== My Current Questions ==

This is where I'll put up any questions I have that I'd like answered, in case anyone comes in here and knows an answer to any of them. Each will link to the page in which I've asked the question.


== Navigation Suggestion ==
I had originally posted this in the Community Portal, but Qazaaq suggested I mention it here.  It would be a bit easier to navigate the wiki if you added a "Categories" link to the main ToC on the Main Page.<br />
[[User:RedFault|RedFault]] 15:52, 8 January 2008 (EST)

:Hmm... Yeah, I will look into that. I'm not sure how useful that will be (there are a lot of categories that aren't too useful), but if it looks good I'll add it.

:Thanks for the suggestion!

== IRC Client for the Wiki! ==
::[[User:odd.bod|odd.bod]] Thank you very much DragoonWraith for your reply on the Main Page's talk page. I've changed my mind. My channel is not very good and has only been going for two weeks, but someone else has asked me to put their channel forward. It is called #esmod. You need to be able to connect to the server then the client. The server is irc.chatspike.net. The admin of it is called Dcoy. He seemed rather exited about this when I told him yesterday so I hope you consider it. This would be a great oppertunity for the site. A person good at linking two different things would have to do it though because I don't know how to. If you would like, I could create a link in the tools section so that people can get the program mIRC so that they would be able to connect to the channel. I hope you consider it. Please reply via my talk page.

:::[[User:odd.bod|odd.bod]] Erm, well I don't know where it would go. People keep saying the tools section but I don't think so. The Client is a chatroom for anyone who does not know. Erm... I think links. I don't know if that will work, but it's worth a try!

::::mIRC is the most powerful IRC thing people would want to get. I'm just wondering, is it you that sorts out the links there? If not, then I'd be happy to create the Category in there and then create the link to mIRC's page (where you will download it.) If neccasary, I will write up some instructions as to how to connect to the server and join the channel, although mIRC has already done this.[[User:odd.bod|odd.bod]]

:::::[[User:odd.bod|odd.bod]] Ok, I'll sort that out soon. I'll have to take a look at some of the other links to see how they work. Thanks!

::::::It won't let me create the link because of the hyperlink.When I try to save it it says somethng about because I have included an external hyperlink, to avoid spamming I need to type the words in the box below but there isn't one below.

== Guidobot's articles ==

From [[Talk:Avoiding_Message_Spam|this discussion]], I don't think Guidobot wants his articles to be rewritten. Maybe it would be best to move the articles to his user space and start afresh.--[[User:Haama|Haama]] 10:37, 20 January 2008 (EST)

:I'm confused - he seems happy to have his article worked on in that link. I do seem to remember Guido being somewhat possessive of those articles, perhaps we should try to contact him.

== Machinima ==

not sure if theres a mail section on this site. but yeah, i have been tooling around with the CS. i'm getting the basics, and i do mean BASICS.  i have read a lot of tutorials, i wouldn't mind eventually making a quest.  but i really need to focus on what you said.  Scripting and event type codes.  i found morrowind much easier to mod, especially the interior/exterior differentiation.  the ability to distinguish what is where without necessarily having to refer to grid numbers. i am plugging away several hours a day at learning this newer CS. but if anyone want to help with a machinima project, i've got a great writer, and i can trade work for audio-post production and even custom sound tracks to any mods anyone creates. --[[User:Marcus.sawyer|Marcus.sawyer]] 09:05, 14 May 2008 (EDT)

::And I think the User Functions sections I added to the bottom of this page should be removed since the discussion moved to a proper place. As the text is mine and Qazaaq's and the page is yours, I don't know what the etiquette says about who should remove it.

I did try the Liquid style sheet and changed the items that were originally on the style sheet in my profile, but it didn't work well with my non-widescreen monitor so I removed it (hence the blank style sheet in my profile).

Hi DragoonWraith, I updated [[TES4Edit/Mod cleaning tutorial with TES4Edit|the tutorial]] as you suggested and I think it is mod neutral now. Please, take a look at it when you have a minute, I would be glad to fix any other issue.

I've removed any reference to me, and revised the section about commenting on the thread. It now, hopefully, complies with Wiki standards.

: [[User:Gregbert|Gregbert]] 07:23, 26 April 2009 (EDT).

== Bad Header on Tag? ==

The header on that tag-thing when something's hard to find and needs to be more prominent reads:

 '''''Information Missing from the Wiki'''
 This article is more difficult to find than it should be. Please use the Talk page to
 discuss how to make this information more prominent.''

See [[Find Text]] for an example.

Surely the header is wrong, seeing that the information is actually there, just not overly visible? Well, that's what I thought, at least. It just confused me, is all - I'm not trying to kick up a fuss! :O

--[[User:Gregbert|Gregbert]] 02:17, 27 April 2009 (EDT).

== House Making Tutorials ==

There seems to be numerous house-making tutorials, all of which seem to be incomplete. The list of tutorials I've found are:

[[How to make a house]]

[[Creating a House]]

Both of these were added a long time ago, and show no signs of being added to - I'd suggest scrapping both of them (They have such a high cross-over anyhow that one should go in any case) and then getting someone else to create a completely new, more intuitive tutorial with much more depth, which I'd be up for to fill some time! ;)

Since creating a house is one of the first things that people want to do, I guess making it as easy to follow as possible would make sense (and neither of those I've found do at all).

Having said this, there might be a badly named tutorial by someone on the topic. I've been looking, but you seem to be guru on all things wiki! I'll look like a dick if there is now. :(

Sorry for the lengthy message. And the numerous other ones before it! I'm still getting to grips.

--[[User:Gregbert|Gregbert]] 13:20, 28 April 2009 (EDT).

:Our default "first thing people should do" tutorial is [[:Category:A beginner's guide|A Beginner's Guide]], which is pretty solid. Still, a basic house-making tutorial is something we should have. If you are interested, ''definitely'' go for it. Feel free to use one of the existing article titles, and add {{[[:Template:Afd|afd]]}} on the second so it'll be deleted. If you're going to use ''content'' from both, let me talk to Gstaff about merging the two articles, so that we can keep proper History credits in there.

:No, that's just because if you link to a page ''from that page'', the link doesn't work, it just gets bolded instead. So that's why the TALK section of my signature is just bolded and not a link. My signature on any other page will still link here.

:Anyway, I don't know. I think it's pretty solid on the GECK Wiki. If you want to double-check, best bet is to probably leave a note on the GECK Wiki about it.

== Menu XML & changing active enchanments ==

Thanks for the positive feedback.  As far as a full article goes, I assume you meant about the menu xml stuff.  I was thinking about posting an article, but I need to do some rigorous testing to clarify what each element and trait do.  When I have some time, I'll put together a reference article - if you (or anyone else) wants to beat me to the punch though, I wouldn't complain.

As for modifying active spells etc:  I was experimenting with spells that add effects to the enchantment on the player's weapon.  I found that adding effects worked fine.  When the spell ran down and tried to remove effects from the enchantment, and those effects were still active on an actor I'd attacked, the game would CTD.  From your input, the work of the good folks at OBSE, and my own experience, I'd infer that each active effect on an actor has a reference to the magic item (enchantment/spell/etc) that applied it and the index of the effect in said item.  If you remove effects from the item, the indexes stored by the actors become invalid - and possibly out of bounds, which would cause a crash when the game tried to use them.  You didn't have crashes (I'm guessing now) because you changed magnitudes, but the number of effects remained constant.  Of course I could be way off - correct me if so.  In any case, thanks for the additional info.

== Reccuring If Statement ==

You said you could help with scripting problems? :P

I've got a small problem with an If statement running 4 times, when as far as I can see, it should (and I want it to) only run once. The script is:

<pre>SCN TestMidnightActivator

Short CurrentDay

Begin GameMode

    If CurrentDay < GameDaysPassed && TestGlobal > 0
        Set CurrentDay to GameDaysPassed
        Set TestGlobal to ( TestGlobal + 5 )
        MessageBox "Test working"
    Endif

End</pre>

Someone on the [http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1010088&st=0&gopid=14614733&#entry14614733 Forum thread] said I should change the Short CurrentDay to a Float, seeing that GameDaysPassed acts as a Float too; but this had no effect as I can see.
I basicly need the script to add 5 or whatever to the global at the start of a new day. Nothing else I've tried seems to work, including [[GetCurrentTime]] and '''GameHour'''.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

== I Seriously need a hand with saves ==

I'm back LOL... Listen I have some serious issues with my Oblivion Game... It doesn't let me save! I can't console command save (save filename), I can't Save through the menu, I can't Quicksave, and I can't Autosave!!! Everytime my game tries to save, it crashes and says, "Oblivion has stopped working". As you can imagine, it is a pain in the ass. When I try to load my game, it works fine, but here's another odd thing about it: The saves that caused it to crash are in my save menu... I tried to load some of them, but when I click on the save it says: "The Master Files in this save game aren't loaded. Returning to game." I have Oblivion.esm loaded though, and my other files work well... so I'm just here to see if someone can tell me wtf is going on... it isn't a mod that is causing it, because it only randomly happened during playing. So to recap: No matter what save type I try to use, my game crashes. I hope that someone else has has this problem before, and can help me. Thank you.

==User Functions==
Hi, there, DW. I have just created an "User Function" article (from the OBSE doc, hope it is OK), an "User Function" category and a sample user function page (just to exercise/suggest a format and to get the general idea of how it would look.

(of course, feel free to undo, redo, delete, whatever you see fit - I am  a strong supporter of the concept that wiki contents have no owner)

And the exercise raised a question: how to manage the potentially many implementations of the same function? All in the same article, one after another? Force different names? (Could mess up the index - Min, Min2, Min3, Min862 . . .)
As I see it, except for the article name restriction, there is no reason not to have in the Wiki  a number of implementations with the same name, as the modder is the one that has to pick one.

: Well, almost all of the articles in the Answered/Questions section have marked for deletion. The few left standing might have content that could use a new housing. I also suggest that both categories be deleted.<br>

== RE: Common Bugs Suggestion ==

Hi, I had spent a lot of time scripting last night coming back here looking and comparing. There are some script pages that don't display proper usage of a function such as [[IsQuestItem]] (i fixed the page) i finally got it working after finding another .esp from someone who actually did use it. Also, I did test the script last night and my script did work while cycling through the players inventory index and removing quest items. Try this. [https://www.yousendit.com/download/Z01OM25FMVhmVFpFQlE9PQ DOWNLOAD ME PLZ] after experimenting with it. it did work. However I may have mis-typed the example.

:Ok I have looked at the history of the page at the example I have written down. Looks like my mind was just in the wrong place... Anyway, take a look at this [https://www.yousendit.com/download/Z01OM25FMVhmVFpFQlE9PQ file]. This does have a workaround using label and goto to execute a recurring removeitem function.

:Finally, the reason I was avoiding trying to hit endif is because the script seems to cease functioning (for me) after you execute a removeitem command and then hit an endif block. Sure it will remove the first item it finds, but the script will not loop again.

== Heads up for new users ==

I posted this [http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Talk:Main_Page#Heads-up_for_new_users suggestion] sometime ago. Is it feasible to implement ?<br>

== CSbot formating==
Hi, DW. The ar_constuct line from the OBSE doc is "(array_var) ar_Construct arrayType:string". From the little i could figure out about the CSbot, it seems that it got confused with the return value being a single word. The ar_construct page has 'returnVal = array_var' but no 'returnType', resulting in a command line of ''''''(void)''''' ar_Construct arrayType:string'. Somewhere along the line it lost the original info and replaced it with 'void'. I could add a 'returnType' to the raw text, but decided to leave it alone, so you could check.

== Questions and Answers ==
just noticed this :

''Removed all Questions and Answered Questions to be deleted from those categories, and added "Discussion" to those that will remain''

in the CSbot's user page - I wonder which articles had been deleted - is it possible to see them ? [[User:UDUN|UDUN]] 06:47, 20 August 2010 (EDT)

== CSbot SetStringGameSettingEX ==

It appears that the CSbot got confused over the '|' character so part of the description is missing. Also, thanks for creating the CSbot. It could be very useful to have all the information in the wiki. [[User:LogicDragon|LogicDragon]] 12:47, 23 August 2010 (EDT)

== CSbot svDestruct ==

I'm not sure what happened here but the sv_Destruct page is missing the description and one of the examples is incorrect. [[User:LogicDragon|LogicDragon]] 19:48, 28 August 2010 (EDT)

== Bot approval and request a bot flag ==
A while ago I’ve read a topic on the wiki about [[Talk:Main Page#Heads-up for new users|welcoming new users]]. At this moment there is only one bot active on this Wiki. welcoming new users required a bot and I couldn’t ask your bot to do this because you were not certain the bot was allowed to be "always on" like that and you are always busy taking care of other things so I decided to create my own. I searched more information about bots and eventualy I managed to set up my own bot.

[[DXbot]] (The account has been created but it's empty) is a [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pywikipedia PyWikipedia]-based robot, just like your bot and when approved it will run the welcome.py to welcome all new users (with less than one edit)(but I think I need to change it first so it fits this Wiki).

First of all my bot needs to be approved before I use it and since you’re the only one who has a bot I think it’s best if I ask you. I have another request if it has been approved: I don’t want it to clutter recent changes so it needs to be flagged as a bot before making any edits on the CSWiki.

If it gets approved and if it gets flagged as a bot, the only problem left for me to solve is to create a welcome template but that shouldn’t be too much of a problem. (I actually thought it would be much harder to install and run a bot. I only had a few problems with the wiki-family thing.)

== Quick Question ==

I hate to ask questions, but I thought this would be the fastest way to find out. I type the name of my created mod into my computer search, and it comes up empty. Where can I find it? I need to attach it to an email. A thousand thanks, --[[User:Arch-Mage Matt|Arch-Mage Matt]] 13:23, 11 September 2010 (EDT)

== Get Script Variable ==

I'm finished working on the research for this particular article. I've figured out how to use a Quest Script to store a reference value as well as how to retrieve that value. The functionality is tested and works as described. 

Please check the article. AFAIK there is no similar explanation of this functionality on the Wiki. Also you may want to review the comments on the Discussion of the article for further notes. --[[User:Bruneauinfo|Bruneauinfo]] 12:42, 23 December 2010 (EST)


== GetMenuHasTrait - CSBot-Error ==

Don't know why Inv/Mag Filter codes were here. Changed to MenuTypes which is required here.
Also added an example to clarify the function goes for traits (i.e. <visible />, not children (i.e. a rect-element). Maybe not the best example (I think one checking for DarN would be better), but don't have the time to browse menu-files I don't use just for that.

==G/[[SetPCAttributeBonus]](C) - again CSBot==

[[Template:OBSE_Actor_Value_Codes]] was added to the '''non'''-C-versions, not the C-versions.

==Problems wiht Recent Changes and other pages==
Hi, there, DW. For the past couple of weeks the Recent Changes page has been inaccessible most of the time (Error HTTP 500 = "The website is under maintenance" / "The website has a programming error"). Same for the search results page and a few others. I wonder if this is a general problem or it is just a matter of tweaking some local settings on my side.

== Temporarily disabling account registration ==

Could new account creation be disabled until the CK and its wiki are made public? It would certainly help curb the current onslaught of spammers.<br>

==About the search function==
It is better today.

Yesterday I could not find StopQuest. Today it is in the search results, but the resulting list brings articles that shouldn’t be there as they don't have the searched word.

And, although the link to StopQuest is in the results, there is the "Create the page "STOPQUEST" on this wiki! " at the top

Another thing I've just noticed is that the "List of Functions" (my personal main page) is incomplete. It stops in the middle of the "S" section. Some limit exceeded, perhaps? 

And, btw, is there a automated way of applying templates (like a fill-the-blanks form) or do I type the whole thing? (which is no big deal, anyway) [[User:QQuix|QQuix]] 05:10, 4 December 2011 (EST)


:Well . . . knowing it is case sensitive will help a little. Let´s hope MediaWiki fixes the remaining issues in future releases.

:OK. The Function template is well detailed, as you said. Easy to use. I will use it next time.[[User:QQuix|QQuix]] 17:55, 5 December 2011 (EST)

== Going Through the Beginner's Guides ==

So I've finally been going through the newbie guides like I said I would weeks ago and I've been trying to keep in mind what you said about looking for things more experienced modders would likely miss. I am finding a few inconsistencies that have made some of the guides confusing from a noob perspective, but I'm not sure what to do about them for several reasons:<br/>
#I realize I'm nit picky about instructions and could be making a big deal out of things that aren't really a problem. <br/>
#These articles are featured, so I figure they've been combed through and edited by hundreds of people over the years and any problem I'm having with them is probably my fault. <br/>
#The inconsistencies have to do with things I don't know anything about, so I couldn't change them anyway.<br/>
Would you like me to make a note of articles that trip me up like this so you can consider them later, or are they not worth worrying about?<br/>

== Holy dedication batman! ==
Hi, there. . . . Yeap. I am still working on my mod and update the WIKI every once in a while, when I have a chance, although I am afraid it feels more like a note-to-self than something to help the community. [[User:QQuix|QQuix]] ([[User talk:QQuix|talk]]) 17:27, 7 January 2015 (EST)
