=== INSTALLATION ===
To make a custom race based on RaceCompatibility by expired6978 compatible with
Dawnguard just overwrite the original mod files with the ones included in this
package.
For users of the unofficial Skyrim (Legendary) patch (which I highly recommend),
you should use the optional compatibility files; just overwrite.
For users of both USKP/USLEEP and UFO (Ultimate Follower Overhaul), there is
another compatiblity patch you should use.
If you use USKP/USLEEP (with or without UFO) please also load the
RaceCompatibilityUSKPOverride.esp. It should end up after the unofficial
patches in the load order. This will ensure that the changes made by this mod
are not overridden by the USKP/USLEEP.
For users of Better Vampires, please overwrite the scripts with the ones found
in the optional Better Vampires folder. Please note there is a separate readme
that explains how you should reset Better Vampires in case you are running
into issues with an existing vampire character.
=== NOTE ON RESETTING THE PLAYERVAMPIREQUEST ===
When installing certain mods that modify vampirism, it may be necessary to reset
the quest managing the vampire transformation. If you aren't a vampire yet, you
can just do the following in the console:
stopquest PlayerVampireQuest
resetquest PlayerVampireQuest
startquest PlayerVampireQuest
That should reset the quest. If you are already a vampire, you may want to first
revert your race to normal and then get reinfected, just to be sure.
=== NOTES ON MULTIPLE CUSTOM RACES FIX ===
Version 1.2 of this mod introduces a fix for an issue I discovered in the
original RaceCompatibility mod:
When you use multiple custom races based on the RaceCompatibility mod (this can
include certain companion mods), there is a possibility that when you transform
into a vampire you end up as the wrong race. The problem is caused by the fact
that RaceCompatibility uses 2 lists to handle the vampire transformation:
one with all normal races and one with all vampire versions of the same race.
When you install a custom race, the mod adds these races to the lists. It is
important that the normal race and the vampire version end up in the same
position in their respective lists. Because Skyrims scripting system is
multi-threaded, multiple custom races can mess up the order of these lists,
as they all try to modify those lists at the same time.
It doesn't mean it WILL happen, only that it CAN, and I have personally
experienced it twice.
This is fixed in version 1.2; this fix will work best if you start a new game,
since this is when the bug occurs. So that is what I would recommend.
If you start a new game you can stop reading here.
If you really want to continue playing with your current character(s), there is
a way to fix it by using the console, it takes some work, but it will fix the
race order for your current playthrough; please keep a backup save handy in
case you make a mistake. It basically involves 4 steps:
Step 1. Stop all racecontroller quests:
open the console and enter the following command:
help racecontroller 4
this should display a list of quests called RaceController;
for each of those quests enter the following command to stop the quest:
stopquest
where you replace with the names of the quests in the
list.
Step 2. Resetting the race lists:
Because the order of the lists is most likely not correct, you will need to
reset the lists; to reset the lists you will need to find out what id the lists
have. This is a bit tricky, since their id is not the same for everyone,
because it is affected by your mod load order.
Enter the following command:
sqv RaceDispatcher
this will output a list of quest script variables, with their ids; look for
PlayableRaceList and PlayableVampireList. Their ids should look like XX000D62
and XX000D63 respectively, where XX is the position of RaceCompatibility.esm
in your load order.
Now enter the following commands, replacing XX with the correct number:
revertformlist XX000D62
revertformlist XX000D63
This will clean out the custom races from the lists so we can start adding them
again in the proper order.
Step 3. Resetting the quests:
For each of the racecontroller quests you stopped in Step 1, now call the
following command, replacing with the actual names:
resetquest
Step 4. Starting the quests:
For each of the racecontroller quests you stopped in Step 1, now call the
following command, replacing with the actual names:
startquest
Done! You should now have a correctly ordered pair of lists. So when you are
now turned into a vampire you don't end up as a completely different race.
If you already were turned into a vampire and you fear you were turned into
the wrong race, you can check with the function "GetPCIsRace " to
see what race you are and use "player.setrace " to correct it if
you were not the correct race. So for example to see if my character was an
Ashen vampire I would use:
GetPCIsRace OraezeRaceVampire
This command will return 1 if my character was indeed a vampire of this race
and 0 if my character was another race. Note that "OraezeRaceVampire" is the
editor name of the Ashen vampire race in the Creation Kit. That is the name
you need to use.
