Currently trying to identify which mod in my list is breaking text. At seemingly random moments it'll cause the OK button on a prompt (like an alert about DLC loading or such) to be slightly off-center and unclickable, forcing me to shut down the game from the Task Manager or Alt+F4. Or it'll cause my entire inventory in the looting menu to be squashed into a single line of text where nothing is clickable. Normally you'd just click through and disable and enable mods selectively until you identify the bad egg. But it seems like there's little rhyme or reason to when it breaks; in one save, the inventory bug wouldn't come up when I was looting corpses but would come up when I tried to loot a nearby dead pack brahmin. Or looting would be fine, but trying to place a map marker resulted in the screen being locked permanently into an unclickable prompt to say yes or no. And most of the mods I have, I've used in the past with no problems. Still not as bad as when Project Nevada told me that it couldn't detect its HUD extensions while we were still on the title screen, which couldn't be removed and thus made the game unplayable.

delta534 posted:That sounds like a UI/HUD mod installed wrong. Which one I could not tell you, since my experience with bad UI/HUD mod installs have resulted in a crash. The only mod I have installed that should affect the HUD at this point is Project Nevada; Powered Power Armor was installed, but I removed it when it caused the same problem. Which is odd, because Project Nevada is problematic but it's never caused that specific problem before. I am considering replacing it with a set of mods that replicate some of its functionality, though, like the bullet time (I prefer it over VATS).

Raygereio posted:This means you either installed PN incorrectly and/or installed another mod that overwrote some hud files. My guess is that your current problem is related to that. I definitely installed PN correctly, since I used FOMM to do it. I also double-checked on archive invalidation. It may have been Powered Power Armor (that's the only other mod on my list I can think of that would do anything with the UI), but they've always worked properly before. Right now I'm finding a stable set of mods to use for a mod-based LP here, showing off the custom quests in particular. Among other things, I got the Monster Mod with a rebalancer so it actually meshes properly with the game instead of resulting in swarms of ultrapowerful custom mutants flooding the wastes. Before I had the rebalancer, traversing the Mojave basically consisted of pulling out your biggest gun and shooting everything that moved on instinct. Crossing the Ivanpah Race Track, I literally did not even notice what I was shooting beyond that it was close by and moving toward me. That's how bad the hordes are. Turns out it's unbalanced because the creator set every custom monster to start spawning at level 1 instead of being properly on the leveled lists, set them to spawn 2 or 3 times as much as vanilla creatures with a 100% spawn chance in every potential location, and even removed some existing vanilla spawns and replaced them with his own stuff.

So far, I've confirmed that the Mod Configuration Menu tries to overwrite something in the Menu folder installed by Project Nevada. I think I'll try the Mod Organizer later on. Right now I'm going to fire up a slightly lighter test game and go through all the content I plan on covering for the LP to make sure that there's nothing game-breaking.

-Troika- posted:It has a custom model. Does it? I pulled up the wiki page for the unique gun and the regular plasma pistol and the pictures are literally identical. Like, switching tabs between pictures shows no change. From what I remember, almost no gun in Fallout 3 has a unique counterpart with a custom model. The closest I can think of is Lincoln's Repeater, and only because they sort of went backwards and made a non-unique 10mm version for Point Lookout's tribals.

Zilkin posted:I don't think there is F3 mod thread anymore so I hope it's ok to ask here if the FO3 Wanderer's Edtion mod is any good? It kinda sounds bit like Sawyer's mod for F3, but on the other hand it seems to add stuff like bullet time(?), etc. It's the predecessor to Project Nevada for FNV, which is my general go-to mod at the start. If you want a general purpose mod that adds a lot of new functionality, it's great. I even prefer using bullet time (slow-motion that uses AP) to VATS, since I no longer need to care about percentage chance to hit and I can shoot exactly how I want. It adds a lot of other functions as well, such as a hotkey to quickly pull and throw grenades like a modern FPS, a New Vegas-style needs system for food, water, and sleep, and an alternative start system that lets you start in a semi-randomly chosen area with random gear and perks based on your chosen profession and background and change exactly how many SPECIAL points you allocate and how many skill points you earn on leveling, which skips the entire post-birth intro sequence in less than 5 minutes (don't worry, you can still choose to be a Vault 101 dweller and start outside the Vault door). You can edit how everything operates to tune it to your own desires. chitoryu12 fucked around with this message at 00:33 on Jun 22, 2014 |

The sprint, grenade, and bullet time function of Project Nevada are probably the most important changes to the vanilla game in terms of combat. They allow you to play it more like a traditional FPS and give you a real-time alternative to VATS that's good enough to potentially let you override a low Guns or Energy Weapons skill with your own personal talent at mouse shooting, no percentage chances needed. At the same time I recommend turning off the auto-aim function, either with PN's menu or a mod for it. The auto-aim can be total bullshit at times, causing your bullets to curve toward or away from a target regardless of where the sight is aimed. I also like to play with Realistic Headshots so I can pop human enemies and most animals in the head once or twice and go. Before I had that installed, I discovered just how bullet spongey the enemies in New Vegas Bounties were. I had the damage turned up high enough and the armor rebalanced so that against unarmored enemies, a few shots even with a 9mm would kill reliably. I used Sweet Revenge, which is hilariously overpowered for a handgun. Against the final boss, it took two headshots to down him. I can't imagine how long it would take with vanilla statistics. Speaking of bullet sponges, be very wary about using the Xenomorph and T-800 plugins for Monster Mod. The mod already badly unbalances the game unless you rebalance it (thankfully a mod exists for that, so no need to scrounge around in the GECK), but they're so impossibly tough that you start to wonder just how beating them is possible. Using the aforementioned damage increase, I went into god mode and used a fully upgraded Red Glare on a T-800. It took literally over a minute of sustained full auto fire (with the damage and fire rate upgrade, mind you) to kill one.

I absolutely recommend the NMC textures if your computer can handle them (mine cost less than $800 pre-built, so pretty much any decent gaming rig, especially one that's custom built for modern games, won't even notice). They look infinitely better than the vanilla ones.

All the DLC generally requires more skill on the part of the player, since they're made for higher level characters. Enemies tend to come hard and fast, often in ambushes. You need good reflexes, FPS talent, and weapon/ammo switching speed.

FNVEdit and FOMM both revert back to not being "always run as administrator", and no matter how many times I go into preferences and reapply it, it won't stick.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:I love gibbing, but I will tweak PN so that the odds of people getting limbs severed/gibbed is greatly reduced. I feel like the default value is crazy-high, and it sort of turns it into a mundane happening when it should really be an awesome experience every time. Yeah, that's how I prefer it. Most of the time the guys just fall over, while shotguns and .50 cal rifles actually gib and dismember and explosions tear bodies to shreds. With energy weapons, though, it's just a mess.

Yeah, I agree that it's best to experience the game in a mostly vanilla state first. Use JSawyer to rebalance and tweak it a bit and MAYBE add Project Nevada, but that's all I suggest. Once you at least beat the main quest and maybe the DLC in that form, start modding.

rocket_man38 posted:Nevada skies is good as well, it changes the weather to make it more realistic. I use Western Sky for mine. It's been a bit less glitchy than Nevada Skies and includes the Fellout-style filter removal. Adding on to what I said, I would suggest (if you don't care about experience the low-quality vanilla textures) you get the NMC Texture Pack and Weapon Retexture Project, as well as Millenia's other weapon textures. It's more resource intensive than the base game, but it can make it seriously pretty if combined with Western Sky or Nevada Skies and/or Fellout.

CJacobs posted:Mostly general purpose make-the-game-better stuff. I'm not looking to make the game unrecognizable but it would be nice if it was fun to play. It's too bad you can't get rid of the general clunkiness of Gamebryo. First thing to get is Fallout: Wanderer's Edition. It's the predecessor to Project Nevada, and incorporates some of the same stuff (rebalancing options, grenade hotkey, sprint and bullet time functions, etc.), but it also incorporates a New Vegas-style needs system and an alternative start function like Roleplayer's Alternate Start for New Vegas, which massively speeds up starting a new game by letting you skip the entire Vault tutorial after birth. After that, I would get the Weapon Mod Kits to add that functionality into it. From then on, you can grab just about anything you want. Personally I like to use Vurt's Flora Overhaul, which has several different variations to let you change the look of the wasteland to fit your personal view of how lush or dead it should be. No matter the variation, it always adds a ton of trees, grass, and brush to generally enhance the appearance of the wasteland.

Like, I can understand a desire to get rid of some of the really sterile look the game has. Stuff like making long-dead corpses actually look long-dead or giving a wounded character some cuts and bandages? That's cool, and I like that he did that. But that poo poo's just excessive.

It saves on the hassle of needing to go into your inventory and heal up manually, but depending on your play style (especially if you play with mods that increase damage) you could end up passing the threshold and dying before it activates. I just find it more prudent to pay attention.

Bob NewSCART posted:00 Commando? Here. It makes the shotguns less like typical video game shotguns: increases the range and damage while decreasing the spread of shot. So instead of your classic Call of Duty gun where the shot simply evaporates past 50 feet and a 30 foot shot has half of the pellets miss entirely because the cloud is bigger than a person, you can now deal at least passable damage out to a few dozen yards with buckshot and tear poo poo up in close quarters.

I agree, just do a full install on PN. I've used it for so long that I barely remember how to play without the slow motion or grenade hotkey. At the very least, I hope the grenade throwing is implemented in Fallout 4 because it's useful as hell (and it's still perfectly immersive unlike Halo or COD because the hotkey simply equips, pulls the pin, and throws by holding one button rather than needing to use quick select hotkeys or sort through it all manually).

I have yet to test it out, but I know that an older mod had some glitches and took a toll on the frame rate.

Some bounties will involve the person initiating conversation first, and you can convince them to surrender rather than fight.

Cartoon Violence posted:Just a quick question - Is it possible that the game engine has too many mods and just outright can't run? I'm doing an insane "kitchen sink" mod run of the game, and after I've been constantly installing and testing each batch I get. It's been working fine, but after my final few were added, I've run into a strange bug where I can load the game and my save fine at first. After that, the ESC Pause menu won't come up, but the game is running, combat works, etc. If I try to fast travel somewhere, the confirmation has the Yes and No options jumbled together so they can't be clicked, and thus the game is stuck. I've tried making a merge patch for the whole set of mods, and I'm using 4GB and NVAC as well. I can't find anything clashing with each other, especially in such an odd way. I've had that happen as well. It could also be some mods conflicting; I've had setups where running a specific mod or two (like Powered Power Armor or Freeside Open) in conjunction with the rest would cause that problem. It could also be something that overwrites the HUD and UI files, especially if you have a mod that did that already and a new one overrides the override.

Won't replace the UI for it, but Craft Master and Craft Pack do exactly what you want for sperging out. Just about every item in the game can be broken down into component pieces that can be remade into just about any other item; you can break down ash trays for lead for your guns, for instance, or melt down metal objects like cutlery and pots and pans to reforge into blades. It goes so far as to add chemicals and salts (which you can get from fire extinguishers) to let you go even deeper.
