(Reaching post limit the 5th time now already... this must be a very attractive project. Either this or I'm just talking too much.)

The latest test-release, for playing around or help with bug-tracking, of the mod would be the semi-official v0.0.7 pre-beta, still, due to me still not having a working pc at hand to go on with modding full-scale.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=K1EKLHQH

Now also available at TES Nexus on a special pre-beta releases page:
http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=30094

requires http://obse.silverlock.org/
Unfortunately the latest OBSE (beta 5) isn't yet linked on their site. The link can only be found on every 1st page of an OBSE thread here.
http://obse.silverlock.org/beta/obse_1_2_416_dll_beta_5.zip
As it again fixed some bugs from beta 4, I suggest using this now. However, I can't even tell if I was using it already, but I strongly guess so, as I'm always up-to-date in regards of OBSE.
A Script Effect Silencer could also come in handy, to get rid of these regular or random thumping sounds and maybe even visual anomalies like purple clouds or something.
For example http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15677.
male meshes/textures made to fit Robert's V4 (muscular)
female meshes/textures fitting TFF
(due to the nature of my scripting approach though using different bodies in general won't cause issues when all slots are under control of my scripts and fitting equipment is enforced)

For the lowerbody meshes there are quite some alternatives. Parallel to Robert's body mod there are several different underwear variants plus a mammalian and a reptilian nvde version.
All files can be found inside the folder "meshes/characters/DrakeDragon/male". For females likewise.
The names should be self-explanatory, but if you possess NifSkope, you can even open them and take a look inside to select which one you prefer.

Whichever one you prefer you simply have to create a copy of it and rename it into "DragonLegs_dcpart.nif" (that's the one the game will use).

There was an issue reported with the new foot wraps not being rigged properly. This is because I didn't have time to check it at all but just rescued everything "as it was" from my drive before cleaning it.
The following resource pack will remedy this as well of course.

Well, here is the complete package of Cloth Wraps, in all possible slot-combinations with all corresponding human-dragon-hybrid adaptations
(ranging from full-human to full-dragon, making it an actual "resource" with applicability far beyond that little race of mine).
I actually wanted to do this for quite some time already, but as you can imagine I previously didn't get the opportunity to start it.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FJ5GEKY6

You won't need my plugin to use these, but due to me being unable to create plugins currently and the nature of this resource release you will need to put them into the game as actual clothing (or armor, if you prefer) yourself.

This is what you get right now.

Now here is what you don't get yet. All released now apart from animations.

http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/3568/improvedwings1.jpg,
http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/8449/improvedwings2.jpg

I shortened the phalanges, elongated the 2 outermost fingers, rectified the curving of the membrane's borders between the tips, and also altered the rigging pose a little by bending the wing arms one more unit. It actually increased the wing span yet again, so I think any bigger than this now won't ever happen. Anyways, I really like this result. Even those questionable forward membranes seem to look way better now, somehow "fitting in" finally without disturbing the overall shape.

This is Drake's new look, not necessarily a replacement for the red-gold theme.
The body is now (in my eyes) sufficiently armored with sturdy scales at exposed areas (which was horribly lacking before).
The whole area around the chest was completely redone from scratch and this plated chestpiece turned out way better than the last one.
I think I went a bit overboard with the sharpen-filter though.
I'm really surprised with how great my first attempt at veined membrane textures turned out, but judge for yourself:

http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/8312/newscalytexturesandwing.jpg (mind the new plates on the chest),
http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/8312/newscalytexturesandwing.jpg (mind the faint see-through effect, the tail shimmering through),
http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/8312/newscalytexturesandwing.jpg (slight shadows of the hands this time),
http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/8312/newscalytexturesandwing.jpg (full view of the new wing-anatomy, mind the improved phalanges)

Now the veins in the membranes are less prominent, more like "underneath" the skin.
I added another layer of flesh, giving the membranes a much more fleshy structure.
And while I was at it I also reduced the transparency further, as it was far too clear for my taste previously.
It's just getting better and better me thinks.

http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/8312/newscalytexturesandwing.jpg,
http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/3475/newscalytexturesandwingk.jpg
I also like it how the original "golden"-coloured areas returned once the transparency vanished.

Due to Drake being quite a young dragon still, almost a child, always walking on his hindlegs, like the others of his kind prefer to do to better blend in with human society, gets quite taxing after some time. This and him and the others having been forced to retreat into their ancestors' caves ages ago makes him prefer walking on all fours (feral-style) when not too close to humans, or anyways when he's quite exhausted.
This made me start trying to create some feral-style movement animations a while ago and my attempts at creating these 4-legged animations are turning out to yield quite fine results.
As I can't use Fraps on the netbook for capturing videos of them in NifSkope (it reduced the whole animation from 24 to just 2 frames, the first of each leg's motion cycle, which obviously doesn't make it a "movement" anymore... talking about how slow that thing is...), I just used Blender to render a full animation cycle instead and created Animated GIFs from that. They're round about 1.5 megs each, so be patient when opening them.

http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/4628/runfwdanimback.gif (the most interesting point of view in my eyes),
http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/6362/runfwdanimside.gif (giving the best view of the legs' movement),
http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/9518/runfwdanimfront.gif (looking cool already?),
http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/7369/runfwdanimtop.gif (mind the fluid bending of the spine with each step)

Next I made it a walk now. Looks actually far better than last time, better than I expected.

http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/9881/walkfwdanimround.gif (give it some time to load)

Don't mind the camera going round in a crazy circle. This is just me experimenting with just another play-thing I found during the process, animating camera movement as well and a moving lightsource creating some nice highlights occasionally. Hope you won't get sick by watching... and you can see the animation that is. :facepalm:

Oh and if anybody's wondering, these are Drake's new personal textures, many smaller high-detail unresized elements, like scales etc., added to bring back the sharpness even the sharpen tool could not restore. I'll never again use double-sized resources as a basis for my textures. It just gets way too blurry right from the start this way.

Due to me altering the wings' geometry that drastically all available dragon races will need new wing-membrane textures at least as soon as I release the new meshes and the skeletons going along with these.
Now I think I'm finally done with this little task, so here are the results:
http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/8312/newscalytexturesandwing.jpg (I posted this already but here it is again for direct comparison),
http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/5721/originaldragonnewwings.jpg,
http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/8215/blackdragonnewwings.jpg

lordsoulstrike, I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty to create some fitting ones for all your fine retextures I could find as well:
http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/4813/blackreddragonretexneww.jpg (black membranes),
http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/4813/blackreddragonretexneww.jpg (dark-red membranes from black dragon),
http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/4813/blackreddragonretexneww.jpg (original-color membranes like you did in your release),
http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/9494/icedragonretexnewwings.jpg (the most-sophisticated work of all of them),
http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/5273/albinodragonretexnewwin.jpg (was hard to hit the right tone)

Those will all be included in the next upcoming resource release/update. I hope you like them and they're fitting in Your eyes as well.

Now while I was at it I also gave all existing texture variants a quick work-over to create matching counterparts to Drake's brand new textures, the "red-gold scaly" variant. Thus I actually created a complete second branch of new scaly textures.

http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/2347/albinodragonretexscaly2.jpg

This makes 12 variants overall already.

And now here's another resource release:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6N12E2K4

It contains the new and improved wing meshes, all wing membrane textures I did, plus the scaly textures for male and female I created.
Attention: the scaly textures are contained in a seperate folder inside "textures/characters". I conveniently named it "DrakeDragonScaly". Right now you can only use one or the other, but at least you can decide about this on a per-race basis.
If you replace the files of the species you want with the scaly ones or change the textures used by the race in the ESP itself is up to you, both should work fine.
Replacing the skeletons though is mandatory for the new meshes to work!
I included "skeleton.nif" and "skeletonbeast.nif" in "_male" as well as "skeleton.nif" and "skeleton_loupsombre.nif" in "_1stperson". Latter is a replacement for when you are also using Loup Sombre's "3rd-Person Animations in 1st-Person View" like I do. It has a different 1st-person skeleton, so that's a compatible one.


I now also resummarized my CS instructions and the latest unreleased scripts, for anybody who feels like going on with what I currently can't do.
It all can be found in http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1071472&view=findpost&p=15580318 on this page.

just an idea, from what i've seen of the hands they are pretty much human apart from claws and some armblades. when i imagine dragons i often think of them having more... knobely didgits, kind of like having more obvious knuckles. i dont really know how to explain this.... but whatever.

great job with the walk by the way, this race just keeps getting better and better.

and just a side note, because fallout 3 runs off the same engine, would it be possible to import this into fallout 3, (just for the lols)

I never understood the 3 finger\toe thing with dragons. If you look at a lizard it has 5 toes per claw. So i like you having 5 fingers and toes on him. I should be getting a new desktop soon so i might be able to help more. TES4 runs fine on my laptop now but the CS kinda acts up(i think its vista). having only 30GB of free space now makes it hard to mod. Ive been playing dragon age a lot lately too.(which throws a fit running in my laptop LOL.)

Just a quick update.

Due to me altering the wings' geometry that drastically all available dragon races will need new wing-membrane textures at least as soon as I release the new meshes and the skeletons going along with these.

Now I think I'm finally done with this little task, so here are the results:

http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/612/blackdragonnewwings2.jpg (fiery-red veins as requested by Equinox aka Who Cares?)

lordsoulstrike, I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty to create some fitting ones for all your fine retextures I could find as well:
http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/4813/blackreddragonretexneww.jpg (black membranes),
http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/4813/blackreddragonretexneww.jpg (dark-red membranes from black dragon),
http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/4813/blackreddragonretexneww.jpg (original-color membranes like you did in your release),
http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/9494/icedragonretexnewwings.jpg (the most-sophisticated work of all of them),
http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/5273/albinodragonretexnewwin.jpg (was hard to hit the right tone)

Those will all be included in the next upcoming resource release/update. I hope you like them and they're fitting in Your eyes as well.

Here's an idea, Drake: Do you think, on your black dragon, that you could make the veins layer blazing, firey red? They would still be underneath the slightly transparent 'skin' layer, but the 'flaming veins' would add to the theme that you already have going on your black dragon, with the patterns of red around the scales. Just an idea.

Maybe you could also do it with the black-red dragon?

I am so envious of these new wings, I really want to try them on Equinox (remember him? I tried to retex him a while back, it was my first Oblivion retex, and svcked), but I am NOT good at texturing at all... DO you think someone could make a retex for Equinox for me? I've got the odd-colored eyes still, I think, but as far as all these new textures go, Equinox is toast. I have screenshots of him if anyone is remotely interested...

(and a minor, minor, minuscule note: i finally figured out what my username SHOULD be. If anyone could address me as Equinox, that would be great. *headdesk* signup fail. I hate my username XD)

Well, then, Equinox, that was an intriguing suggestion.

Does this look somewhat close to what you had in mind?
http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/612/blackdragonnewwings2.jpg (actually looks somewhat scary, doesn't it?)

You see, I'm all up for requests, if they interest me, and that is usually the case anyways. Little distractions like these keep my imagination busy and my creativity benefits from this.
If you post those screenshots of yours, I could give it a try. It would be the 2nd or 3rd texture request for a personal character from someone I fulfill, so I'm used to this already.

Which wings will be used with the Black-Red Dragon Retex would be up to lordsoulstrike though. I'm just providing the alternatives.
However, of course everyone can use whichever textures one wants for whichever dragon race on his side in the end. So the very-last decision would be up to you anyways.

Ok, thanks Drake! I'm getting the screenshots now. It's taking a long time for the thumbnails in my screenshots folder to load though, which is frustrating.

EDIT: Here they are. You can interpret those swirlies however you want, they're not well drawn on the first place, so don't try to stay close to my design. http://img718.imageshack.us/i/screenshot504.png/
http://img138.imageshack.us/i/screenshot511.png/

And the wings look awesome, that's exactly what I was thinking. Do you like them better that way? Or will you just have 2 different versions?

My avatar is an old animation I did of Equinox, and it didn't turn out the way I wanted to on here, but oh well. It's more fitting.

dam, my internets being funny again, i cant see the pictures, glad to see that people think their good, i may need to create a new charachter to test these new textures out for myself.

and just a question, is there any fitting clothes for the wings? because whenever i use any clothes with wings shown it had major clipping issues with the clothes. i may be missing something, but i know i have seen adapted armours to fit the wings in the forums somewhere....

Nope, go right ahead Drake. They are based off of your awesome textures after all.

Edit: BTW. If you could re-summarize the CS stuff I'd try to give it another go. When you talked about it last thread I was away from Oblivion. However I'm back and if you could give me the scripts in order in which they should be added I'll try again assuming I do not come down with another cold again. ><

Thanks, I will do that tomorrow right after sorting out which posts are out-of-date already or redundant and compiling it all together in the right order again.

Mr Smiles, I'm sorry but the hunchback where the wings are connected to the upperbody will always clip in non-adapted clothing/armor meshes. I don't know of any specifically adapted for use with these wings either.
However, as soon as the latest state of the scripts got implemented, tested and finally released, there will be full control over this part of the appearance in adapted items as well. So we can start making those upperbody items fitting to the wings.

I actually do like them better this way myself, Equinox. Thanks for giving me this idea. This will be the new official look of the Black Dragon style. I will keep the plain dark-red one as well though, as you never know where it might perhaps fit in nicely later.
I'll give your Equinox textures a go tomorrow. Let's see what I can come up with.

Now while I was at it... oh, and you can really say I was on a "retexturing-spree" of sorts... I also gave all existing texture variants a quick work-over to create matching counterparts to Drake's brand new textures, the "red-gold scaly" variant. Thus I actually created a complete second branch of new scaly textures.

This makes 12 variants overall already.
Now that was "speed-painting", eh? :ahhh:

Next I can think about how to use them in the future.
Make these the new one-and-only male textures and leave the females how they are?
Or create the female counterparts next and stick with a set of 6 or more color-schemes per base-structure variant?
I don't know... any suggestions?

edit: Considering I created this thread only a couple hours ago, I think the 1st post got quite flooded with new content already. Guess I was quite productive today, for a very-welcome change.

No rush. If everything is in one post it should not take me too long to come up with something in the CS.

I'm glad to see those variations are being included!

I'm now going to post all new and altered scripts as well as hopefully all steps to be done to get it all working.

Let this be a gentle warning for the occasional "I'm trying this out because it looks like fun, but I'm glad I finally managed to get it working as I don't know much about modding myself"-type of testers.
I don't want to confuse you with the following possibly over-complex tasks to fulfill only to have you end up with a non-functional mod in the end.
If you're not one of the few who know what they have to do to get certain things fixed on their own in the CS and outside of it, you might rather want to wait for a finished ESP to be released, by me or someone else who felt like sharing.

Now, that being said you will need to do certain preparations messing around with files and new item records/quests/scripts in the CS before you can even begin altering the existing ones.
I hope I'm able to tell you exactly what you need to do in exactly the right order, but truth is I'm not able to edit the ESP myself and am basically "tapping around in the dark blindly", metaphorically speaking, when it comes to the steps I'm going to explain.

First of all you should load any savegame with a dragon character you want to continue later on. Once it's loaded stop the main race control quest by typing "stopquest DrakeDragonRaceQuest" into the console. Then save and quit.
This is to make the quest script update when you alter it in the ESP, as it occurred sometimes to be not taking over all changes when it was still running. I don't know if it would take over the changes correctly when you stop the quest after loading and then restart it, but I know doing the changes after the quest was stopped always worked till today.

Now let's get the new Clothwraps Complete Resource to be used by my mod and scripts.
I'll now post a list of items you need to create and which files each of them corresponds to. (It's not complicated, EditorID and filename are mostly identical.):

1. The already existing items you need to alter:

(seeing a pattern already?)
You might have guessed already what's the purpose of the slotnames at the end, or why there are always "tailed", "winged" or "wingedtailed" versions of almost each combination (chest and hands only doesn't cover the tail of course).
Those of you who are used to my scripting approach might have recognized all the "tagged" files as well, which were not used here,... yepp, you guessed it, these will of course as usual automatically be taken up by my scripts and used appropriately for the specific dragon-human-hybrid combination you selected in the config menu.

Now you need to create following "object"-type scripts (actually all new OBSE "user-functions"):

scn DrakeDragonRaceReplacerHairFunctionarray_var confArrayref itemref templatebegin Function {confArray, item}	let template := DrakeEmptyItem	setFunctionValue templateend

scn DrakeDragonRaceReplacerUpperFunctionarray_var confArrayref itemref templatelong slotmaskshort req0short req1short req2short req3begin Function {confArray, item}	;this one is getting a bit complex. select the fitting replacer template according to occupied slots	set slotmask to getBipedSlotMask item	let req0 := confArray[5]["combinations"][0]["req"]	let req1 := confArray[5]["combinations"][1]["req"]	let req2 := confArray[5]["combinations"][2]["req"]	let req3 := confArray[5]["combinations"][3]["req"]	if(req0 == 1) ;tail		if eval (slotmask & 20 == 20)			let template := DrakeDragonChestWrapsHands		elseif eval (slotmask & 12 == 12)			let template := DrakeDragonChestWrapsTailedLower		elseif eval (slotmask & 28 == 28)			let template := DrakeDragonChestWrapsTailedLowerHands		elseif eval (slotmask & 44 == 44)			let template := DrakeDragonChestWrapsTailedLowerFeet		elseif eval (slotmask & 60 == 60)			let template := DrakeDragonChestWrapsTailedLowerHandsFeet		else			let template := DrakeDragonChestWraps		endif	elseif(req1 == 1) ;wings		if eval (slotmask & 20 == 20)			let template := DrakeDragonChestWrapsWingedHands		elseif eval (slotmask & 12 == 12)			let template := DrakeDragonChestWrapsWingedLower		elseif eval (slotmask & 28 == 28)			let template := DrakeDragonChestWrapsWingedLowerHands		elseif eval (slotmask & 44 == 44)			let template := DrakeDragonChestWrapsWingedLowerFeet		elseif eval (slotmask & 60 == 60)			let template := DrakeDragonChestWrapsWingedLowerHandsFeet		else			let template := DrakeDragonChestWrapsWinged		endif	elseif(req2 == 1 || req3 == 1) ;wings and tail		if eval (slotmask & 20 == 20)			let template := DrakeDragonChestWrapsWingedHands		elseif eval (slotmask & 12 == 12)			let template := DrakeDragonChestWrapsWingedTailedLower		elseif eval (slotmask & 28 == 28)			let template := DrakeDragonChestWrapsWingedTailedLowerHands		elseif eval (slotmask & 44 == 44)			let template := DrakeDragonChestWrapsWingedTailedLowerFeet		elseif eval (slotmask & 60 == 60)			let template := DrakeDragonChestWrapsWingedTailedLowerHandsFeet		else			let template := DrakeDragonChestWrapsWinged		endif	else ;none of both		if eval (slotmask & 20 == 20)			let template := DrakeDragonChestWrapsHands		elseif eval (slotmask & 12 == 12)			let template := DrakeDragonChestWrapsLower		elseif eval (slotmask & 28 == 28)			let template := DrakeDragonChestWrapsLowerHands		elseif eval (slotmask & 44 == 44)			let template := DrakeDragonChestWrapsLowerFeet		elseif eval (slotmask & 60 == 60)			let template := DrakeDragonChestWrapsLowerHandsFeet		else			let template := DrakeDragonChestWraps		endif	endif	setFunctionValue templateend

Here you can actually witness the birth of the new and improved template replacer selection system. There's way more space and possibilities inside those new function scripts than there'll ever be inside the token script itself or a replacer template array (as there was before). OBSE's getting quite convenient for me now isn't it?
Noticed the "tagId" changed into "confArray"? "tagId" was no longer needed, as this part of the actual filename is generated outside of the template selection now.
But I needed the "confArray" of the specific race to access your personal dragon-human-hybrid selection of choice as defined in the config menu.

Next create a new quest "DrakeDragonRaceConfigQuest". Make it not "start game enabled" and check "allow repeating stages".
Once this is done create following "quest"-type script:

scn DrakeDragonRaceConfigQuestScriptshort choicefloat fQuestDelayTimebegin gameMode	set fQuestDelayTime to 0.5	if(DrakeDragonRaceQuest.doConfig == 1)		MessageBoxEX "Dragon Race > Do You want to keep all default settings?|Yes|No"		set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.doConfig to -2		return	elseif(DrakeDragonRaceQuest.doConfig == -2)		set choice to getButtonPressed		if(choice == 0) ;stick to defaults			MessageBoxEX "Dragon Race > Forced unequipping:%rBy default this will also affect items%rcovering more than 1 slot at once,%r(e.g. The Arena Raiments or DB Armor)%rleaving actors running around naked,%rif they weren't adapted yet.%rDo You wish to make an exception%rto allow non-fitting combined-slot items?|Yes|No"			set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.doConfig to 12		elseif(choice == 1) ;customize			MessageBoxEX "Dragon Race > Select Your shape:%rDo You want to be Full-Dragon shape?|Yes|No"			set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.doConfig to 2		endif		return	elseif(DrakeDragonRaceQuest.doConfig == 2) ;full-dragon or custom?		set choice to getButtonPressed		if(choice == 0) ;stay full-dragon			set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.showclaws to 1			set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.showfeet to 1			set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.showtail to 1			set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.showwings to 1			MessageBoxEX "Dragon Race > Select Your shape:%rDo You want controlled helmet slot,%rnot actually force-equipping anything%rbut keeping non-fitting helmets unequipped?|Yes|No"			set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.doConfig to 5		elseif(choice == 1) ;further customize			MessageBoxEX "Dragon Race > Select Your shape:%rWhich wings & tail combination do You prefer?|Wings and tail|Only wings|Only tail|None at all"			set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.doConfig to 3		endif		return	elseif(DrakeDragonRaceQuest.doConfig == 3) ;tail & wings options		set choice to getButtonPressed		if(choice > -1)			if(choice == 0) ;both				set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.showtail to 1				set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.showwings to 1			elseif(choice == 1) ;only wings				set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.showtail to 0				set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.showwings to 1			elseif(choice == 2) ;only tail				set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.showtail to 1				set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.showwings to 0			elseif(choice == 3) ;neither wings nor tail				set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.showtail to 0				set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.showwings to 0			endif			MessageBoxEX "Dragon Race > Select Your shape:%rWhich hands & feet/legs combination do You prefer?|Dragon hands and feet/legs|Dragon hands but human feet/legs|Human hands but dragon feet/legs|Human hands and human feet/legs"			set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.doConfig to 4		endif		return	elseif(DrakeDragonRaceQuest.doConfig == 4) ;hands & feet options		set choice to getButtonPressed		if(choice > -1)			if(choice == 0) ;both				set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.showclaws to 1				set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.showfeet to 1			elseif(choice == 1) ;dragon hands, human feet				set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.showclaws to 1				set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.showfeet to 0			elseif(choice == 2) ;humand hands, dragon feet				set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.showclaws to 0				set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.showfeet to 1			elseif(choice == 3) ;all human				set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.showclaws to 0				set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.showfeet to 0			endif			MessageBoxEX "Dragon Race > Select Your shape:%rDo You want controlled helmet slot,%rnot actually force-equipping anything%rbut keeping non-fitting helmets unequipped?|Yes|No"			set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.doConfig to 5		endif		return	elseif(DrakeDragonRaceQuest.doConfig == 5) ;helmet options		set choice to getButtonPressed		if(choice > -1)			if(choice == 0) ;controlled helmet				set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.showhelmet to 1			elseif(choice == 1) ;keep hairstyles				set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.showhelmet to 0			endif			MessageBoxEX "Dragon Race > Forced unequipping:%rBy default unequipping of non-fitting items%ris forced for all slots but upperbody.%rThis includes visual replacement while keeping stats.%rWhich settings do You prefer?|Keep default (All)|None at all|Customize..."			set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.doConfig to 6		endif		return	elseif(DrakeDragonRaceQuest.doConfig == 6)		set choice to getButtonPressed		if(choice > -1)			if(choice == 0);

Notice the "itemArray" initialization being isolated inside its own do-once condition? If all's well, then this should make updating between existing savegames much easier now.
The whole configuration menu thing was exported into its own quest script, the "confArray"'s slots are indexed by numbers now, as I realized "foreach" is iterating an alphabetically "sorted" array with string indices and not in the order I created it in, which caused trouble with combined adapted items most likely not being equipped properly because "upperbody" was not the 1st slot to be processed as intended, the replacer template array vanished in favor of the new user-function-driven design, and quite some other minor changes.

Note: The checks for requirements like OBSE are still not improved, as you can see in the unaltered GetOBSEVersion line close to the top!

Now, there's one more user-function to be created, which will shorten the token scripts always containing the same twice, in menumode and in gamemode, drastically:

Well, here's a "hopefully" neat and clever way to keep track of all tokens ever provided to actors, be it NPCs or the player, race control tokens or reverter tokens.
This little invention manages a list of actors which already got a token.
It checks for "internal" version numbers of these in its arrays and will immediately replace any left-over tokens with out-dated scripts (in case a token's script didn't update, don't know if it can happen at all, but now this system will know when, just in case).
Also if it finds any tokens on actors not in its list, it replaces them right away with proper ones.
The tokens should regularly update their respective "timeout" records in its lists, while the tracker itself will make them count down, and whenever one of these entries reaches "0", which usually means its token didn't update for a long time, i.e. "is dead", it will be removed and, if necessary, replaced by a working one.

Now whenever a script on a token stalls for whatever reason, it will stop resetting its timeout and thus ultimately end up being removed and replaced.
As an additional bonus feature, now that I always have a list of all provided race control and reverter tokens and the actors carrying them, I can also easily implement something to remove all race control tokens, revert all items in inventories and then remove all reverter tokens either, before uninitializing and shutting down the main control quest, so you can safely update a running game with new releases of my scripts in the future.
Well, if everything turns out as planned, that is, I think this little feature will come in really handy.

The tracking is done by the tokens and the other scripts, but the regular checks for validity of the provided tokens or stalled scripts are for now only taking place in "gamemode".
I could expand this to menumode as well later, but I thought not letting items get removed or added in menumode without knowing about the current circumstances would be better and safer.

Now, I only hope this new approach will work as intended... and that I didn't make any stupid syntax mistakes anywhere anymore. :rolleyes:

Now when you saved this and started the game with one of your savegames, by all means let the first thing you do before re-starting the main control quest be to type
"set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.initArrays to 1"
into console, so this section of the script shouldn't be entered anymore even when you do
"set DrakeDragonRaceQuest.init to 0"
next to take over all changes to the arrays and such.
If you start a new game though, this of course won't be necessary at all.

I can only hope this all works the way I intended it to do. My apologies in advance, if it won't.

I know it's quite a lot, but currently the only way for you to test my latest (hopefully)"improvements". I'm sorry.

Now I hope at least some of you will try out the latest changes and tell me if there's anything still working at all.
(Please keep in mind you can only say a feature is broken when it doesn't work on a "new" game, as in "created after installation".)

I only know the basics around the CS. I think I'll give it a go anyways. It may take me a few days so I don't get too frustrated in 1 sitting.

Are you going to use the 4-limbed movement for running?

I don't know yet what its final application will be.
I'm personally wishing for it to be freely toggleable at all times, maybe even driven by certain circumstances (as I said, Drake cannot keep standing/walking upright for too long, because he's too young and it's exhausting).
But I don't yet know exactly what can be done and what can't.

Let me first finish the animations, then I will see how to put them ingame.
By this time I should be able to mod my ESP myself again either, or so I hope at least.

ahh, now that would be a cool feature!

The current textures are not released yet are they? I think the new ones you've shown are great! The chest is definately more befitting to a dragon race. Where did the horns on the head go btw?

Also, I don't know if you've already done this, but when using hand to hand combat can you make it where he claws instead of punches?

i've allready suggested the possibility of claws/bite attacks and i am shure it has been suggested many times before, but drake is only one person, he cant do everything at once, and creating a new animation, new scripts and new textures is alot to do. (and he still needs to sleep, :snoring:)

btw, those textures are awsome, they look really good.

and as for the saphire dragon i told you about before, i have thought about it and i think it can be done with mainly deep blue and silver highlights (no rush with this, i just had to tell someone before i forgot, (because i will :rolleyes: ))

Hmm, well I wasn't trying to sound demanding about it or anything. It was just a suggestion.

And yes, the textures are truly great! Or as Tony the Tiger says, "They're GRRRRRRRRREAT!"




.....okay, I feel like an idiot now......

its ok, we all feel like an idiot at some point, (personally, i feel like an idiot now) sorry if i seemed too hard, it isn't my place to be the one judging people (it's not my mod) but i am glad to see that it isn't just me thinking about the possibility of claw attacks

Hey now, absolutely nobody has to feel like an idiot in my WIP threads... well, apart from me occasionally.

Well, consider the current textures you were adressing as being released right now!
Here's the download link:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6N12E2K4

It contains the new and improved wing meshes, all wing membrane textures I did, plus the scaly textures for male and female I created. The female ones were taking some time, that's the only cause for why I couldn't release it yesterday already. May I beg your attention though... the scaly textures are contained in a seperate folder inside "textures/characters". I conveniently named it "DrakeDragonScaly". Right now you can only use one or the other, but at least you can decide about this on a per-race basis.
If you replace the files of the species you want with the scaly ones or change the textures used by the race in the ESP itself is up to you, both should work fine.
Replacing the skeletons though is mandatory for the new meshes to work!
I included "skeleton.nif" and "skeletonbeast.nif" in "_male" as well as "skeleton.nif" and "skeleton_loupsombre.nif" in "_1stperson". Latter is a replacement for when you are also using Loup Sombre's "3rd-Person Animations in 1st-Person View" like I do. It has a different 1st-person skeleton, so that's a compatible one.

Unfortunately this is currently the only way... that is of course only if you don't figure out how simple a task it actually is to add sub-species/races to my race control quest script. :rolleyes:

Now as for the horns on the head, they actually didn't go anywhere. I am just unable to post any ingame screenshots, due to me not being able to get ingame, due to me not having a machine to run the game on, etc. etc. etc.
So these are either from Blender or from NifSkope, and in both it isn't really easy to import proper FaceGen-ready hairstyles/horns without them being of little-to-no use to you afterwards. So that's why they're missing in the pictures.

Regarding the claw attacks, I don't know what can be done and what can't right now, but as Drake also makes use of his claws in combat when the situation requires/allows it, this is a feature I already have on my list.
Creating the animations shouldn't be that complicated, now that I'm getting used to this business. But actually making use of them ingame requires me doing some further research for what is possible currently.

Don't ever feel uneasy about making suggestions. Just keep them coming, even if they were posted over and over already. That's what this thread is meant for after all.

lonewolf_kai, if you feel uneasy because of your Tony the Tiger quote though, I could understand it.
This particular sentence is new to me, but here in Germany he's saying something very similar. Even the emphasis is on the exact same sillable of the German expression of that word. Just a funny side note.
However, there's really no need for uneasy feelings or whatever in general around here anyways, not with me. :angel:

i have an idea for the claw attacks, i have seen a mod (werewolf mod) on tes nexus. in it it appears thay you use claws to attack your opponent, what they have really done is create a new weapon that appears to be claws but is actually a sword with a changed audio and meshes. from here a new animation shoudn't be that hard. (i know it's not mutch but it's a start)

i cant get onto tes nexus atm, but when i do i'll post a link to it incase people cant find it.

(note, i remembered this when i accidentally turned my dragon charachter into a werewolf because i forgot i had the mod still running.)

Sorry I'm not much help as of late. All the CS stuff blows over my head. The only advice I can ever offer are on an artistic scale. Anyway. I'll check out these updated textures ASAP. :3

Absolutely no rush at all (take all the time you need- or never, if you so wish), but was there any update on the Equinox textures that I might have missed?

I'm dling right now. I'll back those up in case megaupload decides to mega blow up your stuff again. I'll try and post screenies either in a bit or tomorrow. Driving in a snow squall for an hour does not help in the energy department. xD

Edit 1:
Drake, where there supposed to be any enhanced head textures?

Hey Drake the Dragon :wave:
I can't seem to find the albino texture for the head in the last texture pack :huh:
