[WIP] Skykids - Child races & other technical goodies - No more armor patcher! New CotS R2 Race!(6/22/15)

[MidbossVyers]

Unless I'm mistaken, this is Johann's updated mod: https://mega.co.nz/#!ZcQyQAxY!8OPB2xC3g08MG2LVR9Q5Qqx5BQPwwf3Np7u5k1dN1O8(unless someone has an even newer one).  Does anything seem to be missing?  Also, as you can see, the problem is not black faces but white.

[johann7124]

That is not the most recent.

[MidbossVyers]

Well, the glitch still occurs even in the most recent version.  In fact, it might be better if the face for the hostile NPCs was the default for any given race, rather than a generated one (given that the default faces look OK).

For some reason now when I go to run the Skyproc Patcher through MO, MO fails to launch the patcher. It worked the first time I ran it. Any reason it would just stop working?

Not to my knowledge, though I don't use MO.

I've managed to get MO to launch the patcher by changing the location of the Skyproc Patcher, and setting the new location in MO. 

 

So now Skyproc Patcher is launching from MO, but it is telling me that I need to install and activate Skykids.esm, but the thing is, I can see clearly that it is installed and activated. I've tried changing my load orders around, but to no avail. 

[ChipyChops]

More than likely the patcher needs to be in the correct directory, so it can find the files.

[johann7124]

Make certain that the patcher is located in the Skykids folder, then make certain that MO is linking to that location.

[Senqrath]

Sorry, if this has been asked before, but can I simply use this as an NPC children overhaul? I'm not so much interested in playing as a kid.

[johann7124]

Yes you can.

[Senqrath]

Yes you can.

Thanks!

Do I still need to run the armor patcher though? It takes like 20 minutes. Even longer than Patchus Maximus.

[johann7124]

For now yes, en_hawk currently a new way to do the patching in alpha testing.

Rerun the patcher with the 'force patch' checkbox checked, but first go into the 'other settings' window and check 'enable debug logging'. Once that's done, post and attach the files '=--Debug Overview--=.txt' and 'trace.log'(you may need to rename this one to '.txt' to get it to upload) which can be found here 'Skyrim\Data\SkyProc Patchers\SKArmorPatcher\SkyProcDebug\'.

Hey I'm making a babette replacer with this and I'm having a total derp moment. How can I get her to use her own unique textures? I got a friend to blend together a vampire-y texture for use with child vamps.

You'd have to edit the race to make it possible, without doing that you're restricted to additive blending and whatever you can stuff into the exported tintmask.

 

You're welcome to share whatever assets you have, and I could potentially flip some settings on the race, but from an 'end user' perspective you're kinda limited...

[Guest]

Ok here are the files..

=--Debug Overview--=.txt

trace.log

[en_hawk]

Ok here are the files..

Unfortunately the logs aren't showing a specific plugin as the cause of the error, which means you're going to have to manually track it down. Start disabling plugins and rerunning the patcher to try and nail down which one is causing the error. Once you've figured out which one is doing it, let me know and provide a download link and I'll try to write a fix.

[IFAZER]

I installed it using your instructions, however the mod failed to replace the vanilla, heartfire, and Dragonborn children. I load the game up, and all the kids still have that ugly a** potato head and basic vanilla stuff.

Post your load order and which mod manager you're using.

[Shimsham]

Does anyone have a Skykids Skyproc patched file I can DL? Just the Vanilla armors or whatever, atleast.

 

I can't really run the patcher cause I don't have Java, due to removing it since it was too big of a security risk (Sites sticking malicious Jar files into my temp folder. I even got one from Loverslab once before.)

Whenever my Dunmer child vampire uses an invisibility skill (Embrace of Shadows or Shadow Cloak of Nocturnal), she gets the googly eye glitch.  The glitch manages to fix itself whenever I exit the game and reload, but doing so each time I use an invisibility skill gets tedious:

That's not just a problem with this mod, but i think even in the vanilla game at times too. Certainly i've had it happen with other custom races. Anyway this mod from Nexus will fix it, or else it fixes it for me. ^.^

Thanks for the link, I'll look into this later and see if I can get a fix merged into the mod.

[lordofpie7000]

First I would like to say thanks to the mod author for all his hard work, and appreciate the lengths he went to setting up the FAQ/Instructions.

 

I do however have an issue. In character creation the bodies get auto resized. So the upper half is like a fully grown person while the bottom half is not. I checked in game to see if this affected the npc kids. It didn't appear to, but one can't always tell.

 

So it appears to be only in the character editor/racemenu. All races do it, so I assumed it was one of the mods I have installed. List below;

Bashed Patch, 0.esp

 

This list includes everything I have, not everything that is activated. Racemenuplugins.esp is disabled.

 

 

I've tried disabling SkyRe races, CME, Character creation overhaul, Racemenuplugins.esp, and ECE. Nothing has stopped the autoresizing of the bodies. I've moved the mod as far as I could into my load order. I also tried disabling my bashed patch (didn't think it would make too much of a difference). No matter what I have disabled the issue persists. My thoughts are that either;

 

1) I have a mod that's resizing things I don't know about

 

or

 

2) I have absolutely no clue

 

Armor swapping and everything works great, it's just this annoying character making issue that is maddening to no end. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

OR

 

C) I was tired, and I forgot that I used nems extra racemenuplugin for compiling extra sliders and once I disabled this the resizing problems stopped. However I did lose alot of extra sliders that I had, such as shoulder, arm, leg, and spine manipulation.

 

Figures it was something stupid like that. Shame I can't have my cake and eat it too.
