Failure Mode Effects Analysis in Skyrim (FMEA)

[MysticDaedra]

With SE, is it safe to compact formids to flag as ESL? Or are there hardcoded formids in the scripts that would break if I do this?

As far as I recall there are no FMEA formids hardcoded in the scripts. (Also most of the external forms FMEA uses are stored in JSON, although there are some hard coded as GetFormFromFile but nothing internal).

Awesome, I've made it an ESPFE and so far everything seems to be working great! My load order is jam-packed, so anything I add at this point has to be flagged lol. Thanks!

I've translation this mod for myself, but I can't find the dialogue like "Your chest feels tight" in the Scripts files. Can you tell me where I can find it? Thanks!

To do this you will need to edit the properties strOnEffectStart and strOnEffectFinish for any Spells using fmea_magiceffectdurationscript using the CK.

Is there any way to prod this to rebuild it's mcm? I did the installation, i got a bunch of modules installed messages but the mcm is stuck at 'install' and no content on the main panel

 

thank you

 

edit: just got an enchant event, so it's working, just not the mcm

Got the same error on new game. To solve the problem, you need to disable the mod, save the game, then MANDATORY clean the save from the scripts of this mod. After that, you can turn the mod back on. Following these steps, I solved this problem for myself.

Thank you but I don't want to break my save by removing a scripted mod and then reordering all mods after it. I have reverted to a save before I enabled it and left it off. I can provide a log when I enable it, if anyone wants to look into it. Let me know.

A nice additional feature for this mod would be if your character received one of the various devious devices or toys "or were subject to an estrus attack" whenever you broke a lock while trying to open a locked door or chest .  Or if you stepped on one of the trap trigger plates, or broke one of the trap trip wires that are already in the game this could happen as well !  Just throwing out ideas.  This would add to the system more of a trap avoidance/lockpicking test as opposed to just reacting to whatever the RNG happens to do.  What do you guys think?  This mod has promise ?

I know the Difficulty options (Slightly Inconvenient, Mildly Vexatious, Difficult, Challenging) change the duration of effects but how are they ranked?

 

Is it:

• Short - Slightly Inconvenient
• Normal - Mildly Vexatious
• Long - Difficult
• Very Long - Challenging

 

or:

• Short - Mildly Vexatious
• Normal - Slightly Inconvenient
• Long - Challenging
• Very Long - Difficult

or something else entirely?

It's

• Very Short - Slightly Inconvenient
• Short - Mildly Vexatious
• Long - Difficult
• Very Long (the original built in setting) - Challenging

This is the infamous "SkyUI "initialization failure" bug - I have optimised the FMEA MCM to reduce script load which will hopefully avoid SkyUI bugging out, so give the latest version a try.

Curiosity: Can you explain your trick a little bit, how you did that?

What's the thing that you avoid now?

The MCM install routine was calling the plugin updater using:

 

((Self as Quest) as fmea_pluginmanagerscript).UpdatePlugins()

 

This method is latent. so the MCM was having to wait for several seconds for it to finish - it's now called via a ModEvent  to avoid the latency. I have made the same change in FSM although there I was able to use Startquest as the the MCM/Updater quest design is slightly different

I love this mod and I didn't know I needed this until I tried it.

I just have a couple questions.

 

Is this update safe to install mid play-through?

and

Are effects like Narcosis curable via potions or do I just have to wait according to the difficulty options?

Yes - should be fine.

Do you REALLY want to read this spoiler? ?

Spoiler

They are curable

 

If you absolutely must know

Spoiler

Yes - via potions!

ScanCellNPCs is not available for skyrimVR, could you maybe implement it using my alternative code found here ?

Otherwise seems to work fine in VR  Nice mod !

That's not a very helpful comment.  It's a complaint with no detail.  If you want to help the mod author, and other players who might considering using the mod, you might explain what you saw and what you did.  What exactly is the problem that you had?  Is it random, or does it happen every time?  What steps would a player have to take to see the same problem?  What mod settings did you change to try to fix it?  What was the result?  What other things did you try to solve the problem?  Do you have other mods installed that affect butterflies and such, and did you check for a conflict?  Mods that try to change the same thing probably won't work well together. 

 

With that kind of information, the author would be much more likely to understand what was happening in your game and then be able to attempt to fix it.  Or, if it was just a misunderstanding on your part, someone could explain what you'd need to change to solve it.

 

For what it's worth, I've used this for a long time and I've had zero trouble interacting with butterflies, and if you look through the comments, I don't believe that there's another one about this kind of thing.  That suggests that problem is specific to your game and that it's something that you can fix -- if you just offer more specifics.

Took me a year to see this lol, but I did re download the mod and It appears that I did not see that option prior. Thank you for this because I would not have checked this again were it not for your comment. Kudos.

May I offer a suggestion?
Why not add an option to alchemy for an Estrus ooze monster attack for failed potion crafting?

Not difficult to add - but would duplicate the Enchanting outcome. I'd prefer to add some new content if possible.

That's fair. What about compatibility with SL pheromones? would add something that can effect multiple activities and all it would apply are the effects of another mod. These effects could potentially be tailored too. e.g. random natural (human/creature, non-daedric) pheramones for alchemy, daedric pheramons for enchanting, mechanoids (Dwemer sphere, spider, centurion).
If I'm not mistaken, most of the heavy lifting would be done by another mod while still offering options for consequences.

I'd agree with Immortal actually.  There aren't enough triggers for multiple types of estrus attacks from the mods out there right now.  Another one would be welcome ?.  You could add that in addition to another new option that is new content ? ?

I just thought of something. I'm 98% sure it's an animation by Billyy, but it's a tentacle attack from a patch of mushrooms. an animation like that would thematically fit perfectly with the "ingredients" failure system because of the "plants and fungi" thing.
