I didn't even realise the loading screen cage is not covered, the file is Meshes\loadscreenart\loadscreenmetalcage.nif. The cage position is different too, I imported your cage and moved it by hand to make a quick patch, but I haven't tested in game yet.
The cage from this mod and doors are not attached, so you still have to edit the nif and combine the door with the cage. I made the nif while leaving the comment, but I have yet to see the loading screen. So not sure it looks ok or not xd.
Beautifully done! Unfortunately I am having an issue where the sliding doors attached to the large cages will disappear when they go up - is anyone else having similar issues?
I must have done something incorrectly along the way; on a separate profile with a different mod setup, the cages work perfectly.
It was in the Lost Knife Hideout, but I cannot confirm that was the only place it could happen. Nor do I have any idea which mod may have been causing the issue :(

Fort Greymoor. Big cage. When you open the door, it disappears. In order for the door to reappear, you must activate "close" and exit the location. Then re-enter the location. When you enter the location, you can hear the sound of the cage door closing. Haven't tested other locations.
There's no reason for the mod itself to cause this, since the animation is essentially a boolean and works exactly the same as vanilla. There won't be an issue on a new game.
However, the likely issue is because the game can't find the vanilla node that controls the raising of the door, so if you've previously gone through a dungeon and left the gate in an opposite state, then changed the model (which has a different set of nodes) when you go there again, it won't be there.
I've uploaded a potential fix can you please try it out and report back? If it works, I can add it to the main mod.
Sorry for taking so long. The bottom line is that at first I decided to check the cage again without your fix. And could not reproduce the error. I started a new game several times and went to the fort Greymoor. And the cage either worked fine, then this bug appeared again with the disappearance of the door. Of the 8 new games, 5 worked fine and 3 had a bug. If the door disappeared, then I saved game and exited to desktop. Then I again entered in the game. And the cage door began to work normally. I never tested your fix, because the bandits in the fort began to beg me not to go to them anymore. And if without jokes, then I'm tired of going to the fort, because the error cannot always be reproduced. And to make sure that your fix works 100%, need to walk to this cage a few more times. I'm already sick of seeing her. Sorry, I can't.
metalcagelonggate01.nif ... gives the error 'Link '3' points to the wrong block type' ... when trying to save it into NifSkope. The same error in the 'cage fix'.
I've been looking around and my game looks spectacular! .... Oh wait, what's this crappola? A low-res cage. I sigh and think "Oh welp, I'm just not worry" But it BUGGED me!
I demand total beauty, even in cages. Thank you Obi-John Skyrimnobi!
Hi johnskyrim Just wanted to check something with you, regarding version 1.01 and version 1.02.
In your changelog, it says;
Version 1.02
Changed metalcagedoor01.nif to MOPP collision to compensate for scaling in Pinemoon Cave which would cause the Player to get stuck due to accurate collisions.
I've just compared the files between version 1.01 and version 1.02, and the mesh 'metalcagedoor01.nif' (as specified in the changelog) is identical in both versions. The only file which has changed from 1.01 is metalcage01.nif.
Is this simply a typo in the changelog and you meant to say "metalcage01.nif", or was metalcagedoor01.nif also intended to be changed and maybe you forgot to add it to the version (in which case, metalcage01.nif is missing from the changelog)?

Here's a mirror
Try this
Sorry for bad english.
Thanks for testing
Just a wrong link on the NiMultiTargetTransformController, it's not going to break the animation by itself though. I'll update the mod tomorrow.
Loading a save doesnt fix the issue. Going to desktop and loading back in fixes it.
EDIT: lol didnt realise how old this was.
This mod only has 8500 vertices while still looking better than SMIM's. And that one has over 50000 vertices!
Gib now
