Bad Dog's Bird Races SE

[ahnkra]

Okay so I already posted on another thread that Im using this with YA and it runs just fine, but honestly I had to come here and say something about the bat! OMG Im in love, honestly!  I did play one of the ravens first, cause well I like Ravens a lot in real life, the legends and lore of em and all that. But IMHO their feathers (in this game, the mod that is) are just a wee bit too shiny.

Been having to start a lot of new games, trying to get everything I have to play nice with each other, deciding what works, what doesn't, want might can be fixed and whats not worth the trouble, so todays new game / char I decided to go with the Bat boi, and oh he is so cute!  I think ya got em just perfect!

Is it ok to use console to set players height to like .85 or so?  Im thinkin bats in general would be just a bit shorter and scrawnier than say the cats and dogs in the game.  Im just wondering for clipping and all that, I remembered not to set the weight to 0 during character creation as I read somewhere that can cause clipping issues too.

 

Anyways thanks again for another great mod, and an awesome update to it! You Rule Dude!

[Bad Dog]

Dunno why weight 0 would be a problem. Maybe with some armor? Dunno. 

 

If you post a screenshot of the ravens I'll have a look. I'm curious whether it's a matter of taste or your ENB or something else.

First time ive taken screen shots or posted them for Skyrim lol, then I had to go and delete them from steam, cause it was wanting to know if I wanted to post them! omg, im sure that would get me an insta ban.

 

Anyways I have no ENB installed, nor any mods specifically for lighting / effects (though that doesn't mean some mods might not add / do those things.)  As you say its almost certainly just my personal taste, but I think the excessive reflectiveness of the feathers makes them almost look like scales in some lighting.  I think Id like it with more of a soft sheen, as opposed to shiny if that make sense, more like silk, less like armor.

[Bad Dog]

Ya okay, that's the way it looks. I might play with it some but, ya, birds are shiny. If you find the *_s.dds files and make them darker you can make them less shiny.

can you please remove the requirement for Alternate Start from this mod?

[hammarbomber]

Semi-unrelated, but someone made a SFW version of this and put it up on Bethnet. Just wanted to let you know that that version crashes whenever I scroll past the remove wings potion.

[Bad Dog]

Huh, that's annoying. I leave my stuff open but having other people post it places with bugs doesn't make me happy.

 

Edit: Looks like I gave them permission. Heh, probably did.

[hammarbomber]

Willing to point out to them what happened that caused that bug? I've done it twice now, which is how I learned it was the wing removal potion. The wings are also stuck out at full extension. 

[Bad Dog]

I've no idea, and I don't use VR so I can't reproduce it. I haven't had any trouble with the potions. Wings getting stuck out just happens sometimes if you hit your head against something. It clears itself the next time you use them. 

[hammarbomber]

Xbox One, any form of script extender isn't available on console. Switching to 3rd person (which happens in most crafting stations) reveals the wings.

For Live Another Life on console, the bed isn't spawning. I have Skyrim Renewed installed, and the compatibility patch for this mod and LAL.

[hammarbomber]

Yeeeeeep. It was the compatibility patch. Porter removed the bed.

[Bad Dog]

How does the bed get removed. I can't even.

Like I said, I think the porter did a less-than-perfect job on the converting.

[Jacetherat1994]

Thanks a lot for creating such a beautiful mod, I love it!  Especially the bat looks damn cute/hot.   *-* 

 

Please keep up the great work!  

[hammarbomber]

Showed this mod to an acquaintance of mine, and he's not sure about it due to texture quality. That an engine limitation?

[jharise]

Did you combine the NPCs file with one of the others?

[Bad Dog]

Nope but it looks like I didn't upload it. Let me check that it doesn't need to be updated and I'll post it.

[megaplork]

Hmm I can't get Skyrim SE to boot up at all with this mod installed. I have real flying and animated dragon wings installed properly (and those work without this mod added).

Does anyone have a suggestion for this issue? I could post my load order if that is the problem. I'm getting no errors from LOOT or Wrye bash either.

EDIT: Nevermind; you can discard the issue. I fixed it by re-installing the Better Flying mod. I ran FNIS, LOOT and Wrye bash again and it just worked. Bat and bird races look mighty fine and the flying feels very natural. Thanks for all the amazing work

[ahnkra]

Hey Bad Dog sorry to bother again but im getting a warning about the hdtPhysicsExtension.dll from birdraces of skyrim schlongs not working correctly from vortex.  Also getting some other warnings about other mod added dll not working as well (trying to update the ones that I can and unistall deactivate those that still haven't updated.)  Anyways I updated to latest version of the mod and still getting the warning.  My game is crashy as fck atm, I did a complete removal of old version and installed the new so I don't think its left over files.  Anyways just a heads up and hope that its an easy fix, this is NOT a mod I want to retire from my game!

[Bad Dog]

Minor issue, delete all .dll files from the SE version of the mod. They implement HDT phyisics for the gryffon tail and don't belong there anyway.

[DJShamrock]

So are the Followers/Bird Tits integrated in this one or are those two files missing for SE?

[Bad Dog]

Tits are just textures, use the LE file.

 

Followers... I'll check.

Oh, I assumed textures needed to be converted for SE.

[Bad Dog]

Hot damn. Pretty sure I have to update this mod to use this flying mechanism: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/34571
