Obviously screenshots don't work very well for this mod. I've made a video, but Youtube gives me trouble right now. But I guess you've seen a falling star already in real life, doesn't look much different in the game.

Another Phitt mod! This man is a veritable genius for adding these lil' touches in the game we love!:)

Very nice. I did something like this in RGO as an Easter Egg a long time ago - nice and concise implementation you have there.

Ooooo *wub* Wonderful Phitt!! This will make a brilliant addition to my resource list! :celebration:

Haha...I remember that star caused a lot of confusion among players who spotted it. Hope now they will know where the stars come from. And if there is a bug with my mod I'll simply tell them it's the easter egg from RGO.

A brillant idea, but you should make a little video out of it. Or I`ll do it for you. Gonna check this out now.

*Edit*

There you go:

A little demonstration video. Feel free to upload it at TESNexus if you like it.

:blink: First post dear. :whistling:

Is it me or do the falling stars only appear at the horizon, but no right above your head? I mean if I look right up (let`s stay to the north star), I don`t see any falling stars appearing?

Also, I would like to be able to set the star timer with a ini, rather than having to type it into the console. Please add the ini and and I`ll be very happy with it.

OR...you could create a BAT file with the star command and use the console to start that more easily... :rolleyes:

Edit: Great Mod Phitt!

That sounds like it'll add a great effect to the night sky, awesome work Phitt!

I'm merging this with my other environment tweaks ... natural habitat, rainbows, etc.

thanks

This is a very nice addition for the game, it looks very nice. I hope to see a Aurora Borealis effect someday.

Let`s bump this topic to get more people attracted to this gem.

Ooh, looks awesome... I'll try this. Thanks for bumping.

Perfect. I've wanted meteors in Oblivion for years and they look great. Thanks!

You're really on a roll, Mudwater and now this :tops:

Nice idea! I've been using a similar mod for Morrowind for a long time now, but so far I haven't been able to spot any meteors in it at all!

Sounds like they're a bit more common here.

Is there a game engine limitation why meteors only show up when it's 100% clear? I remember the morrowind meteors mod also did that. Shame if it is as meteors passing behind cloud would look very cool.

Thanks for the video. Like already mentioned by WhoGuru I made one myself, but after uploading to Youtube (twice already) it never finished processing - maybe there was too much black screen in the video so Youtube got confused and thought it was fake or something. Will try to upload your video.



It's just one setting. I think an ini file for just one setting is not really necessary.



This is a left-over from Mudwater (and Mudwater uses a lot of left-overs from other mods I never completed). Originally I wanted to use the falling stars in the mushroom world, but they didn't fit to the sky I used in the end.



There is...because the falling stars are in front of the sky and not part of it (which is impossible to do if you want them to spawn randomly). They can't appear behind clouds so if there were clouds in the sky they would be in front of the clouds - which would look rather stupid.

Ooohhh... I just love all the little details modders bring in. Downloading, installing and playing now. Nice idea!

Ah, I see. Shame about that.

I just saw one!

Over the last few days of playing I kept looking up thinking nah I'll probably not see one - then tonight at cloud ruler - right across the sky.

It was cloudy though. Using AN it was partially cloudy and it was below the clouds.

Actually that is not strange to see - here on earth we have 3 layers of clouds and I'd think you could see them below the two top layers. Of course most I've seen were coming straight down and were quick momentary things. This one shot right across the sky from west to east. Don't know if that is a necessary mechanic.

great stuff.

I installed this some weeks ago and I saw a falling star. Good work but sometimes we have the feeling that the falling stars are not part of the sky. Thanks for the contribution.

The stars come randomly from all directions. I might alter them a bit so they don't fly so far. The clouds are most likely a 'bug' with AN. In the CS you can set the weather type for each weather you create, like 'cloudy', 'pleasant', 'rain' and a few others. In vanilla Oblivion 'pleasant' is used only for completely cloudless weather and 'cloudy' is used for any type of weather that has clouds, not only the overcast weather type. That might be a bit confusing if you make a new weather type and don't look at the vanilla values. If I see 'cloudy' I think about a lot of clouds and not a few small clouds. The problem is that the script checks for 'pleasant' weather. If a mod adds a weather type that is marked as 'pleasant' while it should be marked as 'cloudy' then you would see the stars in front of the clouds.



Not sure what you mean...

Excellent little mod. I've had it on for a while but haven't noticed or even looked for falling stars, but when taking some screenshots of the night sky there they were. Really nice. :thumbsup:

Heh it can be hard to get screenshots of them sometimes. There were a few times I was taking screenshots of nighttime scenes and thought "oh this would be even better with a star streaking across the sky!" which was followed by a few minutes of spamming my screenshot key hoping I'd capture one of them. It's rare you can see the star and then be able to take a shot of it, you have to get ahead of it, which means sitting around hitting the screenshot key over and over again hehe
