Howdy folks!  I had a request to provide a more detailed look at the powers and abilities of the ThunderCats in my mod, so I put this video together to give a deeper examination of what everyone can do.  It shows a couple of skirmish matches with the team vs. the Mutants.:

Also, I have a favor to ask; if you're enjoying these videos, please give them a like to help boost their visibility!  I'm really hoping to get some traction with the fan communities and recruit some folks to help me with voicepacks and such.

Howdy folks, I spent all afternoon today bashing my head against the wall, trying to solve the mystery of how to fix the issue where pieces added to a mesh via nifskope show up shiny in game.  Thanks to SA, I had previously figured out what the actual issue was: such pieces are missing the entries in Nifskope that connect them to appropriate glow and refl textures.  Long story short, I painstakingly figured out how to fix this through trial and error...only to then discover that there is actually already a tutorial on how to do it on my own darn website from when I backed up all the FF tutorials.  So, here you go, a tutorial on how to add glow and refl entries to an object in Nifskope:

Oh man!  I'm so sorry to hear that, RD!  I hope that your wife will stablizie and recover quickly and that y'all can figure this out and find good solutions.  I know what it's like to face mysteries like that; it can be really maddening and distressing.  I'm really glad you took her to the doctor in the first place!

We'll be praying for y'all.  Take care, and know we're pulling for y'all.

As a diabetic myself, I know how dangerous low blood sugar can be. Good job getting her to emergency care. I'll keep you in my prayers and wish her a speedy recovery.

Take care and all the time you need.

What a terrifying situation to go through, but you handled it so well! Calling 911 and getting her to the ER was absolutely the right move—with a blood sugar level of 30, your quick thinking literally saved her life.It makes complete sense that she's exhausted and that they're keeping her admitted for a few days. From what you described, the initial fall, eating so little, and her diabetes medication created a perfect storm for severe, recurring hypoglycemia. Being in the hospital is the best place for her right now so the medical team can run all the necessary tests (blood work, scans to rule out anything from the fall, and adjusting her medication) to pinpoint what caused those drops and get her fully stabilized.She is in good hands right now. Sending you both so much strength and healing thoughts.we're here for whatever you need, and we're hoping for a smooth recovery so you both can get back home safely this weekend.

Best wishes, and I will pray for you and wife.

Well, everyone, major problems at home.

Friday before, my wife slipped and fell getting out of bed. She wasn't really hurt, but it threw her schedule off and she did a lot of sleeping that weekend and not eating much.

Monday night things got really bad with her slurring her words, being foggy and unable to stand. Against her wishes I called 911 and they found her blood sugar had dropped to 30 - she is diabetic. If I had waited for her to "sleep it off" I don't think she would have made it as things got worse. They got her back to normal with an IV and some food, and we thought we were good, but then Tuesday it seemed to have come back, though not as bad. Her level had gone back down to 45

We talked to a couple of nurses on the phone and with their advice I took her to the ER yesterday afternoon.

They got her stabilized again but testing found some other problems so she'll be there a few day. I'm going back this afternoon to spend time with her as she's getting some more tests done now and she's very tired.

Hopefully I'll have her home this weekend and we can try to get back to normal, though I'm dreading the bills when they come in.

Well wishes and bags of gold appreciated.
