Roger that. I do wish the "moderators" would move the requests somewhere else; there's so many of them you can't find actual discussion of modding among them.

Every other post in here is a [Mod Request], while the posts actually dealing with details of mod problem solving are few and far between. Is that what this forum is really all about? Requests, not the actual work of modding?

Just coming back to The Witcher 3 after many years away, and have a few mods installed that I can't really make use of or adjust due to missing "Mods" menu in-game. Can anyone tell me what I have to do to enable the in-game "Mods" menu, please? Many thanks, HerrBaron

It still applies now as it did then. If for some reason you don't want to use the email I provided you (which goes directly to both of them), here are their profiles: Pickysaurus BigBizkit Thanks, Robin.

Per Robin's direction, I'm trying to get a PM to a moderator regarding an issue with stolen content. Will someone please direct me as to WHERE I should do that? The contact link at the bottom of the page got me into an argument with Robin himself, so clearly, that is not the right place to contact a moderator. Thanks

Hey RadiumSkull! Thanks for the reply! I should note, though, that the texture references in the NIF do work; I can see the textures both in the CK and in-game, and as stated above, they look correct except or the reflection/gloss issue I'm having. I tried using a BGSM file, and nothing looked right. I'll freely admit that I may have had the wrong settings in it, but it wasn't even close. Any other thoughts on this? If i do in fact need to use a material file, can you point me at a reference for what the fields are for, specifically? I have the material editor, but there doesn't appear to be a lot of documentation as to what it's all used for. Best Always! HerrBaron

Hey Folks, I can't seem to get rid of the gloss on a custom texture I've created. It's reflecting light sources, and it shouldn't, since it has no specular or glow maps, just a normal and a diffuse. The original nif (DCKitPlywood02.nif) didn't use a material file; it had the Diffuse and Normals specified directly in the .NIF. I changed the textures in NifSkope 2, and resaved it with a different name. In creating the normal in GIMP, I used a 3x3 filter, since the surface is moderately rough. The problem is that in the CK, on examining the form that uses the NIF, the colors are correct, but it is reflecting a light source, and I can't find any way to turn that off. The surface is dull and flat. In-Game, it does indeed reflect lights. What am I doing wrong, please? Many thanks in advance! HerrBaron

Gonna bump this; there are things I'd like to do along this vein, as well.

Not sure you're gonna find that kind of resource. What I did in Skyrim Adventurer's Tent was to scale a small waterfall and hook it up via activator to an enable parent. The piping I faked with Dwemer valves, etc. -HB

No go; I've since moved the function to a quest, on the off chance that calling GetINI* in an event was an issue. Still no go. As far as I can tell, these functions are simply broken. Does anyone know definitively if they are indeed broken?? Thanks in advance. -HB

Ok, Thanks, Ishara; I'll try removing the spaces.

Sorry; the snippet isn't the complete function; it does import Debug just above Utility. Here's the whole script file: Scriptname ADVSMEntryTriggerScript extends ObjectReference Import Debug Import Utility Quest Property ADVSMQuest Auto ObjectReference Property ADSMEntryMarker Auto Event OnTriggerEnter( ObjectReference akActionRef ) ADVSMQuestScript Mover = ADVSMQuest as ADVSMQuestScript if ( akActionRef == Game.GetPlayer() ) akActionRef.MoveTo( ADSMEntryMarker ) Mover.MoveFollowers( Mover.DirectionIn ) Bool bSOT = GetINIBool( "bSaveOnTravel:MAIN" ) Notification( "bSOT = " + bSOT ) if ( bSOT ) Game.RequestAutoSave() EndIf EndIf EndEvent

Thank you, IsharaMeradin! Don't know HOW I missed these! -HB Ishara, it states on the wiki page for GetINIBool the following: "This works for Bethesda created settings only, whether in Skyrim.ini, SkyrimPrefs.ini, or YourLoadedPlugin.ini. Note that, in that order, each INI will override the setting(s) of the previous INI file(s)." However, with these lines of code: Import Debug Import Utility ... Bool bSOT = GetINIBool( "bSaveOnTravel:MAIN" ) Notification( "bSOT = " + bSOT ) if ( bSOT ) Game.RequestAutoSave() EndIf And this in SkyrimPrefs.ini: [MAIN] bSaveOnTravel=1 the notification line tells me bSaveOnTravel is not set, as if GetINIBool() is not finding it. Shouldn't GetINIBool() be searching Skyrim.ini then SkyrimPrefs.ini and finding the value? Thanks! -HB

Thank you, IsharaMeradin! Don't know HOW I missed these! -HB

Title says it all. Is there any way to accomplish this in papyrus with or without SKSE? Thanks in advance, -HB (cross-posted to Bethsoft; sorry, I've asked several questions of late, none of which are receiving any replies. I'll post where I may be able to get an answer.)

Does this have anything whatever to do with mod creation?

Please excuse the bump...

if you recently removed a mod that had a master (.esm) associated with it, and you have another mod that relies on that master being present, it'll cause crashes this way. You may have a "patch" for another mod that makes it compatible with the mod you removed; this is a likely cause. Disable that "patch" mod and your crashes should go away. -HB

Hey folks, I'm doing some updates on the Skyrim Adventurer's Tent, and part of this is updating the scripts I use to move followers into and out of the tent (can't use doors, they don't move, so I use scripted primitive activators). All followers I've tested are working except for Serana. I know she's 'different', and have been through the DLC1_NPCMentalModelScript.psc, functions EngageFollowBehavior() and DisengageFollowBehavior() looking for clues as to how I might be able to detect and move her without specifically scripting an exception for her among all other followers. I want to keep the scripting generic and don't want to have to add the Dawnguard.esm as a master. I've drawn a blank. Here are some snippets of the code I'm using: while( i < nMaxFollowers ) ReferenceAlias raFollower = DialogFollower.GetAlias(i) as ReferenceAlias if ( raFollower != None ) Actor actFollower = raFollower.GetActorReference() if ( IsAllowedToMove( actFollower ) ) MoveNPC( actFollower, Direction ) EndIf Utility.Wait(0.25) EndIf i += 1 endWhile The above is the loop I use to cycle through the DialogFollower quest, checking for followers to move. Bool Function IsAllowedToMove( Actor actNPC ) Bool bRtn = False If ( actNPC != None ) if ( actNPC.IsPlayerTeammate() || \ actNPC.IsCommandedActor() || \ actNPC.GetFactionRank( PlayerFollowerFaction ) >= 0 || \ actNPC.GetFactionRank(CurrentFollowerFaction) >= 0 || \ actNPC.GetCurrentPackage().GetTemplate() == Follow || \ actNPC.GetCurrentPackage().GetTemplate() == FollowerPackageTemplate ) if ( actNPC.GetActorValue("WaitingForPlayer") != 1 ) bRtn = True EndIf EndIf EndIf Return bRtn EndFunction And this is what checks to see if a NPC is eligible to move. As I read the DLC1_NPCMentalModelScript.psc function EngageFollowBehavior(), it looks to me as though the IsPlayerTeammate() check should enable the script to detect her as a follower and move her into or out of the tent. No workie. There have been a few times where Serana shows up inside the tent, but it appears to be at her own discretion. it's a hit and miss proposition. Any ideas on how I might accomplish what I'm trying to do with this? Thanks in advance! -HB

I've got a follower move script that currently relies on enumerating the DialogFollower quest to determine who the player char's followers are, then checking some conditions to determine whether a given follower is eligible to move. This works "ok", but it's not foolproof. The script misses NPC's like Serana, and some out-liers like Inigo (Vilja works fine, as do all vanilla followers). What I'm looking for is a better way of determining who the player char's followers are. Any help here would be a tremendous help; I'm looking to update my Skyrim Adventurer's Tent ( http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/15272/? ) to maximize follower detection. I found this: http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1454695-link-door-to-xmarker/?hl=door+script&do=findComment&comment=22511690, which I believe is pertinent, but doesn't go into how to detect the followers in the first place. Thanks in advance! -HB

Yes; it's the latest version; just recently verified it through the Steam Client.

Nope; no go. I get the multiple masters selected message and the CK crashes. Also, am I mistaken (think I read it here a long time ago) that skyrim.esm will implicitly pull in update.esm? Thanks! -HB

Thanks! I'll give that a shot!

I've posted over at the Bethsoft forums, and have received no replies, so bear with me for trying here, please. I recently returned to the game, and am looking at making some changes to Skyrim Adventurer's Tent (my mod). The problem I'm having is that even after verifying the CK through Steam, when I open the tent in CK, the interior partitions, which use stock textures and meshes, render as much higher than they actually are in game. In game, they look fine. If I lower the partitions so that they render at the correct height in the CK, they're like waist high in game. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? I've looked at the .ini's for the editor, and they don't look hammered or changed. Could it be some other mod doing this? Why only my tent, though? Thanks in advance, folks! -HB
