This is really strange. I couldn't even view the new post under my profile. I had to go through your profile to see the new post LHammonds. I'm running XP (sp3) and IE7 on my office computer; Vista 64bit with IE7 at home.

Okay, I've got another strange problem. The computer I use at work is not updating the file upload histories, but the computer I use at home is. The work computer seems to be stuck on Oct.28, 2009 and will not update to the current days. I don't think its a firewall issue because the entire site would be blocked if it was. Any other suggestions? I think this might be related to my "lost posts" issue I posted about earlier.

From what i've seen in movies and pics, it looks like an updated Baldur's Gate series. I will probably get it, after price reductions, and will love, but I'm going to miss my favorite class: the Paladin.

I love all those games, and I think everyone one of them are great, but after some thinking about them I'll have to say that FF7 is probably going to take my vote for one reason. It made me look at the rpg and fantasy genre altogether in a different light. The many ideas that came from that game were completely different than previous rpgs and it changed my fantasy perception forever. It was so different that a few times I didn't understand what was going on until after the event took place. I think this is why a lot of people like the game so much and have made such a big deal about it. Not particularly the game play or even the story, which both were great regardless, but because of the change it brought to the genre. I remember before the game came out, they were advertising it on TV like it was an epic movie or something, and the game delivered!

Btw, I looked back and the few replies to that thread are in my post history. Not really sure why they were deleted. Nothing bad about them at all and actually answered the continued questions of the OP.

It might've been me. I was very angry with the reply post I was refering too, but nothing that would be against the forum rules... i think. Anyways, thanks for the reply. I was just wondering about it. I also noticed that in the Unnecessary Violence thread the last few postings on it weren't showing in the forum even though the # of posts was increasing. This also made me think there was a glitch going on. But, if you view the thread from the official TESNexus sight, the comments show up. Was a little weird. Anyways, thanks mate for the explanation. :biggrin:

I've seem to have lost some postings. Was there a problem again or was the thread moderated? I figured if it was the latter, the moderator would have made notes about why it was done in the thread.

Unfortunately, the small things will always be compared to the big things no matter how much thought, care and effort went into them, as I've just discovered after months of work. However, I did learn some new things so it wasn't a total waste of time. One thing I did learn is to stick to your original idea and don't be talked into branching off into an entirely different direction than originally intended if that's what you really want for your own mod. Personally I would be just as happy with a small quest that had a good and engaging story as an epic huge one with voice acting and a lot of extras that people expect to be impressed by. Don't get me wrong....I like to be impressed too, but some of the larger quests I've never finished for one reason or another. I usually get distracted by other mods or time is an issue and I don't get back to the quest I was playing. I also tend to mod more than play these days as well. I think the last big quest I actually finished was Gates to Aesgaard Ep1 and that was because I was involved in making it (testing, translation and writing the books) and knew it almost by heart. Before that it would have been The Dungeons of Ivellon which was just excellent. Quests with their background stories told by journals and other books etc are more interesting to me than a mod that's mostly a dungeon crawl, although a good fight also has it's merits of course. I do appreciate just how much work goes into the big quests though. Just doing a small one takes a lot of time, thought and dedication. And frustration! :sweat: What's bolded, underlined, and large texted is your answer..... as stated in a couple posts already. Large or small, quest/dungeon modes take time. And creating a one cell cave would probably take me weeks at least.

Is that CSR, Companion Share and Recruit? If so, you need to check the forum that's listed there. I think your problem maybe addressed there. If I'm not mistaken, some NPCs won't work with CSR.

You know, the more I read this, the more I get pissed off. :verymad: Personally, a lot of hard of work went into my mods and that's just too bad if my visions doesn't fit your requirements and you just dismiss them. But perhaps there are other people who share the same visions I have when they want a nice two handed sword that they were looking for and that's the reason I even released mine. Instead of being critical of "types" of releases, how about you make some suggestions/requests in what you want. We do have a forum dedicated to that. Look it up. It's crap like this that makes modders quit.

I'd vote, but I can't. I've played at least half of those titles and they are all on equal terms as far as greatness.

hmm.... Do you ever open CS up with other programms running in the background? Sometimes if im on the net and listening to music and playing around in CS it has problems working in genral I found the problem. The Preview setting was turned off some how. Check this and the problem clears up... :wallbash:

My CS keep crashing whenever I try to edit an NPC. Firstly, I don't see a face when you pull up their settings, and I think this is the ultimate problem. Secondly, you can change a few options, which you can't see the result of, but when you try to change the hair color, it 100% of the time crashes. Any clues what could be wrong?

Nevermind. I finally figured it out after messing around with it..... Just took me awhile. :verymad:

wow, i feel all warm and fuzzy inside after reading this. :biggrin:

hmm, I only know a little about scripting myself and nothing about shaders, but I know there are several mods out there that have visuals to enchantments. I don't think they apply to arrows though, but there was an arrow mod recently released that had trailing visuals when fired.

Yes, that one is an excellent one too. I almost forgot it. It is also HIGHLY endorsed by myself as well. I'm mainly looking for a general NPC recruiting type mod, such as CM or CSR. I'll probably end up using both.

Oh, i already use both Viconia and Saerileth and HIGHLY endorse them. I was just looking at the others for different options. I'm going to put together an adventure team. BTW Sult, why did you label the next quest mod for Vic with a part III instead of part II? That was what I was thinking of doing for my other adventurers. Can you use the features of both together on one NPC?

Which partner mod do you consider to be the superior one? Cutthroat Mods/Blackie's CM Partner Mod Basic or The Talkie Toaster's Companion Share and Recruit mod? Do you use both? Does the two mods have a "designate house" or "hang-out here" command? I'm currently using a mod that has that feature and it's nice to be able to tell her to go home..... especially when the nagging starts. Joking aside, its kind of cool to come home and see someone in my house doing stuff by herself.

PFT!! Speak for yourselves guys with regards to the armor and swords being easy to make. The three simple mods I put together took me many, many hours to complete and I'm too embarrassed to disclose the actual number of hours put in to perfect them. Version 2 of my Carsomyr mode took a very long time to finish itself, and it was only a modification to my first version! Seriously though, quest mods are scary in regards to time-consumption! I had intended on making my sword mods a quest reward but after it took so long just to make it, I had to draw the line some where. Considering that, a quest for myself as a modder will probably be out of the question. I do have an idea for a quest that I really want to do and will hopefully one day be able to actually mod it. By that time though, in comparison to the time it cost to make simple equipment, TES5 will be out. LOL.

I believe there is a mod for that already too. I think its under the name of Fenrir, or something like that.

I believe there are already two mods like this. One is from Reneer and the other is something about pirates. I think theres also a mod like this, for the tiger that is, but it might be a panthar or something. All you'd have to really do is change the textures some to make it a tiger. There's a clannfear rideable too, that's dinosaurus-ish.

what game is that from!?

I'd like to see the traditional type dragon. four legs and wings, horns, tail, big claws and teeth, etc.

A couple of my posts are missing from the past few days. They weren't in violation or anything. One of them was replying to a comment on my mod that was in reference to one of the pictures. Has anyone else experienced this?
