Question about a couple mods, Dragon Combat Overhaul and Combat Evolved. I notice they've both had significant updates since I last tried them out, does anyone use them regularly now? I've always liked the ideas behind the mods, but the versions I used were just insanely buggy or game breaking.

If I use ASIS with the improved INIs, I won't have to explicitly add SPERG as an exception, right? That's already included? I ask because all these INIs are awfully confusing and I'm not sure where I'd even have to add it.

I played with an old version of it about a year ago and the changes it made to dragons were baffling more than anything. I never felt like it was working right, most of the difficulty came from them randomly using "gently caress you" limit breaks that were unavoidably deadly as far as I could tell. I don't know, maybe the newer version is better.

I started using Climates of Tamriel and I think it's causing me to infinitely load on transitions to exterior cells. I have no idea what the cause is but it happened to a game I had that was in-progress when I added the mod, and it's now happened to a new game (I successfully transitioned to exterior cells a bunch of times in Winterhold and Whiterun, but now can't transition from inside Fellglow keep to outside). Has anyone heard of this before? e: Well, poo poo, whatever the problem really was, using the 'Safety Load' mod from the Nexus fixed it for me.

I think I got my set up mostly stable, but a few more questions. 1. Is snow supposed to look like this?  2. This looks like mismatched textures, but I haven't installed any texture mods (as far as I know). How do I narrow down the problem?

1.  I have DSR, XPMS, and have generated a FNIS output and DSR patch. What would cause the shield surfing instead of having it show on my back (or wherever vanilla is supposed to put it). 2. I'm also getting this odd lighting bug when I'm standing or looking at a particular place (notice the straight lines)   I have ELFX, and some other lighting mods (e.g. CoT) but none which affect interior cell lighting as far as I know. I don't want to spam the thread so let me know if I should post my mod/load order.

What would cause the shield surfing instead of having it show on my back (or wherever vanilla is supposed to put it). If it happens with all shields you either didn't install custom skeletons that support DSR, or frelled up installing them. So either get some custom skeletons that support DSR, or if you did instal skeletons: Check to see if the skeletons you installed support DSR and/or you aren't overriding them in your installation with other skeletons.

But to answer your question: DSR's shield-on-back & offhand-sheath require nodes on the skeleton that tell the game where those items should be positioned on the body. If the skeleton doesn't have those nodes, the game throws it's hands in the air and dumps the items at the character's feet. So you need custom skeletons that have nodes to support DSR's shield-on-back & offhand-sheath. Raygereio fucked around with this message at 10:31 on Jan 19, 2015 |

I would love to be wrong, and have someone more knowledgeable post the correct sequence for all known SkyProccers out there.

Raygereio posted:Read Duel Sheath Redux' readme and/or description page. In particular the Requirements & Frequently Asked Questions bits. Alright, thanks a bunch for your help. It took a lot of reading the tea leaves but I think I figured it out. I need to look through the 284 files on the custom skeleton replacers page and find the appropriate combination. Since I'm using DSR, Realistic Ragdoll, and Belt-Quivers, Pack 67 is the way to go. Even though I don't have BBP installed, the author said that's cool. And because the skeleton replacer is from 2013, should I feel comfortable translating any mention of DSpSoB to just mean Dual Sheath Redux? Also, should I worry about this:

Sorry for the double post. Running LOOT after I make a merged patch pushes it up all way above many other mods. I'm assuming because it actually moved it, LOOT recognizes what a TES5Edit merged patch is. Should I leave it alone where it is?

No, Merged and Bashed Patches always go at the end of a load order. The only other esp files that are loaded after them are dynamic patch files. My guess is that the mods that were pushed below it aren't in the general LOOT database. BOSS had the same issue.

Use Edit Metadata in Loot to set your merged patch's priority to something like +100000. Set any dynamic patches accordingly. (+100100, +100200, etc.)

Fina posted:I'll have to look into that one, thanks. Another question then: In New Vegas I had a mod called Signature Weapons that allowed you to gain perks and buffs for a weapon (and armor IIRC) as you continued to use it. It was maybe a little overpowered but it allowed you to stick with one weapon through the game. I suppose it was more important in NV because each gun differed more than each melee weapon in Skyrim does, but I haven't found anything that quite matches this idea for Skyrim. I have a port of this nearing the final polish stages but have slacked hard on it for the last few months. If you want to test it I think the latest version is here. I'm pretty sure that has some debug menu option still in that will weird stuff. If anyone uses this I would really love feedback about it.

Well turning Immersive Creatures difficulty up to Expert and performing a cell reset certainly livened up the difficulty some.

Hrm. Through repeated updating and uninstalls, I seem to have rendered Equipping Overhaul completely inert and ineffectual. No amount of unattached script deleting and stopquest/startquest as directed by the readme will make it work. It also never did dual sheathing right, despite adding the DSR mesh folder as requested. After hitting the MCM menu's uninstall, stopping quests manually, and cleaning unattached script instances, what would possibly be left over?

Played around with the newer one a bit earlier, good stuff and pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. I have encountered some issues though, I'll post them here but if there is somewhere else you'd rather me send this just let me know. - Making a weapon my signature prevents me from upgrading it. If the weapon is already upgraded it will keep the suffix and damage increase. If the weapon wasn't already upgraded you can't upgrade it at all. - It seemed oddly picky about which weapon it'd take if you have similar weapons in your inventory. If I wielded a legendary iron dagger and I had a simple iron dagger in my inventory, attempting to make my wielded legendary weapon my signature would cause the mod to grab the basic dagger in my inventory and make that my signature instead. Dropping the extra dagger from my inventory allowed me to get around this. - I ran into what appears to be some compatibility issues with the JaySuS Swords mod. Making a JS weapon my signature would do odd things to the damage numbers. My 91 damage sword that I intended to make my signature dropped down to 75 damage, two different 85 damage swords I tried were reduced to 69 damage each, in one case making a JS sword my signature caused the base damage to increase by 1. I couldn't reproduce this issue on any vanilla weapons. In regards to those issues, this mod was loaded at the end of the load and aside from the unofficial patches the only things I have installed that may cause issues is SPERG and JSwords Past those issues these are a few suggestions: - Maybe change the name from Dovahkiin's Signature X to (Player Name)'s Signature X. Past that though I'd suggest just allowing you to name it like you would an enchanted item. I saw an option for custom names but it said "See Readme" and there was no included readme file. - A notification when your weapon has earned an upgrade would be nice. - Some nice buffs would be: Increase damage blocked, Increase bash damage, Reduce bash stamina, Weapon can be improved +X% more, Applied poisons last longer, Enchantments use less charge per hit.

I have encountered some issues though, I'll post them here but if there is somewhere else you'd rather me send this just let me know. Thanks for the feedback. This kind of response is really helpful. - I actually have a fix for tempering but it is remarkably tricky to do. I did the proof of concept mod but I guess I didn't add it to the actual mod yet. - Its basically impossible to choose one item over another that's in the player's inventory (or anyone else's or a container). If you know any mod that does that correctly let me know otherwise it will probably have to be a non-fixable issue. - I'll check out JSwords. There are a few versions floating around could you link me the specific one? Good suggestions. Some off the cuff thoughts. - A very smart modder recently made an awesome tool to do text input without being janky rear end poo poo like everything else. I just need to pack it into Signature Weapons. Right now there is a console command to do it but I don't remember offhand. - A notification shouldn't be too hard. - Block: When blocking with the weapon or when using a shield with your weapon? The second would be easy to do, the first would be trickier. Just wondering what you think fits. - Bash damage seems to be based on base damage for a weapon which is what increases when you increase damage. - Bash stamina: I'll look into this. Again when bashing with the weapon or shield bashing while using the weapon? - More tempering should be easy. - I think SKSE just added functions to mess with applied poison, I'll take a look. - Enchantment charge cost is based on your skill with that school. I'm not sure its possible to reduce it without it being a global effect on that school. Sadly the On Weapon Hit entry is bugged so only one will work and vanilla already have several perks using it. I could probably make it refund some of the charges afterwards. Not quite the same thing but close. I'm not sure when I'll get a new version done but I'll post here again when I do.

LtSmash posted:- I'll check out JSwords. There are a few versions floating around could you link me the specific one? I'm using Jaysus V13C + the 13D patch available at the nexus here. When I was referring to blocking & bashing I meant with just that weapon in your hand. I've been playing a character that doesn't use a shield and just uses a one-handed sword for blocking and bashing, though I imagine it'd be similar to anyone playing with two-handed swords.

LtSmash, even though I haven't played around with Signature Weapon yet, there's on major suggestion/piece of advice I've been meaning to put out there: I think you should quit trying to tie it to a specific instance of a weapon. It seems that 99% of the problems you've mentioned stem from trying to do that. It's simply something Skyrim won't do well. You might just want to make it a specific weapon BaseID. In fact, I think it'd be a cooler idea to take it a little further than that: one of the oblivion mods I use (Basic Primary Needs) identifies certain statics it interacts with by the file path of the mesh. I think that'd be a really neat, flexible way to do it. (For the record, I didn't like how SW in NV tied you to one specific instance of a weapon either.) I know it changes the concept of the mod a bit, but I really think you'd have far less of a headache with it this way, and then you'd have time to implement my ASIS suggestions.
