PG and LH's Oblivion Mod

[Ladyhawk]

Thanks Khan It should turn out well.

In other news I'm installing Skyrim after borrowing it from Ladyhawk.

I hate Steam. I should be able to play it in seventeen days time. Yay for armadilloty internets.

As far as the mod goes, I have some nice werewolf stuff in, basically, workable lycanthropy going on. I also have several new races in and working. More or less. I want to do some texture work and I need to have a long discussion with Ladyhawk regarding the stats for them but all in all, they work.

That being said, I need to look at the Feartabh and actually modeling the head. Which should be fun. And by fun I mean emotionally scarring.

[Cuddly Khan]

Skyrim is pretty good. Some parts are even better than Morrowind in some parts.

[Phoenixguard09]

Yep I have played it a little more, although in all honesty it was mainly Ladyhawk doing the playing. I don't mind though, she's a hell of a lot better at these games than I.

[Ladyhawk]

Oh no, not at all. You were the one able to kill that dragon. Not me.

[Phoenixguard09]

But, but, but.... Hehe yeah I did, didn't I?

Anyway, no I'm still pottering on in Oblivion although recently to test the new races I've been setting the difficulty to something fairly easy and then having running battles with the Imperial Legion in the Imperial City itself. It's been fun.

Now a question for all you texturers out there. Whenever I try to modify the khajiithead texture I get weird black spots showing up on the model. Everywhere. Some of those spots would be great if I wanted a cheetah-man but unfortunately I want a dog man and the spots aren't wanted. Anyone got any ideas? I think it's a problem with the alpha channel but I don't get why cause even if all I do is Colourise the image in GIMP, it still happens while it doesn't with, say, the argonianhead.

[Phoenixguard09]

Ok then, I may have figured out what the problem was. It may have had something to do with the compression I used.

So, would anyone be interested in a little modeling? Please? I'll throw in a cookie.

[Cuddly Khan]

I would be interested... 1. If Oblivion worked on my computer and 2. If I actually could.

[Phoenixguard09]

Thanks anyway Khan.

I'm surprised all in all. Oblivion is actually more modable than M&B. I can't believe it. I mean, there's so many more possibilities. And it generally doesn't decide to randomly not work. I mean, Vanilla Oblivion had a tendency to do that anyway so I'm really just surprised that the mods don't seem to affect stability very much at all.

Anyway, as far as progress goes, I'd like to show screenies but I can't because FRAPS is an asshole. A major, major asshole. To the point where the only program I hate more is Steam. Only Steam deserves a harder punch in the face than FRAPS.

I'd love to put up some sort of write-up regarding the fluff for the new races but quite honestly I've got no motivation at all these days.

So basically what I'm saying is, I can't be bothered giving you progress updates. If you're reading this and you take offence to it, sorry. But I still can't be bothered.

[Cuddly Khan]

Morrowind is ten time as easy. Especially making speech.

[Ladyhawk]

Thats not helping mate

[Cuddly Khan]

WWOOOOOO!!! GO PHOENIX!!! Is that any better?

[Son of the King]

Why do you hate Steam? Other than your Skyrim download taking forever?

[Phoenixguard09]

Ah it screwed me around with Dawn of War 2 a couple of years back too. That was a waste of $110.

[Ladyhawk]

My offline mode never works.
