Cream-of-Plenty posted:The thing about the engine is, it's a fickle beast. It won't take advantage of virtually any of that 16GB of RAM--even with FNV4GB, you'll use something less than 4GB. It doesn't take nearly enough advantage of multi-core CPUs, either, so you won't benefit from the 4 (or 8 virtual) cores that i7 has. In fact, one of the most significant boosts to general performance comes from having a solid state drive. Ok, this is all good advice. I think I'll start modding tonight and see what I can see. I suppose I can't break anything permanently so I should just experiment until I get in trouble. EDIT: Capn Beeb posted:Been a long time since I shot an ant in the face.

Upmarket Mango posted:Strangely enough the FXAA tool seems to have little effect on AA for me and the SMAA tool absolutely murders my framerate while forcing AA through my graphics card (I'm using a HD 6950) grants me an improved picture quality while pretty much leaving my framerate untouched. Really? I always use the SMAA injector on games with my 6950, and it never slows anything down, F:NV included. Also, if anyone uses the FNV4GB patch, you may notice lip-synching being horribly off. I'm pretty sure others have had this problem and I wish I knew what fixed it.

Just noticed that the infinite ammo mod for companions listed in the OP appears to clash with JSawyer by changing some of the same ammo lists. For example my 40mm mercenary's grenade rifle would only use the default ammo type and refuse to take any special ammo such as the pulse or plasma until I disabled the companion ammo mod. I haven't tested further but Fnvedit showed a couple of ammo lists in red so watch out for that if you have both mods installed.

Any idea what could be causing my game to be racist? Most people that should be black, the Van Graffs for example, still have their limbs etc in the correct colour, but their faces are near albino. The caucasian, asian, hispanic textures seem to be unchanged.

The project reality mod absolutely killed my framerate with any of it's features turned on. Hell, the whether effects made my framerate come crashing down. This is on a 560ti/i5 2500k/8GB rig mind you, with FNV4GB.exe enabled. A shame, because the effects are pretty cool.

Apparently I'm an idiot and an rear end in a top hat, since I didn't notice that A) Omnicarus hasn't posted in like 8 months, B) It was actually The King of Swag made the patch for the 20ga stock error (the one where it removed 24 rounds from the ammo box for each 12 it stocked), or that C) Omnicarus probably would have known how to patch an ESP since Lombard Station does rather a lot of it - and probably wouldn't associate the Lombard Station base ESP with Gun Runners' Arsenal unnecessarily. Sorry, dudes. For the record you use TESsnip to clone the main ESP [in this case Lombard Station] into an ESM, then use FNVedit to associate the ESP [LS-GRA] that will patch the ESP [LS] with the new [LS] ESM instead of the [LS] ESP, make your changes to [LS-GRA] in GECK, then reassociate it with the [LS] ESP. Anyway, I fixed the 20ga stocking error - cleanly this time. No more crashing on exit and no other ammo stocks appear to be broken in testing. Grab it here. Still haven't figured out how to get the Heavy Weapons wall to take in the GRA Fat Man (today was my first time ever in GECK), and until I do, I'd rather not have it show up on the wall if you stuff it into the wall manually. dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 22:33 on Aug 6, 2012 |

I think I'm having issues then because I've enabled that mod in the Package Manager and I don't see it ingame. In fact, neither that nor Project Reality seem to be working, though I have no errors at all. Right now my load order is strictly: FalloutNV.esm DeadMoney.esm HonestHearts.esm OldWorldBlues.esm LonesomeRoad.esm GunRunnersArsenal.esm ClassicPack.esm MercenaryPack.esm TribalPack.esm CaravanPack.esm The Mod Configuration Menu.esp ProjectRealityMkIv5HDR.esp Total active plugins: 12 Total plugins: 12 All the regular Fallout stuff (the first 10) are bold type whereas the last two are not. Is that normal? EDIT: Ok, it seemed I didn't have NVSE properly installed, however now the Mod Configuration menu gives me an error when I pause the game. It indicates that either UAC/Firewall is blocking it or I need to update my Visual C++ Redistributable, but I have the newest version. Any ideas?

Maybe a dumb suggestion but maybe running as administrator? I've recently gotten back into New Vegas and I always run the game from the FOMM if that matters. And yes, it bolds every .esm. If you are running only Project Reality I don't think you need the script extender. If you don't have MCM it just gives you an item under the AID listing that lets you change some basic settings, although I personally don't think there's really any settings that need changing. It's pretty great right out of the box. Also I'm not sure what you guys mean by 'installing' NVSE. I just unzipped to my New Vegas directory.

Ok, starting to make progress. New question: I'm using WME since that looked fun and since I have all the DLCs and Gun Runners, I needed all the mods I think. This is my load order now: FalloutNV.esm Weapon Mod Expansion.esm WME - DLCs.esm WME - GRA.esm DeadMoney.esm HonestHearts.esm OldWorldBlues.esm LonesomeRoad.esm GunRunnersArsenal.esm ClassicPack.esm MercenaryPack.esm TribalPack.esm CaravanPack.esm The Mod Configuration Menu.esp WME - GRA - Vendor Reform.esp WME - GRA - Unique Integration.esp WME - GRA - Complete.esp WME - DLCs.esp WME - GRA - Weapon Integration.esp Weapon Mod Expansion.esp ProjectRealityMkIv5HDR.esp Total active plugins: 21 Total plugins: 21 Does that look about right? How do I know if I've been successful with the weapon related ones? I didn't get an installed message the way I did with Project Reality and the Mod Menu.

It's not right, but running it through BOSS should fix it. Your .esm files are all jumbled up and the WME plugins are mixed up, too.

I'm having trouble getting MCM to play with the latest version of Darnified UI linked in the OP. If I have Darnified installed then the MCM installer complains it can't access its files when I try to install it. Removing Darnified and installing MCM works and performs correctly in game. The issue seems the be the start_menu.xml file in the Data\menus\options folder in my New Vegas install. Both Darnified and MCM want to put their own versions in. Looking at the MCM install script suggests it tries to modify the xml file if it finds it already existing, but it isn't working. I tried to merge the files manually which seemed to work until I got into the game and MCM complained that it couldn't access its files and I should disabled UAC. I know UAC isn't the issue as my New Vegas install is on a different drive (and has the security set to let everyone write). I also tried unsetting and setting the archive invalidation in NMM. The latest version of the Visual C++ runtime is installed. Does anyone have any other suggestions on what to try?

Disabling it fixed the problem but I'd like to use it if I can. Most commonly, a plugin is being loaded before a plugin that is it's master. Check your load order. However since you just installed TG's armor mod, does anything you have installed already modify the Goodsprings gas station's garage? That's where TG puts all of it's armor in a set of footlockers (against the left wall). You might want to use FNVedit to see if there are any serious conflicts happening there. chiefnewo posted:I'm having trouble getting MCM to play with the latest version of Darnified UI linked in the OP.

You may need to UAC off or run FO:NV as an administrator. If it's your first time running MCM, i think it needs to make an .ini file somewhere. Darn and MCM should just inject code into those XML's (much like PN, Advance Recon Tech, oHud, uHud, and basically everything Gopher did in that area.)
