DeepBlueFrog Posted April 17, 2017 Author Posted April 17, 2017 Looking at what I need to do for the main quest in Parasites and the side quest for the Queen of Chaurus, I could really use assets from the DLCs, especially Dragonborn and Dawnguard (like tentacles fluids from Apocrypha or Chaurus cocoons from Dawnguard). My question: Would anyone really object to making these two mods requirements for Parasites? The reasons: 1- It would make my life a lot easier to have these assets directly in the main mod as opposed to having to build an addon. 2- It has been almost 5 years since Dragonborn was released and the DLCs are fairly cheap by now. I know it is my mod and I can do what I want with it but I thought I would take the pulse of the forum on this question first.
Content Consumer Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 Re meshes, there's an actor mesh "kikimore" in LorSakyamuni's pack that could be used as a static mesh, implanted in the skin as some kind of parasite. It's not in the main download (and no screenshot of it), it's in the "blood and wine" download. Aside: I've been trying to get the Foglet to work in CCAS as a vampiric Riekling a la the Feral Falmer from Dawnguard, but I'll be damned if I can figure out how to do it. The kikimore as an actual creature would be interesting, maybe scuttling around in the parasite caves (or better yet, scuttling around on the PC's skin ). Too bad.

It looks like it would beg to be mapped to a spider or mudcrab skeleton Thanks.. I will look into it. Edit: I love the idea of a beached whale from the User provided screenshots. Lots of potential for parasites there (get too close to the whale - maybe with a shipwreck next to it - and get infected by whatever was crawling around it ).
bicobus Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 My question: Would anyone really object to making these two mods requirements for Parasites? Nah, I can't believe people still haven't brought them.

Lots of potential for parasites there (get too close to the whale - maybe with a shipwreck next to it - and get infected by whatever was crawling around it ). Gave me an idea for an alternate start, actually. My question: Would anyone really object to making these two mods requirements for Parasites? Nah, I can't believe people still haven't brought them. It was a legitimate concern a few years ago. To be honest, I'm not sure if it isn't still, but I have to say I haven't gotten any complaints about including DLC content for quite some time. You could put a poll on your blog, maybe enough people would respond you'd get a fair idea?
panthercom Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 Don't cripple yourself; you should pillage the DLC's to your heart's content. People can purchase the DLC's for the price of a few fancy lattes. What's more important? Fancy coffee or getting your rocks off?
sfeile Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 Go with it! Don't feel the need to restrict it. As was stated, DLC's are almost nothing, and everybody "should" have them by now anyways. One thing I would like to humbly request if it isn't too much trouble for future updates, is an easier file structure allowing us to drop in our bodyslide meshes. I already have most of the items you use, but I have no meshes folder in your mod to be able to put my built "attire" into. I have no idea how to unpack bsa's or anything. Making the mod bodyslide compatible would be awesome, but even in my next to nothing knowledge, I'm betting that's not real easy.
slygothmog Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 My question: Would anyone really object to making these two mods requirements for Parasites? Nah, I can't believe people still haven't brought them. I second that, and if there is anyone out there that does play Skyrim without the DLC's, well that's their loss then.
yolobomber Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 Would there actually be someone here that does only play without dlc's here?
atrix Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 I don't see any point in limiting yourself to the vanilla game at this point... Unrelated, is there any chance of getting bodyslide files for the parasites that replace the body (eg, living armor, etc).

I can't do bodyslides updates but I would be happy to add them to the downloads area if anyone makes them.
atrix Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 Here are a few I was able to find: Living Armor http://www.loverslab.com/topic/47100-rory-campbells-bodyslide-2-conversions/?p=1223657 Tentacle Parasite http://www.loverslab.com/topic/52665-tentacle-parasite-cbbe-uunp-bodyslide-hdt/ Only thing is, I don't know if the files will output nifs with the same names your mod is looking for.
Umgath Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 skyrimll If I infect an NPC with akTarget.SendModEvent("SLPInfectChaurusWormVag") it not just infects NPC but also starts Kyne's Blessing Quest for player. Could you please add event version or event parameter that will not trigger the quest?
thomas00126 Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 now i really cant wait to see what skymill can pull of when he has acssess to all the dlc
Delzaron Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Hum... the game crash every time I'm infected by the tentacle parasite...
DeepBlueFrog Posted April 21, 2017 Author Posted April 21, 2017 Hum... the game crash every time I'm infected by the tentacle parasite... Probably a skeleton issue. What kind of skeleton do you have in your game?
Delzaron Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Hum... the game crash every time I'm infected by the tentacle parasite... Probably a skeleton issue. What kind of skeleton do you have in your game? XMPS 32
DeepBlueFrog Posted April 21, 2017 Author Posted April 21, 2017 Hum... the game crash every time I'm infected by the tentacle parasite...Probably a skeleton issue. What kind of skeleton do you have in your game? XMPS 32 Check the download link where I got the tentacle parasite armor from. Maybe it requires HDT or something like that. I don't think about it anymore since I have been using it for a long time.
HyperonicX Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Hum... the game crash every time I'm infected by the tentacle parasite... Probably a skeleton issue. What kind of skeleton do you have in your game? XMPS 32 You should upgrade it to XMPSE. It does what XMPS does but better. Link: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/68000/?
dercas79 Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Looking at what I need to do for the main quest in Parasites and the side quest for the Queen of Chaurus, I could really use assets from the DLCs, especially Dragonborn and Dawnguard (like tentacles fluids from Apocrypha or Chaurus cocoons from Dawnguard). My question: Would anyone really object to making these two mods requirements for Parasites? The reasons: 1- It would make my life a lot easier to have these assets directly in the main mod as opposed to having to build an addon. 2- It has been almost 5 years since Dragonborn was released and the DLCs are fairly cheap by now. I know it is my mod and I can do what I want with it but I thought I would take the pulse of the forum on this question first. Rock on. This is EASILY one of my top five favorite mods. I would love to become the Queen of the Chaurus........

The Chaurus Queen armor found here: http://mitinokuoblivion.blog118.fc2.com/blog-entry-1595.html Only problem is that it is in 7BO and not UUNP/CBBE bodyslide compatible.
