50:50 You either survive leaving Vault 76, or you die rather quickly. Heck of a story, though it's a risk. 10 years of a 20 year old game that ends at the beginning inside a prequel? I'd guess there are 3 to 4 decent stories inside Seventy Six then a standard gamer story which would have all the stuff we normally find perhaps. I don't have a word for it. IT'S RANDO! Random Luck. :geek: I don't have the ability to link this from the official forums (which are horrible to use with Firefox right now oh gawd so bad) I thought for one thing it would blow up a deflating community, and reward all with a public release of a "Insane" text document we found inside bottom of XML coding archives for the 1.0 launch Fallout 3. I still look at that, and see little gliming lights of Fallout stuff that is either "Insane" and thereby totally wasteland or you know, Fallout related stuff I often wondered about. Yeah, you don't have to link me or this post to the official forums, you know, because "Ha Hah! This Hidden Text File Is Crazy" But it would be nice to have some cross chatter that wasn't based on the dribble drable vomit inducing cyclical facility plague we are kind of trapped inside. Like the game, maybe it won't kill you. Ha hah Ha Ha! Insanity, 0&1 P.S. Original TEXT Inside Spoiler Cut into 1080p image chunks. That's all that is left, the project to process it was abandoned.

Hidden Text File In XML menus FO3 .BSA #001 Above Converted To Image No Changes To Source Text A month after launch many got the feeling that the game was dying. DOA style! Dead On Arrival. I downloaded Seventy Six for 312 hours, and I played the game for 68 hours. That was many weeks ago when I confirmed to myself I should leave & uninstall the game for a 2nd time after the whole B.E.T.A. failure to install #FailFail Failure. Though, another big reason I left after 68 hours was that there was rampant cheating in the game, and 76 has massive security vulnerabilities. On top of this we see the main problem being centered around network disconnects which are pretty much a symptom of being on the net/web as new software. Games are treated as a virus if it's not being actively attacked/hijacked in route client to server. It's not encrypted data which is good, but it still disconnects which is bad. Why have that exist outside of the safety of encryption if it just drops con anyway? It's a messy game on a messy network apparently. No anti cheat. No anti virus. Further, gosh, do we need further? Physical ip address is hosted as public information as BethesdaNET collects vast amounts of data on it's users inside the game & outside the game while much of it doesn't even work all that well compared to how spoiled we are as computer users & customers of the net/web & it's products. An in house hosting which lacks all the benifits that come with a in house hosting? Hidden Text File In XML menus FO3 .BSA #002 Above Converted To Image No Changes To Source Text Which means, much like other dangerous/risky applications which require a commercial proxy mask on a existential level for the application, this is a significant added cost to a "Fallout" game. Then the other side of the issue, that there are websites & games that are better which provide these services to the end user as part of the application & webpage. Now sure, BethesdaNET insists that this data is kept privately, but are you really going to even consider that after the last 4-5 years on the net/web with what has been brewing for the last decade of increased needs for privacy & security. Now sure, it only took me a mild consideration based with the facts as they presented each one, but yeah. HeeBee JeeBees! All over the place. HeeBee JeeBees all over my face. LOL, All of which existing while there are endless titles that are better experienced than Seventy Six & on top of the fact that the process for playing these new Bethesda Studios publishing offers are horrible to experience while new & being patched. A dreadful sales report result. Review bombed into a new meme for everyone. Still alive for some reason. It's a real toss up /shrug. Why Why Why... Hidden Text File In XML menus FO3 .BSA #003 Above Converted To Image No Changes To Source Text I feel good about it. I bailed ASAP. I was trolled & insulted for having played Seventy Six. Trolled & insulted for defending it. Now I bailed, and I'm still... /LookAround ... /WaitForIt "Trolled & Insulted!" LOL, I feel good about it. I smile now. But I've bailed on this studio completely. I still need security & privacy solutions. Maybe the money saved on not participating any further in Seventy Six can pay for that? /shrug As we enjoy much more well designed/developed video games which are not made by Zenimax/BS/BGS, even the offline ones. Now for some reason, the glaring issues with Seventy Six just serve to remind that all this has been happening for years & years in these "Rancid" console ports of Zenimax/BS/BGS. Seventy Six looked dead to some people 45 days ago. Take a look around right now. Ask or talk to someone about Seventy Six. I have found that it does't not go well to even talk about 76. Then it seems glaring just how dead it's becoming. Don't get me wrong. I hate that "Fallout" became so popular in the last 3 years. This is a 20 year old game. Now it's plagued by popularity & doomed by it's overwhelmingly negative community. Yesterday, What Culture publicly described the 76 experience as a player throwing money up into the air in waste. The frightening part is that it feels that way, often much worse. Hidden Text File In XML menus FO3 .BSA #004 Above Converted To Image No Changes To Source Text Now, you can shed that negative feeling associated with a game. Remove it. Take a vacation. Play something else. Maybe come back later in a potential recovery. Seems bleak though. Potential players down the road a year or more. A remaining group of die hard fans & haters in a unrelenting stark contrast of polarization. Rampant cheating. Rampant modding. A DOA (Dead On Arrival) launch. Bitter Resentment looming during the creation of the largest Raider faction we have ever seen. How far down this black rat f*** hole does one go in a potential future activity that was strongly recommended to avoid? Even though I want to play Seventy Six right now. I shouldn't. I know I won't. This can only lead to bad things. It's just so obvious isn't it. Yet still we experience those whom cling desperately to this idea that all will be well shortly. How many of you returned to titles that launched DOA like this after No Man's Sky? How many people actually buy into these morally bankrupt and rationally questionable games after it's reality is a known quantity? Hidden Text File In XML menus FO3 .BSA #005 Above Converted To Image No Changes To Source Text I find myself avoiding these DOA games in a way that presents the idea to my mind as something that doesn't exist ever, and even in cases when the product is now totally changed into a newfound brilliant success where I specifically didn't want to be like that. I can't change it because I am like that. It's not that any of it is unforgivable, just that these DOA games are not applicable. Once it's dies publicly it's dead, no idea why it's a customer issue over the potental investment in time spent. I just don't, can't, bother with it. My initial instinct told me that we as gamers/authors should avoid the new games by playing old games instead. I denied that instinct, and as it turns out I was right to feel that way. The price for ignoring it was that I lost a 19Gb build of FO3 after playing Seventy Six because it was offensive now. Then before that I lost a 112Gb build of FO4 without the HD DLC installed, it's like 70Gb of mods, and I lost for the very same reason even though I have not progressed in that game past the first quests. Nearly everything present inside Seventy Six which presents the result in a negative feeling is also found inside titles with association with Zenimax/BethesdaStudios/BethesdaGameStudios. DLC I never want to experience, main game that I've never even seen that I don't want to see. It's all trash. Poor Me. I ruined it. Game Over Man, Game Over. Then the bright shining light after a 20 year avoidance of EA games for the same reason I'm now avoiding Zenimax because that means there are new game publishers to move to. New games to play, and all of them in a better design/development quality in any period or form/function/availablity which is a shame really. We used to love these Zenimax games.

I would look it up in FO4 with the material editor & nifscope. But I mean, you shouldn't be modding this game. It's totally illegal. You just broke EULA. Then anything you do is just going to get broken by patches if it doesn't break the game, and when your savegame is on the line as being a non-recoverable forced autosave for a highly corruptible video game. I'm just saying, it's fairly risky even ignoring that you'll probably end up getting banned. The game will be F2P & it won't matter, but still, you'll regret it. I think that's why we avoid doing that. Just because we shouldn't be playing this game right now technically until after the first year. Fair warning I guess. Good luck.

Got to find the texture application on another outfit that you want to replace the mesh/texture for. This is controlled with MGDS files or something I forget, but we call it materials now, such as we find it in FO4. The .nif changed, only some of them will accept a texture path that is inside the .nif most of them exist as separate files that deal with setting the materials of a mesh with the texture path included, instead of the old way of using materials that were inside the .nif if it was me I just wouldn't do it, because it's illegal, and doesn't work all that well anyway. You know, you risk being banned, and nobody else will see it. Patches will come out for the game that just break it, and on top of all that you don't actually have tools or access to be able to do this properly, it will be a hack job no matter what you decide to mod until it's been opened for modding. Sure you can mess with it, play with it, have fun with it, learn about it. But the process will be a nightmare for a few years still until it's fully developed. If you are cool with that, then hack away, we spent years working on hack job mods just to get it into the game, there's no shame in it. Look in the materials.BA2 or data/materials or misc.BA2 & go get the materials editor?

It's a forced autosave by .ini config timer. Though somehow that is shared with the server. Then while a BACKUP copy of these things should often be used, for some reason in 2018 this was left out of the support for the game while also being a title that has a history with problems of corruption associated with it which often gets locked into savegames. Don't forget though man, everything is golden in the end of life. Stay on that golden side if you can muster it. † I opted into a B.E.T.A. that took 168 hours to download Seventy Six. Which as you know at the end of install it decided that it wanted to download the entire 50 Gb again. 30 days later, I began downloading the game again which took 144 hours & the Beth launcher also allowed Pause/Resume. At this point I got to play the Seventy Six B.E.T.A. pre-order which was $50 & $10 shipping as a retail version which include zero data, a retail version of a digital download. 50 hours later I had gotten my moneys worth thanks to the hundreds of YouTube videos I saw which mostly served to either interest me or confirm my initial thoughts/feelings. So $1 per hour which is very expensive for a video game. I then spent another 18 hours for a 68 hour total even though I didn't want to be there playing Seventy Six anymore, but I needed to confirm my feelings. After that point I spent the rest of my Christmas time alone & broke watching YouTube. 312 hours downloading Seventy Six. 68 hours playing Seventy Six. Now, we are 3 weeks into 2019. I started playing Steam sale games I had got for pennies on the dollar years ago to catch up, and to potentially replace this dreadfully awful feeling inside with any Bethesda Studios publishings. That began with Metro Last Light Redux which featured a host of added game modes on top of it's existing base game. Pretty much small doses of this game worked wonders on restoring my ability to play games as the resulting effect of playing Seventy Six was horrible. This is nothing new. In fact I'm mentally disabled. I'm lucky that I have only been chucked inside a hospital 4 times. At the end of the day I need to remember any day I can exist at home partially functional is a good day. Seventy Six on the other hand is similar to FO4, becoming adjusted to the game is difficult & requires a vacation from the title completely. I still hear the call of Bethesda Studios publishings for games to play, but I've not yet returned to any of them. Seek remediation over 76? Best wishes & good luck, 0&1

Yes, but bring up anything like this on the Official Forums and it will get trolled no matter how new or good the video was. What's up with that? If the game is a known bad quanity, mentioning that only starts a griefing trollfest about it. It doesn't even matter if the video has good things in it. If you watched the Camelworks it was mixed half good & half bad. This video or any video posted at the official forums are described by other users to be "Clickbait". Do you think they believe that this isn't known quanity at this point? Maybe they don't want to hear it? Is it just a trolly young 10 year old with a keyboard or phone thing? Try your luck. Go visit and see if it even works on Firefox/Mozilla. Experience how official forums is? *Edit* What if it was me. I watched YouTube videos, and all those videos are just trying to grab views/likes/bells on family friendly content that will get them paid as it relates to the gain in populairty of news bias toward negative/bad that relates to more people consuming it.

It's in my documents. Grab those, open them with Paint.net, and then Ctrl Shift S to save as, switch to JPG, set quality level 100 && you got a nice tiny HQ jpg but the game natively saves photomode in a ridiculous 4k mode PNG format I think, which is fairly heavy on storage space considering how much of the game centers around taking pictures. Though this isn't all that different from establishing a level of quality in a screenshot by the other means for uses such as ENB & high renders. So what I would do is just convert them over when it was eating up too much storage space, dump the jpg in a file to save, and then delete the PNG or whatever it is eating up the storage space. Savegames had the same problem in FO4, it would eat up Gb worth of storage. A few years of jpg is like 500Mb or like a library of concept drawings, yeah, high detail because it's a 100% quality compression which is like no compression as far as the looks. But for whatever reason, Zenimax/BS/BGS doesn't care all that much about that even though the primary design centering on XBO/PS4 which have rather limited storage space. :( What you are actually looking for here is XML coding which plugs into the application runtime "The .exe" I seriously doubt a config exists to set different types of image capture. Although, you can do fairly awesome things with Steam & steam cloud, and also Bandicam or other Nvidia softwares. However I encourage you to bring this up on the official site @ BethesdaNET Community Forums because they have the programmers whom are qualified to enable this quite possibly obvious choice given that it's now 2019 and jpg is older than dirt. Although most people don't understand they can capture a 100% quality jpg, to them it's all compression like DXT compression that was designed/developed for video cards to be able to run properly.

Well look no further than the progression player. Progression will burn up the players in less than a year. So what then? The studio has no other choice than to provide content for the progression players. Meanwhile, the players that don't fit into the more popular play styles are all going to wash out. Will they come back? Will others come to try 76? I went back to FO3. I ran around in Vault 101 role-playing a young child/kid/teen. I went to megaton to test the game. Started some killing sprees with a few mods that add in wastelanders everywhere. I played with Arwen Realism Tweeks. I compared the rigid controls in Seventy Six to FO3. Then Dumped mods on it until it was nearing 20Gb. Before that I was playing Seventy Six. I quit that game twice. The first time was when I felt like I had got my moneys worth. Though this was only about 60 to 70 hours. At that time 76 ruined all games for me pretty much. I went back to playing 76 a few weeks later. Then there was a month were it was just nothing but bad news with 76. I thought I could roll with it. Even with creating mods for FO4 near the launch there was a month when I just had to take a vacation from the game. I didn't play it all that much, but things were just so negative. Sometimes I get that feeling, and I just bail. People get a bad feeling from 76. That is a failed game right there, feels bad. Instead of being able to roll with it, I jumped ship. Maybe it's just a damn jinxed game. There's some kind of gypsy curse, VooDoo, Black Magic, Something about a Fallout game has continued to murder it's players. We're sorting it out. Finishing what we want to finish before leaving Fallout, never to return. Gone to play other games. It certainly does introduce some unique play styles though. Seventy Six being what it is. In the old days when something like this happened we just kept playing, and made it fun for one another. There are wars though. When I quit 76 the last time, it was trolls. Level 50's running around Vault 76 hitting players that were just trying to play the game. Then there was rampant cheating. I found a paper bag that had 60,000 aluminum, and two other crafting materials in a huge amount. Right in the middle of that last permadeath run, a player gave me 1000 ammo for 10mm & a pistol that was higher than my level. I was only playing permadeath because it was what I found that made 76 fun at the lower levels. It's been a struggle man. There's this just awful feeling inside. You know, like the thinly draped veil that was covering up all the smoke BGS/BS/Zenimax has been blowing up my arse, and all the mirrors, magic, and greedy little fat men licking their fingers. What's left? Nothing but salvage. In fact I believe it feels precisely what it would feel like to be inside the wasteland. Oh, yeah, I'll play Seventy Six again. Though I won't let the game tug at me to push me into new areas that I didn't want to travel towards! Naw, Naw Man. It will be a slow play just to enjoy whatever there is that is there in my favorite place in the game which is hidden. You know. Hiding out in Seventy Six. But really slow played, and steady. :teehee: Try Harder, 0&1

That's all listed on the Map. Go look. It's in there.

Play the game that is there. I myself took a vacation after the first 60ish hours playing Seventy Six. So like we had discussed before between some of the older mod authors, it's a good time to go back to play the older games. In the case of Seventy Six, I would say play it until you couldn't play it anymore. Un-install the game. Install one of many other games. Play that game until you feel like installing Seventy Six again. I finally got to talk to a BGS dev, and you know what they were talking about? "YOU ARE BANNED!" That's what. I felt like it was a great big rip off. There were like 6 different warnings about modding 76, and the current environment is "Rampant Cheating" Why would you ever try to work on something like that? Maybe you can see the benefits of playing a game for 1 year or however long it takes to learn which way is the most fun way to play that game, and hence the path that leads to the fun content to be made for that game. There Is No Shortcut, \o/

Dude, man. Yeah, sure. You're right. But you're missing out on the reality. Seventy Six is a game that was made with a particular idea in mind. Seventy Six exists as it is now because it is brand spankin new. It might have taken them 3 years to make F76, but we are 4 years behind. We're still 1 year behind on FO4. In fact, this is the best year for FO4. That's just how it is. Video games come & go. The gamer decides what to play based on having options. If Seventy Six was offered as a add on DLC to FO4 for $60, you better believe we would have bought it. We did! We did buy 76. There's a reason why. We bought 76 so that we could play it. Have you not met any of the veteran players or modders whom refuse to buy the new game until 1 year after launch? People that bought 76 were opted into that pain & suffering. Take it with a grain of salt. It's a year long BETA basically. The game can so drastically change in the first few years that everyone that used to play it vanishes. The reason why is because you are all mostly wasteland tourists. Fallout is a 20 year hobby. I'm not sure you can say anything that is going to stop that hobby from being enjoyed. So I mean, yeah. Psychology, it's a thing. You do like Fallout, right? If you want to be a wasteland tourist, fine. Speak your peace, and quietly leave. Let It All Out, \o/

I spent over 2,800 hours in Blender making clothing for FO3/FNV in the first year of learning Blender 2.49b. It was nothing to spend that much time in one year. I stopped counting. FO4 has been out for 3 years. What have you been doing with your time? You should have over 6,000. Then you know, stop counting it, stop bragging about it. Stop being a wasteland tourist. FO1/FO2/FOT/FO3/FNV/SKY/FO4/F76 What's to complain about? 76 is the Fallout which has the groups of wastelanders get together for group activities. Yeah there will be all kinds of good stuff in 76. And we haven't even gotten to the private servers part. Because once we mod this game it will be people like me working on it. So cheer up, it's not like you had to work on it. Shake it off champ. Play another game for a bit. Go back to enjoy 76 when you feel like it. \o/ Take your shirt off, you are losing friends! LOL, It's not that hard to enjoy it. I bailed from 76 after I had got my moneys worth (around 50 hours). Heck I even played 76 for 15 to 25 hours after that. All the characters got killed, so I deleted them. Play 76 Ironman Permadeath! Stop this madness? LOL Cheer Up it's 2019 :woot:

That's part of the UI. Though, you might could find a texture for it, and then make that invisable. You know like, textures/interface <----anything in there.
