Shidentora Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) OK, I found this mod and unpacked it, but the only file I got is the setup.exe. Oh, boy, I don't like that very much. No esp/esm, no textures, no meshes, no sound... Just the setup.exe. So, do I use this? What are the risks? What happens is something goes wrong? Is it removable? Will my data folder backup work, or will my game become completely unusable?CAN I TREAT THIS WITH FOMM? OMG, I GAVE NO INFO ON THE URL.Here:http://www.fileplanet.com/207717/200000/fileinfo/Fallout-3---STALKER-Arsenal-Mod Edited November 14, 2011 by Shidentora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElderMalaclypse Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Personally I wouldn't use it unless I knew it was safe. Read comments about the mod. Post a question to the author as to why it’s packaged that way. Certainly don't find many mods like that and its understandable your being cautious. The risks: that it’s a virus or other malware uploaded as a mod, but I think Nexus has some sort of prevention in place for that? Not sure.If somthing goes wrong, meaning if it is malware, then you just installed it on your system and whatever it is programmed to do will happen.Removable? Not in the standard method if it is something malicious.As for you backup working or your game becoming unstable I think that would be the least of your problems.FOMM doesn't work with .exe files so there isn't any help on that front. It could go as far as ruining your OS load and requiring a complete re-install or loss of all your information. Just depends on what it is programmed to do. Malware is really only limited by the imagination and skill of the creator. Of course all this is assuming that it is some sort of malware. Best to be cautious and find out as much as you can before running that executable because once you do, it is in your system and could potentially cause major havoc. Post what mod it is and maybe others who have used it can help you out. Good Luck - Mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shidentora Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) TYVM 4 your help, my friend.I haven't done anything with the file yet. I've edited the first post, there's URL, so that ppl can give some info on this.Man, the mod was here on the Nexus, as Abunextgen says, but it's gone for quite a while now and I don't see Toxa reuploading it. I like the Stalker stuff and it's realy, realy - as the kids today say: lame - i.e. it just plainest of plain sux that we ain't got Stalker armor and weapons anymore. Personally I wouldn't use it unless I knew it was safe. Read comments about the mod. Post a question to the author as to why it’s packaged that way.

Shidentora Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Will delete it. I have so many good guns and, the 20th century mod uses the STALKER stuff anyway, and I have it, so what the heck?Can download it again, if necessary.

I don't know if it's good, I didn't try it yet. And as for if it was taken down, or not... That's none of my business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
