Silvarz Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) No thats not quite it, I "checked" the Oblivion.esm and Throne Armor.esp and set my new mod for the summons as the active file (which automatically checks it) It relies on armor and weapons from Throne Armor.esp but my new esp for the summoning mod is only reading oblivion.esm as the parent but it relies on Throne Armor.esp for the armor and weapon resources. And so i put it in the inventory, look at the preview and it wears the armor, the NPC does NOT have the "unequip armor" checked so that is not the problem. But it simple wont wear that armor ... perhaps because its set to "initially disabled" while in the holding cell so it doesn't move around but i do not think that could be it ...

bencebence Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I don't think so that causes it, but I have no idea what causes it then... Do you have the armor esp activated while playing? Does she wear it in CS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvarz Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) So like what do you mean by "if you loaded the armor's esp at the beginning, you must make the NPC use those armors" you just lost me there. But yea i do keep dragging the armor into the NPC inventory (saved and repeated) but somehow it just keeps on "disappearing" every time i test it in the game. I would THINK it is because it doesn't have "Throne Armor.esp" set to a parent file ... although I am really not sure why it is not saving properly. And yes i check "oblivion.esm" and "Throne Armor.esp" then set my new esp "Throne Armor Summon.esp" as the active file, Then I push "ok" so that it loads up. I put the items into the NPC inventory then save it. (all the references are already in place beforehand so i am basically just editing the inventory only). Try it out in the game ... and there are just no items (all of them are just the armor, shield,and weapon from Throne Armor.esp) inventory is just blank like it doesn't have it. I open it up in CS and the inventory is blank. I just do not understand how this problem keeps repeating ... Since you seem to know so much of it, do you want me to upload it to Nexus and we could kind of do some sort of collaboration?

bencebence Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 The problem is, which is causing me many problems, that at the moment the laptop I have both Oblivion and CS on, is at repairsman :SSo let's see your problem.You say that, you place the Throne Armors and Weapons to his/her inventory in CS. When you put her/him into the render window (any cell) does the armor show up? If it is, then did you save before exiting CS?Ingame does she/he wears the armor? (if his/her inventory is empty it could mean two things: a) If she/he is wearing the armor, then it won't show up in inventory. b) If she/he doesn't wear it, then you didn't save the esp, or place the armor into his/her inventory via CS.)

fg109 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 The problem is that bencebence has gotten too used to using CSE and forgot that the vanilla CS doesn't assign esp files as masters. Your solution is to either force your mod to recognize the throne armor esp as a master, or else create a duplicate of the armor in your own mod. To create a duplicate, just edit the original items, change the editor ID, click ok and say yes, you would like to create a new item. If you want to force your mod to recognize the throne armor esp as a master, then you could either use CSE to create your mod or else you can load up Wrye Bash, right-click your mod, and select "Add Master".

Silvarz Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 Is Wyre bash significantly different from TES? (aka CS) Still rather new to this whole modding thing. its getting complicated to get this thing to work properly ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fg109 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 It's completely different. But it's just a couple of mouse clicks to do what you want. Shouldn't be that hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvarz Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Alright would some one point out some basic tutorials for me? ... something comprehensive to a person new with mods to begin with ... and maybe some links to download it as i am not sure whats the newest version, etc. Oh and for tutorials I am thinking from their "official" site or maybe just a good site all about wyre bash ... its always where to start thats confusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
