[Mars One Mission!]

So here's the deal, apparently there is a dutch non-profit company that is looking to send people to mars by 2022 and landing on mars 7 months later in the year 2023. leaving close to a decade for any space craft advancements to get there sooner. The first launch will take place either late this year (Time is running out) or early next year based on their "road map to mars," that will include building materials for the Mars Rover (A.K.A Curiosity) to build a suitable habitat for humans. There will be an estimated 3 launches of this kind leading up to the launch and transport of Humans to Mars. The current estimated cost is right around the ball park of 6 billion US dollars, for a total of 13 launches over the course of the next few decades, I assume this estimate to grow over the course of time as technology advances.

Now as for the "Marsnautes," they will be selected volunteers, 2 male and 2 female passengers per flight with 10 total flights. In other words that 40 Humans to touch down on Mars. You might be thinking about how they will be getting home by now, right? Here's the hitch, they aren't coming home. In fact they will be going home, yes those 40 people will be inhabitants to Mars. As per reasons to the flight and colonization, reasons are currently unknown but one can only assume (from media outlets anyway) that it is just another leap for mankind.

If in fact this all falls into place, this could very well be the biggest turning point in Mankind's history, right along the lines of the industrial revolution or nuclear fusion. At least I think so, looking at it from a strictly scientific aspect of course. Not only will we have successfully placed a small colony on another planet, but the technological advancements could prove to be the biggest leap in space exploration and space travel. Not including the off chance we have of actually terraforming a planet.

Please feel free to discuss!

[[Sky] Custom Race issues]

Ok, well I was way off assuming you'd created the Race already.

 

There's the general Creation Kit wiki article about Races, or here's a tutorial for Creating Custom Races on Nexus. I'm sure if you search YouTube you'll find many video tutorials to help.

 

Oddly enough, I have not seen 1 on how to reate a race from scratch.

[[Sky] Custom Race issues]

There's a couple of things that are going on here that need to be addressed.

 

I fixed the texture so that it is working as it should and the tattoo is displayed ....

 

Couple of areas that need to be addressed are you need to get NifSkope so you can change the path of your meshes to the proper texture...

 

Next in the CK when you are defining your race, there are a number of places where the race is defined and the texture and mesh pathes are defined. First you have the race, then the skin is defined in the armor addon section under nakedskin(racename).

 

All the characteristics of the race need to be defined and seperated from the general character definetions or you will over write something and it will affect more than the race you are working on.

 

Your best bet at this time is to download a new race that works correctly in your game and uses the same body style that you are using. Take it apart and look at everything that race uses, nifs for hands, feet, facial features, hair, skin and then follow the same patten with how you set up your race.

 

There is a lot more to this than just editing a texture and expecting it to work.

 

At this point you have a texture that looks absolutely gorgous... It just a matter of defining it correctly in all the areas that it needs to be.

 

 

Thank you for all of your help Arion, but i think a step by step with pictures would be more benefitcial at this point.

[[Sky] Custom Race issues]

Ok so here is the deal, I have my race created all I need to do is add my custom texture and figure out how to make face presets. The problem I am having is when I change the skin of the race, it doesn't actually change. I don't know why. My skin has a custom tattoo on the lower back of the skin, which is why I believe it to not have changed sense the render window doesn't show the tattoo.

 

Any ideas what is going on? and how can i make a preset face(s)?

[[Sky] Healing Hands]

Probably by editing the spell, Maybe edit and undead to have a weakness to "Healing Hands" for more damage.

[I'm Innocent Delphine!]

I would try the following.

 

player.setrelationshiprank <RefID>;

 

<#> Used to set an NPCs disposition towards the player. <#> = 1-4 Note: If this doesn't help when attempting to add Follower dialogue, try setrelationshiprank <RefID> <#> then player.setrelationshiprank <RefID> <#>.

Well i got it unwrapped... Now for the gimp part... Fun times!

[Radeon vs. Nvidia]

Ok so I have run into some fan boys of Nvidia and for some reason they hate me for being a fan girl of Radeon. So lets have a fun little descussion on who thinks what is better.

 

I'll stick by my Radeon card anyday, as well as my future upgrade (Radeon 7990) because quite simply they are the best. All none informative side show anticts aside. I prefer Radeon because they are good at doing one thing, blazing on high settings for a game. From what I understand Nvidia seems to be more of a Graphics Design type card.

 

Ok now you go

^^ that indeed. according to the EULA, we don't own the games on steam.

Most games are like. Just because you buy it doesn't mean that you "own" it, just the privlidge of being able to play it.

It seems odd to me that they were kind of left out... But maybe we can get them in finally!

[[SKY]-[REQ] Valkyrie Race Mod.]

I tried it once... But creating textures and presences is not my strong point sadly

[[SKY]-[REQ] Valkyrie Race Mod.]

Well according to a Wiki page...

"In Norse mythology, a valkyrie (from Old Norse valkyrja "chooser of the slain") is one of a host of female figures who decide which soldiers die in battle and which live. Selecting among half of those who die in battle (the other half go to the goddess Freyja's afterlife field Fólkvangr), the valkyries bring their chosen to the afterlife hall of the slain, Valhalla, ruled over by the god Odin. There, the deceased warriors become einherjar. When the einherjar are not preparing for the events of Ragnarök, the valkyries bear them mead. Valkyries also appear as lovers of heroes and other mortals, where they are sometimes described as the daughters of royalty, sometimes accompanied by ravens, and sometimes connected to swans or horses.

Valkyries are attested in the Poetic Edda, a book of poems compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources; the Prose Edda and Heimskringla (by Snorri Sturluson), and Njáls saga, a Saga of Icelanders, all written in the 13th century. They appear throughout the poetry of skalds, in a 14th century charm, and in various runic inscriptions.

The Old English cognate terms wælcyrge and wælcyrie appear in several Old English manuscripts, and scholars have explored whether the terms appear in Old English by way of Norse influence, or reflect a tradition also native among the Anglo-Saxon pagans. Scholarly theories have been proposed about the relation between the valkyries, the norns, the dísir, Germanic seeresses, and shieldmaidens. Archaeological excavations throughout Scandinavia have uncovered amulets theorized as depicting valkyries. In modern culture, valkyries have been the subject of works of art, musical works, video games and poetry."

(Information sited http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valkyrie)

As fas as information goes, that should cover you.

For the ingame stuff though, I'm looking to have the race more geared for Melee comabt, with heavy armor. I image two handed or sheild and sword/axe forsome racial stuf as well as buff to over all health and stamina (maybe like 20 or 30 points when starting a new charecter) For the racial spell I would say maybe a spell called Battle Cry/ Odin Fury (Spell gives the player a 30 second burst of 100 health and stamina, May only be used once per day).

Appearane should be almost Angelic yet still have that tough look about them, like nords. Having a Valkyrie companion would be cool to (maybe have her waiting about in Savengard). So to some it up, looking for a very powerful looking women who is also easy on the eyes.

(And cookies for whom ever can make a presences like me!)

[[SKY]-[REQ] Valkyrie Race Mod.]

I was wondering if someone could create a Valkyrie race mod. Maybe with some Companions with it as well. Anyways, I think it woud be really neat to see them in the game. If you have any questions let me know!

[Hello my fellow modders!]

Thanks, I have been struggling with that on another mod site.

[3D Craftworks: Importing Weapons into Skyrim]

This may not be the right thread to ask this but, I seem to be getting an error when I import a .nif into Blender. I am trying to import a vinilla sword and alter it, but I am getting a block error for BSInvMarker. Do you know what that could be?
