LE Zahkrii Do Dovahkiin - Hidden DLC Dragonborn Sword

[pmnavatar]

Yeah, things have been crazy. Turns out having 2 young kids and a 3rd in the NICU makes life very complicated! But all is well. :smile:

 

Anyways, the sword is done. The only part I'm stuck on is getting it it glow like Ghosu's example. I've got some sort of magic effect on that activates after using the shout, but it's not an enhanced/increased glow. If anyone has any pointers on which effect that is, I'm all ears!

 

Cheers!

C'mon guys, a little help, pls??

This thread has rallied so much interest, to save time to our busy modders, we need someone that can:

 

- Explain/Build the glowing magic effect that Ghosu figured out.

- Create the shout with custom enchantments:

 

My ideia on the words/enchants were these:

 

- Grah (Battle) - Gives 50% armor piercing ability (it's a script ability);

- Dov (Dragon) - 1 handed version could have a Fus Roh Dah effect with every power attack / the 2-handed version could have the bloodskall blade ability with power attacks;

- Zoor (Legend) - Absorb 30 Health+Stamina+Magicka (it's a high level weapon!)

 

Thnx!

Hello

 

Sry but i can't continue my work right now and/or reply to all PMs...my state of health is not good atm, had a little jaw surgery lately and a bigger one is coming up and i need to fix several other things so i can't spend time on modding right now. Not sure if i continue my work, if not i might upload my WIP as modder's ressource - not sure atm.

 

However, i'll give you a rough idea how it works so you can continue your mod (my files are in a quite chaotic WIP state so they won't help you much)...

 

I'm using 2 models.

1. NIF = sword with textures, the default sword ingame.

2. NIF = same model but the texture uses an alpha channel to show only the runes and eyes, the rest of the model is invisible. It uses an glowing map as well...when you shout ingame it blends in the 2.NIF, overlays the original runes and disappears after a few seconds. It uses shader effects like a bound weapon.

The different textures i'm using on each NIF

Some settings of the 2. NIF (aka glow model)http://666kb.com/i/ce09on2dw1sxw4nn7.jpg

 

I'll try to sort out some of the CK work, maybe i'll record a video since it might be a bit complicated...but i've got no time atm so IF i find the time i'll show you the rest. Or make my files useable to use them as template.

 

greetings

Hey Ghosu,

 

Thanks for the response and I hope all is going well with you!

 

That's a very creative solution you have there with the 2 separate NIFs. That would've never occurred to me. I'll take it and run with it and see what I can do. Take care of yourself first. :smile:

 

Cheers and thanks again! This helps immensely. :smile:
