I don't have many weapon related mods other than WMX and some of Millenia's guns. and I'm noticing that I'm getting a LOT of energy weapon mods and next to none of the gun mods I want. I'm wondering if there's something wrong? or what?

There are ones for individual sites on nexus, but nothing like the ones that FOOK added. Or did you mean for outside of New Vegas itself, too?

So I'm using Cirosan's Classic Overhaul and I really have to ask, do the over the top health levels in the early game taper off? I'm only level 5 right now but it seems like everything I fight has enormous amounts of health and I do too. I believe the mod says the early game has somewhat inflated health levels, but if it doesn't taper off then just this feature will make me dump the entire gameplay portion of the overhaul. If human enemies are taking whole magazines to kill in the early game I don't even want to think about what happens later. This is on normal difficulty for the record.

Alright, people who have played with CCO (and I know there are quite a few in this thread), sound off. Does the HP of early level enemies need to be adjusted? Share your thoughts. Occasionally I get the odd comment like this, and I'm not sure if it's a problem that nobody posts about, or if it's a silent majority that doesn't have a problem - if that makes any sense. Let's clear the air for next release.

I used jsawyer's lowered values for health/carry weight in conjunction with your mod but I'm not sure if that applies to NPCs (does it?). I didn't find the beginning bullet-spongy at all - and this is with your follower damage tweaks active.

Well I finally upgraded my rig to Windows 8, and stuck 8GB of ram in there too; now I'm trying to get F:NV working again, and I'm having some trouble, specifically with the FNV4GB mod. I've been able to launch and play the base game, no mods, and I've been able to install NVSE, and launch F:NV from both the NVSE executable, and FOMM (via NVSE). I followed all the instructions for installing FNV4GB from both the OP and the .txt included with the files, and I've linked FOMM to it with a custom file path - that all works fine. However when I launch the executable directly, or from FOMM, I get a small window that comes up with a green progress bar which says launching, this progresses for a second or so, then disappears, and otherwise nothing happens. The game doesn't launch, there's no activity in task manager, nothing. I'm running everything in administrator mode, and I've already tried running it in XP compatibility mode - in which case FNV4GB will not even launch. I have no mods enabled in FOMM besides the base game and dlc stuff. Anyone got any advice, or ideas for how I can get this working?

There was a tool for Windows 7 that basically let you do what FNV4GB does but for any .exe. I wonder if it exists for Windows 8?

Cirosan posted:Tapers off in later levels, yeah. After you level up past level 6, the low-level failsafe turns off and everything goes back to its original health. I may need to play with those values a little bit (see here for the setting I'm talking about). I've been using your mod in conjunction with JSawyer for a while now, but even before that, I don't recall the HP values bothering me. If anything, I tweaked and installed a few mods specifically for buffing animals and mutants, which your mod doesn't really touch (or, at least, I don't think it touches). Barring some sort of conflict, it might be possible that some users expect CCO to turn the game into a more "realism"-oriented experience. I certainly never remember having situations where I had to mag-dump a firearm into some dude's face to kill him.

Out of curiosity would steam big picture mode work with all the convoluted poo poo I have piled on? Like I have to start the game in FOMM, which starts NVSE, which then starts the game.

Gameplay feels fine and a great balance between RPG and FPS, which is important to me.

A discussion about No-Bark Noonan in the New Vegas thread got me thinking about making a mod. What I want to make is a 'conspiracy kook' radio station, sort of like Coast to Coast AM if you're familiar with that show. The DJ's rants and news reports provide clues to the players about strange goings-on at X location, which the player can investigate. So the things to implement are the radio station itself and the unmarked mini-quests. My thought is that the quests should be tiered or gated. It could start out with one or two quests at first, and the next 'set' would only trigger/load when the first set is completed, and the radio hints would change appropriately. What would be a good work flow to implement this kind of thing? Should I set up the radio station first, test the trigger flags for the announcements, then hook up the flags to the quests, which I could implement independently? I've not used the GECK at all, so any advice would be great. Honestly, if I could just get it to be functional with dummy content and simple FedEx/kill X monster quests, I'd be pretty happy.

I haven't really hosed with it (Especially in regards to the radio) but presumably when it goes to fire off a specific bit of news, it checks to see if a variable is set to a specific value, and if it is it allows it to play certain bits, and those variables are set upon completion of quests. But let me see if I get you Install mod > Find new radio station > radio station leads to clues for quest(s) > Upon completion of those quests, radio station changes to reflect the outcome of the quest as well as insert clues for new quests > repeat until player slays the king of the mole men and takes their silly hat of rulership and becomes the new king, to be showered with beautiful wigs made of the hair of the surface dwellers and designer appliances.

Another example is the 'bug men' quest from Fallout 2. In that quest, two jerks are stealing the village idiot's brahmin, but they wear radscorpion bits while doing it to fool the village idiot into thinking they're 'bug men'. When he complains to the rest of the town, they either write him off or think it's just regular radscorpions.

Tupperwarez posted:That's what I figured, yeah. At the very least I could test out triggering specific news bits using dummy files (ie, "This is News Item 1," etc.) and toggling flags on and off to simulate various steps in the quest chain. Or they are sentient mole rats! If it were possible, you'd want a crazy psuedo dynamic thing that changes these things up on every new game, so while DJ No Bark rattles same as ever, you never really have a clue as to what is real and what's not, you just have to follow up his leads. Maybe it's somebody pulling a scooby doo and maybe it's someone being dumb and maybe there ARE molemen. I can't exactly help on the technical side for a bit, but if you want some help with the writing and stuff (and what technical knowledge I have off of my memory, I've got some contact info in my profile, so we can chat this up without clogging up the thread.

Good luck with GECK scripting. Theres no error checking in it, and the only way to find out if it works is if it saves. Which closes the editing window. I recommend something at least 80 proof.

fentan posted:I want a mod that lets me tell my companions to hack terminals and pick locks for me. The Wendy Gilbert companion discussed earlier in the thread can actually do this. No real character back-story, no  girlfriend plot (though her "sleepwear" is some custom transparent lingerie) Just someone who follows you around and can break out the bobby pins for you. You can assign her Tag skills when you pick her up, so I keep her around and have her focus on the skills my character is lacking on. I've plugged this mod before, because it really does seem to be about the most versatile companion mod out there.edit: \/\/\/ Yes. She builds her skills as they get used; for lockpicking as an example, she'll gain a point every few times she opens something. If her skill is below the lock level, but still close, you can have her attempt to force it; she can at least make an attempt to open something where the player wouldn't at the same lockpick level. She can also use skill magazines for a temporary buff, or you can even give her actual skillbooks if you're so inclined. Other skills work on the same lines - give her a gun and let her kill things, her gun skill increases. Ask her for help at a workbench (which gives you a buff to your repair skill based on a percentage of hers) and her repair skill goes up.

Let her take care of weak enemies when you first get her so she can run up her combat skills. If you give her a good weapon, and let her get the kills, eventually she'll be able to drop legionaries faster than Boone. It just takes longer to get to that point if none of the weapon skills are tagged. Get enough use out of her, and it is completely possible to max out all of her skills.

PN and WME have patches. PN does restore a lot of weapons so I think that other mod is unnecessary. But I wouldn't use WME because he hasn't updated his patch for Aernovalis' WRT in a year or some poo poo. WMX keeps it's patch very current. Use WMX.
