And yet another and a warm welcome to the alliance

hm - if you intend to use scripts i think you want to call MoveTo on the actor. p.s. Oh well - Schatten just beat me to it

Welcome to the Alliance Scythe - more for you

Seriously? I have to agree with echo here - its not anymore about what is feasible and possible but about get out there and do it. By now we have gathered so much information but we dont know anything at all about actually doing it. Explorers on earth where not prepared for different climates and living conditions either and they still just did it - many died of course but others learned from those errors and improved the next attempt. I would actually volunteer immediately - its not about perfection at this stage but about getting out there finally. We still havnt even tried to set anything up on the moon which would be a starting point. Trying to simulate on earth will just give us so much information to delay further instead of actually having people trying it.

hello everyone, as there has been a bit of confusion as of the licensing of 3ds max i thought i post this little guide how it works legally correct. First i like to explain the difference of the trial and the student versions here: Autodesk offers free 30-day trials for their software. These trials are meant for evaluation purposes only - not meant for any kind of production at all. Additionally Autodesk offers so called student-licenses. These licenses are usually full featured products with a license duration and specific limitations to what kind of support you are eligable to get for it. They are limited to educational usage and not meant for any kind of commercial work or payed-for results. The license you would like to use as a modder for non-commercial, educational usage is of course a student license. Recent updates to the licensing text have caused some kind of misunderstanding as for some countries the educational license requires you to be I am not going to tell you how to work around or fulfill these requirements. If you feel you dont fit into this category then you can still work with the trial and follow this procedure here to renew the license for your trial when its about to expire. Head over to the autodesk website There have been recent changes in both design and structure to the website - dont get confused yet. The area you want to register in is found in 'Communities' - select 'Students & Educators'. You will see 'Free software for students' - select 'Popular' and from there 3ds max Follow the steps to register or sign in In the section 'Select the free software you want' you want to select 3dsmax 2012 for your OS and language Why 2012? The existing nif-plugins work fine with 2012 and wont work with 2013 and newer versions yet.

Dont know if you caught it still in the shoutbox: But you should make sure that the equipment you are trying to put on that 'transformed' char is eligable for that kind of race. So it would have to be active in the armorAddon part in the section additonal races - it has to be enabled for those vampire races - whatever they are called in dawnguard. I assume the vampire lord is a special race probably since its a transformation with wings and stuff.

Add some debug lines at each step to produce output in your log so you can follow at which step the script isnt executing as wanted. When it works you can still remove those or comment them out

If i am not mistaken there is probably a declaration of pDLC1nVampireNecklaceGargoyle in the original script, right? So you would need to declare the same for your cloak

You mention quads and weird in one sentence - but for anything organic quads is the choice you would like to go for. The extra vertex compared to triangles makes moving and bending the mesh a lot smoother including the attached textures. I see the point for an engine to reduce number of vertexes to the absolute necessary - so using triangles for the majority of architecture and static stuff is the way to go. But since you introduced your 'person' dont you think you might need to consider the usage of quads as well?

Allright - i am on it. Loadscreen nifs are being worked on.

Excellent choice of sound for the dark setting. I generally liked it a lot and it makes me curious - but it could probably be a little bit shorter since its only a trailer
