NorthWolf Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 As I said, some people hate Steam. :P Though, I usually put it in C:\Steam\, but whatever you want, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deu58 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 A new top level folder on one of your (non-removable) drives. C:\AnnoyingDRM\ Edit: :ninja: Yeah games is fine too :) Install FOMM afterwards.So install FOMM after I install the game? Yes Game first then FOMM. As others have said make a folder in C/ and install your steam folder there. It can be very easy to miss the page where you are given the choice of where to install your Steam folder. I forget exactly what the steam page says but I think it is the page that asks you if you want to make it a custom install. Select yes and then navigate to C and at least in my case I created a new folder called games and installed it in there. Other programs will say something like "xxxxx" is ready to install to, and then it will show an actual file path to where it is going to install the program and there will be a browse button to use to change the install directory path. Just go slow and pay attention to the installer set up pages as you click through them. I forget which method steam uses but it is one or the other. It is the custom install method that is really the easy one to miss. I have even missed that one myself before by clicking through the setup pages to fast and miss it. Click click click OOPPPPs! :) The reason for doing this is because the programs 86 and program folders are very heavily protected by the windows UAC security system. On my own system those folders are practically useless and I never install anything in them. There are various work arounds and convolutions akin to mating elephants to make these folders more usable but on other forums I have visited that specifically deal with "How to's" for windows UAC the results are mixed. The simplest and safest fix that actually works is just do not use them for any kind of program such as games, zip programs, editing programs such as code editors or word processing that require saving your work, photo shop type programs etc or any other program that you may want to edit or update later on.

Blackboltz Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 So what excatly is the name of the folder I should install the steam into? Just C/? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deu58 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I personally use my own folder that I created in C. My file path looks like this, C:\Games\Steam Just like what Buddha said. I put all my games in C so having a designated games folder keeps things neat and tidy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackboltz Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 K. I want to thank everyone so much for helping me. I ordered the game and should be getting it in 4-5 days. I'd just like to thank you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackboltz Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 How do you spawn a creature in the game? I know how to spawn items but for creatures do I type in spawn than the ID? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWolf Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Gamebyro Console Commands on the Wiki has most (all?) of the console commands. Haven't checked for a way to spawn creatures but it's presumably in there (no guarantee, though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackboltz Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) No, I didn't see anything related to creature spawning but thank you though. Creatures and NPCs alike Edited June 21, 2011 by Blackboltz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TehBuddha Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Use "placeatme [creatureID here]", without the brackets of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
