Description

A wise old person once started a thread in the BGS forums with these words:

We've all done it at some point - Wished that Bethesda would fix the damned thing *show of rage* ... and add some of those godsend features that would make life so much easier.

Unfortunately, nothing ever came of it. Beth moved on to creating more trouble with the GECK, leaving us in the dust with an aging, one-legged buzzard. But hope springs eternal. I've created this thread just in case a lone (and handsome) vagabond chances upon it and takes to themself the task of fattening the damned bird.

*tumbleweeds fly* *the wind makes an obscene sign in the sand* *the snow…oh* *the smoke clears, albeit slowly*

“Well, I’ve been told that I’m handsome…”




Fine Print

The Construction Set Extender is a lone and handsome vagabond OBSE plugin that enhances the TES4 CS by fixing various bugs and adding new tools. One may say it makes the CS what it was meant to be, but that would be a lie [snip]*.

* - Modified for political correctness.



Compatibility

This mod is, and should be, compatible with every other OBSE plugin there is. This plugin is not fully compatible with ENB Series graphic mods. The CSE may fail to load or crash when the former is installed.

Change Log

Ah yes, my report was a bit incomplete. The values themselves aren't mixed up but their bound checks are. Firsst the FOV bound is set to 0-120 and then the falloff exponent is set to 0-100 (or rather, that's what's supposed to happen). Because of the typo it sets FOV to 0-100 and leaves the falloff exponent without any bound checking. It's a tiny bug but still a bug.

Right, will eat it up.

I have been unable to use the Script Editor Window with the CSE. I get a CTD whenever I try to open the Script Window. I have tried with version 6.1 first then reinstalled it due to forgetting .Net, then tried 6.0(reinstalled 6.1 after). Most other features seem to be working for me so far. I had an old version working earlier but had to fully reinstall Oblivion, do we have to do anything like registry editing when reinstalling CSE? It also doesn't recognize .Net as installed
Construction Set Extender.txt

.NET framework builds are not cumulative, you'll need to download and run the installer for v4.0. As for the script editor CTD, follow the installation instructions in the readMe to the letter.

Another request: would it be possible to export the results of the Use Info dialogue for a single object? Basically like exporting cell data, but instead of just exporting all cells, only the cells that a specific object is used in.

Will look into it.

Dev. channel updated. Added support for toggling certain CS warnings (Console window context menu > Warnings...), LOD texture generator stability improvements, etc.

I am unable to remedy this error. I am using CSE 61-36370-6-1, obse_0020, CS 1.2. These are the most up to date available. So the error for a Script Extender v21 or greater is very illusive.

[CSE] ConstruKction Set Extender "Cretinous Codpiece" v6.1.6.720 Initializing...
[CSE] Checking Versions and Dependencies
[CSE] Script Extender version too old - v21 or greater required

Thank you for your time and excellent work on this tool, I need it for the fix for lipsink among other things you were gracious enough to also fix for the lazy ass gamesas Devs. One day they will get theirs, trust me it's coming.

It's exactly as the error message states: you need OBSE ver 21 or greater. Version 21 is in beta - grab it from the OBSE thread here on the Bethesda forums.

I didn't expect a tool I consider to be production grade to use a beta, just caught me off guard a bit, I have it working now thanks.

Yeah, I know. I really ought to finish up and release v21's final build.

One of the features of the CSE is Coda, a scripting language for the CS that allows you to automate many tasks. I have created a http://www.theassimilationlab.com/forums/topic/4852-cse-coda-scripting/ with lots of sample scripts on The Assimilation Lab. Registration is not required unless you want to respond to the thread. Enjoy!

Hey ShadeMe! Do you think it'd be feasible to add a function to lock off asymmetry while editing and generating NPC heads? I really like using the random head generation for quickly getting bases to work from, but the asymmetry can be really heavy and a lot of extra time goes into fixing distortions. A toggle to disable it altogether would be amazingly useful.

Sure, I'll see what I can do.

You're an angel, thank you

Opening Csixtender-36230-1-5-1 caused ACG reporting of 1 Trojan and 2 corrupt files ?

Data\BGSEE\Dialog Templates\235.dll Trojan horse Dropper.generic7.AIBP

Data\BGSEE\Dialog Templates\175.dll Corrupted Executable
Data\BGSEE\Dialog Templates\162.dll Corrupted Executable

Those are false positives, you can ignore those reports.

Thank you for responding so quickly. I was hopping that was the case. Take care and thank you for the great mod.

Help! I need Help!

Sorry the desperation... I don't know what else to do

I was trying to dabble in scripting when I noticed for some reason I cant do scripting anymore

Opening script editor causes immediate CTD

And I have not the slightest idea why

I'm no scripter and my use of the CS is very limited but I had found a few applications of the CS extender that made my life a lot easier, so I would hate to have to delete the CS extender... I sometimes mess around with scripts but I never created one

I know OBSE allows more complex scripting and understanding it was a lot better with this tool

The readme said something about exporting crash report and asking for advice here.. it generated a zip file

(www.)(mediafire.com)(/download/7nl7b5dq7ebe9fg/CSE+Script+Crash.zip)

(sorry for the written link... it says I do not have permission but is the only way I see of sharing the crash exports)

I placed it on mediafire as I didnt know how else to upload it in this forum

Please help... is hieroglyphs to me... no idea what happened

I do move things sometimes and there's a lot of movement in my Oblivion folder... I tried reinstalling the CSE but nothing happened. I could try reinstalling the whole game but I'm not sure if there is even hope that is going to work

I have a little weird problem over here, i am getting the "Oblivion.esm version is above this program can load" thing, actually having the game and the CS updated.

Also, does this mod help with the crash when saving while big mods are loaded?

You seem to be using the ENB series graphics mod. As mentioned in CSE's log, it's not supported. Unless I'm much mistaken, removing the d3d9.dll file from your game directory will fix your CTD.

I'm gonna need more information that that. Make sure you've followed the installation instructions in CSE's readMe to the dot (and that you've have indeed got the latest version of the CS installed). I'll also need to see the various debug logs - Look into the 'Reporting Bugs' section in the readMe for more information.

As for crashes when loading large mods, you'll have to try it out for yourself. The CSE does improve the editor's stability though.

Nevermind, i was opening the wrong file to access in, my fault.

Loading at the same time Tamriel Heightmaps + Elsweyr Anequina + TWMP Valenwood Improved + TWMP ElsweyrValenwood Patch + my mod and it works perfectly, no error messages, no crash when saving, excellent!

Of course endorsed.

Multiple commits pushed. Overhauled the Race edit dialog UI and added a new workflow shortcut to the FaceGen advanced parameters editor - Scrolling with the mouse wheel while holding down the right mouse button on the parameter listview will automatically change the selected attribute's value.

Immediate fix!

Thank you very much!

Now I know to temporarily disable my ENB when editing scripts
