Last time I checked the WIP I didn't see it, but a few of the repeaters could use a little love. To be honest I haven't even found a use for any of the repeater mods as of yet. I'd really love to make that .357 repeater viable at level 45, it feels unnaturally accurate for some reason.

A new WIP is released every weekend in the IRC channel in case you're curious. As for the repeaters, which ones specifically, and which mods would you suggest?

^ The Winchester 101 only gets a side saddle which is kind of weak. Not a repeater but I guess I have a soft spot for sophisticated weapons. Likewise the Winchester 1894 only gets a nightvision scope which seems like an odd choice for the sole attachment for a repeater. And with the Winchester 1873 (which I was referring to) does use the modified receiver but the other doesn't which is odd.

Modified receiver mods are basically retextures we present as upgrades with a lot of make believe and pretend. Side saddles are visually one of the few (if not only) universal mod I can put on repeaters and shotguns that I can think of. I resist putting silencers and such on them since it doesn't really go with the weapons or make sense. I'm not too sure what I could do to them that would also be visual.

You have to update MCM if you're using it along with PN. If you have the most recent version, you have to make sure you install it after PN (so reactivate it in FOMM).

I've said it a lot of times throughout the thread - as far as I know, you can't just mix and match parts on armors like you can with weapons in most cases and especially not major poo poo like shirts and pants. The work has to be done in a 3D app like Blender and then exported properly. You'll have to find an armor import/export tutorial for Blender or something and try to get it to work that way.

On this:

It seems if you edit the root scene to be the exact same name for the mesh you want to add to and the mesh you're copying from, it'll work. Like Scene-Root:00 for your editing mesh, Scene-Root:01 for your source mesh, it won't get along. Changing the source mesh to Scene-Root:00 will. But that's just for simple weapon mesh style copy/pasting, proper editing will require Blender.

I sat down a few nights back and couldn't make heads or tails of that. The tutorial Internet Friend posted may help, assuming I can tear myself away from Deus Ex long enough to to even begin to read it.

Yeah, but beware of copy and pasting because it while it may work and look fine in nifskope it will transform to whatever body type it was made for in game. We discovered that the hard way a few months ago when I mixed and matched a type 3 top with a normal pair of pants. Looked great in nifskope and then when it got in game the top shrunk on me and looked ridiculous. It's just easier to do everything in Blend and know it's going to work the first time rather than waste your time experimenting and hoping it will when a lot of times it probably won't anyway.

I'm really saddened by the lack of Wild Wasteland mods out there. It's a really great perk that's really underutilized in the main game. I was hoping there would be a huge pack that added a bunch more encounters but I'm finding a very distinct lack of such things.

This tutorial covers what you need to know. It's geared towards converting clothing to different body types, but the concept is the same. You'll just have to import multiple clothing meshes into Blender, delete the parts you don't want and tweak them to fit together.

The tutorial is a little out of date; you shouldn't need to use Nifty anymore as the nif exporter seems to handle skin partitions fine now.

edit: if the parts of the armor are broken up into blocks in nifskope, you can just copy branch into another nif. Most of the time things like pants and shirts are welded together though.

Thanks for the help. I'm probably gonna need more help than that, though. Importing and exporting stuff in Blender doesn't work with gamebryo stuff in my version(the newest version of Blender that is) and it's a bit hard to edit meshes when they only show up as cubes instead of actual meshes like in that tutorial. Much like how I can't seem to open a mesh in Nifskope without it showing up in white, instead of how it looks in-game.
And the link in that tutorial for getting the script for importing gamebryo poo poo in Blender requires having an account on the site.

Stuff's only white in Nifskope because you've not actually looked at the texture settings. Render->Settings and add the paths. You may need to export the textures from the BSA as well.

Plus you are going to need the import scripts. I mean, it's not exactly going to work if you don't have them.

How are you sure the increased instability is because of perk-related mods? Spontaneously disappearing textures and meshes doesn't sound like a symptom of mods that add perks. What perk mods do you use, specifically, and what else is in your load order?

It's really just me assuming that it's perk related because installing a couple extra ones exasperated the issue further. I haven't really had the disappearing texture issue for a while since I went through and cleaned out any mod I wasn't explicitly using and started reorganizing properly with BOSS and merging a bashed patch with Wrye Flash.

For anyone who's used this - does Wrye still not believe in compiling a goddamn exe? As in, am I going to have to do the Python Installation Dance just like I had to do for Morrowind, or has someone finally had a brainstorm and just compiled an executable because they realized making people download three versions of Python and comtypes to be exceedingly dumb?

I'll be setting up a new PC in the near future and a brand new FONV run with all the DLC I grabbed for cheap off Steam a little while ago, so it's going to have eight zillion mods, and I'd love to use Wrye Flash if it's anything as decent as Mash, but getting it to run is ughhhhh.

They link to their preferred python installation last I checked. I never knew it was such a hard thing to do since I just downloaded Python from the same source as Wrye Bash when I was installing the Oblivion version and it worked with Wrye Flash too.

A update on this. I have the 2.49b version of Blender, but I can't find any scripts. And most that I find through google are for Oblivion, anyway. Or do the Oblivion scripts work for other Gamebryo games? The link on the tutorial page don't work, since the thread with the script is restricted.

Newp. I need to spend my time working on improving the mod rather than taking shots, editing them, and uploading them somewhere. I was initially going to make a PDF/wiki with every weapon, a picture, and their stats but that's just far too much work for me to take on by myself. I suppose if you're really unsure that you'd enjoy the mod you can take a pass on it - I hear it's just 2.5GB of slightly different assault rifles anyhow :)

It's Vurt's Wasteland Floral Overhaul, which adds in a shitload of plants and trees all around the game world and generally looks pretty good- comes in two forms, one with more green, living plants, and another with fewer of those and a lot of scorched, dead plants. Be warned, however, it's pretty hardware intensive, especially with other texture and weather mods running simultaneously. Had to bump down NMC to small textures just to get things running smoothly, and my computer's no slouch in the hardware department.

Unless you're asking what's making those screens look sickly and oversaturated, which would probably be Imaginator.

If you're refering to the screenshots he linked, it's PoliceAutomaton's experimentations with his own weather/shaders mod. He's still working on getting good levels and working out the darkness/interiors portion of it but some things look absolutely incredible. He has screens of some of the nicer weapons in TA and they look stunning.

I'm going to start playing New Vegas soon. I played it at release, but never finished it and used no mods, and I want to play a definitively better modded version. What mods do you recommend for a more complete game experience without changing too much? I already know I'm definitely getting that Project Nevada thing, looks very cool. And I guess I should pick up either MTUI or DarnUI. What other mods are generally recommended for everyone, to round out the New Vegas experience?

My computer isn't very good, so anything purely cosmetic like those new skyboxes everyone is so into, I'm not interested in.

I installed The Armory and AG Supplementary Uniques and then had steam check file integrity and it repaired a couple files so maybe something got replaced and messed it up.

For people want to get rid of the pitch black lights in project reality you have to modify the .esp yourself and it's actually very easy.

First download the NV GECK here

Extract all GECK files where the falloutNV.exe would be. Start geck then click "file" at the top then "data". Now check off Fallout.esm and F3NV Project RealityMkIv3.esm ONLY! Nothing else should have a checkmark next to it except these 2 files. Now click on F3NV Project RealityMkIv3.esm and click "set as active file." Now click OK.

Now under Special effects look for imagespace modifier and click it. Now on the right side of the pane. look for a file called "F3NVISN1" Right click it and select "edit".

Another pane should open and you should be able to see brightness and a value next to it on the right side. Change the value next to brightness to whatever you want to. Lower values mean darker nights. I recommend staying above 0.600.

Now do the exact same to F3NVISN2, F3NVISN3 and F3NVISTh. Just click their names on the left hand side and change each value. Once done, click ok and then save your changes. Don't forget to click data and then save so the .esp stays modified.

Now run bash and ensure that F3NV Project RealityMkIv3.esm is activated in FOMM and your done!

If you need more help feel free to ask.
