I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but Boris Vorontsov is looking into porting the 0.2 ENB Series to New Vegas. He's got ENBoost 0.203 (just the booster, no graphical effects enabled) up in the patches section. I don't run enough texture stuff right now to see a difference in performance (shoot, I don't run enough stuff right now to even make use of the 4GB loader), but if anyone else wants to test it out and see if it helps, he's still looking for feedback last I saw.

Has anyone here given CaliberX a shot? Wanted to give it a shot since i'm looking to expand the weapons selections a bit as well. I noticed it adds the 2mmEC that Project Nevada also adds, is there any compatibility issue between the two? Also how does the ammo mod interact with other weapon mods, like some from Arenovalis/Millenia? Also i there an ETA or something on a pack with all weapons made by Arenovalis? :<

I've tried messing about with CaliberX, never accomplished much with it. I found that the ammo types didn't mesh hugely well with other mods, and it only ended up cluttering the vendor and loot lists with ammo I never ended up using. As far as the 2mm EC, it either would overwrite PN's if later in the load list, or you'd just have 2 types of ammo with the same name and possibly different stats.

I'm curious to see what you felt was underpowered though. In every review i've seen of his weapons they looked a bit underwhelming compared to what i was using on my main char at the time (i've only tried out like 1-2 of his weapons and that was a while back), i could be mistaken since most of my used weapons were affected by perks (cowboy/grunt) and were unique so had a big edge either way, which reminds me - are any of his weapons affected by perks? Also can anyone using CCO confirm/deny whether the DT affecting perks are working as intended (Observer effect - ignores 3 DT per rank, 3 ranks, energy weapons; Soft Tissue Expert - ignores 2 DT per rank, 3 ranks, guns). I've done a bit of testing and thought it didn't work at first but now i'm confused since Living Anatomy shows enemy DT as already decreased by the ammount stated by the perks but i still don't get the intended results. My main test subject is Aureliux of Phoenix - Legion guy wearing heavy armor, 23 DT. I am using CCO's damage resistance module as well and since his armor is heavy, his dr is 23-15 = 8% which should apply before DT. My weapon (AER14 unique laser rifle) does 66 damage per shot with max charged ammo. So i first apply the dr of 8% and do, after dr, 62*92%=60.7 damage per shot. The max charged ammo decreases enemy's dt by 10 and the 3 ranks of the Observer Effect perk, as mentioned, should decrease it by an extra 9 for a total 19. So, at the end of the DT debuffs i should have to go through only 4 of Aurelius' DT, doing 60.7-4=56.7 damage per shot. Aurelius has 153 HP and after 1 shot to the chest, non-crit, he's left with 103 HP instead of 96.3 as it should be according to my calculations, every time. Where does he get the 6.7 extra HP from? Am i missing something here in my math? (note that fallout wiki says he has 170 hp but CCO's mod also changes hp calculations hence the difference in my game).

Certain Legion guys have an invisible perk equivalent to 10% DR. Could that be it? 66 x 0.82 - 4 comes out to 50.12, which is bang on the money for your results.

Well, I didn't want to do this but, I'm completely confused as to what is crashing my game. I tried to strip it down to a bare minimum to test what could do it, so I have this:quote:FalloutNV.esm Originally it was crashing every time I transitioned a cell at all; At least now that I've stripped it bare it seems to only crash every other cell transition. Could it be a problem with the saloon at Goodsprings? That's where I test my cell transition. Is it Better New Vegas? I've got the NMC(?) and one of the female texture replacers that aren't plugin files.

The rest of those plugins shouldn't be causing that sort of instability, and the textures (NMC and female texture replacers) shouldn't be contributing to CTDs like you're describing.

Better New Vegas was super unstable when I tried it. I think there's a way to clean it with FNVedit, though not sure how much it helps. Check the last few pages in the comments on the nexus (sorry, on my phone).

Anyway i guess i'll continue my testing with some BoS paladins since no one is their faction has (to my knowledge) bonus DR.

uaciaut posted:http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Damage_Resistance To eliminate any uncertainty, I'd suggest just using the console command getav damageresist to find your guinea pig's actual stats. What the console returns trumps whatever the wiki or the GECK says. In case you haven't used this before, open the console by pressing the tilde key (~), click on your guinea pig (their name should be displayed at the top of the screen after you've done so), and then type the command bolded above and hit enter. The number returned is that target's Damage Resistance. I do appreciate you stress-testing some of the perks, by the way. I know it can't be the most entertaining thing in the world, but it's very encouraging nonetheless.

I'm a bit of a math freak and a perfectionist (hence why i wanted to make sure the new perks are working properly) so i don't mind it that much. Also i just noticed your user-name, been trying to get a hold of you on the nexus forums (the CCO thread) and on the CCO homepage for a while now to ask you about these perks and a few other things. Anyway back to testing: went with The Medicine Stick (unique brush gun) and the AER14 (unique laser rifle) this time. First off, the gun: 132 damage with SWC ammo, base DT should be 23 (Living Anatomy displayed the DT that Soft Tissue Expert decreased: 17), ammo should decrease the DT by an extra 6. Damage resistance (obtained through your method - thanks for that) is 13%. This is weird in that either the DR mod of CCO sees his armor as being medium and only subtracts 10 instead of 15 (or one of my other mods tricks your mod into thinking his armor is medium instead of heavy) or he has a natural DR of 5 to begin with. 132*87%=114.84 damage before DT. I should still have to go through 11 of his DT (17 - 6 from SWC ammo) so i should be doing 114.84-11 = 103.84 damage. One non-crit hit in the torso and he's left with 57 HP instead of the ~50 he should be left with (again his HP is displayed as 153), so my hit did 96 damage instead of 103.84, 7.84 damage less. Now for the energy weapon: 66 damage with max charged ammo, again based DT 23, Living anatomy displays 14, ammo decreases by 10 more. 66*87% = 57.42 damage before DT, i should have to go through 4 more DT (14-10 from ammo) so i should be doing 53.42 damage. One non-crit hit in torso leaves him at 103 hp instead of ~100, so my hit did 50 damage instead of 53.42 damage, 3.42 damage less. I'm pretty sure the DT perks are working, at least partly, since the difference in numbers i'm getting isn't equal to either 6 with guns or 9 with energy weapons, so it seems more likely to be a dr thing or the game simply rounds numbers in an odd way. Also curious if you know how the game would round up things with HP ammo (or any other ammo that would increase DT). Again, DR would be applied first, but in what order would DT affecting factors be applied afterwards? Living Anatomy always seems to display DT after perks that affect it, so i'm guessing that HP ammo would triple the DT AFTER the -6/-9 effects would come through (effectively tripling the effect of the perk as well which would make HP ammo a lot more attractive in general). And how would Soft Tissue Expert interact with Shotgun Surgeon? Do they stack (-21 DT when using shotguns would be pretty sick actually).

Can anyone give me tips on how to get eyes/hair from mods to play nicely with custom Races? I've only found a few vague 'tutorials' so far about opening them at the same time in the Geck and dragging the hair/eyes into the Race options and despite following them, I still can't get the hair or eyes to show up as useable on the Race and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong at this point.

Are any of the gameplay/convenience overhaul mods currently considered to be totally solid? I have played this game through about a million times with various mods, but that was a fair while ago and I don't really have time right now to trawl through the FO nexus like did many times in the past. The one DLC I never finished is The Lonesome Road and I wanna tear through the game right now and finish it (probably just go straight to Vegas -> Dead Money -> Honest Hearts -> OWB -> The Lonesome Road, then murder Caesar's Legion). Also, I've never played through the game using explosives or heavy weapons, is a playthrough like that very rewarding?

The relevant guns that should be affected by perks are affected by them, yes. As I stated though, every single weapon I've released for Millenia actually has better DPS than the stock weapons of its equivalent class. It might have other weaknesses in comparison though; like it might be heavier, or less durable, or maybe it does less damage but the critical damage is more meaning the DPS at the end is still higher, the spread might be higher, etc. I can't, and won't, make every weapon a god gun nor will I completely outclass the stock weapons so badly that you have no reason to ever even consider using them. If, at the end of the day, you still feel they're too weak then very simple and quick useage of GECK/FNVEdit can easily pump up the stats of any weapon you like.

Oh, yeah, I think the "core" module of PN is one of the only real common mods that would be considered a convenience overhaul, since I think it also has the option of relabeling items to make them easier to organize (if not the "core" module, then one of the other PN modules). I can't really think of any others off the top of my head that do something similar, like hotkey-ing a grenade or something. Cream-of-Plenty fucked around with this message at 07:17 on Aug 26, 2013 |

Nevada really brings the game up to first person shooter standards. I really enjoy just about every change made, like the new perks, original FO3 weapons, adding a sprint, bullet time, the list goes on. It makes the game different enough to be interesting gameplay wise. Add the increased wasteland spawns for a fun time. That's probably my favorite mod short of Nevada, having more things to shoot is fun (except Cazadors, MOTHERFUCK Cazadors).
