Even with that, and even after making barrel outfit, I still had a few problem porting clutters as an outfit. They were always static and floating above my character. I finally found out that it was because I copied the BSLightingShaderProperty from the original clutter item and pasted it over the new outfit one. When I found that it was only this causing me problem, I remembered of my first armor port I did in Fallout. It was doing the same thing. Because one of the shader flag was wrong. I remember spending a night trying to find why before I could find a guide and finally fix it. So this must be similar in Skyrim. I'm not very technical when it comes to these kind of stuff so I will probably never find out exactly which shader flag cause this. Maybe someday, if Nifscript ever get updated, we'll be able to set those flags directly when exporting. For now, I know that if I I'm making an outfit, to copy from another outfit, and if I make skin, to copy from another body.
I tried to make Archer Skeleton equip them. And it worked. But it looked silly, so I decided not to. Although, you still can select some of the skeletons and use equipitem console command, and they should wear it since I let them enabled in race selection.
Since it doesn't use anything else than Vanilla model and textures, I decided to upload it on nexus again. I don't know why I never posted my oblivion one over there. Maybe I will.
Again, it was posted on Dragonporn which is very touching because they usually only post about the best mods and I don't think mine are close to being best mods.

Again, feel free to post screenshots.
This is just too cute, may I ask what hair you are using though?
ReplyDeleteThank you :)

First, you have really amazing creations on this blog, many thanks for making them public!
ReplyDeleteI´ve been looking through your posts and got a bit shocked when I saw the picture of this post.
Might be a bit late to ask...
But how did you manage that your female character actually properly holds the bow and arrow?
Normally its totally wrong, which can be seen in these pictures:

I´d really like to know. Things like this ruin screenshots, but you did a great one :)
Hehe I haven't played with bow for a while. I draw just like in your screenshots now. I searched for a bit and found the mod in my idle and animation folder. It's from this mod: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/15703/
DeleteThere's an Optional Bow Draw files that fix it.
Thank you for your resarch.
DeleteI tryed this mod but it only changed the animations, not the actual bow and arrow position... And there isn´t a preview of the bow draw for females. Only males.
Bow for females still is too small with this mod.
I´ve even uninstalled all my my mods to see if it would conflict with something.
However, I found this topic: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/534223-female-archery-fix/page-2
There the problem is discussed. Seems the female skeleton.nif weapon scaling is rezided, so that it makes bows smaller. With the file provided on this topic, the issue is fixed for my normal, vanilla Nord character.
That doesn´t help me very much though, because I like to use Enhanced Character Edit and a skeleton compatible with Mystic Tails mod. ( Catgirl, meow :3 ). I will have to look into modifying my skeleton it seems. ECE does provide a slider to change the weapon resizing, but it resizes the arrow aswell... arrrrgh.. so the feather clips into the hand.
Need to test around with stuff now... I wish time would stop while I do this :). Such things can be very time consuming...
Thanks for your help though!
That is strange... ECE negates my skeleton edits. Works fine without ECE but then I don´t have my pretty girl lol... It´s either pretty bow animation or pretty girl unless I find a workaround. So dumb.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing I found: Proper length arrows mod. This does lengthen the arrows so it looks even better in 3rd person. The downside is, that it also lengthens them in 1st person view, which looks dumb again.

It´s funny how I spend more time modding than playing the game :) by far xD
I think you would need to modify the skeleton in YgNord folder if you're using that race with ECE since they use their own. I never really played with skeleton modification so I don't know if that would work.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about modding. I finished the game in the first 2 weeks it came out so now I mostly only make and test mods. I only actually play a few hours a month. I still have to finish Dragonborn too.
Yep, I did modify the YgNord skeleton. When starting up the game it briefly showed the changes (so it works) but reverts back to normal immediate after. To test, I increased the quiver size by 5 hehe, so when I start the game my character is barely visible under the huge quiver. But half a second later, everything is back to normal... ECE somehow overwrites skeleton edits. I also changed the ECE.esp to use a skeleton from a different directory. Same result.
DeleteMaybe disabling the right ECE sliders might work. I dunno and am getting bored of trying and failing :)
If you are interested, I figured out how to fix my little issue:
DeleteModify the skeleton:
Change the SHIELD node from 1.0000 to 1.1834.
Modify the ECE:
In Skyrim\Data\meshes\CharacterMakingExtender\commonTriRaces\
delete all but defaultRaces_slider.ini ini files. (Delete only the 5 other .ini files!)
In defaultRaces_slider.ini search a line that reads
$CME_WeaponsScale, 915, 202, WeaponDagger, 0.2, WeaponAxe, x, WeaponSword, x, WeaponMace, x, WeaponBack, x, WeaponBow, x, QUIVER, x, SHIELD, x, WEAPON, x
and add a # symbol infront of it.
Leaving the other .ini files be, but still changing the defaultRaces_slider.ini, seems to do nothing... Changing the line in each of the .ini files seems to do nothing aswell. Only deleting the other .ini files and changing the one that´s left, seems to work. I guess by deleting the files I won´t be able to use the ECE sliders for other races than humans... But who cares. Now I have a nicely alligned bow for my girl. Just like in your screenshot here :)
Hope this will help you, if you decide to re-position your bow again :)
Have a nice day!

Here is something else for you:
DeleteSome time ago I checked on Halofarm´s blog and saw his nice screenshots. I noticed his catgirl has actual fangs at her teeth. I asked if Halofarm could release the corresponding file. And he did!
Here is the post:
