I don't really remember FNV Redesigned leaning towards attractive. Project Beauty for Fallout 3 tended to have that problem (and everyone would use it anyway because the vanilla faces were awful), but I think he mostly got better for F:NV. Granted, Dracomies still takes a lot of liberties, but at least the changes are well documented and there are a lot of versions of the mod offered for different tastes. That said, I also don't think FCO* is as bad as some people here think  * to be fair, I'm using it in tandem with Redesigned and after going over the faces I don't like with the GECK and FNVEdit, so that probably colors my perspective

Weird texture fuckery in my TTW game: The top sniper rifle is the Reservist's Rifle with a TTWized version of UWWUT, and the bottom is the Tiger Siberian from a TTWized An Evening With Mister Manchester. Something is making retextured sniper rifles look like this, and since as far as I can tell, the mesh is the exact same in bot F3 and FNV, I have no idea why it's happening. (It's only for the Sniper Rifle, too, as far as I can tell; ever other weapon in Puce Moose's mods and UWWUT looks fine.) Is this something I can manually fix in FNVedit? Or does it require actual expertise?

Ok so right now I'm on the process of adding more clothes/armor to the compilation I'm making. I'm adding in a few minor little tweaks that make sense, like having a tiny chest next to the bed in Goodsprings with your old courier clothes in etc. Daniel Wyand in Primm also has a variant of the courier uniform you can pick up off him etc. I'm making a few little tweaks to Companions. I was thinking of giving Boone a wearable set of dogtags etc Are there any armours/clothes people would like to see me attempt to add? Please no immersion breaking stuff like ultra-futuristic body suits or MLP poo poo or whatever. I'm using Spice of Life, too, so suggestions might be already in there.

Not sure whether this is an issue with the vanilla game or whether some mods I've installed have broke it but I keep getting crashes in The Tops casino. Anyone know what's up? I didn't start having problems until I installed Weapons of the New Millenia. I uninstalled it and I still keep getting frequent crashes.

Right now I'm working on the "Cosmetic Enhancements" part which includes armor, custom races (playable ones, NPC tweaks are handled by a different esp), clothing and such. I definitely want to include LPAM but I seem to remember when using it before that some of the armors included are already included in Fook (I think) so I'd probably have to modify it slightly to remove duplicates as the Fook versions are going to get priority. I'm also including TFH Rugged Race because why the hell not. I'm going to try and see if I can add in Ling's as it seems to be the most popular/widely supported, but we'll see how that goes. Right now there's a little box next to the bed in goodsprings that contains your old courier uniform, covered with blood. If you don't want to wander around with bloody clothes, you can clean it at a work bench with some detergent and some clean water. Some of the armor I'm going to give to specific npcs. Like a hitman style dark suit is going to be given to the contract killer in the beyond the beef quest etc.

As was discovered in Skyrim, Bethesda's Gamebryo games suffer from sharing both normal RAM and video RAM together. So that means using detailed textures takes space from the game's memory, which is why you see those freezes during memory-intensive operations like loading a level. First, make sure you're running fnv4gb. Also, the new ENBoosts expand your video memory beyond 3.1 gigs, so that's a start. Look into removing texture mods or at least running them through that texture optimizer utility. A thing I use when I was desperate to make Skyrim more stable was a utility called Cleanmem which regularly purges your RAM. Some say it is a placebo and does nothing. I don't know, but both Skyrim's and NV's stability noticeably increased after installing it. See part 5 of this guide for details.

Another mod author who deserves to be better known: Hopper31 He makes pretty loving cool concepts. Removable Robot Arms is amazing, and fits into the "Why did nobody think of this before?" category. Works really, really well with Robco Certified. If you don't want to repair a robot, you can literally hack their arms off, fix them up with some scrap and turn them into functional weapons. He also has a sentry-bot companion that expands what Robco does slightly with a single robot type. His latest mod, the Portable Turret is pretty drat cool too.

rope kid posted:It's been a long time since I messed with any of the textures on weapons, but each weapon has a 1st person and 3rd person texture. IIRC, I think that bug happens when the 1st person texture is assigned to the 3rd person model. I'm not confident in that answer, but I think it's something like that. Edit: So I did some playing around, and figured out that Fallout 3 textures for the Sniper Rifle look totally different from Sniper Rifle textures in NV:   Even though the mesh doesn't seem to be any different, it seems to be mapped differently. On a hunch, I used FOMM to export the Sniper Rifle mesh from Fallout 3, renamed it to something unique, and moved it into \Meshes\weapons\2handrifle, then opened the mods in FNV Edit and manually changed the Model filename for the weapons to the renamed Fallout 3 mesh. Then I loaded up the mods to see what I had wrought. Now, discarded, the weapons look exactly like they're supposed to:  But when I equip them:   They go back to being jacked up. Yeah, I'm out of ideas now. Castomira fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Feb 20, 2014 |

Castomira posted:Weird texture fuckery in my TTW game: Castomira posted:Huh, interesting. Through what avenue then would I go about reassigning them? It's not something I've done before, but I'd like to try. I think I know more or less what's going on here, because I was messing around with it recently for WMX-WRP. It's actually a couple of things (probably), but both basically down to using WRP. The textures you posted there aren't from FO3 or FNV themselves - they're from mods - but they do show the problem: WRP changes the UV-mapping for the Sniper Rifle, and the texture layout needs to match it. Those textures in your first shot were made for the original mapping, rather than Millenia's altered version from WRP. Another problem is that the Sniper Rifle (and .44 Magnum Revolver) in WRP insist on using the textures from the game's bsa files rather than the replacer textures from WRP - but only for the 'third-person' models* (used any time the weapon is not currently equipped by the player). I have no idea why; I couldn't work it out. Something in the depths of their nif files, maybe. I included a workaround in a recent update to WMX-WRP that was just pointing the models at duplicates of the textures in a different location so they couldn't fall back on the bsa files... but then forgot to merge across a necessary accompanying change in WMX itself so I'll have to update that again sometime soon.  But for those two rifles specifically, you were on the right track. You just need to also point their 1stpersonstatic records at the mesh you extracted from the bsa file. *There's actually a bit more to it but that's what it mostly boils down to.

I probably have no idea what I'm doing, but it seems like it should be simple.

This is going to be a quick update, so not too much pretentious bullshittery from me this time around. Have some pictures:  First picture is taken from under the canopy covering the new platform that forms a second floor over the ammo shelves. I realized that for my eventual CASE support, I'm going to need a lot of extra shelf space just for ammo, which this platform will fill the role for. For those that don't use CASE, this platform is going to be filled with radios, maps and everything else I can think of that would make it feel like this is where military operations (for both the Enclave and Rangers) were planned and supported from. Second picture is looking down through the platform floor into the original ammo storage area. I'm still heavily experimenting with the lighting (which is why everything is so dark; most of the areas I've changed don't have any lighting yet), but I think I'm starting to get a feel for what I want. I'm really liking the look of under the canopies being relatively low lighting with harsh shadows, contrasting against the bright armory lights in uncovered areas. Although now an outdated picture, I think this one I posted before kinda highlights what I'm talking about :  Also, all the canopy pieces you see, I had to make. The NCR tents they're based off of only have a few pieces available, and only in full walled meshes. I had to create custom modified corner, left, middle and right pieces, and do them in both walkthrough (high-hanging) and partial (low-hanging) versions. They look nice enough that I can actually see them being useful in other projects. Hopefully when all is done, someone will find a use for them in their own mod.

So I'd like to give Spice of Life a go but I don't know about the body replacement. The mod page says "any Type3/Type6" body will do for women, but this is the only one they linked. Apparently there are other options, though - you guys got a recommendation? I'd rather not get a nude one. I'm hesitant about getting a body replacement because from browsing them I get the impression most of them are made by guys looking to inject some sex appeal to their wastelanders and make their arms all dainty and their armors fit snugly around their boobs. Makes me feel a little skeeved out. I don't want to add any of that nonsense into the rare game that's really good about avoiding that stuff. Spice of Life looks so nice though.

Ah yes, I noticed that. Sorry for being vague: I was asking if there were any other options than the one linked (because I like to browse), and then making a disclaimer that I'm not interested in any nude ones. How well do these body replacements play with any non-Spice of Life custom clothing/armors I might want to download? I'm guessing there'd be some weirdness, much like there'll be weirdness if I try to use Spice of Life with default bodies.

Very small LS update: No pictures right now because I'm in the middle of fiddling around with things, but I have learned something very important today (something I should have realized earlier, having programmed such a system in some of my own software). Static objects are actual individual objects inside the GECK, but when a cell is loaded in the actual game, the engine compiles static objects into as few meshes as it possibly can. Generally any non-animated static objects that share the same material will be compiled into a singular mesh; this is an optimization that is necessary in all games, even games with very simple visuals. The problem with this is, static objects become completely immutable, hence the name. All you can do with them is enable or disable them. This has proven to be a problem for me, as I've put together a lighting system that can be toggled. Using the machine shop as an example, you can toggle between all lights (very bright), incandescents only (bright with nice warm lighting), fluorescents only (bright with colder lighting), or all off. Being able to toggle off lights means needing to swap the light fixtures between their glow and non-glow variants. I actually wrote a nice script that can swap the positions of two references (and any references they're linked to in a reference chain), but as that doesn't work with statics, I need to find another method. Of course I can do what most people do and just overlap the two different meshes and disable/enable them as needed, but seeing as that system is completely unmaintainable, I'd rather just remove the option altogether and just leave one form of lighting that tries to compromise. At least the actual lighting itself is very easy to turn on and off.

I'm guessing there'd be some weirdness, much like there'll be weirdness if I try to use Spice of Life with default bodies. The type 3 body and is variants (type 6 for example) is used as a base for pretty much every female armor on the nexus, everything from super skimpy bikini armor to surprisingly lore friendly versions of power armor. Their all more or less compatible with each other. As Ddraig already mentioned, if you don't use them all you'll really notice is some texture issues on exposed skin. A female character in raider armor might have the texture for her arms displayed over her stomach for example. If this is a big deal for you, you may consider getting the texture but not the body mesh. In that scenario any custom armors will display correctly, but you'll have texture issues on stripped females - who will still have their skivvies on, as the underwear is a 3d mesh and not a texture. You may consider a few of the type 3 meshes to keep any of the skimpier vanilla outfits from looking strange, but wiping out and looting a fiend encampment won't result in a bunch of impossibly skinny dead naked supermodels scattered all over. Male body replacers are a bit different, as the options don't have a common base. That said, the replacers really don't change any of the vanilla armors beyond making the textures work correctly, so going all out with one of them won't lead to anything too disturbing. Spice of life has options for the two big ones; Breeze is probably the better of the two for your case. Roberts makes every dude in the Mojave look like a Calvin Klein model.

The power armor is a bit of an odd case. On one hand, it is well done and makes it more "appropriate" for a female character, on the other hand Power Armor is supposed to be this huge, intimidating thing that completely hides whoever's inside it. If you can tell there's a woman in there, it's kind of not doing part of its job. Same thing with the Veteran Ranger stuff.

Gyshall posted:Are there any mods out there that fix having to re-hotkey weapons when leaving casinos? Without extensively searching, I'm going to say no. Casino's take away your weapons, which remove them from hotkeys, and the scripting engine has no way of reassigning them back. This is why every sorting system you see in mods does the same thing; if you remove items from the player, there's no way to prevent destroying the hotkey settings. I was actually hoping NVSE has the functionality myself, but it doesn't, and it's something I hate when it happens.

Yeah, it's really incredibly annoying. On another note, is there anyone willing to test out a mod for me? I made it as a bit of a whim. It's a new perk, "Double Down", that you get at level 21 that unbans you from all casinos. I'm a bit poo poo at scripting so I basically want an idea if: a) it works and b) if it can be improved in anyway I created a custom icon for it so I'd also like some feedback on how it looks ingame.

I will give it a shot the next time my game crashes  I'm really pushing the engine to the max with texture mods + ENB + SMAA, ugrids up to 9 or whatever and just having a blast. Modded New Vegas Ultimate Edition = best open world rpg game ever??? also bummer about the casino thing, but so it goes. Running about 120+ mods (archives in MO, including textures etc) and gameplay has been pretty stable (only really crashing if I alt+tab) and just really enjoying all the content. Jsawyer leveling pace is awesome, even with Increased Wasteland Spawns, and I'm using DLC Weapon Integration and FO3 Weapon Restoration (instead of Project Nevada's Equipment module) and there are a ton of guns to shoot. Going to use Millenia's pack next playthrough, and the Unified Backpack Mod in the OP since I wasn't too happy with the backpacks in Project Nevada. e: Also the Fallout 1 and 2 ambient music mod is amazing and I recommend it to everyone.
