Has anybody checked out the Happy Tactical Squad mod yet? Stupid name aside, it sounds like an interesting companion-based mod. The author describes it better than I can, though.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:WME has a silencer for the hunting shotgun, and it is very fun to use. It's good, my only criticism is that you basically get everything for free right off the bat, meaning you can leave goodsprings with a mob of people and start getting tons of caps for their kills. It seems like a common thread in all of the best NV mods that the mod author literally showers you with caps, plus having that many followers right off the bat makes things really easy unless you're using some crazy version of IWS. It is a better version of Companion Share and Recruit though, in my opinion, so if you liked that mod for FO3 you'll love this one.

No worries though. A new question - has anyone come across a mod that lets you make a custom jukebox/radio? I want to make a radio that I can place in my Underground Hideout and have it play my own custom MP3s for the entire cell, kind of like Sheppard's cabin in ME2.

Once you have your radio station configured, just open UH in FNVEdit, locate the activator for the radio (it is the first activator in the list, shouldn't be hard to locate), and set the RNAM radio station variable to use the station you've created in RACE. You'll probably need to add the RACE station mod to UH as a master before it will let you do this, but that's not difficult and there's literature on how to do it in FNVEdit's manual. How does WMX compare to WME by the way? I'm seriously torn on whether it's worth making the switch, but it's a little more tempting now that there's an inventory sorter patch out for it.

It feels like I'm seeing more weapon mods now, and they also feel more useful. Plus, it's got more of a pedigree behind it, what with it being made by the guy who did WMK for Fallout 3.

I'm a huge fan of anything by pucemoose, but I will warn you that they're adventure game-y and not action oriented. If you don't like solving puzzles using clues then you'll probably uninstall them out of frustration, but they do all (mostly) have online walkthroughs. The only one I really dislike by him is his first effort, a note easily missed, which has substandard level design. Evening with Mister Manchester and In the Shadow of the Swamp are my favorites by the author. A Quest for Heaven is also a pretty quality effort, and the third chapter was just released not too long ago. I haven't played all three but the first two were polished.

Smuggins posted:Is New Bounties I really generating a lot of hate or am I hearing the frustration of only a few? I've been very light on my mod list and I do not remember having any problems with the mod. I had it installed from the start but never actually pursued the questline. 53 hours later and three bounties in I had fast travel crashes, save crashes and lockups and had to put in a lot of work to get my game stable again. I was actually enjoying the mod but it completely broke my game and going by the comments section on newvegasnexus there's quite a few people having the same issues at various points. I actually contacted the author and he suggests going to a previous save BEFORE I had the mod installed, so that's not helpful and not actually trying to find out why some people are having these issues. So basically I would like to play it but not at the risk of a complete reinstall plus mod installs. If it works for you enjoy, didn't work for me and I'll steer clear until I've finished the game or something.

So I hopped on a few bandwagons: NV Bounties 1 (played it before so I expect no real issues) Electro City and the shades/bright sky add-on (F'n Great! I love hotkeyed shades. YEAAAAAAAAH) Tailor Maid Black Basic (Kinda dissapointed it's all basically shoulders, bleh) WME (So far so good) A Place in Goodsprings (Simple place to store until the good places show up) Community bug fix FOMM Darnified UI (F'n GREAT) Better Binocs Wasteland Radio and Existence 2.0 (loved these since they came out) Better Lucky 38 Suite (not the one in the OP, this one is far more modest) Purge cell buffers (been using this awhile and happy with it) But it looks like it is time to dive into the land of FNVedit because with the addition of: World of Pain (low loot) Stutter remover Color me Evil and Underground Hideout (must control myself on the cheaty stuff, but fishies!) I have increased stuttering and in the underground hideout, specifically in the "secret door" area I get Black screen crashes which I normally do not get. (I have been very lucky on crashes-performance since day one) Until the crashes it has been awesome! That first cigarette factory in WOP took me by surprise, oh the lovely pain. On the assumption that my work with FNVedit fails I shall return to whine and ask for help but I'm betting it will take care of this one issue. Since Taylor maid kinda let me down I guess I need to get the larger armor pack in the OP and see how that works, I didn't want more DT, just more toys to wear.

I think the stutter remover needs at least another month or so before it's something that should be recommended, I've been following the development and the guy has been really actively squashing bug after bug but a few still seem to remain.

Smuggins posted:Ah, I found that I downloaded it but did not install it. I better not then, it sounds like it will make things worse. I've been using the Stutter Remover for the better part of two months and haven't had any issues with it. By default the utility is set up to limit your FPS to 30 frames, which (in my opinion) is too low. By setting the utility to limit frames at a higher arbitrary limit (mine is set to 45 in NV and Oblivion) I've entirely eliminated the framerate "hot spots" that the Gamebryo engine seems to have problems with. When I say "hot spots", I'm talking about the sharp drop in framerate that comes with looking in certain directions in certain cells (example: a corner of the Red Racer factory in FO3, where there was no noticeable reason for the FPS drop.) Prior to using the Stutter Remover, I was getting 65-70 FPS most of the time, except when looking at the elevator in the Lucky 38 Penthouse, certain directions in Vault 21, and a few other places where it would plummet to 18-20 FPS for no discernible reason. I've also observed a general "smoothing" and consistency in my FPS now. I think of it as a sort of great equalizer: It attempts to lock my computer into a certain framerate so that my GPU and CPU keep better pace with one another, rather than the GPU being bottlenecked by the CPU because NV still isn't reasonably efficient with multi-core processors. Granted, the utility is still a beta like other people have been saying. I just wouldn't immediately say it's a troublesome program--rather, it can be troublesome if configured improperly or misused.

Anyone with Underground Hideout who knows scripting able to crack open the ESP and check out the script on the Radio/jukebox items? I've added a new radiostation using Radio Active Channel Extender, but it doesn't show up on the Radio/jukebox option - it looks like the choice is coded into the script on the activator for the radio and jukebox. Any ideas how I could add the radio station as an option?

You have to do the generator puzzle, then go upstairs, where there's a broken staircase. You have to climb up some little rock and hop across (or at least, I did it that way, I could be "cheating") to get up to the top. Now I'm just diddling around in the Sound Shack.

It's theoretically possible to make a craftable radio mod, I imagine there's scripting involved though since you'll have to have a droppable dummy item which is then converted to a static item upon use. Scripting still confuses the poo poo out of me unfortunately. A better bet might be removing the script from the item entirely in the GECK so that it just functions as a normal radio.

From what you're saying, the problem is due to the fact that the UH radio has a script attached that lets you choose between stations. Normal radios in NV don't behave like this, just have an on/off state, so converting the UH radio to a normal radio and changing the radio station in FNVEdit should be enough to make it work.
