  1. It's been 20+ years since I did any fancy batch file writing and I have no idea how to do this anymore. My original goal was to display a random painting every time I enter a cell. Doing it in CK will consume ridiculous amount of time for me to learn how to do it so I had another idea. A batch file renaming from a random selection of DDS texture to the one linked to the painting's nif. I won't have a new painting every time in a cell but will have one every time I launch Skyrim. So here is the logic: >>> goto folder \textures\randomPaintings\ (this will contain all the candidate DDS files. the actual DDS linked to the nif is target.DDS. All other DDS files have names in 1.DDS, 2.DDS etc). Say there are 11 files in the directory (target.DDS + 10 other DDS files from 1 to 10) t = a random number from 1 to 10 rename target.DDS to target.DDS.tmp rename t.DDS to target.DDS rename target.DDS.tmp to t.DDS end >>> I want to combine and run this before SKSE64 in a single batch file. Thanks EDIT: Never mind, I guess batch file it's kinda like riding a bicycle. Here is the sample code in case anyone wants to try: >>> @ECHO OFF chdir /d "D:\\z" SET /a _rand=(%RANDOM%*5/32768)+1 ECHO Random number %_rand% rename 0.txt 0.%_rand% rename %_rand%.txt 0.txt rename 0.%_rand% %_rand%.txt >>> In this example there are 6 txt files in the folder d:\z going from 0.txt, 1.txt etc to 5.txt
  2. Back at you, only your opinions are the Truth and if you said something is shit it must be.
  3. Well, I had my doubts of ME being FPS after hearing about all the deviations from DA:O and got it only very, very late after it was released. It turned out OK and ME2 was one of the best games I've played. It's the execution and not the concept that mattered. Saw a follow-up interview on CDPR forum on FPP. It sounds like instead of having TPP/FPP switching as a player action they decided that the game is better off the switching being at the director's discretion. Like I said, in some situations FPP is superior and others TPP is so without knowing how the game weaves its narratives and interacts with the world it's all back to CDPR's execution. The shit storm is getting ridiculous. It's not like CDPR took crowdfunding money or pissed on some cherished existing IP. If it's good, buy it, if not, move on.
  4. Fanboys defend bad product AFTER launch even when facts are evident. Fanboyism lack intelligence but making conclusions before the fact and without proper analysis other than stroking your own ego is just flip side of the coin. The only reason a game cannot do TPP is if the developer did not create an in-game player model. All evidence so far point to CP2077 has player model(s). FPP is superior to TPP in certain situations and vice versa. To conclude this game is a piece of shit because most of what has been shown so far, which is nothing but bits, is FPP is illogical and implying those who think otherwise are inferior in intelligence is dickish. That Kingdom Come: Deliverance did not launch with TPP is clearly for cost reason, not because the developers think it makes the game "better" and certainly not for technical reason because player model exists. All reviews said the game shows evidence of being rushed. A mod has already enabled TPP and if the developer chose not to included it in subsequent patches then we can accuse Warhorse for being obtuse but so far their crime is an incomplete game. I don't have Kingdom Come: Deliverance but in 40+ years almost every games I've enjoyed are neither perfect nor complete.
  5. The second post of that polling discussion on CDPR says it all. What's the point of customizing your character's appearance if the game is in FPP? Real RPG must have TPP with FPP optional during combat or conversation. But honestly I am pretty sure the game will have TPP. From what I read the demo was to showoff the game's combat mechanics so make sense FPP was the preferred POV.
  6. Maybe it's just me but that girl holding a pistol by the window is probably the most feminine video game character I've ever seen. Man, I really hope there is full modding support for adult mods.
  7. Depends on Starfield. If Starfield is done for 11/11/19 then Tes6 for 11/11/21 for 10th year anniversary of Skyrim. If Starfield delays to 11/11/20 then Tes6 gets push back to 2022.
  8. How many trailers did TW3 have? I am sure CDPR will show the dark side in the next trailer.
  9. That's what I am hoping, fully supported modding. The models in Wolfenstein 2 are not bad in terms of details because idTech is not duct tapped together like Gambryo in Skyrim/FO4 but I want adult mods in CP2077.
  10. I figure the world has your standard upstairs-downstairs class segregation but I think the knock is that the trailer did not show enough of a contrast. Looking at Starfield and ES6 teasers it looks like Bethesda may have finally switched to idTech. I hope CP2077 has full mod support. With Bethesda switching to a new engine this is the best time for CDPR to win over the modding community as both sides could be starting anew.
  11. Yep, in addition to the world being colorful and bright the buildings and streets are also too clean to be "the worst city to live in the United States". Strange because that's not the case in the first trailer. Cleanliness and superficial order can totally work with dystopia but not with gangs in punk outfits running around. With CDPR's reputation it's probably just a poorly directed trailer.
  12. There is an article on pcgamer saying the same: https://www.pcgamer.com/william-gibson-doesnt-think-cyberpunk-2077-is-cyberpunk-enough/ My first impression is the about same as you and him. I thought it's Mass Effect's Sheapard in GTA It's the lighting IMO, too sunny and bright. However, I tried to think at every cyberpunk movie that got the "look" right and everyone sucked except the original Blade Runner. It's easy to change the lighting and weather and I am sure CDPR got the message but it's hard to get the story and character right.
  13. Make sense. It's mostly an office comedy and not the typical Anime exports. 70% of my Netflix "watching" is background noise and most of that is from the Netflix Originals the service crammed on my recommended list. The "hit-ratio" that Netflix executives keep bragging about of its Originals is a mirage.
  14. Just caught it on Netflix. It's Japanese office comedy dressed in the famed Sanrio cuteness. Humor is a lot sharper in the beginning of the season but got formulaic toward the end.
  15. It makes zero sense to license a tabletop RPG and then turn it into a FPS. You can save yourself a lot of money and fan backlash by just recycle meh settings and characters of typical MOBA if that's the game your are making. If you want a built-in fan base for another generic FPS "storytelling" then you want an IP with mass audience awareness and not a small niche tabletop RPG. The more I read about CP2077 the more I am convinced technically it's similar to GTA5/online but a RPG. The concept is nothing new. Bioware wanted to go that direction before they cashed out their souls to EA. Bethesda "said" that's what they wanted to make but they didn't have the guts or the talent to pull it off so instead they did TES Online and a crippled FO4. Nintendo finally pulled it off with the new Zelda. It will be interesting to see what Rockstar has done with Red Dead Redemption 2. Does it advance the fusion of single player RPG and open world sandbox or is it a reskin of GTA5?
  16. About the fighting monk in Rogue One. C'mon you don't expect Donnie Yen not kung fu fighting in a Hollywood movie now? He ticks two boxes: the China market and a stereotype that invokes Jedi in a Star Wars movie without actual Jedi.
  17. If you are starving for more Lost like shows then this is probably not a waste of time. Just don't expect anything resembling what attracted people to love the original Lost in Space and its source material Swiss Family Robinson.
  18. This is likely going to be a short thread. It's pretty obvious this show never intended to do "Lost in Space" but a money grab of doing "Lost" in space.
  19. Watched a couple more episodes of the new Lost in Space since. Other than characters' names and the catchphrase it has zero resemblance to the original. It's basically the same show as the very derivative Terra Nova in theme and quality with a splash of SJW on top. Yeah the Guinevere role put me off the Merlin show for a long time. I am not invulnerable to my own prejudice. I recently caught it on Netflix as background noise initially and was not bothered by it much. Her casting was clearly for PC reason but the show had almost zero reference to the Arthurian legend in British identity and is very much a generic disposable fantasy. With such low bar frankly they can colorblind cast anyone for that show and wouldn't tilt the balance for me. BBC has done far worst SJW shows. Torch Light just to name one. SJW made that show unwatchable. I was actually looking forward to the new Doctor, mostly for finally no more Steven Moffat than seeing the first female Doctor. I caught some of Joide Whittaker's works since and like the actress. As a Yank I was never a Doctor fan and only started because of David Tennant. I don't get the hate against black Storm Troopers. In all the years I've watched Star Wars there was no point I thought Storm Troopers or the Empire are racial. The Nazi reference is obvious in the imagery but within the stories it's always obvious to me that the Sith vs. Jedi struggle is about power and not something superficial about the skin color of a single specie among many in the galaxy. I am not a fan of JJ Abrams but I like seeing a female Jedi protagonist. I love Bastila in KOTOR. Too bad Rey is not a very good character.
  20. I was being sarcastic of the Hollywood racial hypocrisy. Asian males cannot be sexual is the flip side of the Suzie Wong racist casting practice which lasted all the way into the 90s. Asian male stereotype lasted even longer and some might say still lingers today in casting decisions.
  21. I think the update does need more diversity from the original but having a black Judy in the very, very white Robinson family cast is just as hypocritical as making Sue Storm adopted in the black Storm family that killed the F4 franchise. I can totally see the bullshit Hollywood decision process. They can't make Dr. Smith black because he's the main bad guy disregarding that it is actually the best role in the show. They can't make the Robinsons black or a mixed race couple because Netflix needs a majority white cast for the international markets where black actors don't draw as well in Europe and Asia. They could make the male stud black but they also need to fill a non-black non-white quota so the male stud is now Hispanic because Asian males cannot be studs. That leaves with the F4 option of making one of the Robinson children not blood related. Of course non-related families can be closer than blood families but that requires a shit load of expositions. There are shows that have done well in this regard but those shows build around that families are more than blood as a core theme. Three episodes in it's pretty clear that the perfect daughter Judy Robinson being a different race is not a creative choice. Like F4 it's a big red herring indicative of the quality of writing going forward. Also, is it just me or that male characters are intentionally written as simple minded muscles? So far only females are intelligent, thoughtful and authoritative.
  22. Coming from real experience a simulation game of stocking store shelves will be far more challenging than a PC building sim, and neither is worth doing unless you are getting paid.
  23. So EA has been paying attention to the business models of Patreon game developers In business school they call it pivoting to SaaS.
  24. I actually have a different take to this news. EA didn't go all in with MTX because they are evil, they are but it's because MTX business model (addiction and extraction) has much better return on capital than the content business model. It seems that CDPR as a listed public company is under pressure from shareholders to maximize profits. CDPR founders might be fine of not to chase profits right now but things could change. If you look at recent financial performances of long established public game companies, those that prosper are all big in MTX while those that whither tend to have stick with the content business model. Nintendo and CDPR are the two exceptions. CDPR is new but Nintendo was struggling for many years until the new Zelda. Without regulation digital addiction based profit models will only get more prevalent with technological advances.
  25. It's easy to be open and frank when the community is small but drama is inevitable in any discussion, and worse when money is in the mix. How to manage drama is the biggest challenge for any moderator, online or offline, big community or small. Nexus was already commercial when I started modding but in my limited experience LL wasn't like that until it changed its stance on money in modding and then refused to write new rules. This started an escalation of drama and like Nexus the moderators resorted to the easy way out by using censorship. Censorship is easy and effective in controlling speech or "drama" and just like everyone who's ever in power once LL moderators went down that road there is no stopping. Whereas moderators used to locked threads for lack of civility or clear rule breaking now they just delete posts they don't like in the name of "drama". In essence they stopped being moderators. Something to keep in mind if nsfwmods ever become a big success.
