Thanks will do that

I used to get something similar with an earlier release, and have now started seeing it again. Not purple spell effects, but green. I'd just spoken to Ocheeva after being recruited in the DB and everyone in the Sanctuary was affected by an illusion spell as soon as I  left the conversation with Ocheeva. In the top left-hand corner of my screen was a message. It repeated every 5 or so seconds.

Here's an image I managed to grab.

I exited to adjust my load order as it reminded me of a similar issue with Streamline when I first installed that. The recommendation was to load Streamline after other mods that change spell icons, as close to the end of the load order as possible. I've now done that with this one, but haven't gone back in to check if the problem is still happening.

Here's my current load order.

I'll re-download, see if the recent changes have helped. If not, I shall return

By the way, is it normal for the corpses to cry out when I pick them up and drop them? It made me think they weren't dead after all, just sleeping

I have such a slow connection tonight so really haven't looked through many screenshots.

My favourite one, though has to be this one!

Zombie / Treetop you may want to check the texture path on the sorceress armour you wearing there as it looks wrong. If it's Mystikstar's blue sorcess armour the assignment of the texturename on the mesh is mis-spelt. EDIT a bit like my spelling in this post

Can you link to the image. I'd hate to think I got something wrong. I prefer things to be perfect before releasing

My newish character Lori, made for Shivering Isles. I think we're about Level 8.







Lori and Lara.






After being inspired by Slof's wigs and the Babe hair I'm currently working on one of my own

I had run out of names, myself, but in my new job I handle client files and there are some nice names that I come across, so I've written them down and use them for new characters. My new one is Coralie

Posted by MystykStar on 20 May 2007 - 07:01 AM in Oblivion Screenshot Archives

Coralie outside Fort Variela wearing yet another retextured Sorceress outfit. This time it's chain.


Outside the Imperial Prison


This is what happens when two mods are merged yet one is not activated
An improvement, though.

Those of us that use Photobucket and Imageshack could do thumbnails. I tried to show people how to do it in the first thread but it didnt catch on.

Thumbnails are around 1kb for my shots while full size is about 1.5mb each

I can do that, if it helps. I usually use the upload feature, but don't mind the thumbnail feature from Imageshack.

I voted Yes. Usually I load the page up, go make a coffee, let the cat out/in, see what's on TV later tonight, load up the CS and have just finished furnishing the house when all the images have loaded and the page says Done I'm on broadband (256/64) and it's slow loading most times.
Then again, my connection is dropping out a fair bit tonight so it could just be our weather.

An image or two with the rest links sounds alright, also.

<snippety>

What is that thing on her head? The things on her hands look as if they are from Sloths Goth Shop...so am presuming that's where those almost glow-in-the-dark accessories are from? Do they come in purple I like purple.

One screenshot. Didn't really have to the chance to play today... spent most of the day sleeping.

Screenshot - Dawn is breaking. Greet the new day.
<snip the picture>

That's a nice sunrise. As well as your post below that one on the dragon flying into the sunset.

<snip>
Stretching in the sun.

Mi'riah shows up later.

I like Mi'riah I haven't seen her for a while, not since the beauty contest on TESF, anyway.

I have always liked your wines
<snip>

Because of the wig and the dress and from what I can see of her, she reminds me of Jane Seymour from that old show Dr Quinn Medicine Woman That used to be my favourite show back then
In the one titled Your life wasn't worth much to begin with she looks a bit like Christina Applegate Well, you've an interesting, intriguing character nonetheless

Re-uploaded the files as Kaelis pointed out a major error I didn't even notice. A missing texture. The all-important purple one

Posted by MystykStar on 15 May 2007 - 06:05 PM in Oblivion Screenshot Archives

Mystyk: Nice Breton there. I imagined one Breton my character met in a TES Forum RP to look just like that! Give her to me! XD

She's an Imperial. I only made her to test out a shop I made, but as all my creations need to be presentable before exiting the sewers, I got a good face while using the randomise button and decided to keep her - and do the tutorial dungeon. That was very dull, btw. Oddly she looks better with no facial texture packs. I've since changed her hair as well. It just looks as if she took the knot out as I kept it short.
I don't have a clear image but lately she's been having issues with her face. It's very pale with clearly defined cheeks...as if she's been using her mother's make-up kit I tried changing the tone a few times but it just went all splotchy.
If anyone has ever imported a FaceGen file onto a mystic elf savegame that is almost the level of paleness she has.

Thanks for the PM's regarding the purple sorceress retexture. Hopefully any issues can be fixed and then I'll upload it.

@MystykStar: Yep, it's Mystique, she's quite the contrast to the other two ladies, both in height and skin tone, but she's still so purdy.
I like your new character, especially in the second shot.

I noticed she was rather taller than the other two in front of Martin I need to load her back up again and use her instead of cheating by creating a random NPC, dropping them in the world then using Companion Share & Recruit to pick them up. They're like robots, whereas Mystique speaks to me

For Daisy, the newie, I've activated the Bab body mod (and deactivated Exnem) and found some nice dresses for her. It's extremely laggy in one of the shops so I had to buy in bulk before leaving as I know I won't go back.

Chiglet that wardrobe malfunction looks horrible As the back of the skirt is pinky purple isn't that a missing mesh? I tried to make the folder structure as easy as possible. Wading through 6 sub-directories to get to the mesh or texture is no fun
If you haven't already, download and try the Amazon Armor purple retex. If the same thing happens (invisibility) then it must be the texture.

Request - If anyone is proficient with textures and Nifskope can someone please help us out with the Purple Sorceress outfit retex? Chiglet picked up a problem and I don't know what's causing it. It works fine for me so I don't know what it could be, or maybe if I've done something. I'm sure I made and saved them all the same way so...*shrug* (Bring back the shrug emoticon )
If a volunteer could send me a PM and I'll forward the link to the file on my website.

Soul_Slayer, is that blonde elf who I think it is? Nice to see her out 'n about.
After 5 clicks of the randomise button, then 10 minutes, or so, to touch up I produced what I think to be a good result.
I have a bit of a backstory in my head for her as she reminded me of someone from a book I read.

File Name: MystykStar's Sorceress Outfit Retexture (Animal Print)
File Submitter: MystykStar
File Submitted: 14 May 2007
File Updated: 23 Jun 2007
File Category: Models/Textures

An animal print retexture of Exnem's Sorceress Outfit.

To use simply put MystykSorceressPrint.esp and the Meshes and Textures folders in your Oblivion Data directory. If asked to overwrite do so. The following folders will be added...
Meshes/Clothing/MystykStar
Textures/Clothing/MystykStar

The most important part, where to find the outfit. It's more fun to go out into the world to acquire something rather than teleporting over to the testing hall and picking it up for free and with minimal effort.

Outside the Bravil Stables is that signpost under a tree on the crossroad. There you will find a tombstone. Another unlucky Sorceress has met her death and certainly doesn't need it anymore.

Conflicts:
If you have previously downloaded any of my other Sorceress outfits you won't be able to use all of them together. I found out the hard way they all use the same Form ID, so you're going to have to pick one.
I'm working on combining them all into one mod, including the various Amazon Armors, so when that's finished all outfits can be used at the same time.

Credits:
Big thanks to Exnem for his fantastic body mod, armor and outfits that are fun to recolour, not that there's anything wrong with the originals

If there are any problems or questions feel free to email me as I don't come here very often. Find me on TESF for a faster response.

PS: A shop that sells all my retexes will be available shortly.

I have moved a bit further along. Been to the warehouse, and am still trying to wrangle my way into the Blacklake District. After making some bad choices (I allowed Neeshka to steal some stuff and Khelgar wasn't happy ) I now realise I'm supposed to be playing a Lawful Good Paladin. Not a recommended class for someone who often likes to clean out all the cities in Cyrodiil (Oblivion). I forgot I was supposed to be good in this game

After I hear back from two people I will upload the Purple Sorceress one. I want to make sure it works this time

Posted by MystykStar on 10 May 2007 - 02:44 AM in Oblivion Modding Discussion

Well, getting it ingame and playable, I think is the most annoying part. What do want to know how to do? Or toss me a PM.

By the weekend I'll try to get the others uploaded. I sent the purple sorceress outfit to another member who is away at the moment. I don't really want to upload that one until s/he has tested it out. S/he picked up a major error initially, so I'm glad I sent it to someone instead of making it widely available straight away.

I based the blue one off of that so hopefully the invisible armor is now fixed...I assume so as there have been no complaints so far
I'll also get the Amazon armor into the world, via a tombstone like the others. I just need to find a suitable location related to the colour of the outfit/armor. I wanted to put the blue one in a lake, or up in the snow but I couldn't find the exact area in the CS that I wanted as it's out in the boonies and I can't remember any landmarks nearby.

Pyro on TESF did some really nice red recolours and so red will be another colour I'll do as I can see it looks really good. I could put that one on an Oblivion plane I'll figure it out.

[Edit] I assume double-posting is bad everywhere so I'll tack on these images to the end of this post.
Just done a pastel blue, which I named Celestial Blue after the texture. In daylight it looks a little shiny The details on the gloves turned out right, though. Not really happy with the beige colour, or the colour of the snakes. The gold bit on the loincloth I just now fixed to blend in better. It's usually that and the undies underneath the loincloth that I forget to do. The blue texture didn't really turn out too good, a bit flat. It has stars and comets but they only can be seen right up close, maybe because the original was much darker, almost the opposite of what is shown here. I changed the colouring in Photoshop.

Jane The Tester is the model for today.

This outfit may go alright with Pepsi's new Ice Katana. I'll try that on the weekend if I can get the file to download.

:: Cough ::



Trying to conceal pictures within a cough doesn't work so well

There are people who just slap a pretty texture on an existing outfit and hope for the best. *Raises hand* Then there are those who pop out of nowhere with something fancy and pretty that probably took them 10 minutes to make. *Points above and is jealous*
They look so nice, are you thinking of sharing
My excuse is I'm still learning. I may never be a Slof but I will get better over time

Posted by MystykStar on 09 May 2007 - 05:59 AM in Oblivion Modding Discussion

Now that I've partially-released the blue version of the Sorceress Outfit as well as the purple Amazon armor, assuming there is nothing weird with them, are there any other colours I should add? I can do the entire rainbow
Sure many of you around here could probably do it yourself, and some have, but it may be handy for those who wouldn't have a clue where to start.
Over time I'll most likely learn how to do other things such as add fancy details.

I can't play the game for long periods of time these days, so spend more time in the Construction Set.
If you've any suggestions for other colours, improvements, something different I may be able to learn quickly and implement let me know.
