Dark Arena

[Spectre5342]

I have an issue where you're supposed to lose the fight in the arena but my opponent runs in fear so there's no possible way to lose. Is there some sort of surrender key or way to fix this?

Nope, you need to be beaten.

Your opponent is running from you ? I never faved that... but I'm level 1... what is your character ?

lol 62 they're powerful but I stick to only melee since if I used magic it wouldn't even be a contest. Of course with the mods I use enemies are just as powerful or more than me thats how I ended up in Dark Arena via simple slavery. It seems to be Hrokie everyone else will fight so my solution is just to load back to change opponents.

The next update will automaticaly lock the arena door just after Irellen finish her speech. It should solve your problem.

It will also change the inn music.

 

I didn't found a good solution to avoid the spectators running around like chicken... if somebody have an idea. I wish to finish Dark Arena and go back to another mod.

Just to hear an update is coming is nice too many mods I know of have ceased support some time ago. Shout out to the author for making a great mod!

[Delzaron]

I'll make an update soon, this evening or night I hope.

I made some changes with some lights (the room with the wood planks), set the arena doors close and locked during the fight, and try to make the spectators a little more brave. I removed also the dependencies to dawnguard and dragonbirn (originally, these dependencies were not in the mod).

Some fixes in the bed list for the actor events.

Also, the back of the cards from skycasino for the blackjack stuff. I also changed a little the blackjack script with Cariel.

 

I don't solve all the problems... and I'm facing my limits. It's why, if somebody is interested to work on the mod, I'll gladly authorize it.

[Iceslave]

You do great work Delzaron, keep at it ? I've enjoyed playing through the mod (via the CK tweak to make it go on SSE)

I think i use Zaz Animation Pack CBBE V.8.0.[2017.11.19]

 

 

 

I don't know why the dancer outfit causes that problem.... i never faced it.

The ressource mod is Neo Slave Leia Renewal CBBE Fixed-60264-1-00

so i legit have no idea how to skip the quest and cant see the poles

[mogon]

i made a quick test with the new version on a clean safe.

 

The lights are better.

 

Im sorry to have to say that the new Blackjack-game is a mess. Yes, im able to take more than one card, but...

Got 15, draw a card, now count is 14 (??) 

Got 21, decide take no card, but get one and lose.

Got 18, don't take a card, get one, new cont is 23 and i won... Or get 11, draw a card, new count is 0...  and so on.

 

The special room for dancing and whoring jobs has no pole or dancing spots.

 

I hope, You can fix this. Again thanks for your work. i really love this mod.

edit : tryoing to repair the dance stuff... i'll see the result...

[Delzaron]

I can't post the new version... the upload fail everytime I try...

[mogon]

Quick test on a clean safe: Blackjack is working fine now. Main Quest is working. Dancing Job is working good.

 

So far i faced two minor problems: Alarvyne didnt like to go to the special room. I moved her with a mod (Are You there). And, very minor, the wheel of the lottery is gone, but this is only cosmetic.

 

Thanks for Your hard work Delz!

So, for some reason I'm getting severe performance issues, whenever I enter the Dark Arena.

 

I do have 250~esps, however I get 60-140fps in most other places, maybe 40-50 in super crowded areas. When I enter DA it dips to 20FPS, then slowly gets worse and eventually crashes.

Wondering what the cause could be? HDT, or some body issue perhaps?

The lights, the bodies, the dancer outfit... maybe the dices or the cards.

Try to supress these items in CK, and play again: check the eventual performance gain.

When i try to enter the Dark Arena my game just closes. Is it a known Problem ? Can someone tell me what to do ?

Sounds like the dress problem. Try to remove it from the dancers in CK (just delete or replace the dress by something else, like wench outfit), and reload. See if it make a change.

[NexusRefugee]

So this safe to just yolo run through asset optimizer / convert to SE or does it require some wizardry I noticed the SE version not updated for sometime.

I checked the version you just uploaded, there are a few other property problems, not sure if they are breaking or not:

 

1. The aDA_Main quest has a property called zbfFactionSlave that can't be resolved (not sure why since you have Zaz as a master file)

2. There are several infos with a faction condition set to NULL, not sure if those are in use are not.

3. SKCDiceGame2Roll and SKCxBartenderFood and SKCDiceGameStart dialog views don't have any quest attached, which is reported as an error by TES5Edit but I dunno what the implication of this is.

Okay so I play the SE version, but I'm not sure if this is a 'SE' problem or 'mod quest design' problem.

I'm not sure how the storyline of the quesets is supposed to go.

Right now I'm sent by the arena boss to do blackjack, which I did won... and then nothing happened? No new quest stage pops up. The 'An Hidden Inn...' quest is still 'Get detail from Raelag' stage. I tried manually setting the stage in console but nothing happens. (Quest ID : aDA0_start, unless that's not the quest id then pls tell me).

What is supposed to happen? Was I not supposed to win (by story)? In an alternate save I lost and was sent to integrated mods (Skooma/Slavery etc) so essentially I'm kicked out of the storyline. Is the only way to progress, by design, is to lose the blackjack and get the 'pitgirl' outcome?

Also, again don't know if by design or not but back when I talked to Raelag he gave two choices: blackjack or 'distract' client, and I could only choose blackjack?

P.S. if any other SE players have succesfully converted the new versions themselves please do share the link. Doesn't seem like NomKaz is coming back to this mod. Thanks.

[Iceslave]

I think this is what Delzaron fixed in the LE version, with handling the transitions between those quest stages. I managed to play the later LE version through on SE, there's a means of converting the mod via Creation Kit : Open mod, ignore all the errors, change something, change it back, save mod, try in SE.

 

The "something" I change is a Fish Barrel container. It's to trigger the "something's changed" flag which lets you change and convert the mod.

Is that a reply to me?

If so, I would be really glad if you could just share the file? I have absolutely no experience porting a LE mods to SE, and I can't seem to open the mod in CK for some reason. At least is there a useful video/tutorial on this?

Thanks.

EDIT: Nevermind, got it working now. I don't know how to package the port for sharing tho so I guess it's actually easier to do it on your own.

FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO TRY PORTING YOURSELVES:

-Create a new mod profile so that the old setup still serves as a backup
-Get Creation Kit from Bethesda
-*** Get Creation Kit Fixes (read the page, too. There are settings you need to change.) ***

-Run CK from game folder
-Load mod up, double click an object id to cahnge name, ok, then again to change it back to original name. I changed the fish barrel as Iceslave suggested.This makes CK think that the mod is now edited for SE. Therefore it is now compatible.

-You can now save and exit CK.
-Check with LOOT. It shouldn't have 'made for oldrim' warning anymore.
 

no need for a new save. I even loaded up from the old SE version where I was literrally in the arena, and still doesn't crash, lol. The arena should also look a bit darker and more contrasted compared to the old ver (1.2+), because OP said lighting was adjusted in the new version. So that also proves it, I guess.

Cheers.
