the auto arrows are not working for me, weapon is full charge. they worked once when i toggled god mode but since then theyre broken. any ideas? also is this still heading to skyrim or is that long gone?
Endorsed, great-looking bow. Just one thing to note: if you use TES4Edit, DO NOT clean the dirty edits in this mod. Doing so will cause the game to crash if you equip the bow.
+Awesome model and Textures +Arrow refilling script works nearly flawless :3 +Fast Bow drawing speed +High damage ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +-All those great effects are barely noticeable in first person They are just much too dark dude ->they need to be like 3 times brighter ! +- If ya accidently pick up one of those starshard arrows then the arrow regen /refill script is broken as long as ya keep the star shard in ya inventory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-My pc is able to handle any UHD weapon mod with 2k textures and some hundred thousands of polygons ->but once equipping your bow teh game freezes like for 5 seconds . -The blue flaming impact explosion effect is just utterly low res and producing only lag ); -NO sound effects ?? are you kidding ?? thats lame ..or did i install it wrong or missed something ?
But even with this sad flaws ya mod is the best Bow ever made for skyrim and oblivion .. and yeah i checked all other bow mods often enough ^^
Wow, this one's gone past me completely unnoticed, sorry!
First, thanks a lor for your enthusiasm!
About the brightness : Actually, I cannot crank it up more than this. You see, because of how Oblivion's engine works, we are forced to make all the moving parts of a bow from one single mesh (which happens to be quite massive in this case). The effects you see are litterally just "moving bow parts" to the engine. That means they aren't rendered like particles that could be tweaked individually. What you see when you draw the bow are solid 2d and 3d planes with a little transparency and 100% emission value. Cranking up the Bloom settings in your graphics would make them look "glowyer" - but I know that's not what you mean. Sadly, they just cannot be made brighter - I would've done it otherwise.
The starshard bug, however, bothers me... if your starshard count goes above 1, it should delete the surplus ones... Are you sure it isin't just deleting the one you're holding, making it look like you're "unequiping" the arrows?
About the weapon's graphical weight : You're right. That's why it comes with a warning on the description page, but this mod has a ridddiculously high polycount and very wide texture files - that's to allow all its parts + the effects to fit on it in good resolution.
The blue flaming impact is just the standard AOE lightning effect in Oblivion, I have no influence on it whatshowever.
And finally, sadly, as far as I know, a weapon cannot have personalized soundfiles in this game. I'd need to change every bow's sounds.. and that'd be pretty destructive, as you can imagine.
although the bow + arrows are pretty dark awesome, I swapped to using Dremora Field Arrows again. (partially) invisible hair annoyed the heck out of me, and I notice it a lot since I'm using a 3D camera mod (so no 1st person). Having physical arrows completely solves that hair issue, because the invisible quiver isn't acting up.
Your work is amazing, especially this bow. I don't see it generating it's own ammo though. I don't know if I'm looking in the wrong place, or if it conflicts with another mod I have, or something else.
The issue probably is that you don't have the correct version of Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE).
My bow uses a ''rather'' recent version that allows it to add and equip arrows without constantly spamming you with messages, but the script command will yield no result at all (and therefore no arrows) without the proper version of OBSE - or any ulterior version.
Another issue can be that the bow has no charges. I made it unable to create arrows without a certain amount of magic charges.
But my bet is you lack the correct version of OBSE.
Thanks for the reply. I'm quite sure what exactly happened, but it's working now. Maybe something to do with restarting Oblivion several times since that seems to be a pattern for some of the mods I use.
Thanks again for the bow and I look forward to the completed project.

Also, good to know about the dirty edits... Didn't even know I had left any in there... Too bad I'm out of the loop nowadays.
Have fun!
Honestly couldn't help you there ; the 4 files seem perfectly fine from my point of view.
Hope you can get to them : )
+Awesome model and Textures

And... Don't forget to endorse! *Wink Wink*
Well thank you!
And I shall keep modding Oblivion until I get a new rig, or until my 6 year-old PC-osaur dies!
