Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Ramuh minion isn't just a floating beard of hatred :/ disappointed...

You shall die a slow, maple syrup-filled death.

Moron did that to us when we just started the map, blocking us from getting out of our spawn and the other team beat us to the objective point we were supposed to fight over (meaning they took it over fully so taking it back takes a lot longer)

Any comic nerds around?

I watched Deadpool, which is mostly what I know about him and I was wondering... Does he still have the cancer?

Since I've been talking about bethesda modding a lot lately I thought I'd shed a little insight on the process of what it takes to create and implement a new piece of clothing or armor into the game. This doesn't include the hours of work spent creating the model, rigging the model, adding weights and bone details to the model, texturing the model (specular, normal, and diffuse maps all required), etc., just the part that I do for her.

Helping le girlfriend get some of her outfit into Fallout 4. Been working on it most of the day. Have to assign all of the technical values to the nif (which basically is bethesda's way of combining the mesh, the textures, and the material files) to make it functional in game and act properly. Has to be done for both genders and for the world object version (the one that you'd see sitting on a shelf). Here's the process for one of the easier to implement pieces: a hat.



The process starts by assigning branches and texture/material data to the mesh. This is what it looks like after the branches are put in.



Then I need to assign material and texture data to the mesh. Material information is stored in a .bgsm file which is created using the three texture files related to the mesh.



Once the material file is generated, I have to point the nif to it in the game's data files.



Texture data then needs to be assigned to the mesh, much the same way as the material data is assigned. Since this is a test, we're missing normal and specular maps. They'll be added after testing.



Next we have to go into the creation kit and create item data so that we can put it in the game. First, I have to create a new form ID so that the new hat doesn't overwrite an existing one. This is where the world model data and stats are added.



After that, I have to create the AA entry so that the game has somewhere to look for the worn model and slot data.



Finally, we can add a container to the game to put the hat into so we can test it in the game.


Now we can go to the location of that safe I placed in-game and retrieve the hat..



All looks good so far. What's the world object look like?



That's not quite right... how about the equipped piece?



Huh... back to the drawing board.

Dude, just take someone else's beanie, recolor the texture and upload it! It's not like they made Fallout 4, they don't have any copyright over it.

So I assume he still has it.

So, is watching Deadpool worth it?

Deadpool is great.

It was good even for a person who isn't into comics.

I keep hearing it's good.

I might get it tomorrow to watch.

If you don't like to laugh, don't watch Deadpool.

It's amazing, some naughty humor but even I laughed at 99% of the movie.

Iirc in the comics he's granted Wolverine's healing factor, as are all of the Weapon X squad, but it causes his cancer to mutate into a very aggressive form of super regenerative cancer. Basically he gets a better healing factor than Wolverine, but since his cells regenerate as super healy cancer cells, he doesn't heal all smooth like Wolverine.

Grilling steaks and lobster tails. Lots of food and booze. Feel free to stop by.

I hope someone sat on it, and that the screen cracked.

Playing some overwatch with AI while I fiddle with mouse sensativity. I like how they drop in and out sometimes, like players actually leaving and whatnot.

Also it seems like I get normal XP from it.
