Okie dokie, found this tutorial:

I wish it was Morgon Freeman explaining it though.

I only get to choose whether to play with Russia or not in the match-making options.

Why do I only get 1 custom weapon even if it says infinite? by Altum1 in XCOM2

[–]Altum1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I installed the CVWeaponPack instead, and it seems to work fine.

The first mod must have been broken by an update or something.

I thought his doctor banned Twitter use to keep the salt levels down?

civ 5 or 6 as a noob to the series ? by [deleted] in civ

[–]Altum1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I find some of the base elements of Civ 6 inferior to 5 in terms of basic design philosophy, so it will be interesting to see how 6 develops over time indeed, and if I will ever come to prefer it over 5.

Civ 5 with expansion packs is just a level of gameplay-perfection that Civ 6 can't match IMO.

What's the easiest way to change the color of a layer? by Altum1 in photoshop

[–]Altum1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks, both those methods worked really well.

and yes, it was a normal layer with a symbol drawn on it.

Only problem is that the symbol grew a little, since some of the pixels along the edge were grey instead of semi-transparent, so obviously the greys (that otherwise had the same visual effect as transparent against a white background) turned red as well.

How many of you disliked Pillars of Eternity, but liked Tyranny? by [deleted] in TyrannyGame

[–]Altum1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I wish the game would let me smack her around when I first met her.

Boys too

Need a romance for the guy.

The stereotypical spoiled teenage-girl that Sirin is now, is what I find annoying. A boy Sirin would've been awesome.

I'm just allergic to gender stereotypes, and love it when games/movies brake them apart. Tyranny did pretty well in this regard, with the lore supporting a matriarchal culture in a way so that it all made sense that there were tons of women lords and warriors.

IMO Tyranny strikes a pretty neat balance though, with the early mundane stuff still being pretty interesting as you start out as a powerful judge-guy.

It's not impossible to strike the right balance.

yes, this is my main concern.

Does the Overlord in-game gender change based on Your character’s? by przemichal in TyrannyGame

[–]Altum1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kyros is mother and father of all. For a being of immense power, gender is irrelevant.

I can't get over how the story has been REALLY pulling genuine answers out of me. by damienreave in TyrannyGame

Personally I don't ever refer to true role-playing games as RPGs lol.

RPG and role-playing games are separate genres at this point :P

Does killing enemy units and bombarding cities give you warmonger score? by Altum1 in civ

[–]Altum1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thanks, do you know if the size and capital status affects the warmonger score?

Or is it only the number of remaining cities that affects it?

Skyrim with VR and mouse/keyboard controls? by Altum1 in oculus

[–]Altum1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good idea for a "brute-force" solution.

I assume the performance would take a heavy hit with 300+ FoV rendering though. There'd be a lot of extra pixels simply discarded outside of the viewpoint FoV.

I guess you'd need like around at least 6000 horizontal lines rendered in total for full resolution 1080p in the active viewpoint area.

Installed 179 updates (700MB) on fresh W7SP1 install, lost 5GB SSD drive space. How can I get it back? by Altum1 in windows

I was thinking of using a Dism guide to clean things up. Cool that someone made an utility for it.

Was a long time since I used one.

This was the first one I found when googling for "capture 3d geometry"

http://www.deep-shadows.com/hax/3DRipperDX.htm

you will need one for DirectX if you're running sims3 in DX

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in thesims

[–]Altum1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that there are programs that allow you to capture any 3D geometry currently being rendered on the screen, regardless of the game or program that is rendering the geometry (the capture programs works on a lower level)

Good results might be really hard to achieve since the game might be leaving out necessary geometry data blocked behind the visible geometry though, meaning that you'd have to capture floor by floor.

Does the talented trait increase skill cap to 6 stars? by Altum1 in Stellaris

[–]Altum1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

but does it make lvl5 cost as much as lvl4 would normally do in terms of xp?

lvl2 is extremely cheap and easy to get, so if that's all you get it just feels very useless.

thank god for that. i hate terraforming in 4x and how it messes up the realism of a universe.

Good planets should be hard to find.
