Yes. Most of their members are only marginally more literate than, say, your average GameFAQs poster. Plus they're a deeply insular and curmudgeonly group not unlike NMA, with rules like:


So...it might be difficult to get to those Halo armors somebody stole from another game. But it can be done.

Someone (you maybe? I don't know, it's not important anyway) posted in the last few pages about F3Underground using ad.fly links to generate revenue from mod downloads. That makes me really uncomfortable, since I'm pretty sure using mods to create revenue is expressly prohibited by Bethesda. It's crap like that that would drive a company away from supporting the few good parts of mod communities.

The fact that they're generating revenue from crap stolen from other games that should be copyright restricted behind the paper thin veil of registration requirements strikes me as a Bad Thing.

Yeah. I was browsing their forum and they had Ad.fly set up for links to Nexus pages. But when they host mods that are almost entirely unauthorized rips of assets from other games, bolstered with Ad.fly advertising per download of said mods? Yeah. That's all sorts of ridiculous.

To be fair, with the like 20 clicks their ad.fly links get they're hardly generating any revenue, probably. That site isn't nearly as well visited as the nexus, which pretty much does the same with advertising before every download.

I'm using that Delay DLC mod, and so every time I trigger the OWB quest it always starts a bug where the Mysterious Broadcast plays, then stops and there is no music at all (no ambient stuff either). Then when I bring up the Pip-Boy screen or hit pause with the escape button the Mysterious Broadcast is playing.

I actually tried going to Big MT, and that seemed to fix it, but I'm worried once I go back to the Mojave it's going to go back to being all screwed up.

Hm, curious. I'm using the Delay DLC FOMOD as well, and I haven't had this problem. Although I was under the impression that I wouldn't be able to trigger the DLC until I was a certain level, which didn't turn out to be the case.

Are you sure there isn't a conflict between it and something else in your load order?

Happens to me as well. Other folk have no trouble, though, and neither did I when I restored New Vegas to a clean DLC'ed state then added only that mod.

Welp, just tried again with a clean install after getting nowhere with my modded New Vegas, and same thing happens when the only mod present is the full FOMOD version 1.5 of Delay DLC. So I dunno, guess I'll avoid the Nipton catchment area until I'm ready to head to Big Mountain.

I couldn't see anything, then again I'm sketchy using FNVEdit and I don't really dig all that deep. Also yeah, it said I wouldn't trigger LR until level 25 but I was walking just outside of Primm at around level 4 and sure enough.

I know the Signature Mods allow you to upgrade to the unique version of a thing without losing the actual bonuses, but does it work with the riot armor? Like, from the LR riot armor to the elite/advanced?

No. Only signature weapons has the unique/normal check, and even then, it's only for uniques present in the base game.

That ought to have worked...it checks what you have equipped in slot 2, which is the upper body, and then adds that one item to the 'signature armor' formlist. Unless Desert Scorpion itself is unusual in some fashion. Hm.

If you wanted to try that out again, find out exactly what item causes you to lose the bonuses when it's equipped, it would be appreciated.

I got NVSE running on the third re-install. Nothing changed, it decided to work I guess. I decided to do a hardcore run, but I kinda want the hardcore HUD elements to be displayed at all times. Typically I use Darn, but I didn't see an option or mod that incorporated that into his HUD. I went through the unification project and didn't see anything worthwhile there and also tried every variation of harcore + thirst + hunger + sleep + HUD on the nexus that I could think of. Any ideas?

e: apparently the elements exist in the DarN XML file, but they require FWE to be running, which I imagine is just a holdover from his FO3 version. Hmm.

e2: Primary needs is apparently the only option. Well ok.

Install DarN, install Primary Needs, then install Unified HUD and enjoy both :)

It's worse than FO3's in my experience in terms of slowdown and crashes, and suffers from the same bloat problems many New Vegas mods have. It adds things like slow animations for cash registers and those sacks full of goodies you find, unless they've since removed that.

loving hell this is such a headache. Can somebody help me in deleting the Data directory? I've already uninstalled New Vegas with 'delete local content' via Steam, but when I want to get rid of the remaining files (mostly mods) I'm denied permission. I'm running Vista but I'm the admin and have UAC long disabled, I think this is some additional security permission from Steam.

edit: False alarm (hopefully). No problems with deleting after rebooting the system.

You can get some from the commissary in the first room in LR i believe. They always stock it if im not mistaken.

At that point you might just want to switch to the nail gun though. Still silent, and its the fastest gun in the game I think.

An easy way to get shitloads of ammo just after running from Goodsprings to New Vegas is to do the first couple quests from Jack & Dianne. They can be done at level 1 and you get access to the Khans armorer and they stock ammo like the NCR guy at the Dam.

Deactivating all mods does not help either.

Mobster shotgun? The only real mobster way of playing new vegas is with the fire axe.

Also, I reinstalled, I'm using NVSE + FNV4GB, and NVSR, some .ini tweaks. Except I can't load the game. Just crashes like I'm missing a master, but I don't think I am.

I had this exact same problem--I think in the notes for the mod it says that you'll get the quest notice once the radio message plays all the way through. That works fine for Dead Money or Honest Hearts as the messages are short, but not for OWB. Everything returned to normal once I uninstalled that mod.

Question about Lombard Station -- is there a place to put these .45 pistols, war clubs, or .45 SMGs? Maybe I need to redo my load order but it seems like there's nowhere to put them. (Using version 0.4, I believe)

In particular, when I was looking to see if someone had made a competent unofficial patch while I was gone, I was linked to the inofficial patch. Can anyone tell me if this is any good? I could probably get by with just my custom bugfixes, but it would be nice to not need to crack open the GECK every time something breaks.
