Just going to repost the download link for the retexture of the that awesome original Rhino hand cannon, minus all the tacky writing n' poo poo on it. This rar includes the normal map fix I had to do a few days afterwards, by the way.

I won't bother relinking the weapons pack I did very early on as a lot of them have been ported over by their original authors. I think the only weapons left in my pack that haven't been converted yet were the few melee weapons I did. Meh.

I added your mod, but I can't recall if it still requires the original to be downloaded for resource purposes or not. Both are in the OP link, regardless.

Yeah, it's just a texture replacement for the original Rhino gun carbon texture. The other two alternate textures are even gaudier and aren't even worth the time to remove the text and logos from 'cuz they'll still be hideous. Author's a fairly talented man making the PPC and this Rhino gun from scratch, but I'm not exactly sure what he was thinking when he made the Rhino's original textures.

Somebody is going to scold me for this and tell me this causes conflicts or is the wrong way to do it because you should be using some iteration of Wrye Bash instead:

1. Open up FNVEdit.
2. Check whatever plugins you want to merge (they will all be checked by default.)
3. Check OK and allow them all to load.
4. When it's finished, right click somewhere on the left screen, where all of the plugins are listed. Select "Create Merged Patch" (the option is about halfway down the list) and see if FNVEdit decides to create merge the mods you selected.
5. Make sure the merged patch loads AFTER every mod it concerns.

Ah yes, now I remember it and feel silly for asking. And it should be just fine - it's just several separate single weapon mods I'd simply like to merge together. None of them even have scripts so I should be fine.

So did anyone save that mod with the Mass Effect 2 armor before it was taken down? It sounded cool. Also another cool mod is the bouncing natural breasts mod! I saw it in the top 25 and it adds breast bones to give each breast an amazing bounce with each step!

Apparently the author was tired of the pitiful "nubs" that women had in other body replacement mods or by default so he and a few other dudes literally spent hundreds of hours fixing them. If only there was a way to combine this with the Star Fox mod to create the Best Mod of All Time.

A "copyright infringing" mod like that would get shoved onto Fallout Underground, unfortunately. I say unfortunately because the sign up rules for that site are un-loving-real. But ya know what I find most amusing about all that copyright poo poo? The fact that the site just revels in all of those gun mods, which infringes on all the manufacturer's rights, or armor sets that are featured from anime like the Gantz one and a few others. They're nice armors, but they break copyright laws too. I digress though - we could spend ages criticizing Nexus' stupid upload rules.

That being said, I'm hoping someone will eventually port the Crysis armor mod over to New Vegas. I have it and am more than capable of porting the armor itself over, but I'm not so confident about porting the script that came along with it that actually activated the Maximum Armor/Speed/etc poo poo. Lore breaking as gently caress, but it was a sexy looking suit that was fun to mess around in.

The only copyright infringing stuff is the direct rips from other games. Of which there is a lot on f3underground. Made from scratch stuff like the Gantz mod infringes on no copyrights unless they try to sell it.

The stuff made from scratch, maybe, though they're still infringing on trademarks at that point, but I still stand by my point on the majority of the gun mods most of which are actually ripped from other games and converted for use in F3. There are a few hand made ones, but a lot of them are ganked with no issues at all from the admins. It's just a stupid pit of hypocrisy that site enforces is all I'm saying.

I'm using several separate weapon mods but going from memory the ones shown here are from these mods:

- Samurai Beretta, with the plain retexture that you can get from FO3's nexus
- Matchmaster from Wanted
- Custom 1911
- 19th and 20th Injection
- Rhino Pistol
- Dan Wesson's PPC
- Sig P226
- DLC Impulse Pack (that's the fancier DE)
- A few weapons I ported over myself from the old thread, but I think you can find them on NV nexus like the MK23, USP Match
- Springfield XD I think, but I haven't put it up on the wall yet.

Yes, it's part of the display area. The armory holds my entire collection of NV stock weapons, of which I'm only missing two, plus all of my ammo. I don't really use the rest of the hideout though.

...and started on Shotty Row, though I'm pretty much nearly done it. Not much of a shotgun fan, but I figure I'll dedicate at least two portions of display area for them. I basically play for a little bit and when I come back to the base, I hang up a few more. Eventually all of my weapons will be hangin'. Most of my custom armors are on display too. Tis a ballin' room, I must say. Once I'm done, I'll have to make a fraps video tour or something disgusting like that.

That being said, I'm thinking about making a small mod to compliment UHNV - the lighting in the entire place is way too dark for my tastes and I'm thinking about adding more ambient lighting and increasing the brightness of the current ones.

Any of you Nifskope/Blender sexperts have PM/are able to talk me through some stuff? I've done some work on a new pistol in Lightwave, because that's the only tool I'm familiar with, but once I import the finished modified OBJ files, I can't seem to assign the textures to the modified meshes. The UV maps are made for all of them and the textures should be the exact same, but there's nothing showing up nor can I figure out how to fix it :(

Man, why Lightwave 9 doesn't support DDS file formats is beyond me. I'm gonna try a couple things, but I may really need someone who's familiar with Blender and/or someone with Max to give me a hand assigning the DDS textures to my UV maps. You won't have to do anything except actually assign the DDS texture to replace the TIFF files I'm forced to use right now in testing within Lightwave. I swear to god, Lightwave 10 better support it right out of the box or Newtek should just give up advertising that their software is for game development uses as well.

Well, finally finished it, I think aside from tweaking the mesh like the front sights, the rail, and possibly the grip. Gonna put it in game to test later, but I think I'm just going to leave it as a resource file and let someone else far better at texturing than me can attempt doing the skin to what it should be above. If I attempt it, I'll just gently caress it right up. Someone on Nexus will do it at some point, I'm sure. Those curious, it's a Smith n' Wesson 500 and it's total gun porn.

Nice little small, easy project to see if I could manage to use Lightwave and Nifskope together at least for modeling, though I'm not exactly sure if I can animate in it too... I'll have to get rear end deep in some Blender/3DS tutorials for Gamebryo and see if I can't apply the same knowledge to a different tool assuming I have all the right import/export plugins.

Welp, pretty much done loving around with the mesh. All I need to do now is redo some of the UV maps and then release it as a mesh resource to let someone else gently caress around with the textures. I decided to scrap using the stock 44 and used a colt anaconda as the base for the frame to save me some time and just started tweaking and building from there. Good enough for a start I think and should make the revolver users happy for another hand cannon option.

Benelli M3 separated from Ahztek's pack, though the settings are probably different between the two mods - I was in the middle of porting this before I found out that he already did and took his updated meshes/textures/iron sights. Location's in Goodspring's Gas Station. Do tell me if I messed up the file folder structure for the mod release or something like that, but it appears to work in my game thus far. As always, feel free to tweak it yourself in GECK if there's something you don't like.

edit: wow, this guy's total amateur hour - hardcoded texture locations that forces you to install your game in the same folder structure he uses? Jesus christ. I should do everyone a favour and port the whole mod over minus the replacer just to spite him.

About 75% done fixing the texture paths on this pack. This is so mindnumbing. Dreading the M4A1 because there were fifteen million separate textures on each and every AR15 variation and there were like 10 of those so that was plenty of fun right there. Personally, I like the missing textures that aren't even in the pack period forcing me to track down whatever mod he stole from so I can get 'em. Good times.

Question for later, is there a way to duplicate items in GECK within the Object Window? Some of these guns have multiple variants and while it'd be a nice project way down the line to simply make them moddable like in the game that's not something I want to do right now. That being said, I'd rather only make one entry and duplicate it for the same stats while changing the ID and art files. Please tell me this is possible...

That's generally how I go about making new weapons/armor as well, just duplicating existing stuff and slightly alter stats and art.

How would I go about doing it? From memory, there's nothing in the right click menu. I think. Been a while since I've done serious GECK work beyond a quick weapon port where I didn't need to do any duplication.

I now have such an unfathomable hatred for the AR15 and all its similar variants. M14, SAW, and M16 are the last to fix before the work in GECK starts.

Out of curiosity, while I'm doing this unofficially anyway, should I just add some of those separate weapon mods into the same pack? It's not like this will ever go on Nexus (because I refuse to track down each and every fucker that ever even sniffed at one of these things) and it's already pretty big.

As I'm balancing these guns, I realize that they are already set up for the stock mod system. So I scrapped his custom mod system and made a 'universal' set of mods that will work for those guns in the pack that can take them. So if you want a silencer for 3 different guns in the pack, the same modkit 'silencer' will work for any of them. Simplifies things for me a lot. Also, making pretty good progress here. Might even be able to release a version for testing tonight depending on how I feel, but likely tomorrow.
