Bookshelves question(s)

[Remcoz]

Hello :-)

 

Busy making a first player home west of Whiterun (starts looking real good) and everything is going well ... but ...

I have a problem with my bookshelf(ves) .

I followed carefully and exactly this tuto : http://www.creationk...ial_Bookshelves , step by step .

Made a shelf for 18 books with the markers,triggers and ref-linked them as described .

In game , I can see, activate and open them .They're empty ... but they tell me that I "can store 0 more books on this shelf" ...:excl:

So storing a book from my inventory doesn't work ^^ .

Tried to leave & re-enter the cell ... loaded another save with a "fresh cell-enter".... no change .

I triple-checked the ref-links ,primitive tabs etc...., and they're conform to the tuto ... couldn't find any obvious failure .

 

I checked but couldn't find any topic on this precise case .

Any ideas on what I may have missed here ? ;)

 

Thanks for suggestions :-)

Edit PS : btw , if I make a successful 18-book-shelf and I duplicate the "whole kit" , will the ref-links in the duplicated kit auto-point at their 18 dupli-books ?

Or will I have to re-link all the dupli's one by one again ?

I don't know why you bookshelf isn't working as I have never used one of the Bethesda ones (I created my own bookshelf for 594 books, i.e. all of them)

 

The links/relationships between selected objects are duplicated/copied when you pres Ctrl+D or Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V, however any links to other objects NOT selected are NOT copied.

e.g

Item A is linked to Item B, Item C is linked to Item D and both C & D have an enable parent of Item E

 

Select items A+B+D+E (not C) and duplicate

The new copies of A&B are linked and the new copy of D has an enable parent of the new copy of E but the link to C is lost.

I'm sorry I can't help with the problem you're having creating your bookshelf, however, I find this mod priceless when making a player home, for both bookshelves and weapon racks.

Hey :)

Ok for the duplication-properties , I copy that ;) . Thx Flobalob .

And SheWildWolf , your link to that ressources-mod might come out very handy ... Thanks for the tip ;)

 

Still open though for other suggestions about my empty-but-0-add-able shelves ...:rolleyes:

Hello :-)

 

Back to my mod after some time off ... And I still have a weird issue with those "damn" bookshelves .

After solving the book-duplication-glitch (taking book directly from shelf and it remains in Bookshelf-inventory , thus dupli...) ,

I managed to make a 10-book-shelf/container working perfectly ingame .

So , after that successful test , I returned in CK , and I duplicated(ctrlD) that whole "book-kit" about 5 times , placing them

on the shelves around ... and strange thing :

The book-kit dupli's triggers show all "10 more books can be stored" .... but the original one that worked well in 1st place now shows :

"11 more books can be stored" .

I didn't change anything on that one since the 1st test .

 

Why would the amount of books change suddenly ?

 

Does it have to do with ref-links "BookshelvesTrigger 01-02-03-04 ?

If so , How can I create "Bookshelves 05-06-.....15 and so on ? (Only 01-04 are available in CK)

my goal is to make a library in my house , trying to reach storage for +/- 500 books in one cell)

 

Any help/suggestion ?

 

Thankies,

Ok , managed to create additional BookshelvesTriggers (05-06--->40)

Ref-linking each 10-book shelf to its unique bookshelvesTrigger .

Made 24 shelves (capacity 10) so far ..

 

About the added amount ... noticed that when having a 10-book shelf and ONLY using inventory to store/remove books , it stays at 10 .

But , when taking a single book directly from shelf (filled with the 10 books) (read + take) , the book is removed OK from shelf & inventory ... but

re-activating the bookshelf gives the prompt "2 more books can be stored"... while there are already 9 (only 1 was removed).

This looks like a bug ... I repeated that symptom on each of the 24 shelves I created ...

funny thing is that , if you read/take 2or3 books directly from shelf ...it adds that amount to the bookcontainer capacity (Making a thus a 10-book container a 12-13-book ...)

Though there are still 10 bookmarkers . :wallbash:

 

200% sure to have all my ref-links/markers/containers/triggers set-up ok , following this tuto : Creation Kit Bookshelves Tutorial

 

Anyone ? ;-)

Thx
