Anti-Scaling mod Compatibility Issue, Help? : IV

» Tue Dec 13, 2011 6:10 am

Hi all. I just started using Duke Patrick's Combat mods and although it mostly works fine with the anti-scaling mods, there is an issue where if another mod is installed that influenced weapon stats, the damage stats will explode to very high values. I have tested with Tamriel Immersion Experience on and off and the damage can be almost five times as high when both are active.

So I am thinking that I need an anti-scaling mod that either leaves these stats alone or includes stat changes as modular. Any advice?

The mods I know of that address scaling issues are OOO, FCOM, ROM, Fran and TIE. Are there any others?

I was about to install fran and try that out, but I figured it would be faster to just see if anyone using DP combat mods already had a solution...

You should read the http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/820948-scaling-overhaul-comparison/.

Actually the only overhauls that remove scaling is TIE, WAC, OWC ND. The others (FCOM, OOO, Frans, ROM, and to a limited extent Warcry) actually alter the scaling.

And perhaps the last TIE thread where http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1165418-tie-tamriel-immersion-experience/page__view__findpost__p__17802146 to this problem. (just read from there on)

to quote Arthmoor:

This patch you're talking about to reverse all the weapon stat changes would almost certainly break something in the balance. The up side I suppose is that it would take all of 10 seconds to create since it would be the world's largest deliberate dirty edit collection ever made

to quote Arthmoor:

Thanks! Yay, so happy I can still use TIE :celebration:

Also glad I think I actually did something right with tes4edit

Edit: Still doesn't work :/ messes up the TIE structure too much and still doesn't fix the fact that the duke patrick mod adds too many damage multipliers so I still die with one hit to the foot, end up doing silly running tricks rather than actually fighting. Guess the only fix for me is to get rid of the combat mod since I don't want to play with armor. Thanks for the help anyway though.

Edit-Edit: Haha, oooh, :facepalm: I didn't realize you could set the ini to 0 and completely prevent damage changes. I was running it at 0.08 and weapons still had an average damage of 20 (but rusty weapons did 0 damage). Doesn't help with the creature scaling I don't think, since wolves still kill me in one bite.
