Interestingly, the US system was set up originally to a cry of "no taxation without representation", yet if I work in the US, I have to pay US taxes and get no representation at all in return for those taxes. I don't expect any polititian to do anything about that, not that I'd be allowed to vote for them, even if they said they would. Just saying. :devil:

I think the practice of popping off people in power when they become unpopular in certain circles is not unprecedented in our modern age *wink wink* This wasn't any indication that their people were upset with their kings, they loved them. If you're not prepared to die for your people, you shouldn't be ruling them.

I think the world would be a better place if we reinstated the practice of killing our leaders after their terms in office are over: Sacrificed Celtic Kings. Aah, the good old days. :smile:

Early in the quest, the player gets a vocal chord injury. The player temporarily (or permanently) gets a vocal chord transplant from a protectron or something. From then on - player robot voice. Simple, effective, toungue in cheek and lore friendly. At the end of the quest, the player can potentially have their voice fixed. This can become a bit of a running joke if every quest mod shoots the player in the throat during the intro scene, but it would allow detailed dialogue and Stephen Hawking to do the voice acting. :wink:

Fool me once - shame on you. Fool me twice - shame on me. Fool me again and again and again - it must be politics. :sad:

When faced with such uncertain times, sometimes it's safer to just vote for the Devil you know:

The very idea of segregated toilets is nuts: Children often need assistance and often are accompanied by an adult of a different gender. This creates a problem - which toilet do such a pair use? Segregated changing rooms are just as nuts - Does the man take the little girl into a changing room full of naked men, or does he go with her into the changing room full of naked women? Prudes offend me. I want to silence them but instead I tolerate their presence in my vicinity and their influence on the society that surrounds me. I suppress my intolerant urges because, although such people offend me, I don't want the illusion of civilisation under which we live to break down because of me. If it were to break down sufficiently due to other causes, however, I would no longer feel the need to curb my anger in public and such people who annoy me would get more than a dark stare. Now, replace the anti-prude sentiment in the previous paragraph with ANY other Intolerance and you'll find some people somewhere who feel that way. The Paradox of Tolerance is that human beings are Intolerant creatures that practice Tolerance so that we can live in close proximity to each other without killing each other for increasingly trivial reasons. We have to be as tolerant as we can because the consequence of not doing so is unpalatable to the majority of us. Even a giant killing machine who lives in an unassailable fortress full of weapons has other people that he cares about, who would be unhappy in a world of no Tolerance, because such a world has no supermarkets, no television, no computer games. All the best things in life come from having a civilised society and civilisation is an illusion that can only exist in an atmosphere of tolerance. Without it, civilisation withers and dies - that's why we all put on our best fake smile and suppress our inner Hulk, no matter how much we want to Smash! As for the PC-Brigade, Twitter-Nazis and other modern lynch mobs, they're a temporary phenomenon and will wither and die once they bite off more than they can chew - it's inevitable, like an anaconda choking on a cow.

You have my sympathy mate. :sad: My sister has had BT troubles ever since she got her broadband from them. 1 year later & she's finally going to take my advice & go with Sky. I hope they can fix it for you.

I was asking about a second lan on your PC as some mobos ship with 2 potential connections & the other one might work better. I can't be certain, as I don't use BT, but from what I know the Lan2 port on a BT Openreach box is either disabled or only for accessing the modem itself, depending on your package. Either way I wouldn't mess with the BT box, as they can be complete iceholes about their equipment. You could try TCP Optimiser. It's free & can fix issues if they're caused by your PCs settings.

You don't happen to have Killer Network Manager by any chance? It has history of doing stuff like that. Do you have a second Lan Connection on your mobo you can use?

I've had nothing but trouble with wireless for desktops, I don't know why. I tried a wireless dongle & needed to restart several times each day till I replaced it with a cable. That's why I recommend using a wired connection for your desktop if at all possible. BTW: the wire.jpg link's expired.

Thanks very much for posting this - Very interesting. :thumbsup:

I don't think ASLAL is your problem. I've recently been using it for testing IA compatibility and so I've run multiple starts with it switched on and off without any of the issues you describe. Also, it comes with it's files packed into a BSA so no loose files at all. I reckon your problems are either down to something that edits Helgen itself or the 'Skyrim doesn't like monitors running at anything other than 60 Hz' issue. Assuming, of course, that you didn't unpack the BSA yourself. Regarding the CTD outside the cave: That's an area that's very graphics heavy, so your problem might be graphics overload. Check out Skyrim Project Stability. Good Luck.

Each page of the NMM installer is a separate installStep within the ModuleConfig.xml file. Like this: <installSteps order="Explicit"> <installStep name="Whatever01"> Stuff to do for Page 01 </installStep> <installStep name="Whatever02"> Stuff to do for Page 02 </installStep> </installSteps> Say you want to have a page of the installer deal with choosing a mesh for the Daedric Torso, with separate options for Male & Female, you set that page up like this: <installStep name="Daedric Torso"> <optionalFileGroups> <group name="Male Torso" type="SelectAtMostOne"> <plugins> <plugin name="Orange Glow"> <description> This is the normal Orange Glow. </description> <image path="Images/Male_Torso_Orange.jpg"/> <files> <folder source="Male_Torso_Orange\meshes" destination="meshes"/> </files> <typeDescriptor> <type name="Optional"/> </typeDescriptor> </plugin> <plugin name="Purple Glow"> <description> This is the normal Purple Glow. </description> <image path="Images/Male_Torso_Purple.jpg"/> <files> <folder source="Male_Torso_Purple\meshes" destination="meshes"/> </files> <typeDescriptor> <type name="Optional"/> </typeDescriptor> </plugin> </plugins> </group> <group name="Female Torso" type="SelectAtMostOne"> <plugins> <plugin name="Orange Glow"> <description> This is the normal Orange Glow. </description> <image path="Images/Female_Torso_Orange.jpg"/> <files> <folder source="Female_Torso_Orange\meshes" destination="meshes"/> </files> <typeDescriptor> <type name="Optional"/> </typeDescriptor> </plugin> <plugin name="Purple Glow"> <description> This is the normal Purple Glow. </description> <image path="Images/Female_Torso_Purple.jpg"/> <files> <folder source="Female_Torso_Purple\meshes" destination="meshes"/> </files> <typeDescriptor> <type name="Optional"/> </typeDescriptor> </plugin> </plugins> </group> </optionalFileGroups> </installStep> This will set up a page that gives 2 options (Orange or Purple) for the Daedric Torso for both Male and Female in the NMM Mod Installer.You will also need to set up the files that this xml code snippet is going to look for: A Folder named Images that contains the screenshots that will show up when the User highlights each option: Male_Torso_Orange.jpg, Male_Torso_Purple.jpg, Female_Torso_Orange.jpg, and Female_Torso_Purple.jpg. A Folder named Male_Torso_Orange containing a folder called meshes that has the correct Male Daedric Torso meshes for the Orange Glow in it - in the correct folder structure for them to be used in the game as these will be installed into the User's Data/meshes folder if the User chooses the Orange option. The same applies to the Male_Torso_Purple, Female_Torso_Orange, and Female_Torso_Purple Folders These folders will be in the final 7-Zip Mod download that you Upload to the Nexus at the same level as the FoMOD folder that contains the ModuleConfig.xml file. I hope that makes things clear.

Check this out. The one I used is the one that LivingDragon linked to for FONV An installer for NMM is exactly the same as an installer for FOMM (Fallout Mod Manager) - it's basically an XML document that tells NMM what to do. Within your Mod download, at the top level, you need to put a folder called FOMod. In that folder, you need to put your XML instructions file which is called ModuleConfig.xml. The easiest way to see how this works is to look at a Mod that does something similar to what you want to do, & check out it's .xml file - for your requirements, I recommend you look at SMIM, it's got a well written installer that allows the user to choose from multiple options just the way you seem to want.
