Legacy of the Dragonborn & Immersive College of Winterhold

[bleeargh]

This request is regarding Skyrim LE.

One of my favorite mods in my load order is Legacy of the Dragonborn, however the Legacy mod team has stopped all updates on the LE version quite a while ago.  Another one of my favorite mods in my load order is the Immersive College Of Winterhold. Which brings me to my lament. The LE version of the LotDB mod stopped supporting the ICOW mod at ICOW's v4.1. ICOW now is at version 6.1 and the LotDB now longer works with it. I've PM'd Grantyboy050 the author of ICOW to see if he could fix this problem. He said he could not, but directed me to a modder called Amicoletto. Amico said they had a fix but couldn't get dropbox to work. However they gave me the following instructions on how to get LotDB to work with the latest ICOW. See below.

 

Hello, I had other people asking me the patch but for some reason I can't get the dropobox link to work... I'm sorry... the best I can do as of now is giving you the instructions to make the patch yourself; it's easy, really! Essentially it's just a copy and paste.

1) download and install two free programs: a text editor, Notepad++, and BSA Browser, a BSA archive manager.

2) Open Notepad++ and follow these instructions: https://www.creation...a_quick_compile until step 5/6. Close Notepad++.

3) With BSA Browser, find and open the BSA archive of Legacy, it should be located in Legacy's folder.

4) In the list of files that BSA Browser will show you, find the following file: a source file named dbm__qf__057281a3.psc (with 4 underscores). It's located in Scripts\Source . You'll have to scroll a bit. Once you have found it, extract it on the Desktop.

5) On the Desktop you now have a folder named "scripts", open it and you'll find another folder named "source". In this folder you have the file you just extracted.

6) Open the file with Notepad++, scroll down and you'll find lines that look like this:

 

StaffOfWorms = Game.GetFormFromFile(0x49A45D, "CollegeOfWinterholdImmersive.esp")

AevarMace = Game.GetFormFromFile(0x73C736, "LegacyoftheDragonborn.esp")

Doll1 = Game.GetFormFromFile(0x49A459, "CollegeOfWinterholdImmersive.esp")

Doll2 = Game.GetFormFromFile(0x49A45A, "CollegeOfWinterholdImmersive.esp")

ToyDragon = Game.GetFormFromFile(0x49A457, "CollegeOfWinterholdImmersive.esp")

Beaker = Game.GetFormFromFile(0x2FB113, "CollegeOfWinterholdImmersive.esp")

Urn1 = Game.GetFormFromFile(0x2FB114, "CollegeOfWinterholdImmersive.esp")

Urn2 = Game.GetFormFromFile(0x2FB115, "CollegeOfWinterholdImmersive.esp")

Glass = Game.GetFormFromFile(0x2FB116, "CollegeOfWinterholdImmersive.esp")

Kettle = Game.GetFormFromFile(0x2FB117, "CollegeOfWinterholdImmersive.esp")

Teacup = Game.GetFormFromFile(0x2FB118, "CollegeOfWinterholdImmersive.esp")

TeaPot = Game.GetFormFromFile(0x2FB119, "CollegeOfWinterholdImmersive.esp")

Waterpipe1 = Game.GetFormFromFile(0x2FB11A, "CollegeOfWinterholdImmersive.esp")

Waterpipe2 = Game.GetFormFromFile(0x2FB11B, "CollegeOfWinterholdImmersive.esp")

 

Replace the original lines with these lines I just wrote. Save.

 

7 ) Copy the file you just edited into [Folder where you installed SKyrim]\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\Data\Scripts\source\

8 ) Open the file and click on the function "compile Papyrus" that you created at step 2.

9 ) FOllow the instructions on the black window. If you have problems, re-install SKSE and repeat.

10) Now go in [Folder where you installed SKyrim]\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\Data\Scripts\ and find the script named  dbm__qf__057281a3.pex  . Transfer this script into the folder "scripts" you have on the Desktop.

11) Create a new folder called however you want (MyPatch), then drag and drop the folder "scripts" in it.

12) Drag and drop the folder "MyPatch" onto your list of mods.

13) Tick "MyPatch" in your Mod Manager.

 

And that's it. Patch created.

 

FINAL NOTE: If you ever find the Mace of Aevar Stone Singer and you want to display it, make sure that the "College of Winterhold display" in the Legacy MCM is checked.

 

While Amicoletto has said that this is easy, I simply can't get the compiler to work.  So I'm throwing this out to the community to see if they will have better luck/ knowledge on how to do this. Otherwise, I have another request. If anyone simply still has the old ICOW v4.1 could you share it with me? That would be the simplest fix.

Anyone?

After many tutorials and much trial & error, I figured out how to compile the afor mentioned fix by Amicoletto.  The item and trophies found in the ICOW v6.1 mod now can be displayed in the LotDB LE version of the Dragonborn Hall, but it's still not entirely right. See the two links below. The top pic is what the compiled script fix does while the bottom pic is what it was supposed to look like when using ICOW v4.1.  Amicoletto's fix allows you to place the items you find in the spots available, but doesn't change the alcove with the dragon skull into the "finished quest" version that the lower picture shows. I'm just stoked to get it this far! ?

 

I've attached the script fix for anyone who's interested. It works for me, but being a huge newbie at script changes and compiling, I cant guarantee it will work on your end.

 

Also, my request still stands if anyone still has the ICOW v4.1 out there. It would be awesome if you have it to share it.  ?
