reyna2131 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Hey all, I'm a total noob to mods and modifying game files, and it seems daunting even with mod manager so I was wondering if someone could help me out and give me a step by step, from the bottom up, of how to properly download, install, and use the True Spear Combat mod. I already have FNIS downloaded but that's all, its showing up in Vortex and is toggleable. And I'd also like some help making sure my Vortex is set up propperly. To be honest, I really don't know what I'm doing. Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated and I would be very thankful. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NexusComa Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) INSTALL FNIS VIDEO ... MOD Installation1°) I recommend to Install TSC after all other mods like Tk Dodge. Use the NMM installation for TSC, you can choose what animations you want and add patches for others mods which add spears or other weapons.If you want installed patchs, two versions are possible: a) the main version which overwrite others mods with the patch, b) the update named TSC - Patchs - NMM, this last add the patch, you just need to uncheck all patchs of the main version. Don't care about the advert.c) To allow the overwrite for the 1st person behavior of TKDodge by my files2°) Install and Launch FNIS by Fore, U don't need to click on anything, deactivate (PCEA) if active and just clic on "Update Behavior".3°) U can play and you don't need to start a new game.4°) You need SkyUI for run the MCM. The MCM allow you to add or delete animations for spears, if you see NPCs who don't play animation, turn off the mod with MCM and just after, turn it on on. Five NPCs can play animation in the same time. 5°) The MCM menu allow you to change what you want, like the random timing with the bottom named "Player: Animation Check Interval". I recommend 6 for combat and 50 out of combat, due to my idle animation Xtra long (50 seconds)Everything you need to know ... Hard to get help like what you're asking. Modding Skyrim is kind of hard ... just keep pushing using this information.I also found a lot of forum posts on this. Use a search and just start reading till you find your answer. That how we all do it and yes it is a pain to learn. Edited November 19, 2018 by NexusComa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reyna2131 Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) Great, thanks for that. I've followed all the instructions and downloaded all the mod files it just keeps saying FNIS not installed. I just don't really know what I'm doing, I don't know what MCM or SKSE is or how to use them, I'm not sure of the differences between NMM and Vortex. I was hoping someone with some experience could share that knowledge. I'm also not sure if I'm using Vortex correctly and how it all jives with the current Bethesda updates. That's the kind of help I needed. Thanks for your input anyways. Edited November 19, 2018 by reyna2131 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reyna2131 Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 Vortex isn't installing TCS SSE because "The specified path, file name, or both are too long." Apparently the file name must be less than 260 characters and the path name must be less than 248 characters. Like... What? What does that even mean. How do I fix that?
