GrammerAngel Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Okay, I'm trying to fill an empty topless barrel with jewelry and treasures, but the nexklaces seem to "stack" improperly, and the chains take up the entire barrel with just ten or so necklaces. Is there any mod to fix this? I'm not sure exactly what to search for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tchos Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Usually items have a much simpler collision mesh than the actual, visible mesh, so stacking can be very troublesome, and filling up a barrel like that will probably never work out quite the way you want, unless you want to make one that has no collision on the treasures, and is only there for decoration, in which case you wouldn't be able to pick them up either. With collision the way it is, even if you get as many items packed into the barrel as you want, as soon as a player bumps the barrel or takes one of the jewels, Havok will activate on all the items in the barrel and they'll probably explode out of it.

Lardtree3 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I completely filled one of the large display cases in ArmoryLab with nothing but gems. Really entertaining when it's packed to brim and I finally decide to close it and gems pop out the sides and go ricocheting around the room. Funny but hard to see since it was already laggy from having 700+ gems there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrammerAngel Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 So the trick is just filling it with gems and rocks. Ah, well. Any more advice is appreciated, but now I've got some stealing and some rading to do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havoked items can take up quite alot of processing, especially if those items are fairly complex. Barrels full of stuff is why there is such a thing as a container menu. Putting items inside a barrel is also usually a bad idea no matter what since those items cannot usually be seen or accessed by the player or any NPCs around. If you really wanted a barrel full of something, like treasure, your best option is really to just make a new mesh to act as a container object, and make that mesh as uncomplicated as possible.

GrammerAngel Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 Fair enough, then. And by the by, thanks for the accidental suggestion for ArmoryLab. Never heard of it before, and it looks good. Nice to know there's someone out there looking out for the collectors/OCD-eds in this world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Use an open top barrel mesh right out of the CS to start, add a layer of static treasure to the top to fill the opening. Then make the barrel a container. Be sure to rename it. Then you can add and remove stuff as much as you want without the havoc causing it to scatter. It would be fun to see it though. As for a non exploding treasure barrel that you can add and remove stuff. Possibly use a script to vary the level of treasure in the barrel?Treasurebarrel1 - completely fullTreasurebarrel2 - 3/4 fullTreasurebarrel3 - half fullTreasurebarrel4 - 1/4 fullTreasurebarrel5 - empty just a stock barrel mesh, renamed and made into a container.Treasurebarrel0 - filled to overflowing with stuff falling out onto the floor. I'm not sure if OBSE has a function to count the items in a container or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
