This mod is excellent and very convenient to use, although i had an issue initially...
I was really confused at first because i made a custom mark and recall spell to fit with my spell organization scheme, so at first i thought it was not working. But as it turns out, this only affects the vanilla spells that you buy. The Custom Spells only use the Vanilla effects. I highly suggest adding this information to the description to avoid future confusion.
I also have two suggestions:
1. Add a means of making custom spells with custom names for Greater Mark and and Greater Recall. This is important for people who like to organize their spell list.
Here are some examples of how i like to type my spells:
You could further shorten these by using abbreviated category names, such as A for Alteration.
This scheme allows me to keep my spells separated according to Category and organized alphabetically. The slashes are meant to represent in order of spell effects how many points, distance and Duration are allocated to each effect. If the numbers are the same, i don't use slashes needlessly.
So i'm obsessive about keeping my spell list carefully organized, and if i can do the same for Greater Mark and Greater Recall, all the better.
2. The ability to rearrange marks. Currently, they are automatically arranged by order of mark creation. I don't really like this approach. I would much prefer if there was a toggle in the settings for ASCII alphabetical arrangement, which would allow me to arrange them as i want, similar to the spell list, but it would be even better as i could rename things as i please. A good holdover feature would be the ability to toggle "favorite" marks so that they show up at the top of the list. This feature would allow me to arrange them exactly the same way i organize my spells, by using the ordering the game sees the characters in.
Thank you for this wonderful mod! I don't intend for my request to make you feel obligated, but to provide ideas for future updates that would work really well for the mod.
Couldn't get this to work. I get error messages upon loading in, check the load order and open the script settings. I installed this like my other omw scripts & addons. I don't use the delta plugin
I was having the exact same issue, but then i updated from openmw .48 to .49 and it was working again. Alternatively, you could try going back to a older download of this mod, maybe that could work? Make sure to back up your files first, just in case!
Idk how is it possible, but it worked perfectly this morning and suddenly nothing, at first the spells just didn't seem to work, but the message didn"t show either, and then, after reinstalling, the same message showed as a popup, really mysterious indeed
Update: Figured it out! Mod doesn't work on existing characters. You need to make a new character / world & put it late in your load order but before any UI mods.
I get no option in the scripts menu to edit this mod, furthermore it also doesnt want to work either way. When I use one of the spells the animations are played as normal but nothing happens. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the mod multiple times, but that didn't change anything. I am on OpenMW version 0.49. Any Idea on what I am doing wrong or what I could do to fix this?
Is there a way to increase the Window size? I have 13 slots available but I can only use 9 at each time since I am not able to select the other 4 spots
For those with the same issue (which is everyone; default settings give you 20 Marks at skill level 100)
Go into the mod folder and open this file (any text editor will work)\scripts\LuaMultiMark\lmm_p.lua Search for the following line (for me, it's on line 467. But I'm on an old version, so it may be different for you): recallWindow:setGridSize(20, 10) Change those values. The first value is the width of the recall window. The second is the height.
I've set my values to 30, 30. This makes the window a little bit wider and ~3x taller, giving me access to ~25 Marks.
Note: the second value rapidly increases the window height. I'm on a 1440p screen and I can maybe fit a value of 40, but probably not 50.
I believe this mod has a compatibility issue with Tamriel Rebuilt; there's a quest in the Narsis Mages Guild, "Mystic Erratum," that has a scripted sequence requiring the player to cast the original Recall spell. The script doesn't seem to trigger with Greater Recall, rendering the quest unfinishable. And if Recall was totally replaced by Greater Recall, there's no way around it afaik.
Thank you for this amazing mod. One little quirk I've found on my system was that you can click on the locations to travel to them when using recall but for locations you have to scroll down to see, you have to press enter on them. Otherwise, the mod works perfectly.
Word of warning to people using this on the new Tamriel Rebuilt update. There is a Mage's Guild quest in Narsis that requires you to use the old Mark spell that just won't work with this mod. You can just disable the mod for the quest and use the vanilla Mark and Recall spells but you will lose all your saved marks when you re-enable it afterwards. Unfortunate but not gamebreaking.
If you're a conjurer or above, the guild guide that gives you the quest will teach you old recall, which works perfectly with the quest's scripting. You can simply delete the old recall after to avoid accidentally casting the wrong spell.
Wouldn't you still need to use the old mark for that thoght? I was having that same problem and ended up changing stuff on OpenMW CS to be able to both do the quest and keep my teleports from the multimark.
can this mod be used mid game after getting mark and recall? because when i try and use both mark and recall both do not seem to work and only summon a light pillar? I get no pop up asking to name a place or anything...
The right click menus disappear after using Recall. I have to open the menus again with right click to make them appear again. These issues were not present in OpenMW 0.48
