If it's just for the player you could just as easily set a quest stage or a variable in the script that's going to set the glow maps instead of trying to attach something to the player directly.

 

I've never done anything with glow maps and textures via script, so I don't even know if that's possible, but everything else is almost trivial. There's a default script you can add to books to set a quest stage (many of the game's notes use it). And you can create a quest with an alias filled with the PlayerRef and attach a simple script like this to the alias:

 

 

ScriptName UpdateOnGameLoadIfQuestStageSetScript extends ReferenceAlias

Event OnPlayerLoadGame()
    if GetOwningQuest().IsStageDone(10) ; use whatever quest stage you like
        ; Set glow maps or any other updates you need
    endif
EndEvent

Hm, I am trying to make a custom voicetype, so that I could use custom power attack grunt sound files.

 

However, it is way more convoluted as it should be. I don't really understand where I can find the entries in the CK.

 

CLosest thing I found, is a quest called DialogueCombatEncounterTypes. It has some of the taunts that are being said to the player (but never by the player) under the rider "combat". Seems like the player is excluded here due to nonplayer factions being used as conditions.

 

Anyway, even with those infos, I don't see where the actual sound files are attached.

 

edit:

 

Basically what I want to do is a) use custom sounds for the power attack grunt, preferably a variation and b) have the player say/grunt other sound files while attacking -> best case just by using dialogue/voice sytem, preferably to scripts

I'm not 100% sure about this, I have a feeling that certain audio is linked to animation hkx files. It could be that this is the case with basic male/female sounds.

To be honest I don't know how to approach this. Papyrus confuses the hell outta me even though I have experience with other coding languages. I don't think a script is going to be able to do what I want.

Hm, that could be the case.

 

However, don't all the races use the same animations?

 

If not... now I'd need to edit animations in order to have different grunt sounds. Lovely.

As I said previously, I'm not 100% certain that this is the case for player grunts etc. But it would make sense that they would be "race" related if they were. Anyway, i hope this helps

I never knew Setpqv was a thing. :O That's cool.

 

MCMs are better though. :tongue:

Some people have a pathological aversion to SkyUI so giving them a way to configure it without SkyUI is nice. And if the mod itself doesn't require SKSE functions then being able to configure it from the console is even more important since some people still refuse to use SKSE.

 

For all of the people who complain that MCM doesn't preserve settings across games this gives them the option to store their preferred settings in a BAT file that they can run instead of individually tweaking each MCM control for each new game they start.

 

Making it configurable from the console via a property means it is easier to write the matching MCM so there's really no reason not to implement it that way. (And the MCM page is usually the very last thing I add to a mod, so I need to be able to change things manually during development and early testing.)

Oh yes, I agree. I was mostly joking. I like MCMs and use them where able and sensible, but there's certainly alternatives and reasons NOT to use MCMs, or to build your code a certain way even if you intend to hook it up to an MCM.

 

I like to use globals sometimes. You can set them externally and look at them externally with GetFormFromFile too.

I think I found what I need to take my mod further but, before I begin, is there someone who can help me interpret a Papyrus script? I have experience coding with other languages but Papyrus confuses me. Most of the scripts I look at seems to be referencing things that haven't been declared. I know these things exist but since I don't know how all this works I get lost so fast. ):

 

This is the script I'm looking at. It's attached to a quest and enables Shadowmark textures as fences are acquired by the player. This texture enabling/disabling is what I want to make use of but first I need to understand the script.

I understand most of it. AddToFaction is pretty self-explanatory. What I don't understand is the stuff at the top, the declarations. For instance: ObjectReference Property pHonningMarker Auto Conditional. I know what it's referring to, what I don't know is how it's referring to it. pHonningMarker is nowhere to be found in the Creation Kit, although I know it is referring to the Shadowmark next to the door of the Honningbrew Meadery. This particular one is even slightly more confusing because there are two Shadowmarks it could be referring to. As for Auto and Conditional, yeah, no idea.

That wasn't helpful. I now know what Auto is for. That leaves 99% of my post unexplained.

Here's a question;

 

What do the Wood Elves in Valenwood make arrow shafts out of.... They can't use wood because of the green pact, I know they often make composite bows out of horn and bone fibers, I know they use stone and bone primarily to make clubs, knives, and probably short blades too... but what do they make the arrow shafts out of? The main reason why I ask is because I'm working on a fairly extensive weapons and armor mod that will add weapons and armor (that are lore friendly and make sense) from all of the different provinces. If anyone can help me out here with a reasonable answer that would be greatly appreciated.
