I lvoe the attitude that people have about their mods like they actually own them. (instead of bethesda, who actually does)

It is just plain sad with smaller game communities like Mount And Blade because even if the mod dies halfway through and the modders vanish the assets apparently are protected by this magical sacred opinion because god forbid you share because modding a several year old game slightly might be that magical ticket to becoming the next John Romero.

Well, they have his old ego down to pat in advance anyways.

Hey, I'm shortly to head over to the Big MT but I hate the long restock time for the sink and the instant enemy spawns something fierce. I think a while back I saw a mention of some Big MT-related tweaks for these factors, can anybody point me in the right direction? Thanks.

More merged patches for CCO! This time it's Classic Perks and Damage Resistance that have gotten the fusion treatment. Download them here, and let me know how they work.

Incidentally, I haven't forgotten about that Wild Wasteland mod either; I just have a lot of irons in the fire.

I think between Manos, Twin Peaks, and Homestuck I'm all set to bridge the generational gap in one mod

Are these merged patches intended for all CCO users? I already use Project Nevada + CCO and use FNVEdit to generate a Merged Patch for those two plus all my other mods, should I install these new CCO merged patches too?

Gonna be picking this up once it goes on sale on Steam. Played the poo poo out of it on Xbox when it came out so I'm gonna be going with all the mods I can find to make it interesting again, balance or lore be damned. First thing will be to remove the level cap, since maxing out my dude is always the thing that makes me bored of replaying RPGs before I can finish them. The one that makes your level cap 100 is currently hidden in the nexus though, is it available for download anywhere? Failing that, any good alternatives?

Do you mean Project Nevada? If so, are these

Dynamic Crosshair
This feature causes the crosshair to expand and contract dynamically based on the player's current gun spread.

First-person Visor Overlays for helmets
Helmets and other headgear now get immersive first-person overlays and vision effects.
Based on the item condition, cracks and scratches will show up on the visor as well.

Immersive Health Visuals
With decreasing health, the player's vision gets weak and blurry, creating an immersive feedback mechanism for you current health.

possible to edit out somehow?

Yeah. That's the best part about it's rebalance mod; It's very customizable, and it's basically the main reason to use PN. The inventory sorter is a great reason to use it too. I just hate how it doesn't always like working with modded items.

It's worth mentioning that Project Nevada actually has real menus with checkboxes and sliders and is part of a new ESC menu listing, not just the in game dialog popups that a lot of mods use for configuration.

"I wonder if there is beer on the sun."
Is there a reason why my game could be crashing when I open containers or talk to NPCs? My game runs perfectly until that happens. It also wasn't happening before today, and I haven't installed any new mods either. I googled it, but it doesn't seem to be a common problem.

Memory issues, corruption of something, mod interactions/loving with lists. Is it ANY contianer/NPC, or specific ones? Did you run BOSS or anything anytime recently? gently caress with any XML anythings? Because it sounds like either a case of too many mods, some interaction loving up lists, or something loving with the menus. I had an issue where WME was ordered wrongly it hosed up any npc vendor to cause CTD's.

I never messed with XML files. But I agree with you on it probably being too many mods. I'll look on making a merged patch, see if it fixes it.

The specific containers are the mailboxes and a few NPCs, like Cobb. Other NPCs are functioning.

Has anyone tried Tale of Two Wastelands? My understanding is that it's the revamp of Requiem for the Capital Wasteland, and since Fallout 3 is bound to end up going ot 75% at some point in the steam sale, I figure I might be as well to give it a shot. Is it buggy? Any significant changes beyond just straight up porting in all the assets (like changing the bobbleheads or something)?

The merged patches just merge all of the DLC compatibility patches together; Project Nevada patches are still separate. They don't do anything the compatibility patches don't already do - they're just for people who have all the DLCs and want less mods cluttering their load order.

While it's necessarily as useful as help, if it's in the vanilla/dlc you can find everything on the fallout wikia, and if it's in a mod, there's a chance the modder posted stuff online.

Also, there's GBO. it's a console command from NVSE (Which didn't make it into SKSE as far as I know). It stands for GetBaseObject. You feed it a refID (like the one you get from click on ED-E, punch in gbo, and it'll return her original baseID. So you can use setEssential on her or whatever you like.

Well, I'd usually just check that on my phone. The problem is with mods that don't list formIDs on their page, the vast majority of them. But thanks anyway.

I'm having a bit of a problem. I did a clean install of all my mods and the game but when I deleted The Armory FOMM had an error and crashed. Now when I try to delete it it keeps giving me the error and crashes. So I just ignored it and added in all my mods again and now I have two copies of The Armory, I can't install either, and I can't delete either. I uninstalled and reinstalled FOMM and it's still there. How do I get rid of it?

Because it's awesome. The Secret Stash mod added like 60 new tracks that matched the song-quest names and they all work pretty well.

I play with it sometimes. Things have come a long way since RFCW, to the point where it's no longer a hassle to install. Some bugs still exist, but that's to be expected in a mod of this scale. I do have some complaints about it, such as they don't give you a choice of which wasteland to start in because MY IMMERSION or MY FANFICTION or whatever. You're starting in Vault 101, and you're going to like it. That, and it's still sort of wonky to get FO3 mods working with it, when they easily worked with RFCW.

Another complaint is that they add back in the FO3 perk list (barring duplicate/rebalanced perks), which at Level 30, well...Almost Perfect is STILL a bit ridiculous.

It is worth a shot though. It isn't perfect, but if you want to play both FO3 and NV again, it's a pretty good choice.

with catte-like thread
upon our prey we steal
I'm about to reinstall and dive back in New Vegas after a loooooong hiatus, and have a couple questions... Are the WME and WMX mods still roughly on par with each other; quality-wise? When I was last playing, WMX was still kind of catching up feature-/polish-wise, but I eventually did convert over and was pleased with the experience (so I've played with both).

Also, is Gtab's ammo mod in the OP still a good, relatively bug-free standard to stick with? The one I used to use (forgot the name) got taken down in the typical "cunty Nexus modder gets a critical comment, deletes everything in huff, leaves the community who betrayed him and boy won't we be sorry," fashion, and it never got updated with DLC content. A good ammo improvement/standardization/crafting mod is a must-have for me.

Erm, I'm not really sure I understand your problem. What is "the error" and what happens when you try to simply delete The Armory's files?

Is it compatible with existing saves? I want to take my courier across to the Capital Wasteland. I'm willing to imagine that my courier grew up in Vault 101 if the game wants me to, but I don't want to have to start over.
