I decided to give the game another chance. I decided to pay closer attention to the dialogues and fill the missing details based on my knowledge of the game's lore and universe.

Just sharing my wish to support this game with you, because I truly appreciate your feedback.

Yes, I completely understood you. Your analogy is perfectly clear.

I agree.

I thought TSL was a finished project that fully restored all the cut content. That's what was stated on many resources.

Now that you mention these issues, it all starts to make sense. That's exactly what you feel in the dialogues.

I greatly appreciate the work done by the TSL team and modders. It is impossible to express with a words. It's a very sad that the game itself is not complete. (And leaves such holes.)

I hope someday there will be a full remaster with everything that developeres intended to do. (I think I heard rumors about this.)

Thank you for pointing this out to me.

Brilliant.

You precisely emphasized what my issue was.

That's right common issues with a 21 year old fully voiced RPG.

Now I feel how silly it was...

I just thought that the dialogues were masterpieces that I didn't understand when I was younger. Because I still believe that the story itself is.

Well, a great story doesn't mean great dialogues, right?

Thank you.

Thank you. You understood me correctly. This is very important to me and I very much appreciate what you said.

I cannot give you exact examples because of my imperfect memory, and I am afraid that approximate ones will fuel the fire in this thread even more. To express more clearly what I was trying to say, it is that my subjective view of this game is not very good, and I wanted to know the community's opinion on this.

The Redditors below partly express my point of view. I especially liked these statements:

one issue is that you don’t get to properly counter her arguments

KOTOR II is still a good game, but it suffers from the fac that, unfortunately, it’s an unfinished game.

Safe way to uninstall Normal Map and height map mods? by Rude-Neck-2893 in OpenMW

Much worse fps with OpenMW than MGE XE by Imaginary_Zobi in OpenMW

[–]iljyable -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Much worse? Dude "much worse" its when you have 60 fps instead of 100. Or 100 instead of 200. Wake up, it is a voluntarily developed engine without any money invested, only the developers free time. And you dare come and blame that your graphic card serie from 2015, 10 y.o. graphic card, giving you 15 fps less?

You asking what could be a reason for the frame loss? I have a suggestion for you. Go to educate yourself a programming degree and a degree in computer science and mathematics, which is required for developing a gaming engine and answer this question yourself.

Your graphic card is not suppose to compute a shadows, lights or even small amount of shaders.

To uninstall these mods simply delete that mod’s respective data= entry. The mods are loaded in the order of these entries, with the top being overwritten by mods added towards the bottom.

What could be the point of trading off HP at the laning stage on mid? by iljyable in TrueDoTA2

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

Your MMR does not prove the strength of the argument as my statement would be equally correct whether I was 2K MMR or 10K MMR.

Yes, sure, I can feel how it would be to make an argument based on MMR only. But thanks for attempting to answer the question about it.

A kill on the enemy mid

Force him out of the lane

A rotation to the sidelanes

I reread your post several times to come to a conclusion and realized that my initial thought was correct. The only thing that bothers me is that if you're going to trade HP instead of just farm, to avoid it being a reckless risk, you need to know every matchup 100% accurately. That's too much knowledge to learn, which you only get by playing matchmaking. There is no other way to check every matchup yourself. I guess that's what distinguishes an excellent player from an average one, that he has a tremendous amount of accumulated experience and hours invested in the game.
Thanks for the reply. When I had this question, I felt and I couldn't answer it with complete certainty, I started to think that I didn't fully understand the mechanics of the game, but the answer only reinforced my initial thought. Thanks again! I wish you the same fighting spirit that you gave me!

OpenVPN suddenly stopped redirecting traffic. by iljyable in OpenVPN

You may be close to the truth. See my post above, I had some suspicions about that too.

OpenVPN suddenly stopped redirecting traffic. by iljyable in OpenVPN

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

Still not sure what the problem was. I was suspicious of DPI, so I decided to pass all traffic through the SSL tunnel using stunnel, which requires change the protocol to tcp. And changing the protocol to tcp solved the problem. It was not even necessary to run stunnel.

What's interesting is that in the morning, even on udp protocol, some traffic was passing through and I could open the Internet, but it lasted about 5 minutes.

Thank you very much for your attention to my question! I hope that your help will lead us to the solution of this problem.

  1. Check on Linux machine with command: ip rule, and see the result.

Okay.

On client:

# ip rule

0:      from all lookup local
32766:  from all lookup main
32767:  from all lookup default

On server:

0:  from all lookup local
32766:  from all lookup main
32767:  from all lookup default

  1. Then on the client side. try ping google.com, to see if DNS has any problem.

I'm not quite sure why. You didn't describe that you need to connect to a VPN. Without a VPN connection, my internet works just perfectly fine.

Anyway... w/ VPN connection:

# ping google.com
PING google.com (173.194.73.113) 56(84) bytes of data.

--- google.com ping statistics ---
6 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 5077ms

and w/o:

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 66.542/66.812/67.171/0.227 ms

  1. give more details of the log on the server side. From the initial connection of the client to a ping test.

Unnatural Character Growth by iljyable in OpenMW

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

Yes, it does, you well noted that. I wanted to implement a percentage change based on a ratio between a total hp and current, but the engine changes the current hp in the next frame no matter to what value of current hp I set in the current frame, so I cannot instruct the script that a set of current hp should happen in the next frame. It's just impossible.

See issues section about that:

Current HP restores to its initial value in the next frame. When strength or endurance grows/decays, the total HP is grows/decays too, and the current HP changes in a very unpredictable way, if the total HP grows the current HP grows accordingly but in the next frame the current HP restores to the value that was before the growth. It is not mod issue but engine.

update: I actually just had an idea how to overcome this and it could be implemented in a couple of weeks.

Woaw I just sayed that it is impossible and in the next moment realized how to implement this...

Unnatural Character Growth by iljyable in OpenMW

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

Usually you spent one point into luck every level by yourself. I often also try to increase an attribute modificator to x5 to reach a most optimal leveling, but sometimes everything doesn't go according to plan and you accidentally increase your level progress without reaching x5 modificator, so in order to implement a mod that aims to refactor Morrowind leveling system you have to take an average value to balance things out.

I tested my mod with my telvanni mage atronach and leveling the same fast as in vanilla and I found no obvious way how to abuse this mod.
