Spinner385 Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Just uploaded my first mod. Gives you magnitude and duration in the potions names, also names multiple effects. Check it out and let me know what you think. Link in sig. Thnx
scrivener07 Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Not my taste but it looks good. I would find a way ditch the spell and make it automatic. No source so I cant offer much advice other than trying Event Onit() on the potions so they are renamed when initialized. edit: duh, this was discussed in a previous thread :)
Spinner385 Posted July 29, 2012 Author Posted July 29, 2012 I thought about having it automatic but didn't for two reasons. One is if you load in a harry situation you may get caught with your pants down (literally) and wont have your favorites set up. If you didn't re-load your client it wouldn't be necessary anyway. Two is if you uninstall the mod, scripts have a way of lingering in your savefile and you may keep removing/adding your inventory and having to reset your favorites. I have a felling more people will say this so maybe I'll just make two versions of it. Not a hard thing to do. Also I know it doesn't have a very immersive feel. Its very technical. I'd like to work on that without making the names to long to read in the favorites menu. Thnx for checking it out and the input!
Bettafighter Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 This looks feasible, but might complicate things a little. WIll download and try.
Spinner385 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Posted July 30, 2012 Thnx a bunch guys! I hate that such a simple idea became so complicated. I'd really like advice to make it more attractive. I think its a useful idea just hard to execute. Been thinking of throwing out multiple effects and simply listing only magnitude (or duration for paralysis etc.) with the vanilla names. That would make it more attractive but loose a lot of the functionality. If I could figure out how to make CFM display more text that would help too.
Spinner385 Posted July 31, 2012 Author Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) I added a third version. It is a vanilla version. It only adds magnitude or duration to the vanilla names. The only other feature is it makes restore effect display in names instead of fortify etc. Edit: Went ahead and made it auto too Edited July 31, 2012 by Spinner385
Spinner385 Posted July 31, 2012 Author Posted July 31, 2012 Had a breakthrough!The spell is no longer necessary. I figured out a way to only run the inventory evaluation when the client loads not every save. It's the best of both worlds. If I can figure out a way to reset hotkeys when you first load your client, it will be completely unintrusive.
