So....apparently reading the forums would have saved me from some confusion as to why the priest and mage quests ween't working correctly (dumb me).

 

Anyway, got part of the way through the blacksmith using the 20190907 version and liked it so far (a bit tedious if you don't know about certain sidequests that can help like how to become bloodkin). But got completely stuck by the first mage quest where I'm supposed to make and deliver 10 health potions (potion of rejuvenation iirc) to Danica. No matter how many I made, she would never have any dialog option to deliver them. Is that a bug, is there a shadow quest requirement to complete some other sidequest before, or is development that early?

I had issues with custom food/potion mods. Try leaving the potions in the chests on each side of the altar in the kyne temple.

Okay, I'll try it when I get back to Whiterun.

Sounds like a missing requirement too me.

Either from SLdialog or another mod in your LO.

Or you deinstalled another mod and forgot to remove a patch.

Alternative: too many animations installed

Changed load order too much during a running game?

HDD full?

Installation error?

For got to run FNIS?

Patches not rebuild?

 

or wrong version installed

or more than 254 plugins

or cracked game?

I can confirm I have the same problem. Last mod version prevent the game from launching.

I can start with my old version DL'd in March and the May version.

 

Tried with Zaz 7 and 8+ to no avail.

 

I can provide logs and info if needed.

 

Any way, thank you very much for all your work.

 

EDIT : Ok I guess I am a total idiot, I never realized you maintained both Oldrim and SE and I took the most recent version... for Oldrim. Everything is ok then.

By chests do you mean the storage cabinets that aren't marked as "steal from"? I tried placing the potions in one then talking to Danica, and no new dialog. Then took them out and placed in the other cabinet and talked to her again and still no dialog. Do I just leave them in the cabinets and go back to Farengar like a Skyrim version of amazon where you don't tell them it has been delivered and they have to find it themselves?

Disabling it works.. .but it does not restore you back to normal levels. That's something I still have to do.

Meanwhile, how can we restore it to a default state? Magicka, MagickaRate and MagickaRateMult are all on default values, but it's still not regenerating for me. 

 

Not trying to bash you or the mod, but there should be more explicit explanation in the OP or in the MCM that actually explains what this is doing. Even if you don't do that, disabling the option or putting a "not finished, use at your own risk" would/should suffice to restore the game to its default state or not use it to begin with.

Even if you don't do that, disabling the option or putting a "not finished, use at your own risk" would/should suffice to restore the game to its default state or not use it to begin with.

I am currently working on the next batch of improvements to the story of the Mage Apprentice AND testing/balancing/fixing the new Magicka system while I am play testing it.

 

That includes a reset of the MAgicka/MagickaRate values based on your level at the time you decide to uncheck that box.

 

I am also including a MCM slider to set the base amount of magicka you want to account for racial variations, and an immersive way to severely reduce the impact of low magicka at rest.

 

So for example in my tests, I start with -140 magicka at rest and a maximum of 220 at level 1 when I am seriously injured

(at level 10, that max value goes to 400... and at level 50, it goes to 1200).

 

That means, during combat, you get to chose between healing yourself fully and losing that extra boost of Magicka. 

It also means you cannot jump into combat with spells 'cold'... you need to take some damage first.

 

With that immersive way (no spoilers), the minimum value will move from -140 to -70, to a positive value based on your overall mastery and to an even higher positive value.

Magicka Mastery involves everything you do around Magicka, from tasting ingredients, making potions, enchanting items, to absorbing souls and learning shouts.

 

It is quite useable and gives a feeling of growth so that, by the time you become Archmage, you actually deserve to be Archmage :)

 

I am aiming for a release of this update in a week or so.

*snip*

That's great and thanks for the reply, but how do I fix my game now:D 


What quest do I have to terminate, what values needs to be reset, etc? As I said above, Magicka, MagickaRate and MagickaRateMult I have already reset to default values, yet Magicka regen still doesn't work. The quests have also been disabled in the MCM. 

I'm sorry to say this, but as it stands my game is broken, due to me blindly assuming that these mage quests were similar flavour stuff like the blacksmith quest.

 

Also, as a general advice, you might want to consider to split off these functionalities in a seperate mod.  But at least make it so that disabling these quests restores everything back to default values.

I don't change MagickaRateMult at all ... just Magicka and MagickaRate.

 

I will double check but the loop that updates those values should stop if the option is unchecked in the menu. Not sure how they keep getting reset.

I am sorry... I can't remember what they are waiting on me for.. but that is going soon to be a moot point because I am just about ready to push another release (unless that *is* what they are waiting for of course).

DBF, don't let yourself get pushed around by some SE guys ?

I am not... I do want to move on to SE eventually. 

I will evaluate if the time is right for that in January. Until then... I will keep working on my quests for Dialogues, SD+ and PArasites especially.

Okey, I got the wrong impression for a moment.

 

Yeehaa! Thanks for the update!

By the way, will the progress be carried with the update or we should start the mage quest from the beginning?

The progress should be carried over.

 

I did adjust some quest objectives but that's minor.

 

I am curious to see if there are issues with backward compatibility. There is one dialogue in particular I had to include to carry over older choices.

 

If you use the Magicka system, expect larger changes. I revisited the way Magicka is calculated and you may end up with more or less Magicka depending on where you are in your game.

I tried to drop hints in dialogues with your mentors to let people know how to bring up the pool of Magicka at rest from a negative value. I am getting close to the Magicka I wanted to play with for a long time and I find it enjoyable. 

 

Two hints:

 

- Practice everything Magic, from making potions to doing Daedric quests and absorbing dragon souls

- Dance close to death for major boosts of Magicka (the closer to death, the bigger the survival surge you get).

 

I was able to get very nice, sustained double handed fire blasts during combat after getting badly hurt.
