Mudcrab corpses weigh a ton? What value controls this? : V

Apparently, wolves are much lighter than even the smallest mudcrab. What vaule controls how heavy a dead body is?

Hmm, not sure. But a decapitated Head seems to still have a body attacthed.

If I had ot guess I would say it's in the nif. In previous games there werent any settings I can think of that determined havok weight. But I'm just kind of blindly guessing here. :shrug:

Perhaps one of the below:

fZKeyComplexHelperMinDistance
fZKeyComplexHelperScale
fZKeyComplexHelperWeightMax
fZKeyComplexHelperWeightMin
fZKeyHeavyWeight
fZKeyMaxContactDistance
fZKeyMaxContactMassRatio
fZKeyMaxForce
fZKeyMaxForceScaleHigh
fZKeyMaxForceScaleLow
fZKeyMaxForceWeightHigh
fZKeyMaxForceWeightLow
fZKeyObjectDamping
fZKeySpringDamping
fZKeySpringElasticity

Probably something with the .nif. I don't see anything the the npc record that seems related. Oh well, only a minor annoyance.

Are these GMSTs? If they are they'd probably effect all the NPC's. I was hoping to just make the mudcrabs a bit lighter. You can barely drag them anywhere.

you're right however, this should absolutely be changed.

An optional inside Grab Moveable Statics allows you to move bodies easier... Should helP with your problem...
Or you could look into that ESP and see what he changed

Thanks, I'll give it a look over sometime.

The weight is controlled by the skeleton.nif which is inside:
meshes\actors\mudcrab\character assets

You can check out some mods that lift strength that:

and of course there's the problem that I can blast a dragon skeleton up to dawnstar from helgen with a single fireball and not being able to lift a mudcrab

Your dragon skeletons have collison?

Lol, really. I've never gotten a decap. (Mage here. :tongue:

Go to Solitude. There's an execution there and you can test that theory on the head there.

Heavier than a Troll arm.
