So I've noticed that in my latest playthrough that a dense layer of fog now obscures anything in the distance. For example:



I can no longer see New Vegas from Goodsprings Cemetery. Does this have anything to do with ENB settings, or is it something else?

I don't know what else you're running with. A weather mod, maybe? If all you did was install ENB and tweak some settings, and now you can't see over the hill, I'd say there's a good chance that it has to do with ENB.

From my personal experience I'd have to say 'not very'. Because of the weird scaling, certain enemies on the FO3 side are nigh invincible at high levels unless you've got super high powered guns. I don't think you have to start the game from a new character but I'm sure the mod page says whether you do or not somewhere. It's prone to crashing and BIG RED TRIANGLES EVERYWHERE errors as well. For some people it functions completely normally with no errors. For me, it functioned with a whole lot of errors. It certainly does work, but how well it works is up for debate.

Weird. When did you last play with it? Most reports I've seen on 4chan/facepunch/nexus report that it's no more crashy than normal NV and nobody really mentioned anything about missing meshes. You sure it installed right on your end if you got them?

As much as it pains me to say it, AWOP is really bloated and unbalanced, and it really doesn't play nice with other mods without a compatibility patch. I'd really just recommend uninstalling it and moving on. If you want more poo poo to shoot at, fine, but don't use it expecting deep gameplay. It's really a shame, since Fallout mods are really lacking in the 'dungeon' department. The closest you can get is FNV Interiors or Monster Wars.

TTW is designed to start as a new game (using the Vault 101 intro sequence instead of Doc Mitchel's) but I believe it can be used from an existing save. The red triangle errors previously mentioned mean missing meshes, which make me think CJacobs install might not have put the Fallout 3 .BSA archives in the right place. When I played it, the Vault 101 sequence was pretty glitchy, but as soon as I made it into the Capitol Wasteland, it was no worse than any other modded New Vegas setup, and smoother than I ever got Fallout 3 running.

I installed it last week to screw around with, and I used my existing level 22 save. In New Vegas, there's very little that can pose a challenge to me. Maybe Deathclaws. Everything else dies the second I put a bullet in them. The first enemy I met in the Capital Wasteland was a Super Mutant Master. It took more firepower to bring down than the Deathclaw Matriarch.

It's also worth noting that if you use a New Vegas save, there is absolutely no way you will be able to do anything regarding the Fallout 3 main quest.

Also this is neither here nor there, but the TTW forums are completely insane and full of people who want to force you to literally walk every step between the Mojave and the Capital Wasteland. The currently existing train method "breaks immersion" you see.

According to google, that's a mere 32 days non-stop, if it was scaled so you could walk that far in in the same number of in game days, that's just be what, 60 hours? (I can't remember how long a day is, about 2 hours I want to say?)

I just completed a run of FO3 using the latest version of TTW and it worked pretty well. I ran into a couple of odd glitches like having half of Rivet City's vendors milling about on the deck like they were taking a smoke break instead of manning their shops, but nothing that broke quests. The biggest issue is how using the New Vegas engine fucks up the balance of Fallout 3. It uses the New Vegas versions of all enemies, weapons, and armor. The common Fallout 3 super mutant is now the more powerful New Vegas version. Death Claws roaming the wild are now far more terrifying. In the intro sequence where you kill a radroach with a BB gun it took me five bullets to take that fucker down. It's still perfectly doable and even kinf of fun as a challenge but the normal difficulty setting is considerably harder. I didn't bother playing through any of New Vegas with the character but I would imagine it has the opposite problem in regards to balancing if you're playing it fresh off the FO3 main quest. Ghost Town Gunfight is going to be pretty trivial when you just rolled into Goodsprings with a tesla cannon.

Sadly, TTW seems to be the only way I can play FO3 on my Windows 7 PC. The vanilla game consistently crashes for me during the run from Chevy Chase North to the GNR building.

48 minutes. So it would only take about 27 real time hours. Much more acceptable.

Does anyone know what could cause my screenshots to come out looking vertically stretched? I've tried editing the .ini file, making sure the game is played in my default resolution but every screenshot comes out stretched with Fraps. The game itself seems fine when playing, but as soon as I screenshot, people end up looking a bit long faced. I don't have this problem with any other games and Fraps, just New Vegas.

Real Time Settler is really the only mod of it's kind I can think of. It's a bit rough, but it's generally good and even goes pretty well with Wasteland Defense. I also don't recall any issues with PN or jsawyer, though I've never used CCO. Though I've heard it also causes some huge save bloat, but I don't think I've ever experienced it. That is unless RTS was the cause of my three minute long loading times that made me abandon that run, and not all the little pointless cosmetic mods I packed haphazardly into a single esp with nvplugin.


On an unrelated note, I've just been wanting to say this, a very very long time ago someone posted a screenshot of a guy in the Nevada Skies comments who asked why there's a hacking cheat in the mod, and I'm the guy who made that comment before I had an account here. I just wanted to say this because I thought it was kind of cool that someone noticed my comment there. Okay, thanks. :ohdear:

Anyone know the command to change the "people killed" number? Been trying to go for "wasteland saind" (CCO perk obtained by not killing any person till level 20), managed to get to 10 and all of a sudden i wake up with 1 killed person out of nowhere (as far as i can recall) and my last non CASM save is way too far back to load. I'd much rather give myself a second shot at this by cheating than simply cheating my way to an extra SPECIAL stat :<

edit: Also i've no idea why the game keeps setting resolution to 1280x1024 every time i exit instead of keeping it at 800x600. Anyone have a clue as to why this happens?

I like AWOP for the reasons you mentioned. More dungeons and poo poo to gently caress up. It has some odd, if not stupid stuff but it pleases my explorer/murder needs. Guess I'll just finish this run with AWOP and do the next with Tales instead.

So it turns out having the 173 enb is causing this:



The second the steam overlay popped up to saw 'Screenshot saved', the very same overlay that usually corrupts the hell out of my ENB, it fixed itself. Only while the overlay was up, though.

Hell, pressing shift+f12 to disable the enb effects doesn't do anything.

Anybody have any ideas, or am I boned in any interior area?

Are you referring to v0.173 of ENBSeries itself? Because FNV is up to 0.194. If you're on 0.194 and it's just a particular preset, I got nothing.

(I don't think you have to match your ENB core to the version the preset was built for, if that's what's going on. I'm running a 173 preset on 194 and not having any problems other than the 'God drat that laser pistol is bright' specular issue)

I think it's a blast, I played the poo poo out of the Fallout 3 version and still do. It's the only town management mod I'm aware of, and is honestly a pretty good one. The translation is a little awkward sometimes, but gameplay-wise I have no problems with it. It really gave Fallout a new lease on life for me, I spent more time in my last playthrough building a huge technologically-advanced wealthy city than I did playing the normal game.

It can kind of break balance a bit in the late game, though, because once you've got a workshop built and enough resources you can have your workers build literally anything you blueprint - and there's an option you can toggle that allows you to blueprint armor and weapons, so you can do things like equip your entire defense force with T-51b Power Armor and A-321's Plasma Rifle or whatever.

If you're the kind of person that likes to sperg out about decoration, I'd recommend getting the Feng Shui mod as well, because it lets you place items in the world and pose them and poo poo like that. I stick a bunch of shelves in my marketplace and use Feng Shui to stock them with items, for example, just because it feels weird to have your 'market' be an entirely empty, barren room with a single, small, empty counter and a cash register.

Is there a simple fix for this? Like, will EVE unfuck the whole thing where a Laser Pistol will glare out the entire screen, for example? Or do I have to learn NifScope or whatever and fix it myself because no one's released a specularity fix for anything other than that one backpack or whatever?

(I really want to put that Laser Pistol I'm not using on that mannequin in Lombard, but holy drat I go blind if I look at it.)

I kinda wish Lombard would sort/use my brass/hull plastic, too. But that's just a minor thing.

I wonder if Project Brazil is compatible with RFCW. Given that RFCW was a lot more lenient with traveling back and forth between wastelands and allowed you to start wherever the hell you wanted. With certain patches, it was even kind of stable and some of the missing meshes could be fixed.

Also I may just be irritated at some of the decisions made by the TTW team. I don't recall Enclave of Super Mutants being completely over the top in RFCW, I could start in the Mojave, and travel was as easy as using a sewer grate. Immersive it's not, but it's drat convenient.

Still, if I got that monstrosity running (somehow I doubt it, at least not with any sort of stability), that's three wastelands. I still have both 4AE and 5.1AE in my downloads folder, along with various patches, so I might try to get it running at some point.

I really love Lombard but it really, really needs someone talented to come in and bash out an upgrade version. Unfortunately that's not me, despite my attempts at picking up the GECK. Fix the sorting/crafting to take advantage of all the GRA weapons, pop the weapon walls to display uniques and some of the special weapons from DLC (all weapon walls at all times) and maybe punch the lighting up a bit since ENBs make it a bit dark.

oh and fix CapnBeeb's perpetual problem with the satchel charge sorting :v:

I remember Omnicarus pointed out how there's even a part of the weapon wall - I think there's a flag on it right now, by the armor lockers, which is ready to pop open into another room. A wonderful room full of unique weapons, possibly?

like I swear this doesn't seem complicated, it's just so far beyond my (limited) GECK capabilities I just sort of open it up and tap on some things and then google GECK wikis and then get distracted and go play a game instead :v:

The GRA weapons and Ammo are factored into the latest version of Lombard, although the logic applied to some of the weapons boggles my mind (the Bozar is a unique Light Machine Gun?) Uniques take precedence on the walls over standard weapons, GRA uniques trump vanilla uniques, iirc.

The flag hides an unused door that could have potentially lead to another room; someone would just have had to make the room. Omnicarus put it there so anybody wanting to expand the station would have a place to start from without having to move a bunch of stuff around.

I have no problem making worldspaces in the GECK, but anything that requires Quests (like talking NPCs) or Scripts (Lombard... pretty much the whole place) goes right over my head. I tried fiddling with Lombard Station myself, but since it was made using a seperate .ESP patch for each of the DLCs, I had to merge everything together in FNVedit (which was kind of a pain in the rear end by itself) just to do simple things like putting in a few containers for stealthboys and repair kits... that I had to manually place the objects into in game because I don't "get" the scripts to make the sorters do it automatically. Omnicarus did a really great job making Lombard to begin with, but as far as making it "modder friendly" I think he really over-estimated the abilities of the people who would want to do anything with it.

Oh, by the way..

Kugyou no Tenshi posted:

Those weren't factored into Lombard because they come from Gtab's ammo mod (or Spooky's improved version of it) In theory, you would just have to find the script that places the lead/primers etc. in their boxes, and add the brass and plastic to whatever list it uses. Unless the script only identifies the lead, in which case you would have to change it to a custom formlist that contains the lead, brass and plastic... I'm pretty sure I tried doing this at some point and gave up.

Memory is a little fuzzy, I haven't played with Lombard for a while, since I realized I was spending more time hoofing it between traders trying to fill the ammo shelves than I was on any quests. Like, I was basing what weapon I would carry based on what ammunition I could pack without dipping into the boxes on the shelves. Never enough 5mm... always need more 5mm.
