[LE] Plz, Need help to understand what i doing wrong

[Sthaagg]

Hello,

 

I try to make a compatibility patch to use Auto Unequip Shield to Back by 7StarC with Vilja and Inigo.

 

4StarC tell me that :

You need to place your follower into the BackshieldsFollowerFaction and load your followers into the alias (for follower 1 to 10). Or even better copy one of the alias and specify the alias to load your custom follower actor. And make sure to put him/her to the BackshieldsFollowerFaction.

 

 

I think i have understand what alias is (but i'm not totally sure) ^^

So i have opened the mod with CK.
Set the mod as active, select quest "BackShields", click on the quest aliases tab.
I've edited first alias (backshieldfollower1), and i add AAEMVilja in unique actor field (Fill type section)

I've added BackshieldsFollowerFaction to her too.

And i haven't any dialog choice or else.

 

Someone could explain me what i did wrong or just point me the way please ? because i'm totally lost :/

 

PS: English is not my language, if something is not understandable please tell me, i will try to explain it better.

PPS: I know that sort of thing could be achieve with DSR but i want to avoid it for performance reason.

Hi!

 

 

I am using Sofia and Inigo together.

 

Backshields and the compatibility patch are loaded. After some debug I found out that SofiaFollowerFaction is not found by my game, but Sofia's mod adds it. Open Tes5Edit and in the compatibility patch you'll see conditions for the dialogue to show up. If a faction is not found, then it's treated like 0, neither of the conditions met so no dialogue were added in my game.

 

BackshieldsFollowerFaction and SofiaFollowerFaction is not found in my game.

 

I added Sofia to CurrentFollowerFaction.

Click on her in the console to select her RefID and:

addfac 0005C84E 1

Then I clicked on the dialogue option “You don’t need your shield now”. After this I removed her from that faction to not to cause trouble, because there must be a reason the author didn’t include her in that faction.

 

Click on her in the console to select her RefID and:

addfac 0005C84E -1

It is working fine.

 

It works for Inigo out of the box, because he is in the WIFollowerCommentFaction by default.

 

 

The only problem I have is Sofia and Inigo is using dual wield or bows in combat even though I set them to use blade. Dual wield is bigger problem. Why do they do it?

 

Don’t get scared if they don’t reequip their shields from their backs, they will do it in actual combat.

 

Let me include my debug batch I used to get the condition values.

 

Click on her in the console to select her RefID and:

bat thisFileName
