  1. Mine seemed to take forever to open. You might have a bad disc. Can you return it from where you bought it?
  2. I've never used "resurrect 1" just resurrect. Try this. Type "kill", "resurrect", "disable", "enable". That may reset him. Don't exit the console after using disable or you will lose the ref id. Just in case baseid 9426e, refid 94285.
  3. What are those factors? That's an unsettling thought. This and pay for mod content concepts may kill modding as we know it. IMO we may be living in a golden age right now. It didn't occur to me at first but micro transactions are already here in the form of DLC. Fallout NV sold for about $60, it's addons probably added up to another $40 to $50. This new game over time cost the player $100+ to buy. And it wouldn't surprise me if the DLC was already built at the same time as the core game. They could sell all at once for $100 but I think many would choke at that number, so they got their $100 per game in a roundabout manner. I'm reminded of a racing expression "How fast you want to go depends on how much you want to spend." Consumer products are such that if you want more you spend more (think of optioning out that new car you buy) Why should games be any different? We have no idea how sophisticated games will be for the generation after us. What we rant about here now may be business as usual then, our children won't complain because that's the way it is.
  4. I don't know if developer costs have gone up or down, but I would like to see facts to support the statement that developer costs have gone up. How do you figure? Technology seems to be going down in price. A large flatscreen tv that cost $3k+ ten years ago (I remember someone telling me about his purchase then) is less than $500 today for a larger screen. What does exist for pc hardware is a price floor. I got my first pc in 2000, cost about $1800, got another about 4 years later, cost $1500 (reused the peripherals), my latest as of 09 cost $2k (new peripherals). If I want a new pc I can expect to pay about $2k. In each case I bought an almost high range machine. Microtransactions are a good strategy for the seller. People will pay $1 a hundred times rather than pay $100 once.Personally I want you to sell me your product then go away from me. I'm reminded of a quote from 1983's Scarface "Never underestimate the other guys greed."
  5. Will Fallout Remastered be officially released by its authors here in the future?
  6. It's amazing what people come up with when they smell money. I've used hundreds of mods. Some great, many average and quite a few are garbage. I have enough trouble choosing what pro made games are good or bad (case in point, a new AAA release that is a turd - Aliens Colonial Marines). Just how much money do you want Valve? Leave the modding community alone before your greed destroys it.
  7. The fact that Morrowind still has staying power may be due to this. Discusses how games are getting dumber.
  8. I'm looking for a spell mod. When cast the pc goes limp and drops as if dead, then you can move around the same way as using tfc in console. The pc's body stays put. Later the spell wears off and the pc gets up and the camera returns to normal.
  9. BBcode then, shows how much I know. Got it to work. Thanks.
  10. I'm trying to get some text in a mod description to display yellow bold. I add the code to the description in the edit page and submit, but what is see is the code around my text, not the result. What I am I missing?
  11. Thanks for the advice. I've uploaded my mod.
  12. I recently tried out this mod vipcxj air flight system It adds wings to your character and allow you to fly. I had the idea that you should be able to fly faster then you could run. Currently the wings, a clothing item, are unenchanted. I made an addon esp that overrides the wings only adding the Ring of Skimming enchantment. I have not used his mod or resources in any way. My esp only has one line in it, the clothing item, and uses his flight system esp as a master. Since I do not modify his file, do I need permission to upload my addon from the author?
  13. Topic discussed here.
  14. Never mind. Found it.
  15. Nevermind, found it.
  16. Read this. Scroll about a third of the way down.
  17. Didn't heroinzero have a number of weapon mods on FO3, such as the xm-586? I can't find anything now.
  18. You could try compatibility mode. To get it, right click Fallout.exe, select Properties, select the Compatibility tab, check the box "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select Windows XP (Service Pack 2). That helped with stability on my Vista 64 bit system. -
  19. I don't think it's legal under the EULA to do such things, Anyway, can't these files be replaced through Steam? Or worst case reinstall the game. -
  20. Try making a simple mod with FO3 only, save that then close the geck. It should generate an ini file then. -
  21. Read Nexus development and expansion philosophy. Scroll about a third of the way down. -
  22. I'm running the latest version of Firefox with AdBlock Plus and NoScript. I don't use NMM. I have no problems accessing the forums, the nexus or downloading files. Occasionally over the past few days I've encountered a couple of SQL errors and 504 bad gateway but not complete site denial. It could be a local problem in your region or something configured wrong on your computer.
  23. A feature I noticed on Google images is that when an image search is done, you get a page of thumbnails. If you hover the pointer over one, a slightly larger image opens in a floating window, that closes once the pointer is moved from the original image. I know that clicking the image will open a larger image but that floating image is a real time saver. Just a little bigger image is helpful with my weak eyes. Any chance that such a thing can be implemented for mod thumbnails and the like?
  24. Sometimes when uninstalling MMM you need to wait in an interior cell for 4 or 5 days or more for the cells to refresh or in this case clear out. Didn't you have issues with stuttering?
  25. My 2 cents. Is your system up to the task? In my experience, UL and Natural Env were graphically intensive. While MMM and Crowded puts a strain on the CPU because of the increased AIs for the extra spawns. Try turning off mods and playing the game. If the stuttering stops you found the culprit. You may need to back off your settings. Another thought is a fragmented disk. Sometimes defragging fixes things. There are mods here to help things run smoothly such as - http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/23208 Some auto savers to save you from pulling your hair out - http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/23627 http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/2937 Look in the utilities section, there are many useful tools there. -
