Dwip Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 So, getting ready to dip back into Skyrim, which I haven't seriously touched for about a year. About time for me to check out all the DLCs I haven't played and all that. But I haven't paid attention to most things Skyrim for most of that year, thus: - I assume our go to program is still Bash. What new and fun pitfalls and secret rituals are we performing now? Anything else program-wise I need to care about? - What should I be looking at for mods? I was pretty happy with the base game, so I'm not in dramatic want of anything overhaulish, more random cool stuff, or, hell, just about anything people think I should look at. - Dare I ask what the current state of actual mod making is?

Ysne58 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Arthmoor's mods including the unofficial patches. You can find those here on DC. TK's mods if you want those changes. You can find those here on DC. WillieSea's Levellers Tower. BOSS for load order. The uncapper by Elys. These are for starters for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndalayBay Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Work starting in less than one minute no time to post anything more than Line: 30Char: 396Error: 'jpb' is undefinedCode: 0URL: http://www.darkcreations.org/forums/topic/3150-son-of-random-stuff/page-57 EDIT Code box added to show line breaks, work break ends in less than one minute no time to post anything more! EDIT2 At home now. For some reason adding the CODE box removed the line breaks that adding it was supposed to ensure would be displayed. I don't like CODE on this forum, it always seems to do stupid things. CODE contents fixed. Yep, it's broken in 3.4.1, the current version of the software. They have fixed it already in 3.4.2, which we'll apply as soon as we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely the unofficial patches. Especially for the DLCs. Just don't be surprised if you still find bugs, there are many, and they have no known cause yet. Bash is still the goto program, but at the moment is limited to merging leveled lists. Nothing else comparable is available. No arcane rituals needed, general install support and mod management matured some time ago. Get all my stuff. You know you want it Two very nice things to have for the cool factor of them: Wet & Cold and Footprints. The current state of mod making is chaotic at best. The CK is more or less solid, still has a few rough spots and some occasional crashes, but for the most part will do its job. Nifskope is getting there, but the whole Blender thing is still a disaster. TES5Edit is of course vital. Clean your DLC. Your game will be much happier for it. Next update for TES5Edit will make it a completely viable tool for conflict resolution and patch creation. The script data has finally been decoded and testing has gone well on that.

Dwip Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Thanks, guys. Speaking of the CK, anything to do about the interminable error messages from Bethesda's apparently sloppy design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Slog through them unhindered? Unfortunately they haven't bothered to fix the actual causes of those errors. Some of which are apparently due to bad meshes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwip Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 That's about what I figured. On another note - hey Andalay, did the moderator icon go missing? I'm looking at a red X under my name for some reason. Is this a sign that I'm about to be thrown into the bear pit to kick off the Great Purge of 2013?

Xae replaced all the group icons the other day. I see yours in the directory, so I'll check the path. He moved things around and may have forgotten to fix the path for your group.

Amadaun Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Of course you're not going to get thrown into the bear pit. We don't have a bear pit. We have a tiger pit. With sharks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndalayBay Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Yeah I'm not sure how that's supposed to work either. I'm guessing our tigers have gills or maybe she meant tiger sharks, which are nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwip Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 In installing Bash for the first time in a year, it's...interesting to see how much of that giant UI discussion from a year ago actually happened. Also, if it doesn't take 5 external programs and 3 hours of downloading to get set up, you're probably not playing a real game. Also, Nexus, WTF is your issue today?

Ysne58 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I have no idea, but Nexus, refusing to download is really annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Nexus is working again and I could download Wrye Bash without fuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorians Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Really? Where's the fun in that? Maybe it won't install right, then there'll be something to fuss about. I found that 303 fails to install correctly if you only choose stand-alone, I had to install again including the python versions to get stand-alone to fully install. Also 303 lacks up-to-date changelogs, so check the Beth thread for the latest changes. Additionally, sometimes 303 complains that the Oblivion data folder is locked by another program (in Windows 7 at least), exiting Wrye Bash and relaunching should stop that behaviour.

Dwip Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Oddly, 303 dropped right in for me just now. Works pretty good. Installers tab is still a hog though, so I guess the whole BAIT thing from a year ago never happened along with all that UI that never happened. Oh well. Now to figure out what I was doing before my day went from Skyrim install to hot water heater installing. Cleaning, I think? Deciding if cleaning Update.esm was a good idea? I think that was it.

Dwip Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Well, that's neat, Bash. You swore to me you were uninstalling my previous versions, and sure enough, I have a nice install of 303 for Skyrim. Oblivion is apparently still rolling with 296 though, so...that's interesting, I guess? Also, I'd like a TES5Edit icon, Bash. WHERE IS MY EDIT ICON.

Arthmoor Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 The icon shows up if TES5Edit is in the proper location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwip Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Which, straight in your Skyrim directory is a dumb place for it, if we're being honest about it. Which is why, because since Bash does everything harder than it needs to be, you can do the copy bash_default.ini to bash.ini and go in and manually add it with a different path after uncommenting some shit, because GUI options for this are for losers. However, critically to my last post, this only works right if you type the path right. Autodetection, how hard could it be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
