Question about creating a FOMOD Installer
TechAngel85 replied to kryptopyr's question in General Skyrim LE Support
Yep. Just like in MO. A priority of 2 will overwrite a priority of 1. Idk what Tannin is doing to fix this. We share wait and see. -
Question about creating a FOMOD Installer
TechAngel85 replied to kryptopyr's question in General Skyrim LE Support
Yep, posted that bug report due to the same things happening with Better Shaped Weapons. Tannin got on top of it the same day he confirmed it. Must have been a quick fix. For now, you'll have to use the external installer (NCC). -

So what are you saying??? I'm a weirdo? My mamma always told me my weirdness makes me unique! :confused: Have not even played XCOM...you make it sound as if I have time for gaming! Sorry, too busying modding to be bothered by actually playing games. Actually, I haven't modded Witcher 2 and am thinking about picking that one up for the $3.99 so I'll have another game (Fallout NV, Skyrim and Witcher 2) to mod and never actually play. -
That's correct. We're switching to LOOT; however, all mod pages will be updated just prior to 2.2.9's release. This will keep the mod pages relevant for 2.2.8.

Help Keith build his first "little" gaming box
TechAngel85 replied to keithinhanoi's topic in General Game Discussion
Any PSU with these dimensions: 4.92" x 2.5" x 3.94" will fit. That's the official SFX dimensions and the dimensions of your silverstone PSU which johnnyGuru gave really good scores: https://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=319 EDIT: https://www.silverstonetek.com/downloads/PSU/GPU-supportlist.pdf According to that list, the SilverStone can support up to a GTX 770. Reports from across the net seem to support this I think you'll be okay. -
Thanks. It was just a link to the author's website out of respect. The download for Inspector is on the next page. I've fixed the link though and removed the external link to "the definitive Guide" because we should not be linking to external guides, but rather improving our own if it's insufficient. Besides, I used that "guide" as a reference when I originally overhauled our Inspector Guide.

Help Keith build his first "little" gaming box
TechAngel85 replied to keithinhanoi's topic in General Game Discussion
If you're not going to OC the CPU, then the stock cooler will do well enough. The memory you want is going to set you back between $130-$150. Two good options are: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145357 https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148657 (I have these in my system but rather the 2x4GB for a total of 8GBs...planning to add another set later when budget allows.) The reason I got these were because they have better manufacture clocked timing so there's really no need for tweaking unless you want to overclock them...which I've read they OC very nicely. -

Help Keith build his first "little" gaming box
TechAngel85 replied to keithinhanoi's topic in General Game Discussion
The video card choice is solid. I actually have that one which I put in my build back in Feb/Mar. I really wanted the GTX 770 because it does perform noticeably better on the benchmarks than the 760; however, budget kept me from getting it. Since playing with the 760, I couldn't be happier and glad I didn't spend the extra money on the 770. I will typically open a game and setup the graphics to what I think would be the best balance between performance and quality. Then I open up GeForce Experience to see what it says the optimal settings are and 9/10 times it tells me I can turn the graphics up even more...so I do! Couldn't be happier with this card! Rock solid in all the games I play at 1920x1080. CPU...another solid choice. This is the same CPU I put in my build as well. I have yet to overclock it and not sure if I am going to. This CPU is powerful enough to handle anything I do which includes some light image and video editing. It might be slightly less powerful than the i7s for editing but overclocking these i5s to around 4.3GHz will match the stock speeds of the i7s in almost all benchmarks. I couldn't be happier which this choice as well! Motherboard...this sounds like a solid choice. However, like you, I've not heard/read much about it as these are pretty darn new on the market. The Intel 9 series is the newest of the chipset series. Just be aware that the H97 does not allow CPU overclocking if you were planning on overclocking that K series CPU. For overclocking, you'll have to go with the Z97 which is around $155. If you're not going to overclock then this board with a non-K series would be the better solution for your budget because you'll save a bit on a non-K series CPU. Case...I like! Power Supply: I agree with the above posts. You'll need more power than that. Here's a calculator that will get you close to what you'll need: https://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp I'd aim just a bit higher than what it calculates. Also, one of the the best review websites for PSUs is Johnny Guru. Most PSUs have a switch on the back as well to change the voltage. An opinion on the modular: building a mini PC you will appreciate the less bulk from wires that are not needed (and thus not present in the case). Having a place to tuck all those extra wires while still maintaining good airflow for good system temps is very difficult and one of the challenges to building mini PCs; thus, a modular PSU could be your best friend and worth it for less hassle with the wires. Memory: for that RAM you're looking at around $130. XMP is good! Just turn on your XMP profile in the BIOS and forget about the RAM. No need to overclock here as the benefits are marginal at best. Cooling: Honestly...just use the stock Intel fan if you're not planning on overclocking the CPU. It does a decent job and isn't that noisy (I never notice mine). I'm still running on mine and I've never had any issues yet. Do note that if you're overclocking the stock fan will not be sufficient. Your case comes with two fans so you should be good there. The case also supports a front 120mm radiator if you do decide to overclock the CPU and need more sufficient cooling for that. Replacement CPU Fan that is compatible with your case and board: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103177 Compare prices here: https://www.newegg.com/ and here: https://www.ncix.com/ (I saved nearly $100 just but doing part of my shopping on NCIX and not solely on Amazon/Newegg) -
On the old forums the announcement forum was locked down to all but staff (or at least I think it was). This is standard practice to the majority of forums on the net. I think it would be a good idea to lock ours down as well. Leave it open to staff so they can still post announcements, but thread creation and posting restricted for everyone else. This will prevent topics from being discussed away from their intended threads.

ACCEPTED White Phial Replacer (by Saerileth)
TechAngel85 replied to phryxolydian's topic in Skyrim LE Mods
This is basically all the lore we have on it: "The White Phial is a legendary bottle forged in the days when Skyrim was just starting to turn to ice. The small container was made of the magically infused snow that first fell on the Throat of the World, and possesses amazing alchemical properties. It is said that the Phial will replenish whatever fluid is placed inside of it. It was made by the master alchemist Curalmil in ancient times, and the Phial was buried with him. In 4E 201, after a lifetime of searching all across Tamriel, the Altmer alchemist Nurelion finally located the Phial and had it retrieved, only to find that it had been broken. His apprentice managed to repair the Phial, but not before his master died. It was last seen in the possession of the Last Dragonborn."...and then this note:"During Nurelion's convalescence, I've been studying the legends of the Phial. I don't know enough of enchanting to make one anew, but with the proper materials, I may be able to repair the original.Please come see me as soon as you can.Respectfully,Quintus Navale, Windhelm" -

ACCEPTED White Phial Replacer (by Saerileth)
TechAngel85 replied to phryxolydian's topic in Skyrim LE Mods
After some research I can't agree with this being included in STEP for a couple of reason. 1) The size of the bottle. This is suppose to be something that you're carrying around with you and it's absolutely HUGE. 2) The lore doesn't support at least part of the design. Lore states it is forged from unmelting snow and mammoth tusk powder as the material and a briar heart as the magical ingredient (most likely used as the combining agent). This brings into quest the handle which doesn't appear as a material from this list and more closely looks like stone or metal. This would exclude it from Core without any doubts. Extended might be able to squeak it in; however, the size of the bottle alone makes me question that. -

Any more final votes on this before I finalize testing? No: 3 Yes: 1 Disclaimer: I only tallied the recent votes as several voted on VL because they use ENB; however, VL has since been dropped from Testing. It's now between SRO and this mod exclusively. Please have played with these textures in-game as the look and feel can be misleading in the screenshots. -
