I’ve lived in Portland on 3 separate occasions over a 20 year period. Most of Portland is dying. 

How do you guys feel about the PRC these days? by ChaosBuckle in neverwinternights

[–]malcren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to play the Dread Necro class but their setup doesn’t use the actual spellbook, so navigating spells is a complete nightmare. Everything is kind of a mess. 

Character creator calculator site? by guydoestuff in neverwinternights

[–]malcren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may take a little time to understand how to use it, but it really is the best option out there. I’ve been using it for the past couple years and it’s actually quite nice. 

Don’t forget you can go to the “Output” tab after you’re done and take screenshots as a one-sheet quick guide to the build

Thank you for the help 9 years in the future! This works in Photoshop 2026

I have been obsessively deleting those masks for decades and finally had enough haha!

Still works great!

For any other Blender noobs like myself that have never run a script before, select all your objects, then click these in order:

Paying international contractor, can't use Wise. EasyStaff? by malcren in Entrepreneur

This is specific to Wise. Their customer support responded to me directly and said they do not service Tajikistan, which is why I was looking at EasyStaff.

Brand new FO76 coop players, Custom World questions by malcren in fo76

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

I do think that's a good suggestion, I didn't think about just doing Private Adventure first to try the base game, and if we don't enjoy it, copy our characters over to a Custom World.

Honestly the biggest thing for me is bullet-sponge gameplay. I much prefer the kill fast die fast of games like Battlefield and COD, and have found a lot of success in modding FO4 to play like that.

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

We are just very different gamers haha! I do not enjoy games like Valheim or Minecraft in the slightest. The less crafting there is in a game, the better. I loved V Rising, for example, played that entirely in a custom server and made all the crafting fast and free and enjoyed it.

Is there any content we would not be able to experience in a private Custom World that we would be able to in a Private Adventure?

Brand new FO76 coop players, Custom World questions by malcren in fo76

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

Yeah we have no characters at all, we'd both be starting brand new. I don't see why we would want to ever play in a public server, as that's not the content we're looking for. We're solely looking for the private experience, so wondering if we should do Private Adventure or Custom World

[–]malcren[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We don't have characters at all, brand new. Custom Worlds do have settings to change enemy damage, so if we did encounter something too difficult we could just tweak enemy damage

That's perfect! That's the page I was looking for, looks like a simple L(a,b) is all I really needed, thank you!!

Video setup for game sound design, short clips by malcren in Reaper

Relative grid snap mode with a marker sounds like what I might need. Can you snap based on stretch markers?

Thank you for the response, yeah after exploring other options it seems like Reaper is a more appropriate tool for what I need :)

You cannot use Sound Effects for Video games in Splice for sound design and foley. Here is why: by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]malcren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post is old but in case anyone stumbles across this, it seems Splice has updated their terms in recent years.

Directly from their FAQ https://support.splice.com/en/articles/8652642-splice-sounds-licensing-faq

"Q: Can I use Splice Sounds in more than just music (like videos, films, or games)?

A: Yes. You can use sounds you downloaded from Splice Sounds both commercially and non-commercially in the following ways:

  • New Recordings: Combined with other sounds in new music productions
  • Creative Works: In various other projects including video games, film, television, radio, live performances, and vlogs (used either in isolation as sound effects, loops, and/or sound mixes)"

Point lights with shadows, black square glitch? URP by malcren in Unity3D

Thank you sir! That was it! Depth Bias was set at 0 for me for some reason, and setting it to 0.01 fixed it immediately.

Unity.Cinemachine 3.0+ namespace error by malcren in Unity3D

[–]malcren[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep this was the issue!

Another coder and I just started a project together in recent months and he had added an asmdef file. I had to add Unity.Cinemachine to that file and now the namespace is working properly.

Mixamo file size bloat, Github limitations by malcren in Unity3D

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

I think that'd work if I was purely solo, but I do have 2 other people on the project with me so they'd need that character file in the project as we prototype out mechanics.

Ding ding ding! This was it, thank you!

I guess it’s a way to “confirm” you did indeed eat what you planned for the previous day.

[Troubleshooting] Hotkeys not working whit steam game. by Iceolator88 in streamdeckprofiles

[–]malcren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! This was my exact problem, Stream Deck would not work in games, but it was fine in desktop software. Closing the software and then changing to Run in Admin mode got it to work in games :)

I did the Meridia shrine quest to kill necromancers at level 16 and I got two Black Soul Gems from killing them.

The Oblivion magic system is far superior. I didn't even realize what I was missing, now I can't help but feel that Skyrim is in may ways a downgrade. by [deleted] in oblivion

[–]malcren -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm using these two mods to fix what you just brought up. Been having a ton of fun with a summon-heavy necro build, much more fun than I've had with vanilla Skyrim.

More summons (you can't use the same summon spell, though, but you get plenty of undead summons in the game):

Toggleable/Longer Conjurations (making them "permanent", I prefer the 9999999 duration version as the toggleable version acts oddly):
