Fairly Simple Mod suggestions.

We need to have more hotkeys that are easy to use, for one. Its freaking impossible for me to fit all of Midas spells into my hotkeys, i cant use my bow and arrow anymore.

 

But here is the best one I think. I have the Summon Oblivion Portal mod, and its awesome, but I think we should be able to summon something that spawns Imperial Legion members. Including Centurions, Watch, Soldiers, Palace Guards, or maybe only one, IDC, because then I could have a mass war. Dispel could get rid of the Imperial Legion spawner.

 

so uh yah. Anybody able to make these? : D

There are about a dozen mods that add hot keys, take your pick

No there aren't. Only one is the right one and its hard to use

So how do you think there could be an 'easier' one. The market for hotkey-mods is pretty much saturated. :laugh:

There are at least 6 unique hotkeymods. Fitting all midas-magic into hotkeys seems an impossible task for everyone. If it's a problem of the number of hotkeys it'll never be solved.

 

The 'mass war' part couldn't be done that easily and could only be done in controlled circumstances. You could only spawn them until you've to 16 npcs in total. (enemies and friendlies in one place at the same time) as if you have more they'll all stand still and watch each other as the limit of the engine. If you wanted more npcs it could only be done at special locations, which kinda looses the point of having them summoned by a spell.

Not every spell from Midas, just a few.

 

I just used the Goblin Horde spell and Oblivion Gate, pitted a Dremora War Party and their other Daedra against a Goblin Horde. They were all moving : S

I mentioned NPCs :smile:. Creatures are put in another part and don't include the same limit. I'm not sure what the limit for that one is, or if there is even one.

Ahh okay, pretty cool. But there still aren't any Hotkey mods that work for me :S

Not all hotkey mods are going to have hotkey in the name. The one I use is Quick Clothes and Spells. It adds 8 instant cast spell hotkeys - only used for spells. A set of 8 full kit hotkeys that allow instant change of all equipped clothing armor, rings weapons etc. And throws in the Purse of Wonders to help sort and store all the stuff you collect. You can still use the 8 default hotkeys for spells if you want, but I use them for other things as 8 ready spells are sufficient for my needs. And - in case you don't remember how all of it works. there is an in game readme manual so you don't have to quit to read up on how to use it.

As to not doing exactly what you want, that has been the beginning of many modders creations. If you don't like what is available, make your own. Show us what you can do. There is lots of help for beginning modders here.

 

As to getting large armies. Several people have tried without much success. The best effort I remember involved using dummy people in the background like is done in the arena. They really don't do much more than move their arms in a simple set pattern. The mod never got out of beta. Even with a powerful computer and dual graphics cards, the game engine cannot handle more than about 15 or so real NPCs at a time. Creatures, such as goblins do not have near the capability of NPCs. They actually have a much simplified AI. Maybe by making a set of creatures that look like people (retextured goblins or skeletons?) the number could be doubled. Maybe the next generation of computers and games will be able to handle larger groups better.

This one should. It triples the amount of hotkeys, lets you set up Armor&Weapon sets and does even more. It works just like the vanilla hotkeys, all you have to do for it is press a additional key. Make sure to read the Readme...;)
