GBHis Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Ew... Using NTFS? This guy could have sneaked anything in, if you do... Check your harddisk, just to be sure. He might have some way of executing nasty stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledhed Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 Ew... Using NTFS? This guy could have sneaked anything in, if you do... Check your harddisk, just to be sure. He might have some way of executing nasty stuff. Here is more info and what to look for and what needs fixing . BTW the ****%$ crap is STILL out there to be dowloaded as of yesterday ....AND I did E-mail the admin . A month or so ago (IIRC), the TES Mod Community was beset by an obnoxious individual (who probably persists to this day by trolling these boards) who posted fake mods that ranged from pranks to game-damaging alterations. We mobilized rather quickly to counter him, by starting a series of threads that served as warnings to passers-by of the offending mods. Well, he has struck again, this time by issuing the "Imperial Henchmen" mod (look for it yourself on TESSource if you want, it'll probably get zapped shortly). I learned of the mod in this topic: http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/index.p...howtopic=556203. Upon downloading, I didn't even need to open the ESP file to ascertain it was a fake mod; the textures he packed with it ranged from one that was brown that stated "I eat s&$#" (with the full, uncensored word in his texture ), to several replacement textures on rocks and in the IC that made them straight blue. I had enough evidence to declare it a fake mod then and there, and didn't even bother to look in the ESP (though I might just to see what other shennanigans the Miscreant pulled). This is a warning to all: The Miscreant is back. He's gotten more sophistocated by including textures in his mods (or could be a new Miscreant altoghether). If a mod looks suspicious, inspect it in the CS and report it to the Mod community to warn us all. This post has been edited by MadCat221: Sep 10 2006, 12:25 AM If you fell victim to this mod, simply deleting the offending ESP file will not be enough; he packaged malicious textures with it. They don't do damage to your operating system like a virus, but they will cause texture anomalies in the game as they replace textures (mainly rocks and some prolific IC textures). The following texture files in the archive disrupt normal game function and must be deleted: in Texture/Architecture/ImperialCity:HenchmenDen.ddsiccobblestone.ddsichdomewall.dds in Textures/rocks:chrock01.ddschrock02.ddscprockmoss01.ddscprockmoss02.ddscprocomoss03.ddsgcrock01.ddsgreatforestrock01.ddsgreatforestrock02.ddsgreatforestrock03.ddsgreatforestrocklichen01.ddsgreatforestrocklichen02.ddsgreatforestrocklichen03.ddsgreatforestrockmoss01.ddsgreatforestrockmoss02.ddsgreatforestrockmoss03.dds Be sure to run an archive invalidation utility again if you ran it after installing this fake mod, so you don't trade blue textures for pink (IE: missing) textures. FYI: HenchmenDen.dds is the dead giveaway to it being a fake mod. http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/index.p...p;#entry8058159 I hope this is helpfull to anyone who loaded the crap .
