Out of curiosity, why did you go this route instead of a weapon bone that the silencers/scopes/whatever could be positioned correctly to? As another guy said earlier, new mods have to have all iterations generated because of the separate nif files for each. Seems like a lot of work for both the modders and your artists.

As the guy doing the one big unofficial weapon mod pack thing (roughly 75 guns, 45 melee so far no including variants) for the peeps in this thread and spending the past two days adding modifications to weapons that didn't have them, it's actually incredibly easy to do. I'm an amateur using amateur tools like nifskope and I've been able to do close to 40 weapons in maybe 10 hours of time invested. So long as I have the models and the bits n' pieces are separate like they should be, it's so incredibly easy to do it the way it's done now for so very little time invested. And that's as an amateur.

Back in FO3 there was a mod that let you have a pistol type weapon on your hip, and a rifle weapon on your back at the same time. It did nothing but look cool.

Is there something like this for Vegas?

If you can find it, perhaps we can go abouts converting it.

Did the guy who was working on the not-poo poo version of Ahztek ever upload it?

Just want to make sure I didn't miss it.

No, but only because I've made it so much more than just Ahztek's stuff. Currently about ~70 guns are in the pack and it's a combination of weapons that are freely available for NV on Nexus and a bunch that were available but not all that popular in FO3 and I've made most of them moddable using the in-game modding system - even commonly popular weapon mods that don't have them right now. I also added roughly 45 melee weapons which should make you melee people pretty pleased. On top of that I've been rebalancing some of them too and I'm going to have to add iron sights to a bunch of them that lack them. All in all, it's a lot of work and I will likely need a handful of people to help me test and give feedback.

That being said, progress has been slow the past couple days because I've taken a break to work on a custom set of armor for my character which I may also release later too. We'll see though. I'm hoping to make a lot of progress this weekend though because I'm finally done modifying meshes and textures so now it's just a matter of implementing each of them in GECK.

That sounds incredible. Thanks for devoting all this work for the community. I've made a habit of collecting every weapon in the game and I just need more.

For the most part I avoided stuff you could get with the 19th and 20th injection mod on Nexus for a few reasons - first that I don't like a whole lot of the textures on those guns and second because it's already pretty big. But combining the two of them will give you a sickening amount of weapons to play with and I do believe I've crossed over with a few. Meh.

I'm not all that smooth with GECK though so for anyone looking for this massive armory to be displayed in the game may have to wait for a very long time unless someone handy with the editor would like to volunteer in that regard. I'd certainly love to have all of them hanging on a wall but if I do it, it will suck :P

Actually it doesn't have to do with reanimated pistols--I know this because the speedloader clipping through the back of the pistol became apparent a while back when I was using one of the original WME versions. I'm not sure what the cause is, but I do know that WME's author acknowledged at one point and didn't seem to know how to prevent it from happening.

Hmmm. I'll have to have the people testing when I'm done look out for it too then.

How do I remove Master file dependencies in GECK? I accidentally had Calibr.esm checked when working on my mod and now it's an unwanted master for the weapon pack. I tried removing it in FNVEdit and it didn't work.

Also, if I can get some dedicated time to work on this thing without life pestering me, I'm actually pretty close to finishing this thing for testing.

Right click the .esp in FNVEdit and click Clean Masters. It removes master files that the .esp does not actually use anything from.

Hi, just wanted to say that I am anxiously awaiting your mod!

I have the next two nights more or less free of the woman so I can do a LOT of the last bit of tedious work remaining. I'm fairly confident I can get it all done by then for testing. And it WILL need a lot of testing... there's a shitload of weapons here and I need to make sure that all of the textures are in place for each one, that all of the modifications are working properly for each one, that they're not too over-powered, which don't have working iron sights (there'll be a few though I think most are good), that the unique melee skills I made work properly etc.

Anyone interested in helping out would be appreciated and in return for the help I'll promise to add any weapons testers want that I somehow don't have in the pack already and aren't in another mega-pack like the 19th/20th injection.

Something of this size, it'd be preferable to just get reports from a few people via email rather than spam up this thread with dozens of people reporting the same thing over n' over.

So, guy whose doing the huge weapon mod, are you planning on adding scripts to make things around the world use these items, or is it just gonna be a crate? it's fine either way, just curious. Also which mods exactly are you grabbing all the resources for the weapons from?

Just a few crates to start, though down the road I (or anyone else) could spread them around, add them to NPCs, make them part of quests, hide them in various places, etc. I'm a pretty open guy and since I'm not doing this 'officially' in the sense that I'm contacting all the authors and poo poo to beg them for permission to reuse the poo poo they begged someone else to use from another game, I'm totally game to anyone else doing whatever they want to do to add to the mod or edit it. I'd be a hypocrite otherwise.

edit: whoops forgot the second part of the question: I'm grabbing them from existing FNV weapon ports and FO3 weapon packs that haven't been ported. I have, however, done a lot of custom work to a great many of weapons that you may already have for FNV to add modifications and make them compatible with the in-game modification system. I've probably also rebalanced them to be more in tune with the stock weaponry so the goal is to have no real super weapons.

Ooookay, what I thought FNVEdit was bitching about wasn't right and am thoroughly confuzzled now.

Basically, a few of my weapons have this error:
Effect - Mod 3 -> <Unknown: 0>
Effect - Mod 2 -> <Unknown: 0>
Effect - Mod 1 -> <Unknown: 0>
Above errors were found in :DNAM -

And a few have the same error, except there's random numbers in the unknown parts that seem to have nothing to do with any of the values within the weapons themselves. I thought it had something to do with the weapon mod portion of the guns, but some of them don't have ANY mods to them and are simply blank so I'm not entirely certain what the issue is.

Unfortunately, until I resolve this I can't ever clean my mod of the Calibr.esm master since FNVEdit won't save it due to those errors. :(

Yeah, I was in the same boat for most of those same reasons. At some point I'll probably start pulling some of the better weapons from the bigger packs to put into this one, but I more or less am forcing myself to focus on what I already got to prevent 'feature creep' issues. 20th Injection is nice, but it has a lot of weapons with some awful textures in it. Anyway, back to the grind.

Hey cream, how can I change this rifle(AW50) to fire like the Gobi(no manual chambering required) and just have a small period between shooting? Right now I have to pull the pin back after I fire, similar to the Anti-Mat rifle, and I want it to fire without having to do that. I've already tried to edit the Fire Rate (to 1.00), and the Attack Multipler(to 1.6500), but now it just reloads the round really fast, instead of removing that animation all together.

What's the reload animation for the AW50? The Gobi's is ReloadC whereas the AM is ReloadO. Try changing it to C.

While you're at it, I'm wondering if changing the reload animation is even necessary...you might be able to get away with just changing the attack animation. If you try this, let me know if it works.

Yeah, the only reason why I mentioned it is that sometimes things are fluky, especially with mods. You never know how they're animated and I've been fooled before. Either way, altering one or both should technically fix it.

Bah. I hate odd quirks in GECK. No matter how much I rebuild this one mesh and resave it, it constantly causes GECK to crash which leads me to believe that it's not the meshes' fault. Oh well, I'll just have to leave out this particular mod variant until I fix it or alter it.

Wow. Just did a final count of the weapons: 98 projectile/energy (not including modded variants), 41 melee. I feel like I should remove one melee and add two more projectile weapons just to round it out. The hardest work is all done now, just to do the final balance tweaks to the remaining guns left in GECK, place my testing containers in the world and start putting together the first testing package. Which will be huge, even if I am using a LOT of stock resources.

Out of curiosity, anyone know of the/a fix for the slightly tilted gun mesh when iron sighting? I've got about 4 revolvers that are iron sighted correctly as far as I can tell, but the mesh in game appears to be tilting to the left while the bullet fires straight. The mesh is fine and the iron sights also seem to be fine, so it's driving me crazy. If I can resolve it, I basically have another 4 or 5 perfectly working guns in my pack...

Ok, NVSE loads ONLY if I disable UAC and run through Steam. Disabling UAC and running through FOMM (which does recognize NVSE is there) doesn't work. Would installing Steam and/or FOMM outside Program Files (x86) do anything?

Probably as I have steam and thus NV installed to a separate partition with Windows 7 64 and don't have any issues with NVSE. Perhaps the thing where Windows restricts file permissions is interfering with the two.
