Dose any one know a way to get 2 perks every level, I know its overpowered but I'd like to use more perks in my next playthrough.

Theres a trait you can take to get a perk every level. May be from jsawyer or CCO or PN. Not sure. Comes at the cost of half your DT and 1/2 the health from healing items.

Probably CCo since PN definitely doesn't add any traits and IIRC JSawyer doesn't either. You can also use Project Nevada's rebalance menu to set one perk per level. I don't think it's possible to get more than that short of consoling in perks manually.

In CCO it's called "Fear the Reaper" and it makes it so you get a perk every level, but your damage threshold is halved, and you get less benefit from healing items.

So I did a thing.



Was on my mind for a long time to do and just put it off and put it off. It's done now. Handed the completed file off to the authors of the model/texture for them to decide whether or not to release it on Nexus. Animates more or less as well as can be expected for a blackpowder flintlock without proper animations; probably smoother aesthetically than the Colt 1849's animations.

Are there any calipers you'd like to see in what I'm tentatively calling ARMS? The commie intermediate cartridges are on the only real rounds I have down so far, and I'd love some input on where to draw a line in the sperg.

The usual russian rounds that are more or less covered by most of Millenia's weapon releases thus far. .40S&W, some form of .300/30-06 I guess but .308 satisfies me for these? Comedy .950 JDJ option. Honestly, the base game covers almost all the common rounds to start with and anything more than that and maybe a couple more you start getting to spergy levels (for me).

I did forget about .40, but .30-06 was on the list of 'probably', where I also have 9x39mm. I also have 7.62x54r on there, though I dunno if there's any guns you guys have that actually use that (And if you don't, you should, there should definitely be a high-res Mosin-Nagant).

7.62x51mm NATO, but it's more or less covered with .308. 7.62x54mmR for a lot of AKs and variants. 5.45x39mm for more AK-74s and variants. 9x39mm for the Val, Groza, SR3, VSK, VSS, 9A91 and some other newer Russian rifles. 9x18mm for the some of the more popular Russian pistols.

Honestly that's about all I can think of that is used by really popular Russian weaponry. Just like anything there's a ton of obscure stuff or well known stuff that was really only used by one or two guns like the Tokarev TT but adding stuff like that is where you start getting overboard IMO.

Well for v1 I hope to improve the existing ammos, fix any weird things, and add enough ammos to make Weapons of the New Millenia accurate. Subsequent versions will include extra calibers for all of your crazy moon calibers and modding needs.

I'm thinking of adding 7.62x51mm as a surplus for .308. 7.62x39 is not the same thing as 7.62x54, by the way. AK's don't shoot x54r.

Do you guys (or anyone in thread, really) have any requests for any specific calibers or subtypes of ammo? New Vegas already has a pretty good selection available, and I intend to mirror it where appropriate for new rounds.

In my own game I just called it the Tokarev Model 213 and said "close enough". Since it's a Chinese variant, that seems to fit in well with the Sino-American War stuff in Fallout lore, actually.

I was confused about your post until I realized you were talking about the gun itself and I was refering to its ammo :laugh: I never worry about the lore when it comes to the weapons I release with Millenia. I like to justify it by saying that Tactics had quite a bit of fairly recently designed and created weapons like the P90 so there's no real reason to think that the accepted timeline split of the 1950s instantly meant that all firearms after that period wouldn't have the same timeline of creation either.

Right, sorry; I was a bit vague there. I meant that I called the gun that since the Model 213 uses 9x19mm, which is already in the game of course.

For Ferals, I'd recommend "Ghouls are People Too"

http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/46583/

Adds a few little things to the ghouls to make them look more like former humans. Rather subtle and neat.

There's also this:

http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/38727/

Which is pretty drat detailed/gruesome.

While we're on the subject of ghouls, I'm adding in Yukichigai's "Playable Ghoul Race" to the compilation. I feel it's the only new race that is lore friendly enough for inclusion. I guess it makes more sense that you might be a ghoul than a robot or a super mutant.

I've tweaked a few perks to make it so that they're ghoul exclusive, or locked out to ghouls (so if you're a ghoul, you'll be able to have an affinity for ferals or be a glowing one, but you'll not be able to get any of the charisma-specific perks etc)

Also updated all ingestibles (again) to have a lesser duration for ghouls or just be plain bad for them (like Rad-Away/Rad-X)

I'm thinking of including FCO's two "ghoul" races as alternate versions of the vanilla one, and maybe making the half-ghoul preset be a sort of compromise between the two (lower penalties/bonuses, access to more/less perks etc)

To escape the closure,
is to become the God of Swag.
I only recently got back from my Arizona trip, but when I read the posts that were made in this thread while I was gone, I saw that there was a request that when I released the mod, that I include a text file that listed all the items in displays.

I thought he brought up an important point that I had overlooked before, but just throwing a list into a text document feels lazy and inadequate. So I went and added this:



There is one flag for every item, and when you click on it, it opens a menu that gives you these options for the item it represents:

1) Take All
2) Get Count
3) Un/lock

Take All does as the name suggests, and takes all of that item out of the display. This option is only available if the item is unlocked. Get Count tells you how many of that item the display can hold, and how many you need left to fill it. Specifically, it will show a message box with something like this: "The display has room for 5 'Doctor's Bag (s)'. 2 are still needed to fill the display."

Finally, the lock/unlock option allows you to do just that, lock and unlock that item in the display. For instance, if you were to lock the RadAway, then you can no longer take RadAway off the shelf, and more RadAway can't be put on the shelf. The idea is that if you don't want the sorting system messing with that item on your display for aesthetic purposes, or if you want to keep whatever is on the shelf as backup (so you can't accidentally craft with it), then you can lock it and ensure it isn't messed with.

Because I feel that anything out of the ordinary needs some backstory as a form of in-story explanation, the little flags actually are little Nevada state flags that have been modified. The explanation I'm giving (all in note and terminal form) is that the Rangers found a box of little cocktail flags buried deep in the storage room. The cocktail flags were likely originally intended for a state run celebration of some sort, and through the years, somehow journeyed to the rear end end of Clark county, buried in an Enclave storage room. Some of the Rangers are actually cited as not being entirely comfortable or familiar with having a safe roof over their heads, and neatly putting equipment away probably isn't a strong suit. So in a fit of boredom and exasperation at the mess, the leader (whom Omnicarus cited as Rob) sat down, cut out some stencils, then bleached [and fluoresced] the little cocktail flags using a solution of Abraxo cleaner and Nuka-Cola Quartz. He then went around and pinned them up, as a bit of a passive-aggressive "This is where poo poo goes, make sure it doesn't stray" move.

As for how complete all this is; all the scripting that makes it work is already done, but this is the only shelf that is currently flagged. Doing the other shelves just requires creating the appropriate textures when needed, and putting them into place. Actually linking each individual flag to a set of items is super easy and just done through a linked reference. I also completed the library display (minus the flags).



Once adding the flags is done, I'm trying to decide on whether I should finish redoing all the decor, or if I should move on to working in the rest of the station again, and do the decor last, when everything else is done.

Sorry for the double-post, but I thought I'd post some pictures of what an empty shelf looks like, with all the newly added flags. I'm hoping that even with an empty display, the flags will help give a good idea of what goes there*, even at just a glance. I took these in-game instead of in-GECK, to give an accurate picture of what it looks like while standing at the display.




* You can of course find out for sure, just by putting your crosshair over the flag and reading the name.

Edit: I'm not a filthy communist and do understand the proper way to hang a flag vertically, and recognize that the Mentats and Fixer flag are hung backwards. That's because of how the flag is textured; the texture is simply flipped on the backside and thus the text appears backwards, and I'm too lazy to go back just to fix the 3 flags where I didn't account for this (by reversing the item icon in Photoshop).

I'm just excited about this automatic sorting malarky full stop. I'm not one for prettying up an in game home, but I'm also not one for carrying close to my weight limit all the time. The latter happens because I run out of patience running around the Lucky 38 finding cupboards to stash everything in.

I might actually be able to give hardcore mode a go if you're giving me a place to stash ammo and chems sanely.

Rope Kid's hiring you for Fallout 4, right (I mean lol Bethesda surely aren't allowed to do it)? You'll be in charge of aspects of gameplay affected by the Tidy Livin' trait.

The Big Book of Science is true to its name, and is physically large. If you want to cram more than just a couple onto a shelf, you need to give it multiple places. Which is fine by me, because that's unused space otherwise. The original LS had a Hard Hat Working Area sign thrown into the shelf, but I replaced that with the additional Big Book of Science and a framed newspaper article about the Lucky 38.
