Sorith Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 I noticed a bug that some gear removes your head from your body from right beneath your neck, quite a big space between the body and neck then (size of let's say a belt or so). Happens with Fur Armor that you only wear around your lower body (so bare upper body) and the fur armor that is pretty much like that but then has belts around your upper body (forgot it's name), the imperial armor does not have that problem and that is all I saw for now as I have not gotten other gear yet. Can this be because of another mod like Better males or should that not cause problems for or meddle with the Children of the Sky mod? (I hope it doesn't) Or is the problem known and will it be fixed with R3? This problem was on a male, as I play a male Sky child. Anyway, looking forward to R3 and lovely gear for males (hopefully with bare upper body and such, as revealing and nice as the gear like Zhaetheria and BSN Assassin as I mentioned in my earlier post). Do I need Dawnguard or Dragonborn for R3 by the way? I only have the main version of Skyrim (for now). I found a really nice voice mod that goes quite well with a male Sky child by the way so until you create the voice for the male child I am certainly happy I found this one I now use as it made your mod even better.
Yunalesca Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Wow lol, yeah i used the height adjuster, however i disabled the mod and now everything's normal! thanks for the tip Here's my little cutie by the way ^^ [spoiler=Cutie]
requiemfang Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 using Nouserheres Ears I see very nice, it's a shame Race Menu doesn't have ear sliders like ECE+CME I like my long pointy ears as well
Zexan Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 I'm trying to convert a follower from the Interesting NPCs mod (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/8429) to a Sky Child using the Creation kit. I've found that Selecting either OraezeRacex117 or the nord-monli race will cause the game to crash when It loads the character, so I've had to work around it by selecting regular nord race and using the import button to import a sky child look and then doing setrace OraezeRacex117 in game. When I do this, I get the darkhead bug, but if I save and restart the game, the darkhead is gone, however the lips do not move when the character is speaking and there's a slight space between the body and head. This only happens after I reload the game to get rid of the dark head. Anyone have any idea how to fix this and make the lips move again?
tshakudo Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Okay, I just have to say I'm in love with the fact that you made Tia's greatsword the Ceadeus model from Monster Hunter Tri. There are just so many great weapons from that series XD. Now if only there was a two handed axe made from the Lagiacrus switch axe
Yunalesca Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Does anyone know where all the music is from found in the option Music of the Sky? I heard from the demo that one was from Lineage II: and another from Howl's Moving Castle: however I'd like to know all of them No one? xD also found a song from Zanzarah - tiralin tavern song: (Farewell - World Music Atelier) Found 2 songs from Final Fantasy VII as well: and yay such a brilliant game
game Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Update please "Children of the Sky - Follower". They disappear in bed by 1\2. Make a beautiful face, no scars. ---------------------------- (Translation "Google translator")

I found a really nice voice mod that goes quite well with a male Sky child by the way so until you create the voice for the male child I am certainly happy I found this one I now use as it made your mod even better. Actually, this occurs due to the use of the armor mesh for the adult bodies rather than a mesh specifically designed for the Children of the Sky mesh. Thus, due to the size difference between the mesh for adults and the mesh for the children, there is a gap at the neck seam between the neck and the shoulders. If you look at the fur armor with the bit around the waist, you would notice the, if using the Better Males mod by either Sundracon or FavoredSoul you would see the distinctive ab shapes that the adult males have, in comparison to the very undefined flatness of the Children.
Sorith Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Thanks for the explanation Umbra , I already figured it was something like that and now I have it confirmed by you. I shall check for the abs too.
Guest Xxxxxxxx4688 Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 I remember seeing a version of XP32 Maximum Skeleton for CotS in the old thread. Does anyone still have it laying around?
Golgo13 Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Hi-- I'm trying the high elf idles, and I have one issue that I'd suggest be corrected, if possible. Could you please correct the Sneak movement height to match the Sneak idle height? I do a lot of sneaking around (my Stealth stat is at 100, and my next-highest stat is One-Handed at 51). Since trying the new idle, I find it annoying as Hell that I keep bobbing up and down between the lower, moving sneaking position, and the higher, idle sneaking position. When I'm trying to steal items from a shelf, it's almost like a Whack-A-Mole game (well, with me as the mole) trying to snag items, particularly since the it's a little awkward targeting the item I want in the first place (the height adjustment throws the aim off a bit-- I can compensate fairly easily, but the aim point changes constantly as I bob up and down as I sweep the shelf). I also do a lot of stalking with an arrow or spell at the ready, and when I pop up, it's very inconvenient. Anyway-- GREAT work... I'm SUPREMELY impressed. *If this issue is already fixed somewhere, I suppose that I just need to know where to find that. This is so well done, I wouldn't be surprised if I just screwed something up by installing something backwards. **WHOOPS-- I just tried playing this outdoors, and I KNOW that there's something wrong, since I couldn't play with this much camera bob without a bottle of Dramamine. Until I learn of a fix, I'll regrettably have to take this out.
jiitek Posted March 26, 2013 Author Posted March 26, 2013 I remember seeing a version of Maximum Skeleton for CotS in the old thread. Does anyone still have it laying around? The default one is an edited XP32 Skeleton Hi--*snip* **WHOOPS-- I just tried playing this outdoors, and I KNOW that there's something wrong, since I couldn't play with this much camera bob without a bottle of Dramamine. Until I learn of a fix, I'll regrettably have to take this out. You installed OPTION - Female Basic Animations Replacer right? there are two .hkx animation files in beginning with "sneak..." they are located here: data\meshes\actors\character\animations\ delete them or use any other female sneak replacer for now - this will be changed in R3. An uncomplete changelog for R3 is about 2 pages back - and sorry for the delay I´m doing more important changes
chan Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 There is a crawling mod, but I have not used it yet. Really... I didn't know that such a mod was around. I'll check it out if I can find it. Crawl on fours-33097-.zip
allerum Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 I would like to replace the male COTS voice since he sounds like a 30 year old. Or is there a plan in the works to change the voice?
requiemfang Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Read back I few pages I believe I saw something about it in the coming version 3 change log. I could be wrong though and that change log is only a WIP so things on it could change once jiitek releases v3
Sorith Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 I would like to replace the male COTS voice since he sounds like a 30 year old. Or is there a plan in the works to change the voice? Hello, Jiitek will be doing this for R3. However, until then you may like this mod for your male Sky child: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/17736 , it's Kunoichi and it is for female but I find it does really well for my male Sky child. Just patch in the Female player voice replacer option that came with Cots so you will have a sound folder in your Data, in there you will find a folder named skyrim.esm which has a femaleeventoned folder in there, just create a new folder next to that in skyrim.esm named maleeventoned and copy paste the voice files from Kunoichi in there, now your male child (to my opinion at least) has quite the nice voice for a male child only when you get hurt when hit your voice may sound a tiny bit too high but I don't find it bad at all on this either. I personally really like the voice.
jiitek Posted March 26, 2013 Author Posted March 26, 2013 Yes that voice is not bad at all - gonna pitch it down a bit... Ok this is OT but maybe someone knows this really strange issue - its like somehow the blades armor set has vanished from the game... ...its nowhere to be found; if I type help blades I see only blades shield - If I go to coc qasmoke its not in the armor chest - the cc with its ID 4B28B (which as I mentioned I cant find ingame) is not working...all I get is "added" instead of "blades armor added" ...an invisible (really invisible - not a missing mesh or such) item... Oo ...is (or has) anyone experiencing this - or has an idea about that?? ...did they patched out the blades set?^^
uguu123 Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 doesnt have such problems, but unnoficial skyrim patch fixing something in blades armor, maybe some conflicts here well i have last patched game, with all unnoficial patches and dlc and armor works fine
jiitek Posted March 26, 2013 Author Posted March 26, 2013 aw man - scratch that - issue sovled. Had started the game in a different language...
umbratotalus Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Hi Jitek, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind giving a comprehensive list of what is actually going into the R3 for the boys? It [the update log] says female this, and female that. A couple times it mentions things about males (like the wetness thing), but nothing overly comprehensive or detailed.
RockMic Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 I would try companions (BETA), but sold Alexina blades. Or, since the files are separate, but I do not know what name.

summerwolf Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Hello, first of all, thank you for all the awesome work. Second, I've got two small suggestions for your consideration (apologies if any of this has been brought up before). 1) Changing the race name to "Sky Child" (singular). It makes sense that a race as a collective should be called Children, but in the actual game the string is usually used singularly (referring to the player character). I think Sky Child would look better in the skills menu or in the save data than Sky Children. 2) Are all the color presets really necessary? Sure it's nice to have a lot of choice during character creation, but it seems like there's literally around a hundred of colors to choose from and many of them look similar. I've noticed that ever since I switched to R2, TES5Edit has been taking considerably longer to launch; YChildren of the Sky.esp takes more than a minute to load compared to less than a second on most other plugins, and it takes a while to view the OraezeRaceX117 form as well.
