lordfrikk posted:Not to turn this into a plausability discussion, but Bethesda got so many things wrong, because they probably don't give a slightest gently caress about things like that. In New Vegas you can see people growing crops and making guns and poo poo, but FO3 has none of that, not even a bit logical settlement placement. I know the logic wasn't too strong in first two Fallouts, but Bethesda totally killed it. My personal pet peeve are those loving aliens, easter egg that they turned into canon. (and don't you dare calling wanamingos aliens And the aliens from Fallout 1 are just props, yet they have a perfectly viable Alien Blaster, one of the best energy weapons in the game.

My game has become really unstable since I've reinstalled and built up addons from scratch. Is there such a thing as a program which checks for incompatibilities between mods?

Well, it's not 100% working but here's the Caliber compatibility mod for The Armory. The 9x39 ammo has no recipe and I can't get one to work; it just eats my components despite being pretty much identical to every other ammo recipe. If anybody else can figure out why let me know vai IRC so I can fix it. Let me know if I overlooked anything as well. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21315217/armory-caliber.esp

Naky posted:I really hate recommending xCaliber but a lot of people use it so there's that, but none of the guns natively support it. I think Safetyhammer did a compatibility version for 1.5 that he could throw up for you guys that want it though. I'm so tempted to do my own ammo mod, but would definitely cause incompatibilities with xCaliber. I think Caliber is the one thing of Earache's that isn't a poorly-coded mess; a lot of it is a modders' resource, and by default, isn't activated. So don't feel too bad recommending it to people.

Do you really need a custom ammo mod for NV? I mean, bear in mind I haven't played it very much yet, but it's already got a ton more ammo types than Fallout 3 did. It seems like you'd only need a mod for it if you want to go to Jagged Alliance 2 1.13 levels levels of detail where you differentiate between NATO and Warsaw Pact ammunition so that every gun uses the actual ammo it's chambered for in real life.

This is how me and Anime Schoolgirl view it - there's a wide range of calibers in the game already. Anything in the pack that's really "off" was likely done for game balance and also 'cuz 50 guns using 5.56 is kinda redundant. If we do an ammo aspect of the mod I imagine its far down the road.

Why not just have both? As long as you keep updating the pack I'll keep updating the caliber compatibility patch. Eventually Earache might even fix the ammo recipe problem!

You know what would be kind of neat, and seem to make sense in-setting? The Legion using shields. Nobody in a modern setting would be reasonably prepared to deal with shield tactics. They'd be cheap and easy to make, which would put them right up the legion's alley as far as equipment goes, and they're a natural fit with machetes, throwing spears, and any 1-handed guns you put on the grunts. Not to mention providing cover for your guys using the larger guns behind you in formation. I would love to see a mod that puts something like that in. No clue how it would work with regards to the whole aim-with-guns, block-with-melee thing though.

Terpfen posted:The Legion is not the Roman Empire. They are actually but thats beside the point, a thin metal shield (because thats all they could make in FO world, even if they did all somehow have super riot shields it wouldn't be very effective) isn't going to stop a bullet or laser. Oh and "Woops lemme just toss this grenade right over those shields..." *FART*. As far as just gameplay is concerned it might be interesting but none of the shield animations or hardcoded stuff from Oblivion are in, so it would be a horrible hack job and terrible anyway.

Shields make sense especially if you have guys that are melee orientated. A thin slice of futuristic metal married with a wood base could be pretty effective considering wooden shields were semi-effective against pistol fire in the Philippine-American war. It is kinda silly to have one that looks exactly like a real ancient Roman shield though.

Cut-to-size fridge/car doors, scavenged power armor pieces, or the chestplate of a Securitron/Protectron with a bull painted on it, it doesn't have to just be wood. The Legion scavenge for their raw materials just as well as everybody else, as much as they customize and work the final products. Maybe that can be part of the crazy DIY armor mod we thought up a few pages back if it ever happens. \/\/\/ My other pet project is going live on ModDB/IndieDB's Steam knockoff as soon as the administration verifies it's not a virus, so I will have some guilt free time to learn a brand new backwards ancient engine.

I'd be so in for this if I wouldn't hate the script engine of this game with a flaming passion of a thousand stars. I doubt the scripting side would be hard, it's easy to bind perks and armor capabilities to quest variables or other armor pieces. My mod kinda does it for the stealth armor, by giving a -2 perception on the helmet if the armor's power system fails, (or the player doesn't wear it) for example, to simulate "lights going off". If you use a quest script to hold variables (because there's no simple way to attach variables to objects, as they get recreated and destroyed by the engine all the time at completely unpredictable times) you can pretty much make armor react to all sorts of environmental things you can think up. Regarding this the engine is quite flexible. I'd really really really like them to use something like C# or lua for their next game, even if that probably means that there will be a lot less mods in general. (A trend I've been noticing: the more advanced the scripting capabilities in a game, the less mods there tend to exist, people get put off by "real" programming languages, even though they're a lot more logical than this pseudobabble Begin/End/set xxx to yyy crap, and I'd even dare to say, easier to learn) Also, funny how the Armory really makes me want to reinstall JA2 with that realism fanmade patch again.

In New Vegas you might want to try Identity Crisis, I found it to be a decent offering as a middle ground between the action and equipment introduced by Bounties and the storyline and puzzle solving of Tales from the Burning Sands. Bison Steve Hotel and Casino is more of a stronghold builder/quest mod but is very well done and adds some depth to the first half of the game. That pretty much covers everything else worth playing in NV, quality quest mods are few and far between. As far as Fallout 3, puce moose is the king and his mods are without a doubt the best work but the Quest for Heaven series and Cube mod are really great offerings as well. Cube in particular is done by the same people who made Nehrim for Oblivion and draws inspiration from the Cube series of movies. The Institute and Megaton Contracts are really lackluster mods in my opinion, they're highly rated on the Nexus but they don't really do more than add filler to the game.

"Limited" is the key word here, it's not perfect but "The Strip Open" is the mod you're looking for. http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=38056 NVSO is a strip overhaul which takes the strip in its current forms and aims to make it more like what the strip was supposed to look like before it had to be dumbed down for consoles. It requires "The Strip Open" and you may or may not be interested in trying it but I'm posting it here anyway. http://newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=40429
