I hope you didn't delete it already.

And I hope you had a lovely holiday!

Hi there! Nah, I didn't delete it. Nor have I given Vortex the heave-ho. Not yet, anyway. Switching off the REDmod option in Vortex seemed to do the trick for most everything. But I do want to learn how to do it all manually, because there's just too much groovy stuff being dangled just over my head, and there is no pity for the plebs.

I MUST HAVE the new massive prop pack for the AMM. Vortex seems to hate it, and manually placing archives and lua's where they're *supposed* to go doesn't work either. Total Insta-crash.

I've gone digging in the files to find my working preset saves, but if they're where they should be, they aren't named anything recognizable.

So I'm just playing dress-up, at the moment. New character. Another apartment preset. Working my way through ACT 1 properly, this time. Instead of just flailing wildly in the dark.  Gimme that iguana.

Thanks lots for your input! I'll upload some presets w/thanx to all once I've got my training wheels off!

It's a learning curve that's for sure. I should clean up and upload my own preset sometime maybe LOL. Although it's probably rather boring to be honest. I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
