Okay, I figure this might be a simple (read: stupid) question, so I decided to ask it here rather than starting a new thread. It's a heightmap/worldspace question, and I looked all over the CSWiki and couldn't find anything that could help me out. My skill set is primarily object placement, and lately I've kinda-sorta mastered the little Landscape Editor to make the ground rise up to meet my stairs, or something. And my usual method of "see what this looks like in this instance, and what it looks like in that instance, and see if I can figure out how to do it" isn't working.

Alrighty. The main thing I'm trying to do is build something very similar to the IC Prison, but right around the cell 2, 19 and a few adjoining ones. Creating the new worldspace is simple. It's actually getting it to do what I want that's hard. I noticed that the IC Prison is its own separate worldspace, and I also noticed that it overlays with the parent Tamriel worldspace. I'm guessing that this is what's known as 'LOD,' but I'm not sure. As I look around in the ICPrisonWorld, its terrain and height map are identical (or at least pretty dang close) to what it looks like in Tamriel, and I wanted to do the same thing with my little walled-in worldspace.

I may be over-explaining it because I don't know the right words to use and I don't even know what I'm looking for, but I want the cell 2, 19 to be the center of my little ICJusticeHallWorld, and I guess I'm wondering how I copy-paste all the height/depth/landscaping/terrain painting/general geography stuff from that area in Tamriel to my worldspace, how I make ICJusticeHallWorld do for its spot on the map what the ICPrisonWorld does for its own spot on the map, make sure it's all generated properly and linked and such, and how I make sure it works so I can get on with the architectural object placing (because that I have experience with and can do all day long).

Like I said, I looked on the CSwiki but all it had was a tutorial for starting a new landscape from scratch. I've accessed the heightmap maybe three times since I've started playing around with the CS and the one time it didn't crash was because I didn't actually do anything. Heck, I can make it zoom in and out but I don't even know how to scroll up or down because I can't even see a scroll-bar on the side, and the last time I tried left-clicking in that area just to see what would happen, a lot of colors on the map changed and then the CS crashed.

Stupid question? Easy question and easy solution, hopefully? I'm at a roadblock here.

This a somewhat odd issue. I'm building a player house add I've done quite well so far. But....

Whenever I look in certain directions or areas of the house in 3rd person camera the screen goes black but the HUD is still visible over this. I 1st person it works fine though.

The infamous nVidia Black Screen bug - Make sure your cell has valid fog ranges.

Ok I'll check it out and post back if it's still there.

ADDING:

Oh I see. I had all the fog set to 0. Silly me.

I just made an .ini and now I want it to run when I load up the game. Do I use GetGameRestarted or GetGameLoaded to do this, or a mixture of both?

Ok so my other problem is gone (but I haven't thoroughly tested yet) but here's another one for ya.

I'm trying to make a dynamic vault gold stash. So the more gold the player has the more appears in the vault.

I put the following script on a trigger box before the door that enters the vault cell.

scn zxendlewebevaultgoldscriptBegin ontrigger player	if player.getitemcount gold001 <= 50	disable zvaultgold2	disable zvaultgold3	disable zvaultgold4	disable zvaultgold5	disable zvaultgold6	disable zvaultgold7	disable zvaultgold8	disable zvaultgold9	disable zvaultgold10	enable zvaultgold1endif	if player.getitemcount gold001 <= 500	enable zvaultgold2	disable zvaultgold3	disable zvaultgold4	disable zvaultgold5	disable zvaultgold6	disable zvaultgold7	disable zvaultgold8	disable zvaultgold9	disable zvaultgold10	enable zvaultgold1endif	if player.getitemcount gold001 <= 1500	enable zvaultgold2	enable zvaultgold3	disable zvaultgold4	disable zvaultgold5	disable zvaultgold6	disable zvaultgold7	disable zvaultgold8	disable zvaultgold9	disable zvaultgold10	enable zvaultgold1endif	if player.getitemcount gold001 <= 3000	enable zvaultgold2	enable zvaultgold3	enable zvaultgold4	disable zvaultgold5	disable zvaultgold6	disable zvaultgold7	disable zvaultgold8	disable zvaultgold9	disable zvaultgold10	enable zvaultgold1endif	if player.getitemcount gold001 <= 5000	enable zvaultgold2	enable zvaultgold3	enable zvaultgold4	enable zvaultgold5	disable zvaultgold6	disable zvaultgold7	disable zvaultgold8	disable zvaultgold9	disable zvaultgold10	enable zvaultgold1endif	if player.getitemcount gold001 <= 9000	enable zvaultgold2	enable zvaultgold3	enable zvaultgold4	enable zvaultgold5	enable zvaultgold6	disable zvaultgold7	disable zvaultgold8	disable zvaultgold9	disable zvaultgold10	enable zvaultgold1endif	if player.getitemcount gold001 <= 12000	enable zvaultgold2	enable zvaultgold3	enable zvaultgold4	enable zvaultgold5	enable zvaultgold6	enable zvaultgold7	disable zvaultgold8	disable zvaultgold9	disable zvaultgold10	enable zvaultgold1endif	if player.getitemcount gold001 <= 16000	enable zvaultgold2	enable zvaultgold3	enable zvaultgold4	enable zvaultgold5	enable zvaultgold6	enable zvaultgold7	enable zvaultgold8	disable zvaultgold9	disable zvaultgold10	enable zvaultgold1endif	if player.getitemcount gold001 <= 18000	enable zvaultgold2	enable zvaultgold3	enable zvaultgold4	enable zvaultgold5	enable zvaultgold6	enable zvaultgold7	enable zvaultgold8	enable zvaultgold9	disable zvaultgold10	enable zvaultgold1endif	if player.getitemcount gold001 <= 20000	enable zvaultgold2	enable zvaultgold3	enable zvaultgold4	enable zvaultgold5	enable zvaultgold6	enable zvaultgold7	enable zvaultgold8	enable zvaultgold9	enable zvaultgold10	enable zvaultgold1endifend

But it doesn't seem to be working.

EDIT:
I tried moving the trigbox into the same cell but I got this same result.

thankyou nikina aND shademe

i will look into both of those. the bag of holding should do untill i learn my way better around the scripting aspect of modding as i have no background in scripting and its all foreign to me still. but eventually the goal is definitely a script allowing ownership transfer if you dont get caught stealing right away.

i will be needing to create a huge landmass very soon in the fwe program. i read the wiki on fractal terrain but dont completely uinderstand it yet. i cant seem to figure out how to create the landmass as big as i need it. it seems to be handing me preset sized squares of landmass. any ideas on how to better control the size of land?

I'm just having problems with http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1016692. I'm beginning to think that the solution to my problems may be something that will be obvious to people more experienced with this.

When I click on where it says data, the file I'm working on is not listed there. If I wanted to playtest it, should it be there?

well it ain't the location of the trigbox (at least if so it is in addition to;)
do these changes:

That's twice you've helped me with the same mod.

Thanks!

EDIT:

Still seems to not work. This is a bit odd. I'll try add it a spell or something to see if it's the script itself or something else.

EDIT:

Ok I added to a spell it's still not working. I guess it's the script. But I don't know what the problem could be now.

Ok I tried this script but it still doesn't seem to be working. This getting to be annoying.

The logic is getting worse, you now have a gap between 50 and 500 gold where nothing happens!

Try disabling all the piles before the if's start, then do if...elseif...elseif...else...endif for just the enables. Include an "else" - no condition - to allow for any gold amount you didn't think of. Also, just in case disable acts as a return if the item is already disabled, you may have to add "If Getdisabled" tests around those. That's one really good reason for doing them all first, you'd only have to do that once!

Paranoia is good when you're coding a script!

Also . . .

If the player has 1.000.000 gold, if will satisfy the second condition ( > 500 ) and will not check the remainder conditions.

Check in the opposite sequence: If>20000 . . . elseif >18000 . . . elseif >16000 . . . etc

ghastley, disable works fine on disabled objects . . . and disabling everything up front is a good idea

Yes but it seems to not be working at all. Nothing is showing up. Do you think you could patch up my script? I've been working on it for hours and gotten nowhere.

Tell me about it. I'm a newbie scripter but my latest work is (i think) a nice and orderly piece of code, very easy to read and follow. I am however, due to said paranoia, being a bit redundant i think to which i will ask if it's serious at all for performance.

if i have a piece of script that goes something like:

If ( thatthing == 1 )   Set Var1 to 0Else   If ( something == x )	  Set var1 to a	  Set var2 to b   ElseIf (something == y )	  Set var1 to a	  Set var2 to c   ElseIf (something == z )	  Set var1 to a	  Set var2 to d   Else	  Set var1 to a	  Set var2 to e   EndIfEndIf

will it produce the EXACT SAME logical result as:

If ( thatthing == 1 )   Set Var1 to 0Else   If ( something == x )	  Set var2 to b   ElseIf (something == y )	  Set var2 to c   ElseIf (something == z )	  Set var2 to d   Else	  Set var2 to e   EndIf   Set var1 to aEndIf

And If so is it worthwhile to use either of them?

The way I suspect is that they both produce the same result, however the second example should have a lesser performance hit, no matter how insignificant. Am I right on this? should i take time to convert any 1st example isntances of code to 2nd example?(not that many but any bit may help i guess, plus it's good to be efficient)

Going back to my previous questions: Is there a way to trick the vampirescript / game into thinking the vampire player has fed WITHOUT EVEN TOUCHING / MAKING ANY SORT OF CHANGES to the vampirescript? this question is about compatibility because i want my lil project to work like an addon that doesn't screw up wether ppl use it on vanilla vamps or with most of the vamp mods?

and finally....
I would also like to thank kyoma and shademe for the previous responses. thanks for the help.

How do you change spell sounds to something custom? I would like to change any shock damage bolt to a thunder sound on casting, but I do not know how to put the sound file I have into the drop box under the Gameplay>Magic Effects ect. box. Is it in the Sounds.bsa?

Either of these should work with the triggerbox at the door leading in

Depends what context you what to use it in.

This is very perplexing. Even this isn't working.

EDIT: Could it be a result of the gold piles being persistent references or initially disabled?

Have you confirmed that the script is running? If it's attached to the wrong object, or in the wrong way (do you need OnTrigger or OnActivate, for example), it may not do anything. I'd add a message or two that let you know that something is going on, and take them out when it works.

I've added it to a spell to test it as well but I will try this.

EDIT:

Yep the script is running. But still no result. I check player.getgold in the console and I have 2419 so something should be there.

I just want to replace the shock spell sound with one that I have on my computer...ie a thunder sound, ect.

There are three ways.

Without a plugin:
Put the new sound here Oblivion\Data\Sound\fx\spl and name it spl_shock_hit.wav.

Redirecting the shock sound:
Load Oblivion.esm in the CS, and find SPLShockHit in the Object Window under Sounds. Double click to edit the sound object and point it to your new sound file. Click OK and save the plugin.

Redirecting the magic effect sound:
Load Oblivion.esm in the CS, and find SPLShockHit in the Object Window under Sounds. Double click to edit the sound object, change the ID and point it to your new sound file. Click OK and answer yes on the question to create a new form. Now go to Gameplay > Magic Effects... and locate SDHG (Shock Damage) and choose the sound object you created as Hit sound on the right side of the Magic Effects window. Save the plugin.

The first method will replace the shock sound everywhere, in any situation (also for other mods). The third method won't affect anything but the magic effect. Other mods that use the shock sound will still use the original sound. The second method may or may not affect other mods, that depends on how the mod author has handled things.

For whatever reason, I have no spl folder in my Sound folder.

However, I will continue to try, thanks.

I would recommend method A because it won't cause conflicts with magic overhauls.
