OT: All right, chara from now on; I got used to that piece of slang back when I was playing MMOs (until I got an expenditure arrow to the knee, LOL). Turns out it's now a hated word.

I think I'll have to use an editor to fix that problem, but otherwise I'm keeping this armorset, as the textures can be edited in Photoshop with a DDS plugin.

Update: okay, fixing it with Creation Kit, and then have to adjust the armor to make it less fanservicey, like lengthening the hem.

Well you could say that since I pretty much try to kill everything I see and did the vampire side of Dawnguard. I just dig the "dark" affect you see in my SS and the vampire eyes and the "evil" side seems to go with it haha. But lately, I've just been playing around with armor/weapon skins. I haven't actually played the game in awhile, or at least since I beat Dawnguard.

Ah, now you're just doing it on purpose!

In other news, I'm feeling some of the voice acting in this game to be...dull. I guess it was that merchant in Markarth in particular who just sounded bored as hell describing her husband's death O_o.

Rising Dragon · 2012-08-21, 23:24

I just call them chars.

Oh wait, that doesn't work either, does it?

Alchemist007 · 2012-08-21, 23:27

I should find a good Char looking model and name them as such. Then I'll use a sword and shield combo and everytime I block, I'll yell "COUNTER ATTACK!" while leaping after that sewer rat who dared to provoke me.

sa547 · 2012-08-22, 02:19

Well, I just solved the case of the "dissolving" school uniform: opening the mesh files in Nifskope, it turned out that JackGa applied an alpha transparency for the blouse and skirt, which wasn't present in his other creations. So I had to delete those nodes and overwrite the blouse/skirt mesh files.

Proof:

I have to tell this guy to create more themed armors based on this and then he should compile them into a single package.

BTW, as I like things in black (and why not?), I did an unofficial addition (yet so damn hairy to go through the rigmarole of mod editing):

The shiny leathery look needs to be toned down, though.

EDIT: After hours of skulking, tinkering and putting myself into a crash course on 3D texture mapping, turns out that I need to set and save an alpha channel bit in those DDS files to create a matte effect. All's left for me is to match the skirt color to the blouse, save, and I can rest easy.

Bethesda turned the "Build Your Own Home" mod into an official 5-dollar DLC with added stewards and child adoption.

Destined_Fate · 2012-08-28, 10:26

So... It's just multiple mods put together? Seems like most of that stuff is already in the Nexus. Still very convenient for all that put together and there seems to be some new content on it that hasn't been done before on the Nexus.

DuoRanger · 2012-08-28, 10:30

well some of the content on this pack probbaly will be added in the CK too, at least the added more Features that most modders will use to play it without problem

and well, beth managed to troll Microsoft with both Dawnguard and this DLC, Lets see now if they will do the Large Content Packs

Yea, none of those mods are anything close to the DLC. 5 bucks for a shit ton of new immersion? Sign me up. have fun with your free boring version. :P

Vexx · 2012-08-28, 11:26

Erk.... that's another reason why console gaming really never has or probably will have my attention or money outside of, say, Rock Band and soccer (though modding those would be a blast as well).

Who · 2012-08-28, 12:00

Adopting children you say...

I'm going to pull an Angelina Jolie with this add-on and adopt every single child in Skyrim.

That's untrue, it looks very similar to some of the mods on the Nexus already. Just modified. It's doubtful that this DC would have ever been made had those mods not been made on the Nexus first and proved popular.

This isn't the first time Bethesda has copied popular or convenience mods that were on the Nexus before. Fallout 3 is a good example of that.

Myssa Rei · 2012-08-28, 12:52

Actually, this looks like part of the stuff that came out of the Developer's Week. Remember that one, a few pages back? A lot of the features shown there eventually made their way into Dawnguard (and even earlier, like Mounted Combat and Ranged Killcams).

C'mon Bethesda, I'm still waiting on the Crab Battle to be turned into official content...

sa547 · 2012-08-28, 12:56

For some reason or another, a number of modders don't want to upload their works up at Steam. Hell, on the other hand, there's a body modder who claims she's in conflict with Nexus over some trivial issue (first time I ever heard such modding drama).

After trying everything else, I'm happy with Breezehome (and the camping kit).

Modding. Serious business.

Sounds just like the kind of drama in Deviantart.

BTW, I finally got the alternate uniform's colors toned correctly:

Myssa Rei · 2012-08-28, 22:32

Speaking of mods, since I started using them I could no longer swm properly in Skyrim, since I can't SEE where the heck I'm going; everything under the water is opaque, even after I cast Water Breathing. I'm not sure which mod is doing it though.

Rising Dragon · 2012-08-28, 23:16

At that point, you gotta use the tried-and-true method of finding out the problem: test them by turning them off one at a time until you find the culprit. Or turn them all off and test them one at a time until you find the culprit. Either or.
