updated texture paths for some of those having issues.

Anyone doing much scripting? Just wondering.

Also Kurgans weapon is being textured normal mapped etc now granted this is MY take on it, ill do a plain jane version afterwards.

So are you saying you don't like scripting, Crazy? :laugh:

Scripting seems pretty straight forward.

So Crazy, if I send you a model you'll map it for me?

yea if you send me an OBJ file i can uv map it, and texture it if i dont despise the model. Im picky, I can also model stuff as well,

Just be warned i havent worked out out the quirks yet, examples i cant get blood FX to work on weapons currently so no blood on weapons in game, also cant get the model to show up in inventory aka its there by name, but the mesh dosent show, but once equipped works fine lol

After running Creation Kit i noticed that now my ESPs in my data file in my skyrim folder are now known as blethesda plug in. but if i launch skyrim and click data files they are still listed esps.

An esp is a plug-in file according to the CK. My mod shows up that way as do all of the Bethesda ones.

@crazyeyes: I'm liking your insane dragon bone smasher. I upgraded it, and as legendary it does 84 damage, with no two handed perks. so, without any enchantment but all the two handed perks it should be able to do like 170? thats cool. It weighs 45, but what the heck my carry weight is over 600.

I still use a deadric sword mostly, but its fun to send stuff flying, lol

my character with Max Perks etc, the weapon did 188 damage, before i upgraded it, legendary should push it above 200 ;)

and its suppose to be heavy the weapon is essentially a giant solid chunk of Iron with Dragon Bone thrown in, (in demon souls its just solid iron) but i figured with dragon bone tossed in the weapon cant be used till late game, which is wear it belongs.

If the Damage is to high for your selected difficulty it can be easily changed by loading the Construction set selecting Skyrim.esm and Dragonbone Smasher.esp set the esp to active then load the data do a search for CZER in the weapon category, from there double click and under damage, just input the value you want.

24 = Deadric
50 = Dragonbone smasher
for those on easy difficult 32-35 would be ideal
those on normal 35-38
hard 38-42
Max difficult 42-50

I'm having fun with it. I endorsed on nexus :D

you should look for the mod that lets you DUAL WIELD TWO HANDED WEAPONS :)

2x DBS = hilariously awesome

give me a few minutes ill see if i can get it to work lolz

back i tried couldnt get it to work, not gonna mess with it the tytanis mod + overwriting a default weapon still didnt work so screw it not worth the hassel even if it would have been hilarious.

That is one seriously badass weapon Crazyeyes. I think it should weigh a lot more though, it is massive.

most people dont have large carry weight i went with something thats usable its still the heaviest weapon in game by around 8 units,

mine is custom, my weapon speed is even lower .4 vs default .55 and Damage is 60 instead of 50 with a weight of 50 units,

I restarted as an Imperial. One handed, Blocking, Heavy Armor, Smithing, with Archery.

Doing the iron dagger trick and already outfitted a nice Dwarven set. :)

Well im a doucehbag... got tired of lvling my enchant ability so.... I married the head priestess of Dibella, whos a master Enchanter, now my Skill is maxed thanks to her loving nature lulz,

You get your spuoses' skills?

no you can train and then take your money back,

people say its an exploit but in reality what spouse would charge you when it comes to teaching you new skills ;)

Oh forgot about that, lol. Yeah, thats fun. You can do that with anyone, as long as your a good pickpocket.

Just found this mod on Steam Workshop: Stones of Barenziah Quest Markers

Installing it precisely for the reason the modder made it:

Some Skyrim-specific rumors:

Kotaku

i hope the DLC also kicks up the radiant quests adding more meat to them. making the randomly generated quests more detailed and more random would really help with replay value.



not to mention some more spell improvements, destruction is powerful but really dull and unvaried.

Don't expect large mods from the community for awhile as the CK is badly borked for new outdoor areas (in ESPs) and the serious modders are having to jump through hoops with 3rd party tools to get things to work right. Small to medium new content in the existing world seems to work okay.

Bethesda says in the forums they will be working on fixing the CK for both modders and the devs (because they can't use the broken portions either). We will see.

@Crazy, I have a n00b modelling question for you ...
When you are working in a modelling program (Blender, Maya, etc.), how do you know what size to make your model? How do you correlate game size to modelling unit size?

Skyrim cloud saves now available via Steam
 

Bethesda announced today that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for PC now has cloud saving available via Steam.

Skyrim PC players can sync and access their PC saves anywhere using Steam's Cloud Saving service.

While Cloud Saving is nothing new for Steam, it is the first time Skyrim has it available since its launch back in November 2011.
