I like to run Archery Gameplay Overhaul (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/24296) with pretty much most of its settings disabled other than the stamina drain for holding the bow fully drawn. The bleed is a bit funky on the player and felt a bit strong against NPCs. It makes bows feel a lot better with its custom animations (your character keeps an arrow knocked instead of drawing from the quiver when you click to draw the bow) but if mods add bows that really deviate in speed they can have issues syncing up with the new animations. It sets all vanilla bows to be at 1.0 speed for its animations, which is nice in making bows feel way snappier. It also helps solve the problem of higher tier bows doing less DPS because they get slower as they go up in damage for some reason. Evidently Bethesda expected everyone to play sniper with them almost exclusively, and making stronger bows faster does so much heavy lifting in making them feel better to play. There's other mods that change bow speed too. Long N' Short Bows comes to mind, but it makes what it considers as long bows slower in exchange for even higher damage. I'm pretty sure there's also some patchers that'll just make draw speed consistent across all the bows?

Ordinator + AGO + Arrows and Bolts Tweaks makes a bow build a lot more fun. You can use iHud and SkyHud together to turn off the crosshair and move the stealth indicator for more challenge and immersion.

Friends, it is Skyrim season for me once again. I recently bought Cyberpunk 2077 and put it down, disgusted, after 2 hours, because in the year of Our Lord 2020 I was unable to rebind the loving controls in the way I desired, something that presented no problem in 2011 with Skyrim. So I spent about 3 hours today downloading and configuring a new MO2 profile. Some new textures. Some new lighting. Some new weather. Some new followers. VOILA!!! A fun new experience yet again. I fear this must be my last Skyrim character though. I’m trying very hard not to remember everything I already know. To do EVERYTHING with this last Mega-Nord. It’s hard. I’ve played this game so much, and nothing else has yet come close to its pure quality. I NEED Bethesda to come through with ES6. I know they’re gonna gently caress it up, but I must yet hope, because Skyrim, after 9 years, is nearly played out...

Wait, did you get it for PC? Does it not even let you rebind controls on PC?

It lets you rebind most of the controls but, bafflingly, not ALL of the controls. Crucially, if you don't like the default interact key being F you need to do the ini editing.

It’s the same old story. They half-assed it. You can rebind some controls but not all, not even most in this case. You can rebind the left and right arrow keys but not up and down. F? loving forget about it. It’s perma-bound to like 10 actions. The fuckers. I basically had carpal tunnel after 2 hours trying my damnedest to adjust. gently caress that poo poo.

I've never used zedit before but I want to use the Alchemy Effects Randomizer. Should I be using zedit on just the base game five esms, or do I get the entire load order ordered first (I assume this is the case, since it may add more items that need randomization) or like, at what step in the process do I do that? Literally every guide I have found is assuming knowledge I do not have. I get that what it does is ultimately merge things into a plugin that... I then plug into my load order? Should I be merging things and then leaving them out of MO altogether? I am not very smart.

DACK FAYDEN posted:I've never used zedit before but I want to use the Alchemy Effects Randomizer. Yeah. Run it on the main esms, and anything that adds something to alchemy. Or just throw the whole load order in. It won't use anything it doesn't need, so there's no harm in putting more in it. It just spits out an esl in your overwrite folder, but I put it in a proper modorganizer folder, loaded last.

Yeah, running through MO worked. Still can't figure out windowed mode (something's gotta be overriding the enb settings in the Skyrim base folder - should I download OneTweak again or is that so 2013?) and also can't figure out why zedit fails when I try to run the alchemy randomizer (something in CACO is giving it a null reference it seems):

That's strange. I run CACO with my alchemy randomizer. I don't know if you're comfortable with it, but can you run ZEdit, load everything, go to your CACO esp entry, go to ingredients, and find 01CCA118? It should be Flax Seeds. On the right side, navigate to effects. It should have Feather, Block, Lingering Damage, and Magicka. Are any of your empty or otherwise remarkable? Is windowed mode being set by some ini or something?

I certainly can, but first I got smart and decided to run it again and sure enough, there isn't anything special about Flax Seeds: ...which is actually worse and not better. But work with me here. The only commonality is setting to 0. Is there not an effect with index 0? Is that something that should be excluded automatically? I mean it's hard to believe nobody else caught that, I might try just redownloading, but jeez. e: redownload/reinstall in zedit did not fix. edit: oh, and do I actually care about dyndolod? I'm trying out Open Cities and the alleged incompatibility between the two requiring like four steps to work around sounds like a pain in the rear end e3: editing the ENB ini did not fix my constant non-borderless windowed mode, because it kept resetting itself, but installing https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/34705?tab=description did DACK FAYDEN fucked around with this message at 18:45 on Dec 12, 2020 |

Are you using more than 254 plugins? It will throw an error if you load more than 254 at a time. Just load the ones required for the alchemy patch.

DACK FAYDEN posted:211. I was actually sure to stay under the limit! (Kidding. I just ran outta stuff. Plus, why would it be that error then?) 256 is the most numbers you can have in 2 digit hex, so it fucks up a lot of things when you go higher. I'm sure the real reason is more complicated, but if going over 255 is a problem for anything it almost certainly has to do with hex numbers.

DACK FAYDEN posted:I knew. (also the first one is indexed zero and I believe the magic number is actually hitting, not surpassing, 255) The Eldersouls wabbajack is broken right now because one of the mods in it is hidden. Though if you have the earlier version already installed you're fine.

How can I investigate an item? I want to either know what mod its components "came" from or at least what those components are: (it's one of the pieces of gear added by the alternate start that pops you in High Hrothgar with a bunch of complete posted a few pages ago, so I suspect it's just hardcoding using vanilla crap and that stuff's changed by caco, but we'll see) I tried google but it's literally impossible to google |C| and have any meaningful results returned, you have to escape out the pipe characters so it isn't a regex and then you get everything with C and so on

You could try installing More Informative Console and dropping the item on the floor. Then you'll be able to click on it and glean some information about which mods have been messing with it.

But if the issue is the |C| I suspect that's probably from another sorting, as that would be the last mod to touch its name.

I really like the idea of the Mysticism spell mod, but the knowledge that NPCs won't be able to use the new spells irks me. Are there any easy ways to add new spells to NPCs without having to manually edit a thousand entries in the CK?

Probably not easily. There's an article in the Apocalypse spells mod faq that goes into how to do this I think.

I looked briefly at ASIS; it looks to me as if it just automatically dumps all available spells onto NPCs, regardless of type. I'm out of luck, aren't I?

Lker posted:Yeah, that seems to be a vanilla item not added in by any mods. It could've been placed somewhere as part of a mod, but the item is wholly vanilla and exists in the base game. The "|a|" or "|c|" in the name part is added as part of Another Sorting Mod so that the items will always be shown in Helm>Armor>Gloves>Boots order in the inventory screen. (thanks  )

Can new ASIS create large groups of mobs? I used to to love running into a couple dozen bandits in Oldrim.
