IWS is great but I wish it would scale the spawns with level. My guns character managed to deal with the massive early game spawns, but it was impossible to do much with my new unarmed character. I've turned it off for now, I'll put it back on later when I've got better armour.

I've used Monster Mod a lot. You can make it better by downloading a lore-friendly version and then using the Rebalanced Leveled Lists to stop the game from throwing level 20 monsters at you right out the door. Turns out the modder was either assuming everyone was as masochistic as him or a total moron because he set all monsters to spawn on all leveled lists and also overwrote many vanilla spawns with his own stuff, causing the game to be flooded with high level creatures right outside Doc Mitchell's house.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:Nah, I don't even think that's a "petty immersion" thing. That's legitimately hokey. Admittedly, I'm not even a huge fan of enemies that are recognizable from other games, like the STALKER creatures. They at least tried with the Snork, turning it into the "feral merc"; a trivial enemy. The tentacle-face thingy does show up out of the blue, though, and the one thing that spawns on the "ghoul" list, "The undead", which is a green skeleton with some flesh still on, strains credulity, although not too much when you consider that the skeletons inside the Trauma Override harnesses still fire their weapons even though no flesh remains on their hands... I don't think I've encountered T-800s or Xenomorphs, I remember something about having to activate those separately if you wanted "more challenge" Heh.

I want to make Fallout as pretty looking as possible with a new overclocked/superpowered gaming rig I've put together. Is the guide at the bottom of the second post up to date and still relevant?

http://wiki.step-project.com/User:EssArrBee/FalloutNewVegas I think this is the most up to date list of graphics and texture enhancements you're gonna find, unless I'm wrong/misinformed/insane of course. Just go down the list and cherry pick what you want. Mind you, I'm new to the modding thing.

VolticSurge posted:You mean The Lost Tribes? Gonna have to get that once I get a PC that can play Skyrim in the first place. Yeah. It is not really super balanced though if that bothers you. Some of the predator gear is hilariously broken in your favor and the aliens are hard as gently caress to kill early on. It also adds like 5000 different combinations of predator mask to your smithing menu which gets a bit annoying. Otherwise though, it's cool and well made. There's hostile camps of predators on the map here and there, and at least one non-hostile community you can trade with and get a follower predator too. You can turn a xenomorph head into a shield, it's rad.

Unfortunately, since the OP is already at character capacity and is overwhelming for a lot of people, I'm a little leery of finding ways to fit "one off" mods that add single things, like his flamer and Ripley uniform. Would you recommend his Super Mutant / Robot retextures? EDIT: Also, I fixed a couple of broken links/HTML code in the OP including, coincidentally, the IHWT and graphics guide links.

The robot textures are good but he gave the securitrons white arms and the dirt on their wheels is too orange so he has to die. All the other robots look cool so I just install Improved Robot Textures and then a securitron retexture over that.

I just realized this thread is four years old.  Man, SA is probably the only online community where the op is expected to last for an American election cycle. Anyway, for content related to New Vegas modding, like almost everyone else in this thread I've played beyond boulder dome and I can safely say, gently caress it. gently caress it so very much. Everything related to non-violent interaction with normal ghouls was OK, but everything else was just plain bad.

speaking of quality retextures, a bunch of em just came out on the f3 nexus for the main overlooked weapons (and also laser rifle/pistol) in 'em. the covered weapons are the .32 revolver, the assault rifle and the chinese assault rifle. look: it's a chinese assault rifle that finally doesn't look like a fuzzy mess!  there's also emeraldreign's "fallout 3 hirezed" pack that has some incredible looking textures for some weapons and explosives i think the heavy weapon stuff in there looks way better than similar mods

Since a bunch of those guns are in the New Vegas files, with the same names even, presumably I could replace the default textures with those hi-res ones and the mod that puts the unused F3 weapons back in the game would put them back in with the new glorious textures? That seems like it would work fine to me, but then I'm a technical incompetent so it's worth asking to make sure I wouldn't destroy my game somehow by doing that.

I would try it out, it cannot cause any major damage. It might cause the guns to look ugly or it might not do anything at all, but it will not destroy your game.

They look absolutely fantastic but why did he release them all as separate downloads? pain in the rear end, not sure it would be worth it for weapons I literally never use. ---- Really happy with how these critters are working, it's fun as hell when dicking around in the Geck succeeds. The Radmutts have a radioactive bite attack, it's brutal when you have a whole pack nipping at you. I made some glow-in-the-dark scorpions too and tied the radioactive burst to their sting attack, but they only do it once or twice per fight for some reason, unlike the dogs. I'll either handplace them in logical places or make some new little areas in unused spots on the map. e:   What I haven't managed to work out is how to give scorpions the bloatfly's ranged dart effect... though come to think of it a bloatfly that spits acid like the centaur might be worth trying.

I learned about a neat little thing called heap replacement and my FPS has improved by an exponential amount, almost to fallout 3 levels even.  .Anyway I've plugged in IWS and turned on active spawns in order to advantage of my new and improved performance and I'm planning on walking from goodsprings to Vegas. How many assholes can I expect to encounter on the way?

You'll leave a cave and then you'll watch 3-5 guys just spawn out of completely nowhere and start mobbing you. I had to turn it off after I was playing through Honest Hearts and every time I left a cave 5 giant cazadores would spawn.

Good god is the Geck a weird hosed up stupid thing. I've been seeing how feasible it is to recreate a section of Route 66 south of Searchlight, since it follows modern Route 40. Also would be fun to recreate Cal-Nev-Ari as some bizarre settlement in the middle of nowhere. It's going OK, though terrain manipulation and working with short segments of road is really finicky, and poo poo doesn't look in-game quite like it does in Geck. And with object manipulation in a scene, it's a toss-up whether scrolling with your mouse wheel makes a value jump by several units or tick by painfully slowly. The worst though is it insists on this weird LOD generation in-game that's not visible in the editor, so big sections of my road and the other models I placed are covered up with big ugly blotchy lumps and I don't see any way to turn those off or delete them.

Before you can do anything you need this mod http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/34832/ and NVSE but I'll assume you have that. Pretty much I just went into \Steam\SteamApps\common\Fallout New Vegas\Data\nvse\plugins, opened up my sr_New_Vegas_Stutter_Remover (The doc that's not the readme, by the by) and changed bReplaceHeap = from 0 to 1. There's also a section further down where you can set how the heap replacement to various different values but I just left it on the default because  basically.I did try the heap value on 6 but then fallout NV wouldn't start, so do be careful.

Hopefully someone with some knowledge of Blender/creating armors can help me. I was using blender to combine the Reinforced Chinese Stealth Armor, and a Courier Coat in order to reduce clipping. once I get everything exported out of blender, and I pick the model in the geck it looks pretty messed up, with some meshes appearing, but most nowhere in sight. In game when I equip them all areas except for head an hands are invisible, and an untextured mesh of the armor is hovering at an angle nearby (it also occasionally disapears). I even imported and exported a armor I didn't modify at all with blender, and got the same results. Anyone know wtf I did wrong? edit: oh yeah, the armor looks perfect in nifskope.

It's been ages since I've actually exported armour - and I use 3dsmax rather than Blender anyway - but the usual starting point is to open two copies of Nifskope side-by-side and to compare your nif with one that you know works, to look for obvious differences.

Is it like hats where you have to open it in NVEdit and check some "head" flag? Without that hats have the same issue, they're rotated 90 degrees to the side. e: Naky posted:I believe you may have to regenerate the LOD files to correct it but I could be wrong. Sounds like it would be easier to just create a new worldspace, which is what I ended up doing.
