AndyXvers2 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 i would like to request an icon or something to help indicate when a player or follower has been afflicted with a disease. Shopkeepers asking whether or not i feel well, is NOT a great reminder of having a debilitating disease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyXvers2 Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 was thinking about this. maybe when you contract a disease an icon will appear next to the Stamina bar, i'm thinking that whomever is kind enough to complete this mod, could use the Poisoned weapon icon, just place it on the HUD maybe add a flashing "outer glow" effect to it to add some sense of urgency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyXvers2 Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 came up with some samples of how this might look if i actually knew how to create Mods.anyone who knows how is more than welcome to create this mod for the community and me ^_^ let me know what samples you like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyXvers2 Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) apparently the file size of 135 kb is too big to upload any more than 1 picture per posting. Sorry about that. this one i cropped the arrow head and flights off the icon to try and better punctuate that it is a disease and not a poison that you are afflicted with Edited January 11, 2012 by AndyXvers2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyXvers2 Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 this one uses a transparencey fade instead of an "outer glow" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyXvers2 Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 this one uses a combination of both Transparency fade and outer glow. i feel the red (BA0000) really grabs the player's attention like a visual klaxon or something. I'm open to suggestions on how this mod should look, i just do not have the knowledge to make such a mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajikMoshos Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 While we're at it, a similar symbol to let one know how much longer they have till their invisibility runs out. Nothing's worse than suddenly turning visible the moment you're about to strike with no warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phobrek Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I've never even known that I've had diseases until reading this post... I thought the occasional "you're not looking so good" comment was just more random filler dialogue to be ignored! If there's some effect from being diseased, I don't know what it is, yet. My first character is level 38, and I'm sure I've gotten a few diseases along the way. What is there currently that lets you know you're infected? If there's diseases to be had, I think I'd like it if their effects were notable, so besides this mod, I'd be interested in one that increases their effects. I'm still not sure how I'd get a disease... I can't seem to find any of Skyrim's well-hidden brothels. Was it something I ate? My lack of sleep? Sifting through skeever corpses for ingested gems?

Nothing's worse than suddenly turning visible the moment you're about to strike with no warning.I didn't even think about this... where are all the buff icons and such? I like an uncluttered UI as much as the next person, but having tiny icons to let me know what I'm under the influence of (just for, say, consumables, not ongoing effects from gear or blessings, etc.) would be a huge help.

MajikMoshos Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Phobrek, currently you can check any diseases or buffs by looking in the spells list and scrolling down to 'Active Effects'. There it lists all the good and bad buff affecting your character, the bad ones are in red. Very clumsy if you're trying to sneak through a dungeon or want to know how much longer your fortify buff has. Tiny icons above the health bar shouldn't clutter the interface. Skull for poison, Bat for Sanguine Vampiris, some sort of sickly hand for ataxia, a divine's symbol for their blessing, that sort of thing.
