WME was slow to develop compatibility patches for some of the new mods that came out. A World of Pain didn't have a compatibility patch until like 2 months ago and that mod has been around for a long rear end time.

Presently it's a moot point though and the hiatus being taken by the WMX author is probably going to cause me to switch back to WME.

Yeah, when I set my latest build order WME just flat out wouldn't work with some other items on my modlist, whereas WMX was "install mod, check included patch ESP in load order, done." If that changes, that's cool. I can use WME next time.
Also I retain my bitterness towards early FOOK in FO3 SO YOU KNOW :mad: I'm assuming it's super way better at this point, though.

I've never had a problem with Electrocity and I've used it (am currently using it) :confused: New vegas! never consistent.

as for an Armory-compatible Lombard, I too would love this since Lombard Station is amazing but you'd have to practically double the weapon wall space. Integrating it into the existing walls would be brutal, but maybe making a new Armory wall and setting it where the two tables are, basically turning the wall from an L-shape to a U-shape might work.

but seriously my weapon and ammo walls with all the DLC looks so badass.

I wouldn't know anything about applying mods to the PS3 version of the game, but I imagine there are several issues with this approach (somebody correct me if I'm wrong):

As far as I know you're correct for the most part, but Morrowind on Xbox did allow for some but not all PC mod ports. The comparison isn't ideal since the Xbox was x86 architecture just like PC, and the PS3 most certainly isn't, but there is some history for limited modding of Gamebryo on console.

If a mod is just some scripting changes and fixes, those are probably going to execute the same. The more complex the mod gets, the chances of it working plummet like a rock. And I'm sure there are some wicked pitfalls where some seemingly innocuous mod would make the game self destruct for no real reason.

Bounties 2 is kinda terrible. They decided that the bounties you did in the first one weren't nearly so difficult so they throw you into a bunch of bullshit encounters. The worst I came across was "Prometheus" which was basically several waves of super-hard super mutants and finally Prometheus himself who is practically a behemoth.

I agree Bounties 2 jacks up the difficulty a lot, but I found it wasn't so bad aside from that one underground training camp murdering my system for rendering 75 enemies in one zone. I actually had use for - hell, needed - traps, area-effect grenades (like MFC clusters) and heavy weapons like nukes and the auto grenade launchers and stuff. Once I wrapped my head around the idea of needing to bring both my traditional precision rifle (of whatever type) but ALSO area-denial/area-effect weapons, I actually started liking it more. I got to use a wide range of weapons I normally don't even bother with.

I'm not pretending that's 100% a positive, but I ended up less annoyed than I thought I'd be.

Electro-City used to plonk this huge ELECTRO-CITY POWERPLANT FACILITY or whatever right in the middle of 95 north of Novac. It doesn't anymore. They also reduced the large size of the "Powered By Electro-City" signs which were on every single lightpole.

I think it may be a little more modular these days? I don't know - anyway, I think Electro-City is solid. Been using it for a couple months and had no problems. And it's a lot less obnoxious about talking itself up after you installed it already.

Does CASM eliminate any issues with vanilla quicksave/autosave, or does it just stave off the inevitable?

Eliminates, in my experience. Splitsoul is generally correct as to why most saves get bloated, but there is a quicksave/autosave bug with Gamebryo that CASM avoids. There's been a quicksave bug reported in FO3, FONV, and Skyrim, so there's gotta be something going on.

Thing is, I can edit the ini, sure, but is there an ENB ini editing guide for dummies? One that's specific to NV or not, I just need to know things like "if I want less bloom do I set this closer to 0 or do I set this closer to 1" and things like how exactly night/day contrast values work and a bunch of stuff really.

There's a mod - I'll see if I can find it - which makes a custom station for you. All you have to do is put music files in the right folder. Is that what you're looking for? Basically you supply the mp3s (or whatever audio format it needs, I forget) and it does the rest. If you want just an extender, that's Secret Stash or More Where That Came From or whatever which comes with a custom radio station and music already.

e: okay now it modifies Radio New Vegas, but http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/36835 - there are other ones which make a custom station but they're much less user friendly, so go with whatever works best.

Of course we all know the custom radio station you want is this one: http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/48039 :shepicide:

I don't think I was last night, but I just did and that didn't change anything. Still crash immediately on load after entering the first elevator in Outpost Lambda, using FNV4G.

Guess I'm just going to load up an earlier save and ditch The Inheritance.

Did a little more investigating - It's a known problem, but it's really erratic how it hits. One person reported success by dialing every in-game setting down to minimum, graphics and the like to get him through the problem spot (i.e. Lambda) I guess you'll have to until/unless someone comes up with a good workaround.

real quick,
Project Nevada - Cyberware.esp
Project Nevada - Equipment.esm

Unless PN says explicitly to do so, I believe having ESMs after ESPs is a bad idea.

Making a merged patch will let you deal with two+ mods which modify the same thing and I don't know enough about PN to say whether you need one. They aren't, usually, bad ideas - especially if you have a lot of small mods rolling them all into one merged is a lot better insofar as NV is concerned since modcount gets cranky after a while. With the number you have it shouldn't be a problem, but might be something you want to keep in mind as a first option if you get trouble.

Lord Lambeth posted:

That honestly sounds really nitpicky. Unless it adds more bugs then it takes out, I see no reason not to include it.

You have to ask yourself who the audience is for your modpack. MM changes a lot of things - a lot. And they aren't documented. So right there you're telling your audience "you have to trust me that the changes in here - which I can't list for you because they don't list - are good." Now arguably that's the case of any modpack, but at least in any other case I can refer to documentation for mods and see what has changed and decide if it's for me. If you include MM, it becomes "you have to trust me and there is literally no way to find out."

Also, Mission Mojave (or any 'unofficial patch') is in my experience irrelevant to the stability of NV - at best you break even, and more likely you're worse off. If you personally haven't had a problem, that's all well and good. Does it deserve to be in a modpack meant for the 'all in one making New Vegas better experience' - what I think you're trying for? I'd argue no.

I have a question about interior lighting. I've been cycling through ENBs lately and the problem I'm finding is a lot of interior lighting is too directional (so you get really harsh relief shadows) and too dark.

I'm wondering how easy is it to tweak interior lighting - or whether or not Interior Lighting Overhaul would help? It says "makes dark things darker!" which is sort of the opposite of my interest.

It might be possible to just open up ILO in FNVEdit (so that you have a convenient list of all of the cell lighting edits) and then change the values to brighten up the cells. Save and use the mod as if you had never tweaked it. It'd definitely be simpler than making your own plugin, especially since you just want to make poo poo brighter. It's been a long time since I played around with those values, so I can't really give extensive advice, but this would be the route I'd take.

I actually solved this in a really ridiculous way. There were only a few cells where I was really irked about it being too drat dark - mostly in my hideout/player owned places. So: Glow Sticks. Just bought a few from Chet and tossed them into the room. Problem solved.

It kind of looks like there's a slight blue filter, is there? If so, I kind of like that. Nevada Skies removes all filters entirely and it makes a lot of things look really neon and weird in certain lights, especially in Goodsprings.

During the day with blue skies, yes, you get some blue tint. Some ENBs are practically perma-blueshifted, not this one.
