Shugwar Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 The shock sword is a way cooler weapon than the shishkebab, but I find the ash pile effect profoundly stupid. If I remember correctly, you can change this by changing crit effect to none in the GECK. For some reason, although I have beaten Operation Anchorage and have the shock sword in my inventory, I don't seem to have Operation Anchorage.esm in my files, and the shock sword doesn't show up in said GECK. Any ideas why this would happen and how to get rid of the effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't manually moved the Operation Anchorage files after downloading them, that would be the reason you can't find them in your data folder. This thread on the GFWL might help you locate your files such that you can copy them and make the modifications you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shugwar Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 Thanks! I never would have found that stuff on my own. However, I still cant seem to disable the ash pile effect... I went into Anchorage.esm and changed the crit effect on the 3 "testPhilElectricSword" files to "NONE", then saved it as SwordEffect.esp and checked that file and Anchorage.esm under data. Still turns enemies to ash... what am I missing? And if I'm asking stupid questions in the wrong forum, I apologize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are test items as the name clearly indicates. :wink: DLC02WeapShockSwordWasteland is the one you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baelkin Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Make sure that you actually edit the correct weapon entry - a far as I can tell there are four different versions of the Shock Sword in the GECK, so if you've edited the wrong one it wouldn't have an effect on the one you are using in-game. Try editing the "DLC02WeaponShockSwordWasteland" entry and alter the weapon critical effect on that one. As far as I can tell this is the "actual" Shock Sword item you get inside the armoury after completing the AO simulation program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't noticed the "DLC" folder when I went into items, and it was indeed the wasteland shock sword file that I needed to edit. I thank you gentleman for your patient assistance with my modding ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
