MagdalenaDwojniak Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Hello, hopefully it's the correct place to ask this (the problem has something to do with the in-game console and the original resources, so it's hardly a mod question, though if I am mistaken, please feel free to move it to the modding area - apologies for any mistakes). I really like the looks of Soris's Wedding Attire. I intended to strip him before leaving for Ostagar, I admit, but I didn't get the chance to do that. The cutscene with Shianni made it impossible. Thus, I thought I'd simply get the clothes through the console. I found the item ID here ("bec100im_soris_wedding"). I have the console enabled through the .ini file, it works flawlessly, I type "runscript additem bec100im_soris_wedding", it says "Success". Yep, but the clothes can't be found in the actual inventory. I have the latest version of the base DAO from Origin (on a Lenovo IdeaPad Y530 - it works perfectly when using the maxed power setting). I don't have any official DLCs apart from "The Stone Prisoner" and what you get through your BioWare account. I wonder what's wrong. Other commands for spawning items (albeit fan-made) work and appear. Could you nudge me in the right direction to get the attire please? Alternatively, if there is a fan-made version, please show me where to get it - I searched and found nothing. Any help appreciated :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It's impossible to troubleshoot anything without that information.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagdalenaDwojniak Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) Hi, theskymoves, thank you for stopping by! I have just a few mods. The only using runscript additem is "Anora's Queen Gown" (the one from BioWare). Is that what you are asking? Mods using runscript additem or just runscript? Thanks for the links too, I will go read them now. PS Should I try to spawn another base game item just to see if things other than this outfit work?

Thanks for the links too, I will go read them now. PS Should I try to spawn another base game item just to see if things other than this outfit work? No, I was inquiring as to what additem console script you installed, as the base game does not include one, even for vanilla items. (Mod-added items have their own, mod-specific scripts.) The commonly used scripts for base-game items have slight differences in syntax (and may not include all items) so to troubleshoot requires knowing exactly which script is involved. --- ETA (because I won't be around much today and sometimes it helps to cut to the chase) that the two scripts I'm famiiar with that use the 'runscript additem XXXX' language are AddItem Script - Console and AddItem with Console Improved Script. They are very similar (one requires the .UTI suffix for the item, the other does not) but they both require that a quantity be entered as to how many of the item is desired, which you've indicated was not part of the script you used. Using the first script, the command would be runscript additem bec100im_soris_wedding.uti 1 with the latter 'improved' script,runscript additem bec100im_soris_wedding 1 But without looking at the specific script you installed, there's no way to determine why it's failing. :confused: Edited April 13, 2015 by theskymoves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no additional mod for additem. I think this is the problem. It still doesn't explain why the console still lists it as successful (I understand that without the mod, it shouldn't recognise any additem commands), but I will download the improved mod now and see if it changes anything. Many thanks! I am obviously blind... All sites with console commands list additem as a common command, so I assumed having the console enabled lets you use it out of the box. I was wrong. In other words, I'm going to install the improved mod, run "runscript additem bec100im_soris_wedding 1" and report what happens.

theskymoves Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) I've no idea why the game gives a 'success' message when an entered console code is, in fact, unsuccessful, but it does... that is also the usual behaviour when an item code for a non-existent or incorrect item is entered. Though... if the 'Anora gown' mod you have uses an additem... command, it may be picking up on that, as to why it's not saying 'nope. such script!' - because in that case, you DO have the command, it just doesn't allow for the item you want. (Add item scripts for DAO are not global. They reference specific, enumerated items.) /wild speculation As to why sites list that as a vanilla command... your guess is as good as mine. My preferred source for console information (apart from what I know from digging in the game assets with the toolset) is the DAWiki, which correctly does not include 'additem' as a base-game console code, and instead properly points users to one of the add on scripts I linked to previously.

MagdalenaDwojniak Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Seriously, your help's really appreciated. If it hadn't been for you, I would be well in the woods now :smile:! I must take a screenshot in the clothes. Sadly, on my female Warden, they revert to Valora's dress (I guess if a male wanted to wear her gown, it would revert to Soris's attire; the same thing occurs when I put the wedding gown of my PC on Sten... he looks very pretty, albeit pinky :tongue:! It turns into the clothes Nelaros wore). Edited April 16, 2015 by MagdalenaDwojniak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It turns into the clothes Nelaros wore). Yeah, in most cases, the male and female appearances of a clothing item have nothing in common, beyond, on occasion, a similar colour palette. And there are a very very limited number of models in the game. If you are looking for a specific item (and I believe all of the elf wedding outfits are just uniquely named generic human and dwarf noble clothing), might I recommend my PDF DAO Clothing References? I screencapped each of the vanilla clothing items on a male/female pair, and identified them with their respective item codes... and each of the colour variants is illustrated. (So, for example, there's no surprise when, say, equipping Alistair with Anora's dress results in him wearing Eamon's scary clown suit:)http://static-7.nexusmods.com/15/mods/140/images/4080-1-1394162286.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
