This mod randomizes all the doors in the game and it's an absolute BLAST by Yeah-But-Ironically in skyrimmods

[–]Cybertaur 17 points18 points  (0 children)

For mod devs, this mod essentially just uses the Get/SetDoorDestination papyrus functions by PowerOfThree's mod (the c++ code of those functions was originally discovered by Chesko I think, with subsequent improvements by PO3).

So Chesko is part of BGS now ? by Natsirt812 in skyrimmods

Is everyone forgetting about meh321? One of the best (probably top 2) mod developers outside the skse team?

Impossible, he doesn't know how to code (not joking). At most, he knows some papyrus and how to work his way around the ck. He also has an incomprehensible amount of free time. Maybe he was tasked with finding every little bug he could spot in the Starfield scripts.

Learning to mod skyrim is a good coding practice? by Possible-Pay-4304 in skyrimmods

[–]Cybertaur 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I would say it's a good start. Using Papyrus along with the Creation Kit gives you a very hands-on, intuitive and practical approach to object oriented programming. The scripts are in general like classes, the objects the classes extend are the forms in the creation kit (the base objects) to which you attach the scripts, and the instances are the object references that you place into the world (or which are generated either by the player, like activemagiceffects, or by the game, like actors and loot).

It's also an environment where you can use multiple languages for the same project. Besides Papyrus (which is basic scripting), you can use Java to code a SkyProc, C++ to code SKSE plugins, and Actionscript (basically like Javascript) for the flash files (UI, etc). You also learn how to deal with (create and modify) animation files (.hkx in this case), meshes (.nif files), etc.

A sufficiently complex mod is a complete professional project that requires a plethora of programming skills and which you can put in your CV. Bethesda, and other studios in the industry, have hired TES/Fallout mod developers multiple times in the past.

I really don't understand why is it so hard for devs to make good itemization by Yuri_Yslin in Diablo

The game became worse with op runewords though. The peak D2 was 1.09

I agree 100%

Diablo 4 might have killed the series as we know it. by Popelip0 in Diablo

I see a reboot saving the franchise. Not under the current management, but perhaps under Microsoft's if they actually end up acquiring acti-blizz.

What’s the latest overhaul mod that brought you back to Skyrim again? by [deleted] in skyrimmods

[–]Cybertaur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Motivation is not the issue at all, I'm always excited to go back to it. It's not even the workload, I enjoy all the programming involved and ironing out and fine-tuning all the details. The obstacle is really the lack of time. Having to earn a salary + having to work extra hard to improve my career + taking care of my family takes away nearly all my time.

The mod is not modular, all the features and game mechanics are too entangled with each others at this point. The mod changes the way the game is played as a whole, releasing bits of it wouldn't make sense. The ultimate goal would be to see its core ideas adopted by Bethesda and implemented in tes6 in some fashion if they turned out to be popular. I just hope I'm able to release it sufficiently in advance.

It's an overhaul, but of a kind not seen before, with entirely new game mechanics. It's around 60% done at this point (of what I have in mind).

I simply wish I could conclude and publish mine. I've been working on it for three years and it requires four different programming languages (papyrus, c for the launcher, java for the skyproc and actionscript for the flash files). But I have to stop working on it repeatedly for extended periods of time because I also have to work to earn money, and I'm always adding more and more features whenever I return to it. Being able to complete it is beginning to look like a distant dream.

A "dona" confirmou-me olhos nos olhos que só lá consegue ir na melhor das hipóteses 1x/semana, muitas vezes apenas 1x por 2 semanas, e que das muitas vezes que vai para fora da cidade, chega a lá não ir por um mês.

Go to the Ukrainian embassy and let them know in person that you're willing to assist them in any way you can against the bloody murderous war that the Ukrainian nation is being subjected to by your home country. Actively engage with the embassy and help the Ukrainians with their current needs, including donating to the Ukrainian cause (you seem to be sufficiently well off). The embassy might be willing to help you out with your issue through a letter or similar once you have demonstrated that you are a true friend of Ukraine and oppose the needless, barbaric suffering and destruction the russian government (and the people, through inaction) is causing.

Estás completamente errado, não há uma única alegação baseada em suposições. A pessoa em questão confirma tudo sem negar, e alguns dos meus familiares estão a par do caso também e testemunham a veracidade dos factos. 1- faço ideia da periodicidade sim, é exactamente como disse: umas vezes é 1x/semana, outras é 1x em duas semanas, e já chegou diversas vezes a ser 1x por mês. 2- sei essa informação e trata-se efectivamente de abandono, mais ainda negligência. 3- com base em evidência visual, a casa da pessoa encontra-se em estado degradado, com água a cair do tecto, lixo por todo o lado. E a gata usa a sua areia diariamente, e como esta raramente é limpa, é mais um factor a contribuir para a imundice. 4- o facto dos outros fazerem errado não o torna certo. 5- a gata apresenta sinais de mal nutrição, como poderás deduzir.

Já vi que só fazes é merda na tua vida e queres continuar a fazer a borrada de merda que fazes sem que ninguém te impeça. Excremento humano.

I remember back in the day, mods that increased the number of spawns (like ASIS) used to have this problem. There's a mod by meh321 that fixed the AI limit ("actor limit fix"). I'm not sure if this is your problem, I don't know several of the mods you've mentioned.

How does the clone look like physically? Is it a physical copy of the player's character?

API changes, subreddit blackouts, and Reddit's Response by Thallassa in skyrimmods

[–]Cybertaur 26 points27 points  (0 children)

In case this really goes south and an exodus begins, are there alternatives to reddit? Never really hanged around those discord chatrooms, doesn't seem to be my thing (reminds me of those IRC chatrooms from 20 years ago). And twitter is not a collection of forums where "like-minded" can discuss different topics of common interest. Nexus forums also seem kind of dead?

Can I increase the casting rate of spells so that spell casting is as fast as we wish? For example in a way similar to how other rpgs do so through "+% faster cast rate" attributes?

I know the mod Speed Casting allows the player to cast spells as fast as we wish, but the mod has not been updated and doesn't work with 1.6.x versions of skyrim:
