First thing I'm going to do once I've figured out the proper process, is find a way to automate it because if I have to do conversions in 3dsMax & NifSkope by hand for all weapons + weaponmod variants for the vanilla game + any mod-added weapon goons will undoubtedly ask for, I'm probably going to throw the idea in the garbage bin.

I got the itch to play again and downloaded a bunch of mods. I was doing the go to New Vegas at level 1 gimmick and broke the bank at the Vickii and Vance. Trying to leave froze my game so bad I had to restart my computer because I couldn't alt tab out to anything. Now loading any save games at all gives me the same issue. This is uh new to me. The game was working fine before including loading saves. Could my mods be doing it?

Thank god for CASM. Seems I can load games from before going to Freeside. I'm going to guess one of the Freeside related mods is loving things up, probably Freeside open.

I didn't think that things like the Weapon Mod Menu or the 'see your body in first-person' mod were possible before they happened either, though. Who knows, maybe someone much smarter than I am could come up with some arcane method using a custom skeleton and an NVSE plugin, or something. Raygereio posted:I'm going to have to do that for all weapons. Armour meshes have positioning data that tells the game where to display it on the character model. The weapon meshes don't have that (holstering a weapon work differently). So I also need to correctly position the mesh in 3dsmax. That's true about it being different to weapon meshes, though like I said, you shouldn't need to import/export with 3dsmax for the weapons that go on the back, at least; just copy from one nif to another. That's what I did in DBOG.

Zeron posted: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. Okay, so I'm trying out mods for the first time for this game. I've got NVSE, CASM, the NVAC/Stutter Remover, and all required mods for that. Was also thinking of getting the Project Nevada mod and Nevada Skies mods. Were there any other must-have mods for starting out?

With all the stuff you can do to the game you're going to need to get familiar with either bash or FONVedit to start making merged patches. They take care of a lot of little things, like merging leveled lists to prevent huge possible holes in content due to conflicts, and generally improving stability for me as well. Merged patch goes last. I can't get WME to work with Project Nevada, EVE, WMR, AWOP, MoMod, IWS, and ... uh... some other major overhauls that don't apparently conflict, too. But the problem seems to be the way the DLC expansion conflicts with, well, almost all the other DLC compatibility stuff (either individually or together). No amount of rearranging the load order helps, may just not be compatible I guess. Kind of a shame but I have so much stuff in the game already, I can probably deal with having to find the stock weapon mods if I can't always craft them. The rest doesn't even have any major conflicts at all after compatibility patches, though having all the stuff show up obv. requires a merged patch. Maybe I could get it all to work together with a bashed patch? If it's possible to get it running that'd be great, no point missing out on the exact way I want it to be if it's doable, I guess.

Here are some patches between Project Nevada and EVE, WME, and WMX. Alternatively you could try FOOK - Project Nevada Convergence, which lets you use FOOK, PN, EVE, WME, WMX, and AWOP at the same time. There are also some compatibility patches there for some other mods.

I love the idea of Right To Bear Arms but like so many otherwise-great mods, it significantly throws the balance of the game. By the time I'd liberated Primm I'd collected three different Fat Man-variant explosives from enemy corpses and the vanilla game had maybe 4 or 5 fat man bombs through the entire game. I've also got like 5 or 6 mods for weapons that require 75+ skill to use. I kind've wish JSawyer had distributed the GRA uniques the way that it distributed the starting equipment DLC. *e - actually, looks like a lot of variables can be changed with the console. Playing with IWS probably also loads the dice somewhat. Basic Chunnel fucked around with this message at 04:31 on Jan 12, 2015 |

Wyvernil posted:Okay, so I'm trying out mods for the first time for this game. I think you're fine, and you don't need PN/Nevada Skies. You can get PN because it's modular and you can only load the modules/features you want. As for Nevada Skies - or any weather mod - I would avoid that route because weather mods and visual upgrade mods rapidly turn into a black hole. I mean this in the figurative sense, in that you install one weather mod, then you get an ENB which wants another interior lighting mod, then that mod wants an exterior weather mod, then suddenly you're 47 mods deep for nothing. I also mean it in the literal sense as too many idiots think "immersion = everything is pitch black, always" so once you're done installing those 47 things you can't see a loving thing in any interior cell, and god forbid you go within a mile of a cave. I recently stripped out all my weather/lighting/whatever/ffff mods except ones that add lights (Electro-City) and I'm truly liking the change. For your first playthrough, just don't bother with all that poo poo, imo. Get an ENB which doesn't require 47 tweak mods if you want to go that route. Rudy ENB is pretty good on that front, I hear, if you ditch the sweetfx module and go from there.

Yeah I have used GRA - The Right to Bear Arms for a year or two now and I feel like the default settings are a little...generous. It can certainly make things interesting when those extra items are being used against you, like when a powder ganger is flinging world-ending MFC clusters at you in Goodsprings and all you've got is some leather armor with 6 DT, but there's something not quite "right" about having a veritable stockpile of high-end GRA explosives simply by completing the Goodsprings quests, and without any real work or trickery. I found that I had to get pretty austere with my personal settings by raising all 4 included console settings so that each had a 95-99% chance of "none". You'll still find really nice stuff on common NPCs and containers, but it turns it into more of a treat than, "I only have 10 9mm rounds but already have enough explosives to cause several thousand points of damage."

Ahhh, *that's* what was causing that level of  last playthrough. IIRc, I had cluster grenades being thrown at the Highway Patrol substation, and more than once a Fiend botched their Fat Man use badly and own-goaled one of their pals.(That was bad because I was using Increased Wasteland Spawns as well, and 15-20+ Fiends were swarming all over the far side of the freeway - so the nukeshot wasn't the best idea anyway.  )What really sucked was finding all these cool mods for Police Pistols and BARs and 1911s and all, and not having the weapons spawn until I actually started the DLC in question.

Any mods that fix the 1st person clipping issues with the Ranger Combat armors? I think it might be messing up because I'm using the Weapon Animation Replacers (though only the 3rd person animations). It's especially bad with one handed weapons.

I recommend using Increased Wasteland Spawns. That's the mod that really changed up the combat for me. Just turn off Active Spawns, which is on by default for some reason. It causes dudes to respawn when you reload the game.

Gyshall posted:Does this remove the filter or add it back in? Adding ENB removes it, as I recall, irrespective of these options. The other option in the default ENB config you may want to disable is sky processing, which is (was?) enabled by default. This also works with weather mods, letting their light settings through unchanged.

Uh, some companion mod. (At work, no access to my config/build.) Probably from the OP... yeah, JIP Companions Command and Control, derpy thumbnails and all. Please note that tidal waves of ghouls (or Fiends) will likely make your computer sputter and gag up a lung. I'll have corpses despawning while I'm still battling away, so hopefully you don't lose anything vital/quest-related... I also jacked the spawns in FO3 using Mart's Mutant Mod, but that didn't get (quite) as silly. Speaking of which, New Vegas *needs* Night Ghouls.

I'm also a "No Loot Left Behind" OCD hoarder, too - I'd do a loop from Novac around the western llop of the highway up to the Searchlight junction, then south from there, chewing up Legion and gangers and trudging back with ridiculous piles of loot - then break down all the ammo types I didn't use, and make handloads. Then take all the excess lead back to my room in Novac, offload loot into various containers and drag the non-keepers off to find merchants.I also ran Signature Weapon (fully-modded Lucky) and Signature Armor (gunslinger outfit, from a mod). Very much horribly broken by midgame, yes...  Early game? Do Not  With an earlier version of IWS (and less spawns/no Signature mods), I did a full Legion/rear end in a top hat playthrough - melee/thrown weapons only.
