Hmm another alternative you can try if you do not wish to do a clean save is just additem the Vahtacen Investigation Report, which has the quest update script, the dead body is just decoration really. Much easier to get the form ID for the report too.

Thanks for the suggestions Vac, Ervvyn, and omeletted.

As an aside: Is there an easy way to obtain RefIDs for mod-added NPCs? Something that can be read via TES4Edit/ other tools? I have a few other NPCs that I need to re-enable that were disabled by kuertee's cleanup...

It's not that hard in TES4Edit; look up the base NPC and then look under the "Referenced by" tab. That'll include the record that places the NPC in the world. That record is the RefID. Something like (this one's from Integration):

bgTessarayel [ACHR:0300683C] (places bgAQ1Tessarayiel "Tesserayiel" [NPC_:03003156] in GRUP Cell Persistent Children of [CELL:00023777] (in Tamriel [WRLD:0000003C] at 0,0))

The ACHR value is the one you're interested in

Vac

Thanks Vac. In my case, I get the following:

ssDeadMGMessenger [ACHR:7403C837] (places SSotADeadMGMessenger0 "Dead Mages Guild Messenger" [NPC_:7403B974] in GRUP Cell Persistent Children of [CELL:00023777] (in Tamriel [WRLD:0000003C] at 0,0))

but the ACHR value is the same as FormID!

No it's not! The messenger's FormID is xx03B974, the messenger's RefID is xx03C837. Not the same at all.

Vac

I had earlier tried using console command "enable 7403C837" in game to enable the messenger's body, but it threw an error. Am I using the command wrong?:unsure: I was hoping to do the opposite of command http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Console_Command_Tutorial#Disable.

Should I be using player.moveto RefID instead?

I'm not even close to an expert with console commands or scripts, but that syntax looks wrong to me. Shouldn't you use:

prid 7403C837
enable

Or something along these lines?

Vac (is now waiting for people who actually know a monkey's about scripting to come and correct his ignorance)

I just wanted to stop by and confirm that the above commands are correct. Of course, something was off as even when I tried these, .

I just reinstalled TAS (clean save), and it worked. Noted that the position of the - not sure what caused that, but anyway, I am back on track! Thanks all :foodndrink:

Hi, Ervvyn. :wave:

My play through of an earlier version (a couple of years back now) left me feeling this was one of the truly great mods made for the game. I just recently decided to run through your final version and find it even more polished and professional.

I get the impression you are still available for bug fix and compatibility issues, so will report one problem I recently encountered.

The recent addition of the new UL (Silverfish River Valley) has submerged the two essential step stones needed for The Daring Dunmer quest. The two needed to enter and exit Lost Aldaras. Actually the exit stone isn't submerged, but instead is now inside a newly UL created boulder.

A big Thanx Mucho for this excellent piece of work, Ervvyn. :thumbsup:

Um, in theory, yes, Real Life permitting. It's a bit hectic at the moment.


Duh... I never saw that one being released. :blush: Noted, thank you very much. :thumbsup:

What cells are those in? I could have sworn that the new UL isn't an issue for any steps.

The step needed to enter Lost Aldaras is in cell 26, - 7.

The step you land on when you exit Lost Aldaras is in cell 35, -7.

I'll post this on the UL thread as well. And may RL cut you some slack hecticwise, Ervvyn.

We've taken care of the issue FYI. Extremely minor adjustments were all that was needed to unbury the two steps.

A very sincere thanks mucho, Arthmoor. You're competent, you're fast, and you're work is free. What's not to like? :clap:
