Merry christmas everyone. Here you can share or brag about what you got for xmas. Tried to take pics with my phone but the box in real life is so shiney and reflects too much light to see anything. The funniest thing about my bamboo is i bought the exact same one for my girlfriend so we both bought each other the same thing. lol

[video=youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooPotzJG4B0&feature=youtu.be Stated the water again this time making it compatible with enb... all i need is a water only enb because i get some lag. Death i redid the realistic water, i'll send it ya though mail... need to do some minor tweaking first it's compatible with enb now too..

I don't quite understand laws, reply is going out based on the title of the topic. One of the laws that has always had me baffled is... hmmmm maybe i should explain in story mode. My friend was the kindest person you could meet, he would not hurt a fly although he did do some stupid things in life., he was protesting against them cutting trees down near his back yard. What started off as 3 people ended up being about 50 to 100 people protesting. he wrote this is war on the wall, an empty building got burnt down and a lot of letters got sent out. apart from those and seeing the cops beat him up on the news have no idea why they said he was an invirnmental terrorist and a eco terrorist and threw a life sentance at him... some murderers was due out before him... he was going to get permissions to release a documentary about it but committed suicide last year. Is there something they are not showing on the news or is this just another cruel sensless law... life sentance seems a bit harsh for wall spraying, tying yourself to trees etc.

I''ll try get an upload up today or tomorrow latest, i think im going to release a small test... textures, lighting and water to test... Going to be adding a file for riverwood not created by me but depicts what riverwood will look like when i have added stuff.. I don't have the water in the video anymore due to a silly mistake i made of thinking i made a backup copy of the esp but i have something im working on that is not as realistic but good... will remake the realistic one though at some point i have the maps so its just a matter of me getting the right settings together again... Will release a video later showing off the new updated stuff... lighting water tweaks texture changes etc.

rules, laws etc pah... You don't want to move to anywhere on this planet, you want off this planet, there are no laws on building a rocket to space... although i wonder how long it would take if that became an issue. I'd put good money on the outcome being getting so far up then being picked up on radar and radio ordered to land before they shoot me down, if i am then allive a lawsuit waiting for me claiming my actions put airliners at risk and myself... Stoopid laws. uk's laws are getting ridoncilous.

Been working on that extra bump... using various cloud methods with blend modes and fade effect... the green channel adds a lot of purple, but using the red channel i did get some dark blue that is in your normal... will keep trying new things and going in game to see the difference. :)

the water is a river i did the speed to match the rapids lol... Performance hits... well each has their mod limits due to what specs their rig is.... so mine is not a pro rig but it can handle a lot of stress for what it is. Resolution i have is 1920 x 1080p 60MHz most textures you see in the video are 1024 x 1024 pixels DXT5 ARGB 8 bpp | interpolated alpha . the rocks and wood are 2048 x 2048. My water is 1024 x 1024 Pixels 128 bpp ScRGB+Premultiplied Alpha floating point. INI file is tweaked way past Ultra with more than half draw distance on light LOD etc, No stripping yet, Tree culling on. some cell culling on. Lots poly count due to increased density in tress and objects, plants etc... I only get a stutter during autosave... the video stutters a bit but that came after converting the video so it wasn't an in game issue... It supprisingly runs smooth. Lags a little when i have a lot going on on my desktop like photoshop with huge 2048 x 2048 textures open and ck running with tweaked CK INI.

Im thinking of doing that.. ndo2 is the best program i have ever had so far for normal maps, worked wonders on my world of tanks conversion.. g'night and thanks for the help, much appreciated :) im upstairs on my laptop to see what my screenshots look like without my Smart 3D TV

Aaaah i see what you mean now, thank you so much.. it's late here 3am but tomorrow im going to work on giving my normals some more work. I don't have ndo, i create height maps and convert them into normals, then i have to fix a lot of things in photoshop. i'll find a way to do this... will update with some results :)

I think i know what you mean, my normals seem ok the game looks flat when the sun is at the highest point but retains more bump the more the sun goes down. Not sure how to solve this... Green and blue alphas for normals control left and right dept, slightly angled though. green holds purple colors while the blue holds yellow colors... shadow and light i think. normal mapping is very hard im still struggling with it a bit. My texture My normal Outcome Here are some different angles of water and shallow water, even added the ulgy angle last. yuk ima sort that out if it's the last thing i do lol This is not the realistic water in the video, i changed it to make it non photorealistic. forgot to save a backup of the esp.

are these in the alphas on the normals, because i erased them till i figured out what they used them for.. i know the defuse holds transparency or specular but wasn't sure what the normal alphas held... Could i trouble you into posting a diffuse texture with a matching normal and normal alpha so i roughly know how to work them.. I must agree when i started out i had crysis in mind but true photo realism seems to be out of my reach atm... getting close but not the real thing lol The water i had has gone im trying to bring it back though, the shallow water looked great. there was only 1 angle i could not make look realistic and that is facing forward on the right side of the water... tried multiple times to figure out why that part look horrible... when i fix up this new water im working with i'll show you shallow deep and angled, then i will show you the ugly angle where it never seems to look good. lol The only reason i don't use ENB is because its too good for my rig... id love to have ENB but i will need upgrades before i can enjoy a good ENB.. already tested the parralax and soome other stuff and was very impressed.

No ENB or injectors are used in my game, that is normally the first question people ask, what ENB settings you using. For a while now i have been modding the landscape textures and water of skyrim. Now im not the kind of person who is happy with his outcome and normally i don't like my own work. However i am now starting to see results i could say with a lot of confidence that im liking. Because of a realistic water i ruined recently, i decided to see if the land could be done in the same way before i try to get the realism back in my water. The Photo realistic water i am talking about is below. Photo Realistic Water Video [video=youtube]https-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgVmTm_H86E Here is a small video to show the lighting test i did today with my new photo realistic textures. I have done all the landscape files twice so it's not that big of a job, i was just never happy so started over a few times. Got riverwood area done, going for riften area next and turning that autumn into spring. Because of the limitations in my skills im not expecting a crysis comparison but im going to try regardless. After the textures are up for download, please bare in mind a lot of landscape edits will be needed, not only to fix bad seams but to add more to the game without pushing my pc to any stress levels, the game to me looks bare and dull. This may take me a while.. Photo Realistic Land Video [video=youtube]http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=-424lZj9oGI Because my video quality is useless im going to tag some screenshots below

https://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3024628 this might help btw im jelly, i want your system :)

Would be best to just install it on your new rig... copy over your save file\s and play away. vanilla free. it's also best to keep your game where the installer puts it, a lot of games you can move anywhere and still play but skyrim is installed through steam so there could be some registry values involved... I can't remember now and im on my laptop so can't check till tomorrow but i think mine is installed in steam apps found in program files... again though im not sure i have used a shortcut for months to get into my work area.

your welcome.. stick around if there is some kind of workaround like the one for halo2 im sure it will be posted here 1 day.

the game you have is saved in a save folder located in your documents, games blah blah... you'll find it... if you freshly install you need to carry those over.... from documents\my games\skyrim... but yes it won't have any mods and as long as you have your saves transferred you will have your progress.

DDSopt must use the RegGetValue function which is only available in Windows XP 64-bit, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Server 2003, and Server 2008. Pretty much everything EXCEPT XP 32-bit. so to get this thing to work in windows xp (x32) you would have to do quite a lot of work , possibly to the extent of having to write some system api's to get it working... https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724868%28VS.85%29.aspx

Rain here in the UK... with bad winds yesterday. my bin flew into some poor sops car... i saw it out of the window and then pretended i was in bed. I'll face him when he knocks on the door a bit lighter. :)

We just had new unsulation in about 2 weeks back... tried the phone with no light active and it picks nothing up but that's one mystery solved i have an older mystery: went to take some picture of some old buildings with a friend, well he's no longer a friend he ran off with my ex.... Here is what we saw.. i manged to take 1 picture of it before it vanished. I turned the image black and white and altered the tone and contrast to show more details i even did a negative, it's definitely strange. i have even zoomed in as far as i can and to me it looks like a bubble. in 3D But the camera i use to have is not very good so not a lot i can do about the quality we didn't even expect to see what we saw in this forest with old buildings there. im from the uk.. I did not have photoshop at the time because i did not mod games back then so ive only done some test in the paint tool that comes with the OS. Might stick it in photoshop see if i can change it to see how the orb changes. no orb https://scontent-b-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/1468534_526647210765721_1679020784_n.jpg Orb https://scontent-b-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/1469891_526647140765728_285323976_n.jpg A friend said it could be a spec of rain on the camera... i have just tried to imitate the orb in photoshop but i could not get it to look the same i cut out rhe orb aand pasted it in the one without an orb then did a feather, it looked ok i guess but then you enlarge the image and zoom in you can tell the difference... between the origonal and the one being imitated. I did an invert on the original and it looked 3D and thats without glasses.

Ok here is a clip of an orb there is one after the big one but near the chair... i think by looking at the state of my house right now why i have not uploaded much video. its a complete mess with bits everywher. there is cement and mud on the carpet with wallpaper left overs etc when the landlord has his boys finish repairs i will upload a longer video showing thier mmovements and stuff........ and to top things off my dyson that is only 2 months old no longer sucks so we have to go out and buy a brush.... if your wondering what happened to my hand i punched my brother and he ducked and my fist when through one of the doors the junk sheet of soft wood went through and scratched up my hand, im not a violent person he is a thief and sometimes enough is enough.

Some move like they have conscious of where they are going... like it will start to move up, stop and zip in a half circle iin an opposite direction, really random movements but strange movements... im converting my phone video and cutting it down so i don't have to wait ages for utube to upload...

For a while now i have been seeing things in the corner of my eyes but when i turn to acknowledge it there is nothing there. I would see things more in darker lit areas, a slight small almost invisible movement that makes me turn and look but there is never nothing there. I went to the bathroom 2 nights ago.. i was close to the floor as i sat on the toilet and that is when i saw them. They are like super tiny sparks of light that are mostly white but some can give of a green red or blue tint feeling. they zip so fast that when you see one zip by iit''s hard to pay attention to any detail, they go too fast,, and are probably too small to hold any detail. I shouted my girlfriend up and asked her if she could see them, she said no she cannot see anything. I told her to crouch down like i was (btw i had my pants back on by then) she still could not see anything. Anyway since i have seen them it is not something i can erase, there is something about noticing something that makes you notice it every time even when you try nut to. Last night i was upstairs watching them and my cat followed me upstairs, as i followed a spark of light the cats head also followed it, i then saw another to my left and the cats head also shot left and followed the spark travel pattern, i knew then that i was not going crazy or having major eye problems so i ran downstairs and called my girlfriend up and asked her if she could see them. She said no i told her to look at the camera because i was recording on her phone.. she saw them they are much bigger on the phone so they are easier to see.... some of them was large and bright you cannot miss them. What do you think i am seeing, it has gotten to the point where i am scared to turn off the lights.

I like my fair share of building games like sim city. i love strategy games like C&C. The amiga 64 set me off with building and strategy when i got my hands on settlers. i spent hours and hours on it upgrading my buildings training my army setting up battle plans... Because i like more than 3 games out of every catagory including sports cause i use to thrash NBA for the sega back in the days, i will never truly be bored, i got a game for what mood i feel in... I have never heard of centurian but having seen some google screenshot im tempted to drag some emulators out. But if i do that i can see me slamming on international karate plus and super metrouds for my game boy advance emulator. I think when it comes to spending the most time on games and i mean old games im highly surprised sonicc and mario has not been mentioned yet. Or if you go back aa little further alex the kid... cracking the coding behind the rock paper scissors and having my mother question how i know what to pick everytime hahaha ok lets see how good my memory is sonic code. up up down down left left right right ABC start the proud smile upon my face has gone as i now feel old. loling

I love dragoons i like the final fantasy based combat system but also how you can punch in combos. even remember most of the characters, dart and lavits etc. if we are going to playstation1 though my ultimate game was tekken 3, boring as hell alone but with a good player beside you, the blocking and moves a fight can last for over an hour... i was supreme king but then the tournaments ended. Tekken tag and upwards did not impress me much, they where pretty in graphics but they where faster so you could never have the enjoyment of long intense games. I think a lot of games where underated i am a fan of silent hill and when i played parasite eve 1 and 2 i though they would have rated them a little better. Silent hill took off along with resident evil but parasite eve vanished. they where all awesome... another game i would have liked to see more sequels to is dino crisis. i have a playstation emulator and there is one game i really liked but did not get the chance to complete it. I would love to get it back somehow so i can finish it, star ocean. Always think about that game when the ps1 is mentioned. Breath of fire too, they where great rpg's i think the old ones are the best.

its a fantastic game and moddable too :)
