I don't think it would affect them - unless they make a change specifically to the scrap metal item, everything should still work.

(note: Because of the way the game works, scrap metal as a repair item does NOT actually involve a change to scrap metal itself - so there's no conflict there)

Thanks! Can't wait to see how hilarious the dialog would be playing as a robot. The Fisto scene in particular would just be awkward as hell, more so even.

I'm running New Vegas on a Windows 7 machine with 16 gigs of memory and launching from the Fallout Mod Manager. Do I have to do anything to make the game Large Address Aware? Can I do that through FOMM or should I not need to worry about it?

Also, after downloading several separate minor bug fixes (Eyebrow beards, dog eyes, business suits, etc) I eventually figured out that the Community Bugfix pack is still being actively developed, just not uploaded onto the Nexus anymore apparently.

If anyone wants to take a look at it, you can find the site that hosts and compiles it here, pretty happy that this compilation still exists, and is actively compiled.

I recently turned off your textures Arenovalis because I wanted to play around with WME (doing otherwise entirely screws up the texturing). Man, I'd forgotten what an ugly pipe the vanilla .223 pistol is - not to mention how tintwise it looks nothing like the gun from FO2. No weapon upgrade is worth going back to that travesty.

Sounds like what happened with my saved. I switched to the F3N Weather mod and it now crashes upon loading.

Well I found the fix! Apparently this sometimes happens with all versions of the game regardless of platform. If the game is crashing at the launcher simply restart Steam. If a save won't load all you have to do is start a new game and play until it autosaves for the first time (right before the vigor tester). After that your other saves magically work again!

:pcgaming: :obsidian:


e: alternately, rename the FalloutNVLauncher.exe to something else and create a copy of FalloutNV.exe and call that the new FalloutNVLauncher.exe. this bypasses the glitchy launcher that seems to hate Steam

So, about this. I downloaded the one you linked, but I also have something called "Community Bugfix Compilation Patch" which says it's at version 1.10 and has "CBC Dead Money," too. The one you linked says "Bugfix - Community Patch" and is version 0.3.0. Are these the same thing, just different versions? The first one was on the Nexus, if that helps.

Awesome. Any tips? Should I ignore increasing VATS stuff like Agility/AP perks or go for that too?

The perk you get from Dead Money that increases your melee critical damage by 150%, and all the other stuff like better criticals, seems like that would make that kind of build far superior? I hope I'm wrong.

My other character is a stealth shotgun character and I'm just tired of doing the sneaky thing. I want to charge in and hit people with a huge rear end weapon.

edit: uh, sorry, I totally posted in the wrong thread.

I'm not too sure if their both the same developers actually, either way they both do the exact same thing except this one is updated a lot more and won't break your game if you use it due to out dated fixes. And BOSS seems to recognize it and sort it despite it not being on the Nexus.

player.setlevel whatever

Note that by default, weapons don't level off of XP, but off of kills. Only armor is necessarily afflicted with this particular problem.

Also, just the levels 45-50 span contains enough XP potential to level up a piece of clothing 18 times, or a set of top-tier power armor 12 times.

So, bumbling around the Fallout wiki, I stumbled across this old full page ad from a magazine back when the first Fallout came out.



It is my opinion that somebody with better modding skills than myself should try and replicate the outfit the player character is wearing in the art there. Not much to go on for the armor other than it seems to be power armor with a really kitschy American flag/nuclear fallout kind of theme to it. The headband/goggles thing is pretty neat too.

The goggles are already in New Vegas, but the "headband" I think is actually bandages (although there is a bandanna in New Vegas). American flag power armor is a great idea but the flag in that art is (ironically enough) actually not fallout canon since it contains a big square of stars rather than a ring.

Well, I figured since I uninstalled the mods, the load order wouldn't matter? I didn't defrag, just playing where steam put it.

Edit: vv started a new game too. But I'll defrag my drive and see if that helps. I'm gonna have to do it tomorrow. Thanks for the info!

Sometimes even uninstalling mods won't fix problems if you're still playing on saves with old information. But definitely defrag your hard drive and see if your lag improves.

Yeah, I meant to say bandages. Just typed "headband" because that was what my brain processed at that particular moment. Also, the flag should actually be fine considering there's at least one propaganda poster in-game that features a soldier in power armor holding up an American flag that still has the square of stars on it.

Or at least I swore to Christ there was. Just looked it up on the Fallout wiki and the one I'm thinking of has the circle of stars. Fucker was in the Brotherhood bunker and I'm in Old World Blues right now, so I can't double check, but I swear there's a poster somewhere with the old flag design on it.

Either way, it's splitting hairs. Could have just been power armor that belonged to a guy who preferred the old flag to the new flag. Who knows? Who cares?

EDIT: Aha! I knew I wasn't loving crazy! I was thinking of a different poster than the one I looked up, it turns out.

Yeah I guess that one was an accident, since the flag was changed well before power armor was invented (I'm thinking pre-1969 since it was some time before that that the states were merged into the commonwealths and presumably required the change in flag). e: my problem with the 'old flag' appearing there is that by the time of the great war it was over a hundred years out of date, it would be like someone today 'preferring' a flag with like 30 stars or whatever. Also it's possible that the modern flag never existed in the FO universe since that one was adopted in 1960 apparently.

XP leveling runs off your own XP total. If you turn off the XP penalty, you'll actually level up faster.
