What do you mean by this? Another user banned for reuploading a nude mod for a child character: The perceived anonymity of the Internet has emboldened a lot of creeps to come out of the woodwork.

Yeah. It is surprising how many people publicly admit to being a pirate or a pedo. They posted that comment on a nude mod for a child character, so unsurprisingly the uploader was banned a few hours later.

Interesting. I always thought it was related to typesetting on a manual printing press, as the lower case version of those letters could be easy to mix up.

Obvious bigot/troll. It is surprising they only received a warning with that user name.

Someone went to a lot of effort to commit endorsement fraud on their images, 25 alt accounts.

As well as the most overuse/abuse of the word hypothetical in a post.

"Hypothetically banned for piracy."

I don't think that is a feature that Nexus supports, there is nothing in the notification preferences related to new games being added to the DP store.

Glad you got the issue fixed. I was a little surprised that the issue was file name related. Quoting that Reddit post : If you need to determine what format a DDS file uses, the best tool I know of is Microsoft's texdiag utility. It is not the most user friendly tool due to being command line based, but it provides detailed info about DDS files: dimensions, format, number of mip maps, etc.

What is the original format of the file? That error message is unfortunately rather vague, I have no idea what 'Invalid platform' means in the context of DDS files. AFAIK most of the BCn formats should work on both Xbox and PC. There are a few Xbox-specific DDS formats, but I would expect the CK to handle the conversion to those formats. I am the author of the Paint.NET DDS plugin, but I have very little experience with the CK and have never tried to port a mod to Xbox.

The original tutorial was saved by the Internet Archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20201109042211/https://barrens.chat/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=70

That user last visited the site in 2018, so it is unlikely they will be back. I would recommend Microsoft's texconv utility, it is a command line app that can batch convert between DDS and PNG (plus a number of other formats).

It looks like WinRAR may not support the compression that file is using. The mod page says the mod is obsolete and has been replaced by http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/62552/

Fnordware has a DDS plugin for Mac: https://fnordware.blogspot.com/2014/09/dds-plug-in-for-after-effects-and.html The plugin does not support some of the newer DDS formats that Starfield uses (e.g. BC7), and I don't know if it works with current versions of Photoshop. Microsoft's DirectXTex library should build on Mac/Linux, but the included sample programs are Windows-only. Intel's DDS plugin for Photoshop appears to be Windows-only.

What error are you getting? I no longer have any Windows 7 machines, but looking at the NMM code it appears that installer requires .NET Framework version 4.5.2 and NMM itself requires .NET Framework version 4.6.2. Both of those versions should work in Windows 7.
