ZippyDSMlee

I return from the darkness.(tries to resit the urge to play star craft) I been thinking of getting back into modding, skyrim or mass effect 2, I can not script to save my life tho, I can make some headway and gets things to work half the time LOL. But anyway, archive formats zip,rar,ect are not that hard to wrap your head around, its where to put the darn things that can be annoying. I like winrar but 7zip works as well, you need 7zip or winrar to unpack from the zip file. I'm not up to date on mod mangers tho, I like the old nexus mod manager, vortex always seemed odd, I got to fustrated with it, but its been years so maybe its more user freindly. How much help, or what starting point do you need for skyrim? Are you an absolute noob or just very lost....and yes I get very lost alot LOL I am willing to help some, I need to get back into i myself LOL

When it comes to souls games there are 2 things I hate the most item limits and vendors that have limited stock on common and slightly uncommon items... Infinite items is a bit cheesy IMO, tho infinite ash and ceramic bits would be nice, seems silly they do not let you have that but have refiling gourds for every other thing...

If I recall right the other issue was the AI did not attach the damage to you IE it was damage not coming from the player. Tho that may have been Fallout or OB LOL Enchanted bolts and arrows was one of them, I've not looked in a few years but I was working on and off on 3 tiers of arrows/bolts damage/radius and 2-3 tiers of arrow/bolt speed, plus anti undead silver arrows and bolts, stuff liek dragon bone and dwarfen being heavy and not able to go far. I wish the aiming system did not suck the faster you make an arrow the harder it is to aim and forget the NPCs using it.... really wish NPCs could use preks becuase I half finished an undead mod that made fighting unddead insanely hard without fire or silver and somewhat hard with just magic, was using a reverse cloak thing from the player so any undead in range got super damage resistance. Tried to make a zombie virus with the clock spells and a randomized raise dead spell but the hard codded resurrect script did not play nicely with randomization (I LAOTH it begin locked to levels, should be random based on level). Wonder if anyone ever made a silver weapons/armor set for it.

If I recall right the other issue was the AI did not attach the damage to you IE it was damage not coming from the player. Tho that may have been Fallout or OB LOL

Anyone ever figure out how to make explosive arrows that can give status effects that are attached the player? Last time I tried I ran into issues of the damage not linking to the player thus no EXP gained.

Well the armies of light and dark are at the top end of war/conflict of everything in my "multiverses", its not equatable to normal life systems of conflict and more understandable time frames, the army of light seeks to spread life and destroy darkness at any cost, they cut huge swaffs of universes, galaxies, multiverses,ect off so that most life in them will end reducing what darkness can take from them, but doing so expands the void, giving more space/area to the forces of dark to live in and make stuff from(mostly basic matter types). Lightness, the God of creation came from Darkness's most fevered nightmares, light was born from dark and once the old God Darkness figured it out (his a heavy sleeper) s*** hit the fan, Darkness tried to destroy the God of Light but they are equal all that happens when they fight is everything is reset(big bang was the alst time they fought), thus they use armies to fight with so that one can take everything in the end. Darkness can not slumber in peace with all the noise going on,ect. LOL I got most of the logic dealt with just sometimes it seems more silly than it needs to be..but really... I need to leave the overthinking to creating new stuff not worrying about stuff random LOL. And all this is just world building my main character ran from the army of light because they are annoying his OCD dose not work with their perfectionism,ect. So most of the story revolves around random adventures of my MC.

The trick to being confused is never not being confused, thats why no one can understand my word soup but the very confused. I suppose if you boil it down neither side likes brain washing and has different ways to train their soldiers/fighters, one takes time to train them and slowly moves them to more and more clinical and cold logic based surroundings lacking in the warmth of humanity. The thing that annoys me is dose it make much sense to waste all that time training them , I mean if they are masters of the mind/soul,ect they could simply upload all needed data. The only thing I can think of its creates a more stable soldier. It's like plot armor or a jump in logic to make things interesting withhold throwing the baby out with the bath water. I mean they also try and emulate "life" to try and not forget they are the army of light and thus the army of life. Army of light=cold logical=takes time to train soldiers in worlds that mirror normal worlds slowly turning them cold and logical this process allows them remain sane across the enos of war. The dark side just gathers up what they can, they all go crazy from the madness that infects them the more intelligent ones operate more based off personal desires or a kind of benevolence that shuns cruelty that seeks to end all suffering. Due to the madness they all share the forces of darkness are far more diverse but are also in more conflict with themselves, in theory this allows them to strengthen each other through glorious combat. So when their training cycle is done you wind up with as much fodder as as sane but more powerful soldiers. Another big thing kinda annoys me is they are suppose to hate chaos but some do not, chaos to them is a thing that is unending and always changing, they are created and refined to end everything and return to darkness, so things without end are bad. Army of darkness= chaos like but hate chaos really this is warhammer grade BS why am I overthinking it LOL eh I sit down and do these random writing exercises just to write and they are as confusing as anything else I do LOL Do drugs kids not dyslexia and OCD. LOL

COTLOP contractions forces of light and dark I've not wrote on my COTLOP book project in 2 years...till now, its not much just some thoughts that have been annoying me. forgive the dyslexic word block. So in my writings on one of my book projects, I have some odd contradictions, the army of light and dark mainly take/recruit/corrupt and change/warp souls/minds of life in existence to fill the ranks of their forces. But it’s less full on mind control and more simple knowledge and experience. The light goes through the most effort to ease souls into an eternity of working in the army of light, which works like a mix of conventional armies with some data/archiving/office themes mixed in ,if they make it through battles we are talking being around for countless eons and millions of years, but the training process for recruits plays out like this the core worlds basically emulate mostly normal/clean city life across existence and they live in the city or barrcks train and have time off to live a bit normally. As they train for hundreds of years or acouple thousand years the knowledge and experience seeps into their being and they become more cold and logical beings that can handle the burden of duty of fighting in endless time and space, but the system and powers that be never really force absolute conformity, as long as you can do your duty you are allowed to be an individual as many of the more powerful and high ranking members are very. However the rank and file almost loath individuality amongst their ranks as much of it results in the being/person/soul sent back to creation to be reborn as they cannot complete their training. The more you get away from the core training worlds the more bland and clinical everything gets,cept for a few people who can keep their own personalities. On the flip side the army of darkness simply corrupts beings with the touch of the void hive mind which is connected to Darkness himself it basically overloads them with rage and sorrow directed at the “living” and the light. Most turn into simple animalistic creatures who are low grade fodder or plague carriers to spread darkness, up to higher grade fodder and war beast vehicle’s. Those who can retain intelligence are picked up by the roaming tribes if they are not dumb enough to fight them, the dark uses conflict to refine and strengthen its forces so the tribes and greater armies are always in random conflict with each other, the great generals control these factions and debate things in their grand confederacy meetings. But while many of the tribes and armies have intelligence they tend to be lost in the hive mind they share, those with higher intelligence break down mainly to 2 archetypes those who sorrow for the living and thus wish limit all sorrows by will of the darkness and those who wish to indulge in debauchery, thrills and fighting. The priestess that convey the will of darkness try and keep the dark army focused on strengthening itself as a whole and warning fools to not indulge in chaos as Darkness only hates 2 things the light and tis creations and uncontrolled chaos as Darkness wishes for rest and end to all things, chaos creates and destroys in endless cycles thus the concern. Despite Darkness and its hive mind does not forcibly control anyone, much like the light it gives experience and information and the being that has it will do whatever they can to fulfill their drives and needs which serving darkness is a primary or secondary motive. Basically the contradiction of forced control but no real direct forced control is a bit annoying, then the old stories of again gods and destiny tend to be as convoluted, where the gods are hands off until they are not.. LOL

If this would happen a lot of people would quit modding. I don't think that modders would be thrilled about that either. Free mods on a not so free site. Alot of people say that but no they would not, if I have learned anything people go with the flow more than fight it, I mean look at how bad the tipple AAA industry is. Plus people don't give up hobbies easily so they would go else where but where would they go? Creating, refining, expanding and offering a secure service is not easy nor is it cheap, a couple more clicks per download is not going to matter, if it did they would have changed it already.

I admire your patience. Too bad we are forced to get used to an ill-intentioned annoyance, right now I don't feel up to it. It's NOT ill intentioned, there are people here who have been using the Nexus for FREE for 10 - 12 years, and never have and never will pay, it costs money to keep the nexus online, unfortunately out of 18 million members, around only 186,000 actually pay for premium, while some people pay nothing at all. So, now, to keep using Nexus for free, you have to be slightly inconvenienced, and that's a lot less than the Nexus is inconvenienced because of people not paying. It's a fair trade. It is ill-intentioned obviously. The message is clear, and you see it yourself from your comment: "If you don't pay, FU, here is slow download speed, and annoying popups until you do." Slow speed I could understand, but timed popups for each file are inexcusable. @1ae0bfb8 Its not that, it get very tiresome and annoying after a while to see after each file "slow download, fast download" "slow download, fast download" "slow download, fast download" "slow download, fast download". Its not about a protest, its about getting sick of always seeing it and clicking on it, for no reason, just because they wanted to punish us non paying sinners. Its like, I get it, its slow, no need to tell me a million times and make me click on slow each and every time. Its ridiculous. It could easily be much worse, like daily download quotas like some file sharing sites have. If you are min maxing cost and ease of use what they are doing is balanced. Its basically 68-70$ for lifetime premium, if ads bother you that much it may be time to buy in. I may do that in a few months as I worm my way back to modding and fixing my budget and I am a limited income of 700ish a month, all in all at least they have a reasonable lifetime plan.

Actually, according to Dark0ne, it's done exactly the opposite. Premium sign-ups have apparently skyrocketed. If anything its a reminder you have the choice of faster DL speed, I think its more a null point since everyone kinda dose ads like that so people either sign up or ignore it, the site has expanded its game support greatly so its no wonder alot more people have signed up. Nice to see unreal games get some love here too.

Anyone managed to raise the volume of just the voices?

i Its either lurking or putting my foot and leg in my mouth :P

I lurk there for I am, good to see more stories from you. I kinda had to stop being creative, my OCD nit picking just made things worse, need to get life crap sorted out and handle on stress levels before I can try again.... all because they changed my meds, fun times... hope everyone is well or at least functional.

Yeah, IE is stil more or less updated, once a month or so, at least on my old Win 7 rig - but only to make it more useless... The only reason I still use it is my hundreds of old Nexus and CK bookmarks are on IE. Can't stand Edge and I've grown allergic to Chrome, I hate being force-fed predigested content... I'm still keeping a 2 or 3 year old version of Firefox though, which I've been very careful not to update and still works flawlessly (so far). So yeah, no surprise the issue is very likely on my end. Can't have it all I guess, trying to prevent Google or MS to take control of my rigs and still benefit from the web's latest functionalities... :wink: Firefox add ons are starting to catch up but the morons at Mozilla are limiting uI changes like chrome dose but I guess tis best to just have bookmarks like IE dose, as files in their own folder sorted correctly rather than a drop down toolbar. I just hate there was no middle ground for addons, they could have offered a less secure web exstention version of FF while rolling out the new FF while new add ons replaced the old... Chrome is not bad if you use protection block some google addresses in your hosts file, then double up with cookie/tracking destroyers or use a couple of them in incognito mode, its not perfect but you can tame the beast, much like a lot of MS issues but gaa the updates drive me batty for win 10. Also given how MS has reduced the number of games they make for the xbox brand and how they are switching to a chrome based browser I don;t think they have much money to throw around anymore....they can;t even do decent bug testing anymore... MS is valued at 750 billion dollars they are doing fine. They also don't own Chrome as Chrome is a Google browser. MS owns IE. Well that's because they are doing less and making more money via mafia tactics of a monopolized market, my point was more they stopped spending money on making their products half decent even stopped making some products because they no longer need to so they can gain even greater profits for investors/executives from de investing in consumers, workers and product quality, because exclusive distribution rights gives them ability to exist and be anti consumer/end user but still be ran based on consumption of products....but existential ranting will bring the wrath of the old ones so I will stop..tho I think Cthulhu is not the dark lord we want but the one we need...LOL
