Ariong posted:OK, I went over to the download page for darnified and got it all fixed up. Now, there's one other problem I'm having. I can't hear the extra songs that I've added to the Mojave Music and Old World Blues stations. The wavelength thing on the radio seems to go along with the music that should be there, but I can't hear it. The strangest thing is that CONELRAD and all of the vanilla stations are coming in just fine, and I have no idea what could be wrong. Are they in the right format? IIRC, NV Radio Extender won't cause any crashes, but if the songs aren't organized right/formatted right they won't play.

I've been wanting to make a mod for awhile now, but I was never sure what I wanted to make. I've got a decent understanding of how making guns work (thanks to Arenovalis' amazing tutorials) so I was intending to start there. What sort of things would anyone think work best when designing a futuristic weapon in this series? For reference, this is what I have so far:

I've got a decent understanding of how making guns work (thanks to millenia's amazing tutorials) so I was intending to start there. What sort of things would anyone think work best when designing a futuristic weapon in this series? For reference, this is what I have so far: For the Fallout series, the abundance of anachronisms gives you license to do pretty much whatever the hell you want. I mean, it runs the gamut from iconic Tommy Guns, to Cold War Era FALs and M16s, to modern P90s, to wacky energy weapons. Also, there's the fact that the world exists in some sort of bizarre alternate universe where civilization was incredibly advanced in certain areas, but significantly stunted in others (like microprocessors.) I think we're talking about energy weapons, so I'd abandon any sense of ergonomics--many of the IP's energy weapons have this rough, "still figuring it out" aesthetic to them. Maybe throw some tubes and dials on the receiver, or a colored light (or two). Prisms or a little fan? That might be interesting. Think about it being a tool more than a gun that was drawn and made in 20 minutes by a single person. As you're designing it, try to tell a story. Perhaps you can make it look like it wasn't all designed at once. The "main" part of the weapon--where all the action happens--was designed at one point, with certain materials, and then they started to figure out where to put the handle on it, and where to cover parts up to protect them. But then it couldn't hold a large enough charge, so they had to expand the receiver and move some stuff over here... Also, look at your gun and see if it makes sense. For example, you have a revolving cylinder that doesn't line up with the barrel, itself. And then you've got these strange sights, but there's a big cylinder in the way that would make it impossible to actually use them. That might even be a problem in the game, when you're trying to use the sights and the cylinder starts clipping into the camera.

For reference, this is what I have so far: I would go to https://www.polycount.com or some specialist thread on these forums that I haven't found yet for specifics, but I will say that the shapes of your barrel and the shapes of your grip and and revolver cylinder do not yet agree with each other.

You have a projectile based weapon with the bullets in the cylinder (and a barrel that doesn't line up with any of the chambers), but you also have some kind of futuristic cylinder thing on the gun too. Which is it, projectile or energy?

the idea was more that it was a revolver that held energy caplets more than anything. but in the end it really doesn't make a whole lot of sense that way. on that train of thought, I took the time to draw over the render and get a better idea in mind based on what everyone said. now it's just straight up energy weapon. there's more damaged parts and panels taken off for maintenance, moved the cylinder to face straight back, and had the handle is a replacement for what might have originally been there. also standard microfusion cell instead of trying to have the weird revolver ammo set up. that a bit better?

/\/\/\Fallouty as hell. Question about Lombard Station... I know Omnicarus has moved on, but did the scripting on the GRA plugin he put out for it ever actually work? Everything seems to be working fine for the base game content and the big DLCs, but GRA weapons and ammo aren't being accepted by the ammo sorter or weapon walls. Loading the ESPs in the Geck always crashes it for me, but after changing all the plugins to ESMs I was able to peek in and see that he has everything laid out in a separate cell. It seems like the scripts for the GRA content either aren't functioning or just aren't there. I just want to find out if it was indeed finished before I rebuild my load order from scratch.

I'm digging that. My favourite part of it would definitely be the Microfusion chamber. I would totally download that. To my knowledge there don't seem to be that many custom energy weapons that aren't included in some pack already. So this is cool for conveniency's sake. I like the idea of it being cobbled together, not fully completed, kinda like it was a pet project of some mad cowboy. Weapon design, for me at least, is really important. So I respect the idea of giving a weapon some character.

I really like the bolted on, not original handle. Almost makes you wonder if it wasn't originally a tool or part of some larger machine and it got fitted over the years to melt faces.

I tried the links in Omnicarus' most recent posts, but they seem to be dead. The GRA esp. is coming up with errors in FNVedit, but I can't make enough sense of what its telling me to figure out if its a conflict, and if so, with what. Before anyone asks, I've tried using merged patches and dropping it to the bottom of the load order with no luck. I haven't tried disabling every mod in the list and starting with just Lombard yet, so now that I know it was finished I'll start slogging through that process. edit: \/\/\/ I have the lombard esps all grouped together, vanilla first, then the DLC plugins in the order they were released, GRA being at the bottom of the list. I do wonder why Omnicarus didn't use an ESM, at least for the base version. I have a feeling that ESPs depending on other ESPs is why I can't load it in the GECK.

Is Lombard Station.esp placed correctly? BOSS autosort and FOMM sometimes place it below it's dependant ESP's. It won't cause a crash, but it will cause Lombard Station to bug the gently caress out.

Does anyone know if there is a version of the JSawyer mod floating around that doesn't require all the DLC? I don't have Lonesome Road or Gunrunner's Arsenal (Lonesome Road sounded like poo poo and Gunrunner's Arsenal sounds like a waste of money) so it sucks that it requires them. If not, is there an easy way I can remove those DLC's requirements with the GECK?

All I know is that when I started playing FNV again after my 660ti, I had a CTD on launch, and used FNVEdit to track the problematic plugin because it stops and goes woah the hold poo poo when it hits the issue.

It's the conclusion to the Courier's story, and deals with this Ulysses dude. It's also a pretty cool environment to fight in, makes ED-E rad as gently caress, and gives you some interesting choices. The worst part is that it is very Lonesome. You won't be meeting a whole lot of friends in the DLC. GRA is comparetively weak, but it adds a bunch of cool ammos and poo poo. Especially all them kickass shotgun ammos.

I ended up manually editing a bunch of stuff in my merged patch to revert some of the changes Puce Moose made because otherwise every Freeside thug had like 14 weapons. Ah, so that's what was causing that. Seems like this isn't the first time I've heard of Puce Mooses mods having a little too much sprawl.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:So FOMM's TESSnip, then? For example JSawyer mod changes the metal armour's agility penatly to a penalty to sneak. It added a new base effect to do this. If you just copy the metal armor's object effect, its entry will try to refer back to Jsawyer mod for the sneak-penalty base effect. So what you need to do is copy the base effect to your new mod. Then change object effect's entry to refer to your new base effect and then copy it over. I may be making this sound more complex or difficult then it is. It really is simple to do in FNVEdit, if a bit tedious and time comsuming. Raygereio fucked around with this message at 00:28 on Nov 18, 2012 |
