heybeterino Posted September 20, 2022 Author Posted September 20, 2022 Ill give Grey clouds solution a try in the weekend as ill have to reinstall the game (wont launch anymore lmao), and here i thought LE was gonna be easier than the struggle i had in getting SE to work (I couldnt get it to work mostly because bethesda will keep updating the game and mods wont catch up)
Roggvir Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, Grey Cloud said: Why? That hasn't nothing to do with anything. Ahh, yes, a warning about a possible pirated copy, which may as well mean that the path in registry is wrong or missing for any number of reasons, resulting in FNIS possbily having problem finding some files... But i guess you KNOW that it has nothing to do with the problem, so we can just ignore it, well ok then, i'll just shut up and go stand over there in the corner. Edited September 20, 2022 by Roggvir
threp Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) Just the bottom 6 mods plus the FNIS ones give you well over 4000 animations. The limit is 10,000 without an addon tool or two - no idea what they are for LE, but they exist for SE, so I assume they exist for your setup too. You're drowning the poor thing - take out some of the animations you can do without, one at a time, until FNIS actually works. Or find the tool you need - FNIS tells you what they are in SE, but LE I've never run. And you can safely ignore the bollocks stuff about paths in registry - the mod manager handles all that in the VFS, so if FNIS is running via the mod manager it can see everything it needs to see. *Someone who gets that message every single time because they didn't buy the bloody game through Steam, they have an actual legal physical install disc.

That is very interesting, because Skyrim SE is a Steam game, it was never sold as an "actual legal physical install disc" that wouldn't need Steam.

The OP is running LE and that is what @threp is saying and he is correct about the physical disc. Threp is running SE and has never run LE.

That depends on which mod manager you use. I assume you are using MO or MO2. Vortex uses hardlinks so you are talking nonsense about VFS. The 'path in the registry' is merely the path to wherever FNIS is, correctly or incorrectly, installed. If FNIS is not installed in the correct location it would throw up an error saying it could not find the path. It would not throw up an error saying too many animations. 5 hours ago, heybeterino said: and here i thought LE was gonna be easier than the struggle i had in getting SE to work For LE https://www.loverslab.com/blogs/entry/7521-conglomerate-01-installing-skyrim-stability-fixes-tools/ https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/SkyrimLE:3.0.0 There's guides over in the SE section and also advice on how to stop the updates if you prefer to go with SE.
Roggvir Posted September 21, 2022 Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, Grey Cloud said: The OP is running LE Aaah, of course, my bad, we are indeed in LE space. I'll try bumping my reading skills as you suggest. Still, a warning about something potentially wrong about the game installation itself, should be addressed BEFORE trying to fix mods installed on top of that. Unless that warning is really normal on LE - i don't recall ever seeing that on LE, but that was long time ago, probably with older version of FNIS, so i could be wrong about that. 1 hour ago, Grey Cloud said: That depends on which mod manager you use. I assume you are using MO or MO2. Vortex uses hardlinks so you are talking nonsense about VFS. I am using my own mod manager, and i know basicaly nothing about these MOs and Vortexes, but you missed the point, which is: If FNIS is getting the game path it uses for any of its file operations from the registry, then you may want to make sure that path in the registry is correct. Whether you are running FNIS through your mod manager, and whether your mod manager is using VFS or hardlinks or whatever, makes no difference, if a problem is caused because FNIS read in the registry that your game is installed in "X:\wherever\Skyrim" and that path actually doesn't exist (inside the VFS, or as a hardlink, or as a real path). And if FNIS complains about "not run from a legal (Steam) Skyrim installation directory", then that suggests the required registry information is missing or contains incorrect path. And i haven't seen FNIS source code, so i can't say what exactly it does in this situation, so it seems logical to fix this problem first, before trying to fix another problem down the line. Additionally, FNIS may not be the only SW using the registry information, in which case other things can be broken, things the user doesn't even know about yet. Edited September 21, 2022 by Roggvir

There is absolutely no need to see the source code - the error message clearly states 'too many animations'. FNIS users make the same mistakes and cause the same errors which in turn produce the same error messages. You are also failing to differentiate between a warning and an error message. Warnings can often be ignored, it's not recommended but nevertheless true. Errors should always be addressed especially one which clearly tells you the problem. 10 hours ago, Roggvir said: Additionally, FNIS may not be the only SW using the registry information, And it might rain on Thursday. You are grasping at straws. Some unknown software may or may not be using the unspecified FNIS registry information and this may or may not cause problems sometime in the future.

So in this case, when Zaz is to be added, it stops. I understand that well enough. The point I was making is that the only major difference between the two outputs was the FunnyBiz pack so therefore that pack would have to make up the difference between my 17.5k animations and the 32k limit, i.e. approx 12.5k animations. If we are talking about only character animations then my total is only 11.5k. It was only ever character animations which caused the animation limit crashes according to the author of Animation Limit Crash Fix and Fore and that limit was memory related not FNIS related. The only other FNIS output I have is from 2019. It does have FunnyBiz's pack but only weighs in at around 8.7k character animations. Installing FNIS PCEA2 Reading Babo Creature V1.0 ...

The path in the registry we are talking about, is where the GAME is installed. FNIS just happens to be installed in the same path, but if FNIS compains about this, then that is something to fix. You seem to view this as some strange alien concept, but really, when a SW complains about something, it is usually a good idea to fix it. And whether it has anything to do with VFS depends on whether you are using VFS and whether that path exists on the VFS (or not) and whether it should exists there or not - simply put, it depends on how you set up your environment and whether that path exists in that environment. 8 hours ago, Grey Cloud said: 16 hours ago, Roggvir said: And i haven't seen FNIS source code, so i can't say what exactly it does in this situation, so it seems logical to fix this problem first, before trying to fix another problem down the line.

Warnings can often be ignored, it's not recommended but nevertheless true. Errors should always be addressed especially one which clearly tells you the problem. I am talking about the fucking WARNING on the first fucking line! Are you pretending to be an idiot on purpose? FNIS warns you about a possible problem. Whether that really is a problem, i cannot tell, without knowing what that means for FNIS, which i can hardly know without knowing how FNIS exactly works, which i can hardly know unless i can see the source code, or unless i am the person who wrote it, which i am not (and neither are you). Now i assume, if the person who wrote the SW deemed it important enough to display that WARNING, then it probably should be addressed. Here is some new for you: Warnings can, and often do, lead to Errors. The logical and objectively best approach is to fix whatever comes first, especially if you do not know the innerworkings of the SW (which neither of us here do). In this case a warning comes first, and you do not know if whatever triggers that warning can be also causing errors somewhere down the line - be it (yes, unlikely) the error described by the one and only error message you see, or any other errors you may not even know about. 8 hours ago, Grey Cloud said: 16 hours ago, Roggvir said: And if FNIS complains about "not run from a legal (Steam) Skyrim installation directory", then that suggests the required registry information is missing or contains incorrect path.

I played Skyrim for 5 years with that message. I didn't change it because I didn't need to. How do you KNOW? Where does the author of FNIS say the message can be ignored? If that wasn't causing you issues in your setup, doesn't mean it cannot cause issues on somebody elses. Only the author of FNIS could tell us, whether we can always ignore the warning, and until that happens, i do not think it shouldn't be ignored. If you want a working system, you don't cherry pick the problems to fix, you fix all the problems you know about.
t.ara Posted September 21, 2022 Posted September 21, 2022 omg-what you are doing here?... Upstairs is one waiting for a solution: it has been said but it suddenly got wasted in the ocean of extraordinary conversation.... Switch please some few animation-mods off-no need to deinstall something, run FNIS and check if you successful can let run it. Then go into the game and look what is happening there. If that works you can try to exchange FNIS with a version, which allows to generate more idles into your game. And if that ´s not working, you have to look and find out if your mod-list of animation-related mods is suiting to it´s behavior-files. That message of FNIS is also happening, if the game is working apart from the steam-folder or if you copy your game and put it somewhere else. If you want to get rid of that message, you have to let steam again get control onto your game for an integ.-check of the game-files. Has been a little too much precision-work of FORE. After that is done you can again play with the game in offline-mode. You can at first check your configuration with ZAP 7 for a first check. It ´s more easy to install. But always check your files if the mod manager has deinstalled what you wanted to drop with it-a manual check is a good choice. 2
