Shaydows VampireLord OVERHAUL

[tasukete]

Hey guys,

 

Trying to customize this great mod I ran into some problems; I want to replace the VL boots with something that works with the HDT high heel system. You can't just set the height in the MCM menu because you've got no boots equipped as far as Skyrim is concerned. I therefore fired up the CK with Shaydow's overhaul and HDT high heel system and tried some things, all of which failed.

 

Things I've tried:

- Adding the hdtHighHeelShoes script to the DLC1SkinNakedVampireLord armor (This is where it points to the components in the Replacer folder)

- Adding the HighheelEventTrigger to DLC1nVampireLordEnhancements in the DLC1VampireBeastRace race.

- Adding a standalone spell to the DLC1VampireBestRace race that points to the HighheelEventTrigger (pretty similar to the previous try)

 

Anyone got any more ideas? My tries didn't bring ctds, but no effect whatsoever.

[Chaas Paike]

is there any way this mod affect the NPC?

 

Use AFT, but to transform the vampire lords, only the head is.

 

Thanks for the mod, is fantastic.

 

Sorry for my english, but is very basic.

[Tecnomago]

Please!!!!
what is this mod???
i need very very!!

Any ideas of how to split vampire lord animations by gender?

I converted *.hkx files manually and changed path to skeletons/animations in them. After that I changed behavior graph of female DLC1VampireBeastRace. Animation works in game, but without "events" (for example, after transormation female vampire lord only levitate and all, nothing happens after clicking a button). I added manually edited copy of vampirelordfemale behavior in idle window, but "events" still not work.

[xarathos]

Alright, messing about with the files for this and comparing the contents with Mighty Beasts, I think I figured out how to get the vampire lord to have weightslider enabled - just turning it on and changing the target meshes to a _1 mesh should do the trick, but I'll know for sure when I test it in game.

 

Harkon is still a bit of a sticking point for me though. :/ This is such a freaking great idea I just

 

I'm gonna futz with things for awhile just to see how it works out. I would reaaaaaaaaally love to be able to make this a core part of my game but I need it to not make things awkward with Harkon when I do

 

EDIT: Worked like a charm, mostly. Used my actual body meshes for the Base Body and the test character's shape didn't change at all! Gonna keep testing.

[LeoSky]

Hy guys came here to thank the mod creator, i was avoiding the Vampire Lord form because of how ugly it was, and even the mods that kept the base char were awkward to look at because of the dumb arms posture and the creepy staredown necklock.

This mod does an amazing job at replacing pretty much all the flaws, kudos to you Shaydows!

 

However, i added a couple extra layer to your work to make it suitable to my tastes and wanted to show it to you guys:

-Added Black Animated Dragon Wings(if i had time i probably could tone down the light reflection but w/e)

-Porcelain Vampire Skin and a deserter X outfit

 

I noticed in the above photo that a strange bug was stretching my face making it fattier, so i decided to make my racial traits(High Helf) override the DLC1VampireLordRace trough the CK

Final Result:

[bobuko]

First off- great mod!  

 I'm having a small issue here where i have no sound fx with melee attacks while transformed into VL.   If i use blood magic i get casting and impact sounds, and when a melee hit lands on a target it makes a sound, but no player voice for swinging my arms.  Not sure if this is intended?

 

I'm using Ningheim race, and ive changed the chest armor, the face to match my race and added my own running and idle animations.  I use the no wings esp.  No edits in CK.  Tried with the default mod too( no changes) and still no player voice or swing sound.  if I uninstall the vanilla VL has the fx.  

 

I did install this on a game right before starting the dawnguard quest line, so its not on a new game.  really just wondering if anyone else has this before i pour time into trying to find a fix.

thanks again for this fantastic mod!

Whenenver I transform into VL my game crashes... nice. =D

I'm... sorry? If you look through this thread you can clearly see people without any issue at all, even follwing the advanced instructions to change anything about the VL they wanted. SOOOOOOOO.... I wonder who's fault its not working for you might be?

 

Yes, I've gotten much more cynical.

 

P.S Edit : anyone not complaining it doesn't work and has been tracking this mod, I have in fact been working on a newer version of it. It will still take me some time to flesh out what I want to do, but needless to say, I think it is pretty awesome. Don't hold this post against me however.

You must be new to mods, my tip for a future reference is if your the only one having that issue then maybe it was not installed correctly or it may not be compatible with another mod you may be using, but just saying your game crashes helps no one including you to get your issue resolved without providing more information and being a bit more open minded.

 

And if you just want to blame mods for your problems then maybe you should not be playing a modded game and go all Vanilla and just forget about mods, but with the right attitude and providing more information then the mod crashes my game i'm sure someone here can help you resolve that issue for what ever reason it maybe happening.

 

But the mod is working perfectly fine in my game and after using it i would not want to play the vampire faction without it.

great news shaydow, I always look forward to new content from you, you always do great work and are one of my favorite mod authors.

P.S. the mod also works perfectly in my game as well so I advise you to heed the posts above.

[crusher]

Thanks for the great mod. Been looking high and low for a revamp for the VampLord, that does just what you have done -- awesome sauce. Will try a bit of customizing. Has anyone tried to integrate Animated Dragon Wings yet?

 

edit, just skimmed thread -dragon wings- yep: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[georgewu]

tried to combine your mod with muscular woman and ronzo in skyrim. unfortunately having problem with neck gap and having texture seam at hand feet and head too. . but thanks for the great mod you made.

[Nicholesta]

Love what this mod does but it seems to have a problem with Dynamic Vampire Appearance at least I am guessing that my problem is that.  What I get is the face is messed up.  Particularly the mouth.  I am not a modder and my skills with tweaking mods are pretty novice.  Any suggestions?

[gokuzeny]

I am not that familiar with dynamic vampire appearance and am no mod author myself but i do have several years of modding skyrim under my belt and i looked at the mod page, and from what i read there's a good possibility they are incompatible because of the way DVA changes your appearance. I am not 100% sure on this however. I would suggest trying shaydows vampire lord without DVA and see if it still messes up.

[Nicholesta]

I did that though what I am trying to accomplish is have my cake and eat it too so to speak.  Shaydow made his mod to be very customizable and he offers an easy method of putting your own texture files in place to have the vampire lord you want.  I am looking for advise on whether replacing face textures will fix the problem or if it is something that just won't work.  At any rate I run The Mod Organizer.  My first test was to disable DVA in SkyUI since it has a menu.  No effect.  Next I disabled it and envision face and other customizations to the face in Mod organizer.  No effect.  I am going to post a screen shot of the issue.  If it will help I can post my load order when I figure out how to extract a list from Mod Organizer.

Wow that's a new one i never seen before are you using a custom race mod? knowing the answer would help a lot to help narrow this down.

 

Edited after reading back i notice your using Dynamic Vampire Appearance and no that's not going to work and disabling the mod dose not remove it from your game so that's something your going to have to decide between the two mods to the one you prefer most, just from looking at the files of the Dynamic Vampire Appearance mod even if it is possible to fix the conflict it would have to be done in the CK and its a maybe, maybe not possibility.

 

 

I'm using Beautiful Vampires V2 with this mod and they play nice together if you just want better looking vampires that maybe an option for you.

[Nicholesta]

Ok thanks.  I will check out that mod.  I like the concept of DVA but, you guessed it, mostly I will be happy with vampires that don't look monstrous.  Thanks.

 

Added:  No custom race.  Using UNPB Redeux, Envision faces, Ran's headmesh, True eyes, True brows and Apachii Hairs

Hi -- I was wondering if you will be releasing a version of this mod that works for males?  I know you have stated that it currently only works for females.  I am trying to use the character model from http://www.thepcmasterrace.com/alucard-follower/and making that the model that replaces the PC transformation and animations.

 

I've been really struggling and have tried a whole bunch of different mods and replacing meshes and textures, but have had no success.  Tried to go into CK, but also don't have any experience, so also wasn't able to affect any change.  Any advice for someone who doesn't have any experience tweaking mods and how I might even attempt this?  Not sure where else to go for help so hoping that you can.  Thank you so much.

Hi buddy. Let me explain what needs to be done in order for this to be used for male instead of female :

 

 

The Skeleton needs to be replaced. This includes behavior files.

 

All the animations that are feminine need to be replaced ( or any you do not like when males use / want different )

 

All the armor / body .nifs need to be replaced.

 

 

Uhhhh, am I missing something? I probably am.

 

My best advice is look at FILE STRUCTURE in my mod. Look at everything my mod has in it and learn what it does. Once you do you will know how to replace / change what is needed. You basically need to rebuild my entire mod, and since I ONLY play female characters, you can see why I didn't want to do it twice.

 

GL.

 

*EDIT* Just an edit, once someone DOES rebuild the whole thing, if they leave the file structure the way it is, it would be just as easy for male characters then to use it and replace what they want. Go ahead and give me a thanks or even a based on in credits, but release it if you like as your own. It's gonna take some work and by then you would earn that right. Plus you need to know a bit of stuff about modding to get it to work, however this mod does NOT need any scripting knowledge. Again, Good Luck!

[HiryuX]

Hey Shaydow, inspired by your advice, I actually looked around and tinkered with CK, enough to be able to get it working!  I've now successfully replaced the mesh so that the VL transform becomes Alucard!  Took me a while to figure everything out though.

 

Thanks so much!  Not sure I am able to rebuild an entire mod, even with your awesome mod as a reference.

 

Now on to the next thing -- how do I affect the VL menu so that weapons show up?  As an example, is there any way to just insert a specific sword so that it shows up on the VL menu (currently it has very few options, just Revert, and some VL powers).  In CK, I've enabled combat and all the commensurate animations as well as using a default skeleton, so my VL doesn't float but acts just like a normal PC.  

 

Any advice on equippable weapons for VL form?  Where would I look for that -- I don't think it's an option in Race, is it?

Is this limited by a script? (Shudder, that's a whole can of worms I don't want to open)

 

Thanks again!

[rpgplayer4life]

I am in need of a little help please.

 

I am trying to use the -   topic 9251 custom vampire lord    - male support version

 

Using the mslVLKerriganWings and  Animated Dragon Wings by Anton -  topic 21384 shaydows vampirelord overhaul v2 page 8

 

The problem I have is removing the old wings. I can get the new wings to appear and function no problem.

 

Just a quick and brief explanation of which files to remove/replace would be fantastic.

 

Thanks much for the help!

[Psych0Monk3y]

I've done a fresh install of the mod for testing before editing, but when I transform my character has no head, hands or feet. Additionally, the butt and breasts stretch while hovering.

 

I'm using the UNPB body and HDT 14.28. I'm playing as a Nord, but I'm using Requiem so I'm not sure if that matters.

 

EDIT: Nevermind. I placed the .esp file near the bottom of my load order and that fixed it.

[zodsworld]

Just wanted to say awesome job on the Mod looks and works great. I'm running with allot of good mods but this one motivated me to have to make a first post for me on here. Keep up the awesome work

[zilverin]

Love the looks of this mod, but as soon as i transform into vamp lord, after getting harkons gift, all the other vamps get hostile and when i'm in human form they just see me as a mortal so i cant continue the quest line.
solution?
