I extracted the FXAA injector to my main FNV folder and now the game won't start  If I try to start the game it just starts the launcher again.

Tarezax posted:I extracted the FXAA injector to my main FNV folder and now the game won't start Well that's certainly odd. I've heard here and there that the dll hook doesn't work with some mobile graphics chipsets but I'm not sure if that's the thing in your case. I didn't really do much with this except change a few lines and sadly at the moment can just answer "Well it works for me", maybe they'll be some more feedback about how they work. (or not) Your game should at least run again if you remove the d3d9.dll. \/ \/ EDIT:I can just stress I heard, I don't really know if it's true. If you want to go through the trouble you could prob. try also to update your drivers. I'm sorry I can only give these standard answers.

rope kid posted:Sorry about the dependence on Courier's Stash, but I'm trying to get everything in the mod ironed out before Ultimate Edition DROPS. Recently, I've updated the unique CS/pre-order items to be moderately expensive (low hundreds) low-level uniques and I throw them all into Chet's store at the beginning of the game (i.e. the player gets no additional "free" gear from CS). I think it helps the initial balance a lot, but gives access to good low-level unique items in an early game area. No worries dude, it is still pretty sweet that you are doing this. Pumped about the ultimate edition. I like the idea of the pre-order stuff going into Chet's store as low level uniques. Maybe that, or have them rewards as low level quests and stuff. You should also do something about the (GRA) tag on the end of stuff from the Gun Runners pack. ~~~ My immersion ~~~ demands it!

You mentioned you're running with a 310m, which makes me assume you're playing on a laptop. I'm curious if you've also got an Intel HD Integrated Graphics mode, and both GPU modes are managed by NVidia's Optimus software (that's the way it works on my 550m). Do you have issues with games insisting on using Intel's HD Integrated graphics when you try running with custom .dlls?

Certain challenges in the GRA require using them so assuming someones coming in not knowing vanilla weapons from GRA weapons they kinda need to be there. Though on that note, would there be any way to fix the sturdy caravan shotgun that comes in the courer's stash? It doesnt actually count as a shotgun for the challenge's for some reason, so you dont get credit for Ne Ne Ne Ne... or "I've Got Shotgun" for using it, which seems like a glaring omission.

A rundown of the new version of my mod (and link to it) is uploaded here: http://twofoldsilence.diogenes-lamp.info/2012/01/jsawyeresp-v2.html I did not add the Sturdy Caravan Shotgun to the Ne Ne Ne Ne... list, but I did address many of the GRA tags. Weapons that are not unique to GRA (e.g. Plasma Pistol) but have GRA moddable variants have had the (GRA) suffixes removed and have been removed from the Master of the Arsenal weapon list. All vanilla versions can now use GRA mods. All GRA ammo types have had their (GRA) suffixes removed. The regular Fat Man can now use GRA Mini-Nukes.

My most recent playthrough started out as a "be a dick at all costs, kill everyone if you don't get what you want" archetype character but I wussed out immersion-wise and just ended up playing as 'myself' again because I couldn't bring myself to kill all the nice people in Novac. It's so hard for me to be emotionally detached towards this game.

I haven't found any muzzle flash mods, but the Flora Overhaul doesn't really affect your FPS at all, at least, it hasn't hurt me anyway. I installed the "actual desert-looking" version with less super tall green trees everywhere, so that might be why, but the only way you can know for sure is to try it yourself.

In Fallout 3, there was a mod called FWE that had options to reduce the amount of "placed" loot. That is, loot that was hand-placed in the worldspace, on shelves, desks, etc. Currently there's no similar mod for New Vegas, and I would definitely kill for something like that. EDIT: Actually, I've got more to say on the subject. Let me poke around and remind myself what else I would kill for. EDIT 2: Alright, so a couple of things. I can't find any details in the readme, but have you already made changes to creatures? Most overhauls modify NPCs, but overlook non-NPC enemies. By default, a lot of the creatures have pitifully low stats--especially at higher levels--and basically become little more than target practice. A lot of the perks and DT buffs are distributed unevenly, and the whole system could probably stand to be rebuilt (or, at the minimum, cleaned up.) Also, how does "Determined" work in Hardcore? What can heal the player, if chems don't? I noticed that healing power was omitted from the list in the readme, but I'm not sure if that's accidental or deliberate.

Speaking of loot, I really like how a lot of the game's completely useless objects (see: cup, paper weight) are pick-upable and even useable with the right skill/weapon. It's one of those things that adds a teeny tiny bit of realism because, yeah, that cup's not glued to the table. You can pick it up, even though it will do absolutely nothing to help you (it can certainly help Muggy, though). That said, I really loving hate how the game's completely useless objects are pick-upable. I have snatched so many useless spent bullets and clipboards and chunks of wood that I can never use nor be bothered to get rid of, so they just sit there occupying inventory space forever. It's just one of those things I am horribly torn over whether it's good or bad. EDIT: This is not really a modding thread post, but oh well, it's relevant to the current discussion anyway.

If it's what WMX adds, they're actually very useful for modifying melee weapons.

Is there a known bug with dialog with Emily Ortal? After I planted the bug I talked to her and my male character got both dialog options for Cherchez La Femme and Black Widow, and I'm not even using the male equivalents. It might be the jsawyer mod. (The only other mods I'm running are Lings, Tailor Maid, Populated Casinos Medium and Military Expansion Project) I'm running Hardcore and used Meeting People to get info out of her.

CCO alters creatures in a subtle but pervasive way: The DR plugin gives all creatures their own natural DR, based on their DT, just like you. This makes certain enemies considerably tougher. If you're looking for something more on a case-by-case basis (i.e., make all Feral Ghouls have more HP), that hasn't happened yet, but again, is certainly possible. However, I would really need to do more research on which enemies need a power-up and how, and how the developers already programmed their base forms. Finally, since CCO's chief concern is compatibility, these changes would need to be done in a way that avoids changing any base forms directly. Luckily, something like that is fairly simple, but a bit limited in what it could do. In regards to the Determined trait, here's an excerpt from the readme that should answer your question. If it doesn't, feel free to ask, and I'll be more than happy to explain further. quote:The complete list of chems that won't work on you if you have the Determined trait: Ant Nectar, Ant Queen Pheromones, Buffout, Jet, Dixon's Jet, Mentats, Med-X, Fire Ant Nectar, Ultrajet, Cateye, Tobacco, Fixer, Hydra, Rebound, Steady, Super Stimpaks, Turbo, Party Time Mentats, Psycho, Radaway, Rad-X, Rocket, Slasher, and Stimpaks. However, food, alcohol, Doctor's Bags, and herbal remedies (i.e., Healing Powder) still work just fine.

Been playing some New Vegas with the Armory mod and Project Nevada. Game's loving awesome, working on the Honest Hearts DLC currently. What are some good high-level guns that I should be on the lookout for? I'm looking for some sort of black, tactical as gently caress assault rifle (with holotech or red dot sights) for my main weapon and maybe a silenced pistol as a sidearm. Also, I'm doing a Logan's Loophole run and I really want to stay hopped up on chems pretty much constantly. What are some good sources of drugs in the Mojave? The Red Rock drug lab doesn't have very good stock, I'm running low on Mentats.

The Armory most likely adds loads of guns like that, but as far as official weapons are concerned, All-American and Lil' Devil (the non-unique version has an optional silencer) are probably the closest to your criteria.

Cream-Of-Plenty suggested these two mods earlier in the thread, and they have been a staple of my "hardcore" load order: Rise of the Machines and Creatures Give You Hell, both which do what he is talking about. However, they aren't exactly balanced for a Project Nevada game, but this could probably be a good place to start for rebalancing certain creatures/robots so that they aren't one shot kills (and at the same time, not extreme bullet sponges.) Your mod is awesome, by the way.

Does JE Sawyer's mod do a good job of turning the wasteland into a harsh survivalist experience, or is it still closer to vanilla? I only played this game for like a week after release, but want to pick it back up and am hoping to find something closer to when I used to play FO3 with FWE, back in the day. It sounds like Project Nevada might be closer to what I'm looking for, but the main thing I care about is making it so loot is seriously hard to come by.

Cirosan posted:Decreasing the amount of placed loot would certainly be possible, but we would need to narrow down the concept a bit. First, what would we consider "loot" for the purposes of this plugin? Just chems? High-level weapons? Armor? Ammo? All of the above? Furthermore, would we remove the loot entirely or just replace it with a crappier analog (i.e., replace a suit of Combat Armor with Reinforced Leather Armor)? This is definitely something I'd be interested in, but I'd need a little help coordinating it first, if that makes any sense. Referring to FWE again, their "Reduced Placed Loot" feature was more or less global: Anything that wasn't a unique item, quest specific, or otherwise important was somehow flagged. With FWE's in-game menu, you could then control the likelihood that a placed item (any ordinary chem, box of ammo, weapon, armor, or other useful consumable) would be removed from the worldspace. The curious thing was, the script (or whatever it was) would sometimes run slowly, and you could enter a room and see a bunch of placed items that would suddenly disappear. As far as I know, there was nothing in place to swap items out with similar ones; the item was either there or it wasn't. Overall, the feature was quite effective. You don't quite realize how much of your loot is from hand-placed caches until you can no longer rely on them being there every playthrough. quote:CCO alters creatures in a subtle but pervasive way: The DR plugin gives all creatures their own natural DR, based on their DT, just like you.

As Gyshall pointed out, those two mods are probably the best vanilla creature modifications I know of* and even they need some work to really mesh with other overhauls. For example, a lot of robots have DT buffed to 45-60 points, which can really, really suck if your weapons overhaul happens to change weapon damage values. I'd poke around those mods and see what the author's done. *There's another one called, "Harder Than You" but it's quite buggy and does a lot of arcade-style "weak point" stuff and other nonsense like plasma-explosion-spamming ants. quote:In regards to the Determined trait, here's an excerpt from the readme that should answer your question.

Does project Nevada (all 4 cores, default settings) really heavily nerf the service rifle? With 8str/agi and 75 gun skills the vats % rates are abysmal beyond 15 or so meters and even aiming down the sight seems less accurate than a 9mm at similar ranges. I'm really sick of defaulting to the cowboy rifle for everything.

If you're overwhelmed with fresh water sources and food, then the hunger and thirst system is reduced to feeding the meter. And feeding a meter is tedious and boring. If your game has a drastic shortage of both things, then suddenly it's a compelling system that can create tension and give you a very real reason to seek out traders (beyond offloading junk for caps) and forage. The problem is that it's difficult to balance a system like this, so I feel that developers err on the side of caution by throwing all sorts of consumables at you and telling you to gently caress off.
