[quote][quote]The email for the Skyrim UI designer guy was posted BY HIMSELF on the Bethesda blog: http://www.bethblog.com/2008/01/23/inside-the-vault-erik-deitrick/
So as far as I am concerned he is fair game.

You have to be kidding me if you really think this guy uses this e-mail for anything other than junk mail, free naked pictures, and porn subscriptions!
I am not a fan of Bethesda on this game design but in reality they have the right to create and support this game in any way they see fit. We are a very small handful of people who really want to play this game on multi-monitors and it doesn't make much marketing sense for them to commit resources to support this game in the capicity we want. It does boggle my mind that the company itself wouldn't want to see or play this game internally on multi-montors however. This really is the part that surprises me the most. I just can't believe they aren't using multi-montiros to enjoy their own creation to it's fullest internally and if they do have a solution that allows them to do this internally it would be a true shame not to impletment or deliver it to their customers. Either way, this part just blows my mind.
Other than that I have my own fix with the help of Helifax's fix and some other peoples work that is getting me by. I wish I knew what tools HaYDeN uses to create and package his fix and I would put time into learning how to do it myself if someone pointed me in the right direction but I just don't know how to package a fix the way he does.
Hayden's "package" is created in Visual Basic (might be wrong though) by the looks of the UI. But you can use C++ or C# or any other language from which can can get a hook to an external program (exe file).
As a side note is really awesome to see how people bet and how much are willing to pay for the fix;)) I think I will also wait for Haydens fix and see when he will get it out;))
Best Regards,
Helifax
Thanks Helifax,
I have only a little experience in Visual Basic but I do have the tools available to me for VB or C++. Unfortunately, for all of the people here, my programing experience is mostly all in Assembly code for programming and testing our Analog Devices ADSP Microprocessors which operate in our hardware. My coding experience is geared for operating military and aerospace equipment such as servo and driver electronics rather than work In gui interface fixes that target TESTV.exe files. I have modified a ton of peoples C++ and some VB code over time to interface with our hardware but rarely ever write my own C++ or VB code from scratch. It is too bad we don't have HaYDeN's source code as that is what I'm best at, modifying and testing other peoples code. I can say I will try to figure this out using VB but if I were you people I wouldn't hold my breath. :(
Another side note: I agree it is interesting to watch and see how much people will pay. If I were HaYDeN i'd hold out for $1K or start paying you right away since you are right here. :)
