Yes.

Because Bethesda explicitly forbids mod authors from making money for developing a mod or selling mods when they license us the Creation Kit, that's why. Yes, something along those lines would, hypothetically, provide the needed plausible deniability, though it would be a rather thin smokescreen.

Paying mod authors to create a mod can easily get them into trouble with Bethesda, which is one reason why such things are banned here. So you are going to have to look elsewhere to find a mod author who might be willing to take that risk.

Paying a mod author to create a mod is against the Nexus Mods Terms of Service. I would suggest you contact a moderator or staff member for more information.

So you've been working on this project for 2 to 3 years and you suddenly decide to ask for permission from 100+ mod authors now?

Glad to hear you figured it out. :)

Here is a script that might help you. You will want to put this on a Quest, but you can easily modify the code to put it on a switch or button. Please note I haven't compiled this (don't feel like opening up the CK, though I really should get a compiler setup going on Notepad++) and there may be errors / bugs. If you have any questions about how or why it works, or if there is a bug, just let me know.

Since you follow my posts in the MA forum you know that I apologize for the mistakes I make when I make them. Have I accidentily misread people's content when replying to them? Yes. I'm human. Will I probably do it again at some point? Yeah, still human. But when I realize a mistake I have made, I apologize to the people I've wronged, I try to learn from my mistake, and I work towards being better in the future. So, in that vein, I'm sorry for wasting your time and making an honest mistake while simply trying to help you.

Yeah, except that wasn't what you opened this thread with. You didn't show any code I could look at, you just talked about an implementation, and without ever using the word AddTextReplacementData. So forgive me for not catching on that little non-existent detail. Anyway, I won't waste any more of your time. Good luck figuring it out.

In my experience you can use AddTextReplacementData to add token names directly to Objectreferences completely outside of the Quest system. It seems, in my testing, to directly attach the info to the Objectreference permanently, though I haven't had the chance to do extensive save testing yet. I've used the method to add random / 'encrypted' ASCII text to paper notes and the tokens on the Objectreference notes appear to stay filled just fine. I think if you try that idea with a Holotape before it is loaded into the Pipboy it might work. Just a guess though.

Oh, actually, upon further inspection on best practices we should be activating the door for the interior cell. I've updated the script above. You should change YourDoorRef to whatever the persistent reference of the exterior door that leads to your interior cell.

Have you tried AddTextReplacementData? It might work, in theory. Spawn your holotape and use AddTextReplacementData on it, looping where necessary, and that -might- work. Or not, I haven't had much time to play around in the CK lately. Anyway, good luck on your mod.

It's certainly possible. You would simply need to attach a script to the elevator button and use the following code. Please note my Oblivionscript is rusty as heck and there may be ways to improve on this. Importantly, I haven't tried to compile it since I don't have Oblivion installed anymore. I hope this is helpful.

Let me guess: A certain userscript that does away with the free / premium ad page entirely. And people wonder why Nexus Mods has to continually ask for money. Mark my words, if that userscript becomes more popular, Nexus Mods will likely be forced to take action that the free users will most certainly not like.

Scaling back would invariably make the user experience worse, not better. Sure, belt-tightening seems like a good idea on paper, but how exactly would that be accomplished? The biggest money sink for Nexus Mods, I would assume based on their Expenses Page, is the obscene cost of bandwidth chewed through by all the people who aren't financially supporting their own bandwidth usage. Scaling back on bandwidth would mean you get less of it for your mod downloads.

Thank you for this post, SKK50. I mean, I'm not going to be using RemoveAllItems on the player anytime soon, mind, but it's certainly great to see someone putting in the effort to create a great user experience. I'm certain I could learn a thing or two from you on that. :)

You will want to use RemoveAllItems. Edit: SKK50 pointed out some 'gotchas' with using this command in FO4. His post explains a lot.

So, because you refuse to support Nexus Mods by buying them a cup of coffee (£2.99 / $3.69) a month, you're giving up 995 video games. Sounds rather counterproductive to me, but hey, it's your decision.

Back on May 1st, 2012, Nexus Mods had only 3,764,120 members. Today, Nexus Mods has 21,801,730 members. That's roughly an increase of about 2.2 million users per year, every year, for 8 years. And all those users are downloading mods, which takes up bandwidth, and that bandwidth costs a huge amount of money, as outlined on the Expenses page. In other words: the website needs money to run. And if you don't like how it is being run, then offer some constructive criticism. How would you go about making money to run Nexus Mods? What would you, as a user, change to make the site better? How would you improve Premium service so that more people buy in and actually support the site?

LadyEdith, you don't need the script I wrote anymore, based on what SKK50 wrote. If you create a radio station with zero range you can have your radio play the looping song without the radio station showing up on the Pipboy.

Ah, hm. That would definitely be a better way of doing it. Honestly I didn't think about a zero-range radio station since I got caught up in avoiding radio stations altogether, but it makes perfect sense. A lot of the code I wrote isn't helpful anymore, but maybe it will be useful for someone in the future.

Hmm. That's unfortunate, but unless I'm missing something it doesn't sound insurmountable.

It's certainly possible. You will want to create a Sound Descriptor that points to your audio file and set it to loop. Then create your radio activator object and put this Papyrus script on it: Edit: 1.1.0 - Updated code to deal with a savegame issue (sound wouldn't play anymore) noticed by LadyEdith and also added some code to potentially deal with an issue brought up by SKK50 (sound would stop after the object unloads).

It might have errors or bugs, but it should be a decent starting point. If you have any questions feel free to reply and I'll do my best to help.

Depends on what you mean by "stream" but, overall, yes it is possible. Here is a YouTube tutorial on how to create a radio station. If you need more help, feel free to ask. I've got a bit of experience working with the radio system. Edit: Not sure where my brain was the other day for not mentioning this, but if you want a modder's resource that does basically what you're looking to do, check out my Morse Code Mod. Also, great avatar. :smile:

Hey now, could be both. :tongue: The forums here are one of the most transparent and open about bans and warnings I've ever seen. And practically every website in the history of ever censors people. Freedom of speech is not something that applies when you are on a private forum or website. Harassment, hate speech, trolling, doxxing - all those types of speech are banned on pretty much every forum and website out there. And with good reason. Companies and organizations don't need to tolerate that kind of speech like some governments do and so, rather then letting their services become a hub for harassment and trolling, those types of speech are banned because it is better for both the company and their customers to keep trolling, harassment, and other such things off their sites. And giving mod authors the ability to ban users from our mods is an extension of that. From my understanding of the situation, the moderation team here at Nexus Mods cannot keep up with the amount of harassment and stupidity that mod authors get thrown at them on a daily basis, so the most practical solution was to give mod authors the ability to police their own mod pages. Mod authors having the ability to ban people from their mods pages is simply a consequence of Nexus Mods not having the resources to fully support a moderation team to patrol a majority of the site every day to ferret out inappropriate comments.
