Shaydow Posted December 30, 2012 Author Posted December 30, 2012 Well just made a new character' date=' when choosing a new Temptress (my current race) It sort of worked, except when I gained control of my character the NPCs were unresponsive and just sort of standing around. So no freeze/crash, but still strange bug that makes it unplayable. however, when trying again this time being a Celestial race, everything worked fine and no complications. So it seems to be some kind of conflict between those two mods, I think I may just race change my current character to a nord in the mean time until this gets worked out. Edit: Ok so I feel like a fool for not trying this before posting this, but I just got onto my main character....everything working fine now. Very strange....I guess I just had to equip the armor on a character to get it rendered or something, but my main character (temptress) is now working fine with the armor. Thanks for the support you gave me, and sorry I've been a hassle. [/quote'] While not exactly a hassle, please understand that not every mod will always be compatible with every other mod, it is IMPOSSIBLE for mod-makers to check how their mod will work with every other mod there is. Also note that while I am glad you got it working, not all custom races will always play nice with others. It is one of the reasons I always suggest to others when they say " I am ctd'ing when I go to create a new celestial at character creation! " to turn off any other custom races they have. Skyrim is written with a memory limitation, so no matter if you have 12 gigs of ram and a video card with 8 gigs, your gonna run into the same limitation as someone with say 8 gigs of ram and a 1 gig video card ( for the most part ). This limitation is what usually causes CTD's, as to many mods are all trying to work at the same time, and Skyrim just can't handle it all.
Shaydow Posted December 30, 2012 Author Posted December 30, 2012 Added another V5 Patch note under changes for anyone who has already read them I had forgotten to add yesterday when I wrote it up ( sorry about that ). -Forgot to add this the other day : Run speed bonus is now applied to Knight Forms Wing Power rather then the Form itself. This was done to give higher level players the option to control how fast or slow they moved when in a Form.
Shaydow Posted December 30, 2012 Author Posted December 30, 2012 Started preparations for what I am calling " Shaydows Hand picked Animations ". While there will be a FAQ for it I will give you all some details on what this is / does : -I did NOT make a single animation that comes with this pack. -I DID take a long and tedious amount of time renaming MANY animations. What does this mean? It means I have combined through trial and error what one animation and another animation look like together in a DIFFERENT animation. -This will NOT require Celestials to use, or any other mod but FNIS for ONE of the animations ( Momo's jumpback mod ). HOWEVER, note that the animations are handpicked by me to work best with the Celestial Skeleton, I.E Sword on back, you will not play an animation the still looks like your pulling the sword off your hip, but off your actual back / walking,running, weapons etc are all bbp / tbbp compatible etc. -This Addon(ish) will not take me long to do, and should be released sometime tomorrow. I want to get this out ASAP for new users of Celestial V5 that feel the animations they have don't work well for the race ( Vanilla animations are HORRIBLE for Celestials ). -The pack will include a Read Me with instructions on not only how to install, but also how to back up all your existing animations in case you do not like what I picked, as well as some tips on how to mix and match the ones you DO like together. -I will try to make a short video showing the handpicked animations working together, though you can see glimpses of some of them in all my other videos / screenshots. *EDIT* You will probably also want to get PCEA ( Player Character Exlusive Animations ) if you do not have it already. What this does is makes any custom race your using ( like Celestial ) be the ONLY one that uses MOST of these animations, and not all NPC's in game will use them, only you. NOte that PCEA REQUIRES FNIS to work!
gokuzeny Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 So I just tried to play V5 but I CTD either as soon as the character creation screen loads or when i hit R to create my character. Tested other races with V5 uninstalled and they worked fine' date=' its only when i have Celestials on. I was wondering if the esp had to be in a certain place in my load order. I do have ece but per your instructions I placed celestials after it. [/quote'] Is this a new character your trying to create at the beginning of the game, or an old character? If it is a brand new character, you may have the same issue I do with custom races and to many customization mods. Don't patch with extended sliders when you first go to make your character, and uncheck any hair mods you have that do NOT have the hair your going to want to use ( I myself have to turn off Apachii and subsequently any mod dependent on it ). Create your brand new character. Go through the opening sequence. When you get inside Helgen keep and your hands get untied and you can go into 3rd person, save your game, shut down, then reactivate all those mods. You can then also patch with extended colors. Then load up your save and use something like http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/20092 ( this is the one I use ) to further customize yourself. I myself have to do this when I create a Celestial. To many customization mods make character creation almost impossible with a custom race at the start of the game, due to all the NPC's, buildings, the light from the sun and fires, etc. I can't even make a basic vanilla character if I have apachii and 1 other hair mod installed :/ If your crashing when trying to use a Show Race Menu on an existing character, it may be a load order issue. Try turning off ALL mods BUT celestials. If it still crashes you on an existing character let me know. Ok another thing: In meshes\actors\character\celestial\female\femalefeet_*.nif Are highheel feets if you remove the footware' date=' the character is walking on the toes instead on the feet^^ Concerning the the CTDs at char creation, I have them only if I'm using a lot of mods that add items at the startup in addition to celestial, because celestial adds a lot of them at char creation, it may overload the char creation. (Is not a bug/error, just a minor incompatibility but I thought I should be mentioning it) [/quote'] ok sorry for late response. Yes this is a new character. Also I use Alternate start cuz I hate the long drawn out vanilla intro, not to mention ive read you will CTD less indoors during character creation on a moded game. Anyways thank you both for your help, I happened to figure out what it was but I will keep in mind these things in case i have problems in the future. I feel really dumb because it turns out it was the apachii skyhair V 1.5 that i just updated to, apparently I missed the part about it having all the previous fixes included and left the patches on,, so as soon as i took those off everything worked fine.

Shaydow Posted December 31, 2012 Author Posted December 31, 2012 Man I can't keep up. I also forgot there are also different Hand to Hand animations / power attacks in there, never showed a normal jump up and down, just left right forward and back. Let's just put it this way, I've replaced almost every animation in the game, if not every one.

Let's just put it this way, I've replaced almost every animation in the game, if not every one. [/quote'] pcea ? I explained PCEA in the same post I mentioned it. It makes it so custom races get to use their own animations that NPCs don't use. So if you have a sword idle like the one in my video, or a run animation, etc, only YOU ( if your a custom race ) use those animations, and NPC's will NOT use them, but use default Vanilla Skyrim animations instead. BTW guys what I dropped by to say was just tested and the pack is working fine on my wifes computer. She had no animation mods installed at all, AND she didn't have FNIS installed either, and everything worked fine. So while you won't need FNIS to use the animations in the pack, you WILL need it for PCEA. All this with links and details will be in the readme with the download. I am zipping it up now and getting ready to upload it to mediafire, shouldn't take very long, its only like a 15meg file when 7zipped. ( contains something like 399 redone animations fyi )
Shaydow Posted December 31, 2012 Author Posted December 31, 2012 Update the downloads section with a link to the animation pack and videos. Enjoy!
gokuzeny Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Love the animations, thanks a million. One question though, what are you using to pan around your character in combat mode, Ive always been frustrated by the fixed camera in it and was never able to find a mod for it.
Shaydow Posted January 1, 2013 Author Posted January 1, 2013 Love the animations' date=' thanks a million. One question though, what are you using to pan around your character in combat mode, Ive always been frustrated by the fixed camera in it and was never able to find a mod for it. [/quote'] There are 2 ways to do it. The first is to open your console and type animcam. This allows for the camera to pan around you even in combat but makes moving around difficult and is best just for some screen shots or making movies. The 2nd and easier way and the one you saw me use in the videos a few times is to just hold down your F key This gives a more limited animcam ( you can 't move ) but will allow you to spin the camera around on demand while having weapons drawn, and letting go of the F key will send the camera right back behind you.
wizek1d Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Oh man, all those perk changes are going to murder Skyrim Redone...
Otaku21 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 very nice mod, but i would like to see the other races had to get 1 form of there pick, while your Celestial race gets both, also if the Celestial race has to wait to lvl 30 to use forms, why not make a quest for them to get it both forms, so you can add a diffent main power that would help, like "Healing Form" witch stops Mana regen or stamina regen but gives double Health regen, and the same can be done for Mana "Magicka Form" and "Stamina Form" Health being Main power, while Mana and stamina being the side powers
Shaydow Posted January 1, 2013 Author Posted January 1, 2013 Oh man' date=' all those perk changes are going to murder Skyrim Redone... [/quote'] Try to place any mods you have that also alter perk trees AFTER Celestial in your load order. If my perks STILL show up and you think it is to much, you do have the option of simply not taking them very nice mod' date=' but i would like to see the other races had to get 1 form of there pick, while your Celestial race gets both, also if the Celestial race has to wait to lvl 30 to use forms, why not make a quest for them to get it both forms, so you can add a diffent main power that would help, like "Healing Form" witch stops Mana regen or stamina regen but gives double Health regen, and the same can be done for Mana "Magicka Form" and "Stamina Form" Health being Main power, while Mana and stamina being the side powers [/quote'] I'm not sure what you mean by other races only get one form. Both powers are available to any race that has my mod via the console, as I described in the main post. I said you only have to GIVE yourself one. If you give yourself Devil form, use it, then leave it, you will have Devil AND Angel after that. V5 added a level restriction simply because Forms made early gameplay WAAAY to easy, and so it was boring. Simple as that. Saying " why not just add in a quest "? Well one, if you actually read my posts you would see I would like to and is something I plan on doing, but it is not just a simple " Click / quest / DONE! " Quests are in fact one of THE most time consuming things to make for the game in mods, never mind GOOD quests. Stage planning, voice acting, script writing, creation, implementation, testing, balancing, any unique places the quest has that are not part of the game..... Celestial needed to have a downside regardless of the level they could use forms, since the core of their gameplay has them going after and using forms that are powerful. Cutting starting stats by 30 each and lowering regens does NOT make the game unplayable, although it was a bit more of a challenge. Since I already wanted to add in new armor the player could have for when they went in and out of forms, balancing this armor for early pre level 30 gameplay and making it part of the bonus to the race ( or any other race, though mind you I DIDN'T have to do that ) made playing a new Celestial all the way through the game more then balanced. I mean, if you rather I could make the armor I just auto give a racial power you use once that gives you the armor..... though there is NO difference. Also, Form powers are restricted for EVERYONE to level 30, not just Celestials.
Shaydow Posted January 1, 2013 Author Posted January 1, 2013 I have bad news all... I finally got Torchlight 2 as a late christmas present, so I may vanish for a few days ( OR MORE! ). Please don't hate me, I loved torchlight and the modding I could do to it, I've had torchlight 2 on my steam wishlist for a good while now.... Don't worry though, my wife is even now, as of earlier today, still working on making the forms / starting and crafted armors / naked bodies weight slider compatible. She still has a lot to learn / a ways to go, but it's being worked on! ~Shay
gokuzeny Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Been playing V5 a while now and suddenly I'm getting all black textures on my character. The head and hands are fine, its just the feet and body. I have tried everything I could think of including disabling every other mod that affects characters but it doesn't help. Other races textures works just fine and if i replace yours it works too, its just the V5 textures.

[/quote'] Did you patch at one time with Extended Colors, pick a skin color that was not one of the base ones, then go back to the default esp? If so this can happen. It is do to the new HD skin textures used in V5. If your past lvl 30 one way to fix it seems to be to use angel knight form and then revert form, since that is still using the old textures and not the newer HD ones for the body. You can also try repatching with extended colors.
Shaydow Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 How Do I set her scale again? player.setscale 1.2 is about arverage Nord female height.

It was working fine for a while then all of a sudden started doing that.
intuz keizaal Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 hey i had an idea for the celestial unleash power, similar to becoming a vampire lord or a were wolf, but you get the power through a quest ohh and v5 none of the powers work, but v4 works :\
