    I wonder, does this video use the Ring Of Wings mod for flying, or is it his own self-made flying mod?

     

     

    I don't need people to tell me about the wings/weapons/whatever, I know it's ancient_laws creations, and his creations are 95% 97% private and that. Just a note to those who doesn't know about it. I'm only interested in the flying mod used. If it is ROW, I might trouble myself to download OBSE just to use it.

     

    ancient_laws has some really cool stuff doesn't he.

    Modders and "it's for private use only"

    Hmm. I meant no insult or cheapening of a modder's talent. Modding does indeed take a bit of talent. But it also takes patience and practice.... the same as any other artistry media.

     

    And I also agree that a modder should not get upset if someone asks for the mod, but at the same token, the askee should not get upset if the modder says its private. I see no hostility in that answer. If it is taken that way, then the askee is simply ranting, like a toddler who isn't allowed to have the candy that was just asked for.

     

    And segragation of pictures is ridiculous and borders on the line with a violation of freedom of speech. My example stands.

    First, this thread is ridiculous and offending, and yet laughable at the same time. Just because someone else worked hard on a mod and decides not to share doesn't give you the rights to it. Where the heck does that come off of anyways? As someone similarily stated, do you ask the guy who just drove up in a shiny brand new corvette if you can have it?

     

    Second, also stated before, take up modding for yourself. Learn the tools and use them.

     

    Thirdly, to those who whine about how they can't do it, I say BS. If you can learn to type and reply in a forum, then you can just as easily learn the modding tools available. There are a plethora of tutorials with step by step instructions on how to mod available both with modelling programs and scripting. When someone states that they can't do it, I call laziness. If you genuinely tried and still are having difficulties, you can always ask for help from either here or the bethsoft forums.

     

    Your right, but from what I'm understanding from the op (unless Im somehow mistaken) is not that people necessarilly feel entitled to the works of other people, but that there must be some other way that people can show off their talent in a respectful way thats not doing the whole "ha ha I have it and you dont" aspect. Honestly I dont really care one way or another, but from a devils advocate's position I can see where people would see that kind of attitude.

     

    Perhaps TESNexus can have its own section in their mod databases for postings related to private mods that clearly indicates that "nothing in these screenshots will be, at anytime, available to the public". That way people know hands down whats available and whats off limits in a way that doesnt mix public and private mods together. I -think- thats all their really asking for.

     

    I do have to admit too that your comments insinuating that anyone can read a tutorial and learn to mod is kind of an unfair generalization. Just because someone can take a high-school art class does not mean they will (ever) be able to paint "Starry Night" (For those who dont know, its a Van Gogh).

     

    I still don't agree with this. Do you tell an artist who just painted something like Starry Night "No you can't put that private painting on public display because your talent is just too good?" Heck with that type of thinking, why'd never have public libraries, museums, art exhibits, etc, all of which have things that are privately owned.... more or less.

     

    And I still stand by my original statement. The modding tools out there are very powerful and very easy to use once learned. Still no excuse.

    Thanks for the bow links.

     

    However I probably should of specified before that these are for a "good" aligned character. The ones you've linked--whilst very cool--seem more evil-styled to me.

     

    Barkera,

    the Apachii mod also has a white and gold version of that black bow. It looks "good" aligned.

    but i think, someone of you have this armor, or it save on your computer.

    if it true, could someone give me this file?

     

    I'd be keen for that too. It's like perfect armor for my character who I haven't been able to find anything suitable for yet.

     

    That would be considered redistribution as well. You can try contacting the author and ask if they would be willing to forward it to you, but this particular person is fairly angry with the Oblivion modder community so I'd just give up on it if I were you.

    Yeah, I just found out about that this morning and downloaded it. I'm having problems unzipping it though. I use WinRAR and it keeps telling me there's an error with it either from being an unsupported version or has a bad file path.

     

    Try this: http://www.7-zip.org/

     

     

    Still getting the problem. Z-zip just flat out says it cannot open the file as archive.

     

    WinRAR says the archive is either in unknown format or damaged. I can't even open it to just look inside the file, neverminding unzipping it.

    Yeah, he took them down. :(

     

    I never had a chance to take a look at it. Thanks for the reply.

     

    The link to filefront I provided still has the file if you are interested in downloading it.

    I've been trying to find a mod that I had seen, It was an armor mod that added a shop with a few types of re-textured and slightly customized elven armors. A number of the armors were green and brown and the shop was on the road somewhere. I can't remember much more than that unfortunately.

     

    That sounds a bit like Dopplers Armory

    hmm, I think you might've misunderstood what I underlined there; I was referring to people's inablitity to be responsible for their own actions.

     

    At any rate, I might have to take some of my mods down because of future concerns for the ideas of some.

     

    No, I understood you, I just disagreed.

    Hmm, I see. I would debate this but I'd rather not hijack the thread anymore than what we have already with an off-topic.

     

     

    David, were you able to get the script you wanted?
