🛢️ OLD FARTS UNIVERSAL CAFE 🛢️

[Black Album]

Welcome one and all … to ... OFUC

Customer: Excuse me … but I can’t find any milk for my coffee
Barista: In space no one can … here .. use cream

A simple cafe for people to chat and be frivolous before, during and after the launch of the highly anticipated Starfield game.
This place is just a temporary hideaway if the rows and arguments of the main forum are getting you down and you need somewhere to “chill” for a short time. Please don’t try to continue any arguments from other threads here … it’s not that kind of place.

No … here should be somewhere to relax … tell a few funny stories, make up outlandish adventures of your planned gameplay, meet some new friends whom you may want to chat with at a much later date … or totally ignore when you head off solo into outer space.

There will be no daily mod reviews, no morning greetings from a genial host … no ladies in inappropriate garments serving you drinks … (in fact … it’s pretty much self-service although there is a night shift robot who hoses down any ooze emitting from the Slug-Creatures).
There won't be a theme or any kind of lead character playing the host and we won’t be adhering strictly to the “lore” because, tbh, my attention to the finite details of mythology has always been a bit of an “Achilles Elbow” for me.

Once the main airlock doors are opened and the game is released then I imagine that this place will implode and will be stored, in a jar, on a back room shelf where no one will ever see it again.
But until then … chat away (or don’t ) … I’ll be hiding in a barrel somewhere, probably fast asleep.

OFUC is open for business … everyone is welcome …
(Apart from dragons … they make far too much mess with all of that flapping and fire breathing)

Thanks BA, that clears up everything LOL. Morning.

I think I remember someone saying to pull up the gallery, then take a screen shot. That makes sense to try so I'll give it a go later.

Today I have vids of the Javelin to make and I and Vlad are still hard at work on our Steam guide to ship building. and also another guide on Capturing Enemy ships :)

Click "Hide UI". [T]
Take a Steam screenshot. [F12] and upload to your profile. (You'll get a prompt after exiting the game.)

Thanks Grimus, that's the part I keep forgetting to do in photomode... take a screenshot of the screen shot LOL

I love that top image... The only thing missing is my horse

BTW... Do you know why a cowboy always takes their horse in the desert? It's because if you get injured a pickup truck don't come when you whistle ;-)

Thanks Grimus!

I know someone on this forum was looking at upgrading to the 5090, but I don't remember if it's in this thread. I've been warning people to skip this generation, but now we have data. The 5090 is only faster than the 4090 if you throw more voltage at it, and it's MSRP is probably going to be around $2,800. Grab those 4090 full rigs before they're gone, folks.

Also, played about 8 hours of Star Wars Outlaws over the weekend. I did have 1 CTD when driving the speeder off a cliff I wasn't aware was a cliff. There was also some broad black band artifacting in one area. Other than that, game was solid. Now, it's an Action Adventure, which are essentially 3D platformers these days, very much like Arkham or Jedi or pick 'em. It's also 3P only (unless you're crawling in vents), and the cut scenes are almost at that point where you're like, "I want to play a game, not watch a movie". Dogfights are a bit difficult so far, mostly because there's basically no tutorial. Other than those caveats, a solid pick up, especially for Star Wars fans. I actually like it better than the recent Jedi releases.

Thanks kdodds. That confirms what I gathered from my limited research. I usually try to purchase the previous generation when a new one comes out anyway but if I were to keep up to date I would be skipping the 50's.

Dang pirates are playing Hide & Seek with me.

Took a quest to destroy a Ghost II and did it, no problem, then went after the other pirate ship that was with it. So, disabled the shields and engines, docked and boarded the ship. no one on board even though they were firing on me up until I docked. Looted the ship and went back to mine, stored the loot and undocked. A voice says "We have you now." and the ship starts firing on me again.

Well, I'm not having any of that crap, so I redocked and boarded the ship again. NO ONE ON BOARD!!. Back to my ship, release and I here "You can't defeat us." and it starts firing on me again.

To Heck with this. I backed off and blasted the ship apart. Which I had intended to do after killing the crew and looting the ship anyway. Never liked that game anyhow. :steamlaughcry:

The mechanical reason is it spawned the Inaccessible version (the one that lands, drops off troops and takes back off).

Were you on the planet recently? You may not have even countered it if the Landing zone was far away and you didn't notice it.

I'd talked about it after Jensen did his thing on C3. I'd always intended to skip the 5 series and hold off for the 6s. Setting the price point on the 5070 series at under $600 while supposedly having specs to rival the 4090 got my attention. But it's all based on AI upscalling, not the board having the same horsepower.

I'm not planning on spending anything right now, but it did make me look.

If I had a dollar for everytime I thought about you...

I would definitely think about you.

Hot off the presses. This actually solves a few issues I've been head scratching about, but it uses xEdit so sack of salt time. It's a little fuzzy on which types of masters this works on.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGE-6wNxGlg

Darkfox put out a quick video detailing how to take a master and turn it back into an esp for editing, and visa versa. Interesting that it uses the current xEdit version to work, but even DF says when you're done it's best to open these one time in the CK.

Poor El... No one trusts xedit at this point.

[bLaCkShAd0w]

Something is a miss here. I've seen it stated in several places that CK will not edit .ESM files, and that you cannot set them as active files in the CK.

Well newsflash: https://imgur.com/kb0hLo1

You most definitely can. I included a statement from the "modding.wiki" saying you cannot do what I literally am doing on the left side of the screen.

.esp is absolutely useless IMO, just edit in .esm, then you can use xedit. if you want a small or medium master compact it when your finished with the file. I am not sure if this was changed at some point to allow .esm editing, but it is certainly possible.

The hydroponics mod was edited straight from .esm for nearly the whole project.

Edit: figured it out:

Install this, and never look back, edit straight from .esm
