Vorstellung Footprints

wahlweise mit Dawnguard oder SKSE

Spoiler: Diese Mod sorgt für Fussabdrücke von Menschen und einigen anderen Kreaturen im Schnee.

1. All humanoid (non-creature) NPCs
2. Bear, Deer, Draugr, Falmer, Hagravens, Horses, Sabrecats, Skeletons, Wolves, Giants, Mammoths, Spriggans, Cows, Goats, Trolls, Skeevers, and Werewolves.

Footprints by jonwd7

v0.99 2/8/2013
==============================================================================

Adds footprints to the player, NPCs, and creatures. Initial release contains
snow footprints for the player/NPCs and a subset of the creatures. Sand and
mud prints will be added in later releases. See below for what is currently
implemented as well as future plans.

** SKSE and all DLC features are OPTIONAL, if you do not have these, the mod
will disable these features automatically and seamlessly. **

** Requires Skyrim version 1.8.151.0.7 or higher **


==============================================================================
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
==============================================================================
Q: "How long do the footprints last?"
A: They are decals so how many decals are placed before disappearing is defined
by your INI file decal settings. See the Technical Section below for INI edits.

Q: "Is there a performance/FPS hit?"
A: It will likely depend on your system and how many script-intensive mods
you have already installed.
A: I see no performance impact whatsoever.
See: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/articles/291/

Q: "Is it compatible with Dawnguard, Dragonborn, or ________ mod?"
A: It supports Dawnguard races as of 0.7. It supports Dragonborn as of 0.99.
It is also inherently compatible with any mod. It is self contained and doesn't
touch vanilla races or NPCs.

Q: "Do you support custom races?"
A: My mod will attach footprints to ANY humanoid races, as long as they use
the humanoid skeleton and the mod properly defines the race as "ActorTypeNPC".


==============================================================================
CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTED
==============================================================================
1. All humanoid (non-creature) NPCs
2. Bear, Deer, Draugr, Falmer, Hagravens, Horses, Sabrecats, Skeletons, Wolves,
Giants, Mammoths, Spriggans, Cows, Goats, Trolls, Skeevers, and Werewolves.
3. Race-switching support for player character. Shape Shifter mods should work
fine given I have the prints implemented for the race in question.
4. Dawnguard and Dragonborn support. Disables itself if you do not have these.
5. Boot detection support. Needs SKSE, but will disable itself if you
do not have SKSE. Currently only barefoot or shoe prints.
6. Particle FX
7. Stafing support for playable characters.

New in 0.99

1. Dragonborn support. **Snow only** Ash material / Solstheim support will be
released in a supplemental package.
2. Barefoot textures reintroduced.
3. Textures redone for better realism. All textures now have the same visual
style.
4. All textures now have a slight transparency to help with terrain blending.
5. Special prints for Arvak, incl. Fire particle FX. The fire FX will be
optional and include a few colors in a separate package.
6. Bugfix: Wards / shields no longer activate on NPCs (i.e. the "blue swirlies")
7. Bugfix: Fixed a typo which caused an error when applying spells to Daedra.
8. Optimization: The script which adds footsteps effects should spend
significantly less time on Actors which already have an effect or are unsupported.


** See Changelog below for more information **


** SKSE and DLC features are OPTIONAL, if you do not have these, the mod
will disable these features automatically and seamlessly. **

==============================================================================
FUTURE PLANS
==============================================================================
1. Additional creatures will be added as I finalize their footprints.
2. Sand and Mud prints. Likely post-1.0. For example 1.1 will feature dirt,
1.2 mud, and 1.3 sand.
3. Blood trails
4. Plugin providing "Hunter Vision" which exposes newly placed prints by
making them glow.
5. Options menu ** Coming in 1.0 **
6. Ash/Solstheim support for Dragonborn with a supplemental plugin.

==============================================================================
INSTALLATION
==============================================================================
Install the BSA and ESP to your Data folder.

==============================================================================
UPGRADING
==============================================================================
** DO NOT UNINSTALL OR MAKE A "CLEAN SAVE" WHEN UPGRADING **
Unless otherwise stated, simply overwrite with the new ESP/BSA. For NMM users,
this means download the new version, and install over the old, choosing the
"Upgrade" option when prompted.

Upgrading from 0.9-0.96 to 0.99 requires no special action.
Upgrading from versions lower than 0.7 is not supported.

==============================================================================
UNINSTALLATION
==============================================================================
**Uninstallation via removal or disabling of the ESP is not supported.**

To disable the scripting you may open the console and enter:

setstage footprintsQuest 99

Disabling or removal of the ESP during a save may break
your save permanently. This is Bethesda's official stance, due to how data,
scripts especially, are permanently attached to your savegame.

Once the options menu is implemented in 1.0, you will no longer need to run
the console command, but simply disable it from the menu.

** AGAIN, DISABLING OR REMOVAL OF THE ESP IS NOT SUPPORTED **

==============================================================================
RE-INSTALLATION
==============================================================================
If you disabled the scripts via the console command above:

setstage footprintsQuest 99

...You can enable them again by entering:

stopquest footprintsquest
startquest footprintsquest

On two separate lines (hitting enter between each command)



==============================================================================
INI FILE EDITS
==============================================================================
Skyrim.INI:
[Display]
fDecalLifetime = 900
; Add or modify this value in the Display section
; Time is in seconds, so 900 = 15 Minutes
; This affects all decals

Ich benutze die Mod auch schon siet Heute, und ich muss sagen, ich bin beeindruckt.

Es verursacht überhaupt keine Abstürze und die Performance wird auch überhaupt nicht beeinflusst. Auch nicht bei 6 Wölfen gleichzeitig. (ich hab nicht den besten PC)

Außerdem scheint die Mod wohl zwischen Harten und Weichen Boden zu unterscheiden. Auf dem Eis oder im Wald z.B hinterlass ich keine Spuren und im Braunen Schnee (der etwas weichere) sind die Fußstapfen sogar ein klein bisschen tiefer.

Also für jeden, der gerne sein Skyrim verbessern will, ein Muss. Ich kann die Mod nur empfehlen.
Wie sagt man so schön: Die kleinsten Dinge erzielen die größte Wirkung. (oder so ahnlich )

 

@Toastbrοt
wie ist das mit der Sprache? Ist die Mod sprachneutral oder muss sie übersetzt werden?

 

Absolut Sprachneutral

 

Habe die Mod wieder deinstalliert.

Das, mit den Fußabdrücken im Schnee, funktioniert ja sehr gut.

Aber als ich dann oben in der Akademie von Winterfeste angekommen bin, und durch die Schlaf & Aufenthaltsräume lief,
hörten sich meine Schritte an, als wäre der Boden voller Wasser, und ich würde durch Wasserpfützen stapfen.

Nach der Deinstallation, hörten sich die Schritte wieder normal an.

 

Echt? Ich bin gerade der Magiergilde beigetreten, und da war das nicht der Fall. Bei mir werden nur die Schritte lauter, aber das kann man ja in den Optionen leiser machen.

 

Mittlerweile ist Version 3.0 erschienen, in der das Problem mit den verdoppelten Sounds (das Problem im vorherigen Post von mir) behoben wurde.

 

Gibt es ne möglichkeit einzustellen wie lange die Fußspuren sichtbar bleiben?

 

Ich zitiere aus dem Originaltgread:

Du müsst also in der Ini irgendetwas machen.

 

Man muss nicht zwangsläufig an der Ini schrauben, die Decalanzahl kann auch über den Launcher unter "Optionen" -> "Erweitert" eingestellt werden.

 

Glaub habs gefunden, für alle die es interresiert:
Unter [Decals] und dann in der Zeile uMaxDecals. Habs auf 1000 gestellt.

 

Mit der V3 funktioniert es jetzt!

 

Neue Version. Es wurden Spuren für Giants, Mammoths, Spriggans, Cows, Goats, Trolls, Skeevers, und Werewolves hinzugefügt.

 

Die Mod verursacht bei mir einen Fehler.
Kaiserliche Wachen die einen Gefangenen begleiten greifen mich ohne Vorwarnung an. Durch deaktivieren des Mods ist der Fehler weg.

 

Vielleicht ein Konflikt mit einem anderen Mod? Deaktiviere mal alle außer Footprints.

 

Version 0.7 erschienen

Changelog
Initial boot detection support. Currently only generic and barefoot prints. Entire subsystem is there, so I merely need to create textures.
Initial Dawnguard support (most all races, except chauruses, Dwemer).
Ghosts and familiars should no longer leave prints.
Performance and stability improvements.
Improvements to upgrade process.

 

Die Fußabdrücke verbessern die Atmosphäre von Skyrim ungemein.

Danke fürs Vorstellen.

 

Hab nen lustigen Glitch... bei mir hat eine Schlammkrabbe die Abdrücke von Riesen hinterlassen.... war ein wenig verwirrt.

 

Das schöne an der neuen Version ist, das sie nun eigene Scripte mitbringt und keine Beth-Scripte mehr modifiziert. Wodurch der Brawl-Bug Fix für Get Snowy nun richtig genutzt werden kann.
