hi,

thx so much for this tool!

if you have some error with localized string, be sure you have edit skyedit.ini

;------------------------------------------------------------------------------; String File Options;------------------------------------------------------------------------------;; Set the language of string files (.STRINGS, .DLSTRINGS, .ILSTRINGS) to load; when loading a mod file with localized strings. The mod filename format is; expected to have the format:;;			Filename_LANGUAGE.Strings;StringFileLanguage = English

change english to your language! my spell mod won't work wihtout right localized files.

The structure of .esm .esp files are fully known?

We're http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Tes5Mod:Mod_File_Format but probably at only 20% or less of the overall format. Some of it is close enough to Oblivion's data we can get a head start but others are completely unknown and probably will be until the CK is released next month.

Thanks for this! I haven't done anything very productive yet (of either the mod-making or bug-finding sort), but it seems to work great. Made a small racial ability mod without any issues.

Um, I'm trying to add an additional feature to the Frost/Flame/Lightning Cloak spells but I don't know what to do. I'm trying to add an extra effect that adds +1 armor for each point in Destruction magic. Does anyone have any idea what to do??

Ahh, makes sense. After experimenting I can see the bulk of the info lies with the MagicEffects. Thanks again for this tool! Hope you succeed with whatever you're deciphering next.

@RayDawg: that sounds implausible based on how Magnitudes are determined. You should add armor based on perks or on every 25 skill points instead.

Ouch. In that case, what about adding a set amount of armor similar to the "--flesh" spells in the alteration line?

Edit: Also, what do I modify to change the max level cap to be 80 instead of 81 and what do I modify to allow me to start with 1 perk point at level 1 and select 1 attribute upgrade?

Edit 2: It seems that when unchecking auto-calculate, all my spells aren't affected by the relevant cost reduction perks. Damage works fine though.

Try replicating some of the effects found in the -flesh spells into the Cloak spells.

I don't think you can change perk points or things like that with SkyEdit. That sounds more like Script Dragon or SKSE.

That's odd; my auto-calculate works fine with spell-cost altering perks.

i might be completely off regarding this to begin with, but how would i use the "equip slots" effectively?

say i am currently holding a left hand spell and a right hand sword.
next i intend to equip a dagger set to the left hand slot, exchanging the spell, without succes.
no matter what manner of combinations i attempt with the "right/left/either hands" slots, dagger goes into right hand. every time. it's like the spell is glued stuck in that left hand of mine.


any...thoughts? they would be appreciated!

Just wanted to report a "bug" -- there are some game settings missing, such as fArmorPCBase, fMagicCasterPCSkillCostMult, fMagicDualCastingCostBase, fMagicDualCastingEffectivenessBase, and fMagicDualCastingTimeBase. I don't think those are the only ones. Here's a list someone compiled that may or may not be complete (I suspect it is not) but it does include a number of missing settings: http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3635
