Why does Machienzo's cosmetic fixes change all the black people in the game to white people? Joe Cobb, Mr. Nash in Primm, the powder ganger in the general store in Nipton, everybody in Silver Rush.

So out of curiosity I've been messing around with the configator/.ini data to see how far I can push the game and have it still run. Has anyone else done this? What I've learned so far: -The LOD fade distances and such really don't make a difference past a certain value -Your main factor in determining how far away you can see things is going to be the "grids loaded" value. After all, it doesn't matter if you've told the game to let you see actors from 10 miles away if it will only load enough grids around you to populate a few hundred feet. -Setting grids loaded to crazy amounts has some interesting results. It just hung forever on the loading screen at 50, but at 30 it did eventually load through, and ran at the breakneck pace of 1 FPS or so. However, it seemed to run into trouble rendering at extreme distances - it completely failed to render the mountain faces in the middle of the map, and I could see right through them to the land behind it. -I have no idea how to get distant land to render in such a way that it stops getting that weird clipping effect with rocks and such. It still did it even at 30 grids. -7 grids is about as high as my machine can handle. I can max everything else without impacting performance, but raising my grids in order to take advantage of those maxed values has a serious hit to my FPS. I'm curious if anyone else has tried messing with these values and pushing them way beyond maximum - my computer is decent but not the absolute best you can make - Quad core 2.4Ghz, 6GB of RAM, and a Geforce GTS 250 1GB card (just the one; no SLI). I'm kind of wondering if there's anyone with one of those god computers out there that's tried it. How far can this engine be pushed when hardware isn't an issue? I think it'd be pretty awesome to be able to play with view distances of miles and miles with a decent FPS, but I don't think the engine can actually pull it off.

If you notice, their body colour is still normal, it's just their faces that turn white.

I haven't used it, so it's possible it's just a bug only you're having, but I know there were mods to make non-white characters in Dragon Age 2 white, and their excuse was poo poo like "It's more visually appealing". The real reason is, of course, "I'm so sheltered that even seeing black people in my video games scares me!".

Yeah, I just found out that you have to make an ini alteration to fix the problem with the face colour not matching the body colour. Hopefully if I do that alteration the faces will then match the bodies instead of the bodies matching the faces - I'd rather not play in an all white wasteland, especially when some of the voices don't match the ghostly white dudes. Edit: Yup, just tested it. I changed "bLoadFaceGenHeadEGTFiles=0" to "bLoadFaceGenHeadEGTFiles=1" in all 3 .ini files and now the bodies match the faces. It's not a racial purification mod after all!

I removed it just fine, as long as it doesn't say specifically in the mod description DO NOT REMOVE WITH AN ACTIVE SAVE then you're pretty much safe. Corrupted saves are pretty inexplicable as far as I know just because of the nature of Gamebryo, so I wouldn't worry too much. Also, I found a mirror to (I think) the latest version of New Vegas Redesigned before it got taken down.  It's in french: New Vegas Redesigned

Ok, a couple of issues I'm having, just need to know how I go about finding out what's wrong. I get the big red texture missing box on a cork board outside the Nash Residence and Lt. Hayes tent area. I had a big red box for the gauss pistol from the Classic weapons mod, and fixed it to show, but ever since it doesn't fire projectiles at all, it fires but does nothing. Any idea where I need to start looking/anyone have either of these problems before?

Anyone have any good settings for PN that will keep the game challenging without letting you turn into a walking God yet at the same time not make the game crippling-gently caress-you-hard? I went with the default settings in PN for the most part and at level 30 I'm basically just dumping points on skills I don't care for since I have 90-100 on almost everything. And thanks to The Armory, I have more money than Mr. House since a lot of the weapons you find tend to sell for quite a bit. So I'm thinking of cutting this playthrough short and rush to the ending (going with NCR) and then starting a new run that will only allow me to focus on one style of playthrough. Also, is there a way to begin at a higher level? While I do appreciate the intro and early stuff, being terrible at everything for the first 1/3 of the game is more of a slog than a challenge.

I'm in the same position, I just hit level 20 and I changed the exp to 66% so we'll see, but I do have the ammo spawn chance up to 75% or something similar because playing gun-lottery to try to use one that has an extra clip or two leftover isn't fun or immersive at all. I also turned on Health Scaling because... playing with 10 health at level 20 isn't good either. Also to the guy with the companions picture above ^ is that retextured leather armour? It looks really high quality.

Huh this is a fun one. My game now CTD whenever I enter Gomorrah and get asked to turn in my weapons but only if I go ahead and choose either of the two turn-in options while carrying the Q-35 (unique plasma).  If I drop it outside and go in the checkup goes fine. But trying to walk in with the Q-35 = crash. My load order if it helps any code:

For anyone who missed it, WMX has been updated with a compatibility patch for Old World Blues. The new mods include Anti-Gravity Woofers (-7 weight) for the K9000 and Extra Bulbs (+100% CND) for the LAER. FIDO can be equipped with all the K9000 mods, meaning it's actually superior to a modded K9000 once again. Christine's rifle and both Elijah's LAER and Tesla Cannon are fully moddable and have new unique textures as well. The sniper rifle no longer has a silencer by default, though. Another nice feature is that the LAER and Cyberdog gun mods now update the appearance of the weapons. Bloody Pom fucked around with this message at 04:06 on Aug 1, 2011 |

epock.esp is a fairly decent, somewhat unrealistic armor, found here. (If you ignore the "tactical cleavage" option.) Oh, and a heads up for anyone about to use New Vegas Restoration, it doesn't work with Requiem For A Capital Wasteland (the FO3 mashup mod).

Is there any mod that adds weapon mod kits from WME to loot lists? I think I've visited a store that sells a WMK once, and that's it. Would be much better if it had a chance to spawn in footlockers/chests/on mercs and NCR/Legion troops.

Charon Improved will also break the companion wheel storage option, and somehow removes the dialog option to view equipment. It's pretty popular for FO3, so if you're using that, watch out. DC Interiors seems to work fine, though. The other improved faces mod that was posted a few pages back (the Macienzo ones or whatever) work fine.

Convicted Lovebot posted:Cut down on goddamn everything except for RFCW, and the thing still goddamn crashes. Yeah it's still got issues, it's why I'm not using it. I mean I don't really blame the mod author - it's a pretty HUGE undertaking to try to port the entire game into an engine it wasn't built on and have it all work seamlessly. To really get good results you'd probably have to go in and manually edit everything in the game world that was built for FO3 and wasn't carried over to NV - imagine how much of a pain that would be. Even a simple job like replacing all the FO3 workbenches with NV ones, and making sure to implement working campfires and reloading benches would require editing dozens of different cells, plus a pretty encyclopedic knowledge of what exists in the game just to know where to look in the first place. It's something that would be really happy if it was actually finished and 100% working, but until that point I'll just stick to playing FO3 in its own engine. Unrelated: Naky, I've noticed that in the Armory there's a compatibility .esp for CaliberX, but it seems to be pretty out of date. Would you mind if I took a crack at it? I've already done a little quick and dirty patch for myself, but I've had a few ideas on how to implement it more seamlessly with all of the other Armory options (including whether or not to handle .45 ACP ammo through CaliberX or Honest Hearts, depending on whether or not the DLC is present). CaliberX itself is a bit out of date, but it would be pretty easy to roll in the NV 1.3 patch changes to ammo into an Armory CaliberX mod alongside modifying weapons to use their proper calibers.
