My question again:
How to erase those fake shadows on the ground? They are usually under the trees, around the rocks, around the paths. The look like http://www.shrani.si/f/20/13P/2Ghi23L9/drevo1.jpg.

Annoying when you change the ground textures or alter landscape, they still remain in their places.

Please help.

I figured it out. Thanks!

Make sure you give your creature a higher value for its magic skills.


Those are the canopy shadows of trees. You want them disabled - Replace their textures with a dummy one. TO get the CS cell view to update - Try switching to a different cell/worldspace

Add the a script effect to the weapon's enchantment with the following script:

begin scriptEffectStart   if ( getIsID sdSpider ) && ( getStage zzQuest XX )	  kill   endIfend

Need some help with positioning : How do I position an actor directly behind another ? Oblivion's co-ordinate system gets me confused, as it is. Any help is appreciated.

Something like this should do.
(and I have a text on Oblivion coordinate systems in http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/User:QQuix. This code is mostly from there)

Float xAngleFloat xxTrigAngle  Float xDeltaXFloat xDeltaYFloat xDistance;=================================; Get:  DeltaX and DeltaY; From:	Angle and distance;=================================set xAngle to FirstActorRef.getangle Z + 180set xDistance to 50; distance from the first to the second actorif  xAngle > 360  set xAngle  to xAngle - 360endif if  xAngle <= 90  set xxTrigAngle  to 90 - xAngleelse  set xxTrigAngle to 450 - xAngleendif set xDeltaX to xDistance * cos xxTrigAngle set xDeltaY to xDistance * sin xxTrigAngleSecondActorRef.MoveTo FirstActorRef xDeltaX xDeltaY; or use SetPos instead of MoveToset xAngle to FirstActorRef.getangle Z SecondActorRef.SetAngle Z xAngle

Ah ... ! Thank You, QQuix ! I did recall that there was a article in the wiki that explained it, but couldn't find it ( kept looking for "coordinate system" ). You could move it into a new article - Will be quite an asset. I will be glad to help with that, if you wish.

Since you offered . . . feel free to turn it into an article, if you feel like it. Correct, rewrite, complement, rephrase, retitle as you see fit. (not sure if you offered that much but, hey, doesn't hurt to suggest)
As I say at the top of the page, I am not comfortable with writing, so the initial idea was to dump some [noncommittal?] text there in case somebody considers it worthy of improvement and turns it into something better or, at least, better written.

There is similar code on this page: http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Summon_Object

Hey!

I need your assistance with something. There's this house mod I have - with Vanilla it's ok, but there's a UL that modifies that exact area. I tried loading both the house mod and the UL in CS, setting none of them as active, fixing the positioning and saving it in a new esp.

This method failed though. If I loaded only the new esp, the house had no interior cell (my character fell into the void). If I loaded them both, there were two houses in the outside cell.

I also tried loading just the UL and the house, and setting the house as active. However, that seems to ignore the UL changes to the area (I assume it gives the active mod priority even if it loads before?).

What's the best way to solve this issue? I want to keep both a vanilla compatible version, and a UL compatible one (either a single esp or a patch for the other one).

Cheers!

For the best method, someone else will have to answer, but here are some facts:
- if two mods alter landscape of the same cell, landscape of the mod loaded last will overwrite other one.
So if you want UL landscape and your house, change the date of the house mod to be older than UL, and load both with house mod active, then arrange the house to fit on the UL landscape.
- since you've loaded two mods without either one active, moved house a bit and saved it as a new mod, you've created new mod that contains only changes that you have done but your house mod isn't changed. For creating third mod that will edit your house mod, you have to ESMify both UL mod and your house mod and make third one dependent of them both. Don't forget to ESPify tham back before playing.

Is there a script function that affects whether Npc's can hear you or not, like how blind stops Npc's from hearing you????

thanx

How do you set up an ini for a mod? Is it a .txt file and then you runbatchscript txtfilename (with OBSE)?

On the http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Con_SaveINI wiki page it says:

That just means it saves the all the values in the ini, correct?
Also if I call this in a script does it lag the game for a second or two (like Con_Save)?

Will do !


Missed that one as well :facepalm: Thanks, mate


Come again ?


The console command saveINI is used to save the game's INI file ( Oblivion.ini). For your purpose, you'll need to set up a text file ( INI if you wish to follow convention ) and use the following code to initialize it :

runBatchScript "Data\<or whatever directory>\XXX.ini"

The function is pretty fast and doesn't cause any performance issues.

Thank you for this!

Can magic effect items have a negative magnitude? If so, how? I've tried a few methods, but the lowest I've gotten so far is 0.

Hey!

Thanks for the reply!



If I try this, then the landscape around the house in the CS is the same as without UL. Setting the house to load as active seems to hide all the changes made by the UL mod.

As for the other choice, if I can use just one esp in the long run, I'd rather not make another one as a patch.

If I understand correctly, you'd like to save .esp slot? Use TES4Edit to load your house mod and delete all changes to landscape. After that, do the first method that I have described to you.

Is there a way through script to get the height scale value of a race?

Would http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/GetScale do the trick?

jut what I needed, thanx .

Nope, as far as I know. bg must know more.

Probably impossible, but why would you want to do that if I may ask? Most magic effects that would be interesting to have a negative magnitude simply have an opposite magic effect.

I was toying with the idea of negating a constant effect enchant by applying a negative constant effect of the same type. Actually I'm still trying other workarounds as I think of them.

Hi!
Before I start editing my mod, please help me clear something up...
1. question:
If something is a token and if there's:

additem [i]something[/i] 1

in dialogue response's result script box, will something be added to player or to NPC that says that?
I need it to be added to NPC.

2. question:
If token is unplayable ring (clothing instead of misc object), and is added to player, does it have any negative effects? I notice that it is added, but it can't be seen in inventory because it's unplayable. I want it invisible.

Do the AI check boxes "unlock" "lock door" work with custom doors? (I don't seem to be having any luck with it.) And if not is it possible to simply script shop doors to unlock for certain hours of the day?

Script:

begin gamemodeif gamehour >= 22 || gamehour < 8	lockelse	unlockendifend

Something like this placed on the door will work, but AI should also work and I think that it would be better that script.
