I don't care if the sword (or whatever) I'm swinging actually blurs or not, any kind of graphic effect will work. Some kind of slashing arc would work just as well.

So a while ago in the thread I mentioned a 28 days later mod and someone was like, "You should try that and post a trip report," and I was like, "Hey, that's a good idea," so here's a brief trip report. I haven't checked the barricading/siege damage features, so I don't know how those worked. Firstly, to make things really feel like a zombie invasion any essential NPCs will need to have that removed so that they can, you know, die. Otherwise you wind up with NPCs that are infected, but that never die themselves and you get one of two results. If you set infected NPCs to go berserk, there are a couple of invincible enemies running around. If you did not set infected NPCs to go berserk, you have invincible defenders running around. Aside from that, the mod has so much customization available the mod manager in-game menu that the only real problem is the lack of proper atmosphere. NPCs only get killed if you're there to participate in combat, so it's not possible to sic a bunch of zombies on a city and then have everyone be dead by the time you get there. Even after everyone is dead, the town, I think, will still look the same. So Whiterun will be sort of all bright and cheery with a bunch of monsters running around. It's not clear how much zombies will wander out into the wild, but my impression is that this doesn't happen very often, if at all, and they'll just stand around in town if nothing is there to provoke them. Zombie populations and migration is all handled in a back-end sort of system, and as long as you stay away from towns I don't think you'll see any. I'm not even sure if zombie populations change all that much if you're not in some town or other. Zombies resurrecting seems to be handled by a dice roll. If successful, the old corpse disappears and a new one is respawned in its place. Clunky, but it works. I do wonder what affects so much spawning and respawning might have on save games and such though. It's possible for the player to die and respawn as a zombie. You just have to die while infected. After that you become a zombie of some type or other and can attempt to go on a little rampage. I believe you can infect other NPCs while in this form. As near as I can tell there's no way to go back to being a non-zombie. Once you get killed as a zombie the game treats that as a normal death and you'll respawn from your last save. If you use SkyXP or a similar, alternate leveling system that gives you points based on skills, this mod can feel like cheating if your zombies aren't strong enough. The zombies themselves have a decent variety and are interesting to look at, though I'm not sure they all have proper walking and running animations. Eh. While it's not possible to change how everything is handled through the back end and whether or not NPCs are essential with this mod alone, everything else I just talked about can be tweaked in some way or other. If you ever wanted to play Skyrim: I Am Legend this mod will let you do it if you're willing to do a little bit of preparation. Like, say, setting an extremely long respawn time on cells in general, then murdering all the NPCs before you set off the zombie apocalypse. Also this was all on a saved game with a lot of progress, so at first glance adding/removing this mod to saved games won't break anything horribly, but, as always, ymmv.

I recently found and downloaded a Skeleton race from the workshop and I'm having way too much fun. While I'm willing to accept it's flaws, I was wondering if anyone knows of a playable skeleton mod where you can wear any armor and see it? Or better yet. One where you have to earn societies trust? This one currently does not support all armors on the model, so my torso is naked atm. And the author said he was done working on it.

I really need to catch up with this thread. I remember someone here was trying to make a great bow mod; did that ever get uploaded? I'm also looking for a mod that adds more transformations -- turning into wolves and bears and the like. Any recommendations for something like that? I've looked a few druid mods but those seem to be more into nature magic than transformation.

On a similar note - does anyone have any Vampire/Werewolf overhaul mods that they can recommend? Basically I'm just looking for something to make both forms a little more risky (proper sun penalties, lunar transformations) and a little more interesting. I've found Heart of the Beast (better werewolf sounds, howl at the moon sort of stuff) and Bloodmoon Tales which adds moonlight transformations, werebears, hunters coming after you and stuff which seems neat. Haven't tried either yet though so I don't know if it works well! But Jesus Christ it's pretty much 50/50 on whether a mod page is actually going to tell me clearly what the mod does or devolve into someone's vampire/werewolf/anime/ fanpage, any suggestions you guys have would be awesome. Also I managed to mostly remove the problems I was having with SPERG's Phantom Beasts perk - I believe it was being triggered by a dodgy workshop mod not being properly installed. Bears/Spiders/Deers get desummoned once battle's over now!

Ron Paul Atreides posted:With TESEdit 5, is it pretty much just about making a merge patch between poo poo MO is detecting conflicts in or is it more guess work than that? It depends on the type of conflict. If it's affecting leveled lists, a Bashed Patch is better for those IMO. A conflict that affects more specific things like what is added to the world space would benefit better from a Merged Patch. It's pretty easy to make the patches as well. I think either Lt.Smash or Agents Are Go! made a quick and dirty how-to on making Merged Patches, which I will find tonight and stick in the OP.

VVV I'm thinking the same thing, I wouldn't imagine any of the 'turn NPCs to vampire/werewolf' mod options would go very well with how I normally play. Luckily they're all pretty customizable!

A conflict that affects more specific things like what is added to the world space would benefit better from a Merged Patch. Here is my rundown on Bashed and Merged patches. And to answer Ron Paul's question MO only detects conflicts between files. So mostly scripts, textures and meshes. Or whole esps. A bashed or merged patch is the contents of the esps.

Ok, that confused me a little. What is the difference between merged patches and bashed patches? Bashed patches are simply ones made with wyrebash while merged are from TEVEdit? TESVEdit can combine multiple mods into a single esp to reduce plugins, while wyre only combines leveled lists?

TESVEdit can combine multiple mods into a single esp to reduce plugins, while wyre only combines leveled lists? Wrye Bash makes Bashed patches which use bashed tags to combine leveled lists changes. It can also combine a few types of simple mods into the bashed patch to lower plugin count. TesVedit makes Merged Patches. It integrates many different things besides leveled lists like weapons, armor, and npc changes. It also supports scripts that can do a number of useful developer things. One of them is called Merge Mods or something that takes the contents of two or more plugin files and makes them into one. This has had some issues in the past and is not the same as a merged patch despite the confusingly similar change. The Wrye team is in the process of expanding what the bashes patch can do so hopefully we will be able to use it for everything before too long.

Gyshall posted:Bash and TES5Edit both do two different things, although having both lets you have a 230+ mod list with relative stability. Basically follow the steps above, and when you make your merged patch, expand it to find the leveled lists (LeveledNPC and LeveledItem), right click them and select Remove/Delete. Do this only if you're using a Bashed Patch to handle your leveled lists.

Keep in mind that a Merged Patch won't resolve conflicts with a record if more than one mod edits the same entry within that record. So if you have an item renaming mod that renames gold ingots to "Ingot: Gold", another mod that edits the weight of gold ingots, and a mod that edits both the weight and value of gold ingots but with a different weight value than the earlier mod, then gold ingots won't be included in your patch and will be edited by the last mod that is loaded, since TES5Edit doesn't know which weight-editing mod to prefer. You can make the necessary tweaks manually, however, say setting both weight-editing mods to the same weight value, in which case gold ingots will be merged into the patch with the new name, weight, and value. This was my experience, at least, and someone more familiar with merged patches should correct me if I'm wrong.

Nah, sometimes the mods really are on equal ground and you have to judge which one comes out on top. TES5Edit just makes this process relatively painless. I can't imagine doing this poo poo with the official creation kit.

What's really weird is mods made by the same person and designed to work together that make conflicting changes to the same records. I know that Clothing and Clutter Fixes and Complete Crafting Overhaul Remade had some conflicts and would prevent certain items from getting merged, at least they did the last time I took a look. Edit: Just looked, the ores have different weight and values between the two mods. Alasyre fucked around with this message at 06:03 on Dec 4, 2014 |

Yeah, I remember spending a while going over those. Usually I went with the C&CF's changes to item weights and values, because those were different and way more interesting than the default.

I have no idea where the 3 came from and now believe that TES5Edit works because of witchcraft.

On using mod manager every time I try to download something from Nexus, I get: The only thing I can think of is this line from the "News" section at the top of the description for MO: quote:Nexus has again locked out older versions of NMM from connecting to Nexus and MO is affected as collateral damage. You can fix this by going to settings->workarounds and enter 0.52.2 as the NMM Version. Since you have a network error, this seems like a good bet. But I'm going to guess you've already done this, because your error log mentions that your MO is "compatible to Nexus Client v0.52.2". I'm thinking that Nexus maybe did something similar once again after this workaround was posted. If that's the case, then you might be able to fix it by changing the NMM Version to 0.52.3, which appears to be the latest version.

Anybody else get DynDOLOD working? I have, and although the process looks a bit intimidating, it is totally worth it. If you do get it working, don't bother upping your uGridsToLoad anymore, either. It really needs to go in the OP. Previously I had rolled my own set of static LOD to generate in TES5Edit, which gave me a lot of high-res LOD but was pretty hard on performance. Performance is slight improved now even though I've got heaps more static LOD and also the DynDOLOD scripts running as well. Look at this poo poo, this is all with stock uGrids (5):
