Right, I thought I might have mis-read that. For what it's worth, you're a lot easier to understand these days. But I still have trouble reading your posts, sometimes, sorry.

Anyways, don't pay attention to the haters, ignoring your detractors makes life a lot easier.

Yes, ignore the hate. We all love you Connary hence why there are so many pages here since you returned from Oblivion (not the game...) I am very intrigued by your textures and will only use your textures for my own game. I hope to one day have a fully enhanced version of Morrowind with your textures replacing Bethesda's because yours stay so true to what Morrowind should be. Keep up the great work, I know it takes time there is nothing quite like trying to work on three separate province mods to make you realize that getting something worthwhile done takes time.

BTW...Today is me Birfday

Well, Happy Birthday, SamirA!
Here, have a http://secondhandsewn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/funny-pictures-cat-wants-thumbs-for-his-birthday.jpg

With Connary's textures, there is no reason why you'd want to ever exit the game, so the option was simply removed.

I didn't even notice that.

I have to second much of what was said here. In our german forums the modders stand behind you and can understand why you don't want to release in public. This is okay for us because we all read the special commentarys in german and english.
one thing i will never understand: they write hate mails and commentarys how we are whining and that we are all idions and cry babies BUT LONGING DESPERATELY FOR OUR WORK! (what the reason is why they write hate mails because the work was - in that shape - taken down). it's only fair to keep it away from them, if that's their way to thank you. :flamethrower:

I would like to say that you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than Youtube. Trolls abound, and most people on there, that bother commenting, seem to be idiots who don't understand anything. I'm fine with the decision to keep your mods private, but I will tell you that the intelligent fandom would rejoice if you decided to release it publicly. Your textures are awesome!

I remember the days after Oblivion was released and a whole lot of new members joined. Most of them were immature kids posting the same name your top mods, where is the nvde mod etc. Bethesda also changed the open nature of these forums by removing any links to BB and any material they considered unproper. Most of the best modders and members left for a long time, and some for good, because of the wanton trolling and sheer amount of nastyness theses new kids brought. Most of the modders left for the same reason Connary is not willing to share his hard work, because they began to question the reasons on why would they share anything with ungrateful trolls. It was particulary painful with Faces of Vaardenfell where several trollies acused Gorg of switching headpacks from other modders with his. In the end it left such a sour test in most of our mouths that Gorg eventually left....
Perhaps the idea is that if you dont like what you are hearing, then change the conversation....if Connary doesnt want to share with with everybody perhaps the idea he previously had of opening his own forum for showcasing his own ideas and sharing with his comunnity would be best

I just want to say "thank you" to connary and all the other modders out there, which allow me to play my most favored game of all time in such brilliant quality.
You are truly awesome!

There is one thing I have to say to what Connary wants to do: If there is one thing I am for, its free will and doing what you want, that is sort of an over-riding ideal of mine. If he wishes to withhold his mod from people, then I support that because that is what he wishes to do. Only giving it to certain people would make it coveted though, akin to getting an award of some sort.

Connary, from what I am reading, is it correct to assume you want to share you mod with certain active modders in the community? Someone has to do some good modding work before being a recipient of your textures? as I understand it right now, or however you decide to give the pack to people. I know one thing, certain people who do alot of modding work would certainly understand various things. I havent done tons of modding work for this game yet, but I have done work for other stuff and like you said earlier, you dont do it so the game can live, you do it because its something you like doing. The work I do for the other game I basically keep to myself(I do show to a few friends though), I do it because I like to, not for anyone else. Although I have to say that in contrast, the work I do for MW(what I have done so far) I like doing for others, not just for myself.

Connary, your english isnt that poor, its ok, better then some people who are born in an english speaking country. On a funny note, I have talked with many people around the world, and its always the ones who are at least ok with english who are humble about it, while its the ones who act like idiots that think they can speak it well when they actually cant. hah

Gilboron, That image was rally funny XD.

Thanks to all those that are supporting me. Tarius first of all, thanks for your kind words about my english. I cant trust you but thanks, LOL.

Then, trying to answer your question:

Never, never I will do a hunting of sorceresses or a blacklisting. In no way I will start to put labels to every people granting or denying access to the mod. It dont will have any relation with the amount of mods released or other similar consideration.

The situation is this, I have right now two strong feelings fighting inside me.

In one side, an EXTRAORDINARY REJECTION to all that mass of bad-mannered players who demand?? their access to any mod and in whose hands the work integrity runs serious risks. I basically don't want to share nothing with this amorphous mass. For the worse the trend RPG pages all around has giving support to a project that feed the trolls without take seriously any time to get real information about what was happening. Modders don't deserve any respect, it seems, from pages that must be supportive with one of the most active and important RPG community. Then a third fabulous corner in a preposterous triangle, it seems Beth thinks that owns every material created for his game, great. Fairly evident, they don't own at all material made by other people but this public position ( this info comes from other respected modders in this forums that spoke directly with Beth heads years ago) talks a lot about the consideration of modding in general. I'm out.

In the other side, I share a passion with tons of kind people, supportive, friendly, I feel an ENORMOUS GRATITUDE AND EMOTIONAL CONNECTION with people here and i want to obtain some tools that helps me to create a controlled uploading in a controlled environment. This is a energy svcker for me in this moment. I will try my best but i cant promise nothing.


But please to all people don't start a questioning about who will have or don't have access in the future to the mod. The door would not have to be so small.

Okay, so let's all stop wasting pages in this thread. *chuckle* Seriously, it's up to page seven already. As for the Bethesda thing, that may be their position, but it doesn't seem like it would stand up. A uniquely crafted image converted to Microsoft's .dds file format becoming the property of Bethesda simply because it has been renamed to have the same filename as one of Bethesda's vanilla Morrowind tga's? Unlikely. And as Ronin29 says, they have never "pushed" that rather obscure position. But, if it really bothers you simply on principle, you could just release your tweaked meshes (which are presumably still Bethesda's) and share your textures seperately as a piece of artwork not specifically intended for Morrowind. Hell, I'll rename them for use in game myself if I have to, which would remove the last tenuous link to Morrowind itself.

:hugs:



I guess I've missed something: Where are people trolling your topics?

Hey!
Connary has returned...and with a new avatar!
After catching up in the thread I have to report, I am an avid Redditor {user of the Reddit website} Which is where the 2011 Morrowind mod guy got started. Don't let this shortsighted idiot get you wonderful modders down [especially you Connary] a new military themed FPS shooter will come out and all these self righteous goons will go back to Xbox live and spend the remainder of their puberty talking tough and shooting brown people in hyper-real 3d!

I have waited for a long time {now going on 4 years I think?} to experience Morrowind through the wonderful eyes of Connary's amazing imagination. And if I have to go through a couple of hoops to assure Connary of my respect for his creation, so be it.

I want to see this Mod finished so I can have what will be, in my opinion, the DEFINITIVE Morrowind look and feel. I trust you Connary, good Sir, and I hope you realize how much love and respect a lot of us have for your artwork and craft.

It's far too easy to spout off bull@#$t on the internet, and unfortunately no one really realizes just how powerful and hurtful, their words can be [as the events this weekend in Arizona show all too painfully].

I hereby raise my hand in solemn oath to treasure the creations of Connary and all you other modders who have made my life so much richer and beautiful and enjoyable.
To you men and women I say, Bravo! Ole'!

I love you all.
I respect you.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart. :celebration:

nevermind

Connary, please contact me about this. I tried to send you a PM, but it was not allowed (I assume your box is full...?)

I have enormous web hosting resources available to me. I have a few options at my disposal for arranging a place for you to upload your works and retain complete and utter control over them. Please allow me to help you so that you can focus on your ever-valued talent. :hehe:

Hey, I don't know if anyone noticed already, but the "Connary's BSA" that's being distributed has 3 files that "AllConnaryTextures.rar"+"AllConnaryTextures2.rar" don't.
As best as I can remember, the 3 files are something like

Meshes/d/in_vaultdoorstrong00.nif
Meshes/x/terrain_ma_rock53.nif
Textures/Conn_refl_writing_dark.dds

And there are a *lot* of files that the latter rar's have that the BSA doesn't.

Thanks?? So kind. A small pet for you http://img402.imageshack.us/i/mgescreenshot10.jpg/



I will contact you. Thanks for your kind offer??

this my friend... is absolutely ****ing awesome. wait, no it's more than that but my words just fail to describe.

I got permission from Armed defender to include his mesh improvements mod into my mod. :foodndrink:


haha Sister, *****ing??? :biggrin:

Eeeee! That is so adorable Connary :wub:

If guars are going to look like that in the future all my characters are going to have pets!

Wow, it's looking so healthy and alive and toned like the environment. Of course, guars have the most character of all creatures on Nirn.

Great guar's texture!!
Maybe it would be perfect if it were coloured slightly more (like the original which has a warm skin color).

Simply extraordinary.

And Superfligg flies in to save the day again. Is there anything that that genie can't do?

Yeah, I can't wish myself free. I need a master to use his third wish to do that.
