Got a quick question? Post here for a quick response.

No straight figure for that but it should be able to simulate projectiles without hitches. There are a few released mods that do the same, in case you were wondering.

I removed the sleeves from the armor mesh as suggested, but it only makes things worse: http://img532.imageshack.us/img532/3716/skelliarmortrouble.jpg
Now the armor stretches across the room. :laugh: (I may actually use that for a funny mod I have in mind) Is there any way to avoid this for a more serious mod?

You removed the sleeves, but did you remove the rigging to the skeleton's arms?

I'm not sure exactly how that works, but I'm pretty sure it's more than just deleting the sleeves themselves.

Ok, thanks. None that allow the scripted particle to bounce off other collision objects, at least that I know of...

Check windfall and moriacis (?) - they both have skeletons with armors. Check also the posts by saiden (storm) in http://www.silgrad.com/wbb2/thread.php?postid=99611#post99611 thread.

A question about the Magnitude and Duration settings for Ingredients.

Do the Magnitude and Duration settings in the Effect field affect the effect durations when brewed into potion? Is the Durations setting a cap? I ask because in Vanilla Paralyze effects are very brief in poisons, and have a Duration setting of 2 in the CS, does this in fact just act as a sort of lock?

Looking through the CS at some vanilla and mod added ingredients shows a great deal of variance among the Magnitudes and Durations for same effects. Some are 0M 0D, some 5M 0D, 45M 1D, etc.

The only bit of related information I was able to find on the wiki concerns Restore Fatigue effects with Wortcraft. The example there is that Bread, which unlike most ingredients has a duration of 0 instead of 1 for it's Restore Fatigue effect restores 10FP instead of 5.

I'm knocking together a plugin to extend the idea of http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5065 to cover all Vanilla/SI, OOO, MMM and COBL ingredients for my own use and there just isn't any information available on the Magnitude and Duration settings.

Any insight regarding these settings would be much appreciated.

This http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Category:Potion_Strength should help.

That did help, thank you, I admit I came across that page and just skimmed through it closing it out thinking it was relating solely to apparatus. :facepalm:

Does the "coc" command work on NPCs, particularly when used in-game from the console?

Nope.

Is there any way to disable saving/quicksaving in a script? I've searched, but I can't find any functions/settings.

A workaround wouldn't be too hard, but it's not preferable.

Tried removing the rigging, but I got a CTD as soon as I entered the cell with the skeleton in it. The CS also crashes now when I try to "preview" the skeleton that's supposed to be wearing the cuirass.


Tried following the instructions there, but the CS either crashed or gave about 300 warnings every time I tried something.
Any other ideas? I do appreciate the help.

Use DisableControl.

Ah, of course. That'd get rid of quicksaving.

It wouldn't stop the player from saving using the regular method though. I guess I'll have to come up with a workaround then.

If you want to be evil, make a mod that checks where you are when you load a save. Anywhere but a safe location and the Player drops dead immediately.

Ha ha ha, that'll teach 'em.

Do have a look at Windfall - they have some skeletons with armor - the helmet part will be more difficult though I guess. Nifskope is not my strong point as you can see in my signature lol .(the help link)

Thanks! I'll look into Windfall and see what I can figure out. One thing I thought about was trying to combine the armor pieces I want to use with the Skellie.NIF the way JGreybear did for his Ayleidoon Karan mod. The only thing I'd need to do to avoid that weird distortion effect is figure out how to keep the skeleton's arms from falling off when it "dies". Anyone know how to do that?

Okay, I've just added the MDSaddlebags mod, but I'm using FCOM with MMM and Slof's horses that include Saddlebag models already.

There should be a simple way to alter the nifs that come with MDSaddlebags to make them invisible, right?

Do I make an invisible texture and point the nif toward that, or was there some simpler trick?

Ok how would one go about destroying a string array element :

let n[0] := sv_Destruct 

gives an error, set is out of question and

let str := n[0]sv_Destruct str

won't work (see quotation) - right ? Would :

let n[0] := strsv_Destruct str

work ? Would it work without sv_Destruct str if str == 0 to begin with (not legal with normal string vars) ?
:confused:

Is there a function that returns a string containing the name of a cell? If I'm not mistaken, GetName will only work on objects or references.

ar_Erase aArray sIndexOfElement. Strings stored inside arrays are automatically cleaned up by OBSE's collector.

Thanks indeed

GetParentCell - returns the objectID of the parent cell of the calling reference
Then use GetName.
Will work probably - let us know

btw interior or exterior cell ? what is the return value in exteriors ? http://obse.silverlock.org/obse_command_doc.html
