So what are some low impact shader mods that make the game look better? You guys have been talking about shaders a lot recently in the thread but there's like 6 different ones with a million different settings and it's Gamebryo so I don't know what single line of text is going to make my game run like molasses. :smith:

Film grain is a great mechanism to give depth to rather flat looking things, like Gamebryo. It does get slightly overused and added to things that dont really need it but used well it's a pretty good thing.

the guide I posted earlier in the thread is pretty much including low impact shaders, they don't pull on the performance that much, there's a lot of room to tune settings down in the enbseries.ini, its pretty straightforward and documented. Also it's safe to turn off DoF it's pretty erratic anyways.

When I'm done with it. :D I sadly can't really tell. I constantly get sidetracked by small stuff like these shaders and haven't done much lately, but I've already a lot of armor pieces in. It's sorta like the armory, just for armors and with the plan to not include horrible anime armors and balance the stats of every armor in a way that they fit to vanilla armors and don't turn godmode on. I also have to slim down a lot of unneeded resources that mod authors put into their mods for whatever reason. One quite popular armor mod from the nexus I brought down from about 700 mb to about 90, without deleting anything that wasn't already in there. This stuff takes sadly a lot of time and is often pretty repetive.

Yeah, Cinematech looks a lot nicer with less film grain, but for Old World Blues I cranked it all the way up to the highest setting and it really added to the old sci-fi atmosphere.

Also, to the guy asking about the shaders, start here: Director's Chair

Just download everything it says it needs, bind a key to open it in-game, and you can tinker around with a half-dozen different effects and filters.

Even with a bad video card, you can easily do the low NMC texture pack + poco bueno. Don't skimp on ALL of the graphics mods, just don't go crazy with them and add them one at a time.

That being said, you're probably gonna get a lot of people telling you to play through the game once vanilla before you start modding which isn't a bad idea beyond graphical mods + maybe a nice house mod.

If your video card is bad, it might actually be worthwhile to download NMCs small texture pack - supposedly they're optimized better than the default textures so you will actually IMPROVE performance while using it.

As for "what mods are acceptable", it all really depends on how much you want your experience to mirror the base game. Personally, I went modded out right from the gate, because I like the base game design, but I felt the options added by the mods I used made for a more interesting game without completely changing it.

Some good mods to start with:

Project Nevada - Core. The other modules tweak the game a bit more, but the core module itself is worth it even for a basic vanilla run, since it adds some really handy features like a dynamic FPS style crosshair, and a grenade hotkey. You can just disable any of the stuff you don't want through an in-game menu, too.

Delay DLC. Obviously this doesn't matter if you don't HAVE the DLC, but if you bought everything at once, this will make the DLC quests get added at more appropriate spots in the wasteland, rather that just dumping them all on you the second you leave character creation.

Some weather mod. There are a few options in the OP. There's also project reality which was brought up a few pages ago, which takes the opposite approach of the weather mods in the OP and gives the game a more STALKER look.

Operation fixed terrain. I haven't tried this one myself, but in theory it should be completely unnoticeable - it's more like a big world bugfix than a mod.

Things to avoid:
-Any mods that add new perks/traits. Most of them are not really balanced (nor meant to be), so they can kind of ruin the game if you don't know what you're doing.
-Any mods that change monster spawning/stats. Obviously this is going to change the gameplay dynamic significantly.
-Weapon/Armor mods. The Armory is great, but if you want the "Core game" experience, you should probably save any content additions for after you've completed your first go.

It might be my mod, but I agree. The only way you should use The Armory on your first playthrough is by only activating the test cabinets and having the massive willpower to only select ONE of your favorite RL weapons and then rolling with that until you reach the point in the game where you kill pretty much anything and are rolling in ammo and caps anyway.

There nothing wrong with liking Underground Hideout. I'm basing a little housing mod that I'm making on its earlier versions. It has a ton of really good ideas and its earlier versions were just about the best houses out at the time. Unfortunately it's also a great example of a modder who just kept piling poo poo rather than polishing what he had.

What I did was whenever I found a new gun/caliber, I would go to the cabinets and find something of applicable gun and caliber and replace the vanilla weapon with it.

Handy little mod for those who like to do multiple playthroughs - Alternate Start Extended - great for your multiple playthroughs, testing, and experimentations. They're essentially a collection of four savegames where he does all the essential tutorial poo poo as well as collecting the important items and loads you up in an area right before you can activate the screen to change everything. What separates it from a lot of the other fast start mods I've seen over a while is the level of professionalism the guy took towards it. This includes optionals for hardcore mode runthroughs.

An update... apparently this still occurs even with no mods loaded and re-install of Project Nevada and verifying the game cache didn't have any effect. I'm stumped. Could a mod have over-ridden a file that I needed so that even not having the mod loaded would cause the error to occur?

Also, Naky is there any special trick to installing the Armory? I installed the latest one by adding the data files to my NV folder and then opening the 7z file with FOMM, activating the Armory mod and the cabinet add-on and I'm still getting big red arrows over some folks.

Stutter Remover hasn't worked since the last patch I'm afraid. It needs to be updated, but appears to have been abandoned. Best bet for capping your framerate now is a 3rd party program like Dxtory (it's basically Fraps with a frame limiting option).

You should also check out the 4GB enabler, letting the game use more RAM can resolve some stuttering problems. If you're using the script extender, you'll need the version that works with it. Either way, go to nvse.silverlock.org (link for the NVSE version is towards the bottom in the frequently asked questions section).
