Is there a ship with havok, so it will react to it's surroundings and maybe even float?

 

Though I've never seen it before, I can't imagine there is no ship with havok available.

PS: I searched my ass off. Hope you can help me out.

Do you mean a sailing ship or a row boat type thing?

First of all I should mention that OBSE will not work for me.

Secondly, as far as I can tell those ships are sailable ships, scripted and everything.

My main goal is to have the ship react like an item, so it would move when bumped into etc.

A while ago I downloaded the Sunbleached Shipwreck mod, and tried to make an item of this, scripted so you can't pick it up.

The not-picking-up part is simple. But not only does this have a gaping hole in the side, it won't react one way or the other. I suppose it somehow misses Havoks, and i think the hole is easily fixed (if not I'd be able to live with the hole, it's the Havok part that gets me)

 

Thanks in advance :)

Follow the instructions for OBSE toward the bottom of the page here: Preparing for Mods <-- steam users need the Steam DLL

 

There is no reason for OBSE to not work, unless you are using a D2D version of the game or something.

 

 

Edit: Make sure you launch your game with the obse launcher after installing it.

I found a mod that does exactly what your looking for QQuix - Rock rock rock your ship, but it runs off OBSE. Maybe we should work on the problem of getting your obse working because so many good mod run off obse and it will practically double the stuff you can do with oblivion.

True, I'd love to get it to work, as I've long tried to get the Skooma pipe mod to work :)

Thing is, OBSE says I have to old a version.. I have something like **.2* and it wants **.416* something. I myself could not fix it, but would love to hear a solution :D

Oh, you need to patch your game to the latest version. I am surprised you have not done that already.

 

Latest Official Patch - http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/updates_patches.htm

 

A lot of mods require that.

 

 

Edit: Be sure to grab OBSE v18 too.

There is a Euro version and an American version. Seeing as both are english, how do I know which one I need?

anyone is fine, but use whichever country's version that you brought your game in.

I know, I should be ashamed, but that's just it. I got a copy from a friend, and as I live in Amsterdam, you never know where something actually came from..

They are different file sizes; I think I'll just go for the bigger one.

I'm just VERY AFRAID this will ruin something, as I have no means of reinstalling. Considering this, would you still advise me to try?

 

Thanks alot sofar btw

Of course. Many mods require that you have the latest version, and it fixes many things. Make sure you get the right version, as there is a patch for the SI version separately from the non-SI version too. The size difference really does not matter. This is an official patch, not some mod...
