I feel like Project Nevade gets kind of under-explained. It didn't initially appear to be an overhaul to me, it just looked like it added stupid augment stuff and goggles, so I ended up going with XFO initially, which is all right but never gets updated and was giving me a bunch of terrible balance issues later on when the game got patched.

I decided to try Project Nevada a week or so ago and it is world's better in just about every way. Presentation, ability to modulate your options, new abilities and features. I definitely recommend it. I started a new game with it and it actually feels like a shooter RPG to me now, my choices actually count for something and the shooting just feels right.

vvv Also that, the grenade hotkey has been a godsend.
Thanks for clearing it up, I'll definitely try it out on my next playthrough.

Interesting discussion on NV and XFO. I've been trying both, because there are some areas that don't overlap.

Right now I'm getting frequent CTDs and lock-ups when I transition areas. I'm going through my load order, but it is a major pain in the rear end because I have been adding and removing so much stuff lately without really testing each mod. Ugh. I've tried that conflict thing with FVedit, but it isn't really showing me an easy fix.

Area transitions are my biggest problem, also. I've recently been keeping the Task Manager open so that I can blindly close New Vegas by randomly hitting Alt-Tab, Tab, Space, and the F key because it won't let me return to my desktop. It's better than rebooting, though.

On that note, anyone know how to force New Vegas to go to the desktop when hitting Alt-Tab?

So what is the current consensus on weather and lighting? I've seen a few people say that Project Reality is better than Nevada Skies. Is PR the current gold standard? My biggest thing right now is stability. I also like my weather / lightning mod to have nice, dark nights to make night vision more important.

Oh, and has anyone used that mod that makes sunglasses useful and important?

I guess the good thing is that it either CTDs or just locks up, still allowing me to cntl-alt-delete my way out. I just wish I could figure it out...sometimes when I'm messing with FOMM and I turn some stuff off, it will seem like I fixed the issue, then I'll get surprised with several CTDs on transition.

PR had shown a lot of promise until the latest update which kills performance severely and makes nights way to dark for most people. Policeautoman is working on a shaders/weather mod that should be the gold standard but there's no current release on that.

Personally I find little satisfaction from any of the current weather mods because they all have glaring issues. As far as lighting goes, interior lighting overhaul is one I can't do without personally.

Fellout is still good but it makes nights way too dark and there's no way to turn that off as far as I know. Like, it makes the strip look pitch black with just disembodied neon signs poking out at you, have to turn on your pip-boy light to find the doors to the casinos.

I don't know why people are still obsessed with super dark nights in this game, I figured it got old some time during FO3?

Can someone help me? My game has a strange bug. I can't fire the gatling laser. Holding down the fire button just causes it to reset the weapon sway animation, and repeat the "warmup" sound. Only when letting go of the fire button will it shoot a couple lasers. It has the DPS of a varmit rifle this way.

I haven't installed any strange or obscure plugins, but the thing is, I've disabled every single .esp and .esm (except falloutnv.esm) and the problem is still there, on a completely unmodded game. I'm sure this is either the compiled patch or EVE's fault, but they're disabled!

Obviously one of these plugins has left some kind of residue. Are there any files that affect how the gatling laser will fire, causing it to mess up the way it is? I can't think of what else could cause the problem.

I really, really do not want to reinstall New Vegas because setting it up with plugins and tweaking takes a long time.

Hi all,

I'm back after a nice camping trip to North Wales:)

For those with GECK knowledge, you can edit night brightness with ImageSpaceModifier settings. The modifiers are F3NVISN1, F3NVISN2, F3NVISN3 and F3NVISTh. Add larger values to the brightness setting in the CINEMATIC section.

In the meantime I'll look at settings for 'Dark Wasteland'. Might be a problem with disabling it? I said I'd take a break but I'm already developing v4.:)

On the agenda for v4 are shadows, MCM , loads more cloud variations and well, loads of other subtle additions.

But People have fears that beasts do not. Questions, too.
Hiya, I've been thinking about a neat weapon concept but I'm not too sure how to implement it so I thought I'd ask here. Essentially I want to make a gun that teleports you to where the shot lands. It's really not too tough to do, and I have it partially implemented already - if the shot (or the explosion) hits an actor, you can grab their reference and do a player.moveto to shift em over there. That's all well and good, but it doesn't allow you to move to an arbitrary place (can't just shoot a wall and teleport there). Probably what I'll have to do is have the shot create a reference point with placeatme or something and then teleport to that reference. Problem is, I have no idea how to do that in practice. Anyone have any experience with creating and grabbing reference IDs on the fly?

For people want to get rid of the pitch black lights in project reality you have to modify the .esp yourself and it's actually very easy.

First download the NV GECK here

Extract all GECK files where the falloutNV.exe would be. Start geck then click "file" at the top then "data". Now check off Fallout.esm and F3NV Project RealityMkIv3.esm ONLY! Nothing else should have a checkmark next to it except these 2 files. Now click on F3NV Project RealityMkIv3.esm and click "set as active file." Now click OK.

Now under Special effects look for imagespace modifier and click it. Now on the right side of the pane. look for a file called "F3NVISN1" Right click it and select "edit".

Another pane should open and you should be able to see brightness and a value next to it on the right side. Change the value next to brightness to whatever you want to. Lower values mean darker nights. I recommend staying above 0.600.

Now do the exact same to F3NVISN2, F3NVISN3 and F3NVISTh. Just click their names on the left hand side and change each value. Once done, click ok and then save your changes. Don't forget to click data and then save so the .esp stays modified.

Now run bash and ensure that F3NV Project RealityMkIv3.esm is activated in FOMM and your done!

If you need more help feel free to ask.

Here's a post I wrote a few pages back if people need more detailed instructions. Nights are so much better now that I can actually make things out.

That sounds like the "charging weapon" feature that PN adds. If you're using one of the newer versions of PN, disable this feature and see if it fixes your problem.

Also keep in mind that just unchecking stuff in your load order doesn't necessarily completely deactivate a mod. You need to go into FMOD (hopefully you are using this ...) and then the package manager and actually deactivate the packages there.

This is true, as well. Node, if you are using PN, reactivate its plugins via FOMM and then go into the MCM panel (if you're using it) and disable the "weapon charging" feature.

Usually the worst solution is to disable everything and see if it still works. A better solution would be to load up all of your .esp's in FNVEdit and then look at the gatling laser record and see who's modifying it and how. Usually that will fix it but if not it might at least give you an idea of where else to look.

Are you using WAR?

No I'm not. But I figured out the problem. It makes no sense at all.

It was changing ifpsclamp to 60 to get rid of micro stuttering instead of leaving it at 0. I have no idea why it causes that, but I've definitely made sure that was the problem. Changing that value also makes miniguns fire in bursts of 20 rounds. I have no explanation, but that was the problem.

Changing it to 59 instead of 60 fixes the problem too. Man that is weird.

As someone said above, normally if you have 20DT and get hit with 20 damage you still take 4 damage or something. If you set it to 0% in PN then you take 0 damage. Makes more heavily armored enemies tougher and I think it makes combat "feel" better.

Other PN rebalance tweaks that should be vanilla mechanics: 0% skill damage bonus on weapons, slower backpedal, enemies and player get the same HP/END, all kinds of solid tweaks to food.

The visors thing is really sweet for sunglasses but I don't really like the effect with helmets. I think the sunglasses effect is available as a stand-alone mod from the guy that made Imaginator and Electrocity etc.

Stutter Remover hasn't worked since the Pre-OWB patch. All signs point to it being DOA, since its author seems to have stopped working on it and hasn't released the source code. However, iFPSclamp is a setting in the fallout ini, not Stutter Remover. Trying to get Stutter Remover to run with the latest game will cause it to literally produce a log stating, "Stutter Remover does not work with this version of Fallout: New Vegas."

PN has it set to 25%, which is higher than vanilla. This makes weapons marginally more powerful, and armor marginally less effective.

You'd run. Granted, by default, most creatures have paltry health and DT values and the biggest problem 0% Bleedthrough causes (early on) are Giant Radscorpions, which are rendered impervious to your Varmint Rifles and 9mm pistols. But a low Bleedthrough value encourages the usage of AP rounds and high-power, single shot weapons.

Creation of a Face
Because a bunch of sliders got removed in the face creation menu that were in Oblivion (and because the head somehow looks horrible in the facegen) it's not really possible to make a face in the creator. (I don't know why they felt the need to replace the perfectly fine face creator from Oblivion with the useless one in Fallout but there you go) The face can be done better in the GECK, as there are way more sliders. You don't NEED to but it's better. I've set up CGPresetHighImperialF01 - CGPresetHighImperialF05 NPCs, all you need to do is edit the faces of these NPCs in GECK, then select them as preset 1-5 in the character creator respectively.
Sorry for my ignorance but what does this mean? I tried using this mod, and while ingame it looks kinda different than a normal Fallout face it doesn't look quite like like your preview in the picture or in the GECK when I preview those NPCs. The shape seems a bit different. Do I have to do anything special in GECK to get them to show up on the presets ingame? HighImperial.esp is the last mod in my load order.

edit:

Am I tripping or is that different looking?
