Negative armor rating

[doggydoo]

:thanks: EDIT: Strategy Master has fixed this issue with Supreme Magica v 88c. Because hi is a wizard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My character has a negative 21 armor rating while wearing no gear and under no magic effects.

Is there a console command to remedy this? I've tried the wikki listings and haven't found anything. Im using MMM for OOO , supreme magica mods and deadly reflex. Plus others.

 

I've been banging my head aginst the wall trying to figure this out. Any insight is appreciated even if it is just a new way to research my problem.

 

thanks in advance

Console getarmorrating says -21

while getarmorratingupperbody says 0

 

SO there must be some kind of effect running. but altars and dispels don't seem to do anything. I'e been poring over OBSE page and wiki trying to find just some kind of reset command but there is none.

 

I did find a morrowind fix that used "setarmorbonus" but it is inapplicable here.

 

Just an update in case it gives anyone any lightbulbs.

Well I am having the exact same issue as you with the -21 value. I think it has something to do with Supreme Magicka or perhaps a conflict with some other Mod and SM. If I type “Set UninstallMode to 1” into the console with SM active it will remove SM from that instance of the game. My Armor value then immediately goes back to the correct value of 0. If I type “Set UninstallMode to 0” after that then it reruns the SupremeMagicka.ini file and I am back at the -21.

I also checked my saves using Wrye Bash and by luck I had deactivated SM for a short time since it seemed to be conflicting with the Deepness in FrostCrag Reborn and I was playing that section of that Mod. All those saves do not have the -21 value.

I am going to play with the SuprmemMagicka.ini file and see if something stands out there. I hate to start deactivating Mods since that often leads to more headaches then solutions. If I could find a console command to just change the value then so much the better.

Wow-

 

Thanks for clarifying my problem Vforic. I kudosed ya! I'll post under supreme magica now. Strategy Master seems really good about responding to stuff like this.

 

edit: I tried the set uninstallmode to 1. Then disabled it fully and didn't get the armor rating correction like you. Maybe cause i screwed it up under older supreme magica version.

OK here is part of the trick or issue. When you type “set uninstallmode to 1”, hit enter and go back to the live game screen, you should get a message that SM has been uninstalled. Wait until you get this message or exiting the game and uninstalling the SM Modules themselves will not work since your save game saves the erroneous values anyway. When you come back in you will still have the -21 value since it was part of that save.

 

My Armor Rating returns to normal soon after I see this message without me having to leave the game to fully uninstall SM. You might also find a place to save in an interior cell with no NPC's although mine works fine anywhere.

 

I think what happens is that “set uninstallmode to 1” scripts everything back, as best it can, to vanilla Oblivion magic settings. If you do not get the message that SM has been uninstalled after you type “set uninstallmode to 1” and coming back out of the console to the live game screen then that means that the uninstall script did not run correctly.

Yeah i get all the messages. But it doesn't correct it. It even seems to fluctuate sometimes when I cast other spells. I must have messed it up royally! :wallbash: When I first noticedi t it was at -42. I went back to an old save on same character and it was there too. Guess it's my defining attribute now! haha!

 

Edit: I had disabled SM without running the uninstallmode first. This is probably why this remedy didn't work for me. So... player error. I will make a shield 21% item for tailslot as a personal fix.
