Why do mod authors choose RAR over 7z?
CovertSlinky replied to DoubleYou's topic in General Skyrim LE Discussion & Support
LOL, I meant to add a line saying how couldn't believe I had just brought up that dinosaur, lol. Oh lord, I do not miss those days what so ever, aside from the games. Days when you had to play games through MSDos, lol. DOOM, Quake, Hexen, Wolfenstein can't leave that out. Used always think the guards were saying "Whats up, Dawg!" LMAO. Wow, I need to stop, cause I am also remembering all the troubles I went through those computing days, BSOD's were just a terrible household name so very much more than today. -
Book Covers Skyrim - Lost Library
CovertSlinky replied to DanielCoffey's topic in General Skyrim LE Discussion & Support
Ok, something isn't right for me, I can not get the lost library to populate anywhere on the bashed patch report as being incorporated into the patch, grrr. EDIT: Ok, I cut out the crap, and just added relev on the plugin in wrye bash. Didn't sound like I needed delev, cause if understand from your description, you are only adding to the merchants, and not removing/replacing...I think. -
Book Covers Skyrim - Lost Library
CovertSlinky replied to DanielCoffey's topic in General Skyrim LE Discussion & Support
Ok, found some helpful info that I wasn't aware of. So, this mod only needs to be added into the leveledlists if I understand right. And because Wrye Bash sets all mods to automatic tag (with the exception of mods that have tags placed by load sorters, i.e. LOOT), then all I have to do is manually add it in the leveledlists when I build the patch, and not have to worry about adding the correct tags, correct? -

CovertSlinky replied to DanielCoffey's topic in General Skyrim LE Discussion & Support
Ok, question. What bash tags need to be incorporated to the plugin for wrye bash to place it in leveled lists when building the bashed patch? EDIT: Or should I just add it into the leveledlist manually? -
Why do mod authors choose RAR over 7z?
CovertSlinky replied to DoubleYou's topic in General Skyrim LE Discussion & Support
Lol, yeah I do know about that "send to/compressed (zipped) folder" context menu option, I just haven't used it since windows 98, and didn't even think about it. SO, I stand corrected...again :p -

Sweet, really want to see your work, you have been working pretty hard on it. I got a feeling it is going to look good. Good luck on the remainder of it.

Random CTD, how to figure out what is wrong
CovertSlinky replied to minos55's question in General Skyrim LE Support
Best way is to use Skyrim Performance Monitor, which is listed in the STEP guide. -
Why do mod authors choose RAR over 7z?
CovertSlinky replied to DoubleYou's topic in General Skyrim LE Discussion & Support
Well I stand corrected about no archive ability of windows, never knew about that 'makecab' command. Now what are you saying DoubleYou? Are you saying windows can do that without any compression tool installed? If so, how? I have never known windows being capable of extracting RAR's or Zip's. -

CovertSlinky replied to DoubleYou's topic in General Skyrim LE Discussion & Support
WHAT??? Where are you getting that idea from? Don't fall subject to thinking that because there is 'Win" in the name that it is a Microsoft product. By default, windows comes with NO archive/compression tool. -
ACCEPTED Book Covers Skyrim (by DanielCoffey and doccdr)
CovertSlinky replied to dstansberry's topic in Skyrim LE Mods
So, is this mod going to be a requirement for the mod Daniel is currently (and wrapping up) working on, The Lost Library? I haven't included this mod in my current load, I used it sometime ago, but I need to get this back on my list, can't remember why I took off to begin with, or maybe I just forgot to put it back after going STEP 2.2.9. I am starting to drift here, sorry. -
Why do mod authors choose RAR over 7z?
CovertSlinky replied to DoubleYou's topic in General Skyrim LE Discussion & Support
Correct you are, but I think it boils down to what has been said already. Most people just don't know, or hell maybe they don't even care. Partly because this isn't a topic that really ever gets any attention on the internet, so the average user is oblivious to RAR vs 7z. Unless you are seeking for the information of which is better, if you are a user who knows nothing more than you need an archive/extraction tool, you will probably run into winrar first. Ok, had to test that last sentence, so I typed in "file compression tool" and 7z was first on the list. So I am wrong, unless I am going about this wrong to begin with. "archive tool" had 7z come back second on the list. List, I mean google search list. So, seems like 7z should be majority of what people have. WinRAR never popped up on that search either time. Idk...I digress. -

CovertSlinky replied to minos55's question in General Skyrim LE Support
Glad to hear you may of fixed it. Just be sure to watch your vram consumption when compression is set to false, you will get ctd's if it reaches your vram limit (sometimes even just approaching the limit will cause one). Just something to consider and happy modding. -
So, you are saying that Mining Makes Noise was/is the culprit for you Irish Red? EDIT: Understood.

Skyrim Performance Monitor (by mnelson999)
CovertSlinky replied to stoppingby4now's topic in Other Utilities
Alright, someone has to tell me, what in the h e double hockey sticks :p Does the "Threads" counter equate to? It's bugging me, so I finally have broke down to ask. Google searches are irrelevant. So, what does it mean, how does it relate and what is better, higher vs lower? -

The Elder Scrolls Skyrim: Goat Simulator
CovertSlinky replied to DoubleYou's topic in General Skyrim LE Discussion & Support
+1 HAHHAA, that sounds like hilarious fun! So far the funniest thing I have done with mods I have installed, is with FIO and minty lightning. Fire enabled with FIO, and hostile lighning with minty's mod, and force a lightning storm and watch villages be set on fire, is good fun. But, play an insanely powerful goat and murder sh*t, that could be loads of fun. Got my vote. -
Yeah makes me curious too, the only conflict I came across OBIS wise, was from OBIS Redone, which overwited some SMIM and aMidianBorn textures. Not a big deal so far. I don't currently have a mining ore issue right now, but I did just install OBIS today, so I am gonna go check that out and see what happens. EDIT: Just checked, and with OBIS installed, I have no issues mining for ore. So gotta be that other mod, SIC. My guess anyway.

SKYRIMLE VioLens-A Killmove Mod (by Reko)
CovertSlinky replied to DoubleYou's topic in Skyrim LE Mods
LOL, fair enough. I might try this with a fresh save and profile with just what is needed for the mod installed, remove that instance and see what happens. Irish said he was interested in a fix for it, so thought I might try and help him. And damn those wisdom teeth, I had three pulled and got lucky with the last one, my back moler had to get removed before the last came in, so when it did, it just fell into the spot where my moler was, and is still there. And boy was I glad, was not looking forward to another wisdom tooth getting pulled!
