What is your character doing at the time? For example, are you completing an action like casting flames? I'll need some more information to try and recreate the bug so I can try and fix it. Best info would be if you get the same problem using only my mod.

I did, I even reloaded the game and it still does it

The fix is to stop sneaking, or unequip and reequip the boots. See note #1.

I have it but I've reached this bug where whenever I try to use it it just flashes invisibility on and off rapidly and the sound alerts everyone nearby and ruins the point of them

Look under my notes in the Description.

Yup, its a bug with the script engine. Just go visible and then sneak again.

sometimes when I sneak the smoke aura keeps happening and wont stop, has anyone else had this problem?

Glad you fixed it.

oh me are idiot I put this " with a commands

hi I just want to look for console Shadow boots and its didnt show up a ID so what to do again sorry for my inglish its again me xD

Glad it worked for you so well!

Really Thanks! it work perfectly!! done all what you sayd and now i'm invisible, sneaky, with that cool black aura, and without life detect. Is a fantastic mod, thanks for your hard work!

Well that is slightly difficult as the Detect life spell is used as a carrier for the invisibility. However, you can try to turn off the colors. The spell will still be cast, you just wont see it's results.

Open the file in CK and search for a magic effect starting with IBDetectLife.
Open the Enemy and Friendly effects and set the Visual Effects to NONE. (i.e. set both Hit Shader and Image Space Mod to NONE) You should still go invisible on crouching, but nolonger be able to see the detect life. Good luck!

hi! this is fantastic mod, but the detect life, hurt my eyes, there is a version without detect life?
if not (and you don't want to make it), can explayn faster how to remove that effect with creation kit?

My pleasure

Yeah. Right after I posted my comment, I tried "Shadow boots" with quotation marks. That did the trick. I'll keep this mod for every sneak assassin. THANK YOU!

@kriecher:

You need to type: help "shadow boots", into the console. This will give you a hex code you can use with the player.additem xxxxxxxx command where the x's are replaced with the hex code.

If no hex code shows up, it's because the mod hasn't been downloaded.

For some reason when I type "Shadow boots" in the console nothing happens. Is it a mod? Or am I typing it wrong?

@ themibjc:
Glad you like it. Just on a side note, I think muffle is included in the detect life enchantment, so you don't need to add it yourself.

This is my favourite mod item, the ONLY flaw is the detect life which is always on. If it activated while sneaking this would be perfect. Never the less I still use it all the time, I've disenchanted the boots & put it on a ring with muffle to add extra stealth. this is as near to the 'Gray Cowl of Nocturnal' as I have yet found well done, may shadow hide you my friend....JC

ok ill tri thanks man

you have to use the console to search for it. The number depends on the load order of your mods. Type Help "Shadow Boots" and then use the player.additem number that goes with your find.

player.additem what??

You can use the console to give yourself a pair, the name is in the description, or complete the quest Darkness Returns. A pair of boots are located in a chest within the Twilight Sepulcher as a better reward. I did put this in the description...

where are the bootss?????

I've made it the reward for the thives guild quest line. I thought it was better then then vanilla reward.

Starting my 5th run in Skyrim. Sneaky/Mage-y character. Greatly looking forward to this one ^_^.
Now I just need to set up the role-play reason for their getting access to such power O_o

One thing I might add about this, but your enchantment level doesn't effect the invisibility enchantment.

Thanks, even if it does not effect the duration, a potion one would be great since as a theif you dont tend to be a mage and the new charateristics of Skyrim's invisibility are very annoying.

I suppose I could come up with a potion form, but it would only have a short duration. If I get enough interest in the potion form I'll try and get one put up.

Is there a potion form of this mod oe does it only effect enchantments?

thanks bro.love this mod

Nice idea.

this is more like it having this mod for the stealthy players

@MrMeows: Sorry you don't like it. I agree that it isn't enough like Chamelon, but my programming skills are not up to that big an overhaul of the vanilla game. I also agreed that it was over powered, but I also thought the reward for the thief's guild quest was too under powered, so I felt the two balenced out.

Not enough like Chamelon and too overpowered for my tastes. Also too hard to obtain for my tastes.

I do enjoy the mod! Very much so, my fine sir!

Just hope you enjoy the mod.

No worries, we've all had those.

< Deleted newb comments... To hide his shame.

That is the constant detect life. Friendly's flash blue, enemies flah red.

Sorry, but the code will change depending on the load order of your mod.
to get it through the console you have to follow these steps:
1- Type Help "Shadow boots"
2- look for the 8 digit hex number ( numbers from 0 to 9 and A B C D E F)
3- type player.additem xxxxxxxx 1 where the x's are replaced with the hex number above.
Hope this helps

oops I mean the boots

ok I fixed it I was having a noob moment ^^; turns out I had dropped the ring off att a chest without realizing it

Can't you put the enchantment on a ring? I'll look into this!

oh if only this were a ring, but it's a nice mod none the less.

Great mod, thanks, just a note to everyone, installing the mod "the ring of sunnies woe" actually removes the glitch of the effect cascading over and over, All you have to do is equip both items, although the invisibility animation will be different (will change to the same as shadow warrior) I use both of them and it works perfectly. Also, it keeps the properties listed above like npcs detect you if you bump in to them. Thanks, and have fun

Arr, didnt read the description, awesome, thanks for a very good mod bro.

So the Thieves Guild and the Nightingale Armor have the enchantment? AWESOME

The thieves guild and Nightingale armors are now up. Also, I've made the Nightingale armor and the shadow boots to be a better reward for finishing the Darkness Returns quest.
I felt that the loss of that nice item (the skeleton Key) should have been offset by a better reward, but maybe it's only me... Enjoy
