Oblivion: Oscuro, Qarl's texture pack, grass polygon reduction. For some reason I can't get Mart's Monsters for Oscuro to work!!

Oh man...I completely recall the "Okely Dokely" That was nightmareish. It was so great for the time.

You reminded me of the Simpsons mod too, lol, so bizarre.

It's very simple to make MMM work with OOO.

Personally I use (probably like everyone using Mods with Oblivion) Oblivion's Mod Manager.

You need to make 100% sure that you load the .ESM files first, and then will follow the .ESP files as usual (the latest version of OMM should automatically load .ESM's on the top of the list, but in the event that it isn't the case for example after adding many such files you'd only have to move them up the list manually so that they are all right under the main Oblivion.ESM file, which of course always needs to load first before anything else). Also make sure that the program uses a "Load Order" parameter, it's at the bottom of the list, it has to be selected to "Load Order", very simple.

For OOO and MMM to work properly you should load OOO first (.ESM, remember) and then MMM.

As for the rest, take a look at how it looks for my own Mods list: http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/9085/ommtw7.png

IMPORTANT NOTE: For Martigen's Monster Mod and Oscuro's, you ONLY NEED ONE .ESP file ! And it's the Martigen's Monster Mod for OOO.esp file, nothing else ! Many people make their mistake right there and they often only use the regular .ESP provided in the MMM's package.

So, to recapitulate ...

1) Load .ESM's first, with OOO's ESM on top of MMM's ESM.
2) Then follows the .ESP's, with the main Mod's .ESP first, and then followed by the Mod's "Extras" .ESP's (for example you first load Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul.ESP, which is the main .ESP file of the mod, and then right below you add in if you want extra .ESP files that either remove or add things to the mod). In this case it will be OOO's .ESP first.
3) After OOO's .ESP you put "MMM for OOO" .ESP, and then, liKe above, you add in any extra .ESP's you want for MMM.

I made some repetitions, but I hope I made it clear enough to help you

My favorites:
Quake 1 CTF
Quake 1 TF
Quake 1 Rocket Arena
Quake 1 Team Arena
Quake 1 Painkeep (it was kind of bizarre, but it was fun)

Half-Life TFC
Half-Life Counter-Strike
Half-Life Day of Defeat

HL2: CS:S

That's about it for mods. I wasn't impressed with anything that came out for Quake 2 or 3.

Rome Total War with the Europa Barbarorum 1.0 Mod Download. It's truly amazing the work that the mod team has put into this game. The difference from the vanilla game to the recently released 1.0 mod is staggering. Here is the link.

Far Cry --- Obsidian Edge
Came out to late in Far Cry's life to make as big of a impact as it could have made. But for the time I played it I had a blast. Got to play with the mod team and a bunch of regulars. We had a blast playing! Ventrilo server just added to the fun.
If anybody wants to check it out. Let me know, I'll reinstall Far Cry and we can see if there are any servers still up. (We can play some 1-1 too)
And the mod team is busy at work making a second one to release for Crysis, and hopefully this time they are able to reach a much larger crowd and the game is able to stick around much longer.

The original Quake with the GLFuhQuake mod. It adds 16-bit color, higher res textures, bump mapping. It brings GLQuake into the 21st century!

The custom battles will absolutely kill your rig though. Unless you're triple SLI'ing with a quad core or something.

Add one more to your M2TW List.

Deus Lo Volt (5.0 needs Kingdoms the expack installed)

Medieval 2 Total War mods I'm looking forward to:

Broken Crescent (basically a mod that is dedicated to the Middle East-- starts in the year 1174)

Basileia Total War (dedicated to the recovering Byzantines and starts in the year 1099)

Europa Barbarorum II (if you liked EB 1.0, you'll be looking forward to this--it's basically around the same team, transferring all their stuff to the new engine--starts in the year 274 B.C.)


Is 4th Age Total War for Rome Total War any good?

I'm reviving this thread because I've just tried out a very surprising modification for Star Wars: Empire at War.

The modification's name is: StarGate: Empire at War

A link for it, plus information: http://www.moddb.com/mods/8387/stargate-empire-at-war

It looks like it has been around for a while but I never heard about it until just recently. For any StarGate SG-1 (or just the whole StarGate fluff) fans I'd say that it is a must have. Just being able to see those StarGate universe ships, planets, names, sounds, voices and overall atmosphere again was delightful. I really like it so far (the Space Battles are the best of course, but that's subjective I know).

If you loved Unreal,

Unreal Tournament - Operation: Na Pali
32 mission single player campaign

Unreal Tournament - 7 Bullets
8 mission single player campaign but even more high quality than the one above

For the other games,

Battlezone 2 - Forgotten Enemies
A total conversion that adds an entire new race and a new campaign

Total Annihilation - Ultimate TA Super Pack
adds an additional 300 units and structures of very high quality

Wow this thread is the best thing ever for me right now, trying to get some more life out of my aging rig & games!

I used to be in a TFC clan and spent countless hours playing, so I'd have to say TFC for Half Life 1 would be my all-time favourite mod.
