I've been assembling a ragged, but yet rugged, team for this play-through. I'd rather use friends without the need of SCC (Sharing and Caring Companions) but that system supports a wide range of game characters whom we would gladly call friends. Kim became the 6th friend I would like to think I could count on to support me. Ilana from Anger Management the 7th, (I'm considering giving Ilana a promotion already, a couple more ranks up to be my number one). My point is, Kim The Blonde should be given reliable orders to follow without the need of SCC but being overly stubborn she refused to stay in Charlies abandoned car tunnel Home (17610). Yeah, my pilot-light came on just now too. I'll test her to stay home again but this time I'll tell her to stay at Moriarty's or a virgin game-world environment.
You wouldn't tell it by the looks of it but this woman is not a fire-cracker, she's a stick of dynamite, maybe a bundle, don't know her well enough to tell yet. Will send you a fresh pic just to let you know she's doing fine with her new group of friends.
Edit: Terrible news, Kim was killed by raiders. So it went like this. We left & headed west, 4 or 5 of us. I can recall now, it was after hearing the shocking news of Ilana's death after stumbling into another raider camp that I chose to go into the GECK to tweak her & Kim.
After reinstalling both mods I needed to recruit them again, but when I approached the first of the two, Ilana, there were 2 Ilana's. Try as I may I eventually got rid of the twin Ilana's by doing another clean install of both mods, Kim's included, but I reverted to your primary esp's for both Kim and Ilana.
To go full circle with the beginning of what I said in this edit - some 3 days (game time) later Kim was killed by raiders south-west of Big Town. Ilana was there but I don't know if she saw what happened, I was no witness to her demise neither. I deliberated and while still grieving I surmised the best course of action was to bury her (I uninstalled Kim from my game).
I'll do my best to keep a close eye on Ilana - but if i've more to say about her it'll be on her mod page. Sorry, no pic of Kim to offer, didn't think it appropriate to show you a moment after her murder. Rest assured those filthy, heartless raiders will be hunted down in droves and Ilana will be glad to help with that without a doubt !
I love this mod and only recently discovered about anger management or ilana companion. I reinstalled FO3 and gave it another go.I wish it were possible to just get the communicators without having to track them down first.Such useful companions are worth searching for in vanilla.With my modded game I could use their help immediately. Is it possible to make a combined mod that adds the communicators or a quest pointerto get directly to your custom companions? ps.Your soldier of fortune mod is great! It freshens up the experience of a new play through greatly!
Another image file converter that you might want to try is XnView, it does not do all that GIMP 2 does, but it should be simpler for just converting and re-sizing images. www.xnview.com LINK I've been using this for years and it's free.
The mod is not called 'Ilana', but 'Anger Management'. Because you can control her temper in order to lower her aggression when you both sneak past someone. You might need both of them. Kim is better fighting enemies at longer range and much more aggressive. As I said, Kim for wandering around open wasteland and Ilana for sneaking in interiors and DC ruins. Ilana is, probably, the best sneaking companion in whole Fallout universe. Doesn't sound very modest, but I tried a lot of them. You need to adjust her aggression using phone and you can sneak by in situations you can only dream about with other companions. If that is not enough, you can instruct her to use Stealthboy.
Thanks for the link. Considering image processing, I am using Linux most of the time. I am able to process a whole folder of images with single command line, using scripts and software called 'Imagemagick', http://www.imagemagick.org/
If you are interested here is the script I am using, it is rather simple: - - - - -
#!/bin/sh
cnt=0 for x in *bmp do convert $x -modulate 150 -resize 640x400 img"$cnt".jpg cnt=`expr $cnt + 1` done
- - - - The script converts to JPG, increases brightness and resizes each image file, all in one pass. 'convert' is a utility from 'Imagemagick' package. There is a Windows version of the software, as well, and you can do similar things from .BAT and .CMD files, if you know how to write them.
I'm going to give this a try, but is sounds like Ilana would be a better fit for my character. You should place a link in the main description to her (Ilana) mod. I checked your listings mod page LINK and she is not listed. She sound like, just what I need.
No, I just misplaced one file inside the archive. I accidentally deleted my script file which does batch processing on number of image files, without need to load each of them into GIMP, convert each into JPG, adjust brightness and resize it. It can save hours of work, so I needed to develop new one. I was so pi**ed off that I misplaced a file in the end.
