Karandras

Please leave your suggestions, comments, questions, and anything else you can think of here (I'm sorry we are not currently accepting in-laws, little sisters, or anything else in the high annoyance category)

As some or all of you know, Yesterday Yorkmaster had the great idea that we all post our load orders and based on that we will create a listing of some of the most useful/interesting mods for Oblivion that aid in the creation of screenshots (and those that make Oblivion just that much more fun ). Below is a guide on how to get your load order so you can post here. (I'm learning how to make a tutorial, I figured this would be a good place to start )

If you use OBMM it's very easy to get your load order:

Step 1: At the main OBMM screen click on the Import/Export button:

Step 2: Click the first item on the list, View Load order:

Step 3: When you click that you get a nice window showing your load order, copy that:

Step 4: Paste that into a reply, post it, and your done:

For those that don't use OBMM, you have two options, either A: A very simple and quick download of OBMM followed by a simple install then the steps above. Or B: Opening up oblivion, go to data files, and manually write them all down (take a wild guess what one I think is better )

And there we have it, how to get your load order. See? painless!

And now, here is my current load order, I'm currently in the process of reinstalling all my favorite mods so this will get updated but for now here it is.

Edit: Another good idea from Yorkmaster, use the (codebox) (/codebox) (replace the () with [] ) to post you load order so it doesn't take up a ton of room

Please not all claims that you will win something are completely false and only existed to make people look at this thread

Okay in case you couldn't guess from the name of this topic this is simply a collection of all the thoughts and ideas bouncing around my head (that relate to Oblivion of course, I wont bore you with my Everquest 2 leveling plans).


The news post

With the intro out of the way we can get onto more important things. First and foremost the bi-weekly news post that I am now doing (The first one can be found here) Now that one was kinda short (mostly because I forgot about it till Wednesday morning ) however I would like to expand it to be larger and more detailed. For that however I am going to need a little help (Hmm where did everyone go? Strange...). What I need from you is suggestions of sections you would like to see (kinda like the Mod of the week and WiP of the week) As long as they relate to Oblivion I will be happy to give it a try at least once.

Two ideas I have had for new sections is a "Picture of the Week and section I like to call "Top 5 essential mods". The Picture of the week is fairly obvious but for the Top 5 essential mods I will be asking a random person what 5 mods they consider essential. Now, how about some ideas from you?

Another thing that was wondering about was a good name for the "_____ of the week" sections as it really is every other week so that title isn't really correct. Any ideas?

Ideas

I think for this section I will just throw a bunch of ideas out and see if any stick, enjoy

1: Recombining the Oblivion stories section with the screenshots sections so stories get more views.

2: A rewrite to the nudity rules that makes it be more uniform i.e. either both male and female nipples allowed or both must be linked. (I dislike double standards as a whole) This would need approval from K'aeloree I suspect but it would be a good idea to know what everyone thinks about it first.

3: A "How the heck was that done?" thread that would be where people could ask how a certain screenshot that caught their eye was made. Might conflict a it with the comment thread but then again it would make it easier to find that kind of thing or ask about it.

4: Merging the Comments and pictures back together. Due to everything slowing down this time of year I think this might be a good idea. Also it would help those who have slower connections that have difficulty loading pages (20 posts of pictures and comments as opposed to 20 posts of solid pictures)

4.5: Either removing or increasing the limit on full size pictures. This idea would be combined with number 4 (hence 4.5) I think they would go well together (might just be me though).


Okay thats all of those for now I might update this with more ideas later but for now that should be enough, please give your thoughts on these ideas and suggestions for the news post (it's quite hard to get an idea of what everyone thinks when only two people say anything )

Alright *prays everything works*

Woohoo! It worked! *pats self on the back* I can actually read directions

Edit 2: Forgot to mention this before but if you have any suggestions for the Released mod of the week/WiP mod of the week please let me know. The only thing I ask is that it be a mod that has either just been released or updated to a new version in the last week or two. (WiP mods are kinda open though, if its still being worked on I will take a look at it regardless of when it was first posted about)

Proof of our society's decline is that Halloween has become a broad daylight event for many. ~Robert Kirby

This thread is for all those Halloween related shots you have hanging around. This includes costumes, Pumpkins, candy (no not eyecandy (unless thats your costume ) ), ghosts, the undead, in-laws...shoot I repeated myself there again. Anyway you get the idea Oh and if you feel like it (i.e. really brave) feel free to include a shot of your real life costume for tonight

Crusader costume gone wrong



(Oh and if there is enough posts today there will be a costume contest and no I won't be the only judge )
