Blitz54

Hello again, have not been on here for a while. I'd like to add that I have made an improved fish "Basic" version for the best compatibility. The Enhanced version has many unnecessary things for immersion, so I made this basic version for people just you folk that want just smaller pretty things. No cabin, quests, filleting, or NPC's are in this one. Just pond fish and big fish. Ingredients and digestible food. I noticed that my mod was not included in the latest S.T.E.P because, well, it had lots of compatibility issues. Completely understandable, I would do the same, but I just want you to know of the basic version in case you forgot about me. :) PS Starting a small wiki or my mod. https://blitz54.wikia.com/wiki/Blitz54_Wiki :)

Hey guys so just another quick note on here. Anything after 1.98 includes items /buildings that may conflict with other mods. I will make a new version of 1.98 for just fish when I have the time. 1.98 was made with Skyrim v1.5, so I'm not sure if it can work properly 1.7. Never really checked.

Just wondering how you guys felt about the filleting I added. :) I like it, although it took a while to do :P

Hey guys, so I have not had time to do so yet, but I will be adding some new textures for slaughterfish, along with a few new fish. I want to make my fish mod the one and only mod necessary to improve the waters, so people won't have to find a seperate slaughterfish mod. I may increase their size a bit, or make a few bigger species at least. I'm trying to get a simple constant animation on the fish I added, I don't need them to turn left or right, but just to constantly move their tail. I need to find a way to add a bone onto them, and import over the salmon mesh. Still having lots of difficulties with it, but I hope I can find a way. So next update will be including: -New textures for slaughterfish -A better texture + normal map for Charcaol Hikel -Slaughterfish stats for each new slaughterfish will be changed. -More big fish. Might be a while before this update, may take me a week and a half at least, I have football, and looots of homework.

So I added the dead fish models for my update. Now they don't dissapear when fus ro dah'd! Also got the slaughterfish summon spell added + somewhat working. Read in the description what its like. :) Typing fast lunch time over XD

Hey guys, updated it with my fixed Charcoal Hikel, seeing as it looked terrible. Just used the same mesh as the Amago and gave it a new texture. Looks great! Added the ability to cook some of the fish. Still need to do more..

Updated it :) So just making sure, what kind of things do you guys notice there is problems with? Or anything you guys appreciate much? :) So far I know of these errors: -Oriental Weather should be Oriental Weatherfish -Three spined spickleback should be much smaller, I may have adult version in with salmon and have a pond fish version also. Seeing as they don't grow very big.

Hey again, so I will hopefully be updating my mod by the end of the week. :) Gonna be adding a whole bunch load of new fish to the salmon section. They are from a resource mod on oblivion nexus, sorry but I don't have the link currently, at school comps again. :P They look VERY nice, make my Charcoal Hikel look like crap :/ oh well. But the fish currently have no animations. I will continue to try and give them the animations that they came with, but I can't seem to get them woking in Skyrim. Hopefull by Saturday there will be around 20 new big fish. :) I may update my mod with a few added today, just for a sneak peview I guess. :3

Hopefully this link works, I'm at school again so I can't actually go on skyrim nexus, it's blocked. Same with torminater's link, I can't view it. I am actually talking with the creator of this fishing mod, Arodicus. It looks fantastic! We plan on making them completely compatable sometime soon. It will probably be an extra plugin file to add my fish to his FormID's and blah blah blah. It still works a bit he says, but the fish do not appear in the net or something.. not sure, I'll ask him again. :P Also, I will be updating my mod soon, I have added another fish to the salmon section after struggling with it for so long. It's a bit blocky in the light, but seeing as it will be underwater the light does not affect it too much. I also added a stinger for the stingrays lootable's. And the new fish I added uses salmon meat mesh, but has dif ratings. I didn't find a point in making a new mesh just to recolour the salmon meat for the new fish, not worth it. NOTE: Also, Tytanis's next update will hopefully be a fishing one, utilizing my fish mod. I'm not sure if he is making animations for it or not, probably is, but that's something to look forward too. And sorry for rambling on, but the with the stinger lootable, I may make a new arrow sometime that uses the stinger. Maybe even have it enchanted somehow with electric. I also love this community. :) Fishing Mod by Arodicus

@Bealdwine I wasn't offended by the word bloat, so no need to apologize. I just wanted a defintion of how you are using the word. Also, by adding more fish to the game, it doesn't make the waters crowded, that is only if I add more spawns. It's just making the chance of finding 2 of the same fish in one spawn less common. Giving the player a need to go fishing in more than one spot. And for the predator/prey thing, I can do something similar. I can have slaughterfish hostile to stingrays, and stingrays enemies with slaughterfish. Then they will attack eachother. When I add a turtle, it won't have any enemies, but the predators of the sea will attack it for easy lunch. :) When Orcas are added, they will attack almost every fish in the waters, but it won't attack the player unless agrovated. Though I don't know how to make a slaughterfish actually EAT a stingray. May be able to make the stingray food dissapear when defeated by a slaughterfish or something, dunno yet.

I do kind of agree with Bealdwine for quality not quantity, but as for the animations, I have found that I can not make them in blender. :/ I have to get the trial for 3DSMax to make anims, but my net is terrible and it will take terribly long to get it downloaded. I'm going to try to download it at school haha and put it on my USB. And by Bloat, what exactly do you mean? I am going to redo the maggy's sometime, to make them better quality now seeing as they were my first ones. But after adding 32 fish the file is still only a bit over 1MB, and the chance of seeing all the fish early in the game is unlikely. I don't find that to be "bloated" in the way I am thinking. :) I will be adding a new fish to the salmon section, just need to get the texturing done properly for the fins and tail, then I can add it to the salmon spawn. This way there will be more than just two types of salmon. Quite said that there is only two actually...

skwareballz That one texture actually changes how the 5 original fish look. :)

Hey guys. :D Figured I would make an account on here for some fun. :) I'm at my school trying to get past the filter, so I google my mod and apparently you guys recommended it. :P Thank you for looking at it. I noticed that MadWizard finds the fish to bright in the sun. Thank you sooo much for saying so! I had a note for people to tell me if the fish are too bright, but nobody on nexus would. I'll try to get dimmed dow a bit then. :) Also, I understand blender a lot more now, so I'll be adding some fish with whole new meshes. :D Can't make new animations for them yet though, b/c blender anims cant be imported to Skyrim. but the meshes can. :) Also, I was planning on adding turtles, got the meshes completed, but they may look weird without animations on their "leg". Maybe I'll add some baby turtles that won't need anims just like the pond fish. Well ya, gotta go to class now, hopefully you people follow my progress. :) PS I don't like the rating of prisoner. XD
