One of the softer songs I love. U2; Where the streets have no name.

Happy Birthday, Insanity Sorrow! Because you're also insane, I figured I'd make you a cake which would never threaten to stab you, and in fact, can not talk. If the cake does talk, you are recommended to ignore it's advice.

Welcome to the Rebel Alliance! You start training at 0800 hours sharp tomorrow. Or was that The Elder Scrolls Alliance? Either way, I'm sure you'll fit right in. Or be the square in the circle slot like some of us already are.

Since my normal happy birthday image has been used by someone else, I have to improvise. Happy Birthday! Enjoy your cake, because it may be your last one. Being so awesome you may die, explode, then die again, just by touching it.

After seeing all those images I've been wondering when this would be released. A sure download awaits me.

Have I posted this one yet?: *snip*

Well, I never meant that the method would only work on a Laptop, only that I fixed mine using that approach. The keys can be removed, and put back in if you're careful enough, but on a desk top, I'd suggest playing towards the side of risk, because a keyboard for a desktop costs way less then a keyboard for a laptop, and thus the risk is less costly if it fails. I know you can find yourself a dated PS/2 Trackball Mouse within 10 bucks, if you search carefully enough, so a keyboard of similar age could be found for about 15 I'd say. That's about what we got mine for, and it's old.

We used to have problems at our high school with keys not working(mostly because retarded grade nines kept taking them and and putting them in different spots), and when I had a problem with my laptop, I found out that removing the key's is shockingly easy. I'd suggest either trying a can of compressed air to try and knock out dirt, or carefully remove the F keys and search for dirt on the connectors. In either case, removing the dirt is the second easiest part of the job. Putting the keys back in right so they they click into place, and still have their connectors lined up can be hard if you aren't on a Laptop which you've used for close to three years. Plus my laptop had easy snaps on each key.

Thanks for the update. Loving the meshes, even if I haven't figured out how to get more then a quarter of a vial of blood yet(guessing it's leveled or something). Icon's still missing on the 1/4 vial of blood, at the very least, but it's not as bad as not having meshes(that would drive me crazy). Then again, I don't know if it even includes icons, but hey, no big deal to me.

Having a bit of a issue: My 1/4 quarter full vials seem to be lacking meshes(and maybe textures). Indeed, upon checking in TES4Edit, it shows that they do not have a model assigned to them, as with the other poisons. Another thing of note is that you can't read the book, you can only activate it(which grants you the spell). I'd also suggest using Damage health instead of drain health, but mostly because the drain effects are low(and somewhat useless).

Just wondering, but what was it called before I spewed out a name?

Oh. Well, no, it won't. Those were just ways you could do it in vanilla. I know that the gas arrows in Thieves Arsenal knock out foes, and they wake up if you attack them. Same with the sap, they pass out but wake up when you attack them. Uses OBSE, though, but if you know how to script, anything's possible.

Well, a knock out effect could be done a couple of ways. Most of which don't need a script. 1: Just a powerful damage fatigue effect, or a couple, each doing damage for a period of time based on how strong it is(more damage=less time). Benefits of this method include a non-instant knockout effect, at the cost of possibly leaving them out for longer then intended. 2: Drain Fatigue effects with a higher effect then most NPCs have(1000 could work, but actually finding out a range would be better because you could set it so some people pass out while others don't). Benefits of this method include a set time for which they will be knocked out, at the cost of them being downed instantly. 3: A mix of both 1 and 2, having either a powerful but instant damage fatigue with a small but lasting drain fatigue, or a powerful drain fatigue with a lasting damage fatigue that keeps them mostly drained or actually does enough to prevent recovery during it's duration. I've also heard that disintegrate effects can't be longer then instant for them to be effective, since they only work during the first frame it's in use, but I don't know from experience how true this is.

I guess I can field this one. All three of those effects are non-hostile. You can't make a poison with them. Instead, you can make a script that casts those effects on a foe. I can't remember how to force a spell to be cast on a NPC/creature without making them cast the spell themselves(short of casting it as a ranged spell under them aiming up, which doesn't work all the time, stupid water!), but I'm sure it can be done without using Abilities, which might cause some problems. Oh, and small heads up: Sun Damage doesn't work on NPCs. Or anything other then the player. Stupid, and a sign of either laziness or incompetence on the side of the programmers, but hey, whatcha gonna do?

Happy Burthdeh, bg2408!

set timescale (number) Default is 30, so thirty minutes pass in one real time minute. Lowering it decreases the speed at which game time passes, and raising it speeds it up. I personally use 12. EDIT: I may of skimmed the OP. Now I'm not sure if you're asking how to set game time or game time speed. In the case of the former, I've been partial to bg2408's method with timewarp: Increase the timescale quite a bit, so that time passes faster, then set it back to what the player was using before. Other then that, I don't know many ways. But I'm fairly certain that it can't be done without scripting, short of sleeping or waiting.
