I've been modding for years and thankfully never had to crack open the GECK and learn how to use it myself until now, I think. I really want to do something small - there's one eye texture/mesh included in Ling's Coiffure that isn't part of FCO and I really want to use it but also use FCO. Is there a simple answer of how I'd go about just porting it right over? The two mods don't work together no matter what I try the eye textures end up totally off center because the texture is coming from one place and the mesh another like this:  (Not my screen shot)

Haven't used Ling's since Fallout 3, but a few things I would look into and try: A) the texture might not be scaling correctly - in this case you'll need a .DDS editor, open up the eye file you want and resize it to match the eye textures from FCO... then you could either add it using the GECK or simply rename the file to overwrite an FCO texture. B) either FCO or Lings is including an eye Mesh as well as an eye texture (in which case the texture isn't mapped correctly to the eyeball shape) - in this case you might be able to adjust it with a texture editor, or you can try either keeping or removing the .nif model to make it work. That route depends on the other FCO textures working with a mesh they weren't designed for, and could result in every character not using that eye color to look like your screenshot. While we're discussing texture mesh combos: C) if your going to fiddle with the GECK anyway, find a texture/mesh combo that works, and create a new playable race that uses that eyeball set instead of what FCO uses. You can have it require FCO as a master so you can keep it's other textures. The benefit here is you can create a race specifically for your character so any custom body/face textures (like tattoos) will show on your character and your character only, as opposed to every NPC who shares your character's skin tone. If you plan a FO3/TTW playthrough, you'll want to copy a vanilla child race too and set it as the "younger" version of your custom one, to prevent breaking things in the FO3 intro/Tranquility Lane segments.

A World of Pain would have been fine if it was like the New Vegas Interiors project and just added new locations to existing places. Instead, there are fifty different dungeons that are all connected, stand out like sore thumbs where the assets were dumped onto the Wasteland, or are THE loving UNDERGROUND WHO THE gently caress THOUGHT THAT A RAT WARREN ACROSS THE ENTIRE MOJAVE WAS A GOOD loving IDEA.

ugh. Is there an ENB wiper or something for FNV? I think I hosed up switching ENBs and I can't track down what went horribly wrong (aside from all of it) - want to wipe all enb related files out of new vegas and try again. This is what I get.

Starting my third attempt to finally play New Vegas. The first post is pretty exhaustive, but what I really need is a solid recommendation for the bare minimum of mods, otherwise I'll drown in AP. I've got NVSE, CASM, Sawyer's, Darnified and the Right to Bear Arms. Is there some unofficial patch that's recommended? Am I missing anything essential?

What's up with the Sawyer mod, exactly? Is it more a "this is how it was really meant to be" and Project Nevada is more a "let's overhaul this poo poo" or do I have that wrong? Are they compatible?

Are they compatible? That's basically the gist of it. JSawyer makes things a bit harder with some of the changes it makes but the challenge isn't too crazy, and it makes the game a lot more fun (especially in Hardcore) in addition to fixing some lingering bugs. Take a look at a list of all the changes here. PN is a more comprehensive overhaul that adds new gameplay features as well as balance changes and equipment. They're certainly compatible as long as you don't use PN's Rebalance module, though a PN-JSawyer compatibility patch may be available on the Nexus.

Jsawyer is more like "hey, here is all the poo poo we didn't have time to fix" along with some quality of life/exploit fixes (like being able to get to Vegas really early - sup deranged bright followers)

The exception being PN's Rebalance Module: It will override several tweaks JSawyer makes. If you want to use Rebalance with JSawyer, you can try reading this post.

Hannibal Rex posted:Starting my third attempt to finally play New Vegas. The first post is pretty exhaustive, but what I really need is a solid recommendation for the bare minimum of mods, otherwise I'll drown in AP. Well for bare essentials you'd also want NVAC and the Stutter Remover for stability purposes. Those plus CASM/NVSE/JSawyers is pretty much all you need to make New Vegas a dream but there is an unofficial patch that's not too bad, Yukichigai's, which is a good minimalist bugfix patch. Anything past that would fall out of the bare minimum, although if you aren't using Project Nevada core you might want the sprint mod and the grenade hotkey. You can also install Project Nevada Core but just not install the equipment/rebalance/cyberware modules which will give you sprint/grenade key/bullet time/reactive crosshairs etc without actually being incompatible with anything as far as I know. Edit: If you want minimalist stuff in general, oHud is the mod that let's you mess around with your ingame UI and make bits of it only appear when necessary(UIO is the current get multiple menu mods working mod and it's really nice because it's just an NVSE plugin that checks what mods you have when you run the game and fixes it all right for you). I believe the most recent version of CASM requires the Lutana NVSE Plugin and you'll want the MCM itself of course. Any other recommendations depend on what you want of course(I did my last trawl through every guide and search through the entire nexus for cool mods a couple of days ago so I'm full of recommendations).

Oh yeah, I have that eye thing too, something is messed up with the eye texture. Though there are few enough kids in this game that lizard eyes is just funny rather than annoying.

Seashell Salesman posted:I thought it only added Bright followers in between Nipton and Novac? It does, it makes cheesing that part of the game for a quick INT implant much harder (but still possible.) I usually recommend CCO (at least the follower modules) Jsawyer and Project Nevada Core. Which reminds me, is the equipment module in PN redundant with the DLC/GRA stuff?

Yeah the Bright followers are on the road you follow for the crit path, the opposite of the cheesing route. They're super tough if you just run that way unprepared though!

The best thing about Project Nevada is that it let me set the progression rate. I always ended up reaching my level cap too early and the game lost a lot of fun after that. By slashing progression to 50% speed, I've done a load of stuff and I only just reached level 14.

I still need to convert the weapon models into armour models, which I know is possible I just haven't yet figured out how. You're going to brute-force it? Oof. Well, for weapons that go on the back, you might be able to set them up like a backpack. Project Nevada has some for example, and I've got some in DTO and DBOG too (and WMX-MW, come to think of it). DBOG might be the most useful, as that includes weapons in the bags. For weapons that go anywhere else, you'd almost certainly need to import the nif into 3dsmax or whatever, rig it to a bone on the human skeleton, and then re-export it.

Weird poo poo is the menu clearly works despite being a total black screen - I used keyboard commands to start a new game, and the intro video rendered just fine. It went to poo poo when I skipped the end of it, which would normally put me in Doc Mitchell's place. yeah, I'm gonna back up some files and re-verify. e: haha 160 files failed verification. What the hell happened  Works fine now though.
