So uh. What's everyone think of this? http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/videos/734/ A teaser video for a planned DLC-like mod that actually contains nothing but the staff roll, presumably because these BIG NAMES should get you pumped up on their own. apollodown is apparently the lead writer.

scamtank posted:Probably the same one that makes >60fps refresh rates do poltergeist poo poo with physics objects. That sounds like it makes sense. Physics is generally based on your dt (change in time) since the last refresh, so that if you lag, things still move in the game world the same amount. Though, I would expect it to occur at very low refresh rates. I know from experience that if something is moving very fast it can phase through solid objects simply by being displaced to the other side of them without the game even knowing it collided with anything, since the two objects never intersected. Changing the rate at which your skills increase making you unable to buy skill training, on the other hand, seems like two only tangentially related things that shouldn't have any conflict with each other. I can't imagine how the system must be coded for a bug like that to be possible.

From this perspective Falskaar just extends the canvas. But maybe not, idk. Wyrmstooth was surprisingly decent. The only. Thing I didn't like about it was that it forced several followers on you at points, and that the characterization of the Orc follower was more along the lines of traditional D&D orcs than Elder Scrolls orcs. The new worldspace and dungrons were nicely done, and there were a bunch of neat side quests. The voice acting I'm both Moonpath and Wyrmstooth was fairly decent, with the exception of that Orc follower who sounded like a refugee from Warcraft II. I played through all these Quest Mods as a part of adding support for them in my Improved ASIS INIs. Also, going back to Moonpath for a second, I'd like to point out that you get to see both a Sload and a bunch of Imga, it was pretty neat to see them outside of background materials. The final ones I've tried to try were the "Fight Against the Thalmor" series, and honestly, I took them out of my load order because the little bit I bothered with was poorly done (South Dragon Bridge, everyone was tagged as a follower and had no other dialogue) or just a massive battle with a note on one body telling me where to go to have another massive battle.

I had a lot of lighting problems with moonpath and i think it was phinix enb at that time. Basically each area was insanely dark. Also i didnt like the fact that they had to edit the falkreath inn to such a degree. Could have been done differently. Also a ton of daedric weapons everywhere didnt help. Overall i wasnt into it. Wyrmstooth on the other hand feels like a more natural extension of skyrim.

Weird issue with the Hjerim TNF house mod. I decided to switch back to the vanilla house layout, and even after following all the uninstall steps I discovered that all the wall plaques added by the vanilla armory furnishing pack are gone. The activators for placing your weapons are still there, but hitting them removes your item and nothing appears. It's as though they all got deleted. I tried older saves and the only one they appear again in are from wayyyy back, before I ever started the Blood on the Ice quest. Any idea on how to get stuff back? I didn't [markfordelete] anything, using the [df493.enable] command doesn't work, and pcib'ing all parts and using [enable] doesn't do anything either. refID's for all the parts are: 0010291b (Right side of rack) 0010291a (Left side of rack) 00102915 (Iron Shield) 00102916 (Right Iron Great Sword) 00102917 (Left Iron Great Sword) 00102913 (Shield rack) 0010291 (top rack outside bedroom) 0010291 (bottom rack outside bedroom) 0010291 (bottom rack outside housecarl room) 000df581 (top rack outside housecarl room) I guess I could just go back to using the TNF version but I strangely like the basic Hjerim. Edit: Got things to appear by loading a save from last night, entering Hjerim, exiting to desktop, entering the game again and opening the autosave. I put things on the racks, quicksaved, and loaded up the most recent save game (where I first found plaques missing after uninstalling the mod). Upon then loading the quicksave file, the plaques were missing but items were floating there. So it seems to be some kind of script, but savetool finds nothing. I'm lost, but at least I know I have a somewhat recent save to revert to if all else fails... Fake James fucked around with this message at 01:31 on Oct 16, 2014 |

Geoff Zahn posted:Weird issue with the Hjerim TNF house mod. Looking at that mod's esp it both moves and disables the weaponracks but not by a script at least. This savegame cleaner claims to be able to clean saves for embedded refs. It says you can search by FormID so so try popping those FormIDs in and seeing if it can remove them. But there are a bunch of other forms connected with the weaponracks like 000df584 is the activator for the 000df581 and there should be at least 1 or 2 more for each of the others. Try looking at the esp in tesedit and they are under CELL, Block 4, Persistent.

I tried using that save cleaner and couldn't get all the plaques fixed (the ones outside the bedroom are fine, but the shield/swords one won't come back), but I found a backup save from right before trying the mod that I forgot I placed on my desktop. I'm going to keep tinkering with Tes5Edit and the Save Cleaner before going to the backup so that I'll know how to fix it if this happens again. Thanks for the help, guys! I'm slowly becoming less of a  when it comes to modding.

I'm about 20 hours into my current playthrough and have found Ultimate Combat + Revenge of the Enemies to be a good combination that makes combat more realistic without becoming tedious or overly difficult. Notably, archers will take cover when not firing at me and I need to wait for shield users to attack before I counter-attack. I did turn down my game difficulty from Adept to whatever one notch easier is.

If you get the modular version and just use the core, it gives the AI a little more oomph in combat that I find works well with other combat mods. The other options suck though, especially the poison one where every spider can one-hit kill you unless you chug potions or make yourself immune to poison. That combined with the horrible herds of tundra spiders (ASIS, of course) made the area around Whiterun an apocalyptic wasteland.

How do people feel about the various stealth overhauls (specifically PoS vs. SSR vs. Vanilla)? I've been using Path of Shadows as my stealth overhaul pretty much since I started modding Skyrim years ago. I'd been interested in changing to Kryptopyr's Stealth Skills Rebalanced for awhile (since I use and love pretty much every other mod she's made), but it conflicted with SPERG. It looks like a user has put out a patch the makes SSR SPERG friendly, so I was wondering if people think it would be worth it to switch. I worry that SSR may be a little too extensive of an overhaul (and that constantly taking off gauntlets until I hit a certain skill level will get tedious fast). On the other hand, I like some of the other things the mod does (seems to have better feeling detection than PoS at first blush, camouflage perk is neat). Also (since I don't really remember what vanilla stealth was like), is an overhaul even that useful?

Dr. Knothead posted:How do people feel about the various stealth overhauls (specifically PoS vs. SSR vs. Vanilla)? I used the modular version of Path of Shadows and only used the Sneak Settings mod which felt pretty good with SPERG and haven't tried out Stealth Skills Rebalanced. What I can say is you absolutely need some sort of overhaul as the vanilla stealth has you basically become invisible when you crouch. You can just cruise around at will cutting necks. Which is cool but not a challenge in any way. Right now I'm just using SkyRe as he made movement and equipment much more important to sneaking. He also built the Sneak tree around the Sneak Tools mod which adds in rope, oil, water, and noismaker arrows a la the Thief games.

There is also Stealth Skills Rebalanced SPERGIFIED which is v. good: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/56735 Warning that it does have a perk that makes lockpicking almost impossible if you're wearing gauntlets without that perk. But it basically makes Sneaking/lockpicking/etc way more reasonable than vanilla.

Unless you're in it for the unique treasures, I don't really think you need to use Morrowloot with Requiem. As I understand it, requiem includes much of the same changes to leveled loot and crafting lists that Morrowloot has.
