Cubemario posted: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. This is theoretically possible; they would have to add stuff to the skeleton for the bouncing tit mods. I know how to model, rig, and animate stuff, I just have no clue how to get it from MAX to NV. All I know is that the animation files are some kind of .kf file. I can't seem to find any documentation on naming hierarchy or what to do to make the game use custom animations.

I am going to resume my hideout mod to replace Underground Hideout since the addition of poo poo noises have now pushed that mod into unusable territory for me. Not to mention that the whole hideout brings my framerate to a crawl. I had originally dropped the project because Underground Hideout was more or less what I wanted to do but already done and I was swamped with school. Anyway I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for a hideout theme that doesn't boil down to "Here is a mint condition vault. Enjoy." Right now I am really liking the idea of an abandoned Nevada Desert Rangers scouting outpost in the hills between Goodsprings and Primm that you could find early. It wouldn't be an underground mansion, just stuff that you'd need if you had a paramilitary outpost in a cave for three or four scouts. I'm thinking along the lines of the gun-nut basement from tremors meets Mad Max if he had a hideout. Bedroom or two, bathroom, kitchen + storage, and armory/collection room(with the UGHO's weapon rack and munition shelves). No television rooms, reactor rooms, VI simulators, no goddamn fish tank that brings the FPS to a crawl. Any other suggestions?

For the, the perfect hideout was what I made for Morrowind - the Hall of Heroes. A place you earned through a quest that starts off small. A bed, some storage, but definitely a fixer-upper. Spend the money and do more quests to find the resources to upgrade your facility for more display space, sorters, etc. The Hall of Heroes was great because the general plot behind that was that people would pay to see your private collection of trophies, weapons, armor, etc. Obviously that wouldn't work in the Fallout world so much unless you decided to make a museum on the Strip. Which isn't a half bad idea either. Extra props to you if you manage to make an optional plugin for your mod that has all of The Armory weapons on display

Maybe instead of that I could put a derelict Gutsy in the beginner room. After you fix him up he gives you the location for schematic cards that give him the plans to make additional rooms. Each card could be a small quest of its own. An armory, storage/display, kitchen, repair and crafting, etc. Not a bad idea. I'll try a test run of something like that tonight actually. As for the weapon wall + armory, the script is simple. Kind of tedious but doable with two or three days work. That said I am amazed at how many scripts the UHNV guy managed to make for that place. I've only looked under the hood of that thing back when it was just a room and a weapons wall, but good lord there are probably 70+ scripts associated with that place, most dealing with light switches and shower noises

I was thinking of making him a mute with a text readout. The contractors who originally bought him for building purposes discovered that 300 Gutsies saying "Come on hussle up we're behind time candyasses" got annoying and made the human workers quit so they soldered his volumn button to 0. Also going to make him require the schematics and 2 or 3 bottles of booze before he will begin. He doesn't like people but his scanners cannot detect alcohol due to a drivers error so he cannot tell if a bottle is empty or full. For a while when he was in the Mojave he just picked up bottles and drank, but he powered down after too many failures with empty scotch bottles. Over the years he rusted until you repaired him. Now he stays at your place and builds room in exchange for occasionally sipping the vast stores of whiskey that your bogarting rear end saves up for no particular reason.

Looking back it was some pretty amateurish work but with the experience I have now I probably could have done so much more with it. Maybe I'll do a Skyrim equivalent... that is, if I like Skyrim. I hated Oblivion, so I didn't mod for it.

Maybe it's just me but those terminals in the Tool Company and Camp Golf, the ones that unlocked the Lucky 38 in an older version of the quest, bother me because there's nothing tied to them and the idea of unlocking further areas reminded me of them.

How the hell do you guys deal with Nevada Skies and its dark nights? I can't see a single thing at night and it's even more frustrating because NPCs treat it like it's bright as day. Do I have to use a mod that adds some kind of nightvision or a flashlight or is there a way to make it more reasonable? e: And on the subject of Nevada Skies, I cranked all the weather frequencies up to max and added all the effects to the cycle but none of it ever seems to happen. Could it be a conflict or is there something else you have to do to activate it? e2: I'll just shoehorn this in here too. I got my dude addicted to whiskey specifically but would rather it be alcohol in general, is this doable with a mod? I couldn't find anything on Nexus.

How hard would it be to add pro wrestling moves as special melee attacks? Like say if I wanted to make it so people could whip out a DDT on a Powder Ganger or something.

I'm guessing extremely hard unless you're a very talented animator willing to learn a nearly documentless set of third party tools developed by people who don't fully understand the format? We're experimenting trying to blend the ReloadP and Attack3 or 9 animations together and it's rough, never mind animating a whole new wrestling move...

So, I just switched over to using WME instead of WMX, and I have to say, I prefer it so far. I'm still trying to figure out what purpose the Second Trigger mod for That Gun does. That's one thing WMX does better, it improves both the stats and appearance of the weapon. I'm not sure but I think WME actually reverts the stats to the pre-patch values.

Do I have to use a mod that adds some kind of nightvision or a flashlight or is there a way to make it more reasonable? There's a Nevada Skies add-on that lets you adjust nighttime visibility to your liking. But I would imagine most in the thread are using the Friend of the Night perk, night vision mods (Advanced Thermal Recon Nightvision perhaps), Simple Street Lights, or some other mods (or a combination thereof) to balance out the low visibility. I use ATRN and SSL. FOOK also optionally adds night vision to power armor helmets (NCR Ranger helmets as well, IIRC).

Advanced Recon Gear is probably your best bet for the Nevada Skies nights. It's not even particularly hard to find the NVGs, since a set exists as early as Primm. (The always-empty NCR tent next to the lieutenant's tent has them.) I just wish there were more helmets that featured the NV settings. You're limited to wearing some sort of weird targeting gear over your eye, a helmet that looks like the ones that Ghosts from Starcraft wear (or the Omar from Invisible War), or Ranger helmets. As a side-note, I was never able to figure out how to apply the NV settings to the sunglasses like I wanted to. The FNVEdit manual's section on applying scripts was basically "Go download a mod and study it until you figure it out."

Moldy Meatball posted:So, I just switched over to using WME instead of WMX, and I have to say, I prefer it so far. Speaking of switching mods, I just recently replaced Nevada Skies with Western Skies and I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner. Not having an in-game configuration tool (none that I've found anyway) sucks, but I seem to be getting slightly better performance with WS without sacrificing any noticeable loss in visual quality and I love the much more vibrant sunrises and sunsets. I just wish WS had a colorful night sky add-on like NS does. I kinda miss Nevada Skies' crazy multicolored star-filled sky. SourceElement, check out the cyborg nightvision implant the maker of Advanced Recon Gear has. When installing, you can select to use the "invisible" implant that doesn't jam the goggle into your eye socket (rendering any eyewear unequippable) and now you aren't forced to wear either of the goofy looking nightvision headset things.

As far as the weather settings go, load up FNVEdit and apply the filter. take a look at the Weather and World(space?) tags. You'd be surprised what mods overwrite NVSkies. I did a deep override with both of those tags and I've got NVSkies working just great. I didn't even realize that the actually clouds I was looking at weren't from NVSkies until after I got the real ones working.

Yeah but that's something I find very annoying about mods. Sure it's great to have choice, but once I have a set of mods that don't update and I always use I'd rather have them all in one package. The other reason is because of how unstable things get from long load orders. I seriously cannot understand how some of you post your mod lists and you've got like 70 mods enabled. I can't do that, I have to either scrap some or consolidate them into a single file.

If mods are clean and done right, it shouldn't matter if you have 300 mods active or 3. The problem is that so many people mod without consideration of other people's mods or making things efficient. You can always make a merge patch too which isn't a big deal if nothing is conflicting.

I was hugely impressed by the config menu used by Project Nevada. I wish modders would use common frameworks for things like configurability, like Ace did for WoW. Swartz posted:Yeah but that's something I find very annoying about mods. FOMM's autosort is fairly decent as a starting point, and then any subsequent mods just get grouped up together. For instance, I lump my cell modifying mods together, new equipment/outfits together, quests, and so on. Consolidating mods prevents me from organising this way, as then I have to consider that such and such mod is regrouping quests, outfits, weather or whatever. And when all else fails, FNVEdit is wonderfully adequate at fixing any conflicts. Correcting the Lucky 38 suite reloaded to work with Interior Lighting Overhaul took me 5 minutes to figure out. Note that I do get the occasional crashes, and they might even be caused by conflicts in my load order that I haven't picked up on. But then those are hard enough to pinpoint that they likely would still happen with consolidated mods.

That New Vegas trade centre that was posted last page is a huge piece of poo poo. Smaller than the images make it look, it's mostly a series of shops that sell pretty much almost everything- nearly all of them in the same room.

I just did that apply filter thing in FNVedit, and I have a ton of red poo poo everywhere. I don't even know what the gently caress. I don't know how to fix it. My game seems to run ok as far as load orders and stuff. The only thing that has recently caused some blips in the radar is the ultra HQ ini for the enhanced shaders, but I expected that to tax my system. The funny thing is that a ton of the red filter labels are in stuff like dead money and honest hearts ESMs.

Everytime I save the Lucky 38 Reloaded ESP, GECK creates a completely unrelated entry for the Followers Safehouse cell. Any idea what might be causing this? I'm trying to find something that might be referring to that cell's FormID, but I'm not seeing anything, nor should it create an entry for the cell even if it was being referred to.
