[untold field]

The problem with his way is that he is affecting peoples income. He has a solid followership that trusts his reviews.

And I just don't like people who throw around criticism right and left but then block any criticism towards them.

Again, maybe Youtube is having an issue but I kind of doubt that.

[jolly torrent]

What’s the name of your stream?

[jolly torrent]

I can’t stand hypocrites, either.

[untold field]

https://www.youtube.com/live/k19vrN56zgA?si=KI-bhAPiF6ANXNjI thats my stream from yesterday

[normal steeple]

Will catch up this evening 🤙

[cold vault]

Please do not name and shame

[untold field]

Anyway, I am really baffled how quickly the CK loads since I have a new X3D CPU.

That's really impressive. My old CPU wasn't that bad, but the X3D seems to affect a lot compared to the normal X Ryzens

[last ledge]

@untold field youtube has started to recommend me your stream 😄

[untold field]

Its about time! Haha 😄

[last ledge]

I've been searching a lot of starfield related vids, the algorythm decided it is time ^^

[untold field]

Just saying, if you have any criticism, I will disable my comments.
Jk, if I get something wrong, please always correct me.

Is there any way to select and copy multiple things in Nifskope?
I really miss how easy it was to edit stuff with Outfit Studio.

[jolly torrent]

I worked rather someone correct me instead of being snarky/insulting towards me. But then again, homeboy didn’t even bother to read the directions of the mod.

[true merlin]

Any solution?

[slim sun]

^ More importantly, isn't this something QA should be picking up if it's a known issue?

Surely it wouldn't take much to do a quick check and make sure the achievement-friendly plugin filename isn't the same as the normal version.

[lyric finch]

I remain hopeful to see Vigilance in the near future

[timid temple]

afaik, mod author needs to reupload with a different name, and you'll need to remove all associated files to get back to a clean state

[nimble latch]

QA doesn't exist

[sharp lynx]

Imagine, you've chosen your career path to review mods and you can't even do the bare minimum of reading about the mods you cover.

[nimble latch]

Tbf lads he's made one mistake it's not the end of the world

[untold field]

Lol "one" mistake

[sharp lynx]

LOL def not

On a more positive note, modding is fun

And you all are awesome

[untold field]

[jolly torrent]

Lol. For some reason I always LMAO when TG be throwing shade.

[jolly torrent]

Wait…..I’ve seen your content before!!!! I never put two and two together!!!

[untold field]

Hah 😄

I am spreading like a disease. Mod user, mod reviewer, mod maker

[nimble latch]

Is review verified creators coming back at all

[untold field]

And I am bad at all of it

[jolly torrent]

Not at all. Lies!!!

[untold field]

No, for various reasons I decided to abandon that. I mean, after a whole month there were like 3 people on it anyway, so not much interest.

[nimble latch]

Fair enough

[jolly torrent]

@nimble latch What was the issue with secret staryards dirty laundry?

[sharp lynx]

Bruh lol

[untold field]

Afaik (correct me if I am wrong) there was no single dirty appearal item in it. Very much false advertisement.

[sharp lynx]

Wild

Check out what I made

[neat crow]

usually stuff is only getting tested standalone in my experience

[untold field]

Noice

[neat crow]

also working on yet another home

[last ledge]

even 300 years in the future, children will still play with toy soldiers it seems

[sharp lynx]

You bet they will, but who's to say children are playing with them LOL I can see UCSEC having a few of these sitting around their office

[slim sun]

You'd think a check like that, which could be easily automated, would be a no-brainer though wouldn't you. Especially if it's a known issue.

[last ledge]

men only grow older, but never up

if starfield wasn't a protected trademark, you could 3d print and sell these 😄

[untold field]

You still could, as long as nobody catches you 😛

[sharp lynx]

I mean, I could also make a huge collectables mod for folks

There's gonna be 100s of em

[last ledge]

finally, we can recreate the colony war in our own player homes

[untold field]

We need mech figurines

[sharp lynx]

I can do that lol

[nimble latch]

No quest, just a poi placed on a random planet with no indication. When you finally do find it, it's just 5 landing pads with random loot chests placed down in the CK. Then there's two 'mechs' protecting the place which are just 2 robots scaled to like 10 which are essential and can't die.

Can we get a Mini Lucky 38?

[untold field]

Lol

[sharp lynx]

My mods work for plenty of people

[untold field]

Imagine reacting like that to criticism when your whole deal is to criticise others

[sharp lynx]

Because of your video I've been getting personally harassed

I was also commenting on the current conversation didn't start it

[lost bear]

I have never ever told anyone to harass any creators i cover, even ones that are extremely questionable. I stopped covering your mods when I had many peoppe reach out to tell me they didnt work on xbox. After doing some digging I found out ig wad a common issue for console players

My spelling sucks lol

[sharp lynx]

And you didn't even bother to confirm it, imagine, how about working with mod authors to get these issues solved instead of just throwing shade at people

[lost bear]

If you dont like how I review my content then dont watch it, pretty simple

No shade was ever thrown. Just
Honest opinion.

[untold field]

If you don't like how mod authors do their stuff dont buy it.

[uncut cedar]

ok let's stop here as this is turning into an argument

[neat crow]

uhhh guys that's getting harsh isn't it

[sleek cliff]

I’m frightened.

[untold field]

My bad, I am very sorry for starting this. It just didn't sit well with me to see creators being represented like that. I honestly hoped for a more constructive discussion than this. I will not talk about it any further here.

[lost bear]

Am I allowed to respond to that @uncut cedar

[sharp lynx]

For the hyla II mod

[uncut cedar]

No, let's all move on. I will go through and delete the arguing posts..

[sharp lynx]

Thank you kraken

I responded to conversations already going

[sleek cliff]

You know what I want? A mini Nuke decoration

[lost bear]

@sharp lynx if you would like to continue this ill dm you, if not then fair enough

[last ledge]

look, we all can and probably have opinions on each other, but this is not going to solve anything if we argue here - if anyone is interested in changing anyone's opinion they are free to DM each other, but don't do it here

[sharp lynx]

I'm perfectly fine with that.

[uncut cedar]

I appreciate it everyone.

[sharp lynx]

I put a lot of time and effort into my mods and spend months hand making my own assets, sure sometimes there are bugs, but there's bugs in everything, the game itself has bugs, I always aim to make my mods as best as they can be.

[sleek cliff]

That’s the only thing I miss from FO4 a random raider having a fat man and it whizzes past me

[last ledge]

preposterous, there are no bugs in a Bethesda game

only features

[sleek cliff]

What a pansy ass, pressing charges for being magic lifted

[neat crow]

some people just don't appreciate magic, those pesky Nords

[sharp lynx]

All I know is I don't spend months of my life working on these for them to be a broken mess.

[last ledge]

clearly, that is because magic is illegal in a nasa-punk game

[sharp lynx]

If it is broken kindly tell me and I will fix it

[last ledge]

bro was a redguard at best, but I guess they don't appreciate magic either

[sleek cliff]

Looked like an Argonian to me.

[sleek cliff]

When I freeze time they don’t have a problem, god forbid I want people to have a Neo moment

[neat crow]

you seen the screenshots of my new home? I feel like that's a place you like

[last ledge]

well, if you freeze time for them you are suddenly just too fast and there are no speedlimits in starfield

[sleek cliff]

Have not, let me take a wee gander, I walked in to The Flying Tank Crisis of 2025

[subtle jungle]

Speaking of vibin. I have finally finished setting up my character that I intend to live and work out of Selenite Peak.

[sleek cliff]

This looks so cozy.

[sleek cliff]

Bruh, it literally has PEAK in the name, I’m definitely onna retire there

[sleek cliff]

If I lived in Starfield, I’d be trying to start up a racing league

[jolly torrent]

Total cap. TG’s mods have always worked for me and I’m on Xbox Series X.

[last ledge]

I thought that already existed? who completes the unity run fastest meta racing league

though only starborn can compete I guess

[sleek cliff]

Man, I hate the Unity so much.

[normal steeple]

Oh boy, what I miss?

[last ledge]

everytime I go through the unity I get the feeling it exists to mock the players for repeating the game again

[sleek cliff]

Nothing good.

[sleek cliff]

I DETEST knowing all the answers but not being able to use them

[last ledge]

you def missed some of TG's sneak peek screenshots of her new creation

but she deleted them all

[sleek cliff]

I’m sad I missed it.

When she drops previews it’s hype as hell

[normal steeple]

I am partial to the sneak peeks, TG and I chinwag from time to time 🤙

Very cool stuff as usual (scared to mention incase of spoils)

[last ledge]

yeah - it feels like the devs rubbing it in your face that there are actually no real choices and whatever you do you can't actually influence the outcome

I mean, I got the universe where ||everyone is dead|| and then I go through the unity, but the whole crew is there and myself tells me how constellation continues to spread the word about the artifacts yada yada

[sleek cliff]

It’s why the refuse the Unity, it’s the dumbest thing to me and the worst part! All of constellation wants you to go! Like, no, leave me alone, I like my life and stuff, you want to go? Take the artifacts and piss off

[last ledge]

and I'm like "bro, you know thats not possible in this universe"

[timid temple]

nifskope sneaky peeky of an object for my next mod:

[sleek cliff]

It’s why I downloaded the place armillary mod, left the artifacts at the ass end of the galaxy

[sleek cliff]

Bruh, I love chests, could have phrased that better

[neat crow]

you all really excited about that settlement huh, going to continue working on it once the home is done!

[sleek cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/starfield-hype-gif-21825540

It’s gonna be a joy to live somewhere not affiliated with the FC or UC

[neat crow]

December was a bit ambitious so it's likely not coming before next year, wanna get it done right!

[sleek cliff]

SHOOT, take all the time you need

The Peak is onna be Peak

[neat crow]

turns out building is the easy part for me, writing a bunch or characters and quests not so much lol

[surreal storm]

funny enough i increased the scope of my own creation and struggling with that part as wewll

[sleek cliff]

Have you considered basing some characters off people in here?

No shortage of colorful personalities

[neat crow]

That is true, but that also doesn't enhance my 5 year old writing skills

if only this was in German, I know all the fancy German words!

[timid temple]

last time I ran a DnD game I basically cribbed off Morrowind's MQ to make the big quest for the group

[sleek cliff]

I actually used to be a writer back in the day, I won a few awards for short stories, if a FOOL like me can write a thing, you could definitely write up HEAT

[timid temple]

find a place in the game or in other games that's similar to what you're building and then look at the quests those games use there

[sleek cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-writing-gif-24533171

Literally you writing heat.

[timid temple]

I always hype myself up about my fanfic etc by reminding myself that if Twilight can get published, then I'm not in danger of being a "bad author"

[sleek cliff]

Didn’t Steph write a gender bent Twilight?

If THAT can exist

[timid temple]

If The Eye of Argon can exist in the world, then I can certainly muster the courage to write stuff

[sleek cliff]

Then everyone can be the next Shakespeare

[timid temple]

and if you don't know what that is, find a youtube video of people trying to read it because omg

also I thought the quest for Rachel was fun

(might be a bit biased there tbh)

[sleek cliff]

I think, for a small town like The Peak? I think of Goodsprings from New Vegas

[nimble latch]

No harm in adding some characters who don't speak English as long as the player doesn't mysteriously understand them

[neat crow]

Twilight is so blatancy obvious just the fetish of the author, it's so cringe to me lol

[sleek cliff]

A kindly doctor, a witty bartender and a rough and tumble lass that takes it upon herself to protect the town

[timid temple]

Or go the route of Gnisis and stick a guy in the river who would like you to please get him back his pants

from the lady that he spurned, iirc

[sleek cliff]

She was definitely feeling some type of way writing those things

And don’t even get me started on Jacob, that dude was WEIRD

[surreal storm]

that's a really nice idea. i'm fluent in 5 languages and this could make me finally use them all

[sleek cliff]

and hey, there’s 3 characters, 2 brothers fighting over the girl in town

[timid temple]

can I ask what 5?

[neat crow]

gotta place a angry German somewhere now, don't I?

[sleek cliff]

yes.

Make them the banker.

Germans love banking, Beer and Lederhosen, haven’t been to Germany in years

[neat crow]

thats what the rest of the world thinks of us anyways

[sleek cliff]

I only was in Germany for a few days so I didn’t really get a chance to SOAK in anything about it.

I did get to see and pray at the Cologne Cathedral, that was fun.

[neat crow]

we're a bunch of grumpy beer drinkers, you didn't miss much!

[sleek cliff]

Doesn’t that fly for the Irish too?

[timid temple]

huh. Sounds like I'd have trouble surviving in Germany, considering I'm mildly allergic to hops

But I do love my potato salad

[jolly torrent]

Is Farseer any good?

[sleek cliff]

I’ve heard NOTHING good about it.

[sleek cliff]

I had a Bratwurst, that was funny

I looked at it and said it’s just a Salchicha

[neat crow]

Bratwurst good too

[timid temple]

I feel like that's a bit insulting to both

[neat crow]

you need to try Mett

[timid temple]

then again, I'm thoroughly spoiled by Portuguese choriço

[sleek cliff]

I read that SO wrong.

[sleek cliff]

Damn, I do love a good Chorizo

[timid temple]

chorizo is not the same as choriço. I must fight you over this on my partner's behalf (he's the Portuguese one between us) 😆

[sleek cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/yu-gi-oh-duel-yugi-anime-gif-7357665

Man, I have personal beef with the Portuguese, I tried to learn the language and my co worker made fun of me for butchering the language then I swore VENGEANCE on Portugal

[timid temple]

which portuguese?

Everyone keeps telling me PT-PT is hard, but I've been having a blast learning it. One of these days I'll get around to adding Portugal things to Starfield too

[sleek cliff]

I tolerate the Brazilians because they have good steakhouses

[sleek cliff]

Shoot, I’ll take anything that keeps old earth culture alive

[timid temple]

I almost used a caravel as my base model for Sail the Stars, but the proportions weren't great for my end goal

[sleek cliff]

I had to enter Portugal many times for my old job and every time I took a swig from my trusty flask because I couldn’t understand a WORD half the time

Was I drunk? Were they drunk or were we all drunk because man words were HARD

[sleek cliff]

That mod reminds me of treasure planet.

Because BAM, hoist those sails, time to pilfer some BOOTY from innocent star travelers

[timid temple]

it's supposed to 😆 Literally had screens from the movie in my reference folder

[sleek cliff]

That movie was hype as hell when I was a kid

[timid temple]

When the original Ancient Mariner mod dropped, my Sail the Stars mod was the thing I wanted most

didn't think I'd be the one to make it, ngl. Last year I didn't know how to 3d model when that dropped. Only learned in Sept 2024

[sleek cliff]

That was a pretty solid mod, lots of WOOD

[timid temple]

I went on a texture adventure finding those wood patterns (for Sail)

[sleek cliff]

I also love the record player

SO much.

[timid temple]

One day someone with scripting ability will make it so that the record player and other music devices in the game can play music from our PCs

[sleek cliff]

IRL I love records, I have about 150 in my collection

[sleek cliff]

I’d be blasting Expedition 33 music so hard.

Me and the bois on our way to murder the paintress The Hunter

I mean, I don’t want to discourage from it, my buddy Kaz played it and said the voices felt very AI, cool concept, but the voices acting felt phoned, I think he ended up getting a refund

Man the mods are really out for me today...

We are simply here to ensure everyone follows the #rules

[neat crow]

I can see why mine got deleted but why yours lol

[sleek cliff]

I’m a weapon man, Nem, I loves weapons

I’m big IFF on Quest mods

Any and all, but if there’s a weapon involved then I’ll dive in.

[untold field]

Probably not english enough, but it is just the name of the dish

[sleek cliff]

I don’t care, I love GUNS.

[jolly torrent]

Lol. Okay. Well, thanks for the heads up. At this point I’m going to sit it out unless some overhauls are made. I didn’t even know Beth gave refunds on mods. Lol.

[jolly torrent]

I love Mr. Bean!!!!!

[sleek cliff]

I recommend asking him, he played it through, don’t just take me word for it.

@lyric finch Preten Pair has a QUESTION

[jolly torrent]

I mean, it had to have been a not so pleasant experience if he asked for refund and Beth obliged lol.

Shoot, if there were a mod that included Mr. Bean in various cities that you show up in (Akila, NA, Titan, Cydonia) in a “Where’s Waldo” fashion, I’d pay handsomely for that. And when you try to ask if he’s following you after the third time you see him he makes a weird sound with an accusatory look. Lol

[sleek cliff]

I love Mr.Bean

[sleek cliff]

I gots a question about the peak, Nem

[jolly torrent]

@lyric finch Was Farseer that mid? Lol

[neat crow]

which would be?

[sleek cliff]

Will The Peak have a mayor we can harass?

[neat crow]

Yes

Hoo Ray! Harassment!

Wait, no, should’ve phrased that better

[neat crow]

https://tenor.com/view/hmm-suspect-gif-22611582

You should base the mayor on one of the mods

Maybe The Lotad One.

[neat crow]

I don't know any of them

[untold field]

Lol

[sleek cliff]

Fair enough, what if you make the mayor an old fart we accidentally kill after using a Starborn power and we have to hide the body and help rig an election?

Jokes aside, would be funny to accidentally step in it not even 5 minutes in

Starfield does a lot, but have we ever hidden a body?

[untold field]

I dont think so

I feel Bethesda should use their physics system a lot more anyway

Moving stuff, throwing stuff, hiding stuff, solving puzzles etc. Could do so much with it

[sleek cliff]

I love neon because I love throwing people off the platform

[untold field]

Bru

[sleek cliff]

Chasmbass need to eat too

[nimble latch]

Would love to see this! I feel like Starfield is the perfect game to represent all sorts of cultures

[sleek cliff]

Someone should mod in the bridge of nations

[untold field]

Man sometimes I doubt that there is anything in my brain after all. I am urrently editing a mesh and the back of the mesh was in the way of a scope. So I went into blender and removed parts of the mesh.

Went into the game, all good. Until I wondered why there are still parts in the way of the scope. Then I realised I removed parts of the mesh at the front, not the back.

Ooh hi fren

[untold field]

I wished we had physics on weapons in Bethesda games

I want weapon slings

[sleek cliff]

Like, when you bash someone you get blood on your weapon?

[untold field]

Different game but TOW2 seems to have some decent how is it called again when the characters lose limbs and stuff

[sleek cliff]

Let’s not sleep on RDR2

That had great physics

[untold field]

No, like weapon slings that swing without animations.

[sleek cliff]

Ah, okay, I get it now

[untold field]

Although weapons getting dirty would be nice too but idk if thats physics? Not an expert

Battlefield 6 does something like that

[sleek cliff]

Personally, I’d love to be able to have my weapons on my back like in RDR2

I use 3 at any given time

I use my Pistol, Shotgun and Sniper.

[surreal storm]

that mod in fo4 while janky is still a nice addition for sure

[sleek cliff]

FO4 has some solid mods, NGL

Like the cyberpunk mods were SICK

They even managed to implement Johnny’s unique Malorian Reload

[jolly torrent]

Yeah it did. I loved FO4’s mods. They were dope.

Ugh. I’m going to have to start a new game this weekend. The game is taking 5+ minutes to load.

[surreal storm]

starting new characters is my favorite part anyway so you're lucky in a way

[nimble latch]

Not related to physics, but this is entirely possible to do!

[nimble latch]

Was possible in Fallout 4

[jolly torrent]

https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/a3deae3e-d9f4-4f12-bd51-2a1b58f792ef/Starborn_Pause_Screen

Thanks to whoever made this. This is a series I’m looking forward to. 🙏🏾

[nimble latch]

Ohh I know what you're talking about now, I have this in my Skyrim mod setup

But weapon inertia has been done in fallout 4 and new vegas

[untold field]

Nah, definitely not. I talked with several modmakers about that. No physics on weapons

You can have them on clothes but not weapons

[nimble latch]

It's been done in Skyrim using tools that weren't put on fallout

FSMP/HDT did it in skyrim

[untold field]

yeah I dont doubt that but its not possible with tools available for Starfield/Fallout 4

[nimble latch]

Starfield's different because nobody's making animation tools but I reckon it can be done in fallout

[untold field]

I talked with people like Neeher about it, and I guess he should know

[nimble latch]

Fallout 4 didn't even have visible holstered weapons until a F4SE modder made them

[untold field]

(And with other skilled modders as well)

I mean, I agree, everything is impossible until someone makes it

[sharp lynx]

Only time will tell

[nimble latch]

If you want the weapon on your back to move while you're running that can definitely be done, but physics whilst equipped I can't say

One of neehers weapons (can't remember which) has a charm on it that swings with animated inertia when you spin around, so it can at least be faked in first person

[sharp lynx]

That's actually not hard to do no

[untold field]

See, you are saying it yourself
ANIMATED

[sharp lynx]

It just requires bones

[untold field]

I am talking about physics

[sharp lynx]

Yea, those are a bit more hard-pressed

For the movement all you gotta do is just toss in custom armatures

[nimble latch]

Well that's why I'm saying it's faked

But it is doable for real, at least in third person

[jolly torrent]

I’ve heard there are actual animation tools for the PC version of Starfield. I just never heard the reason why they couldn’t be ported over to the Xbox version. Is it an environmental issue?

[untold field]

There are no animation tools for the PC version of Starfield

[surreal storm]

I think they mean NAF but that's only used for very specific mods if you know what I mean and also needs script extender

[untold field]

Ah okay, but NAF is for like animated poses right?

Not surprised that this has been figured out by a very specific part of the community already 😄

[last ledge]

uuuugh

I am struggling with piracy so hard - literally no one surrenders to me

[sharp lynx]

LOL Do better

[last ledge]

neither on my new character, nor on my old one - my old one was lvl 240 and had an insane loadout but people still go like "did you look at our weapons?"

[nimble latch]

NAF is also dead, hasn't been updated since December

[last ledge]

so I have been digging through the ck/source scripts to find how piracy value is calculated, but ofc it looks like it's something hardcoded and I can't seem to find info on it

[nimble latch]

I don't think starfield modding is ever going to hit that 'next level'. I think we're stuck with what we already have

[sharp lynx]

It's like finding a keyword that links to something but 100% doesn't show you what

[last ledge]

eh, it took almost 10 years to get elden ring level hitbox accuracy and animation to skyrim, so I would say there is always a chance given enough time

[sharp lynx]

I think starfield modding will be fine, and every game BGS has made has had this feeling of "it's bad, they're doomed and it can't get better."

It'll just take time is all

The best mods are absolutely not going to be in its first two years just like every other game they've published

The real heavy hitters will take time to build for sure

[last ledge]

thing is, I can see the ambigous globals just fine, which are 0.75 for low and 2.0 for high - those are comparison ratios the game uses to determine if you can pirate someone straight up, have to talk them down or fight

[sharp lynx]

Hmmm see that's something

[last ledge]

but the actual values used are calculated in engine and retrieved via getShipPiracyValue

obviously per encounter

[nimble latch]

You're both correct, however this sort of stuff will only ever be available outside creations, which you'll need to be mindful of

[jolly torrent]

What is NAF?

[sharp lynx]

That's not certain

The answer is, well we don't know

[last ledge]

I've seen and done everything skyrim modding had to offer, I am not afraid of anything 😄

[sharp lynx]

I do know I'm going to make a ton of stuff on the mean time while I wait for nifty tools

Then the bulk work will be done

[surreal storm]

native animation framework. basically a custom animation system

[nimble latch]

SFSE plugins and third party programs like pandora or nemesis will 100% never be on creations

[sharp lynx]

Eh, nexus still exists

[nimble latch]

Oh definitely, most of my mods are from nexus

[sharp lynx]

We're all glad it does

[nimble latch]

But starfield's modders are mostly verified creators, so the incentive to develop these tools is mitigated

[sharp lynx]

After seeing all the stuff they've done to fnv

Yes

I wouldn't say that, I see them third party folks still working and moving I think it's just one of those slow roll kinda situations

Fnv went through all of that

[nimble latch]

Anywhere to acquire this information?

[last ledge]

yeah, also it's the same old song and dance that exists with skyrim - frequent updates to the codebase that require extensive reverse engineering are taxing, and people just have less enthusiasm when it comes to starfield, so updates are slower/delayed

[sharp lynx]

I mean you see em in their discords right, Xedit folks still there doing stuff, the blender bridge folks still doing stuff, I assume, I'm sure some of them OGs are still around working these things out

[last ledge]

ye shader injector guys said they would post their next update after starfields next big update, because they feel it would be wasted work rn

[surreal storm]

it will be much better in 6 to 12 months after terran armada and updates etc

[nimble latch]

The only person I'm aware of who's delving into this sort of thing is LarannKiar on nexus

I'll have to snoop on the xedit discord then

[sharp lynx]

Tbf I haven't checked in there for a while xD but even then there's a chance someone out of left field can show up and go "look guys I made a whole animation application."

Bottom line is, at least imo, I have hope for the game

[last ledge]

maaaaan, I don't want to have to have to compile a debug version of the base script that outputs the piracy values for me just so I can guess how maybe this works

bethesda why couldn't you just show it in the tooltip

[sharp lynx]

Does terran truly have an armada

[surreal storm]

no it's all fake

[last ledge]

whos amanda and why is she with terrance?

[nimble latch]

I really hope so, but if a third party animation system were to be made, VC weapon mods would not be able to use it

[sharp lynx]

I heard they were renovating a new house

[last ledge]

sure would, optional pc only patch, as usual

[tall swift]

I looked into this, IIRC the dialogue itself calls a native CK condition function to check piracy and there is no actual numerical output

[last ledge]

as with all things, the pc master R wins

[tall swift]

The scripts only check for a return value from the dialogue. I couldn't find a way to deduce what the actual math was for piracy success, the only thing I know is it is a function of the value of the cargo onboard the ship being pirated from

[nimble latch]

I'd like to think so, but can things like that even be posted to bethnet? As far as I'm aware it's just the .esm and the .ba2

[last ledge]

can't you just call it from inside the script tho and print to log/console?

[tall swift]

You can't directly call CK condition functions from scripts, you can just evaluate if they are true or false according to supplied parameters

[last ledge]

it's not inherently a closed function that returns true or false, it should return an int or float at least

I never tried it tbh, but I believe you

is there a sfse logger utility that could catch it?

even if I have to sift through it would still beat not knowing wtf is going on

[tall swift]

I'm not in the CK right now but I am over 99% certain that it returns a bool which the dialogue evaluates as a true or false on the speech challenge. Native condition functions available in the editor are not always accessible as native Papyrus functions via script, it just so happens that ~70%+ are (IsInSpace, HasKeyword, etc)

[last ledge]

yeah that's why I was hoping it would be the same here

I know I am staring at the dialogue section rn

[sharp lynx]

Correct

[tall swift]

That I do not know. In all likelihood it would provide more insight. You may also be able to set up a script to evaluate the true/false return against an array of containers (with varyingly valuabel contents) while also looping through a larger array of player piracy strength values to get an idea of what's going on. That was my plan before I stopped working on it

[last ledge]

it calcs some value via that function and compares the outcome to the global and, if higher than the global it will fail, aka you can only attack)

[tall swift]

Right. So if all you get is 0 or 1 when evaluating (assumed) PlayerPiracyStrengthMult * HiddenBethesdaFactor * TotalCargoValue you can guesstimate the middle value by varying the other two. Again, in theory 🫠

[last ledge]

ye

no way in hell am I going to do this, id rather increase the global base by some degrees until I succeed

this is too much work ^^

[tall swift]

That will work too!

[last ledge]

it's just not satisfying though, it's too cheaty... I would rather understand how it actually works

also because that would help verify if high level ship encounters could potentially become "non-piratable" because of some factor

even with rank 4 and a good ship

I mean, I used the rank 4 ravager from darkstar and that ship has 7.2k shields, and over 1.5k raw dmg per shot (not dps, dps is easy over 10k)

and I was like 100 levels above civilian ships

and they laughed in my face "have you seen our weapons" - bro, 1 click on my mouse for a single shot and you are space dust, straight through the shields wtf are you talking about <.<

and it wasn't like some rare outlier either, I tried about 40 different ships in different locations - the only ships that I found that worked were lvl 40 ish mining ships with NO weapons and NO cargo from the mining conglomerate mod
and those only worked about 80% of the time

[tall swift]

In retrospect, I should just set up a custom scripted function for piracy in TSE and call it a day. I'd rather deal with some minor compatibility concerns for that line of dialogue than have a feature I'm not sure how to manage. I'll look into that for 1.1

If I can get it to work half decently I'll release it as a separate modder's resource in case anyone else wants to use it for their economy mods (or mods which alter piracy dialogue)

[last ledge]

either of those outcomes would be greatly appreciated

I just don't get it why it had to be made so arcane that it doesn't even make sense ^^

[tall swift]

Yeah, having that limited to an internal condition function is kind of pants on head when it comes to trying to work around it or alter it. I don't know why I didn't think to do that in the first place.

[last ledge]

maybe the idea of relying on runtime scripting didn't sound too appealing at the time?

I'm still skeptical of papyrus even after all these years ^^ I just can't find myself to trust it

though starfields version is much more stable than skyrims, no question

[tall swift]

Yeah, it's just more work and latency. Makes sense why they would do it on their end, just doesn't make sense to try to work around it as a modder.

As for Papyrus - I trust it about as much as Bethesda does. Which in fairness, probably still isn't very much 😆

[last ledge]

anyhow, I'll crawl into bed and tomorrow I'm just going to cook a plugin that changes those two globals to 1 and 4 for low and high respectively and see what happens

[tall swift]

Sounds good. I'm going to see if I can hack in a custom function as a PoC. Would be fun to have floating around. Not sure how many mods touch that but I guess I'll find out

[sharp lynx]

You guys are awesome, never change lol

❤️

[last ledge]

change is too exhausting, dw I will stay the same

[neat crow]

[last ledge]

okay so, this makes 0 sense

I am level 11, this ship is level 10
it has 1 puny particle beam, I have 2 pbs, 4 lasers and 4 ballistic weapons - the lasers alone have a sheet damage rating of over 80
my power is a bit low, I'm at 35/40, but still okay

I have changed the piracy value to 6 (! that is triple the base amount) for the combat resistance check and the game still refuses to let me even enter the persuasion minigame

for reference, if you had the level 4 piracy perk your rating would be at 3.0

how is this even supposed to work?????

[marsh grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-26024664

[last ledge]

it's not like there is some chance for it to fail

it simply checks whether it will surrender immediately, enter the minigame or resist

based on the ships rating vs the threshhold

and even with double the maximum vanilla value some puny civilian ship is like "nah, we gonna fight you"

just for the fun I'll force that to 100 and see what happens

lol even if I set it to 100 they resist

wtf, did bethesda screw this up in some update?

great

guess I will delete this character then, this is the worst

[sleek cliff]

Bethesda Magic at Work!

[last ledge]

ngl if the mechanic doesn't work 99.99% of the time then I might as well start over, playing a pirate is basically the same as hunting pirates because all you do is blow stuff up

Starfield is wildly known as the last game you’ll ever play before you relapse into alcoholism again

[last ledge]

just my luck then that I don't drink

[sleek cliff]

Jokes aside, it does still have its issues even 2 years later

[sharp lynx]

I was out in the forest the other day and I found this log, when I rolled the log over, underneath the log was a tiny stick. I thought..... That log had a child.

[last ledge]

I know they can't even if they wanted to because of property rights, but damn they should just post their codebase on github and let the players fix the game for real

[last ledge]

I am not sure that is how wood works 😄

[slim sun]

Quick question, has anyone had a bounty mission (or any radiant mission, really) at a POI on the New Atlantis tile? I've just had my first one, and I'm trying to work out if it's related to a change I've made or if it can happen in vanilla.

[last ledge]

well, technically it can happen but the chance is pretty small

there was a mod uuuh, something something missionboard?

iirc that adds placable missionboard variants that are locked to max/min distances aka local and remote, if you were to use the local one you would get missions only inside the same system, so the chance for something like that would be way higher but still small

[sleek cliff]

👀

[jolly torrent]

https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/b6bc3f12-415d-444f-a8b9-ff905a3be92a/Adventure_Pause_Screen

Please keep these coming, whoever you are.

[slim sun]

Yeah, the feature I'm adding is a va'ruun mission board request someone had. So it might be behaving different to vanilla due to the different location it was started from, I'm just hoping to get some confirmation someone's seen it in vanilla as you'll end up with up to two additional map markers on the planet, at least until the POI resets. If that's normal it's fine, if not I'll need to note it.

[last ledge]

afaik that's normal behaviour, just not common because of the probability in vanilla

[slim sun]

Oh, also are Va'ruun smuggling missions broken for everyone? I know that was true for me well before I started this so it's not mod related, but I'm curious if they work for anyone. For me, the captain only has generic dialogue so can't advance the quest. I'm talking specifically about the va'ruun mission board smuggling missions to return things to Dazra, not the generic one where you board a smuggling ship.

[marsh grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/a-chicken-goes-after-a-human-chicken-after-me-chicken-underzero-gif-16718114

[jolly torrent]

Wait, you dropped a new mod? Where?

[slim sun]

It's not a new mod yet, it'll either just get added to the va'ruun mini shrines or (of there are other consequences of having it installed) it'll be standalone. It's really nothing to get excited over lol, I was just trying to fix why Va'ruun mission boards placed on a ship don't refresh (it's true for Crimson Fleet ones as well).

[last ledge]

isnt that because the cell never resets?

unlike normal cells

[slim sun]

It's because there's a location check for the player in the story manager branch. Which seems counterintuitive as there's a location override on the mission boards themselves, which isn't of any use in that situation.

wSkeever fixed the CF ones ages ago in their mission boards anywhere mod, that needed a bunch of location aliases altered too though. The Va'ruun one just needs the "player in Dazra" check removed.

[jolly torrent]

You know I’m excited for all your mods, bro.

[untold field]

Where would you look for the missing shipment reading this?

[timid temple]

I'd probably go to Procyon III-a first, ngl. "Crazy collector" isn't really specific enough - you run into a couple weirdos in New Atlantis, for example

[untold field]

Mhhh I felt crazy collector would be a good hint. Especially with the story about ramming other ships.

[timid temple]

it only works if people have already encountered The Scow though. Which also isn't something that happens in NG+ where the player chooses to skip the MQ

[untold field]

I mean sure, but you will have encountered the Scow already if you have been to NG+

[timid temple]

But you can't get to it if you skip the MQ

[untold field]

Which you cannot do in your first universe

Everyone has to do the Scow quest at least once

[timid temple]

true, but then this side quest or whatever is soft locked until then. Personally, I'd be annoyed by that

I mean, I've had a couple complaints about my collectible duckies that are in MQ-only areas, as an example

[untold field]

Dont worry, its not a quest

Its a lore piece

I want to make it so that you find something when you go to the scow but you will find the same thing at the place where you get that dataslate.

[marsh grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/duck-ducks-army-march-meme-gif-22547764

[timid temple]

ah. It reads like a fetch/retrieval quest

[untold field]

True, its out of context. I just wanted to know if people will understand where to look

[jolly torrent]

Has anyone played the “Secret Staryards: Dirty Laundry”?

[marsh grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-washing-machine-cute-gif-9865472

[neat crow]

can you encounter the Scow in an NG+ if you skip the main quest?

just curious how that works

[untold field]

No idea

There is also no need to go to the Scow to get the weapons.
I want to add them to NPCs on the Scow though if I manage to do that.

[sleek cliff]

not as far as I’ve seen, the hunter claims he murders Petrov and the crew if you replay the story

Pour one out for our boy the captain

[last ledge]

well, technically you are shortly on the scow once you get to the buried temple

[last ledge]

also, that only works on someone who exhausts petrov dialogue

but cool idea nonetheless

I actually really like stuff that is hidden - I don't like searching for it per se, but it's always a great feeling when you eventually connect dots or come across something unexpected and get rewarded

[slim sun]

If you enable the Scow and it's marker in NG+ when you've skipped the main quest it will actually auto start No Sudden Moves when you board, which will not be completable as there's no artefact there to add to the armillary when you get back to the lodge.

[last ledge]

great design

well, like I said earlier if you wanted it to be accessible you could always try and fiddle with the unity/burdied temple time warp version of it

if that is actually a different version

[sleek cliff]

Then I blow Petrov’s degenerate brains out with my pistol I lovingly named “Moneyshot”

just BAM now his boyfriend is traumatized

Then I blow HIS brains out.

I've started to open with gravity well, turn around and eliminate the guard behind me, then switch to a grenade launcher and just explode the blob of bodies that floats in front of me

ikr??

[sleek cliff]

I got monthly because ain’t no way in HELL I’m paying 99$ all at once

[mystic fox]

Hey guys does anyone know how to edit rough and normal maps, I have edited them the same as the textures but when I put them in game they don't show up properly. They get all reflective for some reason. It must be a import issue because if I extract the texture and put it back without changing it it has the same issue.

[last ledge]

lol I just skipped all the stages and went straight to yearly payments because I couldn't be asked to repack a 60mb vid that I want to sent someone or get the lower quality voice encryption

not a texture guy, but that sounds either like something is missing or not loading correctly

[mystic fox]

I think it gets affected as I export it, the textures show up properly but they ake everything more shiny

[sleek cliff]

Anyways, hear me out.

A race against time mod.

You’ve contracted Starborn Tuberculosis and now you have to hurry to get all the artifacts before you die.

[untold field]

You are followed by a cup of coleslaw

[sleek cliff]

Then I really would shoot myself, can you imagine how terrible it would smell if not refrigerated properly?

The fridges in 2330 are ugly as hell and don’t have built in TVs, but at least they refrigerate

[last ledge]

I think such a mod already exists

I don't recall the name, but the description was basically starfield 2077, the artifact scrambled your brain and now you only got I think it was 21 days? to finish the main quest

not sure if you also had to unity in that time, or if simply finishing the mq would set you free

[tall swift]

I worked briefly on a soft-permadeath prototype concept like that, where acquiring artifacts or defeating Starborn would create checkpoints. This was more for NG+ but it was a fun project. Unfortunately for it to work 'properly' and detect deaths you would need either time travel or SFSE.

Now that said, having a universal time limit on a playthrough that you can alter by completing tasks is actually a fun twist on that. Would work really well with some kind of roguelite NG+ modifiers.

Actually, what could be really fun is random playthrough restrictions (time limit, must collect X of Y to build armillary, must complete X of Y faction quests, etc) combined with those random modifiers (e.g. 0% gun damage, for melee/powers only, no powers, no Guardian ship, take damage slowly when in space or on land, etc) for each NG+. Has nobody done this yet?

[untold field]

I recall seeing creations that at least add modifiers or challenges to NG+

[last ledge]

tbf until the temple/artifact part of the mq/unity runs gets completely reworked either by Bethesda themselves or some modder with more grit than brains, I don't really want it to take any longer

but I could see the appeal if that were the case

then again, I am currently using Darkstar on punish me difficulty and I have started to realize that actually knowing where free items are and what you can get where has become almost critical knowledge, because otherwise the game will just delete you in any combat encounter ^^

something I wouldn't have thought I would ever need to know in Starfield - it almost feels Morrowind-esque in that regard

those are the kinds of impacts I would be most interested in in a NG+ mod personally

[tall swift]

It definitely has some old-school design elements like the vendor artifact weapons that I didn't expect to see come back post-Skyrim

[last ledge]

yeah and usually you aren't overly aware of where you can get each or which one is actually good (as they only ever scale once per universe and with no way to upgrade them in vanilla, most people would never bother with it naturally)

[untold field]

I use Gothos Revelation so I have exactly one temple (two if you count the last mission)

Really great mod.

[last ledge]

yeah, I use that one too, if it wouldn't work anymore I might not even play xD

[untold field]

The people who were responsible for the art design and modelling of the temples must be so furious how lazily they are integrated into the game

[last ledge]

yeah and with the last one you can clearly see they did have ideas for arenas and dungeons in that style

[untold field]

Imagine what could have been done with all those anomalies and temples.

Do anomalies have any purpose?

[last ledge]

only to give you caelumite iirc

that is literally the only purpose I can think of

[untold field]

I feel really bad for the art team there

[last ledge]

yeah, whoever made the call on the temple gameplay loop def dropped the ball

[untold field]

Its like with Ubisoft games where they make the most beautiful worlds and then fill them with nothing lol

[last ledge]

😄

[untold field]

AC Shadows for example looks incredible but it soooooo boring

[jolly torrent]

I really wish the anomaly animation on screen were used if an enemy detected you or you were afflicted with something.

[untold field]

I enjoyed it for like 20 to 30 hours and then I just couldn't make myself play anymore. Even though a lot of separate gameplay features are cool it just doesn't come together in a game that would catch me for long.

[jolly torrent]

Don’t mean to insert myself into this conversation, but AC, at least IMHO, hasn’t been good fun since the second game which was 15 years ago. Lol

[last ledge]

yeah, I for one never realized the starborn actually have a bunch of the powers you have (besides supernova and invisibility) but you never really notice it

I only know because I had to look through the powers in CK 😄

[jolly torrent]

What?!?! They do?!?

[untold field]

Anomalies could have an impact on flora and fauna around. Imagine if you went towards an anomaly enemies of any kind would get a big buff.

[last ledge]

yep

[untold field]

And temples could take that to another level even

[last ledge]

I think the hunter is the only one whos abilities are noticable as he uses multiple self and supernova quite a lot

but afaik they have targeted abilites as well

[jolly torrent]

I don’t know, I tend to play this game more as a sort of dark, gritty space horror that’s set in dystopian future.

[untold field]

I have seen them using a couple of powers in combat.

I am most envious about their teleporting power, I want to be able to teleport as well.

[jolly torrent]

I’ve never finished the game. How many times does he appear after the assault on The Lodge?

[untold field]

If you fight those groups that are put down by ships you will notice them using powers regularly.

[last ledge]

yeah, I love I don't have to do the grind thanks to Revelation but I am a bit sad the only solution to make it bearable in an easy manner was simply removing all the art

[last ledge]

a couple, but you only fight him one other time (unless you side with him/have max persuasion+buffs)

I understand refusing to do the Unity, but you should really do the Buried Temple quest

I mean you don't have to use the artifacts after to "end" it

[untold field]

Yeah and you should fight them both

[last ledge]

but that section is really really good, one of the best dungeons Bethesda made in Starfield

[untold field]

Man on my first playthrough I actually made peace with them and only realised on a later run how much I missed out on that last fight 😅

[last ledge]

I always aim to have persuasion at max and a red wine with me once I get there to skip it all XD but I agree, doing the last fight at least once is a must

even the stuff before is super good

you even get some nice exposition depending on if you side with one of them and they help you through it

[jolly torrent]

That’s a dam shame. The only thing I’ve found intimidating and interesting about him was the whole “multiple selves” thing. I found that whole concept creepy since I was a kid playing TMNT II: The Arcade Game and we would swap the controllers on the NES among us if we died. The final boss Shredder would pull that multiple selves thing and I would freak out and hand the controller to one of my brothers. My eldest brother would be dying laughing. He always found that funny for some reason.

[last ledge]

^^

[untold field]

Also fun fact, using kah on them is really weird. Puts them in a forever down state and you still have to shoot them to get to the next phase of the fight.

[last ledge]

tbh I love the Hunter - when I first booted up the game and immediately found him in the bar in Jemison I was like "wooooow, Bethesda can actually still write good characters, insane! who is this dude!?"

but ironically, that made my disappointment even more pronounced ^^

[jolly torrent]

Yeah he was originally in the bar in Jemison. I caught him in Akila on this playthrough, too. Lol

[last ledge]

yeah, he is in a couple of spots

until the quest progresses far enough at least

[untold field]

Nah idk I still feel his murder spree is completely pointless. Guy can teleport. He could have just teleported in, snatch the artifacts, teleport out.

[last ledge]

and only in the first universe - there are actually a couple of things you can only do in your first universe

[untold field]

I am not too keen of story bits like that which are there just for the shock effect

[jolly torrent]

I just wish he had more of a presence in this game. That’s why when or if the animation kit comes out, I’m going to be begging the modders to have the Great Serpent as the final boss. You hear more about that than the actual final boss.

[last ledge]

yeaaah, but to him constellation is just puppets running around mindlessly, like ants - would you care about 5 ants crawling around something? not really
but it indeed reveals his cruel nature that he then also goes out of his way to kill some of them, if not all

[jolly torrent]

Agreed. I thought the whole The Lodge attack was there for shock value. That’s why I have a mod to remedy that because it came out of nowhere.

[last ledge]

well, I think it fits the Hunter - it makes you question his motives precisely because it is so out of left field

for him as a character I think it works

[jolly torrent]

If they had done it similar to Mass Effect 1 and had some big stakes behind it and you had to choose, then I would have been fine with that. But the way it’s presented in this, it seems kind of forced.

[untold field]

I get that but it's still just pointless. Again he can teleport wherever he wants. If you really don't care you don't put so much effort into it. So the only explanation is that he wants to kill. Which in my books makes it impossible to not kill him.

[jolly torrent]

Agreed.

[untold field]

And the Emissary is similarly a hypocrite. Both of them deserve to get their asses kicked.

[jolly torrent]

Wait…question. Are the dragon effects still left over in the code for this game?

[untold field]

Sadly I found all those mods to only work so la la. So I just went with the vanilla way.

[last ledge]

unless you agree with him that nothing matters but power
it also makes sense if you dive deeper into his character - he has seen so many universes and is so old, nothing really matters anymore, but he still tests people in his own way - which is why he lets you go because he has never seen you survive

[jolly torrent]

Like the flying, the landing, the designs, etc.?

[last ledge]

it intrigues him, a feeling he himself admits has long since forgotten

[jolly torrent]

Interesting. I’ve tried “No Price to Pay” twice and it worked both times for me.

I still think The Great Serpent should’ve been the final boss.

[last ledge]

you mean the shouts? yes, the player powers are spells and the npc ones are shouts - because that way they only have a cooldown and don't need ressource tracking

[jolly torrent]

And I thought that’s the route they were going with Shattered Space

[last ledge]

they are even classified as shouts in the CK

[rapid cliff]

My favorite universe involves Desolation and Revelation mods, a missing Constellation, a quick run-through and doing away with Hunter/Emissary and then mods like Catalyst to spice up making the universe into the best possible place to be. Using all those levels and powers for good.

[untold field]

It works, but also it cuts out the Scow quests completely iirc. Or was that the other one? Not sure anymore. I tested them both and both had some drawbacks. Missing quests, missing voicelines, stuff like that. And also Constellation sometimes acted as if the character still died.

[untold field]

Starfield: Gothos Edition

[rapid cliff]

Catalyst is HUGE in making Radiant quests so much more immersive. You can spend hours tracking down a faction on a single planet, feeling like there's a goal and experiencing all kinds of new interactions.

[jolly torrent]

No. I know the shouts were repurposed as SB powers. I mean like the dragon animations. I know in a FO4 deep dive, they claimed they had the Skyrim shouts still in the code. I was hopeful that some of the dragon animations were still left in the code for one willing modder to make that Great Serpent as the final boss dream come true. Lol

[jolly torrent]

Is that on Xbox as well or just PC? You’re the second person I’ve heard about this mod from.

[rapid cliff]

both https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/d742ca60-5f59-4c15-b8ba-7daa4234d688/Catalyst___Dynamic_Missions

Gothos changes the game in the best way for me.

[untold field]

Maybe spaceships are just dragons

[jolly torrent]

Thank you! I have the two sister mods, which are Dark Universe: Overtime and Ronin. These won’t conflict??

[jolly torrent]

Well, that was part of my pitch. You have to fight The Great Serpent in space by a gas giant similar to Bannoc IV (without the lightning that causes damage) after the player character realizes that you can’t harm it because it flies around too much planet side. Then you do battle in space while epic (royalty free) choir music blasts in the background.

[jolly torrent]

Lol. Don’t be laughing at me.

[last ledge]

I use all of those and it hasn't crashed out on me yet or made anything not be able to completed

[untold field]

I could imagine something like this as a quest when you use to much aurora and fall into a hallucinating sleep haha

[jolly torrent]

Okay. I will download Catalyst then. Does it really make one feel like a bounty hunter of sorts?

[last ledge]

well, it certainly spices things up

[jolly torrent]

Okay. Cool. I may be starting a new game this weekend anyway because it takes my game at least 5-10 minutes to load each time I boot it up anyway.

[last ledge]

unfortunately I am pretty sick rn and feel barely alive while tomorrow is also a new PoE1 league, so I will either wither in my bed until I get better or play poe 😄

[devout remnant]

U mean path of exile?

[last ledge]

yep

[jolly torrent]

I hope you feel better, homie.

[jolly torrent]

Yep. The first Path of Exile game. PoE 2 was….aight.

[last ledge]

thanks ^^ condition has been slightly deteriorating but I hope it stabilizes out over night and the weekend

[jolly torrent]

But PoE1 was decent.

[jolly torrent]

Everyone is getting sick. I think it’s this weather. It went from 77 to 50 overnight in my area. Lol. Ridiculous.

[last ledge]

haven't been sick in over a decade and I had forgotten how annoying it is to have a fever

[jolly torrent]

It is very annoying

[devout remnant]

Yep

[sharp lynx]

It's the mods

They've downloaded the weather

[last ledge]

that would be horrible, at least a third of my steam library has games that can have/need mods 😄

[sharp lynx]

LOL

[devout remnant]

Hmm

[jolly torrent]

Lol

This part always makes me chuckle a bit. The upcoming part I remember being difficult af.

[untold field]

One of the best missions in the game I nearly cried when listening to the logs.

Those VAs nailed it

Also makes it much more impactful when something isn't ruined by weird robotic animations lol

[jolly torrent]

Lol

I’m ending the Crimson Fleet tonight. One of the best quests in the game this side of the Terrormorph/UC quest. Tomorrow I’m downloading Catalyst and acting like that is the main quest until I get the courage to start up a new game.

[last ledge]

it's true that starfields animations are somewhat uncanny valley, but you can't say they haven't improved 😄
Also the intro elevator definitely proves that they can do high quality animation scenes, if they want to

[last ledge]

I wish you a good night and may your load order stay stable ^^

night guys o/

[jolly torrent]

Thank you, bro!!! Please take care of yourself and get better!!! 🙏🏾

[untold field]

They improved, but why can't Bethesda make animations like RDR2 or Cyberpunk?

I hate when people be like "it's a different kind of game" because that is a stupid excuse there is no reason to not have those animations. RDR2 released 5 years before Starfield btw. And has at least 10 times more and better animations.

And don't get me wrong I am not asking for animations for everything like picking up stuff or using buttons etc. But generally more animations to make everything feel more natural.

I guess it takes a lot away from moments. Because sure, there is some mid writing here and there but also a lot of good stuff. That quest on the legacy proves it. Environmental storytelling is on point, the atmosphere is great, the voiceacting is superb.

Now imagine adding a typical Bethesda NPC into that scene with their monotonous dialogue movement lol

Also most of the animations that are in Starfield are actually pretty good, I enjoy to observe NPCs in combat for example. They have animations for combat rolls, vaulting over stuff, going into cover, blind fire and lots more.

[solemn fog]

I am on the NG 100 or so and noticed that outside of Bobby at New Atlantis space station there is no mention of Foster parent or Adoption in all of Starfield. I liked the kids in Skyrim and Fallout 4. Shame the player can’t have their own. And it’s weird that it isn’t even a background or trait. Also to all the authors who make mods, I love and appreciate you all so much, but please please put what is required in the listing of the mod, I am getting eye strain looking them up on my phone. 😉

I know this might be slightly offensive but does anyone find Bobby strange looking compared to Sona and Cora Coe? He looks like an after thought or maybe they had intended to fix him but never got to it him and then forgot about it.

[untold field]

Yeah Bobby does look indeed weird

[solemn fog]

Hey could someone add additional love interest to the game, Heller is bi-sexual based on his slates you find at Argoes. And what about other male partners? I know at least one mod that already adds a female but no males.

[jolly torrent]

I may have to make a cameo appearance on your live stream whenever you see fit, bro. Lol

Not trying to insert myself in there, but I think we would have an amazing conversation

[jolly torrent]

Wait….arent you a modder? Lol

[solemn fog]

LMAO, I can only think of the idea’s I have no computer talent.

Bought a Alienware laptop and 8TB store device, and my lack of computer knowledge has left me with an over sized paperweight. For what ever reason the don’t communicate to each other so the laptop says it is full. I gave up and use my phone.

[jolly torrent]

Oh okay. I thought I saw your name as the mod author on some mod. My bad. Lol

[untold field]

Sure why not, I would love to be able to talk more to people in english to improve my skills. My spoken english is rough 😭

[last ledge]

weird? no, he looks like a male version of cora

children in bethesda games (if there were any) always looked kinda weird

I found some kids playing around in Paradiso, where the hidden slum section is - can't remember tho if you need to do the ECS Constant quest or if they are always there

but outside of those I haven't seen any really, or at least they didn't stay in my memory

[sleek cliff]

Who?

[last ledge]

when you come down from the frontier for the first time, there is a group to the left

one of them is a boy about 12 or so - they apprently got attack by varuun zealots but made it off the startstation

the boy is called Bobby and the official greeting them treats him like he is coping about his parents being still alive and he is going to have to get foster parents

later, the boy hangs around the commercial district with his parents, who arrived later just like he said they would

[neat crow]

His parents actually arrive? Never found that boy again after the initial scene

[last ledge]

yep they do

[neat crow]

That's so cool

[sleek cliff]

Reminds me of the girl from Mass Effect 3 who thinks her parents are coming but are DEFINITELY dead

[last ledge]

well, ME was a drama, Starfield is just.... Starfield

[sleek cliff]

I need to play ME again

God, I love 2

1 was BASED and 3 was just depressing, but good

[last ledge]

yep, ME was definitely one of the best game trilogies ever released

even managed to have one character save that I dragged through all 3 games

it probably was a lot of work on the devs end, but it made you feel so much more connected to the story

[sleek cliff]

I would love more Mass Effect mods in Starfield

https://tenor.com/view/mass-effect-tali-gif-20136480

[nimble latch]

There's the mass effect assault rifle on nexus

[sleek cliff]

TRUE, but I am unfortunately a FILTHY console peasant.

[jolly torrent]

You and me both.

[jolly torrent]

As am I.

I’m wondering if I should start a new game this weekend, as it takes me 5-10 minutes to even load into a save. I know that’s a warning sign that my save is going to crap out on me soon. Benny also hooked me up so that I can jump into a new game faster. Dare I?

[warm bolt]

@jolly torrent I always restart from scratch. A good chance to clean load order and come up with a new head cannon playthru.

[sly ocean]

An adoption mechanic does sound like a good idea for a mod.
Currently you could use my Spawn NPCs and/or Recruit Any NPC mods to add children to your ship and have them sandbox around, but that's the extent of it.

I intentionally excluded child NPCs from NPC Clothing & Inventory Control, but a true adoption mod could perhaps let you choose from a list of outfits (hard coded and all child NPC compatible) and next time you see them they'd be wearing the new outfit.
Probably some other mechanics could be thought up.

[jolly torrent]

True

[jolly torrent]

I still don’t know why we don’t have the adoption mechanic.

[nimble latch]

Unfortunately the vast majority of mods are going to be PC only, and that's where 99% of all innovation is going to happen

[sleek cliff]

[slim sun]

There's a difference, in the previous Bethesda games you could still give children different faces, hence the various child overhauls that made them more varied and less potato-like. In Starfield we're stuck with the same 3 faces for kids; male, female, and Cora. If you try and give them a custom face even in xEdit, it just gets ignored by the game.

I did try a few experiments to make a child/adult hybrid to use adult facegen, but they were... less than ideal.

In Skyrim you could literally just paste an adult NPC's appearance data onto a child NPC and you'd get a child version of that face, it was pretty neat.

[jolly torrent]

That face!!!!

[strong oak]

I would assume that program in Skyrim for NPC's appearance was done like 15 years ago, or more. That person or persons moved elsewhere or retired. It exists true. But someone would have to relearn or AI could learn it and move on with that method. You would think they could copy and paste the lines needed <shrug > oh well.

[slim sun]

I mean it's hardly the only strange regression, something that was in Skyrim or Fallout already but for reasons unknown is missing in Starfield. Who knows 🤷

[sharp lynx]

[sleek cliff]

That’s literally SATAN, call the space priest!

[neat crow]

it's probably not that hard - they decided to not make use of it so it didn't made it in, is my guess

[sleek cliff]

Granted, nobody likes the kids in this game.

Given the opportunity? I’d leave Cora on Cassiopeia just for funsies

[strong oak]

Most Children are left unattended or the parents are onto other things not glancing at the kids. I would be so bored I would graffiti the walls. watch the cleaner robots remove the paint and do it again for something to do. Just sayin'

[sleek cliff]

I mean, I’d probably get a gun and start mugging people if I was born in Starfield

Not like they’re hard to come by

There are literally guns in unattended crates

HELL, sometimes there’s even ammo.

[jolly torrent]

Lol

https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/9c2d2e09-8d4a-465f-96a1-34c970cfb1af/Alternative_Message_Boxes

https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/a041746a-e1e4-472e-a49f-f7581f4d38b2/NEON_VEINS

I’m worried that this will conflict with the 900 other Neon mods I have lol, but I want this very much. Checker90 is the GOAT when it comes to city overhauls.

[sharp lynx]

If I was in SF, I'd get a cheap ship and leave systems for a random planet with an atmo and live the rest of my life there away from everyone

I'd be able to build my own castle in the middle of nowhere

[sleek cliff]

Y’know what? Don’t sound like a bad life.

With a clean water source and crops, would be a personal garden of Eden

[sharp lynx]

And a garage lol

[sleek cliff]

Garages are always needed

You can build cool stuff in there.

Or get a cheap rev 8 off spacebay

[sharp lynx]

I think I wanna make a remodel of my red rocket station

But this time hand model it

[sleek cliff]

How so? To have it be closer to fallout’s version?

[sharp lynx]

Yep, but also with custom models rather than using ck assets

Cause I could make the rocket, signs, and pumps look way better

[sleek cliff]

I mean, for what you had to work with, you did a damn good job

But Hand modeled would be TIGHT

[sharp lynx]

Yea I think how it looks, looks great

[sleek cliff]

I mean, I definitely thought so, I enjoyed decorating it

[sharp lynx]

I need to update that mod too

[sleek cliff]

Although, That red Rocket did feel significantly bigger

[sharp lynx]

They were scaled the same actually

[sleek cliff]

Damn, Todd was right, it really WAS 16X the detail!

[sharp lynx]

I joke

[jolly torrent]

Lol

[sleek cliff]

That said, I actually really did like the garage portion

[sharp lynx]

I deleted my joke

Didn't want it taken out of context

[sleek cliff]

Out of context is the only way I ROLL

[sharp lynx]

Next GH update I wanna make a new brand of wine, "the pretentious pear"

Pear with a kick

LOL wines are made with grapes you say

Nonsense

These are pear grapes

[sleek cliff]

There’s a dude making Mountain Dew wine, anything can be a wine

[sharp lynx]

I do enjoy consistency

[sleek cliff]

I’d pay for a wine addition to GH

Starfruit or Pear wine would be interesting

[sharp lynx]

There is a wine addition to gh

[sleek cliff]

God, there’s a bunch of stuff I haven’t discovered yet

[marsh grotto]

https://www.lynfredwinery.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Lynfred-Wine-2021-006.png

[last ledge]

from what I remember the official explanation for regression between different creation engine versions was that they usually cut stuff out/deprecate the code completely that they don't need for the current project
they usually see what they need for the "current" project, then look for a way to adapt whatever code they have and toss out the rest
if there are parts left then it's purely coincidental and not because they actually planned to use it later on
tbh, when I first heard that a couple of years back I was pretty shocked - it's the most irresponsible way of "growing" your engine I could think of and they just keep doing it

[sleek cliff]

Damn, I could down a good bottle of wine right now

Chug it, man

[sharp lynx]

Deal

The pretentious pear can be a reality

[last ledge]

that's also apparently why some parts of the magic system still remain, because they had adapted a part of it for fo4 but most of it got tossed and what is in starfield is just what they cobbled together with the rest that was still left - Bethesda has, by their own admission, zero mid- to long-term planning when it comes to their codebase

[sleek cliff]

You’re gonna make the man so happy.

He might even shed a wine scented tear

[last ledge]

I don't have the source on hand, would have to look for it, but if I remember correctly they admitted as much in detail at some dev conference years back

should still be on youtube somewhere

so, I am not at all confused by the fact that technology that solves issues 14 years ago is now gone

[slim sun]

That's very strange if it's truly what they do. There are also vestiges of things you can see in the CK that have been redundant for literally decades now, like the "persist in the doomed world you have created" message you got in Morrowind when killing an essential character.

[last ledge]

like I said, you can look it up - the example they talked about was literally fallout 4 and how they thought about ways to adapt skyrims magic system into it, but then tossed the idea, only to end up reusing some of the code later on while deprecating the rest

that conference was way before 2020, can't remember when it was from but probably around 2015-2017 ish

might even be the infamous "your players will never see it, so don't bother make it" speech, but I am not sure about that

and there is zero evidence Bethesda has bothered to change that about their software development, as is evident in Starfield ^^

[slim sun]

I remember they did some fairly major work on cleaning up the engine in preparation for the Fallout 76 launch, that's in the Noclip documentary. So I guess it might have been cut there, for some reason.

[last ledge]

yeah, given their way of handling things that would make sense

[toxic pike]

Does GH have rum or liquor manufacturing? I'd love to do a playthrough as a pirate and rum producer/seller lol

[last ledge]

that's also the main reason why spellmaking has never returned to skyrim, not even after all these years in modding - the essential parts that need to run native so it's performant enough and make sense have all been cut out of the engine, literally

man just thinking about it gives me an actual headache ^^

[toxic pike]

Mountain Dew was created as a whiskey mixer if I remember right

[jolly torrent]

My dinner that I’m going to pair with another evening of traveling in the space lanes. I gotta find a decent bottle of wine, though.

[sharp lynx]

Technically yes, but the auto production is beer and wine

[sleek cliff]

News to me, I always hit it straight

[sharp lynx]

I could do a straight brewer mod

Well I mean expansion to GH, cause I don't need to add more food mods imo

[sleek cliff]

Now we are TALKING

[marsh grotto]

Mountain Dew is slang for moonshine, or illegally distilled liquor, with the name originating from a Scotch-Irish term for whiskey.

[toxic pike]

That's right and before it was a soda it was a mixer according to a thing I watched at least

[toxic pike]

I'd definitely throw some $$ towards a brewery or distilling setup! I'm not heavy into farming or gardening stuff (in starfield but I am in stardew valley). But I could use especially rum or liquor production

Then I can get TN to register the liquor for crew supplies in Out in the Blackness and provide good swill for my crew

😁🦜🏴‍☠️

[sharp lynx]

It has more than just gardening and farming lol every animal comes with their own unique items and food can be made from 90% of each animal in the game plus mounts for every animal

Whole hunting system pretty much

• 500 or so new food items

[sleek cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/fallout-rads-radiation-counter-gif-6369229076219259168

[jolly torrent]

Shall I?

[sharp lynx]

Or maybe I won't add the wine lol

[sharp lynx]

Could make some new cool looking bottles

[sleek cliff]

Hell YES

[jolly torrent]

Add the wine!!! Please!!!🙏🏾 I beg of you!!!!

[sharp lynx]

A whole brew section would be fun

[sleek cliff]

Tank’s Trail Sangria, Nem’s Double Downfall IPA, Scarlet’s Spanish Stout, Kitsu Kölsh

Nova’s Nova Imperial IPA

Kraken’s Wrath Lager

Nuka Blast Pilsner

LX 6 Lost Trail Indian IPA

[jolly torrent]

Lol

Well, I would hope TG will make a label that says “TG’s Vineyards” for the wine.

[jolly torrent]

Maaaan, how I wish “The Exorcist” theme would play upon a death event as well as @slim sun ‘s death quotes. That would really seal the deal on a feeling of dread and hopelessness upon death.

If it works id give it my best go im like brand spanking new to 3d modeling but im using substance modeler 3d and its fun learning it all

That skin is definitely doable

[hoary lava]

It would work, I have used the Gutter animation for a few different things, the Axe as well. I would suggest learning Blender or Plasticity first, then go check out Substance Modeler. There is a lot that Blender/Plasticity can do that Modeler can't. Plus you would be closer to industry standards working in those 2 versus Modeler.

Once you see the way in Blender, going to anything else is much easier.

Have fun! Would love to see it but no big deal if you don't get round to it

Are animation tools for Starfield out yet?

[amber sparrow]

Nope

[jolly torrent]

I think this Discord would be screaming from the rooftops if the animation kit release was even announced lol.

[last ledge]

ah whoever said that they never noticed bobby and his parents running around NA

[sharp lynx]

speaking of two hand melee weapons lol

SF also lacks blunt melee weapons

[nimble latch]

Kanabo is that?

[sharp lynx]

It sure is, I made dat

Meant to go with my spirit armor

[nimble latch]

That's beezer

Really well done

[sharp lynx]

thank ya!

I made a polearm as well

Oh, and the armor XD and shield.

what I wanted was a ranged melee weapon, this thing is really good at hitting people at range

[nimble latch]

Naginata almost

Are these armours from the starborn pack?

[sharp lynx]

Yep

Those are part of the 3 new sets

Extreme variety with that pack lol

[neat crow]

That was me! Me! I'm blind!! Thank u!!

[nimble latch]

Really wanting to get it, but my immersion loses the bap with crafting being the only method to get items, might make a short quest to take out powerful starborn with the armours being the rewards

[sharp lynx]

Eh, I do that and magically every starborn won't spawn

It'll work for everyone but 3 random people who will tell me somehow every starborn in their game spawns as a mop

However, there is a terminal on the workbench that will inject these outfits into the game

There's also a boss arena with starborn wearing these armors

I think my next mod will include a quest tho!

[sleek cliff]

Will it have a super boss?

[sharp lynx]

You'll have to see lol
