So it's not my fault I didn't know about it, when it's not available at all. I was using Swiveller's and AOF's textures all the time and considered those to be the best which you can get. All my friends use those.

no worries, alot of people around here will talk about connary but its nice remember that there are others out their who do just as good work (if not better). You might want to take a look at connarys stuff and then (IF YOU CAN GET THE MODULE FORM) mix and match it with swivellers and AOF's. Its entierly up to you. Just dont be svcked into the cult

It's just a mod. The unique thing about it is that no matter how many spam threads you start about it, they will never get locked...

Edit: ninja'd by MA...twice...

That's because a new one will appear soon enough such that you don't have to worry about locking, as it will fall away as the latest and greatest one takes over.

Finding the non-bsa version of Connary's work isn't as difficult as Midgetallen suggests. Most of his stuff is considered quite good by a good chunk of this community. I use most of what he did, save a few choice items.

I agree that it is 'quite good' but there are many awesome texturers on this forum and I don't see an endless amount of threads about their work... well, I saw one, but it got locked because it wasn't about connary...

Firstly - the latest and greatest? Oh come on! Not all of it is that great, most of it is good. Like I've said a million times I am not against his work but why this cult gathering? It isolates other modders and makes their work seem insignificant even though the same ammount of hard work has gone in.

Secondly - "not as difficult as Midgetalien suggest" - well then mr I love connary so much I cant link to the modular version - link please? that isnt in russian?

Thirdly - "most of his stuff...." so you agree not all of it is good work. So why the BSA and not modular? "Good chunk of this community" - I doubt that. Dont try to presume what the community is and isnt/does and doesnt use. You dont speak for the community so stop acting like you do.

Finally - "I use most of what he did, save a few choice items" - I only want to use a few choice items, so I cant understand why the "chunk" of the cultists cant upload the mod in modular form instead presuming everyone likes the textures as you posted above ( "considered quite good by a good chunk of this community")


so yeah, stop being a pompus drooler and please post logical, respectful posts that dont come across as though your the heir to the friggin golden arc.

sorry pluto - seemed you posts might have gotten lost in the thread. I will download and check it out. Hopefully (fingers crossed) its waht I am after.
Thanks for the links

methinks somebody missed the joke in my post and over-reacted a bit.



edit - seems like Pluto has provided the link.


I'm not quite sure where your anger is coming from. There's no cult and I've only been on this forum about, oh, 5 weeks. But your assumptions about me are quite erroneous and I'll leave it at that. As far as your comments about the community, do a little search and you'll discover how many Connary threads there are/have been. Simply based on the ridiculous number that have happened since I've been paying attention, I'd say his work is well-appreciated by quite a few folks, but that's just my opinion.

Thanks a lot Pluto, I didn't knew about these ones. :goodjob:

Mabe I should add my thoughts, I wish I had gotten here to see this earlier, I already knew about the russian site that has all of his stuff in packs, I never mentioned it though. It always suprised me that hardly anyone finds those however as it didnt take me long with google to find it.
Anyway, aside from that, there is a reason I wanted his textures in packs which is the same as midge here. Not all of his previous textures are as good of quality as some today. I spent quite a bit of time going through every texture replacer I could find for MW(I look back at that and wonder if I am nuts, it took quite a bit of time, quite a bit indeed) Anyway, I have found that out of the close to 1000 textures he made, there are only close to 600 that I actually use as the others have been out done by other textures. I do not use his daedric textures as I dont really like their style very much.(looks too much like they were built by men and not daedra)

Yes his textures are good, but they are also several years old now.

Hey, good point there.

I want to point out that using that Search bar, searching for Connary, 7th post down (post by BTB), 7th and 9th posts of that post link to exactly what Pluto linked here. Had you used the search bar like I did 2 weeks ago, you'd have found your answer.

Please don't be rude, dude. Especially when you didn't spend any time at all looking for what you wanted before doing exactly what you moan about (lots of Connary threads being started). I fail to see the point in calm discourse with you though, so I'll leave it at that.

Funny you should mention that...

Those are, like, the *one* part of his textures I don't like over MVP. But then I manually overrode Connary's with MVP's and found that MVP's suddenly looked *really* out of place.

I'm surprised at this kind of posting coming from you, midge. It's poor form to ask for a link to a modders work, just to slam the work for several posts afterward. As for all the effort it will take you to cherry pick whichever of his textures you like - I imagine it'll be less effort than what Connary put in to create and upload those textures for us in the first place. Its important to remember that Connary didn't ask for his 'cult' - and all the aggressive posting appears to wind up attacking Connary himself - which I assume wasn't your intention? Let's not resent a modder just because he has many vocal fans - I like to think this forum is less mean-spirited than that.

:foodndrink:

Buddy, this isnt really aggressive posting or is just getting there, so far I have seen people state their points in a strong way; but aggressively, not really on midge's part. As for slamming, haven seen that either, just facts stated. All I have seen stated is that he doesnt like certain textures that Connary has made, this does not equal an attack on the person nor does saying he has a cult following(which judging by some of the posts here I would say is very true). If you can show me where I missed someone attacking connary, then by all means go right ahead.

you missed the post that has been removed I suspect in relation to aggressive posting. It didn't attack Connary though.

That may be a possiblity then.

you mean the post that was aimed at you and not at connary or his wotk?

I've agreed to be civil on the matter, as I was extremly annoyed yesterday. SO I will make this quick, short and sweet - Drop the matter. All of you.

Whats been done has been done, whats been said has been said. I did not attack connary or his work. I was merely pushed and prodded to which I responded.

ONE post does not justify me as an agressive poster - so I will just ignore that comment.

Jaredh I'd like to apologise to you - should have handled myself a bit better than I did.

Accepted and lets move on. I hope you are able to get the textures out of the links that you want.

I'm also a bit surprised at the tone of this thread-- it takes literally seconds to unpack a BSA, and if you don't like parts of a modder's work (ANY modder, mind you), it's on you as the user to sort through it. It shouldn't be the modder's job to provide a million different packs for everyone's personal tastes, especially when he has stated that he doesn't even like the work in question.

Complaining that somebody chose to pack the textures into a BSA is as petty as complaining that they chose the .RAR format over .ZIP.

I think that Connary's work gets a lot more attention on these forums because his is one of the most popular near-comprehensive packs that isn't available through normal channels. The main way to get it is by request, which means we're probably going to see one of these threads every time somebody wants his old work. And as for the rest of the threads, his compendium looks to be amazingly high qualtity, and it's comprehensive, which nearly no other texture pack can claim. It's not surprising that the project has developed a following.

What is wrong with the conventional method of using the search function or the Mod Detectives thread?

Nothing is wrong with those methods for those who know to use them, I'm simply pointing out that the vast majority of users don't use the search function for any purpose, and the Mod Detectives thread is a bit obscure, so most casual users will probably find it more convenient to simply post their own thread (in the same way that people make threads asking specific questions about a mod instead of going to that mod's official thread). I'm not saying that's how it necessarily should be, just noting that that's how it is.

You know, I feel bad about bumping this back up again. Ah well. There's nothing wrong with request threads, but this one spiraled bizarrely out of control. His textures are great, but connary himself would never consider them irreplaceable, or he wouldn't be in the process of replacing them all. I absoIutely love his stuff and will recommend it to everyone, but I am constantly looking for and adding textures that I prefer, as well as tweaking the existing ones. really doubt he wants anyone to be defending them against "attacks", whether real or imagined. So, as MA says, let's just drop it... and hope connary pops up with screenshots in the other thread again eh? *chuckle*
