[RELz] Magnum Opus - The Ultimate Alchemy Expansion

Post » Wed May 16, 2012 6:03 pm

Earlier this morning, I released the proof of concept version of Magnum Opus, the ultimate alchemy expansion. Here's some information about the mod:

From the creator of seven of the most endorsed files of all time on The Witcher Nexus comes http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1859, the ultimate alchemy expansion for Skyrim. Magnum Opus is presently available as an initial proof of concept release. Your feedback is appreciated!

CURRENT FEATURES

  • Distillation: Use the Cooking Spit to distill 226 potions into 57 pure alchemical essences. Use essences as specialized ingredients to create other potions.

  • New Potions: Use the Fortify Alchemy line to develop even better potions. [Note: In the initial proof of concept release, I forgot to add a way for you to acquire or craft these potions. You can use the console to search for the Fortify Alchemy line of potions named Alchemist's Potion, Alchemist's Draught, Alchemist's Philter, and Alchemist's Elixir.]

  • New Potion Names: All Fortify Skill potions have been renamed to facilitate sorting. For example, "Potion of the Knight" is now "Knight's Potion."

  • Updated Potion Effects: Fortify Enchanting potions have received significant improvements.
COMING SOON

  • Conversion: Use the Cooking Spit to combine some number of lesser potions into some number of greater potions.

  • Recipe Conditions: Recipes will eventually be made available only if you have a certain Alchemy skill level or specific perks.
KNOWN ISSUES

  • Magnum Opus uses the Cooking Spit. I've been unable to find the KYWD for the Alchemy Lab. I've looked, and looked, and looked, but I can't find it. If anyone has discovered this information, please let me know.

  • Essences are categorized as Misc in the Cooking Spit crafting menu. All essences use the VendorItemIngredient keyword. They should be in the Ingredients category, but they're not. Please let me know why. (I think I edited the wrong bytes.)

  • Essences can be crafted at the Smelter. This is probably related to the above.
VERSION HISTORY

0.1: Initial release. Proof of concept.
You can download the mod http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1859. Please let me know if you find any bugs. I'm also interested in feedback related to what you'd like to see in future versions, or better ways to do things.

Really liking the preliminary version here. I can't say I'll be using it a lot until you figure out how to make it use the alchemy equipment though. Using the cooking spit kills the immersion for me.
