# Community Shaders Setup Guide for NimmerSky
|
||||
# Compiled: 2026-03-20 | Session with Chrysalis
|
||||
# For: Linux (Proton) + Skyrim AE + MO2 via Jackify
|
||||
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
OVERVIEW
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
Community Shaders (CS) is an open-source graphics framework for Skyrim.
|
||||
Community-driven, modular, and designed for modern rendering.
|
||||
|
||||
WHY CS:
|
||||
- Proton/Linux friendly (standard DirectX calls, no injection hooks)
|
||||
- Modular: enable only what you need
|
||||
- Open source: bugs get fixed by community
|
||||
- Good performance
|
||||
- Native upscaling support (FSR/XeSS)
|
||||
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
REQUIREMENTS
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
SKYRIM VERSION:
|
||||
[x] Skyrim AE (latest Steam version) - SUPPORTED
|
||||
[ ] Skyrim 1.6.640 - NOT SUPPORTED
|
||||
[x] Skyrim VR - SUPPORTED (separate modules)
|
||||
|
||||
GPU:
|
||||
[x] DirectX feature level 11_1 minimum
|
||||
[x] DirectX 12_0 for frame generation features
|
||||
(Your setup should be fine - check with: vulkaninfo | grep apiVersion)
|
||||
|
||||
PREREQUISITES (install in this order):
|
||||
1. [x] SKSE64 - Already in your foundation
|
||||
2. [x] Address Library - Already installed
|
||||
3. [x] SSE Engine Fixes (Part 1 + Part 2 Preloader) - Check if installed
|
||||
4. [ ] Visual C++ Redistributable - Usually handled by Proton
|
||||
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
CRITICAL CONFIGURATION
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
BEFORE INSTALLING CS:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Borderless Windowed Mode (REQUIRED)
|
||||
In SkyrimPrefs.ini:
|
||||
```
|
||||
bBorderless=1
|
||||
bFull Screen=0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. SSE Display Tweaks (if using):
|
||||
In SSEDisplayTweaks.ini:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Fullscreen = false
|
||||
Borderless = true
|
||||
BorderlessUpscale = false
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Engine Fixes Preloader:
|
||||
- Part 1: Install via MO2 (normal mod)
|
||||
- Part 2 (Preloader): MANUAL install to Skyrim root folder
|
||||
- d3dx9_42.dll goes in the same folder as SkyrimSE.exe
|
||||
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||

|
||||
- DLSS 4 / FSR 3.1 / XeSS support
|
||||
- Frame generation (requires DX12 GPU)
|
||||
- INCOMPATIBLE: Skyrim Upscaler (old mod)
|
||||
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
INCOMPATIBILITIES
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
INCOMPATIBLE MODS (use CS alternatives):
|
||||
- EVLaS / AELAS → use Sky Sync instead
|
||||
- Skyrim Upscaler → use CS Upscaling instead
|
||||
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
LOAD ORDER PLACEMENT
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
In your MO2 left pane (following logical order):
|
||||
|
||||
EARLY:
|
||||
- SKSE
|
||||
- Address Library
|
||||
- Engine Fixes (Part 1)
|
||||
- SSE Display Tweaks
|
||||
|
||||
AFTER VISUALS/WEATHER:
|
||||
- Community Shaders (base)
|
||||
- Light Placer
|
||||
- CS Light
|
||||
- [Feature modules: Skylighting, SSGI, etc.]
|
||||
- [Terrain/Grass CS modules]
|
||||
|
||||
LATE LOADERS:
|
||||
- CS patches (if any)
|
||||
- Weather-specific CS configs
|
||||
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
IN-GAME CONFIGURATION
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
CS has an in-game menu (usually bound to END key):
|
||||
|
||||
1. Launch game
|
||||
2. Press END to open CS menu
|
||||
3. Toggle features on/off
|
||||
4. Adjust quality settings per feature
|
||||
5. Settings save to Data/SKSE/Plugins/CommunityShaders.json
|
||||
|
||||
RECOMMENDED STARTING POINT:
|
||||
- Enable: Skylighting, SSGI (AO only), Screen Space Shadows
|
||||
- Disable: Grass Collision (if FPS issues)
|
||||
- Test, then enable more features one by one
|
||||
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
LINUX/PROTON NOTES
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
CS is Proton-friendly:
|
||||
- Uses standard DirectX calls
|
||||
- No binary injection hooks
|
||||
- No special memory configuration needed
|
||||
|
||||
POTENTIAL ISSUES:
|
||||
- Frame generation may not work (DX12 feature)
|
||||
- Upscaling (FSR) should work (AMD tech, Proton-friendly)
|
||||
- DLSS unlikely to work (NVIDIA-specific, needs native driver)
|
||||
|
||||
TEST ORDER:
|
||||
1. Install CS base only, confirm game launches
|
||||
2. Add Skylighting, test
|
||||
3. Add SSGI, test
|
||||
4. Add other features one at a time
|
||||
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
PGPATCHER (PARALLAXGEN) - THE KEY TOOL
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
WHAT IT DOES:
|
||||
PGPatcher patches your meshes to work with CS material systems:
|
||||
- Parallax (depth on textures)
|
||||
- Complex Materials (realistic metals, specular)
|
||||
- True PBR (physically based rendering)
|
||||
|
||||
WHY YOU NEED IT:
|
||||
- CS requires meshes to have specific flags set for material features
|
||||
- Without patching: "blue meshes" bug, broken parallax
|
||||
- PGPatcher auto-detects your textures and patches meshes accordingly
|
||||
- Replaces need for "pre-patched mesh" mods

|
||||
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
WORKFLOW ORDER
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Run tools in this order:
|
||||
1. BodySlide (if using) → output to dedicated mod folder
|
||||
2. PGPatcher (ParallaxGen) → patches meshes for CS
|
||||
3. TexGen → generates LOD textures
|
||||
4. DynDOLOD → generates distant LODs
|
||||
|
||||
IMPORTANT:
|
||||
- Re-run PGPatcher every time you add/remove texture mods
|
||||
- Re-run PGPatcher after BodySlide changes
|
||||
- Run BEFORE TexGen/DynDOLOD (they use PGPatcher's output)
|
||||
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
LINUX/WINE SETUP FOR PGPATCHER
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
PGPatcher CAN run on Linux via Wine, but needs setup:
|
||||
|
||||
DEPENDENCIES (via winetricks/protontricks):
|
||||
[ ] dotnet8 / dotnetdesktop8
|
||||
[ ] vcrun2012, vcrun2013, vcrun2022
|
||||
[ ] d3dcompiler_47 (CRITICAL for GPU init)
|
||||
|
||||
COMMON ISSUES:
|
||||
|
||||
1. ".NET8 Desktop Runtime not installed"
|
||||
FIX: Install via Windows .NET8 installer through Wine
|
||||
(not Linux package manager)
|
||||
|
||||
2. Shader initialization failures
|
||||
FIX: Install d3dcompiler_47 via protontricks
|
||||
|
||||
3. .NET detection conflicts
|
||||
FIX: Run with: env -u DOTNET_ROOT -u DOTNET_BUNDLE_EXTRACT_BASE_DIR
|
||||
|
||||
4. GPU init errors (NVIDIA)
|
||||
Note: AMD/Mesa reported smoother
|
||||
|
||||
WORKFLOW ON LINUX:
|
||||
- Use MO2's "run executable" feature
|
||||
- Or run directly in your MO2 Wine prefix
|
||||
- Output goes to a mod folder you specify
|
||||
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
BASIC USAGE
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
1. Download PGPatcher from Nexus
|
||||
2. Extract somewhere (e.g., MO2/tools/PGPatcher/)
|
||||
3. In MO2: Tools → Executables → Add PGPatcher.exe
|
||||
4. Configure paths:
|
||||
- Instance: Your MO2 instance
|
||||
- Game: Skyrim installation
|
||||
- Output: A mod folder (e.g., "VOV - ParallaxGen Output")
|
||||
5. Run PGPatcher
|
||||
6. Enable the output mod in MO2
|
||||
|
||||
OPTIONS TO ENABLE:
|
||||
[ ] Parallax - basic depth textures
|
||||
[ ] Complex Material - metals, specular
|
||||
[ ] True PBR - full PBR textures (if you have PBR texture mods)
|
||||
[ ] Optimize - mesh optimization
|
||||
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
TEXTURE MOD COMPATIBILITY
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
PGPatcher auto-detects and patches for:
|
||||
|
||||
PARALLAX TEXTURES:
|
||||
- Look for _p.dds files (parallax/height maps)
|
||||
- Many texture mods include these
|
||||
|
||||
COMPLEX MATERIAL:
|
||||
- Uses environment mask for metallic/specular
|
||||
- More realistic than vanilla
|
||||
|
||||
TRUE PBR:
|
||||
- Full PBR workflow (albedo, normal, roughness, metallic)
|
||||
- Requires PBR-specific texture mods
|
||||
- Most realistic but heaviest
|
||||
|
||||
YOU CAN MIX:
|
||||
- Some areas parallax, some complex material, some PBR
|
||||
- PGPatcher handles the permutations

# Dynasty Mod — Design Document
|
||||
|
||||
**Concept:** A bridge mod connecting Acheron (death/defeat mechanics) and a fertility mod to create a generational dynasty system where your offspring become your "extra lives."
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** Early ideation / Discovery phase
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Concept
|
||||
|
||||
When the player dies (via Acheron's defeat system), instead of normal respawn:
|
||||
1. Check if heirs exist (from fertility mod's child registry)
|
||||
2. If heirs > 0: transition to a new character (your adult heir)
|
||||
3. If heirs == 0: true permadeath (or Acheron's default behavior)
|
||||
|
||||
**The children are your lives** — physically present in the world as a visible "lives remaining" indicator.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## The Hearthfire Limitation
|
||||
|
||||
Skyrim treats children and adults as **fundamentally different NPC types**:
|
||||
- Different actor bases, different skeletons
|
||||
- A child NPC cannot "grow up" into an adult NPC
|
||||
- Hearthfire scripts are notoriously difficult to work with
|
||||
|
||||
**Our solution:** Abstraction
|
||||
- Children from the fertility mod serve as **life tokens**, not literal future characters
|
||||
- On death: despawn one child, spawn a **new adult** via RaceMenu
|
||||
- The "real" heir is defined at death by the player
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Dynasty Flow
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
① DEFEAT/DEATH (Acheron hook)
|
||||
│
|
||||
▼
|
||||
② CHECK HEIRS (fertility mod registry)
|
||||
│
|
||||
├──► heirs == 0 ──► TRUE DEATH (Acheron default)
|
||||
│
|
||||
▼ heirs > 0
|
||||
③ FREEZE WORLD (pause, fade to black?)
|
||||
│
|
||||
▼
|
||||
④ OPEN RACEMENU ◄─── "Your bloodline continues..."
|
||||
│ (player customizes adult heir)
|
||||
│
|
||||
▼
|
||||
⑤ RACEMENU CLOSES (OnRaceMenuClose event)
|
||||
│
|
||||
▼
|
||||
⑥ FINALIZE HEIR
|
||||
• Despawn one child NPC
|
||||
• heirs -= 1
|
||||
• Transfer inheritance (items/gold/property)
|
||||
• Optional: partial skill inheritance
|
||||
│
|
||||
▼
|
||||
⑦ RESUME WORLD (new character, new life)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Genetic Inheritance System (MCM Options)
|
||||
|
||||
### Race Inheritance
|
||||
- **Freeform mode:** Full RaceMenu freedom, any race
|
||||
- **Bloodline mode:** Restricted to mama or papa's race
|
||||
|
||||
### MCM Settings (Proposed)
|
||||
```
|
||||
☑ Enable Genetic Inheritance
|
||||
|
||||
Race Options:
|
||||
○ Random (50/50 parent race)
|
||||
○ Player chooses (mama or papa only)
|
||||
○ Maternal line (always mama's race)
|
||||
○ Paternal line (always papa's race)
|
||||
|
||||
☐ Inherit appearance traits
|
||||
(hair color, skin tone from parent presets)
|
||||
|
||||
☐ Inherit partial skills (50% of parent levels)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Gene Distribution Formula
|
||||
```
|
||||
Heir Race = random(mama.race, papa.race)
|
||||
```
|
||||
Or: present player with choice of two buttons before RaceMenu:
|
||||
- "Mother's Blood (Nord)"
|
||||
- "Father's Blood (Breton)"
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Inheritance — What Carries Over?
|
||||
|
||||
| Category | Transfer? | Notes |
|
||||
|----------|-----------|-------|
|
||||
| Gold | ✅ Yes | Family wealth |
|
||||
| Items (configurable) | ✅ Heirlooms | Maybe "inheritance chest" at home |
|
||||
| Property/homes | ✅ Yes | Family estate |
|
||||
| Faction standings | ⚠️ Partial? | "Child of the Dragonborn" reputation |
|
||||
| Skills | ⚠️ Optional | 25-50% of parent levels? |
|
||||
| Spouse relationships | ❌ No | New character, new relationships |
|
||||
| Quest progress | ❓ TBD | Complex — probably not |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Technical Integration Points
|
||||
|
||||
### Acheron
|
||||
- **Need:** Hook into defeat/death event *before* respawn triggers
|
||||
- **Question:** Does Acheron have a "death alternative provider" API?
|
||||
- **Question:** Which specific hook allows us to intercept and redirect?
|
||||
|
||||
### RaceMenu
|
||||
- **Events:** `OnRaceMenuOpen` / `OnRaceMenuClose`
|
||||
- **Question:** Can we pre-set race and lock it (for bloodline mode)?
|
||||
- **Question:** Preset loading for inherited appearance traits?
|
||||
|
||||
### Fertility Mod
|
||||
- **Need:** Access to child registry (count, references)
|
||||
- **Need:** Ability to cleanly remove/despawn a child
|
||||
- **Question:** What data is stored per child?
|
||||
- Mother reference? ✅ Likely
|
||||
- Father reference? ⚠️ Maybe
|
||||
- Genetic data? ❓ Unknown
|
||||
- **Question:** How is child data stored? (Papyrus arrays? FormLists? StorageUtil?)
|
||||
|
||||
### Bridge Mod (This Mod)
|
||||
- Custom storage for inheritance data during RaceMenu transition
|
||||
- MCM menu for configuration
|
||||
- Event listeners for Acheron + RaceMenu
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Open Questions / Discovery Tasks
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Investigate Acheron's API — what hooks are available for death/defeat?
|
||||
- [ ] Check fertility mod scripts — what parent data is tracked per child?
|
||||
- [ ] Test RaceMenu — can race be pre-locked before opening?
|
||||
- [ ] Determine storage mechanism for inheritance during transition
|
||||
- [ ] Consider SkyrimNet integration — ancestral memories?
|
||||
- [ ] **Save bloat reduction:** When consuming/despawning a child, can we properly delete associated records (spawned NPC data, AI packages, relationship data) to reduce save file size? Investigate what the fertility mod stores and whether clean deletion is possible vs. just disabling the actor.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Major Technical Concern: Race Change Mid-Game
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** Changing race mid-save is a "big no-no" in Skyrim. Race is deeply wired into:
|
||||
- Base stats (Health/Magicka/Stamina starting values)
|
||||
- Racial abilities (Histskin, Berserker Rage, Dragonskin, etc.)
|
||||
- Skill bonuses (+10 Sneak for Bosmer, +10 Two-Handed for Nord, etc.)
|
||||
- Resistances (50% Fire resist Dunmer, 50% Frost resist Nord)
|
||||
- Height/speed/reach calculations
|
||||
- Voice type associations (some mods check this)
|
||||
|
||||
**When you change race via RaceMenu mid-save:**
|
||||
- Old racial abilities may persist (stacking bugs)
|
||||
- New racial abilities may not apply correctly
|
||||
- Skill values don't recalculate to new racial bonuses
|
||||
- Perks allocated based on old racial bonuses become misaligned
|
||||
- Mods that cached race at game start → potentially broken
|
||||
|
||||
### Possible Solutions
|
||||
|
||||
| Option | Description | Complexity | Safety |
|
||||
|--------|-------------|------------|--------|
|
||||
| **A: Lock race** | Heir must be mama or papa's race, no change allowed | Low | Safest |
|
||||
| **B: Stat reset** | Allow race change, but reset to fresh racial defaults (new character stats) | Medium | Medium |
|
||||
| **C: Race framework** | Build/find framework to properly strip old racials, apply new, recalc stats | High | Risky |
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation:** Start with Option A (lock to parent race) for v1.0. Only appearance changes in RaceMenu, race itself is pre-set based on genetic inheritance settings. This avoids the entire class of race-change bugs.
|
||||
|
||||
### Re-evaluation: Option B May Be Feasible
|
||||
|
||||
Without Requiem or complex stat overhauls, the math is actually catchable:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Modern Skyrim perk formula (Ordinator, Adamant, Vanilla+):
|
||||
- Perk points = Level (or Level + bonuses from skill mods)
|
||||
- Skills = Base (15) + Racial Bonus (0-10) + Training
|
||||
|
||||
On heir transition:
|
||||
1. Read: current level, perk points spent, skill levels
|
||||
2. Reset: skills to new racial defaults
|
||||
3. Grant: same number of perk points to redistribute
|
||||
4. Optional: inherit % of parent's skill levels as head start
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**The "lineage for the game" concept:**
|
||||
At character creation, you're not just choosing YOUR race — you're establishing your **dynasty's founding bloodline**. Partner choice becomes strategically meaningful: a Nord who partners with a Dunmer opens the Dunmer bloodline for future heirs.
|
||||
|
||||
This could work as an MCM toggle:
|
||||
- **Safe mode:** Race locked to parent (Option A)
|
||||
- **Dynasty mode:** Race change allowed with stat reset (Option B)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Balance Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
- **10 children limit** from fertility mod = 10 lives maximum
|
||||
- Good baseline for a challenging but fair dynasty playthrough
|
||||
- Could be configurable via MCM (allow more/fewer heirs)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## SkyrimNet Integration: The Context Problem
|
||||
|
||||
**The challenge:** With LLM-driven NPCs tracking memories and relationships, heir transition creates narrative chaos:
|
||||
|
||||
| NPC Role | Before Death | After Heir Transition | Challenge |
|
||||
|----------|--------------|----------------------|-----------|
|
||||
| Spouse | "My lover" | "My child who is now adult" | Very awkward / needs reframe |
|
||||
| Follower | "My Thane" | "My Thane's heir" | Relationship reset |
|
||||
| Friend | "We fought together" | "I fought with your parent" | Memory shift |
|
||||
| Enemy | "I'll kill you" | "I killed your father, now you" | Actually works great |
|
||||
|
||||
### Possible Solutions
|
||||
|
||||
**Option 1: Context injection on heir transition**
|
||||
- Broadcast event: "Previous player [Name] has died"
|
||||
- Inject into all NPC contexts: "The player you knew is dead. This is their heir [NewName]."
|
||||
- Reframe relationship memories: lover → parent, friend → elder acquaintance
|
||||
|
||||
**Option 2: Clean slate**
|
||||
- Wipe player-related memories on transition
|
||||
- Heir starts fresh, only inherits reputation (faction standing, bounties)
|
||||
- Simpler but loses narrative potential
|
||||
|
||||
**Option 3: Ancestral memory injection (complex but cool)**
|
||||
- NPCs remember the parent, speak of them in past tense
|
||||
- Heir can ask NPCs "Tell me about my father/mother"
|
||||
- Creates organic worldbuilding through gameplay
|
||||
|
||||
### The Spouse Problem
|
||||
|
||||
The most awkward case: your romantic partner is now your parent.
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
- On heir transition: spouse relationship → "parent" role
|
||||
- Spouse no longer romance-able (they're your mother/father now)
|
||||
- Could trigger unique dialogue: "I miss your father every day. You have his eyes."
|
||||
- Or: spouse dies of grief (dark but narratively clean)
|
||||
- Or: spouse becomes elder mentor figure
|
||||
|
||||
**This is where the mod gets either amazing or cursed.** Needs careful thought.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Design Philosophy: Meaning Over Gratification
|
||||
|
||||
**The problem with NSFW Skyrim modding:**
|
||||
Much of it is pure gratification — encounters happen, nothing changes. No consequences, no stakes, no narrative weight. The "gooner culture" is instinct-driven with no meaning attached.
|
||||
|
||||
**Dynasty mod as counter-culture:**
|
||||
This mod makes those systems *matter*:
|
||||
|
||||
| Aspect | Without Dynasty | With Dynasty |
|
||||
|--------|-----------------|--------------|
|
||||
| Intimate encounters | Animation, nothing changes | Potential heir, future life |
|
||||
| Partner choice | "Who's attractive" | Bloodline strategy, racial lineage |
|
||||
| Children | Spawned objects, maybe cute | Your literal extra lives |
|
||||
| Death | Reload save | Generational transition, story beat |
|
||||
| Relationships | Disposable | Long-term investment |
|
||||
|
||||
**The pitch:** Transform the NSFW side of Skyrim from gratification to genuine narrative stakes. Not everyone will want this — but for those who do, it offers something rare: *meaning*.
|
||||
|
||||
Inspired by Crusader Kings: seduction and heirs exist, but they *matter* because the dynasty continues through those choices.
|
||||
|
||||
### Design Principle: Consent as Foundation
|
||||
|
||||
This mod assumes relationships are **chosen**, not forced:
|
||||
- Heirs come from meaningful partnerships
|
||||
- The "lives" you're protecting came from something you built
|
||||
- Stakes emerge from care, not trauma
|
||||
|
||||
This is a deliberate counter to the non-consent defaults common in NSFW modding. Dynasty is about consequence flowing from choice — not drama extracted from violation. The mod pairs naturally with consent-respecting frameworks (OStim's negotiation, relationship-building mods, etc.).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Nice-to-Have (Future Scope)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Ancestral memories:** SkyrimNet memory fragments from previous generations
|
||||
- **Family tree visualization:** Track your dynasty's history
|
||||
- **Heir traits:** Random bonuses/maluses based on childhood events
|
||||
- **Rival dynasties:** NPCs with their own lineages

|
||||
- Immersive over gamey: systems that create emergent stories
|

- Avoid patch hell: smart choices over maximum features

||||
- Reason: Avoid bloat - followers don't need parallel need tracking
|
||||
- Use Creation Kit exposed functions for follower survival instead
|
||||
- Keeps script load lean
|
||||
|
||||
NOTES:
|
||||
- Disease system (Last Seed) still spreads through party
|
||||
- Synergizes with SkyrimNet - NPCs comment on your state
|
||||
- Native CC Survival = SkyrimNet can hook warmth/cold events directly
|
||||

================================================================================
|
||||
COMBAT STACK
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
Framework:
|
||||
- BFCO (Balanced Framework for Combat Overhaul) # Animation framework, movesets
|
||||
- Supports vanilla attack speed and directional heavy attacks
|
||||
- Compatible with ANY perk mod (Adamant, Ordinator, Vokrii)
|
||||
|
||||
Balance + NPC AI Layer:
|
||||
- Blade and Blunt (SimonRim) # Stamina, stagger, damage, blocking, NPC AI
|
||||
- DESIGNED to synergize with Adamant perks
|
||||
- DO NOT use Valhalla - B&B fills this role
|
||||
- INCLUDES NPC combat behavior changes (attack commitment, tactical decisions)
|
||||
- DO NOT use SCAR - B&B already covers NPC combat AI
|
||||
|
||||
Dodge:
|
||||
- TK Dodge RE # Dodge rolls with i-frames
|
||||
- Script-free rewrite (DLL-based, no Papyrus lag)
|
||||
- Works with BFCO animations
|
||||
- Stamina cost configurable
|
||||
- DO NOT use TK Dodge NG - only adds standing dodge (not needed)
|
||||
|
||||
Archery:
|
||||
- Bow Rapid Combo V3 # Archery combat overhaul
|
||||
- Smooth bow animations
|
||||
- Combo system for archery
|
||||
- Works with BFCO framework
|
||||
|
||||
Polish:
|
||||
- Precision # Hitstop, weapon trails, collision
|
||||
|
||||
Movesets:
|
||||
- [TBD - choose based on playstyle preferences]
|
||||
- BFCO has massive moveset library
|
||||
|
||||
WHY THIS WORKS:
|
||||
- BFCO = HOW attacks look and chain (animations)
|
||||
- TK Dodge RE = Responsive dodging with i-frames (mobility, script-free)
|
||||
- Bow Rapid Combo V3 = Archery feels fluid and combo-able
|
||||
- Blade and Blunt = HOW attacks feel, cost, AND how NPCs fight (balance + AI)
|
||||
- Adamant perks reference B&B mechanics = FULL SYNERGY
|
||||
|
||||
DECISIONS (2026-03-19):
|
||||
- REMOVED: SCAR
|
||||
- Reason: Blade and Blunt already handles NPC combat behavior
|
||||
- Stacking both = conflicting AI scripts, wasted overhead
|
||||
- B&B is SimonRim-native, integrates better with Adamant
|
||||
- ADDED: TK Dodge RE + Bow Rapid Combo V3
|
||||
- Fills mobility and archery gaps that BFCO+B&B don't cover
|
||||
- SKIPPED: TK Dodge NG
|
||||
- Only adds standing dodge feature - not needed
|
||||
|
||||

TESTED SCENARIO - Riverwood Romance:
|
||||
- Arrived in Riverwood
|
||||
- Made a moonlight rendezvous promise with Camilla
|
||||
- SkyrimNet stored the promise in memory
|
||||
- 2 hours later (in-game), sang song under silver moon
|
||||
- Camilla BROKE HER AI ROUTINE to meet - remembered the promise!
|
||||
- Sven (rival suitor) ALSO BROKE ROUTINE - came to confront!
|
||||
- Passive-aggressive scene ensued
|
||||
- THIS IS EMERGENT STORYTELLING
|
||||
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
CONTENT / GOAL
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
Main Goal:
|
||||
- Legacy of the Dragonborn (LOTD) # The museum - collect EVERYTHING
|
||||
- Clear purpose for exploration
|
||||
- Every item has a home
|
||||
- Collector's HQ (Safehouse)
|
||||
- Well-patched, mature mod
|
||||
|
||||
LOTD Additions:

JAYSERPA QUEST SUITE
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
Philosophy:
|
||||
- Vanilla quest improvements, not replacements
|
||||
- More roleplay options, better pacing
|
||||
- Same author as Stress and Fear = consistent design
|
||||
|
||||
At Your Own Pace:
|
||||
- At Your Own Pace # Slow down faction progression
|
||||
- https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/52704
|
||||
- Thieves Guild: Requirements before joining
|
||||
- College: Enter without joining, natural progression
|
||||
- Companions: Dialogue fixes, pacing
|
||||
- Dark Brotherhood: Lawful Good "Destroy" path
|
||||
- MCM configurable
|
||||
|
||||
Quest Expansions (pick what you want):
|
||||
- College of Winterhold - Quest Expansion # More college content
|
||||
- Thieves Guild Requirements # Earn your way in
|
||||
- Paarthurnax - Quest Expansion # Alternative to killing
|
||||
- The Only Cure - Quest Expansion # Peryite quest depth
|
||||
- House of Horrors - Quest Expansion # Molag Bal alternatives
|
||||
- The Whispering Door - Quest Expansion # Mephala quest depth
|
||||
- Headhunter - Bounties Redone # Bounty system overhaul
|
||||
- Missives # Radiant quest board (pairs well)
|
||||
|
||||
COMPATIBILITY NOTES:
|
||||
- JaySerpa mods designed to work together
|
||||
- At Your Own Pace has patch for College Quest Expansion (Optional Files)
|
||||
- Stress and Fear (already in stack) is JaySerpa = same philosophy
|
||||
- Pilgrim (SimonRim): Built-in prayer → stress reduction
|
||||
|
||||
WHY THIS WORKS:
|
||||
- SkyrimNet dynamic dialogue + JaySerpa quest depth = richer stories
|
||||
- At Your Own Pace prevents "Archmage in 2 hours" syndrome
|
||||
- More decision points = more opportunities for AI-driven consequences
|
||||
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
ECONOMY / LOOT / CRAFTING
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
Economy:
|
||||
- Evolving Value Economy # Dynamic market system
|
||||
- Item prices fluctuate based on supply/demand
|
||||
- Flooding a market depreciates item values
|
||||
- SYNERGY: SkyrimNet quests affect economy emergently
|
||||
- Your actions have economic consequences
|
||||
- NOTE: Mod hidden on Nexus - obtained via direct URL (archived)
|
||||
|
||||
Loot:
|
||||
- Morrowloot Ultimate # Deleveled, hand-placed artifacts
|
||||
- Artifacts in fixed, logical locations
|
||||
- Loot feels EARNED, not random
|
||||
- LOTD compatible - treasure hunting with purpose
|
||||
- Pairs with Arena (SimonRim) for full deleveling
|
||||
|
||||
Cooking:
|
||||
- Gourmet # SimonRim cooking overhaul
|
||||
- Cooking becomes a real skill
|
||||
- Meaningful food buffs
|
||||
- Works with Apothecary/Thaumaturgy
|
||||
- SYNERGY: Last Seed hunger + Gourmet cooking = food matters
|
||||
|
||||
Jewelry:
|
||||
- Immersive Jewelry SSE # Multiple rings, expanded jewelry
|
||||
- Wear more than one ring (finally!)
|
||||
- Lore-friendly new jewelry
|
||||
- LOTD displays for jewelry collection
|
||||
- Exception to "no unnecessary items" rule - this COMPLETES a system
|
||||
|
||||
WHY THIS WORKS:
|
||||
- Economy responds to your actions (EVE)
|
||||
- Loot is placed deliberately, not RNG (Morrowloot)
|
||||
- Cooking is meaningful with survival needs (Gourmet + Last Seed)
|
||||
- Jewelry has depth and purpose (Immersive Jewelry + LOTD)
|
||||
- SkyrimNet dynamic quests → economic ripples → emergent storytelling

DESIGN PRINCIPLES
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
1. SIMPLICITY > COMPLEXITY
|
||||
- No MIG partitioning on Blackwell
|
||||
- No vLLM multi-model complexity
|
||||
- One big creative model, one structured output model, one vision model
|
||||
|
||||
2. MODEL SIZE MATTERS FOR JSON
|
||||
- Key learning: 27B models follow JSON schemas reliably
|
||||
- 8B models (including abliterated) struggle with structured output
|
||||
- Route all JSON tasks to Gemma-27B
|
||||
|
||||
3. TASK-BASED ROUTING
|
||||
- Creative dialogue → Large model (Euryale-70B)
|
||||
- Structured output → Gemma-27B
|
||||
- Vision/OmniSight → Qwen3-VL-8B
|
||||

||||

CONFIGURATION NOTES
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
Context Management:
|
||||
- event_history_count_dialogue: 25 (reduced from 50 to fit context)
|
||||
- Narration: DISABLED in SkyrimNet.yaml (Piper.yaml → narrative: enabled: false)
|
||||
- Agent prompt includes "spoken dialogue only" instruction
|
||||
|
||||
Temperature Settings:
|
||||
- Dialogue (Euryale): 0.8 (creative, varied)
|
||||
- Structured (Gemma): 0.3-0.4 (consistent JSON)
|
||||
- Vision (Qwen-VL): 0.7 (descriptive)
|
||||
|
||||
Structured Outputs:
|
||||
- CharacterProfileGen: use_structured_outputs: true
|
||||
- DiaryGeneration: use_structured_outputs: true
|
||||
- memory: use_structured_outputs: true
|
||||
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
LESSONS LEARNED
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
From March 15-17 experimentation:
|
||||
|
||||
1. QWEN MODELS USE PYTHON TRIPLE-QUOTES IN JSON
|
||||
- Qwen-based models (including some Magidonia variants) output ```json blocks
|
||||
- This breaks SkyrimNet's JSON parsing
|
||||
- Solution: Use Gemma for JSON, Euryale/Llama for dialogue
|
||||
|
||||
2. STRICT ROLE ALTERNATION (Qwen/Magidonia via llama.cpp)
|
||||
- Qwen Jinja templates enforce strict user/assistant alternation
|
||||
- llama.cpp native enforces this strictly
|
||||
- Ollama normalizes templates (more forgiving)
|
||||
- If using Qwen-based models: route through Ollama
|
||||
|
||||
3. MODEL SIZE > ABLITERATION FOR JSON
|
||||
- 27B follows instructions reliably
|
||||
- 8B (even abliterated) struggles with structured output
|
||||
- Don't route JSON tasks to small models
|
||||
|
||||
4. CONTEXT OVERFLOW PREVENTION
|
||||
- Bumped ctx-size: Gemma-27B 4K→16K
|
||||
- Reduced event_history_count_dialogue 50→25
|
||||
- Right-sized token budgets per variant
|
||||
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
Nimmerverse Integration (see ARCHITECTURE-RESEARCH.md):
|
||||
- [ ] Oghma Infinium lore RAG → Iris (ChromaDB)
|
||||
- [ ] Memory migration to unified ChromaDB
|
||||
- [ ] Knowledge gating service (MCP/HTTP)
|
||||
- [ ] Gossip network via NATS
|
||||
|
||||
Model Upgrades:
|
||||
- Monitor Euryale updates (currently v2.3)
|
||||
- Consider Gemma-3 upgrades when available
|
||||
- Vision: Qwen-VL evolving rapidly
|
||||
|
||||
CPU Inference (Deferred):
|
||||
- Function Gemma 270M was planned but not needed
|
||||
- Gemma-27B handles structured output well
|
||||
- Revisit if latency becomes an issue

||||
