potaties posted:As for disabling the weather effects, do you mean the cloudy/foggy/whatever settings, or the rainstorms/sandstorms? I wasn't sure which to disable, but it was going pretty crash-free for the 5-10 minutes I farted around with it. Cloudy/foggy/etc, until you disable them you're actually using Nevada Skies lighting for the daytime instead of URWL lighting. Not disabling them isn't likely to cause crashes, and you might even prefer to play with them enabled when all is said and done, but do keep in mind that they totally overwrite URWL, so it comes down to what you want to pick. Sandstorms and Rain should still happen with these options disabled since they're scripted but you might need to change their frequency in the hygrograph as kind of an "on switch" before they start occurring, it runs the add script for these options which is necessary since you're using URWL's climate settings instead of Nevada Skies.

potaties posted:I'm not 100% positive that's even necessary, though. It seems to be for an older version of URWL, so I think they're just natively compatible now, aside from disabling the weather effects in Nevada Skies. I haven't looked at the NS guy's compatibility patch but I do know that it's badly outdated, I'll put this on the list to check out tomorrow.

Hobo on Fire posted:For all you guys yakking about lighting, the ElectroCity and URWL guys just put up a lighting controller accessible in game: That's pretty amazing, makes it so you don't need to use multiple mods at once and fudge with load order - just pick URWL, Fellout or Nevada Skies and tweak it to your liking. Also can make nights as dark as you really want them to be.

Anyone know what the typical reason is for "flickering" textures, or textures that flash in and out at a very quick pace? I have a couple spots in my game where it totally ruins the mood, and I'm trying to figure out a way to correct it.

Welp, I was about to finish up something similar myself in the GECK but the guy who made URWL beat me to it. Looks like Marcurios has finally altered Nevada Skies to use URWL's color schemes, which means you can FINALLY get Nevada Skies' sunrises, skies and sunsets along with URWL's saturation/contrast tweaks. You can pick it up at the URWL main mod page: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35570 You can still use the URWL Darker Nights mod after as long as you load it later in your load order. Recommended load order is as follows: (optional) URWLNV (Is it still necessary to load this?? I have no idea, there are some materials packaged in it that aren't in the URWLified NS esp - either way, it's not likely to cause crashes if you do) Electro-City - completed workorders ELectro-City - Highways and Byways Nevada Skies - URWLified (optional)URWLNV Darker Night Electro-City - Imaginator This is the sweet spot for making NV look as good as it can look in my opinion, it combines the two best parts of the two best mods AND you can tweak it yourself with imaginator. Here's a few screenshots of the new weather:  Click here for the full 1680x1050 image.  Click here for the full 1680x1050 image.  Click here for the full 1512x945 image.

9 times out of 10 that type of thing happens because you have a glitchy animation mod, and you're moving before the animation finishes in first person mode. I don't see anything in your load order that looks like a smoking gun but many animation mods are not based on ESPs, and I don't use some of the stuff you do so I wouldn't know if it contains animation glitches.

I took a look at a few of them and felt the same thing about simply darkening the existing texture, and for the most part that's exactly what he did. He did sharpen a couple of details though that result in a marginally higher quality texture overall, so it's not totally without some production value.

You can see it at 0:29 in the below link, it's no where near as nice as Metro's of course. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juMWKWR_BCo The other ones are pretty horrible though IMO, so I doubt I'll keep that feature enabled for the one helmet that isn't an awful design choice.

Anal Surgery posted:I'm certain it's probably the latter, I just don't know how to check that or what to do about it. I actually suspect it might be the former, incompatibilities between two mods do happen pretty much all the time and BOSS only removes like 50% of them. There's nothing inherently bad about some mods but sometimes when you use them together with other mods it can cause crashes, FNVEdit helps catch things like this sometimes but it's not a foolproof solution. In the case of Mordaedil it's a little more cut and dry, the disappearing hair and texture swapping I'm almost 100% sure is a mod conflict. The water texture swapping is actually something that used to happen all the time in FO3 because Fellout conflicted with Broken Steel until a compatibility patch was developed.

Gyshall posted:another edit: Does anyone know how crafting/repair lists work? Is there an option to merge them in Wyre Bash at all? My concern is that I'm starting to add more crafting mods and I don't know if one will overwrite other crafting lists or not. First off, Crafting and repair lists aren't the same thing at all. Repairing of weapons and armor is handled by Form IDs, which are basically the game's way of grouping multiple items together for reference by an object. Unless you're using Wrye Bash or FNVEdit to merge your FORM ID lists you're always going to have one mod overwriting the other as long as more than one makes changes to the repair lists for the same weapon, but with bashed patches you can overcome this. I actually recommend that you almost never use bashed patches unless you REALLY understand what you're doing, but FORM ID lists are the one thing that you can pretty consistently merge and not gently caress up one mod or the other, as long as you don't mind having all of your changes to game lists be cumulative. My preferred method of merging FORM ID lists is wrye bash, but you can use FNVEdit as well. Crafting, on the other hand, is handled by in-game recipes, which shouldn't conflict with one another unless you have more than one mod that modifies an existing recipe.

Gyshall posted:Gravy, thanks. What tags or method do I need to use in Wyre Bash for this? There should be a checkbox near the bottom when creating a bashed patch (I think it's right above or below leveled lists) where you can check FORM IDs. FORM IDs are responsible for some other things as well - perk lists (like which weapons get a damage boost from the cowboy perk) and holdout lists (or which weapons you're allowed to sneak into casinos). You should also merge FORM IDs using wrye bash if you're using multiple mods that affect either of those two things, otherwise you will potentially run into instances (for example) where both the That Gun mod and Community Compilation Bugfix mod modify the Cowboy perk list, and only the mod that loads later is going to see its weapons doing increased damage when you take that perk.

Machismo posted:I think it is safe to say Electro-City is the first thing to turn off when crashing. Has some lovely parts like near Novac and the Strip when you first get there. Electro-City won't cause crashes on its own, load order and mod conflicts are the likely causes if you're having problems. I fully believe that NV Bounties can cause crashes on its own since there are scripts involved, but there are no scripts involved with Electro-City, it only tweaks a few cells.

The easiest way to find conflicts between mods is to use NVEdit, which I believe is linked in the OP. Just uncollapse all the areas under worldspace and see if anything is highlighted red. If it is, two or more of your mods are conflicting in that particular area, which can and probably will cause crashes.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:WME has a silencer for the hunting shotgun, and it is very fun to use. It's good, my only criticism is that you basically get everything for free right off the bat, meaning you can leave goodsprings with a mob of people and start getting tons of caps for their kills. It seems like a common thread in all of the best NV mods that the mod author literally showers you with caps, plus having that many followers right off the bat makes things really easy unless you're using some crazy version of IWS. It is a better version of Companion Share and Recruit though, in my opinion, so if you liked that mod for FO3 you'll love this one.

Gyshall posted:A new question - has anyone come across a mod that lets you make a custom jukebox/radio? I want to make a radio that I can place in my Underground Hideout and have it play my own custom MP3s for the entire cell, kind of like Sheppard's cabin in ME2. http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34999 You can design your own radio station with MP3s using that link. Once you have your radio station configured, just open UH in FNVEdit, locate the activator for the radio (it is the first activator in the list, shouldn't be hard to locate), and set the RNAM radio station variable to use the station you've created in RACE. You'll probably need to add the RACE station mod to UH as a master before it will let you do this, but that's not difficult and there's literature on how to do it in FNVEdit's manual. How does WMX compare to WME by the way? I'm seriously torn on whether it's worth making the switch, but it's a little more tempting now that there's an inventory sorter patch out for it.

I'm a huge fan of anything by pucemoose, but I will warn you that they're adventure game-y and not action oriented. If you don't like solving puzzles using clues then you'll probably uninstall them out of frustration, but they do all (mostly) have online walkthroughs. The only one I really dislike by him is his first effort, a note easily missed, which has substandard level design. Evening with Mister Manchester and In the Shadow of the Swamp are my favorites by the author. A Quest for Heaven is also a pretty quality effort, and the third chapter was just released not too long ago. I haven't played all three but the first two were polished.

Any ideas how I could add the radio station as an option? It's theoretically possible to make a craftable radio mod, I imagine there's scripting involved though since you'll have to have a droppable dummy item which is then converted to a static item upon use. Scripting still confuses the poo poo out of me unfortunately. A better bet might be removing the script from the item entirely in the GECK so that it just functions as a normal radio.

I guess I should start small before trying to make anything too sweet. From what you're saying, the problem is due to the fact that the UH radio has a script attached that lets you choose between stations. Normal radios in NV don't behave like this, just have an on/off state, so converting the UH radio to a normal radio and changing the radio station in FNVEdit should be enough to make it work.

The UH script is most likely serving the purpose of tweaking normal game radio mechanics, not replacing them, so all you should have to do is remove the UH script and the radio will function as a normal activator, except with the station you specify in NVEdit. All the UH script is doing is changing the RADIO variable on the fly depending on user input, which is making the game mirror the set of actions you took to change the variable in NVEdit. I just didn't realize when I told you to do it that there was an extra script that would keep resetting your work. If you remove the script, you remove the problem.
