So, I've just been trying out Project Nevada 2.1 and... my god. The new configuration menu seems to cause all kinds of breaks in other mods, and after I tried uninstalling it through FOMM the entire drat game broke and refused to load past the initial splash screen. Even after disabling all my mods it still wouldn't work, so I had to delete everything, verify Steam files and then reapply my mods to get it to work again.  PN looks awesome on paper, but so far my experience with it has been pretty lovely. New Vegas ran fine until I started using it. It also seems to mess with Nevada Skies, which isn't cool in my book. Maybe once they release a version that actually works with most other common mods, I'll try it again. But not before that. Bloody Pom fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Jul 1, 2011 |

I haven't bothered updating Project Nevada since its release. Except for the occasional refuse to zoom the screen back out after sprinting it works fine. How's that FO3 in NV mod working out, besides the guy who has nothing but red error blocks everywhere?

Moldy Meatball posted:So, I've just been trying out Project Nevada 2.1 and... my god. Uh, care to post your load order? I'm running a bunch of mods, including Nevada Skies, and Project Nevada 2.1 has worked just fine for me, even after upgrading. General "best practice" for mod upgrade/installation with Bethesda games is to uninstall said mod, make a "clean" save without the mod, and then install the updated version. This usually helps avoid the type of situation you have, and is not related directly to Project Nevada at all. Also make sure you are using the FOMM version of the mod, not the manual version. Swartz posted:I've never been a fan of Project Nevada either. Tried it several times, didn't understand why it's been getting so much praise (on Nexus anyway). I guess it isn't apparent at first, but if you look at the coding/back end that goes into PN, you can see how clean the mod is made. Everything is controlled through scripts, added to formID lists through scripts, and basically compatible with drat near any other mod. The weapons module is pretty sweet too and very compatible, although I wish Arenovalis would contribute to it instead of FOOK  I really like the overhaul because I liked FWE in Fallout 3, and also because the guys who make it tend to have the same ideas of MY IMMERSION! as I do.

Just how did you sneak that rebreather into the Villa? Seriously, though - I want to know. Nevada Skies screwed with the weather when I played through Dead Money and two districts were under some really intense darkness in the middle of the afternoon. (The sort of darkness that the regular world sees about 2:00 in the morning.) Being able to bring my Advanced Recon Headgear (I can't live without the NVG mode) into the Villa would have let me view the DLC in a much more positive light.

To celebrate Canada Day, I give to you Canadian fucks (like me) one of our military's active weapons - the C7A2, with optional silencer and scope mods. The Armory's required, sorry non-Armory users. Note that even though this gun will be in the future 2.5 update, I changed the IDs so they won't conflict though I'd personally deactivate it when the time comes. Also, it obviously has no support for leveled lists nor has it been added to any other formlists. Enjoy it for now and do report problems so I can fix 'em.

Project Nevada isn't buggy at all, it's actually one of the most polished mods I've ever seen and I'm pretty familiar with how they all work. Any conflicts that project nevada has that causes other mods to break can be fixed in 5 minutes by moving around your load order and poking around NVEdit.

Speaking of buggy mods, am I the only one whose initial impression of Underground Hideout was horribly negative? Typos abound, the intro simulation quest managed to lose my Vera's Outfit when looting the chest, and the clincher is interacting with HEIDI (the AI thing) breaks my camera every. single. time, forcing me to use the s1st console command to restore it. This is mainly why I was looking for Lucky 38 suite improvements, and mistrusting of them. I'd rather have the original suite expansion mod, with less features, than something full of buggy features.

Nah you're not the only one, modders need to learn that most people would much rather have something simple that fills a need than download a mod that reinvents the wheel and lags the game enough to cause memory crashes. UHNV is a classic example of a simple mod that persisted for way too many versions and has become stupidly unplayable at this point.

Yeah Underground hideout is just a mess at this point. It was a fantastic house mod until he really jumped the shark and started doing VI simulators and adding poorly scripted quests.

I really haven't seen any need to interact with HEIDI at all when playing with UHNV. Beneath all her video screens is a separate interactable object that launches the "console" that you can do stuff with. Really, at this point all I'm using UHNV for are the collections. If there were another hideout mod that had as many sorters, display walls, and quest trophies as it did, I'd switch in a heartbeat and never look back. Though on the "why bother playing at all" side of things, you can exploit the "tgm" command and the shooting range for literally infinite XP by continually shooting a blue target until you get tired of holding down the mouse button. The hunting simulation was also kinda-sorta fun to a point. Am I also the only person who completely cheeses the "quest" for UHNV by deactivating clipping and avoiding the laser hallway entirely? I still have yet to find a way to do that legitimately. I'm convinced it's not possible.

Question for those of you who are fans of the K98 as it affects what we do with it in the future with The Armory... as you might have noticed, the Mosin-Nagant doesn't quite animate accurately because we're cheating with it. The Mosin and the K98 are both actually top fed, bolt action rifles and as far as I can tell it's impossible to get both animations working together unless we figure out how to create a new reload+attach animation that can work together. With the Mosin, detaching the part that holds the clip is how we're cheating, but with the K98 it has nothing like this. So my question to you guys is - would you like us to cheat again like with the Mosin and chalk it up to lol gun runner custom lol or would you prefer us to just not use it at all until someone can blend those animations together? I ask all this because the K98 is probably the most requested gun to date...

A blend of the Hunting Rifle and This Machine's reload would be ideal, since you have the bolt opening/closing and (could) have a stripper clip of 8mm Mauser take the place of This Machine's en bloc. You actually might want to check our Hunting Rifle model. We may have even slipped a stripper clip into the stock for an animation experiment we never followed up on. .308 and 8mm Mauser aren't that close, but it might be a good starting point.

I've been using PN 2.1, the WMX patch, and the DLC patches for the last few weeks (2.1 since it was released internally) and haven't had any issues whatsoever.

From my experiments thus far, I'm not sure if it's possible. My experiments doing exactly what you said by using ReloadP, but naming the bolt so it can work with Attack 3/9 just doesn't work well with the reload animations despite the animation itself working fine after adjusting it. Basically it works great until the hand movements to open up what would normally be the pullrod doesn't work on the bolt and the clip passes through the bolt's mesh. It looks terrible, but I guess it's better than nothing  I think what would be ideal is modifying one of the attack animations and/or ReloadP's animation so that ##PullRod == ##HRBolt. lilspooky posted:Oh sorry, I misunderstood.

Maybe it's still flagged as a quest item, even though the quest was finished? Yeah, it's a quest item by default, so it normally stays, I believe. I'm using a mod that changes its equipment slot and quest status, however, so it didn't follow me to Sierra Madre. I've been trying out the Lucky 38 Suite Reloaded, and it's actually kinda nice. I did have to solve conflicts with Interior Lighting Overhaul -- its "Original Lucky 38 Suite" add-on that's supposed to restore the suite doesn't actually restore everything, so I ended up just nuking the whole cell from ILO. The hall is gorgeous, much more like what I expected when I was first given access to a "presidential" suite. I like that it's a single cell instead of split up into 5-6 like Underground Hideout, even if that means slightly longer load times. There's sorters, weapon display cases, but no mannequins. (How will I show off my outfit collection!? ) Of course, most of the work in the sorters and display racks comes from UHNV, but who cares.There are some upgrading issues if you'd purchased anything in the vanilla suite, though, as all some upgrade containers show up in their original location. Nothing that can't be fixed with a little console work, though. The biggest shortcoming is the horribly jarring text, riddled with typos, grammatical errors and bad translations from French. I offered the author to proofread and translate anything he wants, which will probably get me banned from Nexus.

I don't have my load order anymore, but it was something along the lines of Core .esm files Project Nevada .esms Project Nevada .esps Project Nevada DLC Patches WMX .esps WMX DLC Files Project Nevada WMX Patch Darn's UI Nevada Skies For some reason the timescale on Nevada Skies stopped working correctly after I installed PN (only got can't-see-poo poo dark for a few hours in the morning, brightest time of day was 4 PM) even though it's last in the load order. It seemed like different parts of the PN interface would fail to load properly on each try (first the main config menus, then Cyberware, then the config menu again). And to those asking about clean saves, this was a brand new character I was testing things on. Bloody Pom fucked around with this message at 23:27 on Jul 1, 2011 |

In the 3D window though, learn the keyboard shortcuts and when placing things I've found entering things in an XYZ fashion to be far better than loving around with the mouse view and all the different buttons you have to hold down to rotate and move on various axises. Axisii. Axisis. I dunno.

I don't get what you mean by model replacement. What needs replacement? In my experience, most models are actually fine or need small tweaks - it's the textures that makes the difference. Just look at what Arenovalis does with the stock meshes. As for companions, I imagine what holds back most people is the need for quality voice acting both on a technical (equipment) level and an acting level.

I meant custom player models with custom rigs and entirely different appearances. Maybe it's been done on some level with MMM in FO3 and I don't remember. I suppose it's uncommon for the reasons you said. I sometimes forget games are far more complicated than back in the days of UT where custom player models and the like were commonplace.

There have been: Type 3, the furry mods, Children of the Wasteland, ED-E as an anime ect. Besides turning Bethesda RPGs into porn games there's not a lot of reason to modify the base body models themselves. The way these games handle clothing is by completely replacing the body parts with clothed ones, so any alterations to the underlying body aren't carried through without modifying every single piece of armor. Likewise any new clothes or armor have to be fully rigged to work. Creating a new suit of armor pretty much IS building a replacement character model. There was an experimental mod that used scripts to make people skinny or fat but I don't know if it ever matured into something useable.
