[sly ocean]

Cool, so another solution is to use projects, then. Thanks; good to know. I'll save these notes for later in case I have a use case down the road.

[upbeat furnace]

This is how you can make the CK automatically place fragments into a namespace of your choosing. I think that field is stored in the CreationKitPrefs.ini after you set it in the GUI. The others are specified manually in your CreationKitCustom.ini.

[sly ocean]

That's the thing, though - the CK compiles what I want without issue. It's just the CLI that doesn't want to play nice.

Interestingly, mine looks like this currently:

[upbeat furnace]

What does your working CK script pref window say? The CK.ini, PPJs, and CLI args all have equivalents for each other. If I knew the working config I might translating it to CLI.

Aye, I got ninja'd but Ill let my post stand.

I see, you have a giant mono package for all script source instead of splitting the source into multiple packages.

One sec, Im whipping up a thing

[wary arch]

Man I want Star Field so bad on PC because of this mod

https://youtu.be/2lGnbpFsgnQ?feature=shared

I wish the discounts were bigger than 40 dollars

[upbeat furnace]

Create \steamapps\common\Starfield\Package-Root-DLC03 and place your DLC03 folder in it. Then run PapyrusCompiler.exe Build-Folder.ppj. One should batch compile and the other cherry pick from a list of scripts.

[wary arch]

I have it on series s and got a decent star wars load order but the sound effects are still stock and music is still stock

[sly ocean]

Thanks for the help here, but I don't want to move my DLC03 script source folder to a non-standard location; it'll break the CK's ability to read those source files (e.g., when looking at a quest stage for DLC03, it'll say "Failed to load ... " instead of displaying the source).

[upbeat furnace]

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Starfield\Tools\Papyrus Compiler\PapyrusCompiler.exe" "MyNamespace:MyScriptName" -i="C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Starfield\Data\Scripts\Source" -o="C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Starfield\Data\Scripts" -f=".\Starfield_Papyrus_Flags.flg"

CLI for single file compilation

[sly ocean]

Cool, so this works:

.\PapyrusCompiler.exe "dlc001:DialogueHVLC13_QuestScript" -i="C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Starfield\Data\Scripts\Source" -o="C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Starfield\Data\Scripts" -f=".\Starfield_Papyrus_Flags.flg"

Papyrus Compiler Version 4.7.0.5 for Starfield
Copyright (C) ZeniMax Media. All rights reserved.
Starting 1 compile threads for 1 files...
Compiling "dlc001:DialogueHVLC13_QuestScript"...
Compilation succeeded.

Batch compile of 1 files finished. 1 succeeded, 0 failed.

[upbeat furnace]

Yea, I would never use that location myself. I recommended you to try it because I thought it might enlighten you on the differences between packages and imports. The CK fragments work with any location, but you have to specify the locations in the CreationKitCustom.ini. It is confusing and the documentation is sparse. It is possible but its up to you to decide if the juice is worth the squeeze

Also, batch compilation or -all switch are off the table if you do a monolithic Data\Script\Source\ package. But there are work arounds since you know your way around a CLI batch\ps you can write somthing that calls single file compilation a bunch of times if you need that.

[sly ocean]

Ah, so that's why -all fails when single-file succeeds.
Yeah, I could iterate through every single file with a PowerShell or batch script, in a pinch.
Well, thanks for sharing. Useful info for later, no doubt.

[upbeat furnace]

The update for Old Secrets was just released on the shop

[mystic fox]

I'm finishing up a mod and want to hide some of my new items around the key, I noticed a security door (Not the ones you can open with the cutter the ones which require a terminal) and wanted to hide on f my items behind this locked door but cannot for the life of me find a way to open it. Does anybody know if this door is openable?

The door is behind one of the vendors aboard the key

[neat crow]

If it's not linked to anything it likely doesn't open, or it is tied to the quest where you storm the key with SysDef

[sharp lynx]

its the hilt

[sleek cliff]

Is that many triangles even LEGAL.

[boreal osprey]

If items are for 1st person view I would expect it to be somewhat dense. But looking at Tankgirls comment, I'm intrigued. Can you take a screenshot of the hilt?

[sleek cliff]

@sharp lynx I just realized something, Starfield’s Earth is basically a wasteland right?

[sharp lynx]

It literally looks like they've just subdivided it six times

[sharp lynx]

dont give anyone else more ideas

holy moly... Well, makes me feel better knowing the game can handle it lol. Been overthinking poly count so much because I want my mods to be well optimized and run well. Meanwhile BGS:

Apparently there was nail on the stage for him to hook his foot on.

[sour steppe]

I saw something about that. The heel of one of his shoes (looking at the gif, I'd say his right foot) had a cut out so he could do that. Must have been a pain having to do that for so many people tho.

[sharp lynx]

that and how many people tried this and fell on their face

Finally! Somewhere I can irresponsibly waste my money.

[neat crow]

[sleek cliff]

I can be a degenerate gambler in Starfield

Gonna sell my weapons, my ships even the clothes off my back.

Like they say, the hand you don’t play could be the winning one.

And if I’m already in the hole, keep digging.

[safe sorrel]

I’m so weird about gambling I even get anxious at the idea of losing fake money in video games

[sleek cliff]

I was the exact same, RIGHT UP UNTIL I I wandered into Vikki and Vance’s in NV

[safe sorrel]

Ha I could never get the hang of Caravan so swore off anything to do with cards in NV

[sleek cliff]

Let’s just say, I’ve lost a LOT money in NV

[safe sorrel]

Did you do whatever it took to take all the gold bars with you in Dead Money to fuel the gambling addiction?

[sleek cliff]

Obviously

And I’m currently doing a 2nd run of NV after not having played for a few years

And I’m gonna do it again

Because Gambling Fills a man’s heart.

I have no idea how menu/screen stuff work in the CK, but in my Neon experiment I want a useable arcade. Definitely will add DOOM once I figure it it out XD

[sharp lynx]

you say that so casually like its possible

[sleek cliff]

👀

Why isn’t it possible?

[amber sparrow]

People have made digital watchs run doom I think starfield could run doom

[sleek cliff]

Didn’t someone run Doom on a calculator once?

[sharp lynx]

[sharp lynx]

this is like confidently saying, because I know how to ride a bike I can clearly just pilot a helicopter.

[sleek cliff]

So, what you’re saying is, if I don’t know how to ride a bike, I shouldn’t drive in Formula One?

[sharp lynx]

Clearly I mean if you have a boating licence, you should be able to do engine repair on my car

[sleek cliff]

That’s basically enough street cred to pilot a rocket.

[amber sparrow]

Jokes on you I can fly a helicopter but not ride a bike

[sharp lynx]

that is exactly what the ck is like

[amber sparrow]

I lied!

I can't fly a helicopter

[sleek cliff]

Speaking of, according to the SF chat, my PC is basically a potato and can’t legally run CK

[sharp lynx]

Don't get me wrong tho, I'm all for crazy ambition

[sleek cliff]

I’m Star-Screwed!

[sharp lynx]

thats what makes the best mods

[sleek cliff]

I was so excited to make a dumbass mod, like a poster that just says “Big iron”

[boreal osprey]

Like I said, I have no idea lol. That's why I'm trying to learn the how part

[amber sparrow]

I honestly just don't have the patience for modding, I've tried before and my adhd just makes it hard to concentrate

[sleek cliff]

Also, I’ve listened to so much Johnny Guitar I know it by heart now.

Pretty soon I’m gonna turn that big iron on myself, good luck bringing me back this time, Doc.

Esteemed Starfield modders, Papa Todd has returned with the milk.

[mystic fox]

I think there’s a tease for the next dlc In there

At least In the one on Instagram

[sleek cliff]

“Terran Armada” apparently

[mystic fox]

Interesting I got the armada part and thought it said the armada but i just rewatched and the word above deveinitly isnt the it does start with te

if it is terran armada I can't wait to see what that means

[nimble latch]

New faction maybe

Something to do with earth

[mystic fox]

Maybe we will find out what happened to Sebastian banks?

[jolly torrent]

I really wish Beth would just come out and say what’s coming instead of this cat and mouse game.

Like, you don’t have to reveal everything, but don’t keep saying “Hey guys!! Get excited because we’re working on something! Get excited!! Are ya excited yet because we’re working!” It’s insulting. Show me something to be excited about. If I had that mentality at my job and told my boss that, I’d be fired on the spot.

[mystic fox]

They aren’t really teasing us since shattered space they have really only said they were working on something once or twice and that was probably in response to people wondering whether they were still working on the game or not. So the only real tease has been the anniversary thing today and I don’t expect it will be long before we hear about the next dlc or update

[jolly torrent]

I’m sorry to rain on people’s parades and be a wet blanket, but it’s going to take more than just flashing text to get me hyped up.

[sly ocean]

Try the CK anyway, if you happen to own Starfield for PC. My last laptop was way under spec and still ran the CK; it just took several minutes to load and sometimes several minutes to bring up some menus.

So if you're going to make something simple as you said, it might be fine as long as you're patient.

[deep horizon]

Does anyone know how to remove mods from appearing in “My Library” that I don’t have installed?

[neat crow]

Via the website, but only for free and non Bethesda mods

[crisp haven]

Maybe it is "Terran R' Mad" like people on earth are just mad or something

[sleek cliff]

I won’t say no to an underground city

[deep horizon]

I tried to do that but it doesn't work

Question : I want to use a few class M parts on my ship. I have a mod that gives me the parts, but still can`t fly the ship.
Any mod just to unlock the pilot seat for class m?

I used those same parts (on the sides) before and could fly the ship, but that was a while back

Guys.

Hear me out.

A bar on earth.

Called, I dunno, Old World Pub, or Honest Hearts Saloon

[sly ocean]

There are a few mods that allow you to do this. Here's one:

[mental estuary]

Nah since we're a Dusty call it Prospecter's Saloon

[jolly torrent]

@slim sun It just works!!! I love this mod!!!!

[mystic fox]

How do you guys test the stability of your mods, I want to make sure my mod isn't crashing peoples games but don't know how I would go about doing that.

[untold field]

Happy anniversary, Starfield 🎉 🥰
https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/14814

[jolly torrent]

It would have been nice if Beth released something on the second anniversary of their greatest game ever, but nope. Just flashing text. Lol. It’s sad that modders and people like me, who don’t mod, love this game so much, while Beth is just “Hey guys!!!! We’re working on it!!”

I 100% appreciate all the modders on the real. Yol made this game turn into a masterpiece. I love all Yol for real!!!!!

[untold field]

There is still a long day ahead, who knows, maybe Bethesda gives us something. But I don't expect it either 😄 That's why I wanted to get this one out today. It is not much and I cannot hold a candle to all these amazing other modders for this game. But I hope some will like the stuff I make nonetheless 🙂

[jolly torrent]

Messing around New Atlantis, but I wasn’t going to show this until I got with @slim sun on it. The last line “Thanks for your service” line.

[marsh grotto]

I already have that mod, and it does not work as far as being able to pilot the ship

[sly ocean]

It does still apparently require you to have Piloting Skill level 4. If you don't have that yet, that could be why it doesn't work.

[marsh grotto]

I do have Piloting Skill level 4

[marsh grotto]

I have tried having the ship as home ship, before I put the m class parts on. that does not work any more

[sly ocean]

Hmm, not sure, then. I don't run class M ships, but I do recall coming across people having issues starting a few months ago when I was looking into a similar issue.

Some people claimed that Kuzuryu Habs caused it, some people said it needs to be your home ship before you add the M class parts (as you mentioned), and some people claimed "Skill challenges removed" messed up the custom M class Piloting skill by overriding the changes it makes to allow M class piloting.
If none of those apply to you, hopefully someone else can chime in with better ideas.

[marsh grotto]

Sadly, none of those apply. I am not sure which patch Bethesda did, broke it for me, because I took a year long break from the game.

those side pieces are the only m class parts I was using, (just like the way they look)
Thanks for trying

[marsh grotto]

got it, removed all m class parts, took off from planet, landed, installed a different m class reactor, installed the parts I wanted to use. And it worked.

no idea which thing I did made the difference 🤣 but I Think it was the reactor

now if I can figure out how to get rid of all the scrap in orbit, I will be set

this is in orbit above my main outpost. I keep having Ecliptic and Spacers attacking in orbit. I have harvested everything, but still have crap in orbit. Also a bunch of UC ships now stay in orbit (no idea why) Nemeria IV-A

[normal steeple]

Eyyyy! Welcome!

[boreal osprey]

I was looking around for reference images for when I eventually do Free Star/Laredo weapons. I wanted to get some input from you guys. What do you think are important design features for that style of weaponry? Aside from wood furniture. I know it's based on the old west but that isn't completely helpful when wanting to design a rocket launcher or machine gun lol

[sleek cliff]

Skins.

You and your weapons have to look and feel good.

[boreal osprey]

Yeah that part I know. But I'm working on the design language/style for the designs. Take my CF weapons for example. They have a lot of parts that look CNC machined, a bit rough and aggressive. And the Va'ruun. They're weapons are more sci fi, triangulated shapes and such.

[sleek cliff]

Given Freestar, they would try to keep it as close to old earth weapons as possible

What about Charms? Y’know, along with skins.

Or handles

Member how RDR2 had engraved handles?

Genuine Akila Rosewood Handles

[marsh grotto]

how about a launcher
https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2F736x%2Ff4%2F06%2F44%2Ff40644c9a8cbb1909b72cf6c4e99a950--low-poly-weapons.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=09fae916661405109bf67a9fe3bcc6736536a113deb7e4972f3c71b36a0df8fa

could update it to modern

[boreal osprey]

Definitely. I think a mix of organic shapes and hard surface forged metal pieces with wood furniture would be good. Just found this DOOM gun and it's in the sphere for the design style.

[sleek cliff]

Now we are TALKING

Have you thought about a Lever Action Shotgun?

[boreal osprey]

The vanilla rocket/grenade launcher is a lever action. I was thinking of a tube fed pump action. Something like this, but made more in the style of the doom gun

[sleek cliff]

Hear me out.

Flintlocks, while only holding one round, does massive damage.

[marsh grotto]

ever watch the Fallout tv show? How about the pistol the Ghoul uses?

[boreal osprey]

I think Laredo having a sort of "legacy" line would be pretty neat. Not necessarily for space exploration, but as useable collection pieces.

[sleek cliff]

Rich aristocrats and influential individuals would be all over something like that.

And with how far weapon tech has gotten

It could be augmented to hold up to three shots

[little hare]

🌟 beauties!

[sleek cliff]

Right? Could kill someone with STYLE

[zinc spade]

I mean if it has the function of irl target pistols I could see it. Also single shot used in some competitions.

[sleek cliff]

I personally believe in single shot supremacy.

Mostly because I imagine the ammo it would use would leave a peach sized HOLE in a spacer

https://tenor.com/view/doflamingo-gun-gif-15509562692519603471

Anyone know what the new preferred way of delaying script executions on continuously running scripts is?
From what I've read we had something like "RegisterForUpdate()" in Skyrim/Fallout which could schedule scripts to run every x amout of seconds. This does not appear to be the case in Starfield anymore. What's the best approach to this?

[jagged forge]

Timers are I think all we have. StartTimer, OnTimer, etc from scriptobject

well, aside from UtilityWait ofc

[neat crow]

Timers essentially are the replacement for RegisterForUpdate()

lookin real nice so far

I know there are some pre-made ship mods. But anyone working on a pre-made Hull mod the we can snap our habs into? like my post in suggestions

[torpid badger]

My Theory

Could it be some people that were left on Earth survived, underground bunkers or something. Are their own faction and are pi**ed at the colonies for leaving them?

[slim sun]

I'd thought that too, it would make sense.

[sleek cliff]

That’s what I thought! But people in the chat told me to go to hell with that theory

[torpid badger]

Having Terran in the name makes me think that

[torpid badger]

how rude!

[sleek cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/bow-arrows-shoot-hit-gif-12968662

Literally me when I put out that theory

[torpid badger]

Ill take some of those for ya, cause i agree with you

[sleek cliff]

I’m willing to bet a lot that earth is somehow included in the next dlc.

[fast field]

Hm, that’s not a bad theory. An angry resurgent earth would make a cool story.

If that’s not the actual dlc story someone should do that as a mod.

[torpid badger]

With Terran in the name, im thinking that too

[fast field]

iirc there was an organization in the game called the Terran Preservation Society, maybe the dlc will have something to do with them.

[neat crow]

That was just a club for snobs lol

That's the people you steal the Earth Savior Award from during the Crimson Fleet Quest

[sleek cliff]

I hate that there’s no model for it, I was hoping to display it at my H10 apartment

Listening to Barrett wax poetic about his steak.

[zinc spade]

It was removed in a patch though

[sleek cliff]

What the hell.

[zinc spade]

Ikr.

[sleek cliff]

I’ve wasted so much time looking for her to do my own revenge

[jolly torrent]

I figured it was removed as I NEVER get that.

[zinc spade]

There should be a mod/ creation to re enable the event.

[jolly torrent]

I agree. I asked @slim sun if he could look into it a little bit ago. He did some digging on it and Beth has it under “Random Events” or something in the code.

[slim sun]

^ yeah it needs fixing, I'm working on it. Testing is rather time consuming as I need to triple check the precursor "revenge" quest triggers and updates a global even if you've done it already.

Bethesda made a couple of errors, there's a quest alias that doesn't fill because the collection alias it's supposed to draw from was incorrect, and the global that tracks the number of revenge encounters has been made a constant instead of a variable.

It makes sense to include this as part of a wider mod to allow users to change the percentage chances of space encounters, because otherwise it can take quite a long time to trigger anyway.

[jagged forge]

Ok, this is driving me mad. I have an NPC, two packages on their ref alias, escort then follow player. The escort finishes and follow starts, but the follow target never resolves = (00000000)? I've tried base alias, quest alias, single ref, FollowNPC/FollowPlayer templates, added evaluatepackage to mods that aren't even loaded.. what gives? What am I missing :/

[warm bolt]

Just started learning CK, and blender, and nifskope... 🙂 (managed to successfully create in game stuff, but this is my first bring something into the game, ... i've got a melee weapon in blender, used the pain blade as the size template, resized, tried the export to starfield. But then when i open that new file in nifskope its empty. No idea what i've done wrong or failed to do.

I have the following, but when I tried to take my batleth blend file and follow 510Deshawn's guide for Mele weapns (using the painblade as my existing base reference from the exported B2a's) i failed miserably.

3. imported the extracted ba2 of the painblade nif

4. aligned the middle batleth handle with the painblade handle, rotated the bathleth blade some to hopefully make the animation make "some" sense

5. deleted the painblade reference from the open window

6a) enabled bool tool, grouped the bathleth handles and the bathleth blade together into 1 mesh (Object Join)

6. tried export starfield nif , it says succesful and there is a file..but when i open the file in nifskope it is empty. Then again when I open the exported ba2s from the Starfield files those don't show in nifskope either.. is there a trick to making them show up (like in CK you have to 'turn off the light' or nothing shows)

Help?

thanks, Doc

[normal steeple]

Are you getting an export error log?

[warm bolt]

No, it says it was export successful

[normal steeple]

Ok, how does your object hierarchy look?

[warm bolt]

In blender? (Sorry, literally learning new terms as i come across them)

[normal steeple]

Yeah! Under the view layer (top right usually)

[warm bolt]

I'll check after my meeting. Typing under the table on remote. LOL.

I reran the export, now it says i have no a active uv map.

[normal steeple]

The best kind of practice using Starfield Geometry Bridge is to replicate the vanilla node structure;
You can do this by using 'Empties' and then structuring them however you might need them. By default most scenes node parents export from 3dsmax/Watcher named 'ExportScene'.

Create an Empty node, put it to 0,0,0 and hit Ctrl + A to 'Apply Transforms' (This resets the metadata on the object to make the values that you see import into the engine as you see them, otherwise you can have additive values, changing the scale of your items in the game engine).

Apply Transforms to your mesh object too, then move the mesh object to be a child of the parent Empty Node (Will look similar to the screengrab of the Blender file I had open to hand).

You've mentioned you've used Booleans, this can sometimes add a modifier to the mesh object (blue wrench icon in the properties). If you have data in there that isn't 'Armature' for skinned weight meshes you can have export issues even without an error log.

There can also be data bloat in the 'Green Triangle Section', make sure you have a single UV data input in the UV section. Also double check you don't have multiple Vertex data inputs.

To fix this (see image 2), click the little drop down and 'Apply' the modifier. This will delete the data reference but maintain the changes to your mesh object. It's good practice to Apply Transforms again after doing this operation. (Ctrl + A).

Now you should have an Empty (3 line icon, you can rename it to ExportScene), with your mesh object as a child without any modifiers in the modifier stack. To export, right click the Empty object and 'select hierarchy'.

Then go to the Export .Nif settings (See image 3), for a weapon you won't need 'weight' data, I always export with mesh set to Internal for testing first, it means you can test from CK to ingame a lot faster and when it comes to submitting you can use Nifskope to convert it to an External mesh and place it in the Geometries folder when the time is right.

For now, see if this gives you the mesh previewing in Nifskope and we can troubleshoot from there.

[normal steeple]

Has anyone tried selling keys from a Kiosk? I have that working where it creates a quest to visit your new home, etc.. but the issue I am running into is the key is always available to buy again. I have tried creating a global variable, then updating it's value to 1 when sold, then added a filter to not show the item in the kiosk if the variable is set to 1, but that hasn't worked. Is there a function I can run to re-check that variable? Maybe it's cached?

[thick plaza]

@surreal storm Can you send me a quick message. Got a question about Tiny Reasons to Explore, the space part.

[warm bolt]

@normal steeple

Different issue now.... with custom clothing and i can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

i have new uniforms, they work on PC fine. I've resaved the DDSs per the xbox format rules (_c bc1 (sRGB), _n bc5 (linear signed), others bc4 (linear unsigned)...I also created the external geometries for each nif.

Oddly once I changed the DDS types, now the clothing and AA pieces are invisible in the CK, but they still work in game on PC. I'm able to create the xbox ba2 without errors, load it into the game on xbox, and craft at the industrial workbench, but when going to wear the outfit the part assigned as 'body' shows the torso as invisible, and the accessory items are just not showing up, the body shows wearing the 'bethesda underwear' and the accesories are invisible)

I can't find any info on what exactly should be packed into the xbox main ba2...i've tried a few different combos (from JUST geometries, to everything (geometries, meshes, materials, and textures))..for PC the main ba2 has everything but textures, which are in the" - textures.ba2"

sorry if any of this doesn't make sense, I'm new 🙂

[hoary lava]

Is this for starfield?

[warm bolt]

Yes. Sorry, did i get the wrong channel?

[hoary lava]

Are the file naming conventions as follows; _normal, _metal, _rough, etc?

[warm bolt]

They are the short hand _n not _normal, etc..

[hoary lava]

_normal, _rough, _metal, height, etc. Rename them, also make sure you pack textures and materials. Should work.

[warm bolt]

Oh, ok. D'oh.....I hope its that simple 🙂

Thanks! I'll try that in between meetings

[hoary lava]

If not, feel free to reach out, I'm certain that's your issue though.

[warm bolt]

So the main Xbox ba2 is everything 'but' textures? I ubderstand the pc main vs texture ba2s, but not sure how Xbox uses them.

[hoary lava]

I use an auto pack, but I believe so. Main is everything but textures correct.

[warm bolt]

There's an auto pack?

Ive been doing it file by file

Does there need to be a Xbox textures also? Or does creations share the textures ba2 across both?

[hoary lava]

Eh lol, there is, but many will tell you it's broken. My ck has always packed xbx for me in the default archiver under file/ pack files. Idk man, mine has always worked, but many of my friends use archive2 or pack file by file. Needs to be an xbx and PC pack.

I have also always used bc7 with no issues.

[warm bolt]

Ok thanks. My ck prompts fir pc main & textures, but only xbox main

[warm bolt]

I thought Xbox can handle bc7, so all this ba1. 4, 5 confused me but I figure..well, if that's what it needs

[hoary lava]

Yeah, everything I've ever made was bc7 with no issue, but, that's a hot topic in itself. Different strokes for different folks. Give it a shot, if it works for you great, if there's issues just convert over. Been awhile since I've published anything, so, there's that lol.

[sleek cliff]

👀

[hoary lava]

I'm alive! Sorta...

[sleek cliff]

Better than being completely dead!

Literally can not wait for this.

[warm bolt]

@hoary lava ok, I got home and gave the renaming a shot. Then realized everything needs renamed right? Ie: the .mat files point to the _c so I need to redo those to the _color reference right?

Will this mess with the .morph data also? Or as long as I don 't rename the mesh nifs will the morphs be ok?

[hoary lava]

@normal steeple question.

I don't believe so, but wait for confirmation.

[warm bolt]

Oh, shoot, sorry...been a long week already, got the wrong @

[normal steeple]

Ahhh morph data reflects the data of the vertice index in the .mesh / .nif. If you re-export your .mesh / .nif you'll need to re-export morph data. If you're using vanilla, as long as you don't change the .nif / .mesh reference the morph.dat file will work fine

[warm bolt]

I will need to reexport (regenerate) the eternal geometry but not the mesh/nif...I think

[normal steeple]

Ok, if it's a custom mesh and you're happy with your morphs, just make sure you do it in one cycle; export .nif with external .mesh (these have to go together, don't mix and match .mesh files in the .mesh directory input of the .nif etc...) then export the morph.dat after that initial .nif with external geo

then you'll have a synced vert index across your files

Let me know how it goes 🤞

[warm bolt]

Ok, thanks. ... its on day 7... lol

[normal steeple]

you're going pretty heavy haha

baptisms of fire are good though, as for the name convention stuff, there might be some specific reasons why a name convention would matter beyond just easy file location in the material editor but usually they're not a biggy with .mat files.

Try and keep things as close to vanilla formatting as possible and then when you come across a funky reason you might need a name convention (like vehicle/ship color swaps) you know what's different to reverse engineer from 🙏

[hoary lava]

Nah, you're good, I can help with materials etc. I just don't know much about the morph files. Textures will need the naming convention, but .mat files will be per part and can be named however you like. If starfield takes shorthand great, but I was under impression that changed so, I've always used _normal, _color, _rough etc.

[jolly torrent]

@sharp lynx Hello fren!!! I was wondering if that Pulse Rifle was coming anytime soon 😂

[fickle fossil]

why hasn’t anyone made an achievement friendly Place Doors Yourself mod yet?

[sleek cliff]

She’s making a what now?

[neat crow]

Because that would be stealing

[sleek cliff]

And STEALING, isn’t good.

[jolly torrent]

She kinda hinted she was making a BAD AZZ Pulse Rifle from Aliens and I have been in suspense ever since. Lol.

Kinda curious on something, too. Was Beth a lot more lenient on mods on Skyrim or something? I’m looking at some very….lets just say the modders were a little more proactive and brazen in the mods they created. I may have to wait until the weekend to get my load order back on this game, as I haven’t touched it since 2019 or so and my LO has vanished, but I’m operating under the assumption that all the mods I had installed for it are in my library. You have Legend of Zelda mods, Castlevania mods, but for Starfield, people are scared to make a mod that turns a pizza box into Pizza Hut. Not being a jerk, I’m just legitimately curious.

I’m almost sure that CFOs, CEOs, and COOs are too busy getting caught on camera at ColdPlay concerts cheating to care that their IPs are being utilized in video games, and a lot of those same fools look down their noses at gamers and think we’re all fat neckbeards with no lives holed up in Mom/Nana’s basement.

[jolly torrent]

@neat crow Let me see this “Shadows of the Past”, what is this about?!?!!

Anyone else have an issue with astrogate when doing a grav jump to a different system you get stuck in the grav drive effect and never reach your destination nor get a count down?

[woven burrow]

@little ridge can you please do something about the astra-19 sidearm mod. Not sure if it’s broken or what the deal is but it never seems to show up at any of the vendors.

[delicate quiver]

What kind of mods does starfield have?

[uncut sandal]

all kinds of stuff. You're better off just exploring the creations and seeing what there is. Theres youtube vids of people listing the most popular and highly recommended ones

[delicate quiver]

Similar to the fallout 4 mods?

[worldly furnace]

Fallout 4’s modding scene is way bigger than Starfield’s. It’s understandable because the game is 10 years old

[uncut sandal]

very similar range of mods, but not quite as many due to the game being much newer.

[worldly furnace]

Also Starfield is lacking animation mods. Because currently there are no tools

[delicate quiver]

Is there a creator club?

[amber sparrow]

Nah just verified creations

[jolly torrent]

A ton, but Skyrim has a ton of mods.

[jolly torrent]

Which is a cryin shame

[worldly furnace]

I’ve heard that Starfield geometry bridge blender plugin devs are working on a solution

But it would be better if Bethesda themselves release something

[jolly torrent]

It would be better if Beth were working on it. I would have thought by year 2 we would have seen it by now. Instead, for the two year anniversary, we just got a screen of text. 😂

[jolly torrent]

I guess it’s up to the modders to make this game amazing, which is what they have been doing for over a year now.

[worldly furnace]

Tools Bethesda releases usually only work in 3ds max. Which isn’t free. Community tools are usually made for free programs like Blender

[hoary lava]

Sorted out? Thought I'd pop in and ask.

[jolly torrent]

I just hope if modders are able to make the animations, if they can port that over to the Xbox. I desperately need some sort of mod that allows my character and Barrett take a long walk on the beach of Paradiso hand in hand.

Or shoot at least one that allows a dodge/roll for evasion or a cover mechanic. I would prefer more immersion/flavor to combat as opposed to a game of attrition. Shoot, even hand to hand combat would be appealing.

[zinc spade]

People wanted a modding paradise. Now mad they got it.

[jolly torrent]

How do you mean?

[sharp lynx]

People want lol

That's that

[oak plinth]

Anyone else ADHD and get about 70% through a mod, then think of another mod idea, then ditch the one they are working on to start the new one? Maybe one day I will finish one enough to release.

[timid temple]

very ADHD here, and what I do is I add the new idea to my project list and then keep working on the current mod. I have disallowed myself from working on a mod until the current one is finished, unless I'm legit blocked.

[oak plinth]

Legit plan there. Another issue I have is I start out with a rather small idea, then it grows, and grows, and grows, and I never really finish it. I did have an idea on one I'm working on now to block off a good portion of the location I am working on and finish it in chunks, then open up the other areas as I finish them. I just see too many squirrels.

[timid temple]

the notes thing can help with this. I used Notepad++ and have a tab for each mod idea/project. At the top is the name/goal, and then as I work I add notes like materials, concepts, etc. Scope creep tends to happen anyways but the notes can help you refocus if you start to stray from the original premise.

[oak plinth]

I'll give that a try. I really do like the one I'm working on, just need to focus. LOL

[timid temple]

big mood lol. I'm about to come off a month-long self-ban from the CK.

[oak plinth]

I get that! I took several months off, and have been back at it the last month or so.

[warm bolt]

Taking a mental break and went back to another in progress item. Maybe a day or two not thinking through it will help .. back to static item placement for a bit.

Hey guys I’m having an issue while making a mod I cannot figure out, so I created a new levelled list and added all the armour retextures and mashups I’ve made and after about a day of trouble shooting I solved all but one problem, for some reason the armour add on for my retextured security armour (upper) is appearing on other outfits in my levelled list which I did not assign it. I have about thirty outfits in my levelled list and only one uses the security armour upper in its armour add ons but I cannot figure out how to stop it from spawning on top of other outfits. (The security upper is a duplicate of the base game security armour upper with a new texture)

Whew! 3884 lines of PowerShell and I can batch repair all 5094 base game+DLC PSCs generated by Champollion after decompiling the provided PEX (and virtually any other PSC generated by Champollion from PEX).

Why did I do this? Because we don't have dlc001 (Shattered Space) PSCs from BGS, so we have to decompile the PEX, and Champollion doesn't understand Guards and a number of other things from Starfield, so we have to manually edit/guess at various things in order to properly look at quests and other things from Shattered Space in the CK. Now I can decompile with Champollion, repair with my Decompiled_PSC_Repair script, and get back to using the CK with Shattered Space PSC support.
I still need to polish up a few things and document proper usage since I'm sure people will use this for other decompiled PSCs (from mods, etc.), and then I'll share it on Nexus, I guess.
If I get around to it, I'll make a fork of Champollion and do this whole thing the "right" way, but for now this works 😁

(the 105 that were skipped were native and PEO scripts that Champollion mangles for very specific reasons and it's both unnecessary and possibly impossible to repair after the fact...nobody should ever need to decompile these from PEX, since they have them in original PSC form already in the archive)

There's one on Nexus: https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/articles/458

I'd like an option to always playing landing anims. I read on a modder's nexus comments that apparently the original landing markers trigger the animation but then they are replaced with duplicate markers that don't triggee the anim.

[oak plinth]

I do a quick save before landing when I'm outpost hunting. Then reload and pick a different spot. Or you can create an outpost right where you land and remove it and the marker goes away.

[safe sorrel]

Don’t those markets vanish after the 6th landing zone on the same planet?

[oak plinth]

I think so. I didn't remember the number, but I have noticed they start dropping off the more I have.

[boreal osprey]

If I remember correctly, didn't they say the only issue preventing that was how fast the terrain could load or something?

Or was that specifically talking about in atmosphere flying only?

[sleek cliff]

THEY DO? Jesus, I always say “naw I’m out, dawg, too many markers”

[gleaming musk]

Pretty new to the mods and the game itself. If anyone could help with the @Chrone mod for the Galbank archive do I need a key or something to access the archive because its not automatically activating the elevator? Just wondering if I missed something.

[sleek cliff]

Is there a mod to remove the godforsaken suit beeping?

[thick plaza]

dunno if this outfit is fan made or ripped but is this ODST armor accurate? about to finish it up tmrw

[lyric finch]

Excellent work
Work for both male and female morph??

[sleek cliff]

Now THAT is what I’m talking about, could do without the big ol’ emblem on the chestplate, but beggars can’t be choosers, this is BANGIN’

[sleek cliff]

Man, I can’t wait to see your NCR Ranger outfit.

[lyric finch]

The giant emblem isnt really needed but the armour looks good

[sleek cliff]

Absolutely adore the Helmet

Love the battle worn look

[jolly torrent]

That’s lovely, big dawg!!!! I can’t wait for the release.

[jolly torrent]

I have my fingers crossed.

[safe sorrel]

I’m not sure the exact number, but yeah after a certain point they clear out. Had to do that a few times when I was trying to get the right spot for multi resource outposts, and kept failing miserably at hitting the correct pixel

[sleek cliff]

LOVE IT, looks sick as hell

[sleek cliff]

@lyric finch looks sick AS hell.

[thick plaza]

almost done just getting screenshots

[sleek cliff]

Man, I can’t wait to see your NCR Ranger Outfit

Especially with how great this looks.

[lyric finch]

Looks stunning, when can we get thiss

[sleek cliff]

He said he’d finish it tomorrow, so sometime this week?

[sleek cliff]

Well damn, thanks, I’ll have to check it out because I HATE all the markers

HELL YEAH, here I go, off the Creations.

[thick plaza]

lemee know if there are any issues lol enjoy

[sleek cliff]

Hell yeah, Thanks!

[lyric finch]

@thick plaza using the armour now, should the armour have mod slots?

[thick plaza]

is it missing

[lyric finch]

It looks stunning on female morph (I don't have sliders anywhere past center though)

[lyric finch]

For me yeah, helmet has mod slots though

[thick plaza]

ah ok. i know what it is. ill look into later

[lyric finch]

Sounds good, armour is amazing though love it

[thick plaza]

https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/halo-infinite-mark-iv-5105b95cea144d978cbcfe66e0be18db yall want this one next

[lyric finch]

Would you be able to do that with a few skins? Different colours like black, blue, red.. etc..??

[thick plaza]

if the setup goes well then yea ill try to include a few skins

has no one done these?

[sleek cliff]

Nope.

Mostly Star Wars stuff.

[sleek cliff]

👀 is the NCR armor in there?

[thick plaza]

i gotta redo it lol

[sleek cliff]

Ah, fair enough, waiting for it with bated breath.

Can’t wait to look like a PROPER ranger and not look like glorified librarian

Yes! That’s right!!! Yes! Exactly!!!!!! At least have some decorum when it comes to properly and responsibly drinking wine!!!!!!

[sleek cliff]

Fair enough.

Can’t argue that

[nimble latch]

The odst armours are class but crafting them doesn't make much sense

Proper game and lore implementation would go a long way

[thick plaza]

nah

[sharp lynx]

Not everything needs to be lore friendly

[nimble latch]

It's better if it is

[sharp lynx]

It's like star wars, if you're committing to get those kinds of mods you should just deal with the fact of it obviously being out of place

[nimble latch]

There's plenty of stuff from star wars that could fit into starfield

[thick plaza]

Feel free to make a patch for it

I just read the comments of what ppl want and mod it in

[sharp lynx]

Ooh so if I gave you a lore friendly pitch you'd add it?

[nimble latch]

I might, that dude who did the one for the nasa suit showed everyone how it's done

[sleek cliff]

My boi Kaz desperately wanted that odst outfit.

And it feels lore accurate because it’s a pain in the ass to gather everything to craft it and that is COMMITMENT to the craft.

[thick plaza]

What resources would you prefer on the next mod

[sleek cliff]

Really anything is fine, it’s fun to have to search for crafting materials.

But that’s just me, could be different for anyone else

[sharp lynx]

[timid temple]

you sound like someone that would really hate my filk of Blunt the Knives from LotR 🤣

What’s that?

[timid temple]

gods, I did it for giggles years ago to use on a friend of mine that's a wine snob, but it involved smashing the bottles on the floor and splashing the wine on the doors and swapping some for rum or watering it down, etc

basically redid the lyrics to be about that instead of ruining Bilbo's cutlery

[boreal osprey]

After some research and talking with some modders. anagy said they started working on a port of their FO4 mod switch framework to SF https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/90676 Looking forward to it 🤩

[sleek cliff]

By the way, meant to ask, how does that work anyhow? Just outta pure curiosity.

[jolly torrent]

No!!! No smashing wine bottles on the floor!!!!

I was falling asleep at the beginning, but I taught them a lesson they won’t soon forget.

[thick plaza]

@sleek cliff these slots right

[sly ocean]

OK, Decompiled_PSC_Repair v3.00 has been published on Nexus:
https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/14894

Decompiled_PSC_Repair is a PowerShell script that repairs PSCs that were improperly decompiled by Champollion due to its incomplete support for Starfield. This allows you to, for example, decompile Shattered Space PEX files with Champollion, repair them, move them into the appropriate folder, and have the CK finally load them properly.

Now I'm going back to looking at Shattered Space quest fragments, which is what I was trying to do in the first place before I somehow ended up building a 3000-line PowerShell script to repair broken decompiled PSC 😁

Enjoy!

[fossil hazel]

Question

How come there are almost no mods that touch the starborn on xbox?

[sly ocean]

You'll have to be a little more specific. There are currently 287 mods for XBox that have something to do with Starborn:
https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/all?platforms=XB&sort=created_at&text=starborn

[fossil hazel]

Lemme specify, im having trouble finding any replacers or anything that alters the appetite (other than color) of the starborn armor and npcs

[strong oak]

Look where you were directed to there are some.

[sly ocean]

Did you mean to say "appearance" rather than "appetite"?

If so, then as @strong oak said, there do appear to be quite a few that do that. Try the link above and see if anything strikes your fancy.

[fossil hazel]

i was hoping you wouldnt notice…

I also just cannot find one, the closest there is are ones that alter the color or standalone ones but nothing that replaces the armor with something else

[hoary lava]

Dredgeborn is a good one.

[fossil hazel]

Under different names then huh

[sharp lynx]

I just so happen to be making a mod that does this

And it not only lets you keep the vanilla starborn outfits but allows you to inject the ones I've made.

[sleek cliff]

Yeah, pretty sure that’s what he was talking about

[green pumice]

Any hints? 3 piece? 👀

[slim sun]

Thanks, bookmarking this for later 🙏

I was just looking through the Shattered Space source yesterday actually, to see the difference between the COM_Andreja_Update globals Bethesda added to Starfield.esm. Those are quite handy if anyone wants something in their mod to react to where you are in the DLC without having to have ShatteredSpace.esm as a dependency.
Here they are if anyone was curious:COM_Andreja_Update01 = 1: Been to Dazra/Va'ruun'kai COM_Andreja_Update01 = 2: Completed the Serpent's Path and spoke with the council COM_Andreja_Update02 = 1: Completed the DLC main quest COM_Andreja_Update03 = 1: Player is an enemy of House Va'ruun
Note that the game itself uses COM_Andreja_Update01 > 0 for testing if the player is Promised in a few places, although that should really be COM_Andreja_Update01 > 1

[jolly torrent]

Furthermore, that’s something else this game has been missing. Showing off the sewers/ plumbing/infrastructure of these cities. Mad props to that modder. I remember back in the day, there was a mod for Skyrim called Skyrim Sewers, that allowed you to get from point A to Point B without being seen. I don’t know. I’m weird like that.

[jolly torrent]

Is Guardian of the Grid worth it?

[sly ocean]

It does seem like a cool mod. I haven't tried it out and have a few more in my queue before I get to it, but let us know what you thought if you try it.

[mystic fox]

I hey guys I am trying to change faces for some npc’s but the changes aren’t showing up properly do I have to batch the nif and DDs that get created? I figured I didn’t because all the data is already in the game. I’m trying to figure out if that’s where I went wrong or if it is somewhere else.

[normal steeple]

Lmao I fly out tomorrow man, I'll be grounded and back to work on Friday 🤙

[jolly torrent]

Open question to all modders. I’m probably going to hit the save bloat glitch soon. Does anyone here know how to do presets for characters?

[safe sorrel]

You have to archive the DDS for them to show up in game. This had me scratching my head for a while too, but once the textures were in a ba2 everything started working.

I didn’t need to do anything with the nif, but I also didn’t do anything overly in-depth with the features editing

[mystic fox]

Thanks for the response , did you archive the nif as well or just the DDS

[safe sorrel]

I just did the DDS, and that worked fine for me

[neat crow]

I would archive both, depending on what you did the nif is needed too

I've been away from blender and the ck for awhile. What's the quickest way to get weapon models at scale into blender? Need them as scale reference for my weapon models

[sleek cliff]

@safe sorrel hi hi I saw your ship hab mod and it looks fantastic, I'm sure someone asked this already but is there a place doors yourself patch planned?

[safe sorrel]

It should work with PDY already, I used Vanilla snapping parts so that it would be compatible, and did a test with PDY which worked for me and should work for others too

[amber sparrow]

Oh awesome! I can't wait to play around with it then!

[safe sorrel]

If you do have problems with it let me know and I can patch it, but should be good to go

[sleek cliff]

The market kind of reminds me off the Citadel DLC from Mass Effect 3

[safe sorrel]

I hope that’s a good thing! I’m gonna make a shocking revelation, but I’ve actually never played the Mass Effect games

[sleek cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-blown-away-blown-back-gif-22009589

[safe sorrel]

Ok I looked up images and yeah similar vibe!

My inspiration for the market was trying to make something that felt like the concept art for Neon with the multiple floors, Blade Runner, and some of the Cyberpunk 2077 market places. Because I love the use of grunge and light in that game

[sleek cliff]

I definitely see the Kabuki Market vibes

I’m surprised there aren’t more Japanese or outright Asian influences and MORE neon and sleazy underbellies

[safe sorrel]

The market I was most thinking of ended up being the parts of Stadium in Dog Town, that are tucked away from the main area. I wanted the whole thing to look kind of ad hoc.

I was surprised at how few sketchy feeling areas were populated in Neon.

The upper platforms around Ebbside have such a great vibe.

I’ll often go wandering around them exploring, and wishing there was some more life happening in them to make the city feel more claustrophobic which it has to be from a lore perceive, and was the feeling I got from the original concept art for the city

[sleek cliff]

I loved Dogtown SO much.

For such a small place inside the stadium they really put their FOOT in it.

And I agree, Neon should be WAY sketchier

In Cyberpunk the city felt alive and vibrant.

Dogtown felt run down and dangerous.

Neon DESPERATELY needs a Black Diamond.

[safe sorrel]

I’m on a no doubt slow mission to build out some of those areas. I fell in love hard with the concept art for that city, and would love to see Neon get built out to more closely fit it.

[sleek cliff]

And I can’t wait to see it, the concept arts are almost always better than the end product.

Neon is supposed to be a pleasure city.

Just feels like oil rig with squatters

[safe sorrel]

I think that’s the nature of the beast. It’s usually hard to actually build the things that are drawn, especially without frying everyone’s hardware

[sleek cliff]

Engine limitations, yeah.

https://tenor.com/view/computer-home-office-trendizisst-out-of-order-pc-gif-21955146

Most people’s PC whilst running cyberpunk

[safe sorrel]

I do kinda like the rig with squatters feel!

It makes sense with the lore where it’s a glittering destination for the rich, and everyone supporting that eco system being left to craft what ever kind of life they can from the scraps.

To me it works well with the space frontier setting

[sleek cliff]

I DETEST the Astral Lounge, no self respecting rich person would want to MINGLE with peasants.

Lizzie’s puts it to shame.

[safe sorrel]

I always think of the Astral Lounge like Vegas or the Amsterdam coffee shops, where it’s more a tourist trap, and all the locals head to places like Madame Sauvages and Euphorika

[amber sparrow]

Honestly my only suggestion for further additions is a custom mission board in the black market that's smuggling jobs

[sleek cliff]

Our boy Bayu would absolutely have a PRIVATE club far from the common man.

[amber sparrow]

otherwise it's a gorgeous looking location

[sleek cliff]

Bayu could easily be the Mr.House of Starfield only far less charismatic

[sleek cliff]

Euphorika does well as a nice dive bar.

[safe sorrel]

That’s on the stretch goal list. I started poking around into getting something like that set up, but it’s gong to be a while before I’m able to make it work, (If I can at all)

I’m still pretty new to the quest side of things, and the radiant quests are their own tangled ball of stings to parse apart. Hopefully one day though

I enhanced all materials of all guns and melees in this mod. Not just for metal material, not just for some guns.
And this mod doesn't edit any weapon forms, which means it is compatible with all vanilla gun mods
What's more? If your weapon mods use the vanilla impact data, this mod can also enhance these weapons

[sleek cliff]

Modders are definitely gonna need the ani kit for that.

[hasty fulcrum]

and walking animations where it doesnt look like women got cactus under their arms

[sleek cliff]

Better walking animations would be cool

[jolly torrent]

Agreed.

[boreal osprey]

Yeah. I liked the hack and slash of Skyrim back in the day. But it needs some re-work in SF. I don't know what that looks like exactly, but there's room for improvement

[sleek cliff]

We definitely need better hack and slashing

Different Fighting Styles like in SR2 would be kick ass.

[slim sun]

If we could reliably combine animations you could definitely do something. Like with this unused "genuflect" animation from Shattered Space maybe. But I haven't been able to get multiple animflavors working at the same time all that well. You can do it with console commands like this sitting on the floor animation combined with the coffee drinking one, but on an actual piece of furniture this gets ignored the next time you re-enter the area.

[nimble latch]

Why does everyone go on about the animation tools? Has Bethesda said they're going to provide them? Skyrim and Fallout have both got custom animations without official tools

[sleek cliff]

It’s the most important thing in the world right now, THATS why.

[slim sun]

Fallout etc. used Havok animations, which there were tools for elsewhere. Starfield is different.

[hasty fulcrum]

cause it allows a lot of different types of mods. and both of those games has existing tools for it.

[hidden cipher]

I don’t know how to mod so I can’t make this idea/suggestion a reality so I’ll put it here for any creator who’s interested. I was thinking about a rising faction within the Crimson Fleet. Lead by a hardcore space pirate looking to fill the void left by Delgado and Navea. When I say pirate, I mean prosthetic eye, a cybernetic arm and leg . A 2330 version of Captain Hook. We are traveling through space by some random planet and we get a distress call saying that their mining outpost is being attacked by the Crimson Fleet. They start to give us some details about their operations. We hear gunshots and the transmission is cut off. We get to the planet and have to take out a few ships. We land at the outpost and the battle continues. After we take out the pirates. We examine the aftermath and realize this wasn’t an ordinary mining operation. A few survivors come out of hiding to introduce themselves and explain their operations. They have been commissioned by the UC to extract raw materials for a new experimental weapon. They have several facilities scattered throughout the starfield and theirs was the second to get hit by the new Crimson Faction. So we get a few clues and a couple of leads and investigate. We learn more about this new weapon, and we learn why the Crimson Fleet wants it. To defeat the UC and reunite the Crimson Fleet as a major force among the Settled Systems. So in short we bring down this new faction and prevent the rise of a new Crimson Fleet and bring those in UC that secretly want to build a super weapon to justice. Because creating this new weapon is against the Armistice Treaty. If someone creates this, just shout me out for the idea.

Darn. I was hoping the one on the right was something you were working on. I wanted that one for going to Paradiso.

Is there a mod that can give us Bath Houses of Starfield?!!!

[slim sun]

Yeah it's a shame this doesn't work properly without console commands, it would make the people on the beach more believable if they were reading, drinking etc.

[sharp lynx]

Agreed

[sleek cliff]

And didn’t act like brain dead NPCs

[jolly torrent]

I agree. Dam man.

I guess that’s why I have never been to Paradiso and I probably won’t until the animation tools come out.

[sharp lynx]

[jolly torrent]

I want my character to be able to partake in a volleyball sesh or do long walks on the beach with Barrett walking hand-in-hand like end of a Lifetime movie/rom com

@sharp lynx Hey Fren!!!!!

[sharp lynx]

Hewo!

[jolly torrent]

Lol

[sharp lynx]

Update for GH soon!

Vending machine on the way

[jolly torrent]

Dam it

When?!!

[timid temple]

Working on my next mod on stream tonight: https://twitch.tv/fenharellan13

[swift whale]

nice

[boreal osprey]

Before it was lip sync, now it's animation tools XD

[sleek cliff]

It’s the key to the golden city so to speak, the platinum chip to Mr.House, the Psycho to Cait

The bullet to the brain to the courier.

[jolly torrent]

I’m kinda wishing for the animation kit hard, too right now. I’m not sure why it’s not out yet. I would think on the two year anniversary of this game, Beth would’ve released it instead of some insipid text teasing a teaser. Like, that should have been their primary focus after they opened up Creations. I’m not sure what happened between FO4 and this game as far as Beth’s priorities, but FO4 was absolutely better handled.

[neat crow]

Aren't Skyrim and FO4 animation tools reverse engineered 3rd party solutions

which is also why it's not available for SF yet because they no longer use havoc for animations

[boreal osprey]

Yeah. It will open the flood gates to all kinds of possibilities

[sleek cliff]

A true Starfield renaissance.

https://tenor.com/view/solstice-frolic-hard-gif-14388687

[jolly torrent]

Yeah, IMHO, they should have had all of that in consideration when they were developing the game and before Todd opened his mouth about this game being “a modder’s paradise for the next decade”.

I work in FinTech. You never open your mouth about deliverables if you know you don’t have the bandwidth nor the technology to commit to it. That is also why I’m not a fan of Todd and more of a fan of modders. Sometimes it’s better to keep your mouth shut in some situations. There’s a lot of times where I feel the modders, such as yourself, and the fans, such as me, care far more about this game than the paycheck Todd got for this game.

[neat crow]

gotta disagree there

[jolly torrent]

And that’s fine, my guy. I’m still cool with ya! Lol

[jolly torrent]

You know you’re one of my top 10 favorite modders.

I just shoot straight from the hip and I’m super opinionated. Which is a personality flaw on me.

[neat crow]

aye all good! We all got our opinions!

[tame sparrow]

they did design SF to be a modder's paradise tbh
from the start, id imagine

[sleek cliff]

Based.

[sharp lynx]

No you're not allowed

[neat crow]

more or less lol

[neat crow]

[sleek cliff]

I’m just glad I’m not catching strays for once.

[tame sparrow]

i just think that they know enough that modding was gonna happen anyway
regardless of whether they support modding or not

and with how things are going and Creations actually doing what it was meant to do so far
I think they made the right choice with making sure SF is also designed for modding as well and not just expansions

[jolly torrent]

Absolutely. No hard feelings, big dawg.

[jolly torrent]

I think they did from the start, but I mean Starfield’s trajectory and support compared to FO4’s?!?? Lol. It’s totally night and day. Yol know I love this game to death, but in my eyes, Beth are not above criticism for how they handled this game. Truth be told, I actually like this game better than Skyrim, which is why I’m so critical of it, because it has unlimited potential that’s just being sat on.

[sharp lynx]

I don't see anything different tbh

They've handled it just like every other game

[jolly torrent]

I have to disagree. Lol

[sharp lynx]

That's fine

Im not seeing any examples tho lol

It took ages for the ball to get rolling with fallout 4 just the same

[jolly torrent]

They were far more focused on giving out content with FO4. They actually had a road map, they were far less inclined to “tease” things. It seemed that the likes of communication were more open with less guess work.

[tame sparrow]

thats fair
i just think theres a lot going on behind the scenes hence why BGS is always so quiet about their newer games

I think since this is their first singleplayer game that gonna be long term and its clear enough they are still figuring out how to make it work

dealing with Microsoft, Creations and the continuous development of future content
well... lets hope them being radio silent is all worth it later on

[jolly torrent]

I’m not going to get into this trap. IMHO there was a stark difference. I don’t like how they handled Starfield at all and I’m sticking to it. All of the DLC was out pretty much on schedule.

You know what, forget I said anything. NOTHING should be criticized. My bad.

Have a good evening everyone!

I’m about to hop into Starfield.

[tame sparrow]

atleast he likes playing SF lol

[jolly torrent]

I told Yol. I love the game. That is why I’m super critical of it because I LOVE it.

[neat crow]

sup girl

[sleek cliff]

To be fair, that was a lifetime ago.

[sharp lynx]

Hewo !

[sleek cliff]

No one remembers what 2015 was like.

[jolly torrent]

Criticism /=/ hate. Starfield is probably my favorite game since forever.

[jolly torrent]

Dawg, I remember 2015 like it was yesterday. Lol. I’m an old head.

[sharp lynx]

Just because there's not an update every week about what they're working on doesn't change the actual results, keep in mind the game has already had two entire new land vehicles added, mountains of bug fixes and a whole story dlc with side content also including additional quests.

[sleek cliff]

I graduated in 2015, but I don’t remember ANYTHING about it.

[jolly torrent]

And that’s why I give the modders so much respect because they are keeping this game alive.

[boreal osprey]

BGS isn't the same company anymore. A lot more devs and a big issue with a bloated middle management (like most office based companies now a days) that just kills efficiency. Devs rarely have 1 on 1 with Todd since his time is divided. I read one dev submitted a ticket to the higher ups to fix a trigger on a weapon to get permission. Didn't hear anything for 4 weeks and the trigger is still broken. Plus the poor devolpemnt roadmap with Starfield. Took them a long time to figure out what direction to take the game into. And then they eventually had to polish what they had. Hence a lot of one off mechanics. So I understand why they haven't gotten this stuff out in a timely manner.

[tame sparrow]

sadly, these days is not enough for everyone out there

[jolly torrent]

Fair enough and I legit understand your point, but I’m not asking for an update every week. I’m really not. That’s super unreasonable. However, give us something to be excited about versus teasing things that are vague.

[thick plaza]

2015/2016 mentioned?

Don't get me started

[sleek cliff]

Every man, woman and some Canadians knows I’m a lil unhinged, but respect where respect is due, modding is an art form.

[sleek cliff]

I don’t remember 2016.

But I unfortunately remember Mass effect andromeda.

[boreal osprey]

Feels like a life time ago lol

[jolly torrent]

Ugh. Please don’t remind me of that trash.

[tame sparrow]

sigh, just another one of those "too big syndrome" for AAA studios

not to mention a lot of dev positions now being filled by new ones
who now have to either create new ideas or pivot off of the existing ones

[sleek cliff]

Now, it may have been liquid ass, but they had some great spacesuits.

[jolly torrent]

Agreed

[sleek cliff]

Bruh, your ODST mod is HEAT and that USA helmet immediately makes want to provoke ashta and say “Hi! This is Johnny Knoxville! Welcome to Jack Ass!”

[boreal osprey]

Yeah, things seemed to have worked better in the Skyrim days when the studio was smaller and each dev had more free will and responsibility. I recently watched a vid where BGS did the "game jam" where everyone spent 1 week making whatever they wanted at the end of year. I'm surprised how many of Skyrim's mechanics/features came from that creative jam week that devs just made up.

[thick plaza]

Borderlands 4 and battlefield 6 next month. There's better options out rn

[sleek cliff]

Haven’t been hearing good things about BL4

[thick plaza]

yeah…. Lol

It’s still fun though so I suffer through it

[sleek cliff]

Well hey, if you like it, that’s what’s important.

[jolly torrent]

Yeah, that armor is 🔥 af!!!!

[sleek cliff]

I’m out here waiting on Tank’s Vending Machine, Nova’s Vigilance and Miiirty’s Heat.

[thick plaza]

Hahaha

[sharp lynx]

The vending machine will be additional content for GH

[tame sparrow]

I was hoping that was what some of SF's devs early on would do that as well, but as you aid earlier, Todd's time being divided doing other things and the dev team leaders having to wait for Todd's "decision-making", yeah it pretty clear this isnt the same team as the Skyrim team back then

all we can hope for now is that they got a ton of plans in works with their current teams and that we are still in for the next few years of content

[sleek cliff]

Saw that, it’s why I’m SO excited, I loves Vending Machines.

[sharp lynx]

Same LOL

I have some ideas for a full interactive outpost decor mod

[jolly torrent]

Thank you!!

[sleek cliff]

It’s why you’re one of the best, Tank.

[sharp lynx]

Many thanks!

Should have some nice content out soon.

[boreal osprey]

For sure

[sharp lynx]

Armor pack on the way

[sleek cliff]

Built an Armory JUST for the occasion.

[sharp lynx]

Borderlands lost me with 3

[sleek cliff]

That seems to be the general consensus.

[jolly torrent]

@sharp lynx Thank you!

[sharp lynx]

People complain about loading screens geebus was borderlands 3 the loading screen simulator on top of the game being layers of terrible. Game play was good tho

[sleek cliff]

And Randy out here wildin’ yelling at people.

[sharp lynx]

What they did to the franchise continuity is worse than the sequels of star wars imo

Oh starfield

[sleek cliff]

I HATE the sequel-Sequel trilogy.

I haven’t been this betrayed since I let Tomo live and he accidentally stepped on a landmine I left out

Poor guy turned into DUST.

Anyways, Let’s get back to Starfield.

GUNS

Everybody loves guns.

When are we getting The Dubstep Gun from Saints Row?

👀

Kill people with CRINGE

[sharp lynx]

Broken beer bottle mod

[sleek cliff]

now we’re talking.

New weapon mod “drunken savant”

10x speed, plus 20% damage resistance whilst intoxicated

[neat crow]

Been working on a new settlement, really early stages still though!

[jolly torrent]

The loading screens are the least of the game’s issues. Lol.

[tame sparrow]

nice
will this be on an existing system or you plan to add a new one?

[jolly torrent]

I laugh at the people complaining about loading screens.

[jolly torrent]

Nice.

[sleek cliff]

This…. Reminds me of something, I loves it.

[neat crow]

It'll be located on Nemeria IV-a

Rough size of the settlement part itself

[sleek cliff]

Will you be adding a bar?

👀

[neat crow]

There for sure will be a bar!

[sleek cliff]

The Rainbow Cadenza? Red Dirt Bar?

[neat crow]

So far I had in mind:

• TerraBrew
• Ship services tech
• A bar
• A player home
• A mine
• 2 or 3 shops
• 1 town hall main building thing
• fill the rest with NPC housing, decoration, green spaces etc.

[tame sparrow]

awesome
was hoping the dozen empty planets and moon ingame was for the modding community to add into

Keep up the awesome work

[sleek cliff]

HELL YEAH, everybody loves shops, are you onna give the shops funny names? Like Rag and Roll Clothiers?

[sharp lynx]

I thought it said, welcome to settlement lol

[sleek cliff]

Technically Legal Arsenal?

[neat crow]

Haven't settled on a naming scheme for the city yet but I do like that one lol

[sleek cliff]

Sick.

[neat crow]

https://tenor.com/view/madagascar-skipper-can-you-read-gif-22646390

[sharp lynx]

Sometimes

[neat crow]

I feel that

[sleek cliff]

Real.

[sharp lynx]

Tbf if the folks doing mod reviews can't bother to read why should I do it

That's a joke btw lol

[sleek cliff]

I mean, Centurion Arsenal and EIT clothing is SO basic.

[jolly torrent]

I need this meme for people at work. Lol

[sleek cliff]

I’d buy from a store called “Randy’s Good Guns Cheap”

[sharp lynx]

The best way to hide a sign is just put it about half a person height above eye level

Maybe half a car length

[sleek cliff]

Very American of you, Tank, I too measure things in car length.

[neat crow]

I personally prefer hamburger per spoon

[sharp lynx]

Measures in pallet

[sleek cliff]

I’m partial to “Bout’ Doberman Sized”

Or bout’ half a steak sized.

[sharp lynx]

About 3 dinner plates to your left

It'll be 2 wookies down the way

[sleek cliff]

I’ll take about 1 candy bar sized sandwich please

And 3 Pepsi’s amount of water please

[boreal osprey]

I am curious about what happened with that. There was a play tester who said a previous build of SF had significantly less loading screens.

[boreal osprey]

Is that a player home or town?

[boreal osprey]

never mind lol

[sharp lynx]

Borderlands 3?

[boreal osprey]

SF. I was just talking about loading screens in general

[sharp lynx]

I remember one mission I loaded from the ship to load to the map to load to 3 different regions all with loading screens

For borderland

[boreal osprey]

Yikes. I've only played BL 1 and 2

[verbal crater]

I don’t understand what the issue with loading screens is. Maybe it’s because I’m old. I’d rather have pics than move around my ship looking out windows like Astrogate. Pretty sure I’m in the minority here.

[boreal osprey]

Honestly, if the game was better in other areas, like the writing, people probably would have looked past the loading screens.

[tame sparrow]

i think its just the way the gaming environment is these days
with so many different games out now. its no surprise BGS would get a lot of flack for not having a ton of things that other games can do

[verbal crater]

Yeah, I’ve played a ton. I never finished the main story. I was incredibly bored and skipped past it. I’m not a fan of the lovey dovey stuff and getting married in a video game.

[sharp lynx]

Yea I don't have an issue with them. For borderlands it's different cause it's meant to be an fps ..... Walking though 6 loading screens for one mission is a bit much for an fps

[verbal crater]

Oh. That’s probably why I don’t get it. It had been a while since I played multiple games. I used to pour concrete and worked a ton. Probably after Madden 04 era I didn’t play except for Stronghold 2. I was given a PS4 pro about a decade ago and played every Fallout, God of War and Assassin Creed and that was it until I bought my Xbox a year ago. We used to play a ton of video games. My friends and I were that kind of group who played Perfect Dark and Goldeneye and made cardboard separators on the tv.

[sleek cliff]

As a minority in the minority, I have no issues except one, there’s no sliding down the ladders.

[sharp lynx]

Goldeneye lol

Those were the days

[sleek cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/goldeneye-n64-chop-gif-18885833

I miss Crash Bandicoot.

https://tenor.com/view/crash-bandicoot-ctr-i-like-it-i-like-gif-15528608

[tame sparrow]

oh totally
you are prob better off doing what you do with the games you play

these days, i can tell you with so many options and genre of games to play, you'd be surprised how many people, even on here, are complaining about how other games can do better than BGS's games

but it is what it is now and i thik its clear enough SF in this case just isnt for everyone
and they should just stick to playing the game they prefer (yet a lot of them still come back to play SF even if they didnt like it for some reason)

I for one already expected SF to be the way it is and was fully prepared for it
so now its a matter of what BGS does next in the next content they release

and knowing how modding evolves with time, im also excited to see what the modding community cooks up as time goes on

[verbal crater]

I made the mistake of watching a review of Starfield before I bought the Xbox. I was pumped before it came out. The reviews ruined it at the time. Starfield kept coming up when I was on my phone so I watched some videos on mute simply to see the game. Now that’s all I do. That’s also why I had never played Dead Space until last week. I like that game so far. Now I see Mass Effect on sale as well. Not sure about that one yet. I’m going to have a lot of free time this winter so I’m trying to plan ahead.

[tame sparrow]

sounds like a fun time, bud

[verbal crater]

I’ll tell ya a mod that would be cool

I like that suit a lot

[boreal osprey]

Does anyone understand how the body and facial morphs work? I'm curious if it's plausible for SF to get the same treatment other games did. Like CBBE, UNP, face overhauls, etc.

[tame sparrow]

with modding...or Creations in this case for console folks
give it some time, and im sure a fine modder will make it happen

[verbal crater]

There’s that Milky Way mod. It says it has physics. I thought about downloading it to see if a fat as hell spacer running from me shooting at him would be funny.

[verbal crater]

I would not use anything else. Just like Fallout I always had the Duster.

[tame sparrow]

fair enough
im holding off on using any Creations at the moment coz i wanna see what BGS is working on first
heres hoping the new Terran Armada expansion is still happening this year, fingers-crossed

[verbal crater]

I bet. He did say yearly DLCs

[tame sparrow]

Yessir

im hoping thats the case still
but with how quiet they have been.... well, ill take anything new from them at this point
(that isnt jsut a patch update lol)

[oak plinth]

Has anyone setup a custom resource delivery mission? I have been digging through all the quests looking for one, but I haven't been able to find any to use as an example. I can probably figure out one that allows you to delivery it to a person, but I would like to setup a cargo link. Maybe those aren't setup as quests?

[jolly torrent]

Red sky Era tonight. We vibin.

[neat crow]

It'll include a player home too! Can't make a whole settlement without a player home, that's my thing after all!

[craggy panther]

Hello! Maybe someone can point me in the right direction, would it be possible to create a mod that allows for specific example, when im in the middle of a jump, i can press croutch to engage a booster to arrest my ascent? my char has a very high jump, and sometimes id like to be able to stop the ascent?

[boreal osprey]

Didn't realize it was a whole settlement until I scrolled down and saw the whole wall XD Looking forward to seeing it! I had a overhaul project in mind for the planets with main settlements. And expansion/overhaul of the cities at the center of the map, then having all kinds of poi's in a big radius around the cities. Farms, towns, facilities, caves, etc... Just to capture some of that organic exploration from Elder Scrolls and Fallout.

[mystic fox]

Hey if crimson flyboy is on here I wanted to thank him for making a video reviewing my mod

[jolly torrent]

Ahhhh yeah, French Gentleman out here doin it right. I’m downloading this as soon as I get home.

[boreal osprey]

I haven't seen him anywhere except his own server.

[mystic fox]

that would make sense, my downloads doubled since his video so i think there is a decent amount of people who watch his videos to see new mods.

[boreal osprey]

I don't know if you're in it but he has a link to his discord in the description of his vids.

[mystic fox]

Thanks for the heads up I did not know that

[sleek cliff]

He’s occasionally in the BGS server.

Rarely even.

[sly ocean]

For a second, I thought you created a racetrack. And now I'm wondering what it would take to make a vehicle-racing mini game mod...

Are there any mods that add/modify the heavier UC space suits to expand the armor plating? I like the armor plating, but I'd love if it was on both sides instead of just one.

[peak pawn]

@neat crow this isn't a huge deal, since most people hate this quest anyway, but mr. starsap can't finish his tour on new homestead because the shuttle service landing pad is in the way of his route. just thought i'd let you know.

loving the mod so much though, makes my early game roleplay much better as i want to earn my ship.

[neat crow]

I'll see if I can fix that! Giving him a new path to walk

[peak pawn]

cool! it's nothing urgent i just noticed it when i was trying to get my persuasion skill challenge done and took the tour.

[sly ocean]

Looks like someone else already mocked up what I mean in Photoshop:

[nimble latch]

This guy's environmental mods are top notch, haven't inspected the esp files yet but the modularity of this neon one is great

I'd love to try the gagarin one but it isn't compatible with settled systems shuttle service for now

[nimble latch]

Would you consider an optional file to include an SSSS stop? Or is this place more off the grid?

[neat crow]

the exterior terrain makes this rather difficult if anything, but thats defo something I would look into

[neat crow]
