You should also make the disassemble recipes (for paired weapons) only appear if you have a paired weapon in inventory.

You know what, goons? I didn't like New Vegas all too much the first time I played it when it was 1 hour fresh right off Steam and it felt like my computer was not only a half year old with top specs, it ran so bad. But I think that has changed now and I can probably play this game without being annoyed. I can't do that without adding mods, seeing how much fun that was in Oblivion. What are the "mandatory" things and mods I should be having to make my F:NV-experience not be ruined again?

People who tweak the gameplay are generally doing so for second, third or fortieth playthroughs. I wouldn't recommend delving into these except for repeat performances. Many of them are designed specifically to keep the game fresh after repeated play, and the others change stuff that you may not want fixed. You'd have to have played extensively to have a good handle on how the game works before you can go about altering it to your satisfaction. That said, get texture packs and poo poo. Poco Bueno has had good reviews, a couple of the radio mods are said to be good, there's a gunshot audio mod in the OP that's okay, people like Nevada Skies, etc.

Better fire up GECK! Some day, if I decide I'm done with The Armory for a long while, I may or may not start work on a quest/faction type mod. I have one in my head, but I won't even start it without doing a full doc for it so we'll see.

(edit): a lot of the radio mods are good -- Conelrad and More Where That Came From are excellent. I love Fallout style music and having a wider variety of it is great because unmodded you'll hear the same songs like 80000 times and as great as they are it's like OH GOD loving BIG IRON AGAIN after awhile. Also as a bonus, you can still listen to Conelrad in the DLC areas where you lose most of your standard stations. Existence is really cool for something different in the tenser parts of the game. I really don't use anything other than radio mods and cosmetic poo poo like sunglasses. And actually the sunglasses mod is kind of abusable since it gives you like 500 different pairs of sunglasses and you can sell them all at a pretty good price, so I don't know if I'd even install that on a fresh playthrough unless I felt like I could restrain myself. Or if I just didn't want to worry about money at all. StarkRavingMad fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Jul 23, 2011 |

Mr. Crow posted:And why is it impossible for people to do quality control (has nothing to do with The Armory, I've already said how I feel If you're using Run the Lucky 38, don't use Victor unless you absolutely have to. That mod is quickly approaching the "feature creep" singularity and approximately .5% of it was ever tested. I used to love the mod, but the more I found in the Lucky 38, the less I liked. Things were out of hand when I found three fully stocked (with extremely powerful weapons) armories in one of the basements... one of which wasn't properly locked behind the "You have to pay 150,000 caps to get in." door. The one feature that really convinced me to uninstall the mod and never look back was the "Haven" section. There were several "vaults" in between featureless cave systems. One of the vaults had something like six consecutive "airlocks" before it finally opened up to... another airlock, but one with two friendly turrets. There wasn't anything of noteworthy value in any of the vaults that I was able to find, either - beyond some random ammunition. Several of the terminals I found down there had more of the horrid writing that seems to be endemic in the mod: screen after screen after screen of some supervisor or another keeping a "journal" and bitching about Mr. House. I don't recall any of them having been broken up into paragraphs. I believe one was seriously six screen lengths long. Then, to top it all off, one of the deepest vaults had two locked VR pods.  So yeah, stay the gently caress away from Run the Lucky 38. The only other "build this casino!" mod worth mentioning is "Rebuild the Bison Steve." That mod is much better in every regard, including professional-sounding voicework that doesn't have the "twenty-somethings recording lines in Skype" problem a lot of mods have.

). Playing "Run the Lucky 38" and there are literally like 4 different ways/methods to use the elevator/menu in it and none of them are similar, and one or two of them don't even send you to the right place, it really annoys the poo poo out of me and it seems to be a pretty cool mod. I mean how hard is it to put the same menu script for the elevator on everything.

Bah. Some mod I installed at some point replaced my Cass. I'm quite certain I got that Cass I was using from this very thread but I can't find it now nor can I find what I'm remembering on Nexus. What are all the Cass makeovers everyone's using? The details I remember was that she had brighter red hair, it was short and I'm fairly certain it required Ling's.

I think it has a lot to do with weapon skill not meaning poo poo anymore (because of iron sights) but who knows.

I finally had enough of the lovely Sturdy Caravan Shotgun preorder texture this morning so I made a little package that will swap out the old one for Arenovalis's Caravan Shotgun texture. You have to have the Steam Preorder DLC + Arenovalis' caravan shotgun retexture for this to work. http://www.4shared.com/file/0ZdUEIhD/Preorder_Shotgun_Texture_Updat.html

In fact I remember getting it because of the abomination that Redesigned turned her into.

Yeah that's the one I'm using for Veronica but I don't like his Cass (search for makeover on Nexus to find the mod we're talking about, btw). Way too young looking. I've given up on finding the one I used to use so I assume the author made it invisible. Instead I've taken to A Better Cass that was released recently on Nexus. It's nice without making her look young or anime.

For those curious about the nif DRM we discussed a couple weeks ago, we've been in contact with the niftools development team who was mighty interested to see what the hell people have been doing to break their poo poo and gently caress with game engine stability. They're using our script and some examples to look into what they're doing, how they're doing it, and possibly integrating our fixes into their toolsets to at least neutralize this poo poo in the future.

Make sure you also don't have any mods activated that need the ESM as a parent. The game will automatically re-activate the ESM if that's the case, so even though you have it unchecked in FOMM, it will still be activated in the game (check your merge mod if you've got one!)

Chronojam posted:Would it be viable to report those files as "using known malicious techniques to induce engine instability"? To who though ;_; Basically, going to the NifTools team and working together with them every time something like this poo poo pops up that's about the only thing we can do. I don't see Obsidian/Bethesda caring. On the positive side, the stupid people doing this poo poo have stated they only half 3 or 4 tricks they can use to break stuff and one of them was references as a BSA hack and that should be a pretty easy one to get around. So if that's the case, that's 3 out of 4 we know about and can fix. The only mystery one is the fourth one, though at least now we know we have the support of the NifTools devs behind us now.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:Wait, what is this? I can't seem to find the original discussion, but this sounds very interesting. tl;dr: a few modders from F3U are starting to 'DRM' their work to break existing modding tools so you can't access the files. Long explanation: The first version of this was a simple version removal from the header that you can add back in via hex editor. It's harmless and doesn't do anything to the engine; just the tools. The second version, however, nobody knows exactly yet what or how they're doing it but it's been confirmed to outright crash the engine if it's done 'improperly', while if done 'properly' it causes a slow degrade in performance and eventual crashes while using it. The author claims that it's irreversible, but we wrote something to reverse it. We also feel it could be causing a potential memory leak or something. The developer I talked to initially was surprised the engine was even loading/working with the poo poo they did to the file.

Yeah, well, the main guy doing it right now has two mods he's done it to - one is a port of clothing from a commercial game, and the other is all weapons from FPSBanana/MW2 with three original weapons he's done himself. Except those three weapons are nearly 40k polygons each, I poo poo you not. Out of spite, I've ripped out a bunch of the useless poo poo he had on there in an effort to cut down on the polycounts and included them in a separate container with a giant warning in the cabinets esp for The Armory. Needless to say, they will not be added to the leveled lists or anything. We've stopped one step short of re-releasing his stuff DRM free because we don't think his mods are really that good to be worth it, but I think it's enough if we can get the NifTools updated to neutralize it period.

What do you want to bet that those modders bitch about mainstream DRM schemes like SecuROM and such almost constantly? Honestly, I wouldn't bother putting in the effort to reverse engineer it and just warn everyone away from them, with the (legitimate) reasoning that they will destabilize the game.

I couldn't help myself. A two minute perusal of their boards reveals the following: A thread topic titled "Is it just me or does the vaults in New Vegas seem very boring" A thread dedicated to fantasizing about a fight between the Courier and Eli (From "Book of Eli") A thread with this statement, unironically spoken: "I can ID all your mods but I'm sorta swamped with work for the moment so I'll just tell you your body is likely Type 3 F-cup with some kind of oil shine texture. I'll come back next week if no one else has helped you yet." ...Sometimes I think some of Fallout's modding community moonlight as Minecraft modders, and vice versa.
