Goddamn, the WMX guy works fast: he's already got a compatibility patch up for Arenovalis' Caravan, Lever-Action and Single Shotgun retextures and has images uploaded for the Hunting Shotgun, Anti-Materiel Rifle and .44 Magnum. Wouldn't be surprised if a more comprehensive patch including the latter three is out very, very soon.

Thanks, Dickeye, A Lamer for trying out the early release. Glad the issue mostly seems to be me (apparently).  So I've been having a persistent and seemingly-random issue with the male armour meshes I'm making - whenever I import them to Blender, they... shift in really weird ways. I don't know what's causing this but it's the big big hangup slowing down work on them. I'm starting to think transformations done in Nifskope or legacy transformations from copying a ninode over from another .nif are having really exaggerated effects in these meshes - but the female armour meshes just aren't doing it. I don't know what to do to prevent this happening; it's really frustrating. especially since I'm almost ready to go with this madness.

Hey, its me, the annoying backpack guy! I've actually got something good this time, I promise! Not requiring a different mod for mine to work, not using stuff spread all over, completely rebuilt from scratch, and greatly tweaked! This is still work in progress, but if you just want to put backpacks into the game, all over the place, with NPC's wearing appropriate looking packs at appropriate times and places, this is probably good enough for you at this point. Gone are the endless camo variants. This new hot version comes in a few variants, but if you like black, you are in luck! Also, if you enjoy the ambience of a good Legion armor, a grungy-looking vault hiking pack, NCR Military packs and their civilian knock-offs, the awesome new leather backpacks that just got released this week, and the charming styling of the Slave Pack, complete with a worldmodel, this will tickle your fancy! anyway, here it is, Please have a go at it, see what is broken, if you have any ideas or input on it, please let me know - and since I haven't yet got permission from everyone involved, (not that I anticipate this being an issue yet) please keep it here on the forums. Now I am going to bed.

According to the readme file, it apparently already worked natively with all weapons except for the Hunting Shotgun / .44 Magnum / Anti-Material Rifle, but this addon makes those work, and he also states that he'll be updating this for any future textures that Arenovalis puts out! However, I think that WMX needs an update, since people in the comments were saying it conflicts with the Community Compilation Bugfix, and certain weapons can't recieve certain mods yet, but I'm sure that it'll get ironed out pretty quick.

Oh boy, oh boy, somebody released another companion mod that allows you to recruit Melissa Lewis (Khans) as a partner. She has fully lip-synced and voiced dialogue, gives you a Survivalist perk when recruited, and has a sandbox mode and full companion-wheel support. (A lot like the Marcus and Sunny Smiles companions I linked in the OP.) The author has intended her to be partner for more of an anti-NCR / pro-Legion run, which is a nice contrast to the large number of anti-Legion default characters.

Capn Beeb posted:Hahahaha from the thumbnail I had the impression that somebody LITERALLY modded G-MAN from Half-Life 2 as some kind of feature for New Vegas. It looks like he's coming out from the door portal and everywhere around you the time is stopped - just like the ending from Half-Life 2. After seeing the full image I laughed for a good minute at the ridiculous awesomeness of that impression - what an alternate Wild Wasteland ending would that make  Amstrad posted:I'm glad now that I never bothered to use this guy's stuff. I can't stand people who have this sort of attitude about modifications. Yeah I see where you're coming from but the problem is that his textures literally give Fallout 3 next-gen graphics (combined with lighting and weather mods). You can also see how insane amounts of work he had to put to change EVERY GODDAMN TEXTURE in this gigantic game. This guy knows his trade - those textures are professional and also work at every distance. When I first played New Vegas I really had to get used to how bad it looked in comparison to the modded Fallout 3 mainly thanks to his textures. Now it seems from those screenshots that he outdid himself and this new pack is going to be a class better. All of this doesn't justify his behavior that's for sure but the thing is that this mod is so essential, it improves the graphics so much that I have no choice but wait for his release while drooling over those images.

There's no question that the sort of devotion and time it would take to do those textures would drive you slightly crazy. Plus, it's entirely possible he's not Internet Experienced, and thus has 0 points in troll resistance, or any idea at all that associating with people on the fallout mod nexus messageboard is probably not healthy for him. Even worse if he's got some sort of idea in his head about using this as part of his professional resume, and he's taking any insult as a personal affront not just to his art but also to his future Awesome Game Job Career. This is all random bullshit, I have no idea who this guy is, but I like his textures!

I now love Underground Hideout more than ever because I just discovered the secret compartment in the master bedroom and the sweet, sweet loot within. I've been dying for somebody to make a decent snub-nosed revolver and one's been sitting right under my nose for loving DAYS. I practically never use that room and it wasn't until I randomly wandered in to see if some recently completed quests had spawned any new props when for the first time one particularly odd detail about it caught my attention... I then spent the next 20 minutes frantically searching the rest of the hideout to see if there were any other secrets tucked away in dark corners, which I'm sure is exactly the kind of reaction the author wanted to get out of people using his mod. Underground Hideout is so awesome

Welp, all the awesome mods I keep loading have finally turned my New Vegas into a glitchy, crashy slurry. I can deal with the occasional (frequent) crash, but the glitch that is ticking me off the most is when, for no apparent reason, my 1st person view decides to go crooked. To the point where my weapon will appear to be pointing at the sky or the ground (although the bullets still go where the crosshairs are), I can't use iron sights, and my character decides she'd rather look at her elbow than the Pip-Boy. Click here for the full 1440x900 image. There are also versions of this glitch where the Pip-Boy is zoomed way out, and another where it's mostly inside the character's head, so only a corner is visible. If I'm lucky, I can occasionally reset the view to normal by frantically switching weapons, firing, and reloading, or by loading a much older save where the view is normal, then reloading the latest one. This leads me to believe it might be a save glitch, except I've been saving only through the console for a while now. I've tried changing the FOV through the console too, to no avail.

9 times out of 10 that type of thing happens because you have a glitchy animation mod, and you're moving before the animation finishes in first person mode. I don't see anything in your load order that looks like a smoking gun but many animation mods are not based on ESPs, and I don't use some of the stuff you do so I wouldn't know if it contains animation glitches.

Is the Gobi rifle any good with the updated stats? The only analysis I can find online is still describing the pre-patch damage and crit chance. Also, is it viable to play without using humanoid companions? I don't like having NPCs following me around but if the game is too hard without them or the quests/dialogue are super amazing I don't want to miss out.

As the guy doing the one big unofficial weapon mod pack thing (roughly 75 guns, 45 melee so far no including variants) for the peeps in this thread and spending the past two days adding modifications to weapons that didn't have them, it's actually incredibly easy to do. I'm an amateur using amateur tools like nifskope and I've been able to do close to 40 weapons in maybe 10 hours of time invested. So long as I have the models and the bits n' pieces are separate like they should be, it's so incredibly easy to do it the way it's done now for so very little time invested. And that's as an amateur.
