Folks, let's keep this channel civil and constructive.

How about them Skyrim mods though? They are pretty cool am I right?

@hasty geyser You ever get that mod you were looking for?

hasty geyser
#

Hey @honest python I saw you VS code extension.

hasty geyser
dreamy sparrow
#

Was just wondering as seeing as how so many people were being toxic to you asking for a mod that so many people likely have and this is the GO TO site for that knowledge now.

hasty geyser
#

Kind of funny though.

honest python
#

Mine is kinda crap, Joel did it better 🙂

hasty geyser
#

Ya I think that is the one I use because it was updated more recently. Didn't you also work on that one?

honest python
#

Yea but the contributions of other far outweigh mine on that project. I assisted with a lot of the domain knowledge, documentation, testing, snippets, grammars.

hasty geyser
#

I appreciate your work. Thanks 👍 Have you guys heard anything about the new engine? Do you think they will be sticking with Papyrus?

honest python
#

I dont have any insider knowledge but I do think we will see a Papyrus 3.0 on their next mainline title.

#

Maybe Python? They tried to do Python scripting for Fallout 4 but ditched it at some point in development. Maybe they spent more time on it after Fallout 4?

hasty geyser
#

I hope they stick with it. It has taken me 5 years to learn how to use it. I can't spare another 5 learning something new. 😆 Would be nice to get some word on it form Bethesda as it is in use at this moment. I will talk to you later.

How do I get USSEP working on VR?

undone moss
#

Either use the older version of USSEP, which is 4.1.2a (if you can find a download of it), or use the compatibility patcher on Nexus (with the newest version of USSEP)

#

I'd go with Arthmoor's suggestion. He's the expert

undone moss

#

I mean Arthmoor is only the team lead of the USSEP team. Not like he doesn't know what he's talking about. 🙄

undone moss
#

well yeah, but is there really any harm in letting substill try it for comparison?

cursive raft
#

Well people are certainly welcome to break their game as they like. I personally prefer to use the Unofficial Patch so my gameisn't broken but to each their own. 🤷

undone moss
#

How are you so certain that it is broken?

#

I don't mean that to be rude either, but I've used it for hours and haven't seen any issue

cursive raft
#

Have you actually played it!?!

undone moss
#

uhh yes, that is why I am willing to suggest it

cursive raft
#

Then why wouldn't you want the best version of the UP and the patch suggested by Arthmoor?

undone moss
#

at the time, it was because people in the SkyrimVR modding subreddit recommended it to me. Now, it is because the older version works fine and I haven't had any issues

#

anyhow look I don't have anything against the patch, I was just mentioning the older version as a choice because I haven't seen any indication that there are things wrong with it

cursive raft
#

It's not common for the UP team to introduce new problems, so virtually every update just improves the game even more. I'd always keep it updated for a better game experience unless there's a known bad update that the team has suggested we wait for the next update. Sorry if I got a bit jumpy, there's been several people trying to trash the teams great work the last few days.

undone moss
#

I'm not trying to do that. Ultimately, finding ways to make it work for SkyrimVR shows just how essential it is as a mod imo 🙂

Seems like you would want the most up to date version.

#

Its usually Breezehome mods that were created for original skyrim that were released before Hearthfires was released. They can't simply be ported to SSE by the usual means due to the navmesh issue (as well as the extra stuff added by HF)

Need a bit of help. I found a mod on the nexus that pretty much covers what I need but before I create an account and even bother the author about possibly porting it to PS4 I was wondering if it’s actually possible due to the restrictions. Because it isn’t creating new items with armor ratings, it’s actually changing the clothes themselves.

pine crown
#

If it includes anything other than the .esp file itself, you cant upload that to PS4 because of Sony's restrictions.

karmic path
#

Ok thank you for the info 🙏 I guess I’ll just contact them and hope for the best. Always nervous for some reason sending messages out of the blue because it feels so intrusive. I got to get over it lol

pine crown
#

I just looked btw, that mod is just a .esp file so it would be able to be uploaded to PS4. You can check that on the files tab by clicking on the "Preview file contents" link.

Oh thats great to know thank you very much. With only mobile and no pc it was frustrating navigating nexus to begin with for me.

I am working on something I shouldn't. By working I mean more like staring blindly at tons of research and attempting not to slam my face into the keyboard over and over

And trying NOT to break the game in the process of creating this one

Didn't know you were a MA

I have 3 so far so I may NOT be counted as one in your eyes. lol

Green if you will. Being a mechanical engineer and engineering 3D models for the machines I build tends to lean in my favor for things like this.

#

and it doesn't help my nexus username doesn't match everything else. poor planning on my part

Lol... Hell probably moreso a MA than I if you're doing it from scratch... I'm, at most, tweaking a few existing mods and reuploading them

I am unable to find instructions on how to set up the Papyrus Error Logs in the 32 bit Creation Kit. If someone could direct me to some I would appreciate it.

rocky ginkgo
#

I believe that's what you're looking for

#

Though unlike what the article suggests, the papyrus logs aren't crash logs.

honest python
#

Heh, one of the first things the log itself says is that its not for crashes.

hasty geyser
tribal comet
#

I think the person was suggesting that it may help find an error in the code that is causing the crashing.
Except it won't help there. Skyrim isn't like Unity or a modern game-as-a-service where you have loggers running in separate, parallel processes that can stay alive when the parent process dies. The Papyrus logger is running in the same process as the game and when the game process crashes, all of it crashes at the same time. This means the Papyrus log will never log any unhandled exceptions because, in terms of timing, whatever happened occurred after the last log entry. Furthermore, it is a Papyrus log, not a game log; the Papyrus log receives only log output explicitly through the Papyrus VM. First, scripts are extremely unlikely to be sources of crashes, relative to every other source. Second, if you're getting log output from the Papyrus VM, the VM is working! Same process, remember, so the game is working. Even the code producing Papyrus errors is working! Now those scripts may not be producing the desired results, but it does mean the errors you see cannot be culprits.

Hey Fireundubh, Thanks for that information. I see your point. TBH I have never had to deal with crashes so I don't have much experience in running them down. However, in defense of this guy, it is possible ( although rarely ) that things logged right before the crash may be part of the problem. He is asking people who have used his mods to provide him with that information when they contact him about CTDs.

pine crown
#

You'd have better luck with the .NET Framework, assuming you can make sense of the output in the event of a game crash.

hasty geyser
#

Hey Guys, I have run down all the errors. Except this one. I remember having some issues with the installing of the tracking system before but I can not remember what I did to fix it. stack:

#

Good. Trying to figure out this animation mod

#

FYI BNet is having issues with ANY mod upload atm. I cant even update the description. Fingers crossed they are working on the upload/update correction!

gilded condor
#

This makes me feel somewhat fortunate in some wierd way that I'm not making anything fit for release anyway right now. I can't imagine the frustration of having to update something imminently for consoles and being unable to do so, having no control over it.. 😕

#

I hear it's been going on for quite a good bit.

compact plume
#

Yea Xbox releases only update to version 5 and then after that it just pretends to upload with no change. The only option is to upload a whole NEW mod which makes us loose all the favorites, likes, download counts etc. Not to mention that players have to actively search to see if the mod has an update. Sucks for the player who fancies a mod and they cant get their updates naturally

#

Of course no one really downloads pc mods from BNet very often and prefer to get from the Nexus. Uploading there is painless.

compact plume
#

I know I asked before but just in case anyone is listening. Does ANYONE know how animations call upon animobjects?

hasty geyser
compact plume
#

Whats up?

#

Cause that's how I feel atm lol

hasty geyser
compact plume
#

It's all good! The moment came last night and now the hard part has been figured out. Using the base game only, I replaced the animobject in the vanilla animation I am using without changing or renaming the animobject using armor addons.

hasty geyser
compact plume
#

Pickaxe mining and pickaxe

hasty geyser
#

Would you be able to give me a quick detailed rundown of exactly how you did it?

compact plume
#

Required several things but I can generalize.

#

Made mesh pickaxe weighted to like 1 finger of male hands. Exported from outfit studio to nifscope. Change it to armor slot 61. Created armoraddon in ck (duplicated gold ring) change biped model to my new mesh and tweaked a couple things. Created armor piece (duplicated ring) and changed armor add-on to the one made previously. Made armor adding and armor pieces for every pickaxe style. Adding all these items to form list to match the array of mineoretools formlist. Also have to remake the vanilla versions of pickaxe as armor add-ons and armor. Then add into vanilla script to call upon formlist and check players inventory for correct pickaxe and apply armor piece when mining. Change vanilla animobject to texture set of null(since it really never goes away. Just invisible)

#

Voila! Be on the look out for pickaxes that match your favorite ore! All craft able at forge. Working on spell to enchant for stalhrim once player finds the ancient nordic.

hasty geyser
#

Thanks. I have worked with armor add-ons in a somewhat similar way. It involved making a skeleton you could put armor on. Got any images of the Axes?

compact plume
#

Not currently. At pool with little lucias

hasty geyser
#

Tell her I said. "Have fun".

compact plume
#

lol i meant a bunch of little Lucia's(my girls, kids) I know punctuation is key lol

#

I am back home now and working on some more textures for the last few pickaxes. I should probably team up with someone who is better at texturing to deliver this mod lol

compact plume
#

Either way Ill post up some pics

hasty geyser
#

Sounds good. I would like to see them. We can have everyone vote on their favorite. lol

compact plume
#

Lol yea ok

#

here goes. Just remember I am terrible at textures. But the fact is, it works.....texture upgrade can always come later

#

It will add 10 new pickaxes to the game that can be crafted at any forge. They are Silver, Steel, Dwarven, Daedric, Ebony, Elven, Glass, Dragonbone, Orcish and Stalhrim.

hasty geyser
#

They look good to me. They look like they are part of the game. Craft a pickaxe and then the get to see it in use. 👍 When is this going to be released?

compact plume
#

It should be ready this evening.

hasty geyser
#

Well my friend. I am going to risk being attacked again to suggest this mod for a showcase video. It is a unique Mod.

compact plume
#

Nah. I mean There isn't one like it but not many people will care tbh lol I mean its a pickaxe. I only did it because i have this addiction where it is impossible for me to pass and ore vein without sinking my axe into it.

I do like it. It is immersive. Unfortunately, I have already made my suggestion. LOL Lets see what the peanut gallery comes up with this time. Not this one BTW. I like the peanuts here. HAHAHA

So this is probably an odd question, but for those mod authors who write quest/story mods - what is your writing process? Am relatively new to modding, yet I’m stupid ambitious, as I had a concept for a mod similar in scale to that of Maids 2. However, I keep bumping into writer’s block and such.

rocky ginkgo
#

Ah, I remember my early days of modding, and my many grand ideas of huge quest mods, with interconnected stories and countless characters. My advice? Start small. Ambition is great, but will only get you so far. Get some experience with smaller quest mods first of all, to not only get a feel for the writing process that works for you (and it will be largely unique to you. You can take advice from others and use their tips and techniques, but ultimately, over time, you'll craft your own personal creative process), but also to get a feel for actually building the quest in the Creation Kit (assuming you'll be the one building it, if not, you can disregard that point). Don't abandon the larger ideas, but maybe consider putting them on the back-burner for a bit, just while you're still learning. That's something I wish I'd done when I started modding, 'cause I tried starting with large quest mods as well, and ultimately I abandoned those projects and have only just recently in the past few months regained my interest and will to tackle even just smaller quest mods again. Basically what I'm saying is, don't burn yourself out on the big projects so early on. Start small and work your way up. I know how exciting it feels when you first start out and you have all these grand ideas, but the risk of screwing up a large quest mod far out-weighs the risk of screwing up a smaller quest mod, because the smaller one can be easily shrugged off as a learning experience.

As for writer's block in general, there are probably lots of ways around that. A few of my personal tips: Look at other stories for inspiration, listen to music that matches the vibe you're going for, or even just play Skyrim (or any other game!) and roleplay the story you want to tell, or even a completely different story, and just see where it takes you naturally, then take inspiration from that.

Wow that was a text wall. I'll leave you with that and shut up now lol.

dreamy gorge
#

With me it starts with how do I want to open it. Personally I don't write down before hand, I create the dialogue window and go from there. Some do like to plan ahead though. Writing Dwemer dialogue is pure fan fiction from me. Well it all stems from lore in some capacity, but that's my curse I follow the Lore

#

Loopholes ftw

#

I've taken on a medium sized project, but I've had story work done over 2 years. Almost done, got the main quest to finish and then make sure it works okay

@dreamy gorge I was going to reach out to you too....any need of a dwemer pickaxe in your story? Lol

Ok no problem. I was just thinking about your quest when I was texturing the dwemer pickaxe for my mod

I'd recommend it tho in my description 👀

I mean I don't know the full story of your quest line so I didn't know if you had some rare ore involved or anything

It's too tempting not too

I "restored" those summon Dwarven Automatons spells

Not much restoring because they were never cut. It's what the Aetherial Staff uses for summoning

Also you can conjure anything if you know how 👀

The Ballista crashes my game on multiple summons so it is cut out. You can spawn it with cheats tho

I've learned so much but my fear is it will be a buggy launch. Chances are it won't be that buggy because I haven't found a bug, yet. Only issue I came across was the Ballista Summon crashing my game. Unless you count me having an unorganised file group

I have 2 prefixes that i either swap out if it's unique or merge them into one incase someone else uses the number

#

Man, I really suck at navmesh

#

I’m just using recast generation w/ manual cleanup after all the passes because am not good at it

#

Works surprisingly well with exteriors from the looks of it.

#

My only real complaint is that the navmesh isn’t the most solid when it comes to things like roofs of buildings and such, but I generally find that generating navmesh for specific objects when needed fixes that.

gilded condor
#

I personally find it best to just do the whole thing manually. Manual navmesh is definitely way better for optimization and cleanliness as well.

tribal comet
dreamy gorge
#

I've come to hate the optimise button on the navmesh toolbar

#

It breaks stuff in my case. Idk about anyone else

sharp helm
#

know what you're doing, and do stuff by hand

dreamy gorge
#

I do now, it's easier, if it breaks I did something

rocky ginkgo
#

Agreed, optimise breaks my navmesh too. I don't need it though, my navmesh is fine.

hasty geyser
#

You are supposed to do it but I have not done it and the Navmesh worked fine. I would recommend it. If your Navmesh is in an existing cell you need to take the form ID from that cells navmesh and put into yours. You should be able to find more detailed instructions on that elsewhere. Make sure to test it using COC so you do not run into game save issues during testing.

sharp helm
#

supposed to do what?
use the optimise button?

hasty geyser
#

Yes

dreamy gorge
#

I was using it but during testing in my custom worldspace it broke something and the NPCs couldn't figure it out. So I started doing the process manually and with as little dots as possible.

hasty geyser
#

Did you test it COC?

sharp helm
#

eww, that optimise button is crap

hasty geyser
#

Interesting.

dreamy gorge
#

I can only get COC working in my cells, the world I can't get to work

#

But it works

#

I test every NPC before I move on, I like them to work before I do the next task

hasty geyser
#

You need to test your navmesh by going into the cell via console command.

dreamy gorge
#

Like I say the COC command won't work on my Worldspace, it works fine in Cells however

#

idk why tho

#

The game won't show it as a cell

#

When I use it on my Interiors I get placed in the middle of the Navmesh, no issues

hasty geyser
#

I would not know either. I suspect someone else would though. Test in COC when you can. Gamesave issues can waste allot of your time.

dreamy gorge
#

I see the console as optional, they can just unlock the door that are locked

#

It's good for tested them

#

Instead of spawning all the gear that I need to speed run, by doing it one by one I have a dev chest with it all when making new toons to test new Quest changes

#

Sequence breaking which i also test. So you don't have those annoying uncompleted Quest objectives. Might only bother me tho VaultOmegalul

#

Does anyone know how the COC markers work?

sharp helm
#

you might need to COW when you're trying to go into an unnamed cell in a world

compact plume

moo

sharp helm
#

when you coc to a cell, if it has a coc marker, you're placed there

dreamy gorge
#

I never knew that's how it worked

#

I'm dumb lol

sharp helm
#

what did you do?

dreamy gorge
#

I thought I needed to tie it to something and had only one in my worldspace

sharp helm
#

each cell needs its own

#

or, well, can have its own

dreamy gorge
#

I have one in my custom worldspace at the start of it but I didn't know the game does the work for me

#

At the start because of a Quest end trigger and a begin trigger

So this question is more or less directed at any BGS employees that worked on Skyrim SE - How did you guys do Navmesh for exterior cells? The generation tool included in the CK admittedly isn't the best and I suck at navmesh

sharp helm
#

I assume they just copied LE's NavMeshes

uneven crown
sharp helm
#

Most of the NavMesh in wilderness areas looks auto-generated, but i assume for unique locations they at least brushed it up by hand

uneven crown
#

I assume so, but I'm mostly trying to find out if/how to automate it as much as possible. Like I said, I'm not the best at navmesh. I can make a good outdoor area, but as much as I've tried, I'm hopeless at navmesh Sadge

sharp helm
#

From my experience, manual generation will always produce better results than any automatism

uneven crown
#

No disagreement there, just don't wanna do a whole worldspace by hand

mild peak
#

Gotta be able to say, "good enough", because doing any sort of sizeable worldspace by hand, ain't worth it.

sharp helm
#

There are settings for Auto generation in regions, if i remember correctly

compact plume
#

It's all about how serious you are about making a good mod. Taking the time and making the commitment will show when you put it up there. When I 1st started and I saw the mess left behind by Beth, I was like well f*** that. One cell at a time though. It looks daunting but it gets so much easier.

#

I find recast navmesh gen is fine for interior cells and clean up is minimal. You can hide things before generation that can make it easier since triangle vertices like to cling to movable statics and other things.

#

In exterior I prefer (Trying to remember here) Havok based nav gen? There is a box you can check in the top left that says something like height based navmesh gen (I think). That's the best one I find in exterior cells.

Once it's done, finalize it and exit navmesh. Depress Alt+T. This hides all trees(I hate trees in CK. It's impossible to work around them.) Now go BACK into navmesh and clean the cells by hand. Selecting 1 vertice, hold control and select another vertice. That will join them. Yellow lines will start to disappear which is what you want to see. With a little patience and determination, npc will navigate with ease. Also know where your borders are of the cell. It helps when you are making new vertices.

are creation club items worth buying?

sharp helm
#

depends
some are great, some not so much
some are expensive, some are relatively cheap

#

I think many add some nice content, but most of the time they are overpriced for what they deliver
unless you truely want someting, I suggest you wait for a sale

rocky ginkgo
#

Forgotten Season is 100% worth it, Saints and Seducers is very good as well.

dreamy gorge
#

Mentioning Saints and Seducers, why are the assets defaulted in the SE kit? They are near identical. I don't use them ofc idk how it works. Because it's default do you need to buy the pack to make a mod with those assets or what?

echo pivot
#

do they break your game?

dreamy gorge
#

No, I'm helping someone who accidently used them

#

I discovered what the assets were for and I knew the CC policy

#

It's just me being curious 😄

sharp helm
#

the assets are what?

dreamy gorge
#

Bassically defaultly in the SE kit you have some of the assets for Saints and Seducers.

sharp helm
#

they packed the root dungen assets in Update.bsa

#

I remember @night rover mentioning it, and being curious to see what people would build with them

#

so far, I haven't seen anything done with them

dreamy gorge
#

They appear to be used in the Saints pack

#

Listed as ccBGS

sharp helm
#

yeah, but non-CC-creators

#

I have started a dungeon in which I plan to use these assets, but haven't gotten far as I'm not that great of a level designer

dreamy gorge
#

So you don't need the pack to use them?

sharp helm
#

the assets are there, you'll have to manually create Forms fro them, though, I think

dreamy gorge
#

Intresting, I'll let them know. Thanks 😄

sharp helm
#

it's not the whole S&S CC that's in there, but the root dungeon base parts are

dreamy gorge
#

I like helping others that are new, but somethings are better to be asked

#

I haven't used those assets myself. I'm keeping my content as Dwemer as possible. Did you know BGS left in an entire Dwemer Mzark tower Exterior? I could be dumb and not noticed it's used somewhere tho

sharp helm
#

left where?

dreamy gorge
#

Just in the files

#

In the kit sry

sharp helm
#

how is the Tower of Mzark different from, well, other towers/lifts?

dreamy gorge
#

It almost fits perfectly

#

Well it appaears to be part of the Astrolabe but the game says it's unused

#

Works for either Dwemer tower

#

Photos included from the Kit

#

I used the old kit for this incase it was me taking in CC content, but it's default

#

I had a wave of Anxiety wuuuuuu

night rover
#

The root dungeon kit was included in the base game as a modder resource. There are a few mods that have used the root pieces, and a few more that use the mushrooms. One good example is Identity Crisis by Slime Sire:

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/39634
https://bethesda.net/en/mods/skyrim/mod-detail/4176184

While the root dungeon kit is something of an exception, as a modder resource, in general Creation Club discussion belongs in #skyrim-chat. The Modding channels are for community made and released content.

#

Cool, my bad. I'll remember next time

echo pivot
#

People will never look at CC content as something different than mods even though it is. Easy to understand the confusion.

sharp helm
#

I remember that one!
I have to play through that

night rover
#

Completely understand why folks view creations as mods. Different folks define things in different ways.

We draw a hard line between community released content (mods) and official releases (creations, DLC, games, et cetera). When we talk about "mods," we are specifically talking about content made/released by the community.

Since others define things differently the waters are muddy. But we work to preserve this distinction in our official channels.

dreamy gorge
#

All my CC questions are over now, but next time I will move it to the right channel 😄

#

Nearly ready to show off my mod. Hoping to be done mid next month

I do have a trailer but I don't want to shamefully share it, I'm pretty sure It's not allowed, also my Voice sucks lmao

You can't advertise a personal Discord server, but it's perfectly fine to share mod releases, including trailers. I do appreciate you asking!

Yea I had issues uploading but I was able to get thru. Hopefully it's them trying to fix the ability to update mods.

pine crown
#

Last they posted on the uploading issue was that they think they have a solution but no ETA. That whole "5 updates" bug is pretty annoying.

compact plume
#

yup.....tired of uploading "NEW" mods lol

pine crown
#

Heh, that's one solution I guess but it would be even more annoying for the users who are seeing it new instead of as an update.

compact plume
#

Yes. It's frustrating. Users can't get their updates without disabling, deleting, downloading, enabling and hoping everything is where they left it lol

tender vapor
#

ahh thanks for the heads up Arthmoor

#

I'd not heard about this

#

I've been having issues since last night

hasty geyser
#

Ladies and Gentlemen ( I am obviously using that term loosely here ) I need to clarify something. I recently responded to a comment regarding the"optimize" navmesh button. I said that "you are supposed to do it and I recommend it". It has been a over a year since I did any navmeshing and I thought the person was referring to the "finalize" navmesh button. I have never tried the optimize button. Please accept my apology.

dreamy gorge
#

I felt dumb when I found out what the tick did

#

I was wondering why the NPC wasn't using doors

tender vapor
#

what does optimize do?

#

I've done very little navmeshing so far

dreamy gorge
#

I think it tries and make less triangles which can mess with specific paths

#

It'll move the dots around and remove some

#

I'm not sure tho, I stopped using it on my first week

compact plume
#

In my experience you should only hit the optimize button if you want every triangle in that cell to have a yellow border around it 🤣

sharp helm
#

yeah, finalize is basically a must, optimize is not really helpful

night rover
#

@tender vapor I read all of your comments in Despereaux's voice, really adds some class to the channel!

tender vapor
#

truly excellent

#

I wouldn't have it any other way

uneven crown
sharp helm
#

throught the CK

uneven crown
#

Ah, you do it directly through the CK?

#

I've always contemplated publishing my WIP mod to Beth.net

gilded condor
#

Upload through CK, but not published for public view until done so on the site.

#

So if your testing anything on a console machine for example before anybody sees it, you can do that.

uneven crown
#

I don’t have a console Sadge

hasty geyser
#

When I get a chance I will have a look and see what the "optimize" button it does. All of the Navmesh I have done has been connected to the existing so I did not want to apply anything like that to it.

dreamy gorge
#

I have to test my mod when i do major overhauls in Skyrim VR. Lol That's an experience. I do that because I don't want just my SE to work, I like to see how packing up and such works. I know what to take over but I like to test every few weeks on VR and see if it's doable and things are translating.

#

My SE is for quick testing on smaller stuff

hasty geyser
#

Is there a place to specifically upload VR Mods?

dreamy gorge
#

No, it falls under SE modding

#

Nearly all SE mods work in VR, some need patches tho

#

I think the patches needed are for Script Extender stuff

hasty geyser
#

I don't use it.

dreamy gorge
#

Script Extender is like second nature for me. I've never found a use for it personally so far, but a few of the mods I use need it

tender vapor
#

usually Tanis yells at me if anything is broken

#

speaking of @echo pivot have you tried Gladys?
some people have told me the merchant's lips don't move

#

I can't test it

dreamy gorge

#

I could never get my First Person Dialogue Camera working on Xbox

#

I didn't try that hard though because it is no longer being supported

#

My VR game didn't like the .esp for some reason. Quests wouldn't start and such, idk why

#

Now I make the esp a esm file before testing outside of SE

tender vapor
#

I learned the other day that .esls don't work on VR

dreamy gorge
#

Interesting

tender vapor
#

I should say ESPFE

#

they work, but they count toward the 255 limit

If packing into a bsa does everything beside the ESM or ESP go into it. Sounds like a dumb question

You'd think when Bethesda.net Mods were down I'd have less to do, but it unfortunately isn't the case! Although I may be reviewing my To Do list tomorrow to see what I should be doing with Nexus content. 🙂

Sometimes I playtest mods on Bethesda.net, sometimes I playtest mods on Nexus, simple as that.

#

More often Bethesda.net, since it means the mods I play can be considered for Bethesda.net features. But I don't ignore mods hosted elsewhere. 🙂

dreamy gorge

All my future mods will be both on Nexus and B.Net. I'm sad I can't do it for my first debut, but it's not in my hand. It's the maker of the Dwemer race mod I use. 😩

Thanks. I want to strictly do Dwemer content. It's kinda my thing lol. I will do a Fallout 4 house mod after a short break, but mostly Dwemer shenanigans when I do TES mods

hasty geyser
compact plume
#

Yep. They are glowing alright

#

Is it live yet?

hasty geyser
#

Ya, Steam and AFK. Coming soon to Xbox and SE.

compact plume
#

Is it for UNREAD books? Or books that you have NOT taken and placed in your inventory?

#

And does it show UNREAD glowing in your inventory?

hasty geyser
#

Only the unread books glow. This was allot of fun. I am firing functions to and from quest aliases. It has allowed me to simplify the code. It keeps all of the properties and functions local to each alias. Great results with some really odd behaviors.

#

No but that is a great idea. I have not gotten a chance to work with the Menu yet.

#

I am going to be creating a function that will track books that are obtained from chests and read from the menu.

compact plume
#

I don't know how hard it will be but there are different forms for the menu vs in world

#

In menu would be static versions

hasty geyser
#

I guess you could try to run down how the menu deals with enchanted armor as opposed to non-enchanted. There is another issue. In order to check if I book has been read ( without skse ) it needs to be a reference alias of a quest. Unless you put onread() on every book. But even if you did that it would not work with most of them because the game would not return what book it was unless it was a persistent reference. Interesting idea and not impossible. The function to check books taken from chests will have to force each book into a quest alias.

#

How is your Pick-axe mod coming along?

compact plume
#

Meh

#

I keep running into things. So many variables. If Else etc

#

how it works with npcs vs player, what item the npc has or doesn't have

#

like I had one where the NPC started mining with an invisible pickaxe.

#

But at this point, I know I have said it before, it's REALLY close.

#

The ONLY thing I have to fix now is re-equipping the weapon that the player had equipped prior to mining

#

right now if you finish mining a vein, and you draw your weapon, its just fists.

#

I'm hyped for it 👀 I have a distraction on my end but I'm awaiting

# compact plume right now if you finish mining a vein, and you draw your weapon, its just fists.

Hard to say without seeing exactly what you are doing. I ( and others hopefully ) can help you if you make a post over at AFK. I have not worked with that animation so I am not sure what is calling all of the events and the best way to catch the weapon or maybe even spell. Like to see the code. Everybody's hyped about this! But we all understand you need to take your time and relax so everything is up to your standards.

I havent.

#

Those are for the log to test the functions of the quest.

you didnt pick up: a complete guide to homesteading?

hasty geyser

I don't think that was one of the books I put in the cell. I checked this in helgen on a clean save and it was still doing it. But if enabling the quest enabled this it most likely would.

#

I do want to clarify something. I was not picking up and dropping anything until yesterday, only reading books. Because this is BYO if it was only 1 or 2 items I may not have even noticed it. If anyone is using the 32bit kit ( not sure it will make a difference ) and has the time to look in the log after they pick something up and drop it, I would appreciate a report. As @compact plume pointed out. It may not occur until you read the BYO Book " a complete guide to homesteading".

Yo. I’ve been thinking of a lot of different mod I’d like to make. I wanted to share them.

#

I had a thought to make a mod where there were deeper meanings and effects to shouts so that the player would really have to be educated in warring with their mouths in order to defeat enemies that can shout. Dragons. Draugr. Etc.

#

Like, Fus from Unrelenting Force wouldn’t just stagger the player or enemies at higher levels, it would spiritually oppress the recipients with the negative meaning of it, decreasing the amount of damage and force that the player can put out unless they speak back and put their foot down to counter it.

#

They’d have to shout back with the same level of Unrelenting Force to undo the effects of it, and hit back with a stronger level of it to turn the tables on the other.

#

This would be sort of complex, but I like the thought of it.

sharp helm
#

So of you don't know the respective shout yet you're doomed?

What can I say, I like hardcore experiences? But it wouldn’t be all over. There could be ai worked out to make some enemies begin with less powerful versions of the shout and players could creatively “change the subject” of the argument. Say, a Draugr uses Marked for Death on you, the first word being “Kill”. It’s sapping you of life at a rapid pace, but you know the first word of Aura Whisper, and retort back, “Life!”, undoing the effects of that shout and restoring your health maybe.

#

The only experience I got to have like this in vanilla Skyrim was fighting Alduin on the Throat of the World, where he kept using his meteor shout and I kept using clear skies to shut it down.

honest python
#

Sounds like a neat idea but you need to mature the idea a bit more. Maybe start with a spreadsheet of all the shouts, then start defining interactions between them.
With the death vs life shout example, you have enough of an idea to at least begin a small prototype.

teal kestrel
#

That’s what I was thinking, write all the shouts down and interpret the different ways they could interact with each other.

#

It would be neat to create a book that players could read in game to learn how to use the words effectively in different situations.

honest python
#

I foresee some technical challenges already but a prototype will let you begin finding solutions.

honest python
teal kestrel
#

Technical challenges like what?

sharp helm
#

Still, what happens if we don't know detect life?

honest python
#

There are always challenges even for things that seem simple. I was going to list out some potential things, but Ill let the prototype speak for itself.

sharp helm
#

Also, does that mean we'll have to memorize each word (in dragon language) and its counterwords?

honest python
teal kestrel
# sharp helm Still, what happens if we don't know detect life?

Perhaps the player is a vampire, and knows the third word of Soul Tear? You could say “Zol”, Zombie, and turn that death energy into enormous power, increasing shout strength, reducing cooldown times, rejuvenating energies, there’s room for much creativity.

#

It’s not that easy to kill what is already dead.

honest python

Download the Creation Kit.

teal kestrel
# sharp helm Also, does that mean we'll have to memorize each word (in dragon language) and i...

I was thinking that when words are learned, instead of just only being assigned to the three words were used to, they could be added individually. When players are in a fight where shouting is used, they could get messages in the top left corner after enemies use shouts, saying what they used and why they did it. A dragon could use the fear shout on you, and the message could come across, “Odaviing thinks you are a coward.” Then the status effects could be brought to your attention.

#

That’s when you could decide out of your vocabulary how to respond. Address his argument with the word Valor or take the status effect and lash out at him instead. His name begins with Snow. You could shout Summer in that context and get under his skin. Like, there is no Snow in Summer. What you’d be telling him is that he is nothing.

#

That could cause him to fly into a fit of rage, making him more dangerous, but exposing him to more damage.

The new SE CK is refusing to compile scripts from the original Kit. It used to. Does anyone know of a way to do it?

#

You are talking about the CK Mod from the Nexus? No I am basically just working in the 32 bit kit and porting the Mod to SE. I am not sure that would help in this case. I have previously added about 200 scripts to the SE CK form the 32 bit kit with no issue.

Read the description on nexus/bnet?

#

Guess it depends on what you mean by stuff.

proud apex

#

Comments on Bnet are gone. You are a MA? Probably best to ask people to find you on this discord or your own if you have one for comments/questions.

proud apex
echo pivot
#

If you want feedback you need to do something. Up to you. If it’s on nexus then just use nexus IMO.

proud apex
#

I don't know how to set any of that up.

echo pivot
#

Where are your mods published? Just Bethesda?

proud apex
#

bethesda only.

echo pivot
#

Ah. Yea. If you want people to use your mods on PC then Nexus is the way to go. Create and account. Go from there. Plus they have a fully functional comments section.

proud apex
#

All my stuff is mostly on xbox.

echo pivot
#

Oh. Then either ask them to find you here or create your own discord.

proud apex
#

I have only 2 on PC plus I already have a nexus account

#

create my own server?

compact plume
# proud apex All my stuff is mostly on xbox.

I have my mods on both. Nexus is a great platform and like @echo pivot said, for PC nexus is the way to go. Otherwise, I created a discord channel for those xboxers to comment. I also directed them to my nexus so they could do the same.

#

yes

#

dont be surprised though that no one shows up in your server. most people do not want to have ANOTHER account to do stuff. If its not easy they will just move on. So people who actually care will jump on and make a discord or head to the nexus to comment.

echo pivot
#

I can’t find your mods on Bnet. Link?

proud apex
#

I have 24 published mods. will I have to add my discord server to each mod description?

compact plume
#

if you want feedback? yes

#

you can make different channels for each mod if you wish as well. It will help you organize bugs and such

#

that way you aren't crazy trying to figure out which mod a player is discussing

proud apex
#

I made a server. I'll set it up more later on my phone. I'm on my computer.

#

I like the thought of over leveraging stats with scarcity to create a more realistic survival experience. Like, in vanilla, the three stats regenerate on their own well enough that there isn’t much of a demand on those resources. But if nothing regenerates on its own, it would create a finite pool of s energies that would have to be used wisely until the player sleeps. Things could even be tied to fatigue level to naturally set a cap of how much could be regenerated by concoctions, which could end up depleting health if too many are taken on a day. The trade off is actions taken with these resources would be much more dangerous than in vanilla. Every single weapon in the game would be capable of landing a killing blow on an un armored NPC. Health wouldn’t be too high as a rule and weapon damage would be exceeding high, even daggers would be capable of putting down unarmored NPCs in one or two strikes + the bleeding damage they cause. All bladed weapons would be capable of causing bleeding damage, which wouldn’t just drain health, but stamina as well. The only thing protecting against receiving deadly wounds and bleed damage would be if the material of your armor is stronger than the material of the weapon coming against it.

#

This would create an environment where the better armed and better trained win hands down almost all the time. I know there’s mods out there that overhaul ai to make people fight better with more technique and sense. That would be perfect for this mod.

#

A single fireball would be extraordinarily dangerous to most human sized enemies. It would probably consume a great amount of energy and skill to pull off but it would be worth it. I wanted to unshakle Fire from extinguishing so easily, so not only would the impact of the explosion damage everyone nearby and fling people away like unrelenting force, the fires would eat people alive unless it’s raining or they jumped in water or had some other method to extinguish the flames, like a potion or something, or they blocked with a good shield and were spared from the worst of the blast. But after unleashing that one fireball, I’d like for novice to to average users of that kind of thing to be tapped out for the DAY.

#

You’ve got to get some rest before you can do that again.

#

Obviously, this would make it very hard to do stuff like this, but that’s what I’m going for and it would inspire the player to commit to a play style of clever preparation and workarounds.

#

Like, creating jewelry with soul gems to boost your resources would be a big thing. It wouldn’t boost your resources by a meager amount, but by 250, 500, 1000, 2000, etc.

#

They’d be much more rare or hard to create or come across though.

hasty geyser
compact plume
#

It's done?!?!?!?! @hasty geyser

teal kestrel
#

What kind of work would be needed if I wanted to bring the For Honor type of combat into Skyrim? If you don’t know what For Honor is or how it’s played, basically, once a player holds the guard position with any number of medieval fighters, they gain the option to choose between a high guard, left guard and a right guard in order to block attacks from those directions. Players have to watch for changes in enemy posture to switch their defense so that they can block in the right place, otherwise they take a hit. There are some bells and whistles on this model, dodging, parrying, feinting, etc, but I thought with an optional set up like this, Skyrim would be a lot more engaging in terms of combat if it had a 1st and 3rd person system like this.

Hey guys 🙂 so I was thinking of getting a laptop. Not for gaming but it would be nice to have something other then my phone for everything. This is my budget is limited. I figured if I was going to get one, maybe it could also be used to port mods (with permission of course) and maybe even play around trying to make things myself.

#

So I was wondering if this laptop would be able to run the creation kit at least. Mind you I have no intention of actually playing skyrim on it. Just using it to have a go with mods.

Keep in mind that windows 10 is the slowest OS wonderfully made by Microsoft right out of the box. (<---This was the blanket statement) [Although the rest of this message is true, it is really based on the crappy hardware that isn't really up to the standard of running this OS. Cheap computers are flooding the marketplace so that people can afford them but need serious doctoring just to get them to function properly.] It runs so many things in the background via internet that it ends up using 100% cpu usage about 90% of the time. The better the computer, the better your experience will be. The better the internet, the better your computer will be. Lately they are putting out crap garbage computers that are affordable but don't work for anything. There are things you can do if you research to turn off certain features to increase the computers speed. One of them being disabling Cortana. (Done in your registry.. so be careful) All this was done in an effort to catch pirated software but it's a huge crippling affect on the system. I bought 2 laptops before I gave up and just saved up for a Republic of Gamers laptop. Best thing I ever did. It can handle game graphics, graphic design and 3d modeling as well as the creation kit with its searching of 1000's of files. Avidly research. Know that windows 10 is inherently broken and requires adjustment, and always get more than you need. -----I edited this because I made a very blanket statement about Win10 that needed correcting-----

If by procedural worldspace generation you mean the heightmap and OPALS, then sure. Pretty sure they did the rest of the passes by hand, except for the general worldspace navmesh.

I don't deny that they have their extra extra proprietary tools hidden away from public access that may have streamlined some of that, but I also don't deny the high probably that they also did most of it by hand too.

#

we were always so close.. got plenty of different coins out there but never exactly this

so do i get it correctly that they end up as seperate items in your inventory and then add up into the gold value with which you can actually buy things?

or do i end up with like say 2mil.5 septims in my inv

#

with the .5 being invisible id guess

tender vapor
#

When you pick up a coin it will be turned into gold automatically. I have a quest set up to track the worth of each coin. So you need to pick up 15 Drakr to get 1 Septim, but you won't be able to see that in your inventory until you pick up the fifteenth Drakr

Hey Darth, With PS4 that is a great question. There are a couple of ways. With PS4 you are allowed to change script properties but not create new scripts. So if you can find a vanilla script that adds a spell to the player, you could get it done that way. Here is another option: You could make a start game enabled quest, create a reference alias and fill that reference with the player. It is easy use specific reference and add the player. You will see a section that says "alias spells". Add your spell to it and if your spell is working you are good to go.

echo pivot
#

thanks ,i m not sure i understand the 2nd option lol

Create a quest and save it. Make sure it is start game enabled. Click on the Aliases tab, right click on the white part. Select "new reference alias" and follow the steps above.

Hey everyone. Beginner modder here.. sorta.. Been at it for 2 months tbh, im also playing around with blender seeing if I can add some idles.. such a complex and impressive program btw 👌.. My nephew also plays skyrim on xbox, I actually came in to ask HOW DID modders manage to port some animations to the xbox? Don't they require FNIS and SKSE? I'm finding some mods already on there that need those scripts Aren't they complicated to work around?

#

If anyone can explain how this is even possible would be great

#

I've not heard about this..what mods are these? Are you certain they are custom, non-BGS animations?

That's textures, I was referring to effects like food doing more than just restoring 5 points to Health and all that ^^;

Survival Mode makes food useful.

But I don't want to do survival. I just want a food mod that makes food more essential. Like giving you a buff depending on what type of food you're eating. Like ESO or whatever.

Good day everyone. I was wondering if it would be possible to make a mod request for the PS4: Hunter's Guild Hall. Basically, the exterior would be Thirsk, interior also Thirsk and basement would be the Companions' residential facility. Maybe sprinkle some animal trophies like what you can get in Hearthfire?

#

As for location, I think somewhere in Falkreath hold would be most appropriate, perhaps along the road of Lake Ilinalta or near the intersection close to Fort Sunguard, across the road and near Sunderstone

Hi everyone one of the mods on xb1 is affecting couple of my followers and I think it's the no more dead followers mod

I am creating a custom black book that teleports the player to a cell in Apocrypha to update the settings for Unread Books Glow Super. Trying to make it more immersive. I like to use shadows with lighting when I can, but that structure in front there combined with the water causes a kaleidoscope type of effect, most prevalent on the player, when shadows are used. It has been a couple of years since I did anything so I am having a little fun working off the rust.

Hey guys 🙂 having an issue with a couple of mods. Fatherland sons and fatherland daughters. I downloaded both from bnet for the PC bottom of my load order and they don’t seem to have any effect at all. I even tried disabling everything but these two mods and still they don’t work. I feel like I’m missing something obvious.

Other than I am a gluten for punishment? lol I want to keep it updated and be able to address any potential issues quickly. I use Steam for the 32 bit version ( 14 downloads ) and Bethesda.net for Xbox and PC SE. I am not sure how many other platforms I could support right now.

I'm looking for a "MisterB" for console, I have some issues I'd like to address for their recent mod "The Magic of Food and Drink". I've made a list but I'll simply give a few examples and see where we can go from there. You can correct me on any of these issues should I be wrong as I have not 100% fully explored this mod or so I believe but these are what I've encountered through my journey thus far.

-Two versions of Apple Pie, one of them requiring that of Chicken Breasts which I assume this Apple Pie was supposed to be the Meat Pie
-Steamed Mushrooms provide no Magicka regeneration despite its effects saying 6% Magicka Recharge for 0 seconds
-Raw Venison in the inventory menu are all grey instead of brown, I know this is because of the texture overhaul used in the mod, which is an odd choice?
-Shein increases Stamina by 15 for 0 seconds
-Slaughterfish and Bears don't drop their meat, where as Bears only drop Raw Beef
-Can't plant and farm Onions?
-Snowberry Mead does not apply a 10% movement speed reduction like all the other meads

Hey there @hidden hinge someone told me about this comment, since I was not a member of this discord yet. Thank you for catching some of the errors in the mod. I will answer what I can. No you cannot plant or farm Onions, When I can figure that out. I might throw it in. As of right now, its pretty common to find them in barrels & sacks. The Snowberry Mead was intentionally left without that movement speed reduction, and honestly, the movement speed reduction is not working as stated. As it does it by 50% despite the fact otherwise. As for the Raw Venison, I am not sure why in your game they appear grey?! I am not using any texture overhauls for the food.

hidden hinge
# brave narwhal Hey there <@!307679007049121793> someone told me about this comment, since I was...

Thank you for the reply, thank you for telling me about the onions since throughout my travels I've only gathered up a few of them and I mostly live my life in Skyrim as a farmer lol. As for the Raw Venison, I know there is indeed a texture overhaul for the food, more specfically from the texture mod "Realistic HD Food" as you can see in the link. Although the modpage does not show any image of the Raw Venison in question, the texture mod is known to alter Raw Venison in turning it gray since I've used it once before and people who have or are using this texture can back me up on that.

Yes I do use that food texture overhaul, but that shouldn't effect what ever you use. Unless I'm missing something xD

hidden hinge
#

Oh no, the only thing the texture overhaul it effects negatively is just the raw venison. All other foods as I can see are working just fine. I believe all you have to do is remove the texture files for the raw venison and the issue with the grey venison will be solved ^^

brave narwhal
#

Well i have looked at that particular model. The grey is essentially the outside skin still intact. As the upper portion of the model is the side cut of the meat.

#

Which is red.

#

But yeah, a weird choice

hidden hinge
#

Yes, that's the problem I'm having. I think it's more of a personal bias but it's just weird that the outside skin of the meat is grey? Where as for the most part deer are usually brown in Skyrim? Unless we're specifically hunting the reindeer of Skyrim, it's a weird texture for sure.

Anyone know how I can upload .ini files to console?

hasty geyser

The only way I know of is via code, but that only works on some settings. I would also like to know if there is another way. I have an INI file that makes books a little bigger when you read them, but I can not get it to work on PC or Xbox. The code is ignored. It is not ignored on 32bit. You can test naming an INI file the name of your mod. YourMod.esp - YourMod.INI. It will be packed. Only test that I suspect it may shut down the esp.

I have a custom follower request for ps4 can anyone help me with that? I've been looking everywhere without sucess so far

Im not sure if its possible to customize the face of a follower in PS4 but can we customize the hair? I could pick any pre existing face from an npc

craggy turret

I could be wrong, but I don't think you can customize anything for PS4 that would require external assets. You could put, for example, Maven's hair on Lydia, but you couldn't use a mod like Apachii hair.

What are you looking for? weapons, skills, homes, texture overhauls? What are you looking to change? We don't do well with very general questions. Be more specific and we can help 🙂 If you are looking to stack your load order with the basics, there are tons of lists created by users and post to youtube and the web for a starting point but everyone has there own taste which you will develop your own as well.

Bad news guys, We are having to discontinue the Unread Book Tracking Functions in the Menu. Unfortunately, unless an object reference is persistent or there is only one in the players inventory, object references are not very precise in inventories. For example if you had 50 books ( all with more than one copy ) with unique object references in the players inventory, unless they were persistent, the game would show several of them as having the same object reference. Also, we have had some time to do testing on the INI and this will not work when uploaded to Bethesda.net ( YourMod.esp - YourMod.INI ). It is ignored, and the code is ignored. So we are unable to include the feature that enlarges the books, making them easier to read, unless we can find another way to do it. Sorry guys we did our best.

#

Books that are read in the players inventory are still being tracked and if an unread book is dropped it will glow and be tracked.
