? The Selachii - Shark Race

[MrSuspiciousX]

Update: Holy crap that worked! That was an insanely easy fix, thanks for the suggestion!

[Chosen Clue]

Hmm, i'm having an issue generating tintmaps for selachii NPCs and I think it's because the warpaints the mod comes with are 2048res and the creation kit hates anything higher than 256res. Is there a way around this or do i have to lower the res of the included tints temporarily to generate NPC face textures?

 

I noticed that some chars in the NPC plugin are probably created with RaceMenu as their editor face morphs do not match their in game counterparts. That'd be a way to generate npcs a lot better.

Crashing at the main menu(or directly before you see it) can be a few issues, but one of these can be that scripts which the game is trying to load, and they cannot. Depending on your install, if what you have is just the requirements for this mod, the culprit may be RaceCompatibility. It isn't just the .esm file you'll want loaded, it's the scripts as well. I'd suggest trying to reinstall RC, likely the most current version from here, RaceCompatibility for Skyrim and Dawnguard. 

 

If you have a RaceCompatibility.esm from any other mods, it's best to only let the game load said mod's(RC's) files from the most current RC release, and not from other mods, If you use MO or MO2(or possibly Vortex, but I'm not sure of that...), you can load the standalone RC install after any mods that include conflicting files.

i tried installing rc before installing the shark race mod and the game worked fine. it only crashes after installing the latter. at this point idk what i'm doing wrong

[anon.s]

Is SOS installed and enabled properly? It's a hard requirement for this mod.

"It seems a discussion I've only had with those of other races, normally of similar positions. They bring up this sort of topic, and question it as if a rarity. As if the same is perhaps a once in a century occurrence, when these are perhaps men and women of knowledge and understanding? I always suggest the same - my profession, or how I, and perhaps the majority of my race choose to interpret it, is that when faced with difference, the first priority must be understanding, and then, acceptance. Perhaps the same trappings you do not need to take upon yourself, but the acknowledgement of others, you must. After that, a due of respect must be paid, the equal acknowledgement of them as a sentient being, as yourself. But how you treat them further, is a measure of your character."

Added these Sarashii/Fundoshi colors to the mod.

The background location is in the mod too, intended as a quest location for Nami's quest, A Price Paid. As well as relating to the previously shown cavern with the ship, Sailor's Cove. Information on said area, including it's story and characters can be found in the blog, here.

I love the new colors Kuroyami, the new location looks cool too

Yoooooo freaking hot, you know how to get good shots. But how did you get it to work with SAM body on SSE? Would you be able to share? O-O

You're quoting a two year old post from an account that is long deleted. I shouldn't need to tell you that the chances of getting a reply fall somewhere between "none" and "absolute zero", and I have to question your judgement of doing such a thing while expecting a reply, lol.

 

I don't know of any proper SAM patches for the race, or if any do exist they are not public, so I'm afraid you're out of luck there.

It was a slim chance, but better a shot in the dark than watching and hoping lmao. Ngl though, I didn't read too much into it ?

Hey Blaze do you think you could make a wearable orca tail mod for skyrim se or fallout 4? See I'm trying a cosplay for my character on those two and I already have the ears and hairstyle. All that's missing is the tail.

[Chosen Clue]

@ASlySpyDuo what location mod is used in the pics? I'd like to give it a try uwu.

Hey dude any chance you could make a cbbe patch again for this?

Not for now. I might redo/overhaul the textures at some point, though, and if I do then I will (probably) make a CBBE patch as well. But it will take a long while to happen if it ever does, so I wouldn't keep my hopes up.

In the follower esp, Kyo has a house in the solitude docks, but he doesn't path to it to sleep nor sandbox. It turns out that in the navmesh, there's two islands disconnected so he never goes to sleep or sandboxes. I've highlighted the issue in the below screenshot by separating two of the 4 verts that should be connected.

 

 

What I'd recommend is to move them out like this and then select all 4 of them and press A to make a connection.

Thanks for the heads up, dunno how that happened but obviously it did. Ugh. Thanks, CK. ?

 

Anyhow, I'm afraid updates won't happen anytime soon (if at all), but I'll make sure to add this to the list of stuff to do if/when it happens so it can be sorted out.

A related question regarding resizing the tintmasks for shark npcs: I've been trying to resize these using paint.net to the required 256 x 256 size, but each and everytime I try to use these in the Creation Kit, it throws me a warning about the files not being in the correct size and ignores the tintmasks altogether. Is there something I'm missing or is there some trick to it? I attached one of the files so if anyone can point out what am I doing wrong, that would be a great help! Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to get FFR patch for sharks?

Not quite sure what "FFR" means, so I can't really answer that for sure.

 

It's unlikely whatever it is would happen anytime soon, though, since I'm currently busy with other projects and thus not planning any updates for this mod in the near future.
