And it hasn't been updated since it came out. Cool. Have fun with 3x run speed and downright retarded replacement choices if you go with that mod. Speaking of weapon mods, what should I look for in terms of a mod that makes energy weapons worthwhile? I want to do a Legion run with the skull face from tailor made and a gatling laser

LawrenceOfHerLabia posted:And I've got great stability with that load order. However the amount blood splattered on the screen during combat is ridiculous. After being shot twice, I cannot see anything at all. I know that the console command 'CSB' will clear it off, but during a firefight it just comes right back. Is there anything I can do to disable or severely curtail the amount of blood splattered on the screen? Glad you find the OP useful. The blood-spattering effect is most certainly coming from XFO...I'm not sure which plugin, though. I just know that when I started using it, getting wounded would often cause copious amounts of blood to cover the screen and make fighting--especially at night--difficult. Maybe the gore effects plugin? I've gotten a few requests to put a bullet-time mod in the OP, so I'll update it.

Coincidentally, I am a big Deus Ex fan too...but for whatever reason this is one peanut butter I don't want with my chocolate. I'll have to plug this other music mod from Fallout 3 which I think fits in real well with the rest of the soundtrack - Earthquake. Lots of western-esque guitar twang and poo poo. Just don't use the battle music, its some kind of industrial poo poo that isn't nearly as good as the explore/public musics. Yeah, it's a Fallout 3 mod, but it works just fine for New Vegas.

Capn Beeb posted:And it hasn't been updated since it came out. Cool. Well, there was an Energy Weapons DeNerf mod that popped up some time ago, that might help close the gap a little bit. Frankly, though, what I'd love to see would be some shotgun-like energy weapons - a plasma shotgun and an electric shotgun, as it were. The plasma shotgun would probably be something like a plasma rifle, except the orb is split into multiple smaller orbs when fired...as for the electric shotgun, well, who wouldn't want to go shooting huge short-range blasts of lighting? And maybe include a mod for the lighting shotgun that acts like a recharger lightning rod - as you fire the gun, some of the electricity hits the lightning rod cowling and recharges the gun slightly, in practical game terms working a bit like the Laser RCW Recycler weapon mod. I should dig up some tutorials on making Fallout: New Vegas guns, although Arenovalis' gun texturing tutorial ought to be a HUGE help in that department. What I'd need to know would be things like poly limits, what needs to be done for assembling, etc. Might want to first export an existing shotgun from the game and deconstruct it, as it were, figure out what was done and what not.

After playing around with the Sunny Smiles companion some more, I'm pretty impressed with how convincing the author made her. He did a really good job splicing dialogue into unobtrusive new lines, and it's only when I realize that she doesn't have any contextual dialogue that I remember she's a modded companion. On that thought...we need a No-Bark Noonan companion. Think about it: He has a decent amount of dialogue to work with. He's paranoid and imaginative, so convincing him to leave Novac could be easy enough to rationalize--especially if you help get rid of the "Commie Ghosts" at the Repconn facility or the Machinegun Chupacabra. And since he's insane, he could very well be a decent Pro-legion party member. I imagine him starting with rags and Sticky (his ornery stickin' knife), and all of his dialogue could be a jumble of insane phrases that don't need to make sense to work. Plus he could say, "If anyone asks: We never spoke" every time you end dialogue with him. Cream-of-Plenty fucked around with this message at 21:09 on Jan 12, 2011 |

Actually, the latest patch buffed energy weapons pretty significantly thanks to JE Sawyer and co at Obsidian. I think the last time Energy Weapons Denerfed was updated was before the most recent patch, so take that as you will. So a few more awesome little known mods and tweaks I have found in the shitpile that is the Nexus: - Human Body and Face - New normals - this makes the default bodies and skins look updated/detailed without making nude poo poo or adding any high res textures at all. - Reinforce Armor - this mod is one of those small ones that I really wish wouldn't get buried beneath all of the poo poo on the Nexus. You basically get to take armors and reinforce them with Scrap Metal and so on to create reinforced versions of said armor. For instance, Scrap metal + wonderglue + Metal armor = Metal Armor, Reinforced.

Chronojam posted:Failing up, I see! If simply leaving task manager open and ready to go is too passé, or you feel the suggestion is too demeaning for your professional sensibilities, here's a non-spoiler walkthrough with hints. Well I guess I'll try to ask one more time. Ctrl-shift-escape works just fine too, and I do leave it open. If it's a black screen crash on full screen it wont show the task switch or show anything but the full screen. Windows-D, alt-tab, ctrl-shift-esc, Windows key do nothing however sometimes if I pre-order processes by memory usage and I can at least see the default cursor where taskmgr is on the window I can blindly press up and alt-e, space and pray it's FalloutNV.exe. If I put the laptop into standby and come back, it will bring up the taskbar and then allow me to alt-tab to task manager. But if it's a loading screen crash then there is no solution whatsoever, standby/come back trick doesn't work and it stays fullscreen with no ability to shift out. If you would like to help that would be great. If you would like to spit out $8/hr tech support lines that's fine too, I am definitely enjoying your wacky riffs.

One mini-looting spree later will put the unique Gauss Rifle, the YCS/186, in your possession. You can also buy a standard Gauss Rifle occasionally at the Silver Rush, or in the BoS bunker. Lastly, there’s a shack in the mountains to the immediate west of New Vegas, north of the Fiend-controlled area, that has a very low condition Gauss Rifle inside.

Lucky 38 Suite Respawn Fix.esp Centered 3rd Person Camera - Unraised.esp BetterLuckySuite.esp CompanionInfAmmoOptional.esp Light Step ED-E.esp Max Followers 12.esp PipBoyLightx2.esp It has helped a lot but something is still causing AI to hang. I can tell I'm hosed as soon as I walk past someone and no sound, or start talking to them and the subtitles come up with no audio. At that point I can guarantee that no matter what I do I am screwed, even trying to open console blows it up. This is all I have left, though: AWorldOfPain(Preview) - thought maybe this was it, made no difference (absolutely awesome mod btw) CompanionInfAmmo.esm - all it does is extend Magical Companion Ammo for all weapons. New Vegas Redesigned/Lore.esp - tried killing this too but no difference. IIWR 2.1.0 - Invisible Wall Remover PerkEveryLevel.esp Better Tag Skills.esp CompanionDe-Equip.esp - marks companion armor/weapons as playable so you can take them out, that's it. UnlimitedCompanions.esp Fellout.esp The only one that MIGHT cause this imo is UnlimitedCompanions but I don't know how, it's bizarre. I thought maybe it was just residual savegame crap on the other but I had it just happen in a new game too. Audio cue that AI is still churning (at least that's my guess), if you try to pip/menu/console/quicksave, it will hard crash right then, if you try to leave the area it will crash on autosave attempt. New game also has no companions so I am stumped.

demerzel posted:Looking at those mods, I'm inclined to think the problem is being caused by hardware and not the game. It seems like faulty RAM or insufficient power (or insufficient power settings--anything less than Full Power) are a potential culprit. By cutting down the number of mods and pushing back the frequency of these hang-ups, you might actually just be slowing down the rate at which the game hits its RAM overhead and goes tits-up...or something with the Hard Drive. I'm curious if you would eventually experience the same problems with a completely unmodded game. On the software side of things, maybe something has corrupted in your install. Have you used Steam to verify the integrity of your game? Or wiping the game and performing a fresh install? That level of instability isn't really symptomatic of any mods I know of, and if it was, you'd better believe the modding community would know about it (sort of like "Pluggy" from Oblivion.)

If I hadn't I would be thinking the same thing, honestly. Not that I am thinking you are responsible at all for helping me but if you can look at any of them esp Infinite Companions and see if there's anything that modifies AI that would be awesome. I cracked open the GECK but have no idea what I'm looking at/for and the time to learn if I could even see anything would be substantial. Or if you know a utility besides BOSS/FNVEdit that might detect conflicts that would be good too! Demerzel fucked around with this message at 00:49 on Jan 13, 2011 |

Demerzel posted:Well I guess I'll try to ask one more time. Did you at least try what I said at least in the order I said it? It's not that terrifying. That's how I recover from black screen crashes that refuse to grant focus to anything else and ignore most other input. The engine crashes, and if you are full screen, this kind of poo poo just sorta happens. The game is fun enough and the process simple enough that I've just written it off as part of the experience. Once you have Task Manager, in order: Shift-Tab Left Left Left Right Tab Fallout Alt-E Spacebar The l/l/l/r is only because I've seen Task Manager arbitrarily open to different pages on different machine configurations. It's optional but better than getting lost. By the way, I liked your tip about spoilers, and you seem to have taken it to heart; but how did you get it to automatically show up for every post you make like that?

Barrel appears to be ripped from STALKER, I think the handle and stock are from one of the Gauss weapons in the Classic Fallout Weapons pack.  AND ANOTHER: Gauss Sniper. Basically a Gauss barrel sandwiched between the two ends of a sniper rifle. A little rough and modder's resource only at the moment, though.

I went back to playing Fallout 3 recently and I was actually kind of awestruck by how much better the ambience was at night, something about Fellout, winter weather and wasteland lighting created a uniquely desolate world that I actually kind of missed when I went back to New Vegas. Click here for the full 1536x960 image.  Click here for the full 1536x960 image. However, I knew that the exact same effect didn't work as well in New Vegas. Fellout alone didn't really make days feel like you were in the desert, and nights in Vegas were drowned out by its light filters. Emittance got Fellout one step closer by making the nights very similar to what I wanted, but the tradeoff was that the days were still too dreary. It took endless amounts of tweaking but I finally got the night effect I wanted, URWL + an independent darker nights mod with nevada skies weather and emittance all toggled at the same time. I had to move the load order a bit from what the mod authors typically recommend but I managed to get everything to look fantastic without the need for any additional compatibility patches. The days from URWL are untouched, so I still have the daytime effect I prefer as well.  Click here for the full 1680x1050 image.  Click here for the full 1680x1050 image.

I swear I saw this in the megathread but I can't find it again, how do you force non-hostile either individually or universally in console? I'm friendly to Great Khans and they even offer to share a whiskey with me annoyingly often, but for some reason when Jessup showed up in Red Rock he and his crew were hostile. I'm guessing it's because I killed the NCR hostages since I remember doing that while they were there and they opened fire on me for some reason. However apparently they still remember it or it's a script, I've tried resurrect, setally, stopcombat and nothing is working, I thought it was like setaggression 0 but that doesn't work either. I'm actually Liked by Khans and already allied but when they go nuts on me the whole canyon cascades. Demerzel fucked around with this message at 05:17 on Jan 13, 2011 |

That lighting does look nice, Fellout is great when there's no source of lighting around, and when it's sparse. Where it sucks is large open areas where a light is 50 feet away and 10 feet away and it's pitch black where you're standing and you can't see the light 50 feet away and only barely 10 feet away.
