yeah it sux. im gonna have to reinstall again because this one FINALLY works ^_^... that is until i tried applying the NPC RP patch :( now the screen goes dark like its beginning to run, then just goes straight black and closes, with no error message or anything. its like i didnt even open it :\
i posted a help question on qhimm.com so im kinda waitin to see if anybody has an idea. i thought it was kind of strange though. i tried it when i downloaded, worked fine, got to the new game?/continue screen, hit new game, and the beginning video started, then i closed it so i could go about patching and modding. applied the avatar change mod (changes the menu pictures to teh Advent children pics :)) and tried it, still worked fine. but then i applied the NPC Reconstruction Project (makes the Overworld sprites look better instead of those blocky figures)
and now i got this. gah idk why its not working. i've seen vids and screenshots of people using these patches :\
