with chance for sneak attack damage, and silent. Seems quite balanced to me anyways so you couldn't spam these but effective one shot stealth kills would make it viable. Either some kind of wrist mounted job or a small one handed version and compatible with eagle eye zoom. and damage based on Archery Skill and Overdraw, and perhaps only a 15% increase from quick shot. Possible? Plausible? or Impossible?

Remove your d3d9.dll file from the Skyrim directory. This will disable ENB (which is causing that I think). Alternatively, go to enbdev.com and get the new d3d9.dll file for version 0.108. Change the d3d9.dll file from 0.108 with the one you are running now. That fixed the problem for me. Here is the link: http://enbdev.com/download_mod_tesskyrim.htm thanks a lot, i do use Enb, but i have no environmental mods either. the pattern seems to changes every 30' or so aswell, it is like some odd artifacting. I hope this fixes the underwater blindness too, cause that pic was taken south of the blue palace in the marsh and after that ever jerk thalmor ran off into the water, same with the icerunner crew, was really annoying. EDIT: well it worked and didn't, it got rid of the grass, but on an overcast snowy mountian, i got horrible flashing/stroabing sun glare off my sword. http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b356/IamSilvar/2012-03-22_00003.jpghttp://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b356/IamSilvar/2012-03-22_00006.jpg

I got this graphic error when i logged in yesterday. it effects all grass and small debris-like rocks. anyone else had this problem too? the horizontal lines are static and are visible "through" a translucent layer of the grass, or some such crap. gives me a head-ache. oh and it is impossible to see under water at all, everything is just green. Why cant i just manually download and install patches for my self, this isn't an mmog http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b356/IamSilvar/2012-03-20_00001.jpg

here is a craftable version right here http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=5324 Search function seems clear enough

was hoping some one could do a Heavenly sword mod for the armor and perhaps the swords them selves. Seen some God of War mods for full body tattoo of Kratos and his blades of chaos. Seems only natural to have this as google is a plenty for source images. Sexy fighters is very popular in this game, and i think this would work perfectly for a custom NPC (Aela in my mind) So am I totally out there of does this seem fees able?

my brother in law has this glitch, not sure of his hardware configuration though. but his dragons dont have breath, and doing the eye of magnus quest line, there was no greenish swirling vortex, just a transparent ripple effect, and no fog/mist in sovenguard either.

that makes good sense, for the no essentials. say you wanted to murder some one/kill something, no guards around like farmsteads/mills instead of regular people running away they jump in with Vampiric Drain at least. I had never really envisioned it being game changing, but adding some charm to the Vampire mystique. thought it would be fun, like in a movie when a noted vampire is confronted and turns out everyone in the room is too, like the Hellsing movie with Hughe Jackman. like when you fast ravel to a town right now and everyone attacks you cause it took 2 days to come from Solitude. instantly, and from quite far away, you are a target. maybe then the people you've turned don't attack. Seems kinda odd running around physically biting people on the neck to feed, but you can get the disease from just being drained from a distance away. Hell to make things a lot more interesting, I'd love to have a "Sneak Feed" feature, as long as you do it from behind or coming out of invisible, and they are unaware, the person wont fight back and when you are done they would be "dazed" or calmed instantly. so long as you did this with out anyone else see it you could do it with no repercussions. Cause trying to find a sleeping person in the wilderness is virtually impossible, also making entering a populated town equally impossible, but unaware bandits are easy prey, and using your feed method, kill and turn them too if they are weak enough and they will help as well for 60 seconds. and for kicks have it only work at night if you think it may be unbalanced, or if they come back they are only level 5 regardless of pre-death/pre-turning level. So they'd be a presence, but not army building.

well If anyone you bit joined your faction but didnt leave with you could potentially "turn" a whole town. Image getting caught for a failed pickpocket and everyone in the market place helps you kill the guard, then the whole town could errupt. or only limit the player to "turn" members of the opposite sex. and maybe even guards as well. just a thought. Or a Thrall sure, but the kind that disintegrate when they die unlike the current spell.

Well i tried to make this a mod request, but i was quickly put to page 5 by "can some one make me a bow that kills instantly" or similars I'll repost here I like a lot of your ideas and the others that other people tossed around like extra glare and speachcraft to enter others homes, and no shrine buffs and suffer damage near them. here what i had to say I like idea of also killing others through feeding making them a zombie, but it seems to go in an odd direction, kill a whole house and you got a bunch of undead, seems more like Zombie outbreak. How about when feed you add a "turned" person to your personal faction, they wont necessarily follow you unless they already could but they will automatically defend you should you be under attack. You had said that vampires usually are more beautiful and as they age get more seductive, perhaps maybe adding an Aura to the character as they stages progress or situational, like in town and with friendly people a light/yellowish glowing aura, and when under attack it turns blackish like ebony mail effect only not as blacked out and saturated. and if i shouldn't have referenced my mod request post then just delete it or let me know and i will.

I tried seeing if i could alter this my self with the CK, but was greatly overwhelmed. there are others that i have seen that are similar but they have also been tweaked in the wrong direction imo. Not looking to over power this just to make more sense to me personally and seem to go more in synch with traditional vampyric styles. 1) making it so you must Feed to maintain or increase powers, instead of feeding to prevent your powers from growing. all other powers and abilities will be normal and given at the appropriate stages, 2) doubling the effective drain damage of Vampiric Drain, from 2 to 4 ect for each stage and doubling magika cost too. As well as making it Silent to NPCs and replacing the Lightning sound when using it with the heartbeat sound from when you are low on health. also, though optional, absorbing 100 health with Vampiric drain will count as a Feed and may if used too much advance you to the next stage. 3) feeding (only while sleeping) on a follower or Spouse will make them a stage 1 vampire, but they will not get stronger through stage advancement. so they can also gain the stealth bonus, gain vampiric drain and not suffer the same sunlight penalties as the main character at night time. 5) a visual gauge on your current level of vampirism. was thinking of having a bone like decoration around the compass with fangs coming down than get longer and longer the more you progress from stage to stage. I hate having to check my active powers list every time i fast travel to see at what stage i am. if that is too difficult then perhaps just a "thermometer" style gauge on the side of the screen. 6) Suffer half fall damage, for stage 2 and higher. 7) as Seduction is a once a day power, making it Pacify instead of calm and available at stage 3 8) Vampire sight at all stages an anytime power like the Khajiit. EDIT: I guess the actually promote feeding and not just being a vampire with out penalties, I think making a bonuses only available at stage 2, but a stage 1 Vampire would only have the penalties like sunlight stat reduction and -25% fire resist, and then only getting frost resist at stage 2 starting at 50% and stealth bonus of 25%. So other than getting vampiric drain at stage 1 there would be no bonus, just penalties That seems to sum it up for me. Still balanced imo , does not eliminate the need to feed as not feeding will make you revert back to stage 1. and makes being a vampire a skill that requires attention to keep. Please let me know if these are not even possible or have conflictions with game mechanics. I think this could actually take off and be popular with others instead of the all power and no penalties versions that i have seen around. If i didnt mention it then all current vampire powers are normal and progress appropriately eg resistances and stage 4 hate.
