I'm having a major problem; it's for my mod. I'm trying to extract the dwarvenarrow.dds from the textures.bsa, but I keep getting an error and it produces a 0 kb .dds. The reason I need this is I want to see if I can copy some textures to make my silver bolt. I've looked around, and for some odd reason, programs like BSApot and DDSpot (I think that's the spelling), I can't open the zip files. Yes, I have 7zip, and it keeps saying it's not a valid zip file. What can I do to extract .dds files from the Skyrim - Textures.bsa? Edit: The error is "System.OutOfMemoryException." Nevermind, I got it working.

Welp, I'm making my first mod. I have some screenshots and then some questions: First, the shots: Craftable Silver Bolts -> http://imageshack.us/a/img801/3800/fsvq.jpg Equipped Silver Bolts -> http://imageshack.us/a/img841/3226/s6tc.jpg Inventory Silver Bolts -> http://imageshack.us/a/img14/6725/mqz7.jpg You may notice that the silver bolts do less damage than Dwarven Bolts and more damage than Steel Bolts. Now my questions: 1) The bolts, because they use Silver Ingots--which are rare--should the base damage be increased? (however, see next question) 2) However, I marked the Silver Bolts as "VendorItemArrow" So, does that mean they are buyable? So far, I haven't seen them in shops. See this screenshot: http://imageshack.us/a/img845/5343/epc1.png Notice that the material is silver, and I'm wondering if that material has been set to be "unbuyable." Do I have to add another material to make them available in shops? 3) I need someone to help me make the bolts (which are based on the steel bolt textures) look 'silver.' I'm having a hard time doing it on my own. What I want is a shaft that's pure metal, a tip that's silver, and the feathers to be red. 4) How do I find the correct load order? Thank you ahead of time, and I would appreciate help! You will be credited for the texture part. :smile:

Oh, I just want to recolor a bolt, and add whatever the "silver" property is. Thank you! Also, I want to make a mod that makes bolt quivers not float so much. That may be difficult, though since I'm a n00b. :P But I think I might be able to learn from the tutorials. Also, any other help on that mod would be appreciated. :) Thank you so much!

Okay, I have a problem: I'm following the beginner's tutorial. Since I need dawnguard for the bolts, I check that along with Skyrim and update. Around 83% load (after saying "yes to all"), Windows says "this program has stopped working," and it gives me only the option to close the window. Help?

Oh, I have Dawnguard. That's why I have crossbows. :3 Thanks! :smile:

I know there's a silver crossbow mod out there, but I want to make a silver bolt mod (with craftable silver bolts). But where do I start? What programs do I use? I know of the Creation Kit that Steam has. Is that the best one to use? Thank you!

When I installed .46, it worked for me. I.E. I mean I could log in and download new mods.

I WAS thinking of making a "Better Bounty" mod, which gives you more money for killing giants, bandits, etc. But, it already exists. XD

Oh, that's good to hear. Though, one of my daughters has a pet fox, and he was just standing in the middle of Solitude for awhile. After I loaded BOSS, he started following her again. :P I wish there was a fix because no giants spawn in places like Bleakwood Basin unless there are no Mammoths. O_o

So ... umm... concerning saves. I think Kul'thran, my Argonian Archer, is bugged because... well, whenever he fast-travels to Bleakwind Basin, there are Mammoths in THE AIR. And then they fall and... die. I also had a random crash there when a dragon appeared. :S Does anyone know how to fix my poor Argonian's saves? Edit: Also, yes, I've tried old saves. No dice. :(

I do not mean to be rude to the modder who made "Enchanted Arrows" (by DarkFox), but it wasn't what I was looking for. Yes, you can enchant arrows, but it was at specific locations, and I didn't know where, neither did the mod tell me where. I couldn't find it in the description either. What I'm asking for is a mod to enchant arrows at ANY Arcane Enchanter. I have three different bows for my archer character and I'd rather have one bow and sets of magic arrows (Soul Trap, Shock, etc.). I just don't find it fun to not be able to enchant arrows at any Arcane Enchanter. Would someone please be willing to make this mod for me, or for Darkfox to modify his? Thank you.

Also, I might be able to do voices for the troll race. My jamican accent is pretty good.

I see someone else wants a warcraft race. I want the troll. :3

Ah, I see. Well, then, someone would have to do the voices for the troll, and make original models. As long as they are close to what I can make in the picture I posted, I'll be happy. Besides, I think Skyrim has better graphics than WoW, so there's a reason to make an original model. Coolios. I would love to see this mod.

This is a picture of my Troll Hunter, Kul'thran: http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/001/b/5/kul_thran___troll_hunter_by_aegis_runestone-d5q1vk7.png You might ask, "why don't you go back and play WoW?" WoW nearly destroyed my life, that's why. So, I don't want to go back. Skyrim, on the other hand, has not. So, I was wondering if someone could make a WoW jungle troll race mod. I'd like to play Kul'thran again, but to see what he's like as a Dragonborn. I'd also like the WoW sounds if possible. Now, if this is illegal in any way, I apologize. But, I would really like a mod like this.
