Ship Module Snap Expansion - SMSEX
Built with Xedit 4.1.5

For updates check the sticky posts under the posts tab



Modders that also mod modules, check the documentation, I put up a readme that contains all the vanilla records I edited and what I edited.



So many structural modules, yet so many restricted positions.

Ever been shipbuilding and thought, damn if I could only put that piece on the side, or why cant I put that piece on top instead of only the bottom, I want this piece................!?


Well look no further!!! -SMSEX- series is here

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the release of SMSEX - Nova Galactic 1.0.2 a total of 224 new positions for Deimos - Nova Galactic - Stroud-Eklund - Hopetech and Horizon have been added.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMPATIBILLITY:
-Compatible with retextures

-COMPATIBILLITY with Better Ship Parts Snaps

Deimos 1.0.2:

I modded the Bumpers and Hull A so the Bumper ends can now be fitted Fore and Aft on Hull A.

This means you will have to make a choice:



-Keep the snaps from Better Ship Parts Snaps on the Bumpers but not be able to place them Fore -Aft on Hull A>

Load Better Ship Parts Snaps - AFTER - SMSEX - Deimos 1.0.2


-Keep the snaps from Better Ship Parts Snaps on all parts EXCEPT the BUMPERS>

Load Better Ship Parts Snaps - BEFORE - SMSEX - Deimos 1.0.2



INCOMPATIBLE WITH:

-Better Ship Parts Flips- both mods do the same and weird shit will happen if you use them together!!!!




-I made new NIF's, gave them their own Snaptemplates, FormID's, GBFM's, COBJ, Pack-in, Storagecells, etc. I also had to mod some vanilla module values so everything showed up correctly in the buildmenu. The values I modded are <Shipmodulevariable> <Shipmodposition>

-Any mod that also edits those variables will screw up the buildmenu

(see Documentation for all edited Vanilla files) 



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The build menu:

The engine is stupid :-) or broken depending on who you ask ;-) 

Ok, a menu can only have either:

Top and Bottom modules 

Port and Starboard modules

Aft en Fore modules

etc. etc. etc.

There is a setting in the files that sets what your module is, a top mounted, bottom mounted, starboard mounted etc. etc. etc. 

If i turn a top mounted module in a side mounted module i still have to set it as top mounted if that was the original designation. There's probably alot more going on, but we cant see that yet to fix it. So all the modules are there, it's just that you might have to select a side snap so my side module shows up that was origanally a top/botom module.

It's an engine restriction, or a setting we have not yet able to identify. However, knowing Bethesda since Morrowind, they probably set out to do the same, but could not fix the build menu so just left out all those other options.

I am sticking to adding my modules to existing menus whenever I can because otherwise the whole shipbuilding menu will become to cluttered. I could add another menu for each module series that I flipped from top/bottom to for instance port / starboard. But as more people start modding the game and messing with modules and habs and engines, and cargo, we would end up with a very long list to scroll through to get to the item you want.

Sometimes it is inevitable though, at least at this point.

There is also the minor issue, we have not yet figured out where we can attach an icon so you see what modules are in the buildmenu, hence blanco menu's. That will be solved over time, i'm sure of it, but for now it is what it is.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was alot of work, it was a steep learning curve, but with help from the Xedit Discord I made it happen.


Special thanks goes to Freschu, who helped me take the last hurdle in adding new NIF's into the game. We both set out with the same idea but took different approaches. Therefore our mods are incompatible, I did not add extra/new snappoints.

But still check out his mod download and like it even if you dont use it, his help was instrumental in making this mod.


Better Ship Part Snaps


Our mods are compatible, however you wont see the extra snappoints added by Freschu on my added modules. They are only added to the "vanilla" modules. We have gone over the files, I made some small adjustments and there is no reason the two mods should not be compatible.


That said there is no official modding support yet, as solid as Xedit is and as powerfull a tool it is and as has been demonstrated by the mods made for Skyrim and Fallout 4. We are at the pre stages of mod support, there is no guarentee that a future update by Bethesda wont break things. There is also no guarentee some things might still not conflict between our mods.

*We are not competing, we set out to do the same thing just different approaches, we exchange experience and consult when we run into stuff, we keep each other sharp and motivated to make quality mods with what the tools available at this moment.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you encounter a bug answer the following:

-How big was your ship?
-Running any BAT commands for shipbuilding?
-Any mods that remove build limits?
-What other mods are you using?
-Did you manually install or use a Mod Manager?
-Anything other? Excessive amount of weapons or power, engines?



Before you post a bug or complain:

If you run into an issue uninstall all other mods, use a clean INI with the minimal settings for running mods, no BAT commands and other stuff, pure vanilla game and just 1 mod active.

See if the problem persists, if not start adding other mods 1 by 1 testing in between untill you see the issue again, the last mod you added is then 99,9% sure the one that is causing the issue.

If the answer is:

Yes, I still run into the same issue and I can consistently reproduce the issue, it is your ESM! Then file a bugreport on this page with details what you did and when it happened.


If the answer is NO after the above steps: Go complain on the page of one of the other mods you installed ;-) 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RELEASES:

A AIO VERSION WITH ARCHIVE WILL BE RELEASED WHEN ALL MANUFACTURERS ARE DONE AND ANY BUGS FIXED. FOR THE MOMENT IT IS EASIER TO MANAGE AND RELEASE SEPERATE ESM'S PER MANUFACTURER.
