starfield-mods

[hoary lava]

Sounds like about the same, how's it coming along? I haven't dug too much into quests, and I know nothing about papyrus.

[torpid badger]

i know nothing myself, just started this afternoon looking into it

[hoary lava]

The best way to learn, trial by fire.

[torpid badger]

thats the idea

my previous idea didnt work using attachemtns, so trying theis way instead

[lime ember]

I’m glad I can get Nexus mods on Gamepass but I really want that Star Wars modlist off of Wabbajack. I’m just not paying for this game at full price

[hoary lava]

Why not just buy the Star-Wars game?

[lime ember]

I don’t want to keep buying stuff lol. I need to make life more difficult by modding it into a game

[hoary lava]

Haha, fair enough.

[lime ember]

So Nexus mods are able to work on the gamepass version but do Nexus collections work or will I run into issues when Script extender becomes required

[hoary lava]

I believe they still work, just need to redirect, or hand place them in correct directory. I see no difference other than location.

I cannot comment on SSE though. I do not use.

[lime ember]

Okay. I downloaded a collection and none of the mods were recognized by the game. Will try again tomorrow as I believe I have fixed the issue. This is why I get my BGS games on steam. I just didn’t want to buy this one

[hoary lava]

Yeah, you'll need to redirect to xbox folder as opposed to steamapps.

[little hare]

AFAIK, SFSE does not work on the xbox/gamepass version of the game. You may want to check for alternative mods using Ultimate ASI Loader instead but they'll be pretty rare. Mods that don't use SFSE should work.

[lime ember]

I saw the ASI Loader on vortex when I added Starfield. I didn’t know what that was. That’s why modding sucks when it’s not on steam.

[little hare]

tbh I prefer ASI Loader even with the Steam version. Script Extender for any BGS game will often break your game when there's an update. ASI Loader will keep on trucking.

[lime ember]

Found a collection on nexus called Starfield Gamepass Ultra Immersion but it hasn’t been updated in almost 2 years.

[little hare]

It's normal. Before SFSE and even the CK was a thing ASI Loader was the only way to get complex mods out. Once SFSE the community just devolved into the same BGS habits as other games.

[lime ember]

What I’ve learned with modding is that having a curated modlist makes the game feel newer than just adding standalone mods. That’s normally why I abandon MS Store for steam. Just got to wait this this game is heavily discounted again

[calm brook]

nope, nothing yet. I'll let you know if ever figure it out or get an answer. you let me know as well

[torpid badger]

indeed

[worldly furnace]

if you CTD while loading a plugin in the Creation Kit, disable internet. Can't believe this works but it does. Hopefully Bethesda will fix it soon

[mortal tundra]

In case you didn't know the vcruntime achievement enabler has an ASI loader built in -- one less thing to run/update 🙂

At this point I only run better console and fttu as ASI mods, but def love em both 🙂

[mortal tundra]

This is correct, SFSE can't work on either one

[mortal tundra]

You will indeed run into problems with any mod requiring SFSE, they won't work on gamepass without a lot of heartache -- I've done it, but there were massive hoops to jump through that all died on the next update to SF

[lime ember]

Yeah. After using mod lists for other games, I just don’t like downloading standalone mods that don’t compliment one another. I’ll probably just have to wait for the game to be discounted on steam and get it then. We do need more experiences like the Doom one though. That was fun

[dapper galleon]

Would a yone here be able to make this type of spacesuit

[little hare]

Subzero suit? You'd die of solar radiation in no time.

[sleek cliff]

I’m still waiting on a cowboy hat that doesn’t have a dumbass headpiece on it 👀

[sharp lynx]

Lol

[dapper galleon]

[clear bluff]

Any cheat mods that let you build legendaries?

[torpid badger]

Ive come accross this, am having a read but i believe its what you are after?https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/articles/9710

[west flare]

When will we ever have info on making custom weapon sounds for Starfield? Custom, standalone, non-replacing weapon sounds for Starfield?

[calm brook]

thank you, this is the closest to what I'm trying to do. It's a for skyrim but should be good for starfield. I will definitely use this and test it tomorrow. I appreciate you taking the time to post this.

[torpid badger]

no worries 🙂

yes for skyrim, but they both use CK so its basically the same

im about to try it myself

[rustic bronze]

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/13193 very interesting discussion in the mod page

[torpid badger]

another way ive was just told is to try this way

Just set it to start on game start but in conditions, make it require stage xx from M101 to be complete
it will hang around and wait for M101 stage of choice to be finished
priority, < 50 but say 35-45

[calm brook]

I tried this but with a higher priority and did not work for me. I will try this with a lower priority as well. I'll keep you posted on what works. thanks again my friend.

[sharp lynx]

[dapper galleon]

I think they darkstar Ones do.

Honestly I have such a Mix salad of mods now that I don't remember which one really do what but I can basically limited build legendary weapons at a work ench and gice then whatver trait I wamt

[torpid badger]

some more info that may help

Also be aware if you set any aliases, they can halt the mission starting, you can check the ignore alias fail box on the first tab, just be mindful of that stuff
Also, be sure to set first Objective and check "start on game start" for the objective itself
doesnt have to say anything.. can be stage 0 no log, but start game checked

[sharp lynx]

Whelp

@sleek cliff

I did a thing

[torpid badger]

does any one know how to resolve this issue?

[cold slate]

Darkstar Manufacturing does. It pairs well with Legendary Recycler.

[sharp lynx]

Are you putting a custom fragment there

[sleek cliff]

What thing did you do, Tank?

[sharp lynx]

I finally caved and did the thing people instantly mention when I show screenshots

[torpid badger]

no, that is a vanilla script, its appearing on all scripts and stages, including a custome one

[sharp lynx]

I added a new restaurant with my mod

[sleek cliff]

WOAH! Seriously? Nice!

Did you give it a name?

Now THAT is some Hifalutin Dining, literally! Sensational Work, Tank.

[west flare]

Has there ever been a standalone planet mod that completely adds a new planet and system?

[sharp lynx]

Hmmm what are you trying to do

[sleek cliff]

Kay of Kay’s Diner punching the air RN

[sharp lynx]

Gotta do it the tank way lol I can just "Add a restaurant'

[torpid badger]

trying to make my own script

i went looking at the vanilla ones to get some ideas on how to do this and noticed that on them

[west flare]

Dexter's Diner.

[sleek cliff]

Not even President Abello can get a seat in there.

Does it have a name? Like Flux or just TG’s?

[sharp lynx]

You have to wait and see

[sour steppe]

TG's Take Out? 👀

[sleek cliff]

The anticipation will be WORTH it.

I don’t know why, but imagine all sorts of faction leaders and important figures dining in there, Like Bayu, Genevieve, Naeva, Ikande, Ron Hope

[sour steppe]

And it remaining a neutral ground

[sleek cliff]

TG’s is neutral ground, and no hostile actions can take place on its premises.

Like the continental from John Wick.

And she managed to Spring for Starborn Guards

[sharp lynx]

LOL

[edgy plover]

I agree

[sharp lynx]

🇵🇭 ❤️

[sour steppe]

I could go for that Lumpia plate right about now 😋

[sharp lynx]

Fr!

[sharp lynx]

It might require compiling

I'd guide you through that but I'm currently away from my pc

[torpid badger]

all g 🙂

[calm brook]

my vanilla scripts are like that as well, however if I make a new quest it's just blank instead of failure to load, and it allows me to write. From what I gathered there is supposed to be a scripts folder under the data folder with all the vanilla scripts but it's not there for me

[torpid badger]

Do you have the scripts from Starfield\Tools\ContentResources.zip extracted?
Need to extract contents to Data folder (Data\Scripts)
same with materials etc.. in that zip

[calm brook]

wow, I just did this and it's like putting glasses on for the first time XD. I was not planning to get heavy into scripting, but like you, wanted to see if there was something in the papyrus fragments from other quests I could replicate to get my quest going, now I can go digging 🙂

[torpid badger]

excellent, ill be doing the same myself soon when i finish work 🙂

[sharp lynx]

Well done

[jolly torrent]

Speaking of restaurants, would it be against the modding TOS to turn Chucks into McDonald’s? I need this in my game so bad. Lol

[sharp lynx]

You cannot do that

You could make a parody of McDonald's tho

[strong oak]

McDonalds is heavily copyrighted. But if you made one in another location It should be okay. Like TG says modify it though. Chuncks is used by other mods so that is questionable anyways.

Concenring McDonalds: ONLY for reference:
Infringement
Using McDonald's trademarks without permission could infringe on their trademark or copyright rights

A Dune mod and Batman mod was removed (boo hoo they were nice)

[jolly torrent]

My bad. McDowell’s instead of McDonald’s

Please forgive me.

[sour steppe]

https://tenor.com/view/coming-to-america-eddie-murphy-randy-watson-smile-smiling-gif-7686537588788980301

[strong oak]

You don't have to worry about us players. LOL

[jolly torrent]

If someone could mod in McDowell’s to replace Chunks, I’d be forever grateful.

[strong oak]

OH LOL Just read that McDonalds sued McDowell's - they did not know it was a fictional restaurant being filmed in sight of a real McDonalds. 🍻

and ooh there is a company that has McDowell's as a brand: comprising three categories – whisky, brandy and rum (under the name McDowell's No. 1 Celebration) I am okay with spirits. Just don't drink and drive from the place.

[junior cargo]

i had an idea for something that could be interesting, but wonder if it's worth doing, if anyone but myself would even use it: quarter, half, and full circle habs, including custom diagonal doors, with diagonal versions of habs that connect to those, and also corridor habs that curve to then connect back to the regular habs as well

the circle habs would just be corridors probably though

the exteriors would be custom, along with normal habs, and I'd also try to make versions of curved and diagonal habs that use edited vanilla exteriors, and possibly even asking other mod authors if i could make versions using their exterior style as well to allow for matching hab styles

[woeful gazelle]

Tried out the new Ecliptic Tactical Spacesuits. They’re cool but I’m disappointed that the mod alters existing spacesuits unrelated to ecliptic

[jolly torrent]

Lol. Wait….what?!! Lol

[woeful gazelle]

I was hoping the new suits were actually separate and new suits rather than edits of existing suits

[junior cargo]

oooo

[dapper galleon]

Hey did the falkland Ship han remove some parts I swear I had more Hab options before

[strong oak]

No they are there. Its like the DerreTech mod parts. Where if you are not attaching to an appropriate location the parts do not show. If you know what you are looking for. I sometime plop a hab out and test all sides - looking for the part to suddenly show. example - a rear wing will show display in the list - if you are trying to get it on a front facing location won't show.

[dapper galleon]

I was talking mkre about the actual ship havs showing up in the menu, i think I have to go to the Ship hab seller directly.

[strong oak]

Falkland only shows at the NA showroom. Its may possibly change in the future. Once you have the parts you can go to other shipbuilder locations and play around.

[dapper galleon]

A few of the ha s show up in my Darkstar ship builder,

[strong oak]

Yes that tends to pull things from other locations.

[dapper galleon]

But hopefully they all are available in all locations eventually,

Im.nkt a very huge fan of bouncing from spot tonspot just to build a ship.

Honestly the gane is kinda starting to lose a but of my interest again.

But I gice jtna try from time to time.

[strong oak]

Understood. I play ESO. when not doing SF. Most everyone have other games they play with.

[dapper galleon]

Im just waiting for MH wilds to come out, it's also thr reason I changed my GT and even my Discord name. Granted I had someone mix me up with someone else who was/ is in this discord as well. I guess pir Names were very Similar lol.

[strong oak]

You can only try to come up with a unique name. Its not easy.

[dapper galleon]

Mines sort of a Mix of Targayrean names kinda blended into 1.

I guess there was some other person who had a Simialr Targaryean themed name as Well.

But I tried out the new ship habs and Stuff But I lost interest halfway through that build.

i.wemt with the jjsy drop i to a random Putpost base and blast everyone..

They didn't seem to like that very much

[strong oak]

Several companions do not like blasting enemies until they are hit first, then they are usually okay. Vasco is neutral on that feature.

Anyone know if Outrora is in this server? I gotta report a bug with their mod

I don’t think Bethnet has comments so I can’t contact through there

And the mod I have a bug with isn’t on Nexus

[sharp lynx]

well done

[autumn idol]

thanks took a week since I was paranoid of accidently deleteing topic infos🤣

[sharp lynx]

It's like spending hours making a model only to realise you've accidentally deleted 3 nodes on the bottom of the foot somehow

[little hare]

Be honest, do we really need those 3 nodes?

[sharp lynx]

Reddit will notice

[sleek cliff]

Reddit ALWAYS notices.

[glad ibex]

So learned how to make an op weapon I guess lol.

Everytime you shoot it it temporary freezes game for 1 second and kill off the entire town of akila

[little hare]

Do you have to BE in Akila for that to happen though?

[glad ibex]

Nah. I just placed the weapon there

[little hare]

trying to make a joke that if you have to BE in Akila to kill everyone in Akila it's not OP; but failing horribly

[glad ibex]

Sorry. I'm pretty known for a joke ruiner cuz I can't tell tones online

[little hare]

Don't apologise, there's a reason comedy isn't my day job

[glad ibex]

I see

[jolly torrent]

@autumn idol Good lookin out on that framework mod, Legends.

[torpid badger]

im looking at ideas for my weapon mod

in regards to getting it, for emersion/playable reasons, im changing it from a craftable option to a quest reward.

do i:

1. make it a quest reward at the end of "one small step"

2. have them available in my own little quest to be available in the players room or safe in the players room in the lodge

3. put them in the universe and make them a little side quest?

each way i need to work out how to do 🙂

[solid meadow]

@torpid badger I like things being a side quest.

[mystic fox]

I for one love integration into the games worldspace through the levelled list. I know some authors do both levelled list integration and a short quest.

[sharp lynx]

[glad urchin]

ngl I'd pay a 100 credits for an achievement friendly version of this qol mod because jeezus christ i hate that brown filter on Akila

[glad urchin]

@gritty heron

[worldly furnace]

it's too much, I actually like the luts in Starfield, but Akila's one was overdone

[glad urchin]

💯

[languid fable]

Someone downvoted your reply to me on Reddit. Reddit being Reddit I suppose.

I missed that you were looking for an achievement friendly version though.

[glad urchin]

Yeah ik youngneil is probably my best bet rn

[sharp lynx]

people like things on reddit

[sleek cliff]

Legend had it, anytime someone mentions Reddit, someone on there gets banned for posting memes in general chat.

[sharp lynx]

wanna see something cool

@sour steppe Sorry for the ping but it says you're online I'll show you too lol

[sleek cliff]

Hell yes.

[sharp lynx]

whelp the argonian is going to wake up to a random ping now lol

[sleek cliff]

Okay, yeah, but that was pretty cool, I’m absolutely digging the elevator

[sharp lynx]

there will be a map marker

I can guarantee the average redditer would have an absolute stroke if they're forced to take that more than 0 times

[sleek cliff]

Oh, absolutely, they probably plan out their Starfield time for mining resources and using the other monitors for Starfield/GTA 6 updates

[sharp lynx]

or just jump on and shoot people and complain about how it breaks quests

[sleek cliff]

And don’t forget about how it “messes with their FPS”

[sharp lynx]

maybe install a couple hundred mods at once then complain it bricked their save

[sleek cliff]

HUNDRED, that’s rookie numbers, they probably have mods from less…. Respectable sites installed

[sharp lynx]

I live a simple farmer life in gas station at the edge of Archimedes

[sleek cliff]

Ah, a fellow simple lifer, I live on Huygens in the ass end of nowhere building my gun collection.

I built a nice house there and a garage thanks to a certain mod from a certain modder.

[sharp lynx]

Good goooood

I wanna make more bonkers homes

[sleek cliff]

Anything particular you’ve thought of?

Like the shed houses from fallout? Doc Mitchell’s house? SKYRIM houses?

[sharp lynx]

I already made skyrim houses

[sleek cliff]

Oh yeah, your first house pack, I use those trees with the lights at my outpost.

[sharp lynx]

I'd totally make an outpost deco mod but too many people have done that

[sleek cliff]

That’s fair, what about a Vault House?

Complete with a Vault Boy Bobble Head that starts the quest

[glad ibex]

#starfield-starboard message

This could be doable via making a bunch of space surface maps generate each time player leaves ship and make it rng random just stars and have zero gravity and then random asteroids appear on surface map.

Dunno about the tether though
Also probably wouldn't be able to dete the maker anymore like a landing marker though

BY GOD, this looks amazing.

[glad ibex]

#whomever created More Power Capacity for reactors. Do you think you could get verifies and make an achievement friendly version to power up our ships reactors, weapons, engines and etc.

Or if anyone is. Even if we have to use a new perk and skill points.

I'm wanting to make my bird soar like an cheetah in the sky.

[safe sorrel]

Is it the moon with the cherry blossoms?

[hoary lava]

@sharp lynx !!!

[sleek cliff]

Sounds like SOMEONE is stoked about a vault house.

[hoary lava]

I love all things fallout. Lol.

And, TG is the one who could pull this stuff off.

[sleek cliff]

You know what would be sick? A Vault 21 Motel.

[sleek cliff]

And true, she’s BASED enough to make it epic

[hoary lava]

I know she's done some stuff fallout that personally I thought was awesome.

[sleek cliff]

Oh, I’ve seen, I use her 2nd house pack and have a red Rocket on Dazra

[little hare]

anyone else having problems with Nexus' captcha or is it just me?

[glad urchin]

@gritty heron

[sharp lynx]

I'd recommend DMing the guy if you're gonna ping him every day lol

[sleek cliff]

Tank, Serious question, How do you feel about NV?

[sharp lynx]

I mean that's what I use to mod pretty heavily

[sleek cliff]

So exceptionally well, How do you feel about Vault 21 Motel?

And the NCR?

[sharp lynx]

The best part about fnv lore is every choice is the worst choice lol

[sleek cliff]

That’s accurate

[sharp lynx]

They're all bad lol

[sleek cliff]

however, I could respect House

[sharp lynx]

But hey, you don't come back from the end of the world better

[sleek cliff]

Hell, they’re doing better than the east coast

FO3 was distilled depression

[sharp lynx]

House is literally the legions mirror, just without the edgy derp

[sleek cliff]

True, but he’s got an immaculate mustache.

And tried to at least save Vegas.

Because if anything is needed in the post apocalypse, it’s gambling.

Also, you know, the ranger outfit slaps ridiculously hard.

[sharp lynx]

🫘

Beans

[sleek cliff]

🫘

Man, I could use some Frijoles in Starfield

Hey, maybe that’s why Sarah complains all the time, she doesn’t have any beans to eat.

Everyone know BEANS are an important part of an Englishwoman’s diet.

[sleek cliff]

Sarah needs her beans!

It’s why she nags so much, there’s no Coronation Street and no beans!

[warm bolt]

Question..lots of older mods were released as full masters, as the earlier soft limits made it not matter. Now that the soft limit is gone, is there a way for users to resize a small mod that was released as a 'full' to light/medium' to avoid true small things eating up one of the ~250 'full' slots? Or maybe combining (grouping) several into 1 so it counts as just 1? Noob on modding and on using mods so please be kind.

[fluid carbon]

If your using a new save, you may have better luck, but ya their is a process of changing an ESM back to an ESP then saving as a light master or merge exc. https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/10189?tab=description

[hexed yarrow]

Converting back into an esp is greatly appreciated, if that tool is as useful as I think, S tier. I had to make my main mod an esm due to weird dirty edits and terrain bugs that just kinda show up if you make large mods for Starfield.

Related just been informed a minute ago by Ravageron, after a mod-breaking bug, how to hex edit to turn esp into esm master without CK, maybe this plugin bridge can also be a backup option for that problem too.

[hollow star]

https://tenor.com/view/captain-rex-gif-18538434

[hollow star]

ah thank you

[glad ibex]

@surreal storm love your pocket dimension mod.

Was wondering if you ever thought about making a fun quest to open the shrouded veil in your pocket dimension to go to other dimensions that have slight differences and make it fun, like exploring for a new ship that has an infinite storage crate on it and other things that could be fun. Like a pocket dimension sized Habs and stuff to make things tinier. I'd probably buy that mod as fast as I could.

Just curious if you thought about it. You made the dimension so cool looking and it makes me want to explore it more

[sleek cliff]

So, can anyone here make NCR ranger armor for Starfield?

[sharp lynx]

[sleek cliff]

I’m just saying, Tank, Waiting for NCR Ranger Armor makes me wish for a nuclear winter.

how is the outpost venera mod coming along?

I’m hoping someone can mod this baby into the game as background machinery lol

Also, hear me out.

[jolly torrent]

Lol.

I’m also curious to know if there are any decent UI changing mods on console? Something to give the UI a bit of a flair or a distinctive look?

[sharp lynx]

Better yet why not just make that completely lol

[jolly torrent]

Well, I didn’t expect anyone to make it with any animation considering the animation tools aren’t out yet. I have to level my expectations. Lol

[pastel sentinel]

wow. Fur textures are hard

[jolly torrent]

Creating a “Tribbles” infestation mod? That would be awesome as well. Lol

[sharp lynx]

Hair cards pretty much but the opacity system and transparency is so wonky now

[torpid badger]

does anyone have any recommended youtubers to watch in regards to creating scripts?

have looked aty some but havnt resonated with any yet

[upbeat furnace]

Kinggath has a series for Fallout 4 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2g2oK5KhZT0WUOw0Y_8HFudZbgfmcdEl Its not Starfield but much of it is similar enough.

At least 5 videos on scripting there

https://www.youtube.com/@Darkfox127

[torpid badger]

awesome, ty

[sinful jay]

Is there a mod to get rig of the enemy name tag over there heads? Or at lest to make it less in your face?

[hollow star]

So the mod author of earth restored has figured out why the no audio bug happens on xbox, this is what they said. Yes, i updated it a while ago, the bug is fixed on my end. If you still receive the audio bug its because you must be using another mod that hasnt been updated that still has the audio bug. It was a old bug in the files of bethesda mods a while back and they fixed it after a cetain patch, but u had to reupload the files, so people who never updated their mods could still contain the bug. Hope this helps for future reference.

[sleek cliff]

Well, Time to head back into NV.

[jolly torrent]

I guess now it’s safe to download “Earth Restored”? Lol

[hollow star]

from what i've tested with earth restored on the audio is fine, But i disable all of my mods when im done playing then when i go one again i re enable them just to be safe

[jolly torrent]

Oh wow. I have a ton of mods, so I mean, disabling them will be a huge task when quitting. Lol. Where exactly does “Earth Restored” go in your load order?

[hollow star]

just anywhere and oh if your on xbox when you go into your mods just push y and then the start button there's an option to disable all mods ill show you

@jolly torrent

[jolly torrent]

Lol. I didn’t even know that existed lol.

[hollow star]

same until yesterday lol

[jolly torrent]

Lol

[slim sun]

So it looks like Bethesda has maybe changed how OnQuestInit() fires in scripts running from quests with "start game enabled" and with run once unselected. This used to trigger on every game start, I know because did quite a bit of testing back in July. It now only seems to trigger once, and won't re-fire again after on that save.

So you can no longer use this to check something at every game start.

[maiden hemlock]

If you're trying to check something when loading a save then you can use a different event: OnPlayerLoadGame() in the Actor script.

[warm helm]

Hey guys, quick question, is the Astrogate mod for Xbox deleted?

[heady lily]

Maconnel’s! Groat burgers and sweezy fries coming up! Who ever makes parody mod of McSickness gets my money for sure. Especially with some form of quest and maybe a follower and whatever else. Right now I’ve been having fun with the NGPM mods and Chunks 😂😂

[sharp lynx]

Soonish I'm about to publish one of the largest food mods yet

[azure wren]

Looking forward to it!

[sleek cliff]

👀

[sharp lynx]

❤️

[slim sun]

That seems to trigger when loading a save after you're already in-game, but not on game start. I saw someone else mention on the Starfield Modding discord "by the time your script has registered for the OnPlayerLoadGame event, its already happened, so you wont get the debug message on the first load after enabling the mod, youd need to activate the mod, load the game, save, exit, then load again to get the event to fire."

[maiden hemlock]

Correct. It doesn't trigger on new games. But it doesn't need to, either, as there is already the init event for new saves. If you want to run the exact same code for both just make a custom function and call it in both places.

[slim sun]

But it does mean there are now times when neither will fire, i.e. the quest has already run before, and the player is loading into the game fresh.

[sleek cliff]

[maiden hemlock]

No, that's not how it works.

If you are starting a new save, the code linked to the init event runs. If loading an existing save, the player load event runs instead.

You can make a custom function then call it both in the init event and also in the player load event, ensuring that it will run in either scenario. And for initializations only meant to happen once you can lock code behind a check; once run, you set a variable such as a boolean to act as a flag so that when the function runs again it knows to skip that part.

It's a common setup among Skyrim, FO4, and Starfield mods.

[misty geyser]

That's exactly how the retroactive fix scripts work for the unofficial patches. OnInit() to start them off, OnPlayerLoadGame() to check subsequent game loads afterward.

[slim sun]

This is what I've done. But like I mentioned, OnQuestInit() only fires once now, period. It won't fire again even if run once is unselected.

[maiden hemlock]

You don't need it to run again.

That's why you put the checks you need to run in a separate custom function and then call said custom function in the event function.

[slim sun]

OK, maybe I have another issue going on here then 🤷
I'll keep testing.

[slim sun]

💢 ... it was a script property without a value 😩
lol, well it works now, that's the main thing.
Still, anyone else who was relying on OnQuestInit alone should be aware.

[maiden hemlock]

[sleek cliff]

Y’all ever play FO4 and think, This could use some STARFIELD and vice versa?

[sharp lynx]

I think Garfield for me would be amazing if it had the same outpost system

I just miss scrapping random crap around a location

[sleek cliff]

God, that one FO4 scrap mod was based as hell.

[sharp lynx]

I also would've liked a bit more lore, I know it's new but there's next to nothing on the lore for this game and I mean deep lore. Like cultures between the planets, creatures being a little more iconic stuff like that

Cause you see a rad roach and you know exactly what that is and all about

[sleek cliff]

FINALLY, someone else that doesn’t just chalk it up to “it’s not finished yet” I absolutely would’ve liked more lore about Akila and the Aceles for example.

[sleek cliff]

I hate Rad Roaches with a passion and Bloatflies

Sometimes I’ll be vibing in the most random places, then HELLO +1 rads

[sharp lynx]

I hate the aceles with a passion 🤣

Big stupid rooster lookin a

[sleek cliff]

But thems is cute though.

[sharp lynx]

I did include them in my list but I damn near forgot to do so

So you can have an aceles pet

[sleek cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/wedding-crasher-hro-gif-25636997

Although, I would’ve liked more lore on the Ashta.

[sharp lynx]

We kinda got something with them

People don't realize but .... There's about 200 unique animals in the game

[sleek cliff]

That they’ll annihilate you the moment you walk out of Akila, this is a fact I’ve discovered MULTIPLE times, can’t camp worth a damn on Akila.

Oh, yeah, there’s a ton of different animals, although, I can’t help but wonder, how come lore wise earth had all the normal animals

[sleek cliff]

Actually, there is something I’d like to know, The Well, I’d like more lore on it.

[sharp lynx]

Fr

[sleek cliff]

Like, are there gangs down there?

What’s the political climate like down there? Do they have their own version of Aurora? Is it NA’s version of Dog Town?

[safe sorrel]

Are….are you a microbe person?

There is at least one gang in the Well, the guys you have to fight off for the lady at the Viewport’s quest

Seems like it’s supposed to have a lot of crime, and a lot of oppression from the cops

Would love more on the Well though too, it’s one of my favorite locations

[strong oak]

With all that educational graffiti on the walls of The Well surely some criminal new quest could come out.

[sharp lynx]

Yea a cool NA underground would be interesting

[sleek cliff]

An underground city would’ve been tight, like Cydonia, only less depressing.

Like throwing neon under NA

https://tenor.com/view/night-city-cyberpunk2077-night-city-skyline-chilling-at-scenic-view-watching-city-gif-26943044

Or Night City.

[sleek cliff]

For all the hell i occasionally give BGS games, I can’t help but love the fact the “Main” story in every game is essentially, do it when you want, no rush, like in FO4, I’ve take up residence in the Charlestown condo and I’m onna take my sweet time renovating and doing all the side quests I can, Shaun waited for over 60 years, he can’t wait a couple more

Like, I’m going out for milk and cigs, I’ll be back someday, son.

The point I’m getting at, Live Another Life Starfield version would be TIGHT

[onyx fiber]

Hey can someone help me with a tattoo mod I’m trying to do? I have already edited it but can’t get it to work in game.

[jolly torrent]

I actually liked how depressing Cydonia was. It added some mood to the game, tbh. Well, mood beyond “Saturday Morning Cartoon”.

[jolly torrent]

Tattoos that you can place anywhere on the player character?

[onyx fiber]

I have the .DDS file but I want to add it as a new tattoo without using script extender but don’t know how to do it 😅

[jolly torrent]

@sharp lynx is probably your best bet or can point you in the right direction. $40 bucks for you once you figure it out because I have a request for a tat. Lol

[onyx fiber]

You’re paying $40 for a tattoo? 😱

[jolly torrent]

Tattoo plus certain placement. I’ll DM you the details. If I’m allowed to DM you, of course. Lol

[onyx fiber]

No way bro I think $40 is way too much for something like that, I’m not going to rip someone off 😅 and I’m not confident with making mods enough to take requests bro. Maybe someone here can do it for you though! I don’t know what the hell I’m doing 😂

[jolly torrent]

Once you figure out what to do with the tattoo mod is what I’m saying. What’s the scope of the mod? Just to add tattoos to the player character in pre set locations, right?

[loud stratus]

I’m at a loss with using the Creation Kit. I’m trying to make a mod that changes the location of the base in Back To Vectera from Bessel III to Piazzi I (because the latter has a breathable atmosphere). I opened the quest data and replaced BarrettDungeonPlanetLocation to Piazzi, but even after starting a new game the quest would always send me to Bessel. Can anyone please help me?

[autumn idol]

you did this in the Alias right?

[glad ibex]

Whoever said this weirdly had a dream about this actually. It was an deep underground city with massive waterfalls and big domes and cat people.

The latter doesn't need to be but it was a weird dream lol. And it all started with a new quest to fix an old bugged quest.

I just thought it was funny this was brought up and then I dreamed about jt

[loud stratus]

Correct

[autumn idol]

hmm

mind sharing me the Quest name?

[loud stratus]

Back to Vectera

MQ104B I believe

[autumn idol]

ight

[shy dew]

Yeah, new Vegas always felt a little more restrictive

Since it was pretty linear as you not only had to balance faction reputation with what quest lines you do as well as power balancing keeping you out of areas lol

Fallout 1 kept you going because of the actual timer lol

[sleek cliff]

I’ll tell you what, I’m taking my sweet time, Shaun can wait a couple of years.

I’m out here trying to make a new Shaun, pimp.

[torn sigil]

Is there a way to force clear my libary/bookmarks there's some glitch that's happened that means some mods are permanently there and yes I've checked on the website and cleared my space on xbox

[normal steeple]

Stage II of A Staple Addition is well underway, more soon

[hexed pilot]

Someone knows why this happens? I'm trying to paint a dirt trail but it won't let me paint past a certain point, it's like I can't paint on certain areas. I had to add the texture I am using in the screenshot (LDirtPacked_Gray).

[timid temple]

probably a cell boundary? I haven't done SF terrain stuff, but that seems most likely

[hexed pilot]

It might be, but I don't know why simply changing cells wouldn't fix it, which it didn't sadly :< .

[waxen stirrup]

haven't tried that in SF, but in past games (like Oblivion, Skyrim, etc.) there was a limitation (the way how it was coded in the engine) that you can't have too many different textures blending together, it was like 4 max textures or something like that
so I guess you need to use 1 or 2 textures less in that area for the blending to be correct

[fluid carbon]

I think you can see the texture quadrants By pressing i

[woeful trellis]

I'm trying to export some morph data into a .dat file, but I keep getting this warning.
Does anyone know what it means and how to fix it?

If I import the original model with the original morph data I get the same thing so I guess it doesn’t have anything to do with the new shape keys.

[hexed pilot]

Tried to remove as many textures I could to only have 2, but it didn't work unfortunately. It seems like the places I can paint on have more than 4 textures so it must be something else. Maybe it has something to do with how the texture was added on to the worldspace (I added it and got labeled as "custom" and I put it at the top of the list)?

[fluid carbon]

Hit "I" then right click on a texture in that quadrant list, hit replace.

[autumn idol]

press M for boundary

[hexed pilot]

Thanks! I'll try that, I just searched for the texture list too and saw it was Left Click + I, not just I. I will try it in a minute and see if it works :>

[autumn idol]

actually press B for borders

[hexed pilot]

oh ok then xd, thanks

[hexed pilot]

I tried doing this, but right clicking doesn't show any "replace" option. The inspector just stays blank

I can see the Land Texture use (pressing Ctrl+T) here, but I can't replace or delete anything, it won't let me right click.

Am I cooked?

OK so problem solved, with a slight inconvenience xd. I had to manually remove most of the textures by painting over them, this means that I can have my painted path, at the cost of having to later paint the rest of the details by hand :>

[hollow star]

anyone else having an issue where the glass of the halo helmet dissappears?

[sleek cliff]

What mod are you using?

[torpid badger]

@calm brook hey mate,

did you get your quest to fire?

[jolly torrent]

Would it be difficult to implement meteor showers or ship crashes in the background whilst exploring planets? Nothing super fancy, but enough to know what’s happening?

[jolly torrent]

I’m actually glad we got Aurora Borealis tbh, but I think that was because Shattered Space

[calm brook]

Hey buddy. I can get the quest to auto launch, could not get any sort of condition to work (after a quest, or quest completed, or anything else really). I do not want to make it trigger from item (like video tutorial). Apparently to make it trigger after another quest requires editing the script of the triggering quest. I do not know scripting, and after two weeks of searching and stumbling, I decided that trial and error of writing script that I do not understand could take months.....
TLDR: so no, I gave up, and I am focusing on other mods I am working on for now. Best of luck to you though, if I find something I'll let you know.

[torpid badger]

got further than me!

i couldnt get mine to auto fire

im still trying.

am currently starting from scratch with a new esp and bare minimum to test

[calm brook]

I love to help you get it to autofire, but when I tried to replicate it, line by line, I could not.
If you want I can send you the ESP where it autofires.

[torpid badger]

that would be good, let me have a crack at this fresh esp and see how we go and will let you know tnx

[calm brook]

k I'll send it tomorrow (on other PC), If I forget in a day or two ping me

You can for the latter

[sleek cliff]

You know what kind of gun we need? One that mixes the gore mod and the mini gun, a gun that shoots Sarah Morgans that EXPLODE on impact

[calm brook]

Here it is bro, like I said, I could not replicate it on a new ESP, and could not make it trigger after an event. If you figure it out let me know! (I'm sure it's easy and like 5 minutes for someone that knows scripting, but for me 2+ weeks of stumbling was enough)

[green pumice]

That has got to be the best way to yeet the moody cow

[sinful jay]

Load order. That or conflicts of another mod.

Other then that we are not goign to know.

[plain ember]

I need some help, Hong's ships are not working. The game crashes whenever it tries to load.

[jolly torrent]

https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/d505e7c5-3565-4273-9a38-f55720f5d99d/Ship_Crew_Assignments

Thank you to whomsoever built this and ported it over to the console. This is my dream. I’m thinking sick day from work tomorrow or Thursday

[torpid badger]

awesome, thanks ill check it out!

i dont know scripting myself, but will have a crack

[plain ember]

Can anyone please help me out? I'm honestly unsure what to do here-

[pseudo mesa]

There could be a hundred things going wrong. I don't use Hong's ships, so I couldn't give very specific help personally, but I'd start with looking at any other mods you might be running and your load order.

The Nexus page (here: https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/11503) mentions going to the starfield ships subreddit or the ship distribution discord server for support. Even right there in Nexus comments you'd probably have more luck getting help from others who use the mod.

[autumn idol]

its the creator themself

[silver sorrel]

I have always loved these abandoned ship hangar POI's.

I wish we could have an entire abandoned ship hangar building that we could turn into our outpost.

We could land our ship in the hanger and when it's parked the circle door above it would close shut.

When we go to take off the door would open and our ship would vertically lift off from inside, then when the ship was clear it would take off forward into the sky.

I know with SomethingWicked3's fielded mod, we can place a ship landing computer in one of these to get our ship to land in one and take off.

But still the entire structure with all the rooms and such wouldn't be ours to place anywhere we want or decorate.

Also, the door above would always be open and wouldn't close.

[autumn idol]

its actually possible to do this

[worldly pumice]

I have seen mods that turn the Lair into a player controlled base

So it does look possible

[autumn idol]

you sure you edited this alias?

[worldly pumice]

For the 3DS MAX plugin, does it only work for 3DS MAX 2021?

[autumn idol]

yes its version dependent

[worldly pumice]

Well shoot, that's a problem

I wonder if I can get ahold of the indie version of 3DS MAX 2021

[loud stratus]

No, I edited this alias:

[autumn idol]

no image

[loud stratus]

I'm trying to upload the screenshot, sorry

My upload keeps failing. I edited the alias "BarrrettDungeonPlanetLocation" with a fill type of "Forced: SBessel_PBesselIII (0001b37a)"

I changed that variable to SPiazzi_PPiazzi I, I think the exact file was

[autumn idol]

ohh that

[autumn idol]

you have to remove this and place it on another planet
its forced to be there

[autumn idol]

not using PCM but instead hand placed

[loud stratus]

I think that's more advanced than what I've learned so far with the CK, I can't be sure. I'm very new to the program

[autumn idol]

btw why did you want to move the location of worldspace?

since it looks like it was designed to be on a barren Planet

[loud stratus]

If you look at the POI, it looks to me like it was meant to be put on a planet with a breathable atmosphere. Bessel III is desolate with no oxygen and Piazzi I is a wasteland with air

I might put a request in the Starfield Modding Discord, there's a few people trying to improve immersion of POI's by restricting them to breathable atmospheres and such

[autumn idol]

you have to rework the POI and the quest

you can instead just delete the content that doesn't make sense in non breathable atmosphere

[loud stratus]

Hm, interesting. It's a lot more complicated than I had imagined it to be

This is why I was a liberal arts major, not a computer programmer lol

[autumn idol]

its not ngl

just a simply click the delete key on render UI🤣

thats one of the reasons why I love the CK

doesn't need to be overtly complex like other engines

[loud stratus]

The mod that has been addressing the issue I have is here, but I don't think the mod author has been around for over 8 months

[autumn idol]

ah

[loud stratus]

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/9586?tab=posts

[autumn idol]

oh I remember that mod

ngl I rather make it a level packin instea of downright deletion

that way you can see it on breathable atmosphere and of not there then it will be automatically removed

[loud stratus]

I'm just disappointed that there are so many little details like this that went unnoticed by BGS. Heck, someone had to make a mod to install the mission terminal that is referenced to in The Den

I guess more will be addressed in time

[azure wren]

I mean I think some of the criticism of avowed actually in some ways highlight some of the good things about bethesda's engine that I often take for granted or forget about.

[loud stratus]

Really? I need to take a look into Avowed

I generally give BGS slack because their games have SO MANY moving parts that they can't make things perfect within production schedule. That's what modders are for, after all

Well I won't worry about it for now. Thank you so much for your help DJLegends, nobody else has responded to me

[autumn idol]

that was done lorewise...

people keep trying to repair the Den even though its stated to be a dump

[autumn idol]

avowed has an issue in which nothing is interactive and everything is "dead"

[strong oak]

Anyone know what Item ID this is - or item name? I found this on a table with 10 items. This one did not show on anything I even tried to grab its ID. Nothing. Thanks more curious than anything. To me it looks close to a Sage Stick - but it is a beth item.

[sharp lynx]

@strong oak

oh okay

whelp one moment while I reee boot my ck I guess

[sharp lynx]

just having the ability to pick up and drop and collect junk is literally the primary thing I love so much XD

Wish the Character Creator Extended creation had full colored alien eyes, elf ears and a way to make eyes bigger. Karousatoua is the creator I think.

[junior cargo]

what would be the largest hab size that would still be useful for regular ships? i'm going through the vanilla hab exterior styles and making a 3x3x2 hab for each (except taiyo, i have interesting plans for that exterior style though) and i could turn that into pretty much any sized hab by splitting it into sections

[worldly pumice]

I did a follow up and you can purchase an indie license for 3DS Max an install the 2021 version. It just takes a support request

[mossy warren]

This person is NOT a helldiver

[sinful jay]

A reptile species would be nice. Or anything that is not star wars. Im getting rather tierd of seeing those mods.

[earnest snow]

Hey all, trying to get a mod to work that has in the past. But now is not, is anyone able to use the Ultimate Stealth Ring mod? It installs but the item doesn't appear in game for me. Anyone one else having this problem? Please advise.

[sinful jay]

Conflicts, update mod, load order. 1 of the 3. Or all 3.

isn't modding just a joy

[pseudo mesa]

I'm pretty sure that one needs fresh loading of the Lodge interior. If you've already visited the Lodge in your game, the ring won't spawn.

You'd have to load an earlier save, a new game, or new game plus

[earnest snow]

Can't be conflicts or load order as that is the only mod from a fresh install of the game. And its still not appearing. Tried both old saves and new games, and its still not in game for me, I wanted to see if anyone else is having this issue or try and discover if its the mod that needs updating.

[junior cargo]

when was it last updated?

[earnest snow]

that i can only speculate because 2 weeks ago the mod worked in a old game. I had to format my hd and reinstall everything 2 days ago and haven't been able to get it to work.

[junior cargo]

if its the one i found it was last updated in july 24

so it might need an update

[earnest snow]

damn it might sound strange but I was hoping it was something on my end. I messaged the author but they said couldn't get look into it soon as irl stuff was taking they're time.

[junior cargo]

at least its a small mod so probably the update wouldn't be too much work

[earnest snow]

hopefully they will get to it soon. wanted to start a new game before my days off for the week were over. Anyways thanks for the info.

[torpid badger]

I have been looking for a tutorial, havnt found one yet, on how to create a terminal and transform it into a weapon to use it like a data pad?

does any one know of one?

ty 🙂

[upbeat furnace]

That request doesnt really make sense to me the way its worded. Are you going for something like a Pipboy?

[agile sand]

I have been poking thru the CK for some time now, trying to determine which setting determines how many shots you get, before the reload pause.... Particularly for missile launchers.... and I am just not able to find anything related to it. Is this something that is hard-coded, and you simply CAN'T change it?

[pseudo mesa]

Swordshands_bowman made a mod that changes the ballistic ship weapons into rapid fire PDCs that expend thousands of rounds before reloading. Seems like it should be possible for missile launchers, too.

You might wanna try to reach out to them directly. Maybe they can give you better specifics.

The mod: https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/db8c8b54-866f-4ff7-94e0-f7ec1e5bfd7e/Rapid_fire_Ballistic_PDCs

[torpid badger]

I mean like the mod ship recall with the remote

[steel gazelle]

Anyone else having issues with Wynter's lockpicking mod? Just having the mod active resets my Security to Rank 1, even though it was 4 before the mod was installed. This happens immediately on game load, before the quest is done.

[dapper galleon]

@frosty rover are you going to redo companions? Your crowd mod looks cool. I own the spacer creation. Love your other mods.

[stray wind]

Does anyone have any good tutorials for opening a door with a terminal in starfield? I have spent the last three days using Fallout, Skyrim, what little Starfield tutorials I can find and even used ChatGPT's deep research to try and find the info for me, and I still can't get my door to unlock when I select the terminal menu item 😭

I figure ya'll may be able to help, as I'm trying to complete a level for a school assignment and this is my big issue right now

[autumn idol]

you can look at some examples in CK

[calm brook]

I have not found a tutorial with that. If you can find Muybridge Pharmaceuticals POI in the CK, the lower building has a terminal that all it does is open the door next to it. No messages, no logs, nothing, just open door. Maybe that can help you figure it out

[slim sun]

[junior cargo]

the reflections or the darker line? the darker line might be a normals issue, the reflective bits would be a roughness map on the mat id think

[strong oak]

Sorry I can only figure this channel for my issue. Help. I never had this happen before. In UC Questline. I obtained the Archives data. WE did our thing the Deputy Mcintyre's office. Then we were to swear me in. She took a Way out of path of that part. Went down the elevator and walked around the ledge of the largest NA building. I caught up where she can not move anymore in the picture. Pointers on Reset of this ? or do I wait 24 hours ? I never thought to do a save before entering her office I never had an issue on this part on the questline.

Now she is on top of the windows of Falkland systems. LOL

No worries. I sat on the bench where you swear in. did a wait for 24 hours. Then she was there. The Deputy Reset. Interesting. LOL

[south silo]

I had this bug recently! Then the next quest broke at the very end and didn't start the next quest in the quest line.

[strong oak]

Hmm I will save a bit more than usual then. and hope

[junior cargo]

is it possible to manually start the quest via console commands if something breaks?

[strong oak]

So I am in Ethera right now - is that the broken quest after ?

[south silo]

I ended up having to start a new character as I then had a bug where temples didn't work properly and my character couldn't interact with the light puzzles. I kept reloading until I eventually could do the puzzle, at which point I did the animation for receiving a new power but I didn't get anything and the quest didn't complete. So just a warning.

[south silo]

I believe the broken quest is called Eyewitness. It's the one where you have to hunt down Orlase

Once you turn it in the next quest doesn't start properly sometimes

[south silo]

Probably, but I'm on Xbox unfortunately

[strong oak]

I am in Ethera for orlase right now.

I am on Desktop - nice to know seeing issues on both platforms.

[south silo]

Good luck lol. I never had this problem until recently. I wonder if Falkland caused it somehow by adding to New Atlantis

[junior cargo]

i wonder if it's possible to make an item that could allow manual starting of quests when things break for xbox players

[strong oak]

That would be a bummer if it is related to Flakland I love Flakland Systems

[south silo]

SKK had mods like that for Fallout 4 where you could "fast start" different quest lines, which effectively bypassed some potential issues with some of that game's quests.

[strong oak]

That description is like a progreessive save issue. It add more and more junk code. Until the save is unusable any more. It has happend in other games.

[south silo]

Yeah, so far I haven't had either issue on my new character. I'm expecting to find new problems though lol

[strong oak]

Well the price we pay for our fun. 🥳

I no longer dread starting a new character. I have done hmm four now.

As confirmation I lost total control of spaceship when Orlase spoke. So I went back to an earlier save. I relocated my ship north of Orlase this time and I got his ID. Hmm

[little hare]

There's a save game cleaner for SF now. It helps a lot

[strong oak]

is it a mod ? what is it ?

[little hare]

Nexus search foe engine fixes. It's not the main file. Look in articles for an explanation. May blow up your house, ymmv, etc.

anyone know who the mod author is for this mod? love for this to be achievement friendly

[azure dragon]

this feels like a texture problem, no?

[azure dragon]

well this is the most sucking 17h of my life

[valid plaza]

Good job. A Stroud piece too. The 2x height for more headroom is underappreciated. Looking forward to it.

[junior cargo]

question, would it be fine to edit the vanilla wall objects for the bottom, mid, and top versions of the walls to add a snap behavior for doors since they don't seem to have one, or should i just make copies of them to add it?

the meshes are already there for versions with doors so i assume those wall types are used for ship interiors for m-class or something probably, i just need the snaps to work properly

rather than it just disappearing

[valid plaza]

Do it your way, but an empty variant of a 2x2x2 would be cool too.

[junior cargo]

yeah that's what i'm trying to do right now

pretty much this is going to just be a basic mod to add a bunch of larger habs for now. i got some ideas for possible interiors for larger habs but that'll be after i make the empty versions

[little hare]

If you're taking suggestions, something that is hard to find are double height habs that are only 1x2 or 1x3. The example you showed is fine but being 2x wide means limited appeal for any of the ships I use. Again, just a suggestion.

[valid plaza]

Nice. Large habs are rare but you can do so much with them with decorations.

[junior cargo]

my plan is to make 2x2x2 versions of each, and from there I can cut the exterior into sections to then make larger versions

1x2x2 and 1x3x2 are definitely going to happen, as well as probably 3h versions and 3x3x2/3

[valid plaza]

Looking forward to those.

[jolly torrent]

Where?!? Only for PC?

[little hare]

Yes. It's on Nexus.

[junior cargo]

having multiple monitors really makes using the CK a lot easier

[jolly torrent]

Damn it. Thanks anyway.

[woeful trellis]

I made a custom beard and it's skinned to the face skeleton, but it doesn't move with the face in the game.
I've noticed that hair and beard have different nif files ending in _facebones.
Does anyone know how to set this up so that my custom beard moves with the face?

[hexed pilot]

Back at it again with more CK issues :' > (and it's textures again)

I've moved over a project I had on one laptop to a new PC, and when I opened the worldspace I was working on, the terrain textures had completely changed biomes. I was working on a FrozenLife07 biome (because the worldspace would be a unique location on Jemison's north pole).
I think I've moved everything that was necessary for the mod to work; archives, the esp file is the same, I've moved over the same texture, material, meshes and scripts folders. I don't know what might be happening.

I've tried checking the "Use Land Data" in the inspector window for the worldspace, but that causes the engine to freeze and then crash, alongside making sure that I was still set on FrozenLife07 as biome inside Jemison's surface, but that made no difference.

Is there something I'm missing, or am I doomed to work on this mod from my laptop (where I originally created it).

[obtuse blaze]

Does this work in out posts aswell or just ships ?

[winged summit]

@metalfanforlife

[viral shadow]

any idea as to what causes this invisible floor bug

also for some reason my game is loading mods from a mod loader even though i don't have those mods installed

[dapper galleon]

Could be any mod. I play on Xbox. Have to disable all creations and exit creations. Close game and restart. Go back to creations and enable mods. Then exit to menu and start game. Fixes sound problems too.

[mental estuary]

Have you tried threatening the Xbox with violence?

@sleek cliff Did you port it?

[sleek cliff]

Nope, The_Holographic did

[calm shard]

damn had it been you i was gonna ask if i could DM you to figure out what the feck im doing wrong cuz whenever i try to do a port for Xbox i have issues with the Textures BSA

[solid meadow]

Ah, I'm trying to find someone to port scottyus1's Mass Effect mods. I have his permisions.

[jolly torrent]

Let me see what these mods are…..

[solid meadow]

They're retextures turning the UC into the Systems Alliance, turning the magazines into Mass Effect Comics, and I belive a board game retexture.

Oh, and retexture to Constellation space suit.

[jolly torrent]

Ohhhh. I need this mod

[calm brook]

If I type "ShowGlobalVariables" in Starfield I get an output of all Global Variables with their values. Great!. Now I type "GetGlobalValue MB_MissionsCompleted00Bounty" OR any other Global Variable (So I know that I am not mispelling) I get from the first command, and starfield spits "Item 'MB_MissionsCompleted00Bounty' not found for parameter Global" .. What am I doing wrong?

[pseudo mesa]

Trying to see the current value?

Wouldn't something like

'help completed00bounty 3'

Work out better to print the current value for you?

[calm brook]

thank you, that does spit out the value for the variable. I was using GetGlobalValue because that is the function that shows in CK and I would like a quest of mine to use GetGlobalValue for a trigger, but it wasn't working (could be that or any number of things). So I went ingame to see if it worked ingame and GetGlobalValue also doesnt work for me. Basically I'm stumbling through the dark trying to see what I'm doing wrong. Perhaps using GetGlobalValue in the CK is a bad idea, I don't know. Anywho, thanks for your reply

[pseudo mesa]

Ah that makes sense. Sorry I can't be more help than that. I haven't had much success in trying to get the CK to cooperate at all with my little gaming system.

[jolly torrent]

Thank you to whomever uploaded the N7 armor mod. Now I’m excited about mods again!!!

Also, can I request that a modder turn GalBank into Charles Schwab/ JP Morgan and have some sort of banking system with interest rates that are higher than the heavens, please?

i.e. loans to purchase ships, credit cards, mortgages, etc.?

[boreal osprey]

Finished modeling the Burton SMG

[jolly torrent]

Very nice. Very lovely.

[jolly torrent]

Any chance on getting a H&K MP5 or the H&K VP70? Lol

[boreal osprey]

Yeah. I have pre made models of those. The MP5 is a whole kit. And I'm going to model more parts for the VP70

[jolly torrent]

Thank you!!!

[jolly torrent]

Also, to any modders, how hard would it be to implement construction equipment and “broken ground” outside of New Atlantis/The Lodge since NA just “stops” behind The Lodge???

It’s very weird. I would think some condos would be out there maybe a “Safeway” supermarket would be out there as well.

Also, can we also have real drugs and pharmacies in this game already?!!

What part of game deveolpemnt affects sense of scale? I can't put my finger on it, but Starfield's sense of scale when it comes to things like weapons in the first person view feels quite small.

[celest moat]

Hi folks. I'm a starfield mod newb (I haven't used any mods yet in Starfield). What's the best mod(s) for an alternate start. I've played SF for a while, doing a bit of this and a bit of that, but now want to start again and (a) skip the whole tutorial and main story and just do some focused "role-play" runs (a run as a marshal, a run as a pirate, etc) rather than being a starborn. Any mod suggestions for this?

Don't suppose any folks know how to set an enemy concious/unconcious in papyrus code in creation kit?

I tried setunconcious like past ck's but it doesn't recognize the function and I've had no luck googling (and having chatGPT parse the web for me)

[green pumice]

@woeful sigil amazing work on the VAS-31 🤩 just curious if we could see a full stock and reflex sight in the future for it? And if there's any progress on the semi-auto option for the VMP-31?

[young laurel]

Field of view and screen position, other than the direct scale of items. You can actually alter weapon screen position without editing animations in starfield.

[sharp lotus]

I wonder if guard dialogue can be found somewhere in the ck
Cause i remember them commenting on my weapons and recently one commented on my Crimson Fleet gun “kraken”
So I’m guessing there is code and dialogue for guards to mention your weapon, wonder what all the dialogues are

[autumn idol]

it can

[sleek cliff]

I’m just hoping here in the next update god knows when they release the Animation CK, can’t wait to use the Malorian as CDPR intended.

[sharp lotus]

Could be part of the main game update or could be something separate another time

[sleek cliff]

Modders are already pumping out some banger mods, but would be cool to, Y’know, get an animation for using an Emergency kit

Even FO4 had one in vanilla.

And water physics, Toss a grenade into the water? NOTHING

[slim sun]

If you check the community patch it has a bunch of changes to that dialogue (i.e. so they don't comment on your "hat" or suit when you aren't visibly wearing one) so that would be the easiest way to find it.

[autumn idol]

you can use particle efects for that

Anyone else having isse with The New Crew taking up crew slots? I started NG+ , running Guardian VI, have not visited the Lodge yet, Lyria was my first crew, and she did not take a slot.

water is nearly cut from the game in its current state. In a perfect world I'd hope for some kind of aquatic exploration/POIs and better water body generation on planets.

Hey, I have a question. What's the highest you could set for setgs fXPModBase in Starfield?

[torpid badger]

hi peeps

general question

what are your top 3 legendary effects would people take for a weapon, 1 each from level 1 2 & 3?

[west flare]

......... Come on guys.

[strong oak]

I use (and others), 1 - Furious (or Extended Magazine) (gold/orange/yellow to each their own on color here), 2 - incendiary (purple), 3 - Shattering (blue)

For only the top level 1 - Furious, Extended Magazine, Anti-Personnel (rarely)

Everything depends on the weapon in question to be honest

[hollow salmon]

Has there been some changes to the game and mods because I am not seeing my weapons while I have them equiped

equipped \

[torpid badger]

Thank you for the feedback

[hollow salmon]

There's always a possibility for those, at the moment though, I'm focusing on a bigger creation so that's got my attention at the moment.

Lmao, Bethesda promoted a mod on Instagram and claimed it's on Xbox as well as PC... but it's not.

[uncut cedar]

? can you message me a link to the promotion

[south silo]

Sure! One moment

Here's the mod they linked to

https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/0fb6067d-67e5-483d-b51d-9e464b1794bd/Constellation_Modular_Outfits___Tank_Tops__Jackets?utm_source=Community&utm_medium=Social

And it's promoted on their most recent Instagram post

Maybe they just included the Xbox logo to say the game is on Xbox, but if that's the case it doesn't make it clear that the mod they're promoting isn't.

[sleek cliff]

Twitter is a cesspit at the best of times and we do not live in the best of times lol

It would be nice to have some communication regarding the future of the game though.

[sleek cliff]

Yeah, they definitely should’ve given us SOMETHING by now

I mean, BGS is certainly no Rockstar Games.

[dusky bane]

Hi guys, is there a couple of Starfield modders out there?
I'm trying to do my first own mod right now. I been able to do a lo of things such as creating some habs, playing with lights, populating them with npcs but one thing is missing and i haven't been able to find the ''How to''. I want to put a gun rack in a hab to build in my outposts. No problem with the rack, but the guns doesn't appear visually. I can see them in the rack by pointing at it just like in a chest, but i can't see them on the rack.

Do you guys know a way to solve my issue?

[hoary lava]

Have you compared to vanilla racks in ck? I would start there.

[dusky bane]

Yeah, i did a lot of test until now.
I did put my rack in the basement at jemison and bang, full of guns.

I put the vanilla one and the guns simply doesn't appear visually but they're contained in the rack

[hoary lava]

So, the vanilla ones are broken now? I know very little on this side, just trying to give you a starting point.

[dusky bane]

They're not broken, they only seem to work in some situations. I'm trying to understand the situation to reproduce and make it work in my mod

[maiden hemlock]

Just throwing this out there, but if the rack has a script(s) attached did you check and make sure its properties are filled?

[south silo]

Sure but having an official avenue for communication is better than nothing.

As it stands, if a mod author doesn't link their socials there's no way to report bugs or to help other users pinpoint incompatibilities and issues. Plus the fact there's no comments or reviews means there's no early warning for users if a mod is broken or poor quality.

Also if you use other social media it limits how many people will see related information, like workarounds or known issues.

[dusky bane]

That's an excellent point but i didn't see any script unfortunatly

[dusky bane]

for a test, i did a copy from an existing/working rack.
It doesn't have any script in it
When i use it somewhere else, they doesn't appear

[sharp lynx]

That E-11 there looks familiar lol

[dusky bane]

Nice mod tho

[sharp lynx]

Is the one I made ?

[dusky bane]

Unfortunatly not this one

[sharp lynx]

Ah it's the EA port

[dusky bane]

This is when i put it somewhere else

[sharp lynx]

I'm shocked they made it modular by removing the scope

What's the issue ?

[dusky bane]

It is from the ''Star wars blaster and melee byr Crozzbo''

[sharp lynx]

Yea the EA ports

[dusky bane]

I had yours before but it unfortunatly got issue with other mods i think so i replaced it eventually

[sharp lynx]

Going back to the comment thing, I personally don't see anyone having a hard time finding me and reporting bugs, if people knew how to operate they can attest a mods quality by using the like button. I can agree new mods might have a bit of buyer beware considering there's no length of time for review, however, that would apply regardless comment system or not. On the flip side on nexus where comments are common I see 98% of the reports I get there being completely irrelevant to the mod they're reporting it for and if it is relevant it gets reported 900 times over and you end up spending more time replying to the darn things than fixing the problem don't get me wrong I'm all for feedback and bug reports

That's just my opinion on it anyway

[sharp lynx]

It shouldn't have issues with other mods it was a standalone not a replacer... That's odd

Eh, I'll get to re-uploading it eventually

Or not I don't do star wars mods anymore

[dusky bane]

🤷
I can send you screenshots if you want.
Maybe the issue was on my side, who knows

[sharp lynx]

I know it requires the migration tool to update the nif mesh so there's that

I haven't updated any of my old Nexus mods so that does check out if you haven't used that tool.

Eventually I'll get it 🤣

But what was your original issue again ? Were the weapons not storing properly on the rack ?

[dusky bane]

The Weapons doesn't show when i use the racks

[sharp lynx]

I assume it's due to a lack of keywords

I imagine all they did was slap the ported model over the vanilla one and nothing else

So it probably needs the keyword for the weapon to register as a placable for the snap point

That, or, when they replaced the model it removed that snap point entirely

At least I think that's how those displays operate, it probably just needs a keyword there

If I had the ck in front of me I'd be able to provide a better answer 🤣

[sleek cliff]

Damn, I can’t believe it, all of that is English but didn’t understand a single word of it.

[sharp lynx]

And see you are the folks that go and report bugs

I joke I joke

[sleek cliff]

I try to do the polite thing, nothing at all, I just stop using the mod till i see an UPDATE

[sharp lynx]

SF has a unique situation where a million mods override a million different things some the author may not even be aware of which creates a bit of confusion on the side of what effects what

Which leads to my jokes about "I installed your mod and now my car is out of break fluid."

Which also leads to the importance of cleaning your mod and removing dirty edits

[sleek cliff]

I mean, it’s like people don’t even read the disclaimer when entering creations, some mods might break your game, some don’t play nice with others.

[sharp lynx]

That too

[sleek cliff]

Took me ages when modding Skyrim, what makes my character a terrifying faceless creature of the dark.

Probably mod I installed.

Should I go scream at the mod author? Nah, disable and wait for an update.

[sharp lynx]

That's part of the 98% of reports are irrelevant. When they report a problem that was covered and outlined in the description. I guess my view is drastically effect by the time when all the nifs broke and every description outlined this and yet I had to deal with about 30 reports a day regarding that thing LOL was not a happy camper

[sleek cliff]

I always make sure to read what doesn’t play well with the mod and where it should go in my LO

Because otherwise, my game becomes a minefield, gets corrupted and I have to start all over

[sharp lynx]

That's the other thing, navigating what works with what. It's almost exclusively up to the user to do that ... While it would be nice if mod authors had some magic system that tracks every mod published we sadly don't which makes that endeavor impossible on our end

Popular mods are easy to track for sure

I love this game so much ❤️

Honestly when its relevant user feedback is worth it's weight in gold

[sleek cliff]

This game is a modders paradise from what I’ve seen.

[sharp lynx]

I mean the potential is endless

Literally endless

[sleek cliff]

I mean, imagine someone mods in the capital wasteland.

Or the friggin’ The Strip.

[sharp lynx]

It's not like boring old Nirn where if I want a ship and laser rifle it would make 0 sense and completely out of place, on the flip side if Nirn was in SF it wouldn't feel out of place at all

Or yea fallout even

[sleek cliff]

Skyrim does feel restrictive that way.

[sharp lynx]

They'd feel believable if they were in sf

The multi verse is genius

[sleek cliff]

I mean, people on earth stayed behind? Rebuild civilization Fallout style?

Don’t mind me, just gonna throw my credit card on the table, while I look away give me the Lucky 38

[sharp lynx]

I might have given you the very dollar store brand lucky 38 lol

I would like to try and replicate that building directly at some point tho

[sleek cliff]

That would be epic to see, cause do they really expect us to believe that the only two places to gamble in Starfield is Red Mile and The Almagest

[sharp lynx]

Speaking of ships of Nirn gosh I'd love an Elder berry game where it's all of Nirn and you have roving bands of ships and ship functions just imagine sailing from region to region spending time in the marshlands to port up in Skyrim

Yarg

[sleek cliff]

That would be the dream, I know that leaks are sketchy at best, but I’m hoping the TES6 has ship combat since we might get hammerfell

I want to get very pirate.

[sharp lynx]

SF is already my dream BGS game

But that would be close kinda

[sleek cliff]

Space Combat is fun for sure, but swinging onto a ship to capture it? Damn

I played a LOT of black flag back in the day.

[sharp lynx]

Imagine a boarding system similar to x4 but you're taking part of the boarding

That would make SF perfect

My niche request lol

[sleek cliff]

YES, my request would be better melee with swords and knives

What if my character doesn’t believe in guns? And just wants to samurai slice a guy.

[sharp lynx]

Then you're bringing a knife to a gun fight and I don't feel sorry for you

[sleek cliff]

Fair, but a knife takedown would be cool though.

Just a guard minding his own business and then he gets the forbidden poke in the neck.

And a sword, well, it works for cyberpunk, Y’know, somehow

[sharp lynx]

Yea I'd like to see the execution animations like Skyrim had

[sleek cliff]

I always found it funny the friggin’ Dragonborn suplexed people on takedowns sometimes

Then I’d have no choice but to become a stealth archer

[sharp lynx]

LOL

[sleek cliff]

It’s like all roads lead to becoming a stealth archer, even when you’re desperately trying not to.

Unrelated, Y’know what Akila desperately needs?

The Tops.

I could have the heaviest ordnance in the galaxy, but I’d still 1945 myself.

[jolly torrent]

I would appreciate some scary events happening in this game. Even on planets, such as meteor showers. I would think more aliens that are dangerous and hostile would be a given. Especially larger ones like a boss.

[jolly torrent]

Does anybody remember Perfect Dark on the N64? I only ask because I was wondering if there was a mod that made the clouds and skybox look that creepy/eerie when they are present.

[hollow salmon]

Is there a way to make mods an All in one type of mod?

@sharp lynx I bought some mods from you today

[mental cobalt]

Is it cool to suggest mod ideas or additions to currently available mods/paid creations in this channel 🤔

[solar birch]

Hoping someone might be able to help me out here. Will try to keep it short and sweet. Learned there was a Mod for Starfield known as "L.O.O.T." - Load Order Optimization Tool. Long Story short, Is there something similar to that as a Creation or Creations in the game? Like, actually Creation names would help. Would appreciate the help.

#no rush Lol

[sharp lotus]

lethal company mod in starfield would work as a small side quest

a company is looking for people to help salvage an old facility

[sharp lynx]

I like

[sleek cliff]

Makes sense since there are DOZENS of abandoned facilities and outposts.

[south silo]

Would it be possible to create a mod where ship crew members would exit the ship when you do and patrol like Vasco does? It would be really cool for those POIs where your ship is close enough for enemies to aggro Vasco.

[strong oak]

I think the list is 96 POI in the game list. So yeah lots of outposts and facilities.

[warm helm]

Hey do any of yall know which mods conflict with the Falkland systems mod?

[tawdry sluice]

I don't have any problems with Falkland systems.

[jolly torrent]

Will the POI Cooldown mod conflict with Planet POI and Creature Density Increased mod?

Just curious, as I’m legit on the verge of getting that POI Cooldown mod.

[warm helm]

It’ll freeze when I enter the ship services and I’d have to restart but it’s my only issue

[strong oak]

are you able to buy the Falkland ships, there are three ? and are you on Xbox or Desktop ?

Falkland systems has been Q/C by Bethesda. AS a Mod it has no dependencies other than SF. AND in the description of it - there are level requirements.

that said - the best source for you questions is per the Falkland Description: SUPPORT

For additional information and support - please message me on either Reddit or Nexus with issues while I work on an official Discord for this Creation. Reviews can also be left on the r/StarfieldModFeedback subreddit.

Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/Hjalmere/
Nexus: https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/Hjalmere

The Author is completely open to answering. He did a great job on this mod.

[warm helm]

I’ve already spoken to him actually but ik he’s busy with others as well but he told me all the things he thought of which I tried and it made it better but still freezes so I’m not sure what the cause is. I heard it could do with navemeshes in NA and it has to be patched but i could be wrong

[strong oak]

are you Xbox or Desktop Steam ? and I am glad the Author gave you feedback. Nice to know.

[strong oak]

I see that some people have paid mods the Author does not have. To Test. If you find you have paid mods - Disable them in Creations Load Order. And see if Falkland Systems works. You can add some back. Test. Until you experience the issue again - or sometimes - even just doing that resolves issues. But If you find a specific mod that interferes - inform the author - as a courtesy - and he can then be aware. It does not look like anyone has identified an offending Paid or non paid mod yet. If those paid ones are not the issue - you can test non paid ship related mods in the same manner. Sadly SF has no error logs built-in we can see - or it would be easier to point a finger at a specific issue. Always have a - go back to save - in the ready - as you test you can get a lot of saves or just an Exit save (to avoid) once done. If you have already done this. It could be the interface of the Maps tie in to the Falkland systems two tie in's. Which the author can ask Bethesda Q/C to look into. But he mentions other things in his responses as I am sure you have read.

[green pumice]

Just had a curious thought, with the way spacesuits can be split into parts and mixed and matched in the creation kit. Could the same apply to miscellaneous items being attached to spacesuits? For example the top horn of the double bone horn item could be put on the helmet for a set of horns?

[boreal osprey]

At what point is scale factored in for meshes? Nifskope? Or when you're modeling in your proffered software? I use Nif to extract models so I can use them as scale reference but the scale gets messed with with Blender and Plasticity.

[sleek cliff]

I wonder if we’ll ever get a Vault Suit mod.

[young laurel]

I do it the same, with a reference in blender, but it can always be adjusted in nifskope if needed

[boreal osprey]

That's good to know. I copied and modeled this accessory rail type system from the Maelstrom and I'm applying it to all the other Crimson Fleet faction weapons I'm working on. But I want to make sure everything has the same scale so all the accessories are interchangeable lol

[young laurel]

Oh yeah, you can always just copy over the maelstrom mesh itself to scale in nifskope, then delete when you have it right

[boreal osprey]

Is there a unit of measurement that meshes in nifskope are set to? Because I'm always unsure if my settings should be set on mm, cm or meters. Would just prefer to keep them the same size so I don't have to keep playing around with the scale tool XD

[young laurel]

I am not sure tbh. I know for FO4 I always had to clamp scale to 10 when importing .objs from nifskope, or they'd be too big, if that tells you anything.

[sharp lynx]

I'd just use an NPC and any in game weapon I don't think there's an exact scale

Since there's a lack of custom animation, I.E custom grip potions you're kinda at the mercy of in game weapon scale and position ATM anyway

[sleek cliff]

Ah, that’s a mighty good looking freedom spitter

[boreal osprey]

Thanks! It's going to be the CF battle rifle

[boreal osprey]

Yeah, I'm just waiting for animation tools for that. Plus having the models is a nice way to get the general size of weapons. Plus I'm always unsure on how wide to make parts of my models XD

[jolly torrent]

Sweet!!!!

[safe sorrel]

It might be that the display slots aren’t set up right, try deleting them and then resetting them, in the container/rack, that might fix your problem

[sleek cliff]

BASED

[dusky bane]

Hey! Thanks for your answer.
Unfortunatly that's not it.
The rack work flawlesly in an existing cell. It doesn't work when i use it in a outpost as part of a packin. I want to understand why

[safe sorrel]

Hmm an outpost packin I’m assuming?

[dusky bane]

Yup, exactly

[safe sorrel]

That’s weird because I’ve not had any trouble getting them to work in those unless it was set to static (in which case the weapons wouldn’t go in there at all) or the display slots aren’t quite right

[cold slate]

Speaking of CF rifles, it would.be super swell if there was a blackout skin for the one already in the game.

I refuse to join the Fleet. So I won't use the weapon with the vanilla color pattern. But that ammo is easy to get so it would be nice to have a skin so I can use that gun in early play throughs.

[safe sorrel]

What changes did you make to the rack?

[dusky bane]

I used the vanilla first but didn't work. The guns appears like if it was in a container/chest but i can't see them.

Then add some slots for the rifles and removes the pistols ones and did a couple of tests. It works ingame. I put some at the lodge, at new atlantis, at a couple of places on mars. It all worked.

I put some in my habs packin and as i said, the guns are in but not shown.

I assume i missed something. Maybe a marker, a volumeeffect or something. Maybe a keyword... Who knows.

[safe sorrel]

Did you edit the snap behavior/template to change some slots from pistol to rifle?

[dusky bane]

Yes, but as i said, my previous tests were with the vanilla one and the result were the same

[safe sorrel]

It’s possible that the packins are more “touchy” a lot of things that work no problem in a set location won’t work the same in an outpost pack in

The vanilla one isn’t working in your packin either?

[dusky bane]

No
For further test, i did a packing only containing the rack with the prefab and the pivot and the result still the same.

You said you used it, was it in a packin too?

[safe sorrel]

Yeah I have several in my Argos mods

[dusky bane]

I'll take a look tho.
To be honnest, i'm pretty rookie to starfield modding. I'll take a look at your mod. In what constructable building did you put a rack?

[safe sorrel]

The armory is one I know definitely has one, can’t remember if the shop still does or not

[dusky bane]

Good i'll take a look. Your mod is on nexus?

[safe sorrel]

No it’s a paid one on Creations

If it’s a specific packin it’s not working in, have you tried the racks in a different packin?

[dusky bane]

I'll do futher test tomorrow but it didn't worked in any of my packins

[safe sorrel]

That’s really weird

I wonder if there’s some key word or something in the packin that’s interfering with the racks somehow

[dusky bane]

Humm
I'll turn on my comp right now and test something.

[boreal osprey]

Yeah, I plan on doing a wide variety of skins specificaly with this in mind. Say you want to roleplay as a Free Star Ranger, but want to use a different vanilla weapon or one of my modded weapons, you'll be able to change the skin to the Free Star themed one. Solid colours, faction themes, camo's, etc... The crimson fleet theme will be the default skin for these but there will be tons of other options.

[dusky bane]

I did a new packin for test purpose. I've put 4 differents guns racks side by side. They all have gun in it but nothing shows again.
On the second picture, i've deselected ''instanced, grouped and fixed'' because at this point, who knows... The guns appears but on the ground, same with the racks.
I'll reselect fixed, then grouped and continue my tests.
If something come in your mind, let me know

[dusky bane]

With only fixed, the racks and guns are on the floor but the guns are separateds from the racks.
With grouped selected, the gun racks are back tho supposed height but the guns aren't there visually

[safe sorrel]

So are these a Buildable packin that are built to be floating? Or are they floating as a way to get them to look like they’re being placed on a wall without being on a wall?

[dusky bane]

I made it as barebone as i can to be sure to avoid any conflict with anything else

[safe sorrel]

What’s your end goal
With them?

[sharp lynx]

Lol well there's some details

[dusky bane]

I'm doing a mod with some buildings who came with npcs and other stuffs. I didn't like the loneliness and the plain sight from the original game so i'm working to make it more... Let's say alive.
Working on an armory right now

[safe sorrel]

And you’ve tried building them in the habs too I take it?

[sharp lynx]

Interesting

Oof lol

That whole book terminated

[sour steppe]

Let's mind our language please.

[sharp lynx]

Hewo Argonian

[dusky bane]

Yeah sorry. I'll do better

[sour steppe]

Hiya Tank!

Interestin tho. Didn't know a discord server could have this fonction

[sharp lynx]

Discord bots are super handy

Good for stopping terrible things

I managed to fit all my new items into one screenshot

[sharp lynx]

I take you're making an imperial garrison

[dusky bane]

As i was saying but with no ''curse words''

I did put some npcs, figured out how to make them do things, build a working dual cargo link with a bunch of lights, made the cargolink work with integrated keyboard to blend the consoles i used as command center, made npc work there and figured how to make it all by myself but didn't been able to make those gun racks work. I find it frustrating

[sour steppe]

"Crazy" is subjective. I'd say "dedicated"

[sharp lynx]

I like that lol

[sour steppe]

Let's keep things appropriate please 😅

[sharp lynx]

[dusky bane]

You're talking about what i said about my wife?
Ok, i think i'll stick to the gun rack tho

[sharp lynx]

Now you just need a gun rack for your gun rack

[sour steppe]

Yes. Some folks may find such remarks inappropriate. Just trying to help.

[dusky bane]

Ho ok, i found it soft but, your rules.

[dusky bane]

So the timer is to give you time to judge if my word are appropriates right

[sharp lynx]

Good rule of thumb for official discords is they usually take things pg biggest reason being it's a direct representation of said official place. That's just what I think

[sour steppe]

Nah. The timer is so that folks to spam messages.

[mental estuary]

flash back to the days of Starfield's launch,prelaunch and showcase

[dusky bane]

[sharp lynx]

Bruh

I could've told ya that 🤣

That's so exciting tho!

[timid temple]

it was a matter of actually, yknow, putting in the work, and also working out how best to place them for max lighting

[sharp lynx]

On the bright side You've learned

And won't unlearn that LOL

[quiet owl]

I like Starfield and Fallout 4, but I wish there was an option to design and build your own outpost or have an NPC to take care of all that for you. ( All that's required is to supply the resources. Also I starfield I have notice a lot of Abandon Outpost, Space Stations and other base, it's a shame that during the game play you don't get the option to take them over and hire NPC to run them for you.

Maybe some can make a mod for it.

[sharp lynx]

I'm kinda working on the ladder there

I'd personally also like to have outpost operate more autonomously as well

With NPCs doing similar... Honestly when I first made my building pack the style of design outposts reminded me of kenshi and thought.... How amazing it would be if NPCs acted similar to how they do in kenshi

Dream game right there if SF had this

[quiet owl]

and what's with the ship design, each ship has a mini rat run maze and and when you create a ship from scratch you have no option of including a lift

[sleek cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/christmas-ladder-fall-ops-ouch-gif-19665313

[quiet owl]

The only way to get a quick cockpit is to find your way out and renter using the short cut or if your in to cockpit you use the short cut there there is no other place to, just to go through the maze and hope your going the right way

[mental estuary]

Matilija's Aerospace is a must for elevators (among other parts)

[boreal osprey]

What aspect/files in the CK handles the menu systems? I'm curious about how difficult it would be to change the weapon customization to something like Escape From Tarkov. I like the interactive customization to it.

[sleek cliff]

You know what would be a badass weapon mod?

A brick could be a lethal weapon in space

[dapper galleon]

Request: Can someone please make a mod where we receive the Starborn’s weapon of whom we sided with upon entering NG? I play it on Xbox.

[sharp lynx]

Brick gun when

[sleek cliff]

Imagine getting a status called “Head Trauma” after getting hit by a brick gun.

[green pumice]

Imagine if there's a unique Brick Gun called "Wet Bandit's Nightmare"

[sleek cliff]

Or one called “concussion” that exclusively aims for the head.

[green pumice]

Imagine if the punchline is that the gun itself is a headache to use

[sleek cliff]

Like the gun does small damage to you every once in a while

[green pumice]

A random chance to inflict head trauma on the user after each shot

[sharp lynx]

Yee ol window smasher

The goodnight gun

The off button

[sleek cliff]

Concussion Bringer 3000

[sleek cliff]

A brick gun called “The Russian Roulette” a 1% chance it could kill you.

[sharp lynx]

[sleek cliff]

I haven’t been a gambler since NV but I’m willing to take those odds.

As long as I take one person with me.

[normal steeple]

Don't make me make this brick

[plucky peak]

How difficult is it to learn to mod Starfield? I wanna make a bunch of legally distinct Warhammer mods.

Like in my mod we'll have a cult of gene stealers that want to infect humanity and take them over.

[normal steeple]

Learning curve is kind of steep but it snowballs!

[plucky peak]

But we'll call them soul snatchers.

[plucky peak]

What kinds of skills are required?

[normal steeple]

It honestly varies, depends what you want to achieve!

[plucky peak]

I want to create a new non-joinable enemy faction of parasitic aliens that take over human bodies. Like an Invasion of the Body Snatchers kinda thing where there's a questline to investigate and eventually eradicate them but they've replaced several members of various other factions. I wanted to do something like New Vegas where on New Game+ you can find them all and assassinate them for some cool dialogue.

[normal steeple]

haha ummm baby steps! A lot of things to cover to get there but I'm sure it's doable!

[plucky peak]

I also wanted to make some Fallout 4 style Power Armor.

I feel like that's an easier job than the genestealer cult idea.

I should probably beat the game first tho,

I'm surprised with how many Star Wars mods there are... Considering the majority opinion on the current state of the setting.

I think it's interesting that the Star Wars writing is so bad that you could put the T'au Empire in Star Wars and you'd have one of the most unique and interesting villains in the setting.

(T'au are aliens who believe in the "Greater Good" and are so convinced that doing the right thing is the moral obligation of intelligent species that they ignore the whole "consent" part of joining their empire and forcibly conscript other species to serve the Empire. However the T'au clearly understand the "Greater Good" more than anyone else, which is why all the position of political and military influence are occupied by T'au pretty much exclusively.)

[sharp lynx]

https://tenor.com/view/communism-liberty-prime-fallout-marty-robbins-aint-i-right-gif-15145342758895240294

Well, to give you a little hint to how difficult it might be to do power armor for SF. Note that there is 0 attempts at doing so.

It's def not impossible, but for a first attempt and first step at modding I def don't recommend that being what you start on lol. I think maybe making your first normal armor set and learning how to rig a character might be the better start

Maybe learning the program itself and making a house or something.. pretty much walking before you run.

[dapper galleon]

Any chance of porting this to Xbox https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/4409 I’m on NG 3 and already burnt out on it. I’m not sure I even had interest in getting From Software games much further than NG4. I’ve reached a point in the gameplay where I am just grinding out New Games due to how the loot pool, gear system, and powers work in Starfield.

[cold slate]

There is the Unity Awaits mod already in Creations. It's a storage box on Mars with all the artifacts. So all you have to do is build the Armillary and jump to Unity.

No it doesn't skip to NG+10. But it does allow you to skip the story entirely, regardless of which universe you load.

[dapper galleon]

Thank you!

[lavish flax]

There actually already is a similar mod that exists that lets you skip up to ng+10 . Give me a sec to find it

If only we could have mechs do stuff like that in Starfield. Either controlling them in the mech or via terminal.

[tame sparrow]

Give it time
either Bethesda will "bring back" mechs into the game through expansions later or the modding community will

[warm helm]

Hey yall quick question, it seems I’m still having issues with my load order and literally just 1 of my mods is having issues (Falkland systems mod). I put it in the ship section but I’m hearing it should go in different places. Can yall give me any advice please?

[sleek cliff]

Aren’t there already mods that bring em’ back as enemies?

[warm helm]

Honestly I think it just takes time and patience cause some of these modders have created incredible content and ik it’s possible to achieve what you were talking about doing.

[warm helm]

Yes

[sleek cliff]

Weird why they weren’t in the base games as enemies

[warm helm]

I think they should’ve been like raider versions since they are banned in the galaxy but not actual streamlined versions, cause obviously the people who piloted them wouldn’t just forget how they work lol

[tame sparrow]

From Bethesda?

[sleek cliff]

Nah, modders

[tame sparrow]

I was leaning towards mechs made by Bethesda
with modding, anythng can happen

but id rather we see how bethesda does their way of mechs

[sleek cliff]

If they decide to do it

Big if

[tame sparrow]

true, for all we know they prob have no plans for adding mechs in starfield for plot and game narrative purposes

[sleek cliff]

Exactly.

Which is weird because Spacers and Ecliptic would absolutely try to salvage and use one
