News Comments > Skyrim Hi-Rez Pack & Creation Kit
57. Re: Skyrim Hi-Rez Pack & Creation Kit Feb 7, 2012, 18:48 Mashiki Amiketo
 
Just a heads up though. That if you're using any custom textures, a 'high res' texture will always override a low res texture. There's a flag for high-res vs low res textures in bsa/esp settings now. The hack-around types of archive invalidation that have been used in the past, do, sorta, kinda work. Not on body/armor/weapon data but on static objects with solid meshes mostly. So until a perment solution is figured out, I'm guessing either a new form of AI, or always including .egt files, just know what you're installing.

I have a nudie mod installed. Do you think I should get rid of that before getting the hi-res mod?
Shouldn't make any difference. At worst you'll just have to reinstall it.

edit: Doing some checking and all that, body/head all that doesn't work now. Looks like we'll have to figure out some new form of archive invalidation.

Well some of us had already figured this out before player attack did, and posted it in this this thread here.

Now the acronym means "thousand" in Japanese.
Considering how many japanese mock the sony over the PS, I can't see this having much in the way of having a positive impact on marketing for them.

Keep hearing good things about the novels, might be the next thing I pickup after I finish the Dark Tower series.
The first 3 books were pretty good. Though the 4th book has some pretty lackluster reviews, since it's a different author.

Must have learned something from Sony. The fact that someone learned something from Sony is surprising in itself.

Apparently the rumor mill is going off and about that it's a high res texture pack for PC users.

Mash, you should know better for most that they do keep making money on parts...for many years to come. Hell, they make more on parts over the years than they do the actual initial car sale.

True. Except I can buy cars with a warranty(and used cars with a warranty), and I don't have to buy 'name' brand parts. Not even for new cars that just rolled off the lot. I can buy non OEM parts and cut the loop right out and under from the automakers and give my money to someone else. Actually, if the trade laws that are in effect now, weren't. You wouldn't even have a trade market outside of OEM-knockoff parts. The reason that you have OEM parts is because when nafta was signed, one of the stipulations was all car companies must make auto parts for their vehicles for 7 years.

I also think his points on why online passes are bad are extremely weak and his nerd rage extremely lame.
So...when you buy a used car, or fridge, or hell even clothes from someone else, they should be making money off you for the convenience buying used? I agree the guy does rant, and rant wildly. But the point of them double dipping on a sale is valid.

Incidentally I just got a steam message about it being there and free to play.
Same. It's not really all that bad, though there's no shortage of problems with it not being able to transfer you back at the end of missions and other assorted bugs with the servers being too busy.

The game was fun for about a week.
I actually made it for about 3 weeks, it was fun. I've still got another month of play time that I might get into it. The problem is, the game has a very "merhgahlash" feel to it with enemies and combat.

I have all of my Steam games archived already, but what I want to know is how would one unpack them without Steam? It's a proprietary archive, isn't it?
I wouldn't worry one way or the other. In the EU, germany, norway, and sweden in particular. If a program becomes 'locked' because a company goes under, they're required by law to provide a method to unlock it, or a method to extract the files. And if they don't, it's a no holds bar free-for-all to crack it.

Do we own our Steam games? No. I thought this was settled already - you own a single solitary license to use that game, regardless of where you bought it from, as has been the case since digital media existed.
I guess it depends on where you live. Laws aren't uniform, and if a company is operating somewhere else where the laws are different(i.e. server presence), those terms don't apply, or are bound differently. Or not at all, or in some cases in reverse.

In most places outside of the US, a digital copy is the same as a physical copy.

My guess is:
She was named the 88th most desirable woman of 2008 by AskMen magazine and 14th hottest woman of business 2009 by Business Pundit.
had something to do with it.
Seriously? I'm guessing there's no amount of taste in either of those publications then.

Never heard of SimTower, is that true? Please tell more.

Sim Ant was cool, it was the ants sugar.
Simtowerwas true, a lot of fun too. The days of really fun sim games seems to have died though. Sim earth, or sim ant. Hell even sim farm would be nice to see again.

You folks do realize Vivendi already owned Blizzard and still hold a majority stake in ActivisionBlizzard prior to their merger with ACTV, right? I'd chalk this more up to Blizzard project management being permanent riders of the failboat than Activision.
Shit sides down hill, usually from the top of the corporate ladder into project management.
