-How to change those dark textures (canopy shadows?) on the landscape?
And why some texures don't apply in certain cells, making those sharp borders between types of textures? How to overcome that?

Examine http://www.shrani.si/?43/vG/3CtMtPg2/terrain.png picture, for instance ...
Anyone?

-Also, how can i tweak CS to show more than 5x5 cells. I know it's ugridstoload, but when i change it to higher value, it doesn't apply, it just goes back to 5. I restarted CS, but it doesn't help.

all animations will work on all races (except for tail animations won't work on non-beast races).
Pacific Morrowind

it does nok work on my breton woman, but maybe there's something wrong with my conditions hehe
are you sure pacific also if its unique animations?

Idles defined under the "Characteres\_male" entry are usable by all playable races ( except for those with tails )

the Dance under "Characteres\_male" Called SeDance did not work on my breton Female and i did the exact same thing as for my imperial, i'm sorry to repost this but i'm quite sure

Make sure the calling actor fulfills all of the idle's conditions. Better still, make one and follow the tutorial I previously posted.

I made it work with a imperial using the exact same conditions
a Getisid
and getdistance

ofcourse changed to the proper references but it did not work with the breton


nevermind, there's no idea in discussing this

How do I make my mod take values from an Ini file I made myself?

Take a http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?s=&showtopic=992755&view=findpost&p=14507919

Thanks

Edit: Can someone look this over for me? It gives me a "max nesting of 10 exceeded" Error

Nesting is when you have a condition within a condition (or loop within a loop). I'm getting the feeling that Oblivion won't handle more than 10 nested conditions.
OBSE removes some annoying things like this but I couldn't confirm.

You can reduce the amount of nesting required by sticking some things on the same line

If Choice2 == 0 && Tree11 == 0	If Player.GetItemCount TalentToken > 0		AddFullEffectItem SHLD 5 0 0 0 RetributionAura		Player.RemoveItem TalentToken 1		Set Tree11 to Tree11 +1		Set TalentTree1 to TalentTree1 + 1		Set RedTalentTokenActivated to 0		Return	Else		Message "You Require a point to learn talents"		Set RedTalentTokenActivated to 0		Return	EndifElseif Choice2 == 0 && Tree11 != 0	Message "You already have this talent"	Set RedTalentTokenActivated to 0	ReturnElseif Choice2 == 1 && Tree12 == 0	If Player.GetItemCount TalentToken > 0		Player.AddSpell PaladinSealCommand		Player.RemoveItem TalentToken 1		Set Tree12 to Tree12 + 1		Set TalentTree1 to TalentTree1 + 1		Set RedTalentTokenActivated to 0		Return	Else		Message "You Require a point to learn talents"		Set RedTalentTokenActivated to 0		Return	EndifElseif Choice2 == 1 && Tree12 != 0	Message "You already have this talent"	Set RedTalentTokenActivated to 0	Returnetc.Endif

Thanks for your help,but I fixed it by making a quest,then removing the line that checks if a player has the token. Reduced 3 lines to 1 there

Hi
i was just wondering, is there any way to make the MiddleBrewer01, to a activator, its mesh is not being unpacked when i unpack the BSA folder Meshes.
what do i do?

I am trying to make an NPC use the 'preaching' animation such as the one the Prophet uses quite frequently in the Knights of the Nine, but even after extensive examination of his AI, dialogue, and scripts, I cannot find how to call on this animation. Any suggestions?

http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Forcing_Idle_Animations this tutorial can tell you more, the animation is not a package but is called Idle Animations

Can someone please answer this?

Press 'H' in the CS to open the landscape editor. Check the box beside "Edit Colours", the box on the left shows the colour that your left mouse button paints, and the one on the right shows the colour that your right mouse button paints. Understand?


This is done by changing the CS .ini file.
Change

uExterior Cell Buffer=32

to something like

uExterior Cell Buffer=64

You are only allowed a limited number of textures per quad (I think it is 4).

You must have missed it. It is in the BSA in Meshes/Furniture/BarSet/MiddleBrewer01. (I've just extracted it)

Is it possible to give arrows an effect that executes when they hit anything (such as a wall), rather than only when they hit some creature or NPC? I'm thinking exploding arrows or arrows that give off light.

Yes. You'll need to track them, figure out collision and do whatever you want to do. This http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Running_Scripts_On_Arrows will help you get started.

Hey, a while back I tried my hand at messing around with weather, using one of NE's as a base to see if I could recreate it so I could learn the steps. However after changing all the values in the Weather tab the color in the distance was off. I made sure everything was exact. What I think may be wrong is that NE uses a color replacer. If this is what caused the color difference and if so how do I make a color replacer?

i would like to know how to Add canopy shadows

Thanks, that's what I needed. The script developed in that tutorial works as I need to, but I'm having a bit of trouble getting my end of the script to do what I need. I've never touched a script before. I'm just trying to have the arrow create an explosion when it hits something, then disappear. The disappearing is working, but I'm unsure as to how to create an explosion. I tried creating an explosion spell (a simple Fire Damage Touch spell with an Area, with the checkbox ticked that makes it fire even when there is no Touch target) and using the Cast command. However, Cast wants a target for the spell and I'm not sure what to use there. I tried using trigRef for a target, as it should refer to the arrow itself, but that doesn't work.

There are a lot of things a bit makeshift about the way I went about this and I'm sure one or more of them are wrong. Can I use a pre-made Spell for this effect or do I need to make a script version of an explosion somehow?

Press 'H' in the CS to open the landscape editor. Check the box beside "Edit Colours", the box on the left shows the colour that your left mouse button paints, and the one on the right shows the colour that your right mouse button paints. Paint a grey colour to achieve a shadow effect.
