HeyYou

Have a look at how the game devs did the trip to Far Harbor. :) (boat, instead of ballon.)

Depends on which game, and if they are 'kill scenes' for NPC's, or for the player.

This. You can only post in the comments section on the mod page itself. Not in the forum page. The latter screws up the formatting in the comments page. :D

And a fair few folks don't realize there is a little checkbox for "Ask where to download files." in their browser settings. :)

Seems to be a rash of this going around, several threads in the Vortex support forums about it, may wanna have a peek in there.

Place Everywhere.

A weapon mod? What did it change in DC that would cause a crash?? Wonder if it was just a conflict between that one, and one of the diamond city mods.

Probably. It would be pretty foolish of them not to design the system so it can check if it already has a local copy of the file before downloading it. The information is file specific, so that would be quite easy to do. With that, someone who has local copies could just dump them in the download folder of their mod manager and skip the downloading process. A sensible idea to add to your feedback if it isn't already in place. No one has solicited my feedback on the collections system.... at least, not recently. :) Having the tool simply able to create the file necessary to restore mods from an archive location on the local machine would be great. :) I have almost every mod I have ever download on my NAS. (yeah, they go back quite a ways.) So, dumping the reinstall information into that folder as well, and having a 'one-click reinstall' would be incredibly useful. :D

I see another potential feature of collections there..... install a collection from a local source......

No. Authors own the content. What happens to it should be completely up to them. They should be able to remove THEIR files whenever they choose, for any reason they choose.

Hard to say. Just depends on whose reviews you look at. The Nvidia card has a MUCH larger market share.... but, that really doesn't mean much. I looked at three different review sites, and got three different opinions..... :D

That would require breaking pre-combines, which is a major hit on performance, and also has a tendency to introduce visual anomalies as well.

That fact that you don't want the job, tells me you would be perfect for it. If you run for president, I would vote for you. :D

Uninstall the diamond city mods. Not just deactivate, uninstall. See what happens.

Shockingly, Nexus doesn't agree with you. They knew the cost of their decision and considered it worth it. We shall see how that works out for them. Sorry to be the guy who will say that, but will work for them... because people here are fighting something that clearly will not change, and people are fighting here on nexus forums, this alone shows how much power they have. I wrote this already but will write again, users are the ones that should be fighting this, not mod authors, they will pay the price (money price), not authors... What MA should be doing is not arguing about copyright, ownership etc... they should talk about other places and take their work and put on other platforms, from LL, moddb, curseforge, moddrop, modworkshop etc... and see how it goes, give the users a option and maybe we can have a change, maybe a topic about places to go will bring more attention than topics about copyright. Yeah, and that is pretty much what I expect to happen. Some will leave, most will stay, and Nexus will continue on. They have the lions share of the market right now, and have dominated it for years. That isn't something that is going to change very quickly. Of course, I am sure they are aware of that, so felt free to do whatever they wanted, knowing that it would be a minor blip, then life would go on.

It's run by Minority Rule, thanks to the Racist Electoral College, and encourages candidates to ignore FORTY STATES, because they only need to focus on a handful to win Instead of every vote counting, it has just become a game of "Win these certain states and you win the Presidency" and it's no secret why the Republicans are making very suppressive voting laws in those Key States that Trump lost. Because Republicans have no platform, they're only working for Corporations and the 1% now, and their philosophy is so unpopular they need to rig elections, gerrymander and try and legislate Democrats completely out of the Government. They've turned the US Map Red, because they've spread to the lower legislature in all the states like a slow spreading cancer, and gerrymandered the maps so only they can win, (Wisconsin, where Democrats won, yet Republicans STILL picked up 6 seats), they strip any Democratic Governor of Power, just like they did when I Democrat became Governor in Michigan, and Wisconsin, the first thing Republicans did was strip them of Power. Republicans are only interested in a ONE-PARTY, Minority Controlled Authoritarian Oligarchy They prove it time and time again, with their gaslighting with tactics straight from Orwell's "1984" Republicans want Minority Rule, and a one party system, and if they get all three branches of Government in 2022 and 2024, it's the end of Democracy, especially if they manage to get that Dictator Wannabe Trump back in. Here's the Republican plan in a nutshell... "The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.” ― George Orwell, 1984" I am curious how that is any different than what the dems do when they are in power....... Neither party has the best interests of the country in mind when they pass their laws. They only want what is best for THEM, doesn't matter which party they belong to. There are a few planks in their respective platforms that differ, but, there is much more in common than you would think. Please note, that a fair few republican policies are still continuing, even the the dems control a good chunk of the government. Also note, the dems like to portray themselves as 'anti-war', but obama got us involved in two more while he was in office, even though one of his stated goals was to get us out of them.... Biden actually pulling us OUT of Afghanistan is most certainly a vote in his favor, but, he still pushes policies that I vehemently disagree with. :D

Shockingly, Nexus doesn't agree with you. They knew the cost of their decision and considered it worth it. We shall see how that works out for them.

Why are you guys so far up your own butt that you think that Nexus will ignore advice from mod authors even when it is beneficial to the Nexus? You think the staff are entirely driven by spite now? the bold/italics part. It would be wise, and beneficial to nexus, to reconsider their position on file deletions. Just in case you haven't noticed, there is a pretty large pushback against that particular move. I don't see Nexus listening to mod authors on this one, even though it WOULD be beneficial to Nexus. Well, maybe not so much any more. Nexus has pretty much tanked any trust that once existed.

It's not a delusion at all as we are literally working with mod authors on the new system as part of the internal testing going on right now (which is also referenced in the news post even). As we're making progress, we'll be adding more mod authors to the testing group and their input is and will be shaping the collections feature. We do not claim ownership of any mods you upload to our site. Anything alluding to the contrary is completely false. Please stop making such claims or we'll have to moderate against it. Right. You will have to excuse me if I take anything you say with a grain or three of salt. My question would be, where were these mod authors when you told them you were going to take away their ability to delete their mods? Or did you carefully screen for folks that wouldn't care? And no, you don't "Claim" ownership, at least, not outright, but, that is effectively what you have. Upload it here, and here it stays, and you folks can do pretty much whatever you want with it. The original author, (legal owner of the IP) can't delete it. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, waddles like a duck, chances are REALLY good its a duck.

Showler is the only one operating under the delusion that Nexus will work with mod authors on the new system. The rest of us are well aware that we don't get a voice in this. I also believe that you are indeed correct. After the deadline, nothing will change. Nexus will proceed along their path, exactly as they have already defined. If you upload here, you are essentially handing ownership of your mod to Nexus. No one is going to take this to court, so, the ToS will stand. Nexus has all the power here. Mod Authors have no influence over any decisions here. Of course, this means that the "mod author friendly site" claims, are all false. Nexus will become a mod author hostile site, but, folks will still upload here, simply because Nexus is the dominate mod site. Unless/until another site can provide some meaningful competition, that is going to remain the case.

You mean like we had input on this part of the system? So we get voice our genuine concerns and then get completely ignored on them or dismissed. We are being asked to trust them, after they shattered our trust. No, I mean mod authors who stay and participate. It's patently obvious that mod authors don't get a say in how the system works. If you can't see that, maybe you should lay off the koolaid for a while. Yes, collections will be downloaded by folks that don't have a clue, and install something their machine simply can't handle. We will also have users that install a collection, then add 'a couple more' mods to it, and break it. If it's *just* the collection, the user isn't going to have the faintest idea which mods is killing his machine. Is he just going to pick a random mod out of his list, and go whine to the author? Or will he go to the lists page, and whine there? Likely both, but, more often than not, likely the latter. The users that add mods to a list, and break, are highly likely to blame the author of the last mod they installed. (yes, we have seen that before too.) None of this is new. There is a thread in GMAD about just such things. It ran to hundreds of pages......

A working collection vs a non-working collection is likely all about complexity. What mods it includes. If they are all pretty straightforward, then a collection that works on one machine, *should* work on all machines. As the installation process gets more complicated, the higher the likelihood that something is going to break. is this sarcastic or a joke ? you think a mod cooection works the same on a gaming desktop with win emulation on linux, a win 10 pc and an optimus laptop or a pc even without a seperated gpu ? and believe me, many users don't even know the differrence of these setups and the different porblems. and these are just a few examples. Perhaps I should have specified "Windows-based". As the folk with the esoteric operating systems, and emulators, are unlikely to be using collections. That is not the demographic collections are aimed at. Edit: And let me add: Capable hardware. Yeah, if some guy running the game on his laptop with integrated graphics, downloads a 4K texture collection, then no, that simply isn't going to work. Need to apply at least a little bit of logic here.

Thanks to your reply we got the motivation to approach the issue again and managed to get the account recovered. The way we did it was through getting Blizzard to look at the IP addresses used to access the account (which changed massively once it was hacked) to prove that the account was stolen. So if anyone experiences an issue like this and doesn't have ID/other proof of ownership, then I suggest writing to support and saying that. Should do the trick. Cheers pal. Interesting approach. Thank you for sharing. The IS useful info.

Nexus has no way of knowing if any particular downloader has a data cap or not. That is something the user needs to be aware of.
