The fastest and only (legal) way is to go into your Steam folder and just run the steam.exe! ( I think it was that one, it was some month I upgraded to Win7, the most simple fix I seen currently to all the titles I have on Steam), It will fix everything including your other Steam games. A lot faster than a complete reinstall since you any way need to registry your account on Steam again since you reinstalled your OS.

You know this is close to necromancy :whistling: , however finding stuff about heightmaps and tools to manipulate those are scarse. When this guide starts to mention the usage of TESAnnwyn (this is the point you need start to do things diffrently) you should read the documentation that was included from this site TESAnnwyn homepage There are lot of details, MW differs from OB and forward in scale for instance, and there are some other considerations too. I hope this will guide you a bit further :thumbsup:

Strange, I made a real silly little new worldspace island with a door, height painted a bit and saved with no fuzz. Closed GECK. Started GECK again, opened the mod turned into height map editing, moved around with some hight pixels again and saved and it did save. Only differ without knowing is that I started with adding a door (to get a fixed height point), turn on wireframe and editing the first ground mass above water directly in the world editor, but this should not matter. Anyhow you might have done alright, GECK is infamous to be unpredictable when creating new worldspaces. Save often and keep backups is the advice I have seen a lot when touching this subject. :-)

Hi, Can you tell a bit more how far you got and what you try to save? It will help me or even better someone that exactly know what you must do, to help you out :-) There are not many full fledged howto's on this subject, but this for instance got me on right way for some of the basic requirements for a new worldspace. note: it's still a WIP. Creating a Custom Worldspace for Fallout 3 (WIP) It tells some steps before you even can start make hightmaps. I have not done new worldspaces for FNV but did some test worlds for FO3 and they worked.

I made a (note personal) fast test and with the random poses I tested, it worked like a charm. More interesting is if Backsteppo want it to be ported to NV. I think that is more the why it has not yet been done. Or maybe if someone asks politely.

Hi, I presume you talking about a plugin that highlight the different commands if you scripting for OB and so on? If you have to ask what to use I presume you will be happy with ANSI version. :smile: Normally all other users are painfully aware already and choose the UNICODE version. The ANSI give you all normal English characters and works also for some European languages (that don't have to much letters with strange dots, lines and circles above, under or in the characters). UNICODE is for the world outside U.S.A. (at last our fellows in America got that A to Z is not the end of letters and usually have started to support UNICODE in computer programs :happy: ) like in Asia and middle East when you use languages that not is based at all on the general alphabet A-Z. To get the full story try this Wikipedia UNICODE If there are more into this two version plugin for Notepad++ than just letters used, please give a link to the download and I or maybe others can help you out further. Hope that clears what to choose for your personal use.

I think I have to agree with Qwaxalot. Since you have external power, lack of it should not be the issue. Also even if the size of the drive was not supported Windows should at least give you a pop up that a new device was connected, but not supported. USB units are handled a bit different from internally connected drives, BIOS settings should not be an issue, unless you try to boot from it (but that's another story). It sounds like it truly is defect, sorry.

Can you give us the product name, please? It would make it easier to all to help you if we know what model you try to get running. I have experienced terrible with one product USB external drive from Iomega. In my and other peoples experience the main reasons have been these: One, the USB cable shipped was of low quality changing it to another solved the issue. Two, these take lot of power and sometimes the USB ports connected can't supply with enough power in that case the drive can't start up correctly (also you can have strange "click" sounds from the drive). If possible try to use USB ports (If you got a cable with two USB plugs to connect to the PC, and the PC got like 4 or 6 ports) from different USB pairs that might give enough power to start the drive.

For FO3 there is the Vertibird mod but it do use FOSE to work. The moder asked here if there was interest on porting it to NV http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/topic/250256-need-a-flying-vehicle-mod/ If you ask him he might tell why FOSE is needed at all. I'm far from native in English so it often reads funny just so you know. :smile:

For sure, I rest, there is no point to stir up a scene.

Hi, You know "aircraft" just ticked me to have a look what you want, but well the rest make me regret it! The team behind FOSE and NVSE is in no way the culprit in the way of your "wishes", actually they are the solution or openers to the "issue" you claim to exist (If you're not a pure CPU assembly code coder I will put this to an end here! Because in that case you not knowing what you dealing with!). After OB when (I don't know why Bethesda abandoned the general "mount stead" function, but they did!) the only way to get something similar was to use FOSE and NVSE! (you still with me?) Saiden put a mod up for a hoverboard solution as a W.I.P (for FO3). I know others made a motorcycle mod similar to the stuff you claim as a "want to" still AFIK using FOSE. I still having a real hard time to understand WHY people STILL think FOSE or NVSE is bad! (To put this in a more general question how fluid is you about using MS Windows OS systems? Me and for sure Others will love to enlighten you into all the flavors of the little quirks MS Windows what ever version trick you into think is malware. Because FOSE and NVSE will not make you harm unless you are...... ( and I hope you're not!)) You know these guys have been around since OB and they have NEVER disappointed me, so if you have some issue with these guys, Well bring it on!

@OracleOfHades Welcome to the forum. First, please! take note of the TOS, I think Dante already pointed out some of it when editing your post, It would be a pity to loose you before you even know what you can get on this forum and sites. And as chaospearl hint at declaring yourself as a girl in this early state might/will? get you unwanted attraction (I thought those kind of creatures was lost a decade ago). For the subject, you sure this is a mod? There is lot of people that uses OB similar to folk's using Poser to create stories and screen shoots. If you insist please give us some names or indications but not links or more (explicit) pictures (that might really get you on a bad term with the moderators). As suggested Sexlivion is the closest I also know about, since I like to try out new and odd stuff (I might regret to tell that at all since that some people instantly will put me side by side with this dude :devil: ) I did try to get that mod running a couple of years ago with mixed results, but I'm not sure there was any threesome in that one at all but for the rest (If I remember right) you will get your share. For sure let us know if you found what you searched for or still have trouble get it, there for sure sooner or later will be one that exactly know the history about your pictures, you just have to be a bit patience.

Well, If you ask me Malo's body resize mod is in the top list of the 10 most interesting mods for 2010. Silly enough there is few that understood the potential of Malo's work. Also there was some boring Game engine limitations to fully flavor the ingenious work of Malo. This limited the use of the mod in FO3 at least with the approach Malo used. For NV I'm not sure (still technical game engine limits?), and to put it like this: If Malo not approve a NV port of his work then there will be none! This is a humble stance to accept the will of people that as you say spend weeks of work on something.

Thanks ub3rman123 for the reply. Indeed it is related to reseting the counter. I actually found the setting again, must have been to tired. Under General settings -> Search Settings -> View New Content Method change that to "Show me all content that I have not read" Then new posts will stay put until you decide to hit the "Mark all as read"

Hi, I at least "try" to skim through all new posts on the forum (at the moment increase about 250 a day). The last few days I can only view two three pages and then all is reset and I hit the last page?! A couple of month ago I found a setting on my forum profile that made me able to have my time when paging through all new posts, I can find this no more, is it removed? Is this related to the overhaul of the sites? Should I just wait and all will be nice and cozy when the little bytes do what they are intended to? :smile:

Good thing with the backups. Then it likely is some kind of hardware issue (three reboots) with the current rig. Since it is so close to get the new one it's not much worth to spend time on the old one (if you not plan to keep it do something else, in that case it could still be worth the time to find what causes the problem). Did you care to check if the capacitors on the mother board is still locking good?

Hi, The general "boring answer" is you got something on your system that you not wanted... :whistling: Now the other more truly path is that your old system hanging on the last strain of life, I have more than once over the years seen systems with the most peculiar errors with totally irrlogical reasons until I investigated the motherboards and found they had "popped" capacitors. Normally any alu. thin cans on the motherboard shall be flat on the top, if they are round or even worse, there seems to be a brown or similar leak on them, your MB is doomed. If this truly is the case be gentle when running the PC or better not run it at all since you have a high risk to start corrupt files on the hard drive. If it is so close to get a new comp. it might be better in this case to let it rest and when you get the new one connect your old hard drive and salvage as much as possible.

A starter is to familiarize with the Bethesda GECK wiki, Like here: http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php/DisablePlayerControls Remember to turn on control again afterwards or you become a sitting duck. Almost anything regarding functions is documented here and also more or less all FOSE and NVSE commands when vanilla script don't is enough. Happy scripting

@Feltmarskal What's your power supply rated at? 500, 600, 700W? The games you have problems with is not what I notice as GPU killers (like Crysis, that game burnt up an 8800GT card for me). If you get high pitched noises like tinnituses, that indicate some kind of high power switch circuits failures in the power supply or on the mother board. Might be on the GPU as some others suggested also but I'm more inclined to think you have the problem somewhere else in your rig than on the GPU card. Your sure this sound is not from your speakers? If so it not make things more easy to solve but it point at things that might make others give a more precise diagnosis. :thumbsup:

If you install the latest FOMM from here http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36901 And after install, Run it and select Tools from the menu bar, the last option is to toggle Archive Invalidation. Select it and it will start to work. Simple as that. Ah! Herculine beat me, As she said but with other words, still puzzled what to do?

Ah, Normally NifSkope finds the assets self if you open the File tab and select Resource Files, it will show where it searches. You never need/should tamper with the game .BSA files who told you that? The .BSA is your safe house these files contains your original game assets in a packed way. The nice thing as I told you is that textures you put in the Data/Texture folder and mimic the original place of the texture (in the .BSA) will override what you have in the .BSA. If your not happy remove the file and the texture in .BSA will take over. All this of course needs the genius ArchiveInvalidationInvalidadted!.BSA that make it all like a walk in the park. http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=944 This function is inbuilt in FOMM if you run that tool. You can make this file by hand with notepad also, but when you can get it fully automated why bother. For the NifSkope issue this is the same. If Nifskope is setup right it will fetch textures from your game folder, and if Data/textures/creatures/libertyprime folder contains the textures you want to look at they will show up. Hope this helps a bit to get your textures showing

Hi, I'm not sure why you do all this work, if you only want to change the textures then you play with the libertyprime_x.dds files and put them back in Data/textures/creatures/libertyprime folder. That's almost it. If you do really want to change the .NIF file paths to another folder path I still think you need to at least put it under Data/textures/ - somewhere - folder if the game will accept the change. Can you elaborate a bit what you want to achieve? It sounds that you try do more than "just" change the texture since you started diving into NifSkope already.

Well, in that case Bethesda/Obsidian team did successes with the intention to make all the factions in NV "equal" in lot of aspects. I remember a video from Bethesda site when they pushed hard on to not have just a good side and a bad side (like FO3) to choose from and instead push the player to take an active role into whom they wanted to support or maybe even none of them. I find Mr.House as you say both! It seems to started good and with good intentions, but after 200 year in a machine it feels the bad part taken over and he turned into a more cynical calculator than a human of flesh and blood. I took the more provocative path and wanted to be the new Kingpin of it all myself, but currently the game ends where all the fun you might taken into your mind to achieve for NewVegas area should begin.

Take a peek here http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13970 Kalten1979/Malos made a great effort in implementing Resize Mod for FO3, but seems lack of interest from community got it stalled. However the idea is splendid, it would just need one body mesh to morph into different body sizes and styles.

Well, the new update today already :teehee: version 1.2.0.285 for the moment seems to solved Ref 1 and 2 issues. Wonder what we got for new surprise instead :biggrin:
