Note: 

- WILL be used in a commercial game

- I am well aware such scripts already exist but I want something different, a difficulty script that works similar to Skyrim's own system and easily customisable by me so I can add and remove stats at will as well as decide the names of said difficulty. The option will come up via in-game event along with the option to enable hardcore mode in a manner similar to the script used in Skyward Temple.

Can you explain why the existing scripts do not work and require a new script?

I never said they don't work but not exactly what I am looking for, I want a difficulty script that uses a multiplier based difficulty system that works the same way skyrim's system works.

Look, man. Not everyone played skyrim, such a script you are asking is way easy to do, but, how we scripters that NEVER played Skyrim are going to know what you are looking for?

If you can explain EXACTLY what the system in Skyrim does i may try it.

Also,please don't answer this with: "you are missing a great game pal".I have my own reasons to never have played that game.

The way difficulty in Skyrim works on a multiplier based system for both the enemies and the player. It takes the base stats and multiplies them. I gave a link to the wiki article in the first post that explains how the difficulty in Skyrim works.

Also for Hardcore mode I want the player to actually be able to save, but the moment they get game over, it greys out the save slot with a note saying the party is dead in red text with only the option to delete it.

I use a script that makes it so the player cant save any other slot then the one that is currently loaded.

The Wiki says nothing about this HardCore mode.

The difficulty as far as it's writen in the wiki i EXACTLY like any of these other difficulty Scripts...

Again, please, write how exactly you want.

(Where is Shaz when we need him?... :( )

There is no hardcore mode in Skyrim. I simply want it to be added in as an option. How could you have missed that?

What I basically want is a difficulty script where you can select the difficulty you want as well the option to play through normally (able to restart on gameover) or hardcore (perma-death).  If the player dies in hardcore, the save is greyed out with a message in the slot stating the party is dead in red text. So the player can't reload the save, at this point the only way they can use it again is to delete it and start over again/ 

But the user must not be able to change the difficulty once the game starts.

I want to be able to add and remove difficulties as I see fit and adjust them as I see fit with a max multiple of 100x and a minimum of .001x (I doubt I will ever actually go that high or low but it allows for a wide range of customization).

I want it so that hardcore or normal mode is chosen after the difficulty. Players must be able to save during the game!

OK. Also could create an addon for the script. Players should have a reminder of what difficulty the profile is on before they load the game as well as an indicator of rather if hardcore mode is enabled,

I'm sorry I meant to put that first sentence in the form of a question.

What's the progress?

Sorry bud but the script is unsatisfactory. I didn't want to just a hardcore mode script, I wanted a difficulty script as well. You failed to meet my expectations therefore I'm turning your script down.

I wont apologize for sounding too picky as I have to be picky.

Actually, i didn't make it for you.

I just had take your "idea" and made the way it would be better for my game.

Since i am already using Theo's Difficulty script, i have no need to make exactly the same thing.

Lastly, i don't care if you are picky.You are right in being Picky.

With such a very complicated script request, I doubt if anyone would make it for you for free, sadly, especially you've indicated it will be used for a commercial game. Scripters would not surely burn their eyebrows making it without anything to offer, not even "thanks, I'll credit you in my project" works.

Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
