ACCEPTED Better Shaped Weapons - BSW (by masterofshadows and LeanWolf)

[oqhansoloqo]

Personally, I like the looks of the improved scimitar more than the curved vanilla one... but, the only issue I actually have with using the new one is that a bunch of NPCs are constantly commenting on the Redguard warriors using curved swords.  So changing the swords to not really be curved makes the comment even stupider than it already was.  :D lol

This was a painless mod to try out and use...I really like it, it's a keeper. No more weapons made from Legos or playdough.

I am almost certain the installer is somewhat bugged. I selected the no sheaths option, and it's still installing the wrong meshes (I only tested it with glass greatsword, but it's possible it's not limited to just that).

Could anyone confirm?

Leanwolf said the installer was made for NMM, but I have no idea what that means for MO users. I don't really understand the various installers at all.

[DoubleYou]

Updated the instructions for this. I find nothing wrong with the installer, but then I don't use the no sheathes option. It would be nearly impossible to troubleshoot without knowing exactly which options you chose.

[Octopuss]

Meanwhile I confirmed the bug. All of the no sheaths meshes are installed wrong (you get fully sheathed greatswords). Pretty easy to test.

[DoubleYou]

Okay, tested this. You must use the NCC installer for this mod, as it uses advanced fomod install code which is not recognized by the integrated one. Dual Sheath Redux version fails for the same reason.

[Octopuss]

What's NCC installer? I don't see anything like that in MO.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with the FOMOD that the internal installer should be messing up...I'm curious what is causing it to not work properly?

 

It's not using anything more advanced than I used in the Soul Gems Differ FOMOD...

[DoubleYou]

Funny. It only seems to occur with the No Greatsword sheathes option. I assumed the DSR version would be broken too, but that seems fine on a second look.

 

Testing the Glassgreatsword.nif between No Greatsword Sheathes and with them. The No Greatsword Sheathes option doesn't install for the glass greatsword at least. I really don't know fomods, only know when they aren't working as intended.

[Octopuss]

When I changed the fomod "prefer" option to false, the installer looked different, and correct meshes were copied. I really don't understand all this at all.

[TechAngel85]

The only thing I can find that might be causing issues is the priority tags. Perhaps the internal installer is not handling them properly. I will investigate.

[TechAngel85]

Well, both installers are completely ignoring the priority so that's not it. At this point, I can only assume that the internal installer is not handling the Conditional statements correctly, even though I can't find anything wrong with them.

[TechAngel85]

I posted a bug report for this issue: https://issue.tannin.eu/tbg/modorganizer/issues/670

[TechAngel85]

Tannin has fixed the issue with the internal FOMOD installer so no need to use NCC anymore.
