? The Selachii - Shark Race

[Kuroyami]

Moar? As it more sharks? Okay. 

 

Also, some dialog for...well...I don't think I've posted this one yet. 

Spoiler

[PC] [PlayerNotWearingSelachiiArmor] So, that armor you're wearing...
        |
       F - Yes, I know it is rather unusual, and it has actually caused me some problems. Both in maintaining it, and with the Thalmor, when I was in Solitude.
             |
           [PC] Is it more or less difficult to maintain, than other types of armor?
                  |
                 F - It is not, but some smiths do not easily wish to touch work they understand little about. It is to my luck, that one smith lives in Skyrim, who actually knows how to forge such armor. 
                        |
                       [PC] Where is she?
                              |
                             F - She lives in a house near Dragon Bridge, a small village in Haafingar named for the...well, bridge. (Gives Dragon Bridge Map Marker?)

 

                       [PC] [PlayerMetSeika] Oh, you mean Seika? I've met her already. 
                              |
                             F - I've actually met her family, you know. 

 

                       [PC] Seriously? That seems...convenient. 
                              |
                             F - True enough. 

           [PC] What problems did you have in Solitude?
                   |
                  V - Well, for all the wisdom possessed by the Altmer, they seem to bow to a rather simple way of thinking. That being, my armor looking very similar to that of the Blades, a group which they have it out for, regardless of the group being nearly non-existent by this point. 
                         |
                      [PC] I think there may be more to it than that.
                            |
                            F - It is certainly possible. But the soldiers I spoke with seemed to have the intelligence of a scroll whose text is written by someone else, and they have no interest in adding any of their own experience or wisdom to it.
                                  |
                                [PC] How did you avoid the problem becoming worse?
                                       |
                                      F - From what I understand, the ability of the Thalmor to operate in Skyrim is not the same as say, Solitude's guards. Perhaps they can bribe guard captains to look the other way if someone disappears in the night, but in broad daylight, in the middle of the capitol? Possibly not. Though I have to imagine they could still send their soldiers after me, given that event, but I have not seen any in the last week or so.

 

                      [PC] Who are the Blades?
                             |
                            F - Well, then do not blame me if you hear a repeat explanation of this in your travels. Anyway, the Blades were once a group that protected the Emperors of Tamriel, which faltered before the end of the Third Era, when the last Septim Emperor was assassinated. But the Blades would face their end some time later, after the Thalmor presented severed heads to the Emperor, sparking the Great War. 

 

                      [PC] Why would they confuse you for a Blade?
                             |
                            F - Similar designs of armor? Possibly that, alongside the, well, possibility of finding one. Either a immense hatred, religious belief, or a want to impress superiors, and you get that kind of behavior.

Will be changing or adding to some of these.

Liking the idea, it's a nice way to introduce the player to the Selachii armor sets. Until I manage to get Seika's shop set up and working (stupid CK terrain editor), in which case it will be a nice pointer as well, but Seika will be the "default" method.

I also tried my hand at a sex photoshoot. Let's see how it goes. Featuring Fume as well, because why not:

 

"Is that a dagger in your pants, or are you happy to see me?"

"Why don't you find out?"

 

 

Spoiler

"Well, well, it isn't a dagger but a spear! But I'll need to get it out of its sheath first..."

 

 

"Do as you will, my spear is all yours"

"I'd say it could use some polishing, don't you think?"

 

 

"Let me take care of it"

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Ready for round two?"

"I'm always up for more sparring"

"Well, now it's time for my spear to be polished... but you can sheathe yours in me if you want"

"Don't mind if I do"

 

Spoiler

 

"You sure know how to handle a weapon!"

See, there is a reason why I let you write the dialogues for the dragon mod (well, that, and lazyness, but mainly this because I can't write porn to save my life, lol ).

Thumbs up to the both of you! 

[Kuroyami]

Trying my hand at these Warpaints/Tintmasks again. 

The first one might not look so good because I made that one with the male texture, and the second was specifically made with the female texture - hence it, perhaps, looking better - though it could still use some work, especially around the eyes. I was using these as reference electrixocket, and piranhapettingzoo(both NSFW), respectively.

 

Also, a character test(one of my own), which just includes...oh, it's do it yourself?

Spoiler

Not too sure about it yet, but the idea involves the Soul Gem Pregnancy mod. I do have a similar Dunmer character as well, so I'll have to think of something to make this one different, other than the race.

First one does need some work to look better on female heads at least (don't know how it looks on males), but it's a good start. The second one looks pretty much fine to me, though if it can be refined even further, then that's neat.

 

I've been saving up some references on facial markings for future work (either by me or Nightro), but I just realized I've only been searching for female characters, so I guess I'll also have to give males a chance. Not that I expect there to be much more designs than on females (they probably are very similar), and it's not like I've seen all female ones anyway with the huge amount of content out there, but I could be missing some hidden gems like the second one there.

"You know, I'm sorry for dragging you into this."

"Really? From what it sounds like I'm not helping 'no-one'. Even if many have no idea who, or what you are, they know of the title. Does that not mean something? You think it means nothing to me?"

 

"I do wonder if it is, right, that it is me - and not someone they would expect, and perhaps want. But it, is, me, and they will have to deal with that."

 

"Of course they will. You think they get to choose the one who gets to save their asses, along with the rest of them? They do not." (She shifts in her armor) "Damn...say, do you..."

 

"I see. Leave the rest of that on, and give me a second."

 

"I've never felt that before. I can feel it peeling back in there."

 

Spoiler

 

"Damn, I can taste that."

"Well? Share it then!"

Boy, Fume sure is getting a lot of action all of a sudden. (@IGotBored look at what you started. Are you happy now?)  She seems to be enjoying it, though, so that's cool. 

 

What location is that? The tileset looks like the Skyhaven Temple one, but I don't remember there being cherry trees and a pond, so I assume it's either from a completely different Akaviri-themed scenario or from a mod that revamps the Temple (probably the former).

It is Sky Haven Temple, but with this mod changing the mountain exterior - Sky Haven Temple Gardens.

Hey I could use some help. I'm not getting the vampire fangs or eyes for some reason. I became a vampire the normal way, getting the disease and waiting 3 days, didn't have the visual features. Just thought I'll see what happens when I get to harkon and even after getting bite by him I still don't have it. I think the game doesn't consider me a vampire also cause when talking to harkon the prompt to say "I'm already a vampire" didn't come up and I haven't been getting the comments from npcs about it. I'm using better vampires.

Something went wrong and caused the race swap to fail; the lack of vampire eyes/fangs and the "DON'T have xxxx" messages from the first pic are a dead giveaway.

 

Did you make sure to reinstall RaceCompatibility after installing Better Vampires and choose the BV patch in the RC installer? RC needs to overwrite BV's scripts for vampirism to work properly on custom races.

Yeah I reinstalled RC but I did not have it overwriting BV. Fixed that then became a vampire on that save and no change but then I made a new save and became a vamp and this is what i got. 

Spoiler

Definitely  not what I was expecting ?. I'm thinking this is the same problem Kuroyami had?

Yup, that's got to be the same issue. Try using xEdit to delete the "XXXXRaceController" quests from the YiffyAgeConsolidated plugin and see if it helps on a new game (but don't delete the SnowLeopardRaceController one if you want them to still be playable). While at it, you can also try finding the standalone Lykaios/Vaalsark/Kygarra/Fennec race records and removing the "Playable" flag from them so they don't clutter the race menu, though this is more of a QoL improvement and doesn't actually effect RaceCompatibility at all.

[Taven]

I think I've discovered an issue, for some reason, the heavy dawnguard armor appears with the meshes of the ancient draugr armor when worn...why am I asking this here? Well, when I asked the same thing on nexxus' new discord, and some asked if I was using a custom race, and if so, that means there's an incompatibility. My character's a Selachii so..that's what's brought me here. Weird thing is, even the GROUND MESH is ancient dragur armor. I'll bring a few pics in a little bit.

[Taven]

There's the heavy armor ground mesh..

Spoiler

I've even come to find out that the rest of the pieces of heavy dawnguard armor are meshed after the draugr armor. O.o

Spoiler

So, uh yeah. I think these pieces are the only ones acting like this though..hopefully.

Selachii use whichever ArmorAddons are enabled for DefaultRace, which in a standard/vanilla context means all the human meshes, so if something looks wrong on them it should also look wrong on human races (with only a few unlikely exceptions). Whoever told you the custom race was the issue is completely wrong about it.

 

I should note that I also seem to be having that issue as well; I know because I recently installed a Dawnguard armor replacer and I checked it out ingame by coc'ing into qasmoke and grabbing anything with "Dawnguard" in the name from the debug containers, and there are indeed some heavy armor sets named "Dawnguard Armor" that use the Ancient Nord meshes. And they look like that on Nords as well.

 

I assumed they were simply leftover test items that weren't actually meant to be used ingame (or at least not visible to the player). Did you get them through normal gameplay or did you simply console/additemmenu them in? If it's the latter, that would match my assumption (i.e. you got the wrong items and gave yourself the test armors instead of the real ingame/playable ones).

 

In any case, I can 100% guarantee it has nothing to do with this race mod.

 

Side note: if I may ask, which Ancient Nord armor replacer are you using? I can't really get a good look at your character behind the UI in the pics so I'm not sure but I don't think I've seen that mesh before.

AH! There's my problem right there. After checking back a bit, I've found out this was a flub on my part. I was looking for the 'HEAVY' armor variant of the dawnguard armor, BUT...I was being silly and not being specific enough in console when I just typed in 'dawnguard armor'. I went back and checked my meshes, checked my mods, checked EVERYTHING ELSE besides simply going back into skyrim and trying to type in 'dawnguard heavy armor' in console to look for the armor. What I found when I first typed in 'dawnguard armor' was that leftover dawnguard armor that probably shouldn't be in the game in the first place, and THAT sent me on my unnecessary crusade to try and fix a problem that wasn't a problem in the first place. xD

[IGotBored]

@Blaze69 Yeah that fixed it thanks

Never mind. stuck with BV telling me its not using the scripts( global value 666) and please feed to update but every time i feed i get the corner proudly shouting I am a vampire fledgling!

Been a while since I used BV (I use Sacrosanct instead), but try reinstalling both mods from scratch and make sure you have the latest version of both of them. Install BV first, then install RaceCompatibility and select the BV patch in the installer. Make sure RC loads after BV in the left pane of MO, but load the BV plugin after RC in the plugin list (right pane). Also check that you don't have any other mods editing the vampire scripts that could be overwriting both RC's and BV's changes.

I'm starting to remember why I stopped using BV. If that doesn't work then I'm going back to Sacro

Small update on this: I've gone through the Dawnguard plugin and I can confirm there is indeed a set of heavy armor named "Dawnguard" armor that uses the Ancient Nord assets. Its EditorID is different from the actual Dawnguard items (DLC1ArmorHunterXXXX instead of DLC1ArmorDawnguardXXXX) and it's only used in the debug container with all the DG items placed in qasmoke, so we can safely conclude it is indeed a test item you got by mistake.
