thanks for the new update, its playable even though theres some stage where i stuck
blzr_windhelm2 400 (when following the previous champ upstairs. she goes straight to bed)

and

blzr_windhelm2 530 (when back to windhelm dock, trio gladiot talk but stuck on certain dialog)

On BLZR_Windhelm2 stage 390, she should go upstairs and sit on the end of the bed. The related objective is "Follow Hela upstairs". Is that what you mean by "goes straight to bed"? When she gets to that spot, she hits a trigger box that advances the quest to 400. The related objective 400 is to "Speak with Hela". Are you saying the quest doesn't advance to 400 when she sits on the bed?

 

When you return to Windhelm, Liesl force greets you on stage 510, and then there is a scene with other pit fighters on stage 520. That scene ends with Edorfin asking for his share of the loot. Are you getting that force greet? Any choice in that dialogue sets the stage to 520 and then there should be final a Liesl force greet. [Looks at code...] There is a mistake here. Oddly, this always worked for me, but there's a bug in Liesl's final force greet package that would make this less reliable. I will fix in the next version. Thanks for pointing this out.

the game unequipped my collar when the jarl arrested my character, and it never auto re-equipped it, honestly thought it was intended for the quest in some way.

The script that's being used to strip the PC when arrested doesn't strip anything with a "SexLabNoStrip" keyword, and all three of Balazar's collars have this keyword. So, it should not have been stripped by the mod at that point.

Hi,

 

First I want to thank you for the great mod, it is awesome 👍.

 

I came across a bug in the game.  After fighting the wraiths, I get back in the Bloodworks training area and the quest arrow point to Edorfin, but he has no dialogue.  Only by moving the quest forward through the console was I able to get the objective to get some wine from the guard.

 

That's the point I am at now.  Thanks again for the mod, I'm looking forward to the quests in the other cities 😁.

You're welcome. Glad you like it. If you defeated the ice wraiths (after sex with the last one) and the quest marker is on Edorfin, that means you're at stage 260. Edorfin has a force greet package at that stage. It makes him wait by Liesl's practice dummy for the PC (and Liesl stops practicing during this stage so she doesn't hit him with her axe). When you get close to him, he should force greet you. Is he waiting in the right spot? If so, that means at least his force greet package is running.

does this new update need a new save or can it be updated mid save?

[Maidenslayer]

Fascinating storyline.  I've played through Balazar perhaps five times.  I'm doing so again to experience your latest 0.95 update.

 

I reported this same bug a year ago.

 

When talking to the Forsworn Warlord on the second level of Hag's Rock, the quest does not proceed after accepting the Briarheart Geis.  I'm thanked, but only responds "Need something?" 

 

I'm wearing the Forsworn disguise, but no one wants to converse with me.   Until I returned to Markarth, I had to setstage BLZR_Markarth 220, 240, 320, 340, 360, 370, 385, and 390.

 

I look forward to finishing 0.95 and hope you may be able to point out what I'm wearing or holding that prevented characters from talking to me.

I'm sure I've messed something up somewhere, but Balazar doesn't do anything during any of the animations that are supposed to involve him. Like he'll just be off to the side chilling,  while the other actor is acting like they should during said animation. Not sure what I did to make that happen. All other animations seem to work fine, it's just ones involving Balazar.

 

Edit: Okay, testing has shown this is an issue with armored huskies in general, so not exactly an issue with this mod. Would still love advice, but will look elsewhere.

 

Edit 2: Turns out it was an issue with Pandora. I still had an old version. Updating Pandora fixed it. Will lease this here just in case someone has the same issue and this ends up helping them.

[Enkidu222]

[Enkidu222]

Hi, I just download the latest of this mod. It appears to have problem on party in Thalmor embassy as Cowen just cannot follow my PC into the embassy.

Before you enter, open console, click on her, enter and type moveto player

He was there, but he did nothing even when I clicked on him, he had no dialogue.  I have finished the quest now, It is fun 👍.  Waiting eagerly for the next chapter 😁.  May I suggest Balazar changed her into a succubus or something... after all he might want to keep her beyond the normal year of her life.

Animation generated in FNIS/NEMEZIS/PAndora?
Animation registered in SL Animation Loader?
Is ‘Allow Creature’ selected in SexLab?

In pandora

Yes

Yes

Other creature animation seems to work but those from Billy and another don't, and events just constantly pick the one not working properly

After you give the warlord the axe and he thanks you (3 lines of dialogue), the shaman should say "First, we must see if Hircine accepts her. We shall start with a simple test." and then the next line asks you to have sex with a goat. Are you getting the dialogue from the shaman?

 

EDIT: I just went back and tested this segment of the quest, and it works fine on my set up. Is there a dragon flying around or some other enemy that might be distracting the NPCs?

 

ANOTHER EDIT: The goat sex is stage 220, so you can always use 'setstage BLZR_Markarth 220' to skip the shaman dialogue.

After you complete the pit quest line, what is supposed to happen? I completed the quest objective to say goodbye to the pit fighters and got my gear, I spoke to the pit announcer (Yuki?). the jarl engages me in conversation, but he only has his vanilla topics. That is it. The quest does not progress, Balazar is nowhere to be found and can not be summoned. I thought I messed up by taking the long way through the barracks to talk to Yuki, but when I retried from an earlier safe, the same thing happened when I took the shortcut to the spectator area.

There's another quest after this involving the pit fighters.

 

After the "Congratulations" conversation with Huki, the Jarl should force greet you. Sometimes these force greets are a bit delayed or an NPC is blocking the path. But if you tried to talk to him directly, you must have been close to him, so you should get the force greet. 

 

The Jarl's conversation ends with setting the stage to 680, so you can always use 'setstage BLZR_Windhelm 680' to bypass the Jarl conversation if nothing else works.

Note : Ocreature must be overwritten by MNC / Creature framework, it tend to cause the "idle" scene issue

So about the collar of vitality... Balazar won't swap it out for another collar until my thirst has been quenched, but quenching my thirst seems to be nearly impossible. My character is literally chain sucking every dick in sight and can't keep up. HP/stam always dips at least one stage before I can get it back to full. Been sucking dicks for like 10 minutes straight lmao.

 

Is this normal behavior or is something bugged on my end?

I saw one other person report this, but I've never seen it in testing and I looked at the code and don't see anything wrong. The relevant global variable is 'BLZR_CumStatus'. -5 is desperate for cum and +5 is full. Perhaps you can monitor this (getglobalvalue BLZR_CumStatus) and see what is going on. 

 

Or, you can use 'set BLZR_CumStatus to 0' to remove the collar.

 

Also, to detect a 'cum swallow" event, the code is looking for a Sexlab animation with 'blowjob' tag but no 'vaginal' or 'anal' tags. The logic being that if those tags exist, the cum probably didn't end up in the PC's mouth. The exception is a threesome (or more). Then, any animation with a 'blowjob' tag works.

[MrMagpie]

Finished the mod so far, missed this different collars thing?

 

Loved it, great to see some fun new mods when I once in a while need to revisit Skyrim. Great work, kudos and thanks!

[SharpenedRock]

Dont know if others have had this issue or not but when I go into the reeking cave and have sex with the troll the game goes to a black screen where I can only see the hud and the game freezes. I tried console killing the troll, leaving the cage, and go back to solitude to get my stuff but when i got forcegreeted by a guard it froze similarly when the sex scene started. 

[Jack005]

Soo I having issues with windhelm apart from the skeever part that is not working on my end because last time was the same skeever follow my char and people not reaction or reacting for a long distance from where I am (I must be doing someting wrong) Also I have https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/42990   So I have a compatibility issue with the cell, So is there a patch or I should unistall windhelm city or it best for me to uninstall balazar (wich is really a shame beacuse I have played the first parts before solitude convencing jarl update and is really crazy and different mod)
