Hey Cirosan, I know that your Weapon Swap dealie intentionally isn't supposed to work with Honest Hearts companions, but aren't they still supposed to be immune to poison? Because my Waking Cloud is getting all torn to poo poo by cazadors, and post-battle the only way she can survive is if I sit there and pump stimpaks into her lazy death-wishin' rear end. The correct CCO module is installed (and the incorrect ones are not installed) in the readme-recommended order--otherwise all features have been working perfectly--and it's far down enough in my mod list that nothing else should be interfering. Any ideas? Trustworthy fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Jan 11, 2013 |

Adraeus posted:http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php/GetDetected Otherwise, how would you check if the player was taking an item that was owned by someone or not? Several problems I can see. You listed those functions, so I assume you're familiar with the GECK; tell me if you have an answer. 1. For this "witness" system to function properly, the game would have to detect two things at the exact moment the player picked up an item to see whether or not Karma should be deducted: One, whether or not the player is seen by someone, and two, if the object is actually owned by anything. This means that both of these would have to be running on the object in question before the player picked them up, which leads to the most glaring problem: 2. What kind of script block would this be used in? OnAdd Player? You would have to add the script to every item in the game, and some of them have scripts already. Gamemode, and have a phantom explosion use NVSE to add the script to all references that return as non-actors and non-creatures? Same deal - you could potentially overwrite an existing script and break something in the game. Also non-persistent references would be a crapshoot. 3. How would containers be detected? As in, if the player picked open a container that belonged to someone else? The best solution I can think of would be to run the script in a Menumode 1014 (lockpick) and/or Menumode 1055 (hacking) block, but then we run into the problem of what happens when the player actually takes stuff out of the container. 4. Could a Menumode block dynamically detect what container the player was trying to open? In my experience, I've used GetSelf to set a script reference, but that's been when I've had the benefit of working with NPCs, not containers, so I'm not sure how that trick would work. 5. The IsOwner function cannot detect public ownership. How would the witness system compensate if the player was taking something the game considered to be communally-owned? In short: What you've listed could make a witness system possible, but only for opening owned containers - and containers owned by a specific individual or faction at that. But how the script detect what container was being interacted with? Off the top of my head, can GetLinkedRef detect what object the player is interacting with when called? Or is there another command that will return the reference that a player is using? In a pinch, you could use NVSE's GetCrosshairRef, maybe. GetActionRef would be a possibility, but it doesn't work in Menumode blocks. E: Hey, come to think of it, how about GetIsUsedItemType or GetUsedItemActivate? Hmmm...

Also, use the console to see if Waking Cloud has CCO's Companion actor effect applied to her (she should). Oh I'm pretty sure I had Waking Cloud die from cazador poison after fights ended, too. I just didn't think anything of it because I forgot companions were supposed to be poison immune. I'm a terrible beta tester.  I was using the merged patch.

If for some reason you have an aversion to using console commands like Trustworthy mentioned, you can snag the cheat terminal. http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/45638 There isn't a description on the page anymore, but it opens up a terminal with all sorts of goodies, including a menu for adding/removing perks, as long as they're from the official game or DLC. Quite a few other handy features too, if you go through everything. There is a permanent terminal in Doc Mitchel's place, and an aid item to activate it through your pipboy.

I have all the other DLC, but wasting even a dollar on that is sorta annoying. Yes, but there is a way around that, but it's a little tricky. Get FNVEdit. You should already be using FOMM, so load up jsawyer.esp in TESsnip under the Tools menu. - Under TES4, find the MAST records that correspond with the pre-order DLC. You can see which ESMs they reference in the right box. Delete them and the DATA records directly under them. Save. - Make sure to check jsawyer.esp in your load order. - Load up FNVEdit. - Under the Cell and possibly also Worldspace records, if you fully extend the trees, there should be records named Placed Object. It should be fairly easy to discern which ones belong to the DLC packs, otherwise you can use the Fallout Wiki as reference. If you hover over the item, the name should appear in quotes on a tooltip. - If it's the only record under that particular Cell or Block, delete that entirely, otherwise just delete the record itself. - Press Ctrl+S, make sure jsawyer.esp is the only altered file, then save.

I would imagine that you'd only want "witness" constraints as part of specific quests, so you'd only add the script to certain quest-related items where you know there are potential witnesses.

OnOpen, OnClose, and MenuMode 1008 look like the right blocks for containers. You'd probably use GetItemCount to determine whether the player removed items from the container. Again, I'm not thinking of solutions that work for every item in the game; however, I suppose you could create a FormList that contains every item in the game. When the container opens, you'd capture the item counts, and when the container closes, you'd determine whether the item counts have changed. If they've changed, then you'd perform whatever actions you want. quote:4. Could a Menumode block dynamically detect what container the player was trying to open? In my experience, I've used GetSelf to set a script reference, but that's been when I've had the benefit of working with NPCs, not containers, so I'm not sure how that trick would work. If you attach a script to a container, I think the container will always be the base reference. The wiki says, "GetSelf is only useful when this information is accessed externally, or when the scripted reference's RefID needs to be passed as a parameter to a function like PushActorAway." I don't think either case applies if the script is attached to a container. quote:5. The IsOwner function cannot detect public ownership. How would the witness system compensate if the player was taking something the game considered to be communally-owned? The wiki says, "Note that IsOwner returns 0 if the owner is set to NONE, so it cannot be used to detect public ownership." This doesn't make sense to me because if IsOwner returns 0 if the object is public, then your condition should check whether IsOwner returns 0. Effectively, your condition should check whether an object is not owned. quote:But how the script detect what container was being interacted with? As before, the base reference of a script attached to a container is the container. If you're doing something else, then you might try GetContainer. quote:Off the top of my head, can GetLinkedRef detect what object the player is interacting with when called? Or is there another command that will return the reference that a player is using? In a pinch, you could use NVSE's GetCrosshairRef, maybe. GetActionRef would be a possibility, but it doesn't work in Menumode blocks. I don't think GetLinkedRef would work. GetActionRef looks like the right function. While the function may not work in MenuMode blocks, you probably don't need to use MenuMode blocks for what you want to accomplish. As before, you'd probably want to use OnOpen and OnClose or OnActivate.

Turtlicious posted:E: By the way Cream of Plenty, "Requiem for a Capital Wasteland" is now "A Tale of Two Wastelands" http://www.taleoftwowastelands.com/ and is still doing updates on their website. Tale of Two Wastelands is so much more stable and better developed than Requiem for a Capital Wasteland it's crazy. Last time I installed RFCW a long time ago and pretty much ended up having to scrap my FNV installation entirely because of how messed up it was. Though there's still a few terrain glitches it seems to encompass your mods really well, including NMC and stuff like IWS and MoMod. (And even The Armory! and Nevada Skies URWLified!) There's been a few strange glitches/clashing of the bad mods I like playing with like this dude being a robot with a minigun arm for some reason:  or Boone randomly informing me that we'll be near Nelson soon and that he's gonna kill all the Legionaries while in front of the Galaxy News Radio building. Folks are right in saying that it's more of a theme park than NV though. The dialogue is really god awful and the world makes no sense, but it looks pretty nice while shooting folks and creates a pretty decent atmosphere for each individual setpiece. edit: Seriously, "[Intelligence 7] So you fight 'the good fight' with your voice' on the radio."? Intelligence 7?     Though there's a massive bullet sponge problem for Supermutant Overlords/Supermutants in general, even at level 50. Though that might be because I'm level 50 and they're scaled up to level 50 too? Either way, it makes combat with them using that combination of "bullets are fuckin' lethal man!" mods really irritating since they seem to still take an insane amount of bullets to kill while only taking a few to kill you (with low DT, though). edit: Oddly enough, this has lead to the 'shoot the gun out of the enemy's hands' strategy to actually become ridiculously useful now, seeing as an unarmed supermutant with a broken gun is not as dangerous as a dude shooting a LMG into your chest. Also bonus really awfully written nonsense mercenaries jumping you all smug-like with a grenade about to explode in their face.

Adraeus posted:Sound advice What I'm thinking is that the containers and objects that would be affected by this witness system would be things that really would be consequential in the wasteland, like medical supplies. For instance, nobody would begrudge you for taking Doc Mitchell's Pre-War Hat, but taking all his Doctor's Bags would be a huge drop. And so on. The more I think about it, the more I think that Karma needs to stay a universal observer, so to speak, that always changes even if no one can see you. It's Karma, after all, and is rooted more in the spiritual and metaphysical than anything in reality. What the witness system could affect is more drastic changes in Reputation. As it stands, when you steal something, any item will piss off everyone equally. Going from the previous example, stealing a hat wouldn't make too many waves, but swiping all of Goodsprings' medical supplies might drop you straight to vilified status. Thanks for your thoughts. Good to bounce ideas off sometimes. If anyone else wants to chime in, feel free.

You actually start new games in Tale of Two Wastelands in the Fallout 3 game world, with a train bringing you back and forth between wastelands. I guess the idea is supposed to be that the vault kid is also the courier or something. I had a crashing issue with the birthday scene so I ended up downloading a save that was put at the character edit section before you leave the vault and that worked so there's that too though. The Pitt really reminds me of like, a gameplay prototype of Dead Money or something with how it's laid out.
