In other news, Nexus has finally locked Shrapnel out for what I can only assume is the commercial assets sitting in his mod for years now. Only took them a few years between his FO3 release 'til now, but maybe Nexus is trying to be less hypocritical these days too and are starting to come down on their popular modders/mods more now.

Davoren posted:As someone who hasn't followed Fallout modding too closely until now, what was he ripping off? BF2142 weapons that make up the bulk of his energy weapons and STALKER weapons... though I tend to disagree with Nexus' viewpoint that using STALKER assets are allowed by GSC via their permission consent. There is no way Nexus can make sure the end user actually owns the STALKER games, and therefore I don't think they would legally be allowed to host those files anyway but they went ahead and did it anyway so I guess it's "okay". If you're going to promote legality first and err on the side of caution, I'm not sure that their decision to permit hosting STALKER assets was the best thing but that's a whole other topic of discussion. With the BF2142 guns though, he even went so far as to not list them as part of the weapons in his mod, though he had a screenshot or two of them in the background in his images so he was actively trying to hide the fact that he was using commercial assets. Just took a few years for them to catch on, I guess. Of course, The Armory is also using all that stuff and more, but then we've never promoted the mod publicly or even have any interest in going beyond SA. That and we've never hidden the fact that we're using it, either. In our minds, if you own the original games that they came (and we, the ones working on the mod, do) from then enjoy 'em. If you feel guilty over it, then buy the games and chillax.

I'm trying to reduce the number of skill points that I get upon leveling, but I'm not having much luck. I should be able to simply reduce the value of "ilevelupskillpointsbase," but no matter what number I set it to, it doesn't make any difference at all. From what I can tell, other people have had this problem too. Does anyone know a way around this or am I doomed to swim in skill points for all eternity?

In case you can tolerate a mod doing it for you, Project Nevada lets you customize the number of skillpoints per level in addition to a bunch of other variables. It's entirely modular, so you can ignore all of the other content it offers.

Y'all mind if I skip directly to page 287 and ask a bunch of questions after reading the OP? What is the simplest way to skip directly to the main menu on bootup? What is the simplest/most reliable way to fix the stutter/hitching when panning the viewpoint? I saw the Stutter Fixer in the OP, but its readme says it doesn't support all versions of Vegas. I tried the FPS Clamp option oin my first playthrough, but as I remember it didn't fix it completely. I'm running an ATI 6970 if that matters. This will be my first playthrough with any of the DLC. Is there an agreed upon order and/or level requirement to playing the DLC? The Delayed DLC mod forces a DM-HH-OWB-LR progression, is that optimal? Are Project Vegas and JE Sawyer mutually exclusive? I'm gathering that PV is more DLC friendly than Sawyer. Not sure which to use for my first runs through the DLC. Is Sawyer adjustable like PV? I like some of the changes that I read about Sawyer that make the sleep/thirst/food needs more imperative and also a lot of the damage and weight adjustments. However I don't like the severe reduction in carrying weight and effectiveness of some chems. I know I'll think of more as I start layering the mods on. Thanks.

I'm running an ATI 6970 if that matters. Okay, so here's the thing: Unless you're running on a really nice SSD (and even then), you're going to have to deal with some stutter. The way the Gamebryo engine works--regardless of how powerful your system is--you'll see some stuttering. You'll never, ever, get completely get rid of it. Anybody who says they know somebody who has a computer that never stutters while playing FO3 or NV, they're totally lying. Things you can do to improve your experience: 1. Get a Solid State Drive. 2. Keep your ordinary drive regularly defragmented. 3. Use the Stutter Remover in the OP (works with the latest version of New Vegas.) Install the file, boot the game up once so it can create a config file, then exit and start messing around with the config. Try setting the max and minimum FPS to reasonable limits, like 45 and 15, respectively. By enforcing a ceiling on how hard your GPU has to work, you can sometimes help get the CPU and GPU on the same page, stabilizing FPS and effectively reducing stutter. 65 FPS isn't any good if it's inconsistent and prone to sharp, 30+ FPS drops. quote:This will be my first playthrough with any of the DLC. Is there an agreed upon order and/or level requirement to playing the DLC? The Delayed DLC mod forces a DM-HH-OWB-LR progression, is that optimal? By default, there are suggested levels for the DLC, but nothing is set in stone. You can honestly play any of them at any level and still have fun. Order-wise, I think the consensus is DM - OWB - LR and then HR whenever you want, since it isn't connected like the other three. However, I personally feel that OWB - DM - LR makes more sense (with HR whenever you're in the area.) Also, Delay DLC doesn't force a particular progression. If you get close enough to any of the DLC areas, you will still trigger their quests, regardless of your level. The mod just reduces the range of these trigger-areas, so you aren't berated with new quests in Goodsprings. quote:Are Project Vegas and JE Sawyer mutually exclusive? I'm gathering that PV is more DLC friendly than Sawyer. Not sure which to use for my first runs through the DLC. Project Nevada is friendlier in the sense that it doesn't require all of the DLC. Last I checked, JSawyer.esp requires everything, including GRA and that little preorder pack compilation (I'm forgetting its name.) PN and JSawyer.esp aren't mutually exclusive, per say, but one will overwrite some of the changes the other makes--depending on your load order. From what I understand, none of the conflicts are game-breaking, and they otherwise work together just fine. quote:Is Sawyer adjustable like PV? I like some of the changes that I read about Sawyer that make the sleep/thirst/food needs more imperative and also a lot of the damage and weight adjustments. However I don't like the severe reduction in carrying weight and effectiveness of some chems. No, I don't believe JSawyer.esp is adjustable. Although you could open the .esp up in FNVEdit and manually change values.

Thanks a ton for those write ups. I understand the limits of PC hard drive streaming, and maybe I'm using the wrong word to describe what I'm seeing. When I'm standing in one spot, and haven't moved in a little bit, I'm assuming that the game isn't streaming at that point. Yet when I rotate my view with the 360 pad at a constant rate, there are almost always little hitches in the smoothness of that rotation, usually one a second. Maybe that's exactly what you meant but I figured I'd clarify. I'll give the stutter fixer mod a go.

I found the best way to improve the framerate by a big margin is to disable AA and use the FXAA injector to get antialiasing that way. On the other hand, all the stutterer remover ever did for me was worsen game stability by a lot.

I'm looking for a simple mod to increase weapon sway/decrease accuracy unless your weapon skills are up to par. I've tried using the XFO accuracy revamp, but it seems to be buggy and the fix that someone made is no longer online. It's a pity, since it sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. Does anyone have any recommendations?

If so, try the solution I gave you regarding Fallout Stutter Remover, as it might be connected to framerate. Playing around with your FPS caps might alleviate or minimize the issue.

I played through with MTUI fonts the first time through. Something better now or stick with it? EDIT: Just activated it and it wanted to overwrite a bunch of Project Nevada stuff which I disallowed. I just preferred the smaller fonts. Also, what about timescale dickery? I thoroughly played Skyrim with a pretty slow timescale and liked it a lot. Are timescale mods, chiefly dynamic timescale mods, known to cause problems with overhauls like Project Nevada and JSawyer? Copper Vein fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Mar 18, 2012 |

physeter posted:Any tips on making Naky's Armory and Weapon Mod Expansion get along, or is that not going to happen? Both mods should work without any adjustments; the Armory has its own weapons and weapon mods. However if you use the Armory's leveled list plugin, you'll want to use FNVEdit to create a merged patch or Wrye Flash to create a bashed patch, to make sure all of the leveled lists from various mods are used and working together.

Sorry by that I meant for WME mods to be applicable to Naky's guns. I'm not getting crashes or anything, I'm just bummed that I buy mods for 9mm and can't put them on much other than the vanilla 9mm. Also, most of the mods I do buy don't work on even the vanilla guns. For example, assault carbine forged receiver doesn't mod onto an assault carbine. What am I doing wrong?

I'm not sure since I don't use WME/WMX myself, but Armory mods will only work on Armory guns and they're labeled as MOD-TA. Most mods are 'universal' in the manner that a silencer mod from TA will magically work on any gun in the pack that accepts a silencer. This is to keep the amount of mods in the pack down to a not insane level. I'm not sure how WME handles it, but it's quite possible that if you use it the stock mods no longer work on stock weapons and you'll have to use the WME kits instead?

Cirosan posted:That's one of those GMSTs that doesn't support other values - you can change it to whatever you want, but it won't actually work. A good workaround for this problem is to create a perk that modifies skill points gained and add it to yourself. The entry point you would want to use is "Add Skill Points", and if you're trying to decrease the number of skill points you get, you would add a negative value. For example, you'd open the "Add Skill Points" entry point and plug in a value of -5, since the entry point only supports addition. This is what I wound up doing, thanks.

Does anyone know of anything that would change how certain parts of hardcore mode work depending on how hungry/thirsty you already are? Either having hunger and thirst increase slower the higher they already are, or having the same food items work better the hungrier you are. I was thinking that if you did this, then balanced the whole thing to be a lot harsher, the player might spend a decent amount of time on the road with mild hunger and dehydration, and could plausibly get into a bad situation, but could then ration their supplies and avoid dying outright for a while. If there isn't anything like this, would anyone be interested if I could look into how it might be done?

For anyone curious, the WIP I'm uploading tonight for the latest on The Armory more or less wraps up the addition phase for 3.0. Anime Schoolgirl starts his balance/leveled lists side of things with it. I don't believe he's completely overhauling everything like he did with 2.5 again and if not, I imagine things will go relatively quickly on his end. Of course, it's done when it's done though.

I think the problem is that the values for hunger and thirst rates are currently linear, and this would require something other than that. I'm not sure how the engine handles, say, quadratic values.

The other option, that I've actually just started working on, is just adding a huge number of conditions to every food item. That is, restore dehydration an additional X amount if dehydration is greater than number Y, maybe going in increments of 50. It's tedious as hell though, and I can't be sure how balanced my changes are. My current thinking is to start everything at ~75% effectiveness then go up exponentially*, on top of doubling the thirst/hunger rates. *I'm not actually bothering to stick to the math, purified water for instance starts at 35 then the bonuses go 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 etc right now. Does any of this sound worthwhile? Electric Pope fucked around with this message at 03:31 on Mar 19, 2012 |

I don't know of any such mod personally, although I will shamelessly self-promote Mysterious Broadcast: Extended as it's available in all areas being a station added by DLC. EDIT: Is there still enough interest in New Vegas that it'd be worth my compiling another station extender? I've floated the idea of doing either a Black Mountain one or an extension for the radio that Honest Hearts adds. Either that or maybe a smaller one that extends non-playable radio stations, like the casino-only ones or the one that plays at the King's place.

Yeah, no, I'd never do anything like that. It always pisses me off when a mod adds a bunch of poo poo it doesn't need to. Been playing Skyrim a bit as of late and a ton of mods for it do stupid poo poo like that. If I did Black Mountain, I'd probably just make something real simple like letting you switch the station back on after Tabitha leaves, and maybe something like rigging a signal booster a la Fallout 3 so you can hear it everywhere. For style, I'm thinking a mixed bag of different genres of songs with varying levels of quality, since Tabitha was too busy being out of her damned gourd to really bother with the recordings.

Personally, I feel that a lot of the songs that are currently on Conelrad would be appropriate for Black Mountain Radio. Most of it is really silly stuff about communists or the bomb that really emphasizes the Cold War aspect of the setting (and fits with Tabitha's craziness). I'd have done it myself if I could figure out how the hell radio stations actually work.
