Is there a way to edit the NV esm? I'm trying to modify the tri-beam rifle and other rifles that use multiple ammo at once, but I can't seem to find a way to edit it with FNVedit.
Specifically, I want to make it so they just use one and not three.

Open up GECK. Go into Weapons, Find the weapons you're looking for. Modify all their ammo usage to whatever you'd like (1). Save. Save it as a new ESP, called weaponmodifications.esp

Are there any good scope replacer mods ? The original scopes look lovely as gently caress, I'd like a scope more like the one used in the Gobi Rifle Replacer, but I think that the magnification is a bit too high to be used on all weapons.

The brush gun is replaced by a Thompson SMG and the varmint rifle is replaced by some Marlin lever action rifle that has zero iron sights :downsgun: There is also no weapon balance at all and it made me run at least three times as fast for some reason.

Benelli M3 separated from Ahztek's pack, though the settings are probably different between the two mods - I was in the middle of porting this before I found out that he already did and took his updated meshes/textures/iron sights. Location's in Goodspring's Gas Station. Do tell me if I messed up the file folder structure for the mod release or something like that, but it appears to work in my game thus far. As always, feel free to tweak it yourself in GECK if there's something you don't like.

edit: wow, this guy's total amateur hour - hardcoded texture locations that forces you to install your game in the same folder structure he uses? Jesus christ. I should do everyone a favour and port the whole mod over minus the replacer just to spite him.

I'm finally all tricked out and ready for a good modded playthrough, except for the very last step: lighting and weather mods. Honestly, the reason it's so much trouble is that ALL of the big name mods are excellent. I love the days in URWL, the nights in Fellout, the weather effects in Nevada Skies, and Electro-City/Emittance add something I didn't even realize was missing. I haven't even tried using the Interior Lighting Overhaul yet, since I'm having too hard of a time deciding between all of these :smith:

Somewhere near the bottom of your load order you should have these mods and in this order, load order is really important in this case since some of these mods overlap. Highways and Byways is optional of course.

LUMENARIUMandELECTROCITY - Nevada Skies Replacer.esp (see electro-city link below)
URWLNV.esp (http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35570)
Electro-City - Completed Workorders.esp http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37908
Electro-City - Highways and Byways.esp (see above)
Electro-City - Emittance.esp (see above)
URWLNV Darker Night.esp http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35315

Once you get in game you select emittance level MED, which is actually very important to getting the desired look. And don't forget to disable the nevada skies lighting in your thermo-hygrograph (under the weather settings, disable all 5 options), if you don't you're going to see Nevada Skies lighting instead of URWL.

I am pretty much close to 100% happy with this setup, but I'm still trying to work on figuring out how Nevada Skies and URWL differ so that I can get the Nevada Skies "Dusk" and "Dawn" lighting, which is vastly superior to URWL. I've already started making a compatibility patch for Nevada Skies that unlocks only its dusk and dawn climates which I should be able to post within a couple of days.

Well, the good news is that I'm half way done correcting his moronic texture location issues... for. every. single. model. Seriously, shoot me now. The only thing that literally terrifies me is opening up his ESP in GECK only to find out that he actually literally replaced the in-game weapons by simply swapping out their art files or something crazy like that. Because there's a LOT of models here and the thought of adding each and every one of them by hand makes me want to squeeze something fluffy to death.

This mod just gave me an idea (well the mod it uses for the esm).

ED-E skin: Servitor Skull. :hellyeah:

Wouldn't be too hard to do to replace ED-E's model with the servitor skull from http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5885 would it?

I'm not sure how easy it would be to just make the lasers come out of nowhere or possibly link it to an eye-socket and hopefully orient it a little more upright, but it would make ED-E even more awesome.


Theres a quick shot of it so you don't have to hunt through the pictures.

This is a pretty fantastic setup, but you might have to append Existence 2.0 as being mandatory for nightcrawling :) I was wandering around the desert at night to get a feel for the lighting, and a brahmin wandered out from behind a trailer and made me jump out of my chair. Awesome.

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.

I know how the texture thing feels. I didn't have to change as many but the .nif files were over 10 MB each. NifSkope slowing to a crawl while New Vegas happily displayed them item sucked balls.

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.

Scroll about halfway up the page and check out SheepNameKiller's guide. Even then, you can still tweak THAT further, depending on all the settings you want. Everything is very customizable. Also, Electro-City's readme files have tons of info to getting what you want working. I think the only important thing is not to use the original Nevada Skies esp, and to use the LUMENARIUMandELECTROCITY - Nevada Skies Replacer.esp in its place.

edit: OK I guess the other important thing is the load order but that's in SheepNameKiller's post

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'm a little late on this, but an Ahztek repackage that didn't work as a replacer would be fantastic. Inexplicable replacement choices aside, there are some nice looking guns in it (I really like the energy weapons in particular, though most were ridiculously overpowered compared to what they were replacing), but the author's stubborn refusal to make a non-replacer version kills it for me.
