What is this and Requests thread

[xartom]

Is there a mod (or a good way to) completely remove those pesky loading screens and just leaves the main loading one that has no words or images when you first start up the game?

[Poontank]

Judging by the info from this discussion here I gather it's impossible to get rid of loading screens altogether. It's what Leviathan1753 says in the third post. Seems the use of these screens is kinda hard-coded into the game.

 

Although I like the idea of loading sceeens in the vein of old 'Resident Evil' games with a picture of the exact kind of door or entryway that is being entered.

Does anyone happen to know of a good lollipop model (and matching textures)?

Not necessarily in nif format, as long as the files are free to use (or are cheap and sufficiently impressive to justify purchasing & porting).

[randompeep]

Is there a mod that gives you a spell or something similar so that you can check if a person is pregnant? It would seem way easier to check with a spell or a whack of a stick than to check their pockets and be called a pickpocket cx

 

You can also look for "activte inventory spell." It is as advertised - a spell (non hostile) which lets you look into an npc's inventory upon touching them with it. You can even take or remove items from inventories without being labled a pickpocket. Though on rare occasion (a bug perhaps) it may provoke an npc.

Here is one which even serves as a blunt weapon: LollipopWeapon.rar

 

I intend to include it in my NPC mod as a fun item to equip one of the plugin's many x117 characters with it. In a similar vein there are also banana and popsicle weapons... The texture for this item here isn't that great though. I didn't get around to making a better one yet.

 

The lollipop files originally are from this mod here in case you wonder. It even has got cute bear suits!

Not quite the quality I'm looking for, but thank you for sharing anyway. It's appreciated.

I'll probably just make my own. Probably.

Is there a replacer for head gear to make it work with the lop ears elf? I'm playing as a lop ears elf II mini and its annoying how the head clips through hoods and helmet

 

[Poontank]

Yes, that's a drawback to using a mini race. Luckily there is this mod here which has x117 versions of all the vanilla headgear.

An old Japanese mod, I have made a few edits to the esp by altering some stats (pit helmet now has health and armor rating and such) as well as adding a second version of the item containers to the testinghall cell for easier access to the gear.

 

x117Helm_and_Hood.rar

 

In case you want to use these freebie containers, open the console and type the command coc testinghall which will take you to this interior cell.

The chests are to the sides of the door to 'Hawkhaven' in the room's central structure. After looting the containers just enter said 'Hawkhaven' cell to return to the game world via fast-traveling. Alternately any other coc code can be used, coc weye for example.

[xcrunner15]

Awesome, thanks!

I'm looking for a large pose compilation mod. It had about 200+ poses in it, some were spell casting like the picture below plus many from CTaddpose. I think I found it on a Russian site but I can't remember.

 

 

 

On another site someone mention speedbuster pose mod. Searching that site and google has turned up nothing. Anybody have an idea.

 

[Vaelorian]

You apparently did not consider searching for the words "Pose" or "SPB" on the Nexus. So here's a link.

http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/28724

 

Now, I know the chance for this is rather astronomically low, but I figure I'd ask before I convert it myself:

Does an Oblivion version of this mod (or something in the vague vein of this mod) exist?

http://modtype.doorblog.jp/archives/42341676.html

[myuhinny]

Other then the SPB ribbon armor I don't think I have seen anything like that for oblivion buut you never know something like that might be locked away on one of those sites. I know Gerra6 has a thread where he is trying to gauge how many would be interested in a tool that can change a nif version to a different one so that it can work in a different game. Like taking a skyrim nif and changing it so that it works with oblivion.

I'm currently compiling a head resource to be released on nexus. Basically old heads with better weights and neckseams.

 

As I was browsing through heads released in mods, I found one called "asXivilai.nif" in Integration. Does anyone know where this is from? for documentation's sake.

 

 

 

There will be 3 head resource packages.

1. Vanilla heads and classics, which includes the vanilla heads and;

- renheads

- xivilai

 

2. Nuska heads from OCOv2.3

 

3. Head06 heads

- Moonshadow

- Robert's head06 in his resource files

- Bella heads (blood elves, etc)

- Some heads in Throttlekitty resource files

 

Are there any famous heads I'm missing?

[Poontank]

I reckon that one tweaked 'Head06' is from this playable Xivilai mod by Slof (head mesh by Throttlekitty). I did use the race for a while, it's awesome.

 

Other famous head meshes? Ha, now might be the chance to get a fully functional version of this one here! It's an amazing head with a few drawbacks. The UV map is very unique and requires specific textures that are hard to come by. In Bella's vampire race package for example is one face texture included that does work with Cold Blood's mesh. But the head's one rather prominent flaw is a weird distortion effect on the mouth when a character is speaking. The lips look like 'fused together'! So far it seems nobody - not even CB himself - has ever attempted to fix this issue.

 

Then there are KKK's Lop-Ear Elf heads and also the Evy and Final Fantasy race heads. Though those meshes certainly should be omitted from your collection for an intended release on that site... Some Asian races are using an edited Ren head (or is this TK or even vanilla?) with somewhat 'sad' eyes: 'Dremora Elf', the 'Slim' race package.

 

 

And there are the heads by Corean modder Idkrrr. Very elegant and interesting head variants, found in pretty races like this.

[AnnaFly]

Good find, Myuhinny! I haven't looked at the SPB collection for a long time.

My idea was to simply reassemble a similar outfit from existing parts. This dress will be very helpful in that endeavour.

 

The boots are the easiest part, they are the ones used in 99 percent of all SPB outfits. I have always been under the impression the original boot mesh was made by Slof, no? But I could be wrong on that one.

 

And I find Zor2k13's list of links quite helpful - everything in one place, no need to browse and search for ages. Thank you for this comprehensive list!

There are a few files I wasn't familiar with before or missed the release.

Hi there.

 

Firstly , i wish you a Happy New Year of course.

 

Secondly , for you and for all the SPB's fans , i found yesterday , another SPB collection at " That Site Over There ..."  as you named it  .

 

So i think it's a "pratical" thing because all these outfits are stored in only 3 barrels .

i'm not sure if this mod include or not older versions ( and no more aviable at the SPB's blog since a few months ) but that's another story.

 

Thirstly : cheers .

 

PS : yes ,stupid i was ; it's better with the related link !

[AnnaFly]

I'm looking for a mod or modding resource of cat-like eyes or felidae eyes that have no round irises, but rather a slit iris.

Also, it is important for me that the eyes won't have any white in them like human eyes.

 

Here's an example -

 

 

 

Greetings.

 

First , Happy New Year.

Secondly , i found another eyes resource , not sure if you still need it or not , but it looks in someway as the cat's picture you posted  ( take a look at the pictures N°4 & 5 ):

Cheers.

The EVY head mesh could also do with a update mainly their teeth as they have no vampire teeth for them at all which is why I never become a vampire in oblivion when using the race as they have no vampire teeth so there is no reason to become one.

[junkacc]

Ok thx poontank, added all the idkrrr heads I found on nexus. Some of his heads have narrower necks and no male versions. Looks like those will be female only.

 

Hmm Digital Girl... I spent a week fixing all the problems with the head06 TRI and EGM files and digi is even less complete.

 

Since EVY is a popular head, I might do that later. Take out the old hexeditor and stick the vampirism morph to the teeth. but EVY won't be included in the initial release because it has a different UV. The problem with that is it needs modifications to it's EGT file (needed for seamless neckseams), although not difficult, time consuming.

[Vaelorian]

If you're looking for head models, the races I believe are quite frequently used are (in order):

-Diablo Elves.

-Kaleen Race.

-Blood Elves.

 

I believe the Kaleen and Blood Elves are using the head06 mesh. I'm not sure, and am not currently next to my computer to check.

 

If you're looking for lesser known heads that could really use an improvement, then the following would be at the top of my list (also in order):

-Xenius's Race Compilation.

-Lattamer Elves v3.

 

 

Obviously merely trying to provide info if you want it. Not expecting you to improve any of these heads.

[junkacc]

Yes, Diablo Elves and Kaleen use the Moonshadow head. Blood Elves and other Bella heads are included already. I think Xenius and Lattamer is head06_fem3_tweak, which is also included.

 

I've been looking through these mods and some just bump up the glossiness and use a different name. It's funny because within one mod I see a folder called "ren" that contains renheads and another called "rivian" which is renhead + glossiness. Makes it hard to know unless you open them up in blender.

 

I think I've covered most head06 and vanillaUV based heads now. Thanks for all your inputs!

[Poontank]

Just a tiny correction: Both Diablo Elf incarnations I know of, from XEO and the '6 in 1' OMOD, are using a Ren head. The Xenius compilation has three different H06 variants, F1 and F3 for females and M1 which should be similar to the one from the Xivilai race or male Synx. The latter one's head mesh is named 'H06_JC1'. Lattamer (V3) calls its head 'H06_Fem1' which makes me think it's similar to the F1 from the Xenius package. Though I might be wrong on that one as file names alone can be misleading.

 

I would advise against including the Evy head in a Nesux release at all. It's what I hinted at in my previous post: Evy and FF races are somewhat frowned upon on that site due to their 'copyright-infringing nature'. Must be the reason those races aren't hosted there... Sure, from time to time people are posting pictures of characters featuring such races, but the race mods themselves can't be downloaded from the site. To be on the safe side you should omit such assets from your Nesux release to avoid possible problems.

 

But you could release the full mod on here! Since a lot LL members are using the Evy race (I guess), your mod will be more than welcome on this site.

And any new files for LL's Oblivion downloads section are always a good thing to have.

[junkacc]

Ok thanks Poontank.

 

So next question. I'm onto the armors and clothes now.

 

Q1. What are the highest quality armors and clothes for men and women that have full sets. ie) Full set of armor, full set of clothes, full set of everything.

I need to change the vertex normals and do small conversions because of thicker male necks <-- this applies to all the heads in the heads pack

 

ex)

 

I'm already including everything in Robert's v5.2. Anymore for men?

For women, I did a test for saaya's BBB E-cup. Very good results so far, whereas I saw a very slight seam on clothed NPCs before, now it's invisible.

 

No DMRA, skimpy or bigger than E-cup. This is meant to be played with agemaps on and the last time I tried DMRA I had an immurrrsion break after seeing grannies in bikinies.

 

 

Q2. To anyone who's done it before, do you think it's worthwhile to reweigh the BBB on these low poly meshes? Meshrigger takes a long time to run and I also need to seperate the rigid and non-rigid. I don't want to find out that it wasn't worth it later.

 

 

EDIT: Ok I found some men's armor replacer by senchan on nexus, but they seem to be for robert's malebody v4. Are these compatible with v5?

[Symon]

My experience has always been that V4 and v5.2 are close, but depending on the mesh, you might need to do a little work with Blender or Gerra's tools. A v4 to V5.2 lattice might be a big help.

Is there a mod that will allow me a way to hide some of the "adult" mods i have installed? 

I have my computer in an area where people walking in on me isn't a problem but i do have friends that visit frequently and i'd like some way to disable the adult mods i have on or hide them in a way so i don't have to worry about people getting onto my game and finding some of the things i've got installed.  

[Vaelorian]

Yes, there is, it's called Wrye Bash's "Profiles" system.

 

Create two profiles for your game; one with the mods you want to hide, one without.

Whenever you have guests, switch profile and copy the saves over. Done.
