SheepNameKiller posted:That actually irks me about texture comments as well, the retextures are all better than the original textures for sure but it's kind of ungrateful to criticize the artist of the original work just because you've found a better replacement. People have to keep in mind that one or maybe two guys were doing weapon textures for a few weeks at the most. Development teams have other fish to fry and should work on fixing bugs on quest X or polishing off clipping errors on armor Y. Just because each weapon in the game doesn't look near photo-realistic doesn't mean it's a bad design. With that said the 12.7mm SMG is one ugly son of a bitch.

Horns posted:I always thought the brush gun texture was one of the better vanilla weapon textures in the game. Not to say the retexture isn't great, because it is, but I never thought it looked terrible or anything. I actually quite like the color and style of the wood grain on the original, but I don't use the gun much because I don't really care for the style of peep sight on it. Trail carbine's where's it at, maaaan. Yeah the wood grain on the vanilla Brush Gun is pretty phenomenal. I imagine a lot of the developers fell in love with SWC + Cowboy and got a lot of use out of it so they made it especially pretty.

Heavy neutrino posted:Hey guys, I played New Vegas on PS3 and did pretty much everything there is to do in the game, but I haven't played the DLC, and I was wondering if with the user created mod content it's worth it to pay 21 bucks for the game + DLC as per today's Steam sale. Holy poo poo, thank you for pointing out that this was on sale today. I've been biding my time waiting for NV and the DLC to be on sale before I bought it for the PC. I played the poo poo out of NV on my 360 and now that I've updated my PC I've been curious to see how the mods (specifically The Armory, Bounties and Arenovalis' retexes) are for it. And it only ended up costing me a fraction of what I made today, cheers bro.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:Well, there's DC Interiors. It's a pretty cool locations mod that lets you enter formerly boarded up buildings, factories, and restaurants. A lot of the DC areas are now fun to explore and camp out in. Then there's EVE, which is sort of an Energy Weapons / Visuals overhaul. It can be pretty buggy, though. Also, look into Apocalypse Armory. Last I checked, the author was working on a compatibility patch for FWE. Is there a New Vegas equivalent of this? It always bothers me to see so many buildings strewn throughout the wastes that are boarded up.

I finally managed to find an M14 after installing The Armory...and it has a scope  Welp, hopefully the unique version of it doesn't come with it pre-installed. I'm loving the Armory by the way, even though it doesn't add much it makes New Vegas feel New again.

Anime Schoolgirl posted:Tubby's Pride doesn't come with a scope IIRC. gently caress yeah bro. As stupid as it is, this alone will get me to play NV more - just because I want to find that sonofabitch. e: I noticed a few ironsights were off and I figured out any easy way to see how they were aligned. If you're spectating in third person, aim down the sight and switch back to first person. You should see the ironsights along with the in-game crosshair telling you exactly where your bullets will be fired within it. For example the Gewehr 43 fires just slightly to the right of the post. I figured it might come in handy to those (like myself) that find themselves trying out a lot of different weapons to get a feel for them. Oh and this works for determining where the weapon recoils to as well. fennesz fucked around with this message at 00:35 on Jul 11, 2011 |

Naky posted:Which ones are off? They all should have been fixed, but I could have forgotten to copy over the fixed ones. Not the first time this would have happened... A few of the automatics recoil up into portions of their posts and it can be a little difficult to aim. It's really only the ones with intrusive irons. The 416 I remember was only accurate when fully automatic if you used the very top of the back post instead of the front post you see through the peep sight. I would guess that's how you wanted recoil to function with automatics though, having laser accurate weapons that are firing at 1000 rpm would be a little ridiculous. I should have been more specific, all of the irons for semi-automatics (except the Gewehr 43) are pretty much spot on. I picked up the 1873 Carbine early on and used it as a sniper rifle for the first 11 of my levels. fennesz fucked around with this message at 02:24 on Jul 11, 2011 |

Blarfo posted:I'm split between using Shrapnel's weapon mod and The Armory. On one hand, armory adds a lot more and doesn't require caliber which just retards up my inventory, on the other hand shrapnel adds custom sounds which is just unbelievable. Speaking of this, can anyone recommend a sound pack? I'm hesitant to install any because you can't tell if a sound pack is good from images and a mediocre description on the Nexus.

I went in, it offered me a quest, so I figured it'd be find the owner or something. Nope, dropped me in a stupid maze with none of my items. After wandering around it for 15 minutes I decided I didn't have time for that poo poo and just reloaded and declined the quest. I went in and it offered me power management, where you have to buy materials to keep the electricity running, and make sure you didn't over use it. In my room there was a box for ammo, so I had it sort ammo, and all ammo went into the same box. Later, I found an ammo sorter in the Armory that sorted into ammo types. What's the point of having both? Definitely just gonna use Buck's Place from New Bison Steve's for now, until I find a better standalone replacement. I highly suggest this. http://newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36088 I installed it last night and I'm really liking it so far. It's just a small bunker with a good bit of storage, a few pre-placed items, two radios (one for each station) and a lockable door for the spergs.

For those using AG Supplementary Uniques; has anyone noticed how wildly inaccurate some weapons are? Namely the Hammer .50 and Matilda. They seem to be off by ~10-20 degrees. The Hammer .50 I can understand, it is a compact .50 after all...but the Matilda is a full size .50, why the gently caress is it firing 15 degrees above where I'm aiming? I hope it's an installation error on my part but some how I doubt that it is.

I did check the ironsighting (I do this with each new weapon I find now, holy poo poo the Brush Gun is off), skill is at 100 and even popped a Steady. Everything was still 15 degrees above where I was aiming.

Anime Schoolgirl posted:The EBR is not semi-automatic; however, the current M14 will be redone to be that. I guess I never really gave the SR-25 a shot. I hosed up the texture and never bothered to fix it. Naky posted:Yeah that's what I get for talking out my rear end. But to make up for it, I'll make an iron sighted version of the Zastava and make the scope a mod. I suppose I can throw a silencer on it too if people want one. I'll take what I can get. I don't mind the full-auto too much (semi-automatic is just more fun), but scopes take away a lot of the character the weapons seem to have. I never understood why everyone, especially modders it seems, is so in love with scopes; figuring out the ironsights is half the fun.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:Actually it makes a little sense. For example, I've got the Cowboy Perk and a Lever Action Shotgun. If I use plain 20 Gauge rounds, I'm doing like 4.7 x 11 damage per shot (or something close to that). But because each pellet only does 4.7 DMG, they're defeated by most armor. If I use a slug instead, I'm doing 51 DMG per shot, and it's all calculated in a single hit. It doesn't need the penetrating ability because it seems to be built into the concept that you're firing a single round, rather than multiple lesser rounds. It was my understanding that slugs didn't do anything to projectile damage at all other than group the spread of your shot so it was far, far more accurate. I guess I'll have to tinker with it a little bit. I'll probably use it anyway just because shotguns slugs should be devastating.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:Hm, I haven't looked under the hood but I think there's a difference because when you've chambered buckshot, the DMG is calculated by a number like 4 x 12. When you chamber slugs, the DMG is presented as a single number. I just assumed this meant there weren't multiple projectiles being fired for the latter. Heh, and here I thought what I did because I'm quite sure the damage was still shown as 7.8x12. I'm probably mistaken but the only time I remember it being calculated differently was for the AG Supplementary Uniques weapon - Gecko Blaster.
