Toasta posted:This game really is almost too much fun. I'm on track to dump more loving hours into this game than any other Bethesda game.... New Vegas is exactly what I've always wanted - an easily moddable CRPG from Obsidian. e: I can't remember if I mentioned this before, but I've switched from using the Lootable Old Cars mod to this one - Salvage Perk. It adds a perk that you can take on level up with sufficient Survival/Repair to loot stuff like cars, radios, old computers, etc. It's a much better implementation of the same thing Lootable Old Cars does. Along the same lines, I've added Arts and Crafts, which adds more crafting recipes at camp fires for the sole purpose of reselling. I'm using it in conjunction with Bartertown, which makes a barter/speechcraft guy much more rewarding. I've tagged survival/speech/barter and Boone and I run around selling all the stuff we make from the stuff we kill  I'm also using Color Me Evil for a rebalance of the Karma system. This mod is like Killing Karma Rewards Fixed or whatever where it removed the drastic Karma gains/losses for just killing people, depending on their own Karma level. This goes a bit further - for instance, killing all of Goodsprings now makes you more evil (as it should) than vanilla. Likewise, just killing a bunch of fiends won't make you a Wasteland Saint. I've found that you pretty much need a Karma overhaul when using mods like Increased Wasteland Spawns, and this one fits the bill pretty well. I've recently added Universal Perk Requirements to my new game playthrough - what it does it makes perks like Rapid Reload affect both Guns and Energy Weapons, and perks like Unstoppable Force affect melee and unarmed weapons. At higher difficulty levels/with damage overhauls, I find it balances out pretty well and goes a bit to make other weapons as viable as guns. I should also mention the Handi-cappable trait, which raises all your SPECIAL stats in exchange for a bum leg, ala Arcanum. With XFO's crippled leg overhaul (you walk slow as gently caress with one/two crippled legs) it makes for a pretty interesting character to role play.

True, but I think Lootable Old Cars makes it almost too easy to get scrap metal/scrap electronics - especially with a repair mod that lets you repair items with scrap metal.

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.

Mister Bung posted:Is anyone else having issues with dissapearing companions? This issue was prevalent for me even in the vanilla game, before I modded it at all. For example Raul just decided one day to stand at the entrance to the hanger at Nellis AFB and no matter what I did he would not move. I ended up having to console kill him, resurrect him, and teleport him to me or some such nonsense. Since modding I've completely given up on the vanilla companions, except just to recruit them long enough to complete their personal quests, then it's "adios." Which sucks because I am such a huge Danny Trejo fan. I have been using RR Companions Vault just to have a follower I can actually use and not get frustrated with. This mod seems to improve the AI, and companions don't go all gung-ho on Passive and seem like they disappear less. I've combined tha tmod with the Jade Companion Mod which is also working pretty well. It's nice because this mod includes a pair of sunglasses that automatically teleports the companion to you whenever you put them on.

Damnit I am still hooked on this game thought for sure I'd be over it by now, I'm gonna have to make a mod for it. My two ideas: Make a raider camp and set up a whole raider faction, Powder Gangers have to recommend you there, Khans set you up with missions then Jackals/Fiends. Use the area that is just dead space west of Goodsprings (in the mountains). If you have IIWR it's over the mountains west of the geckos and north of the Canyon junk. Now I have a cyborg idea, it wouldn't be as huge as the raider one, but basically have some cyborg wasteland alternative to the brotherhood surgery, PER gives you a cyborg eye, INT gives you a metal skullcap etc. How are the models set up? As one model for the player or is it feasible to swap out body parts etc? #1 is a huge time-consumer but probably little modeling, #2 is probably less time but I haven't ever dicked with modeling, I'm a developer though so I can probably handle at least changing existing models. Someone tell me which one of these is more interesting and how #2 is even possible, make a eyeglasses model that gives cyborg eye, hat that gives whatever? Can you be wearing 2 different armors at the same time? Has anyone looked into the guts of that one that did the armor pieces? EDIT: Also where does Dead Money take place? Just had the thought that it might actually use all that dead canyon space?

I'm not a huge fan of bullet time in games, but there are NV mods to convert action points into bullet time duration. A few come with perk adjustments that allow you to apply your VATS bonuses either while free aiming, or while in bullet time. For example, the headshot bonus might get converted into a critical hit bonus or something. I generally only use VATS while trying to figure out what to do tactically, aim grenades, or go for stealth attack lineups... so being able to put those AP into dodging rockets is nice! It's great for when you zone into an area with like ten guys ready to attack you, and you can gain a little edge instead of being entirely surprised.

Anything like "What's Your Brand" or "Better Booze" out for FNV yet? It seems like either of those mods would be really simple to convert to FNV (with the exception of WYB hand-replacing every cigarette pack/carton in the game with an appropriate brand) so I'm kind of surprised that they haven't, to my knowledge, been done yet.

A Lamer posted:I think it's a vanilla issue. You can get your companions back by entering interior locations and then leaving back into the cell you lost them on. It seems to be an issue with transitioning between two outdoor cells like crimson caravan, the strip, the airport etc. These don't send you to an entirely new location, but rather put you on the other side of the gate and load in the new cell. I get the impression your companions aren't warping past the gate with you due to follow distance or something. Unfortunately, I think you're right. I was hoping to be able to track it back to a specific mod but that doesn't seem to be the case. I never seemed to have the issue prior to the December patch, because I recall using companions as pack mules to carry poo poo I was planning to sell back to the Crimson Caravan trader. Now I need to go into one of the Crimson Caravan shacks and exit so that my companion are following me...oh well. Mister Bung posted:Yeah I found that if I quicksaved at the spot they were showing on the map, the reloaded it they'd come back. Like A Lamer was saying, I'm probably wrong and this is a vanilla issue. I believe there's a new community patch. The latest version of the community patch linked in the OP is version 1.04, and goes by the name "Community Bugfix Compilation Patch.esp"

I guess a mod or something hosed it but I can't wear the space suit in my game. Using the console to equip says it is equipped but I'm still naked. I reckon it has/had to do with the WETS space suit thing that made it give water-breathing but even deactivated it won't equip the suit. Tried dropping it, passing it between companions, adding a new one after dropping the other... No dice. Even with all things unequipped... Everything else is just fine. Anyone dealt with that before?

Dickeye posted:Did the guy who was working on the not-poo poo version of Ahztek ever upload it? No, but only because I've made it so much more than just Ahztek's stuff. Currently about ~70 guns are in the pack and it's a combination of weapons that are freely available for NV on Nexus and a bunch that were available but not all that popular in FO3 and I've made most of them moddable using the in-game modding system - even commonly popular weapon mods that don't have them right now. I also added roughly 45 melee weapons which should make you melee people pretty pleased. On top of that I've been rebalancing some of them too and I'm going to have to add iron sights to a bunch of them that lack them. All in all, it's a lot of work and I will likely need a handful of people to help me test and give feedback. That being said, progress has been slow the past couple days because I've taken a break to work on a custom set of armor for my character which I may also release later too. We'll see though. I'm hoping to make a lot of progress this weekend though because I'm finally done modifying meshes and textures so now it's just a matter of implementing each of them in GECK.

For the most part I avoided stuff you could get with the 19th and 20th injection mod on Nexus for a few reasons - first that I don't like a whole lot of the textures on those guns and second because it's already pretty big. But combining the two of them will give you a sickening amount of weapons to play with and I do believe I've crossed over with a few. Meh. I'm not all that smooth with GECK though so for anyone looking for this massive armory to be displayed in the game may have to wait for a very long time unless someone handy with the editor would like to volunteer in that regard. I'd certainly love to have all of them hanging on a wall but if I do it, it will suck :P

I've been using all those for a couple days, on Very Hard  poo poo is hard. I'm only in Primm (skipped over the WoP areas on the way, because gently caress that), and I've come close to death more than once. Against a varmint rifle, better run for cover because you're dead in 2 hits, and the reduced carry weight in MAD doesn't help. I don't think unarmed or melee would be possible at all this way - thankfully, grenades/dynamite are MUCH more effective, and can actually take out crowds if placed right, as long as you're not spotted and killed during the throw.
