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.

I'm having the same problem with paint.net. But the worst thing is it works fine before. I don't know what have changed. Could be dirextx version or something like?
To me, it looks like the image was not decompressed/extracted correctly. The random RGB noise could be compressed data that is being loaded as image data.
As far as I am aware, the directx image formats have not changed in several years, and DirectXTex (the library used for loading by both the Intel and Paint.NET DDS plugins) would refuse to load the file if it was an unrecognized format.
I am the main developer of the Paint.NET DDS plugin. I had one report on the Paint.NET forum of a Starfield DDS file not loading, but that issue appears to have been caused by a file that was incorrectly extracted.
Paint.net is reading the file fine. But when I try to save the file in BC5 format, the app paints the image in yellow.
That is the expected behavior for BC5, it is a 2 channel format that only uses the red and green channels when saving the image.
The blue channel is set to zero when loading the image, which causes the yellow preview image.
not only in preview, the image changes for all, when you load the image after saving it, you have to edit a image in yellow
EDIT: My problem is Solved here: https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/602?tab=description
Oh, it's you! xDDD thank you so much :smile:
What was the issue?
I also discovered a regression in the plugin while answering your question. I accidentally removed the BC5 signed option from the save UI in version 1.12.6, fixed in version 1.12.7.

What tool are you using to extract the files? I am asking because older versions of BAE did not extract some textures correctly.
If the file was extracted correctly, Photoshop should be able to open any Starfield DDS file using the Intel plugin.
GIMP does not support BC7 and other newer DDS formats.
As far as I know, the DDS formats used by Starfield should be similar to the ones used in Fallout 4.
You could also try opening the file in Paint.NET, but if the Intel plugin cannot read the file Paint.NET probably cannot read it either.
The Intel plugin and Paint.NET's DDS plugin use the same Microsoft library for reading DDS files (DirectXTex).

The following thread indicates that it uses BC3/DXT5 with mipmaps: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/8376773-re-texture-guns-clothes-miscellaneous-items/&do=findComment&comment=77163083
If you have an original texture, you can check the format with the DirectXTex texdiag tool: https://github.com/Microsoft/DirectXTex/wiki/Texdiag

The setconsoleouputfile documentation for Fallout 3 indicates that it writes a file into the game installation folder, but as you noted it appears to have been disabled in newer games (at least in the retail builds).
The misspelling was also present in the Fallout 3 version of the command.

I've never really been a fan of liquid cooling. Somehow, putting WATER inside an electrical device just doesn't quite feel right. (but, submerging an electric pump in gasoline does????? hhhmmmmmm.......) I just have a mondo air cooler on mine, and temps are stable regardless of what I am doing, or temp in the room.
The machine I am currently using has a Corsair h100i 240 mm AIO liquid cooler, but it is probably overkill for a 4790K@stock.
The only issue I have had with it is the loud fans, although this may also partially be due to the default case fans that Corsair shipped with the 750D when I built this machine in 2014.
My more recent build uses a Noctua D15S air cooler with a 5950X@stock. I had more trouble mounting that cooler than I ever did with the h100i, the sheer size of the D15S made it hard to align the cooler on the mounting bracket pins while lowering it onto the CPU.
I have never heard of mondo.

Been tinkering with skyrim.ini, skyrimprefs.ini, enblocal.ini, SSEDisplayTweaks.ini, also web research, and no matter what, FPS is capped at 60.
Any help or advice, please?
Have you tried using SSE Display Tweaks?

Dual 3060's probably wasn't the best choice.... lots of money for the second card, but, very little in the way of performance improvement. Money would have been better spent just getting a single, more powerful card. Could always buy the 4060, or 4070 (ti? :smile: ) and EBay off the two 3060's.......
That said, the 3060 will do fine with skyrim, not sure how it will do with more modern games though.
The ASUS dual cards are a single card with a 2 fan design.The 3060 does not have SLI support.

as i use a 4080 tuf in the meantime there are some experiences i can share:
disadvantages:
4080 is still overpriced but i decided to sell the 3080 while still getting a good price for it.
even the advantanges over the 3090 cards is no argument because it is a comparison of old against a new overpriced card.
i took the risk to buy it before the 79er amd cards had been launched and the 3080 dropped too much in price.
it is still a bad time to get nvidia 4k cards for a reasonable price...
advantages 4080:
-always true 4k power available(100FPS+), while the 3080 10 GB operated already at its limits
-no more hassle with vram limitation 16 vs 10 or 12gb, but if i watch the behaviour of all my 4k games i can't recommend any value below 16gb if you like to see Ultra HD graphics fidelity without stutter or compromises! cyberpunk with raytracing (not tested yet) seems to need all the extra nvidia features (see youtube). the 256bit vram bandwith combinded with a much more efficient and better cache seems superior to the older gen cards.
it is like with skyrim: both, sse and fo4 can fully utilize 16GB vram at least with my 4k ultra setup.
-low power consumption and efficiency compared to the 3080! while this is nothing new the difference is yaw dropping: fo4 ultra 4k it is 140 watts vs 230 and more while running with same settings, the 4080 is faster and smoother (both cards efficiency optimized).
-cold and silent operation (not only) during gaming.
I am suitably jealous. :smile: That is a NICE card. :D Would love to have one, but, still out of my price range.
Same. The 4080 is a nice card, but out of my price range.
I recently upgraded my backup machine from a NVIDIA GTX 770 to an AMD RX 6650 XT, mainly because the 770 does not support DirectX 12.
I plan to wait for the next generation of GPUs before upgrading my main machine from a 2070 Super. I hope that the 5070-series cards will have a better price/performance ratio than the 4070-series, but I am not optimistic about that.

1.Where would i look if i was after guides on how to specifically make scripthooks for games? becuase googling basically just comes up with GTA stuff and "guide"just sends me to installing a script hook someone else made :/ and coding is a vast plethora of languages and i am one confused cookie.
I am not sure if there are any guides for making script hooks, it is an extremely advanced form of modding.
Most script hooks work by replacing parts of the original game code with its own hook routines, just locating the parts of the game code that you need to patch would usually require extensive knowledge of assembly language and reverse engineering.
The Skyrim AE script hook (SKSE64) source code can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/ianpatt/skse64
2. for anyone whos made one, if im fresh to coding would it even be feasable or likley that ide be able to make or even update an existing script hook? without learning a ton of extra things about coding (like i just want to specialise in this one thing atm for what i want to get done)
I have never made a script hook, but I believe that would strongly depend on the exact game and script hook you are wanting to modify.

This looks pretty amazing but he doesn't actually list the mod list.
The mod list video link is posted in a pinned comment.
-
As I understand it, SSE with the latest updates is the same game as AE, it includes 4 Creation Club mods. You only need to buy the Anniversary Upgrade DLC if you want to get the rest of the Creation Club content.
-
My game kept crashing during launching SSE, and I have no idea on whats causing it.
The crash is occurring inside a SKSE plugin: WadeInWater.dll.
The issue appears to be that WadeInWater.esp is not active in your load order.

What is the Photoshop error message?

What DDS plugin and Photoshop version are you using?
I see a few posts about the NVIDIA DDS plugin crashing Photoshop 2021 at https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1132?tab=posts, but the plugin from that mod page is from 2019.
The latest version from NVIDIA was updated in 2023: https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-texture-tools-exporter
GIMP has limited support for the newer DDS formats, it cannot read files that use BC7 compression.
You could also try Paint.NET, it has built-in support for most of the newer DDS formats.
-
-
This is off topic for the GIMP forum section, but I have one other tip about Paint.NET's DDS support:
If you set Paint.NET as the default program to open DDS files, it will provide Windows Explorer with thumbnails for files that use BC7 and the other DDS formats that the Windows DDS reading code does not support.
-
The plugin I installed was the 64bit 3.0.1 version. I´ll try and uninstall the whole thing, reinstall and see if it changes anything.
You should not need to install any plugin for DDS support, is built-in to GIMP.
GIMP's DDS support is still somewhat limited in version 2.10.32, it does not have support for the newer formats such as BC7. Hopefully the GIMP developers are working on that for a future version.
By the way, is the Paint.net program you mentioned worth a try for a newbie?
I would definitely recommend trying it. It has layers and plenty of other features, but it lacks some of the advanced features GIMP has such as layer masks and support for 16 or 32 bits-per-channel images.
It also has extensive support for various DDS formats.
Disclaimer: I wrote the plugin that Paint.NET 4.2.2 and later use for the built-in DDS support, so I am probably biased about the capabilities of that plugin and Paint.NET. :smile:
-
I installed Gimp 2.0 and the DDS plugin as per instructions on Nexus Wiki.
Try installing a newer version of GIMP, it comes with updated DDS support installed default.
Looking at the source code for the plugin that format (DXGI_FORMAT_B8G8R8A8_TYPELESS) should be supported.
I was able to load a DXGI_FORMAT_B8G8R8A8_UNORM image that I saved using paint.net into GIMP 2.10.32, the GIMP plugin uses the same code to handle both of those formats.

Heyas M48! :smile:
Ummm... this spells it out a lot better than I can.
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=scraping
But it's summed up by stealing files from say: Here, and then distributing those files without the author's permission on different sites. :wink:
Thanks for the reply and the information. I understand the reason for the ban now.
I think that the ban could have been explained better instead of using an obscure urban slang term.
Scraping is the standard technical term for that behavior. Wikipedia has an article on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_scraping

But PC partpickersays there would be compatibility problems.
The only compatibility issue I am seeing with that motherboard is that you will need to add a CPU cooler, because the 5800X3D does not come with a stock cooler.
Some of the other AM4 motherboards (e.g. Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) ATX AM4) have a compatibility warning that the BIOS needs to be a certain minimum version to support that CPU.
-
So perhaps I can just askwhich part should I start with? So far everyone seems to say that the graphics card is the star of the show.
The GPU choice would depend on what monitor resolution and refresh rate you are intending to use.
For example, a 2560x1440@60hz monitor would require a stronger GPU than 1920x1080@60hz.
After checking out the ones that were in my budget range I then looked to the comment section only to findmuch debate.
Therefore my OCD brain went haywire and found myself paralyzed for almost a day =D
I believe that the sample builds are intended a starting point to customize for your own needs.
PCPartPicker will update them periodically as new hardware becomes available, and like almost everything else on the internet their choices are subject to debate. :smile:
In my previous post I also mentioned that the PCPartPicker forum has a section where you can post your requirements,budget, etc and other users can create a suggested parts list for you.
I swear it seems the anxiety behind deciding on how to build a PC is tougher opponent than building the PC itself
I understand that feeling.
DDS file editor for Mac?
in Hardware and software discussion
Posted
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.
