TrexTitan Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 The Light of dawn blade in OOO tells me i am a vamp and it will not tolerate being held by me (starts to damage me) even though i am not, or ever were a vampire. i had the disease, but i cured that prior to picking up the blade. Also, after a few seconds the game crashes upon equipping it. what gives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrexTitan Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 come on now... this should be a common bug right? : S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hickory Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 If you passed stage 1 (remember there are 4 stages) of vampirism, you cannot wield Light Of Dawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrexTitan Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 i accidentally slept before i picked it up and became one... but i loaded back to before i became one and used a cure disease potion... then picked it up on the save where i never became one... you suggesting that it happening once on a reverted save file prevents me from using the blade? what should i do then? become a vampire and do the cure test?`cause if this is the case, no matter what i do on this save won't allow me to use it.

Hickory Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 The test for vampirism in the Light Of Dawn quest is clear:If PCVampire > 0 Because of the Oblivion vampirism face bug, mods tend to not use player.getvampire to check if the player IS a vampire. Instead, they use the global variable PCVampire, which records the state of vampirism that the player has reached. If the player has been cured from vampirism, then that global gets reset to -1. That means that a cured vampire can wield Light Of Dawn. But any stage of vampirism from 1-4 inclusive, means you can't. Edit: Also, if you are going to load from a previous saved game, always quit to the desktop first, to ensure that all globals, counters etc. are correctly cleared.

TrexTitan Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 But the game crashed on me.. so when i loaded again and started from the previous save, would not this cause the nessesary globals to be cleared? at any rate, i can just become a vamp if this is the case and do the cure quest? or is there a console command i can use that sets my global PCvampire to -1?

TrexTitan Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) Ok excellent, i tried to just type the "Set PcVampire to -1" and it worked. thanks : ) Though i'm playing as a Nord bearded Jomsviking, so idk if he'd be caught dead using a phaggy katana x) wish it were a claymore instead. oh well. i'll still try it out as my anti vamp weapon : ) A add on question if anyone is kind enough to answer; does OOO or MMM add any good blunt weapons? thinking of weapons like a greataxe or warhammer that does not look... 'unique' like skulls or some fancy stuff, like a real looking, good looking weapon? Not a fan of the WoW esque fancy designs. Akin to the warhammers found in dragon age, maul/great axe types.

You're going to have to be more specific. Do you mean only stock equipment? What constitutes as 'fancy'? You can get lots of different clubs and batons; braided blunts from the corrupted Sylvan elves; scythes; ghostly and spectral blunts that can only be picked up if you have the Dread Armour set; the Winged Hammer and Winged Axe; and of course, the strongesy weapon in the game, Prince Xival Vyktur's Fury (he's the boss Valkynaz who wears unique Daedric armour at the end of the main quest.

TrexTitan Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) The winged great axe for instance, thats too 'fancy' for me, the braided warhammer looks good, but i could go for even more 'plain' less decals. Glad to know there are some good hammers and axes in the game, so far i've been treated to mostly swords, which is a shame. To explain my tastes, the weapons found in the 'real swords nord' package were spot on for me, but lacked any good 2h axes/hammers. Could you see a viking use that winged axe? sure i can see a deity or demi god use it, but does not fit my jomsviking. But thats quite helpful, thanks man : ) kudos to you! Oh and, the undead elven lord with the flaming swords (using deadly reflex so having a flaming weapon is good for undeads at times, because of the crits, the flame effect is quite good, makes it look like a magically enchanted weapon) where do you meet those? are they bosses of forts or do they spawn at higher levels?
