nosisab Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 What is strange is somehow I'm anxious for that beta buzz to pass only to put Steam again in "Don't even try to update anything without my explicit consent" if at all possible, neither anxious for the patch itself nor for the CK coming in the next minute.

elleonblanco Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 As usual I will wait and see. Happy that they have shown it really exists. Notice they didn't say when it would be ready. They are just trying to quiet the community down a bit. so now it is time to wait, and wait , and......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter you do, every single time you launch Steam it will revert all update settings back to default. The very first thing Steam does when signing in is to check for updates for all games. If you forget to go into offline mode before you close Steam, you're screwed because Steam wont launch in offline mode until it goes online and verifies. I hate Steam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedemoninside Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Steam is kind of like commercials. Nobody likes commercials, but commercials provide money for the station. therefore the television industry has decided for you that you shall get commercials no matter how you feel about them while watching tv. I miss the days where companies would get a loan, make an awesome game, then make money off of selling the boxed game. Now many people just steal the game. The companies can't make the money, so in comes Steam/Valve to save the day. We created the monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But more and more games tend not to even bother making demos. Probably because they are all sequels... which explains my boredom. We need more NEW stuff.

LHammonds Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 And the key bits of information you want to know is... "The Skyrim Creation Kit will be a free download via Steam under Tools, Bethesda add." I *know* some of y'all are clicking on that toolbar repeatedly all day...so when you find out the Creation Kit is available to download, send me a PM so I can update the CK Release Info thread so everyone subscribing to it can get an email notification. :thumbsup: Thanks,LHammonds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor. Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) Speaking of ck, i wonder if its possible to do a complete graphics overhaul of skyrim and turn it into a skycrysis :teehee: Anyone up for the challenge.. Also make those trees into a sandbox destructible trees :thumbsup: Edited February 2, 2012 by Thor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eltucu Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) No way to write shaders for the game so no i guess. Unless some one is up to the task of decompiling skyrim shaders, coding SSAO in assembly then find a way to repackage it in something that Skyrim can use : / Besides that physics in skyrim are crap. The underlying tech behind in Skyrim is pretty crappy, that was what 747823 complained bout. And that sort of coding is out of reach for modders, or for anyone who doesnt has the source code, the third party libraries, etc. Skyboost and TESVAL did something along those lines but that kind of optimizations are sort of like this: I give you a guide of 10 steps to make a cup of tea, but you, since you're a knowledgeable person, know a way to make the same tea in say, 6 steps. So you rewrite the guide for those 6 steps. The purpose of the guide is the same, to make tea, you didnt change that, you just made it to be simpler and easier. Thats why Skyboost and TESVAL did, they didnt re purposed the code, just made it simpler. Making new code that way is extremely hard, and no one goes that deep for software development exept for some special cases, PC software development for the most part isnt one of those cases, unless you're into scientific high performance coding, driver coding, or coding for OS low level features. If modders had a way to code shaders for Skyrim, you'd be seeing crazy stuff like SSAO, volumetric light, etc. I think that STALKER's engine compiled shaders on demand so the shaders were in an understandable form by default, so some guys appeared (jjwalker, sky4ce) and made new shaders for the gmae. jjwalker perfected the lighting a lil bit and sky4ce added a bunch of stuff (god rays for example).
