m2pt5 posted:I've found a few different things that people have said are supposed to be in the ini and I have no idea which is right. DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB= <default heap initial allocation size in megabytes, vanilla size is 512> ScrapHeapSizeMB= <scrap heap size in megabytes, vanilla size is 256> For some reason (*cough*crappycoding*cough*) Skyrim is really bad at reserving new memory when the blocks it already reserved when the game launched are full. When the game attempts to do this, the result is generally crashing, freezing and infinite loading screens. If you're getting those issues, this tweak can help. What this does is force to game to allocate a bigger block of memory when it boots, thus preventing the need for the game to attempt to reserve a new block of memory while the game is running and fail miserably in the process. These values should be good for almost all setups: DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=768 ScrapHeapSizeMB=256 DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB is "desired value + 256". So now the game will reserve 512mb & 256mb, instead of 2x 256mb blocks on launch. Be carefull about increasing these values willy nilly. There's no need to for the game to allocate a much larger block then it needs and doing so can cause crashes. If you're still running out of memory, use this skse plugin to find out how big of block your modded setup needs. Also if DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB is less than 1024 then ScrapHeapSizeMB must be 256. If DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB is 1024 or greater ScrapHeapSizeMB must be 512 or the game will crash on start. [General] ClearInvalidRegistrations=1 This function attempts to remove orphaned OnUpdate and OnUpdateGameTime events left behind after you removed a script from a save. It can also be called via the console command ClearInvalidRegistrations. Enabling it via the .ini executes the command automatically on each reload. Note that if you want to remove a script heavy mod, then unless the mod creator has setup an uninstal process for you to follow, it's best to either start a new game or revert back to an old save from before you installed the mod. If you really must keep the save, you can enable this function to see if it fixes the savebloat issues that can happen after removing a script heavy mod. Otherwise you can leave it disabled. [Display] iTintTextureResolution=<value> Default value is 256. Allows you to change the size of the dynamically built tint textures. Meaning warpaint, lips and other textures on character's faces. If you're using high-res mods of those texture, you'll probably want to change this value. [Debug] WriteMinidumps=1 This has SKSE write a minidump in <My Documents>\My Games\Skyrim\SKSE\Minidumps when the game crashes. Unless you know how to read minidumps there's no point to enabling it. [Loader] RuntimeName=TESV.exe This allows you to set the SKSE loader to boot a different executable. The only use for this that I can think of, is if you want to launch Skyrim+SKSE from your steam library, but you don't want to add the skse_loader.exe as a non-steam game. [Interface] EnableContainerCategorization=1 This enables item catagories in the container interface. If you're using SkyUI you can ignore this as it comes with a SKSE plugin that does the same thing.

I saw an article about this mod on a video games website but didn't see anything in the OP: RealVision ENB http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/30936/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=260dhPHk_yc&hd=1 Has anyone tried this? I'll soon be playing Skyrim for the first time and was wondering if this was worth setting up, the install instructions make it seem like a somewhat lengthy process.

Keep in mind though it probably won't look exactly like the screenshots/videos. The people who make these ENB have crazy quad-sli setups if the posters on the ENB forums are any indication. I sure as heck can't ever get the game to look like their pictures do anyway.

Trip report: A guy has been complaining that asis has been adding the perk reflect blows to enemies despite them not having 100 heavy armor skill and him putting it in the perk exclusions list. I finally got on his twitch to walk him through troubleshooting and discovered he was playing as a boobtacular hourglass shaped girl with hilarious jiggle physics wearing armor that consisted of plate chaps, shoulder pads, gloves, and pasties and an anime as gently caress sword with an idle animation of caressing her boob. Turns out some OBIS bandits have reflect blows even without ASIS.

Memory settings are the alpha only. Its system memory not gpu memory. Also if DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB is less than 1024 then ScrapHeapSizeMB must be 256. If DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB is 1024 or greater ScrapHeapSizeMB must be 512 or the game will crash on start.

Does anyone know of any good evil light armor mods? I've seen the Evil Mastermind set but it's a bit too "calculating sociopath" for the character I'm thinking. I'm hoping for something more "vengeful berserk button psychopath". Anyone know of anything?

Updating the CTD problem, I've installed the alpha of SKSE and was using the Memory Block plugin to chart what numbers I would need (still unmodded thusfar, so expected somewhere close to vanilla or recommended earlier). However, after experiencing a CTD while trying to exit an area, I checked back in the log and found that while the initial blocks were reserved for both at 256MB, the highest block A got to before the crash was 151MB (Block 2 reaching 69MB). So maybe a memory issue isn't to blame here? What other ways can I deduce what is making me CTD?

CTDs are exceedingly hard to pin down. The vanilla game will crash on its own from time to time and basically any kind of mod can make the game crash if they are broken or conflict with other mods. There are no crash logs. Have you cleaned your dlc and any plugins that boss/loot tell you to? Pastebin your load order and link it. Are your drivers etc up to date?

Drivers are up to date, as far as I know. And I have no sort order besides Skyrim.esm and Update.esm, the latter of which reported two dirty edits: 92 ITM, 3 UDR records. I went and got TES5edit and checked both for errors and got a big rear end list, I'm going to do another test run with this.

Hog Butcher posted:I've had good luck with Papyrus with CTDs. If a script causes a crash skyrim will exit before the error is written to the papyrus log. So the only way you will get it logged is if there is a non-fatal error in the same script before the fatal one. Non-script crashes won't ever show up in the papyrus log but might happen to coincide with a script error.

YOURFRIEND posted:Please play skyrim unmodded the first time around. Mod it after you have two hundred hours, it is a fine game. It's easy to turn DoF off and tweak the other settings to your liking. I'm using realvision enb with DoF off and saturation turned down a bit and it looks so god drat good. You don't need an insane setup either. I have a 2gb graphics card and an I5 and I get 35 fps outdoors, 45 indoors which is plently playable, espcially considering how pretty it is. That's about 15 less to make the game look awesome and I have some other texture mods and environment/foliage stuff going on too. Since I installed it I think the only time I've fast traveled is when I've had to go to High Hrothgar again because I just want to look at everything as I'm walking around.

I'm using the realistic lighting version of realvision enb. The only things I changed in my configs from the default realvision enb gives are EnableDepthOfField to false in enbseries.ini and #define saturation to -.3 in sweetfx_settings.txt because I thought there was too much. You also have to change #define use_tonemap to 1 in sweetfx_settings.txt to do that. They're both in the skyrim game folder. Depth of Field was actually like a 5 fps hit for me and I don't like it anyway unless maybe I want to take a screenshot sometime, in which case I can always turn it back on. The enb gives you an in game menu you can use adjust things further and check them out in game before you change it too. ProfessorGroove fucked around with this message at 05:18 on Jun 27, 2014 |

Oh boy, people weren't kidding about Skyrim mods being a rabbit hole. Ran a little bit of vanilla, then installed the patches. Then I installed Skyrim HD. Then Realvision ENB. Now I'm downloading stuff like texture mods for rugs and potion bottles. I'll eventually play the game.

(Yes, I am referring to that nexus comment from a while ago, it stuck in my mind with how utterly stupid it was.) I'm seriously considering if it would be possible to port the mechanics of ASIS into the Oblivion-engine games, using a TESEdit patch in place of the patcher...

An xEdit script to make a patch would be possible but it uses pascal-like syntax and I'm not sure you can define new data structures so it would be a beast to make something like ASIS in it.

Are there any mods that will let you hire guards for specific spots? Right outside Lakeview Manor, for instance. I guess something that allowed you to magically spawn a guard would be okay. Whatever gets them there. Typically telling a follower to wait outside that house would make them go inside and hang out so that's a no go.

Using the "Wait" command in EFF should do this; however, I think you occasionally need to check in with them or they'll dismiss themselves. Using the "Relax" command will make them wander around.

Make sure your Skyrim is not in Program Files (x86). That can cause issues with MO. If it is, you can use a program like Steam mover to move it out, or use Steam's backup function to make a copy of Skyrim then delete the local files. Click on the backup to reinstall to a different location without having to download it all again.

So I don't know if this has been asked before, but is there a mod out there that allows you to get to the Word Walls that are stuck behind Guild quests without having to join that guild? Like getting one of the words for Fire Breath requires joining The Companions, Ice Form from the College, etc. I don't really want to use that bat shout mod that just gives you everything through the console but I also don't want to join every drat guild for the words.

Did the Best Friend perk in SPERG change recently to remove some of the options? I just did a big Skyrim reinstall and I could have sworn Netch Calves and Death dogs used to be on the list. Also trying to change a Best Friend's species in the creation kit is miserable. I got a (mostly) functioning Chaurrus after about 8 hours once. Made me really respect how much work and testing goes into these mods.
