Hi, Corepc.
Any chance to tame them? Summon them in near future?
I am not asking much, one spell and one companion only...
It's Christmas after all...

Hooray :celebration: Now, ... when do we get the gauge ?

What level are you? And whereabouts is your character wandering? If you're up in the mountains you won't find these things (except in dungeons).
Me too! But I've died a *lot* more than you have, I'll bet. Hundreds of times I guess. On the other hand, most of the time I was literally just sitting watching the attack systems and animations trying to make them better. What did you meet by the way?

Because I don't believe outer beauty has any particular relation to inner character. I am quite happy to make a series of creatures that are wonderfully beautiful, but kill everything they meet either because of instinct or pure malice. In fact the dirtiest and nastiest looking creature here (http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll61/Revanchism/WilloftheWisps/RainofBlood2.jpg) is the only non-aggressive creature. It will defend itself if you attack, but it shouldn't attack unprovoked.
Well... I'd quite like to make them summonable, but that doesn't really fall into VASE's area of concern. I try to keep my mods quite tightly defined in terms of what they do, as best as I can. It prevents all kinds of conflict-issues, for a start, and also means the user really does get what they think they get, with no hidden problems (well, hopefully). I made them with the hope and intention that they'd be included in MMM, but they are a modders' resource as well, so if you want to try and persuade bg2408 that he should add a couple to LAME then feel free. Hell, I'll go in and back you up (i.e. add an extra "please") if you want. :hugs: I think it'd be great to have marauder battlemages summoning up vatte-lys and vafurlogi.

Further than this, I *do* have some ideas for a rather irreverant quest mod that is very definitely not of the grand "save the world" kind. More a "meet interesting people and do dangerous things"-kind of quest mod. That would actually involve taming some wisps and would garner the player a wisp animal companion, and as I've learnt bucketloads about particle systems and animating them, I've got some ideas on how to make your companion as cute and adorable as possible. I must resist the pink glowing hearts though!
As I said: personal philosophy at work there. Beauty can be just as deadly (or maybe more so) as that great, dirty minotaur with the big axe and personal hygiene issues.

Yep, Core's got that bit with the beauty just right. And yes, I tracked down the CTD (hence how I managed to take all those pictures again). I'll not point fingers as the mod responsible is in alpha and not publically released. Hopefully I'll be able to run it at a later stage in development without problems. Until then, I'll just feel sad...

Heheh, not so soon, that's for sure. I really beat that reference about the head, ehh?

Vac (appreciates the feedback)

http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2145451770101328736sRJFWn is screeny of my char Araya,
her black unicorn named Black beauty
and Charlie.

Now, Charlie is a Twinkle. He can be summoned if you play LAME.
If you give your permission to bg2408, he might consider adding few more spells,
so that Araya can play with Charlie's cousins from your VASE.

I promise she won't harm them

Really looking forward to that. Excellent job Vacuity (sorry - meant Team VASE of course) - can't wait to have them in my FCOM game.

VASE is a modders' resource: permission is implicit as long as I'm credited for the resources used. Ahh, just checked the LAME thread, I missed those posts. I'll reply there as well. And if they get used as a combat summon you may need to harm them...
They should fit into your FCOM game reasonably well already.

Vac

You have not updated your file description at TESNexus with the Higgs and the Baleful Spirit....

I am level 17, and I have had to fight several of these spirits already. Difficult, because I do not have a magical weapon. However, I just slap on some damage potions, and, after awhile, I can take them out. Wicked fun!!!!!

Ahh, yes. Thanks for the reminder. It's done now!Glad you're enjoying it. Any favourites thus far? Have you met the ones in SI yet?
Has anyone met the SI creatures yet?

Vac

No I have not gotten to SI yet. I like them all! They bring so much SPIRIT into the game!

Hey this should not be buried down this far..

guess it need a bump and me to start intergrating them.. :hubbahubba: and using some of them has well..

Yeah, I should have left some bugs in for people to post about...

Vac

Dam I am pyssed at this mod...did that sound bad enough?

Just one quick question. I'm looking to do a manual install of VASE onto a game already running MMM. I have SI. do I use vanilla SI in addition to vanilla cyrodiil, or replacing it? the readme didn't really specify what to do. help?

I thought it was fairly clear, particularly if you read the mini readme that came with the MMM plugin. Use the vanilla plugin for SI and the MMM plugin for Cyrodiil.

Man, hopefully I'll have time to do another description someday soon...

Vac

Thanks for the bumping but we are simply waiting this to be fully integrated within future MMM updates

Well, in general news on this style of creature, I've promised to make some unique bosses for Iliana's Elsweyr mod, and I've got some *ideas* for a couple of those. And a complete blank for one. But I'm sure something horrible will be imagined once I start messing about. They're fairly high on my list of things to do.

I'm going to be sorting out a few creatures for some of Corpc's travellers as well. They're not quite so high on my list of things to do.

So keep an eye out for those mods as well.

Core, do you need any grunt work done on integrating them into the main MMM esm?

Vac

See, what a team I work with, they are always volunterring to do the grunt work, while I do all the other stuff.

I will get back to you on the grunt work. lots of things to look over and see what is going to be needed, remember I had been working on MMM , while you and lilith where working on these..so I have not even seen them that much at all..

Thank you for VASE. I can't wait to encounter those beautiful forms!

I've checked the readme and this whole thread and I have a question. It adds diversity to Will-o-wips. So If I am to encounter a will-o-wisp in my game, I'll instead find one of the 2200 forms?

Does it also adds more spawn points?


koldunic

If you encounter a will o'the wisp, you'll encounter one of the 400 will o'the wisps or one of the 20 corrupted will o'the wisps. The other ~1,800 creatures are different from wisps and appear at different levels (and for half of them, only in SI).Every spawn point is an incompatibility, so no, there are no new spawn points. If you want more spawn points in the world I highly recommend using MMM and one of it's More Wilderness Life options. This will give you lots of opportunities to meet things while wandering through the world, and with the plugins I have provided some of these things will be creatures from VASE.

Questions answered?

Vac

Yes!

Thank again for VASE.

Glad I could help and I hope you like it.

Anyone else got any questions?

Vac

These things are gorgeous (in a dangerous kind of way). I really enjoy challenging enemies, so I'm definitely giving this a go.


After a fashion. Given the awesome work you've done with these, I'd love to see what you could do with Atronachs. :drool: Any plans for that?

I hope you enjoy the challenge! Heavens, I hope they *give* you a challenge: they should be decently balanced...No specific plans, no. I've got some mockup meshes to make for someone we won't name (he may not need them anymore though :facepalm: ), some boss creatures for Iliana, some resources for Koniption and I'm waiting for Haama to send me a pre-release version of Cobl so I can update II (and there's a *lot* to update there). Those are my immediate plans. I should also write wiki articles on what I learned while doing VASE as there's a lot of stuff I learned by trial and error (and error, and error, and error) that isn't to be found anywhere on the internet. And then, I guess a new project. I have to pick which of my ideas I want to see come to life the most.

Vac

Edit: Almost forgot, I'm also going to update this with lighting effects and possibly new sound sets sometime soon-ish as well.

I have a question. With all these new additions (2,185 it seems) I am curious about how often they will appear. Or rather, are all/most wisp spawns replaced with VASE spawns and then perhaps a handfull of new spawns. I'm mostly interested in Cyrodiil, not Shivering Isles. I'll be using it with a full FCOM setup in case that makes a big difference.

[edit]
Woops, talk about being blind. All of this was asked and anwsered in http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?s=&showtopic=1055519&view=findpost&p=15391934. That's what I get for not reading up before I bother people with my questions.
