World of Pain
Adds ~35 completely new dungeons, buildings, and locations to the Mojave, complete with ultra-violence, tons of enemies, and big rewards.

Can't recommend this enough. New Vegas feels too bare and I really missed all the "fight & loot" dungeon action from F3. This brings all that fun back. Some of the stuff is a little odd (cigarette factory built into the side of a mountain?) but it's fun to play which is all that matters.

Any way I might be able to apply the Caravan Shotgun retexture to the Sturdy Caravan Shotgun? It looks so much better.

As cool as this looks, it probably won't work with the Roberts bodies (which I need for the Geonox armor) and the Ling hair mod, right?

I might be wrong, but I don't recall the original FO3 Project Beauty conflicting with body replacers. Since the mod only replaces facial data, I think you *should* be good. LING's on the other hand...

Only used Lings for the Cass/Veronica makeover really. Does the Beauty project improve either of them?

Took a look and it looks like it conflicts with upper body textures, so mixing it with Roberts won't work. So I can't use the best custom armor (Geonox Riot Armor), but the men in this game will also no longer look like Abercrombie & Fitch models in striped speedos so I guess I can deal with the trade off.

If you open the GECK, load up the core master .esm, the pre-order .esm and the mod, you should be able to just look at the Caravan Shotgun, open the pre-order Caravan Shotgun, and set the .nifs/models to be the same as the mod's settings. Then save it to your own .esp, close GECK, run the launcher, add your .esp to the data, and run the game.

Actually the Caravan Shotgun retex wasn't an .esp, it was just the .dds files in a folder. So I found out what the Sturdy needed and made folders and renamed everything. Put the files in Data\Textures\NVDLCPre3\Weapons\2handrifle and renamed the files to 1stpersonpreordshotgun.dds and 3rdpersonpreordshotgun.dds (along with those "_n") files and it worked.

Also added the Challenge/Perk Fixes mod so it would work with Shotgun Surgeon and such.

Look at my post a few posts up, you can use his regular CS retex for the Sturdy. A new alternate retex would be pretty cool though.

I'm close to being done making a "Bonus Pack" (like the pre-order stuff) that uses some custom textures & such and figured I might as well stick it all in an .esm like the real ones. What's the *easiest* program for creating an .esm? I can't deal with any command line bullshit.

Just finished my first mod - a Talon Company themed "Pre-Order Bonus Pack" that works just like the official DLC packs. I think I balanced it pretty well for starting players. Feedback would be much appreciated.

quote:

What brings this lone mercenary all the way from the Capital Wasteland? The Talon Pack includes:

Lightweight Talon Combat Armor - Now made with new lighter polymers and built for speed, this Combat Armor shrugs off enemy fire as you rush into battle.
(Light Armor, DT 12, WT 15, HP 200, Repair w/Combat Armor)

Hardened Assault Rifle � Made in China, tempered in the Wasteland. You�ve scavenged weapon parts from fallen foes to modify your standard issue rifle into a reliable, ruthless dealer of death.
(DAM 11, Fire Rate 8, Clip Size 24, Crit Bonus x1.5, HP 600, Repair w/Service Rifles and Marksman Carbines)

Raptor Combat Knife � Durable and deadly, it�s the perfect knife to bring to a gunfight.
(DAM 15, Crit Bonus x2.5, HP 120)

200 5.56mm Rounds � You eat Wasteland scum for breakfast, so you threw away food and Stimpacks to make room for more bullets.

(FYI I used no Fallout 3 assets in this - everything is modified NV files)

I'd put the Chinese Rifle's damage to 16 at the least. 11 is only one more damage than the silenced .22 SMG and the other preorder weapons have significant damage bonuses compared to their ingame counterparts.

Yeah, but it's a skill 0 full auto weapon you can get at the start of the game, so if anything I was afraid it would be overpowered. I tried to balance that out by keeping the damage/fire rate true to the original (but with a slightly increased crit bonus). So while you'll find guns later on that do more normal damage, it won't degrade as fast as other full auto guns (200 more HP than an Assault Carbine) and uses commonly available ammo.

"Overpowered" or "underpowered" might not mean much in a PC game where you can give yourself any weapon you want with a console command, but I was trying to make something balanced that felt like an official DLC.

You do such great work. I should have begged you to do a Chinese Assault Rifle retex for my Talon Pack thing. My retex skills are pretty much just "make part of it greyscale."

Speaking of SMGs, are there any mod out there making them two handed like this one for F3?

Just updated my Talon Pack. Improved the Hardened Assault Rifle Stats (increased base damage (16 DAM x 8 ROF), allowed for multiple ammo types, etc.) and it now has an awesome skin by Arenovalis! Thanks, man!

And of course the Nexus chose this exact moment to crash, so here's a RapidShare link. If you already have the pack just overwrite both files.

Basically, it dumps everything into a container behind Doc Mitchell's house. The mod itself consists of portions of other armors that have been "torn off", and are instead handled like accessories, allowing you to do stuff like have a bandolier on leather armor.

Just what I've been looking for!

All these "realistic lighting" mods just look like fullbright was turned on. I haven't seen one yet that looked good. And I don't care how many lit streetlights you mod in, every single darker night mod just means "can't see two feet in front of my face." Wouldn't the Strip and the moon make things brighter anyway?

I just don't see the appeal of these things everyone else does. Gamebryo doesn't seem to be made for "realistic lighting." I would much rather have something stylized like Infernal Sky.

You'll have to spawn this stuff through console for now, but I may build a quest around it in the future.

That looks great, can't wait to try it out.

Here's how I made a quest in the G.E.C.K. to make my pack automatically spawn stuff in the player's inventory like the DLC packs:

In the Object Window, create a new message script (or edit an existing one, change the ID, and save as new form) in Miscellaneous/Message. Enter as follows:

ID: DLCExampleNotice
Icon: NONE
Title: Example Pack
Message Box: (checked)
Message Text: Example Pack items added to inventory.

Everything else should be blank. Go to Actor Data/Quest and create a new Quest. In the Quest Data tab (other tabs should be default and left alone) enter:

Quest Name: (This can be left blank)
ID: ExamplePackQuest
Priority: 1
Start Game Enabled: (checked)
Script Processing Delay: (Check Default)

Everything else should be blank/default. Click OK at the bottom to create the quest. The re-open ExamplePackQuest, click the "..." next to Script. In the Script Editing window, Click Script/New. For Script Type select Quest in the drop down box. Then enter:

code:

ScriptName ExamplePackQuestSCRIPT

short doonce

begin gamemode

if doonce == 0

ShowMessage DLCExampleNotice 1
Player.AddItem ExampleWeapon 1
Player.AddItem ExampleArmor 1
Player.AddItem ExampleWhateverelsejustusetheItemNameandNOTtheFormIDnumber 5
stopquest ExamplePackQuest
set doonce to 1

endif

end

Then click Save, then Exit. Unless there's an error in the script it should just close. Click OK to close the Quest window, DON'T just select the script in the drop down window because it may not show up yet. Give it a moment. Maybe go to Misclellaneous/Script and make sure it's there, THEN go back to the quest, Select ExamplePackQuestSCRIPT in the drop down window and click OK. Then save the plugin file as ExamplePackQuest.esp

For a single item you can just put this stuff in the item's .esp. Since I was making an all in one pack I made it all an .esm using FNVEdit. Convert ExamplePackQuest.esp into the actual .esm file, then add the weapons and such into it.

A World of Pain just got updated.

quote:

LAST UPDATED 15/01/11
Version 0.3 is complete!
Battle your way into The Underground in a new four part quest.
10 new locations added and three major locations altered & expanded.
New areas:
Underground Access West
Underground Incomplete Sector
The Abyss
Hershey's Bar
Worker's Barracks
Unused Mini-Vault Home
Underground Reactor Sector B
Power Station B
2x Abandoned Underground Houses

Plus some other changes detailed in the link.

Note that this is a LOOT HEAVY mod. As in every dungeon is like the end of Dead Money. The reduced loot version won't be out until after he's all done. So you might want a few of these:

I'm almost kind of wishing the World of Pain guy wasn't putting quests in there. It's really odd talking to NPCs with no voice acting, and if they DO put in voice acting the likelihood is high that it will suck.

Just give me a bunch of dungeons with loot and monsters, that's all I want. Maybe give them some atmosphere with some terminals with old logs or notes to read, maybe a radio signal.

Periodiko posted:

How badly does that unbalance the rest of the game? Is it just a lot of crap?

In some places, just 1 or two guys can hold as much loot as one of the vanilla NV locations. And that doesn't count the rest of the stuff in the dungeon.

Usually you have to fight through a lot of poo poo to get to it, but it does kind of dull the thrill of discovery when you just know every guy you kill is going to have a full inventory full of stuff.

He has heard the complaints and will release a reduced loot version without the special variant weapons ("Assault Carbine M" etc.) but that won't be until he's done with the whole thing.

What also annoys the poo poo out of me on the Nexus are the guys who actually make good stuff but write like loving retards, so you don't know where they put the stuff or how to use things etc.

Like this guy: http://newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35668
In the description he lists three different places for the armor pack to be, but none of them are correct. They are at Gunrunners and I only found that out by scrolling down 17 pictures in the images section.

(I'm not talking about people whose first language isn't English, those guys usually try to be understandable.)

I was using Populated Wasteland, because it did add a lot to the atmosphere, but it hasn't been updated in forever (extra vendors at the 188 don't work) and it's unstable as hell - getting rid of it stopped the crashes I thought were being caused by A World of Pain.

I did try Nevada while it worked and I can live without it. The only thing that really appealed to me was the slower backward movement and I can find another mod that does it or make it myself.

That's the curse of every Bethesda game since Morrowind. The game transforms from something you play to something you tweak, expand on, and create. Then it's no longer about playing the game to its conclusion but instead creating this goddamned monstrosity where the real yardstick for success is stability.

That's why I started playing Bethesda games on console first - so I can actually play the game as it was made. Then when I'm done, my friend gets it as a xmas present and I start a new game on PC and start downloading every mod that looks halfway interesting. A day later, I'm armed to the teeth with 8 fully armored companions and driving a magical flying death castle.
