Rorikstead and the NPCs are all there but none of them speak...Sun, 07 Jun 2026 09:55:02 +0000While doing some final checks before the dungeon test, I discovered that I need to rewrite the code for the menu structures of all three lesser powers. The current implementation could easily lead to Papyrus stack overflows during longer play sessions due to how the menus call each other. (For the non-coders: every time a menu opens another menu, Skyrim stores the previous one in its memory "stack" to remember how to get back. If you click through menus too many times without properly closing them first, this stack overflows, which can cause severe script lag or even crash the game.) Fixing this architecture will take some extra time and effort, but it's absolutely necessary to ensure the mod runs stable. Time to get this framework sorted!Sat, 06 Jun 2026 11:36:11 +0000Comments are disabled on the Nexus page for the updated Cyrodiil Re-Loaded mod, so I can't ask this question there. The mod is flagged by Wrye Bash as having 16 deleted base records - is this a problem, or can I ignore it?Wed, 03 Jun 2026 20:18:04 +0000https://www.afkmods.com/index.php?/gallery/image/8872-1410-the-soulrest-armada-is-heading-for-the-citypng/Fred thanks Mr_Siika and Dall's Nord's textures !!Wed, 03 Jun 2026 11:43:17 +0000huh. wonder how that got skipped over QA testing xDMon, 01 Jun 2026 12:25:33 +0000Hi Arthmoor, Thank you for the great mod! It really stars new game properly. Is there any way to increase the Fame requirement for KotN? A higher number would really improve my playthrough. I'm not really a modder and don't understand TESEdit or Construction Set that much, don't know if it could be done. Just a minor tweak for more immersion, if it's not possible or doable, I'll still use the mod, it works fine as it is.Sun, 31 May 2026 20:15:25 +0000As you might have guessed from my "if everything looks good" note, I ran into a few more bugs that needed fixing first. Because of this, I haven't gotten around to the massive dungeon combat test yet - but smaller skirmishes on my way to pick up Xelzaz and shortly after picking him up went well! Additionally, I decided to change my original plan and add a very handy quality-of-life function after all: a Scan Followers feature. Instead of having to target every single follower with the Lesser Power manually, this new function automatically scans and assigns your entire group to the Actor Manager. If you travel with a large party, this will save you a ton of hassle. Note: This feature requires the Papyrus Extender. It is also necessary for detecting your followers' summons, so they receive the "Automatic Calm" feature as well. Once the remaining bugs are squashed and the big combat test is done, the beta will go live on GitHub.Sat, 30 May 2026 21:15:14 +0000As said the outskirts of Soulrest City.

It is in: \SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Mopy It has a lot of settings that allegedly can be changed to configure Wrye Bash. I had no idea that was there! There is this option in that .ini file: ;--bWarnTooManyFiles: use this to enable or disable the warning on too many ; mods/BSAs on startup. Default is True. bWarnTooManyFiles=False Unfortunately, this did not work on my issue. There was no difference that I could see. I have been stuck on this for days. Wrye Bash may be the only thing I have found that has a (soft) incompatibility with ESLifier.Sun, 24 May 2026 00:41:07 +0000Totally forgot about Mina!Sat, 23 May 2026 16:22:37 +0000This morning I implemented what will be the final feature for now: the meeting point mechanic. I’ve also made the features that were originally intended only for followers available to all peaceful NPCs. This means my system now works with any follower, regardless of whether they use Skyrim’s standard follower system or not. Over the next few days, I’ll be testing the mod’s main feature, Automatic Calming, under realistic combat conditions (previously, to test it, I had the companion attack another companion using the ‘favor’ command, or I used the console command ‘startcombat’). If everything looks good then, I’ll release the first beta on GitHub.

I have a very large load order, but I use Eslifier to reduce ESM/ESPs. You have to run ESLifier after Bash. When I disable the Eslifier output so I can run Bash, it temporarily increases my ESM/ESP count above the limit. I have run into a situation where Bash is now complaining that there are too many plugins and it automatically disables some of them, seemingly randomly. I am looking for a way to temporarily tell Bash to ignore the ESM/ESP count and just run anyway. Then I can reduce the count when I later run ESLifier. This is literally the purpose of ESLifier. ESLifier successfully reduces the plugin number by over 100 ESPs, BTW! I have been using ESLifier for over a year, but my load order is just now getting big enough that Bash is complaining. If that feature is not available, can it be added to Bash? People's plugin counts are getting bigger over time. How is the best way to handle this situation? Thanks! I am on Wrye Bash v315.202605210733-RC5-342dbee (Standalone). Edit: 2026-05-22: 1) I still want to be warned if over the limit, but then have options on how to deal with it (ignore, etc). Randomly disabling ESPs with no user input does not seem like a good choice, though at least it shows you which ones it chose. 2) The other SSE utilities I have used can handle being run with too many plugins - Pandora, Synthesis, PGPatcher, and obviously ESLifier. Loot ( which I don't really use any more) notifies me that I am over the limit, but still runs. Bash is the only one I use that can't handle it.Thu, 21 May 2026 14:21:31 +0000And one more bug, I think this is the last one I want to write about. Linux Mint 21.3, Wrye Bash 315, dev branch.

Details =========== This mod/patch is part of an attempt to mitigate (or completely fix) the collision issues with the Talos Plaza Bridge. The original issue was that, due to how the bridge sections are placed in the world, they can sometimes be loaded by the game after the NPC’s that are supposed to be walking on them. When this happens, NPC’s will fall through the bridge and get stuck, usually until the cell is reloaded via fast travel to another location. To mitigate this, the UOP added collision boxes just under the bridge’s roadway. This gives NPC’s something to walk on whilst the bridge mesh is loading. However, the UOP fix has caused a secondary problem for some users of the patch; sometimes the collision boxes seam to “rise up” above the roadway, making it impassable for NPC’s and the player (unless you jump over the collision). I tried to get to the bottom of this in the run up to the release of UOP 3.5.9, but unfortunately I have never experienced the bug myself and so can only postulate a fix and wait to see if it works for users who do have the problem. My initial plan for a fix was to add slopes to both ends of the collision boxes to give something for NPC's to walk up and over if the collision rose above the level of the bridge. In the process of exporting and cleaning up the new nif, I discovered that the NiNode the collision is attached to has a translation applied that lowers it about 24 Todd units. I then checked both of the Talos Bridge meshes and discovered that their collision meshes have a point-of-origin -256 units on the Z axis. Collision point-of-origin is different to NiNode translation, but these discrepancies could help to explain why the bridge collision "drops" and the collision box "rises". Given that no member of the team was able to reproduce the bug, the decision was taken to only include the fixed bridge meshes in UOP 3.5.9, and then add the separate sloped collision meshes if that doesn’t work. From my investigations, I believe that the new sloped collision meshes will ultimately be necessary, so I am releasing them separately so that we can hopefully get some data about how they perform for people who experience this bug. My theory is that the sequence in which Oblivion loads assets around the Talos Plaza Bridge is being interrupted somehow and as a result the collision boxes are sometimes loaded without the translation in the nif (which the game essentially treats like a single frame animation) being applied. If my theory is correct, then the sloped collision boxes should never “rise” out of the ground and the bug will be completely fixed. If this is the case, then the UOP will need to fix the base collision box nif as there may be other instances where it moves out of alignment. Worst case, player and NPC’s can walk up and over the slopes, and will appear to float above the road surface slightly. Install ======= Manual: 1. Extract the files to a temporary location. 2.

FredTue, 19 May 2026 09:17:33 +0000Mon, 18 May 2026 22:31:38 +0000Apologies for the delayed response. It sounds like you've found most of the info already. The reason I asked is because there's a fundamental difference in the way Oblivion and Fallout 3/NV do facial animations. Starting with the original version of Skyrim, Bethesda retired egm fiiles, and also changed the way face morphs work. In addition to Oblivion having the egm file to control the face shape morph, it also uses two different types of morph for expressions in the tri file. It uses "relative" morphs for expressions and lip sync, but "absolute" morphs for eye movements like blinking or squinting. Unfortunately, PyNifly imports Oblivion Tri files as though they are Skyrim ones, ignoring the different morph types. As far as egm files go, currently we can't edit them in Blender. You can import them into Blender, but export always produces an unusable output that either crashes the game or causes the headpart to be invisible. I don't know why this happens, Scanti was the one who implemented egm support into the original Blender nifScripts that the plugin inherited, but afaik, they've never worked. So, what can we do? Basically, you can use Scanti's Conformulator to create new egm and tri files, and then check the output of the egm files and also edit the tri files in Blender 2.49b. The Blender tri import/export scripts are usually reliable, later versions seem to have scaling issues with Oblivion, I don't know what the issue is. The difficulty is eye morphs, the Conformulator doesn't read them, and although the tri plugin can import and export them, editing them produces unpredictable results and often results in a corrupted tri file. You need to add the eye morphs separately, there are couple of ways: This is the original way, by ThottleKitty: https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/18566 There's also Triton: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/21545?tab=description Face mix is probably the easiest way to add eye morphs, though: https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/35037 According to the author of this mod, there's a way to edit egm files using FaceMix: https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/51090, it's described in their downloadable project file. Personally, I've managed to edit mouth, teeth, and main head meshes so far. I've experimented with replacing eye morphs with faceMix, but I haven't completely re-done them for my projects yet. Hope that helps!Sun, 17 May 2026 02:32:36 +0000
