Zerofrost released another retex of their awesome Thanatos dragon (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/31229//?) and I would like to use it as a replacer for Alduin but there are more mesh/texture files than the normal Alduin uses. Normally I would just rename the texture/mesh files and use them loose, but that does not appear to work with more files. There is also the issue with many replacers not effecting the loadscreens either. So my questions are 2 fold. Would I need to create an esp to make this work, or do I just need to rename and not worry about the other texture/mesh files, And how do I make it effect loadscreens. It appears that other replacers have a lod file, is that just a renamed rexture file, or actual generated lod? Please help a noob out.

Seems solid. Any eta on the new nmm skin? :P

That is exactly my point though. Your scholar does not have access to the same tools and techniques that the dwemer did. It looks too new, too machined. There is no reason to get so defensive over constructive criticism. I clearly want to download it and use it but it looks too out of place.

I think you guys missed my point. It looks more like something Wylie Coyote would build from acme than something we would find built in Skyrim. It does not look hand crafted with rivets, but like a strait up jumbo jet engine with modern day rotors fixed to the sides. Most of the Dwemer projects around "work" because they look like they were made in Skyrim and not the modern age.

Still rooting for you guys!

That is really easy to do with nifscope.

Sounds like a missing master. You do not exactly give much info to go on.

I am not hitting ram limits and from what I can tell there is nothing incompatible in my load order. I enabled papyrus logging and got a slew of errors though. Some of the referred to mods I have never had installed. A couple I had installed before, but this is a completely freshly wiped install. I know nothing of scripting, and I would appreciate some help pointing out what is totally an issue, and what is "normal". This log was just doing some smithing in Riverwood and I crashed when I handed new gear off to my companion. Log Load order

After grabbing retex's of all the rest of the dragons Alduin just does not look good. The one retex that actually looks good for him is not to my taste and I believe it can be done better. While I could reverse engineer some of the mods I am looking to combine, that would take forever in an area where I have no expertise. I have just gotten my head around TesVedit, and doing extremely basic playing with the ck. When it comes to texturing I know nothing outside of being able to rename files. So, the idea! Using this as inspiration http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/9151//?# and the resources of http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/28642/?tab=2&navtag=%2Fajax%2Fmodfiles%2F%3Fid%3D28642&pUp=1 and http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/28741//? with permission of course! I am thinking bone dragon with a fiery heart and fiery eyes with only a slight ghostly shader effect around the rest of the body. Maybe even add some armor similar to http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/27949/? but that also requires some modeling. Any thoughts? Yay/nay?

Considering that the original author left the project, and Master of Shadows is banned, it seems unlikely. Atleast on this forum.

This http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/16815/? seems similar to what you are looking for.

As a project this is amazing! My only complaint is based on the pics it looks a little too cartoony. While a great deal of that can be changed with texturing the base design does not look "steampunk" enough to really fit with the world.

Anyone know of a guide on how to add icon movement and resizing to hud elements provided by other mods? I am using DarnUI along with oHUD and uHUD which are all great but some Icons like the grenade hotkey icon from Project Nevada is really in an odd spot with how I want to set my UI. Similarly the icon from Advanced Recon Thermal Nightvision is just too big. Jip Selective fire grants you the ability to resize its icon and I would like to add the same but I have no idea where to even start looking much less what to copy/paste to add the functionality. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You have made me play through FNV while waiting for this to be released <> :P

The Nexus Mod Manager losing the ability to download files has me fairly perturbed. While I am making do with manual downloading and adding it that way its pretty annoying. :(

Anyone know the author for the Alice Madness Returns weapon set? It has been set to hidden on nexus, likely because it contains ripped content. It is available in other places and has been reposted to steam and they claimed to be the original author, but not to uploading it elsewhere. When I confronted them they replied claiming that they were unware of any other mods. I linked a couple of locations calling him on it and they deleted everything as steam theives are known to do. Anyone wanna help?

For personal use its fine, you just cannot share it.

Every new pic looks better! This has me really excited!

That looks awesome. I will be snagging both.

I would think that you would want to keep it as script lite as possible. I know my load order is already rather script heavy and keeping it as compatible as possible is a huge boon.

Yeah my only complaint is that I wish the glowmapping was in white! :) Overall though both look amazing. I really suck in the art department but I want to learn how to do the basic stuff, I'll get around to it at some point.

The writing on the blade should be glowmapped like Nico's weapons.

Insanitysarrow, Hothtrooper or Ghosus are my go to guys for this sort of thing.

I really need to learn more about scripting and the like. This is impressive.
