I just installed both the new DLC packs, Honest Hearts and Dead Money, and my Bullet Time mod doesn't seem to be working anymore. Does it not work in the DLC?

It'd help if you told us what bullet time mod you were using, and what your load order looks like.

It's no secret, we keep it in the topic of the IRC channel.

Current Build

List o' poo poo Added/Working/Not Working/etc.

Make sure you have The Armory v2.0 installed, then extract the WIP over it overwriting everything.

Keep in mind, the leveled lists, realism settings, vanilla balancing, etc has NOT been done in any of the WIP builds. Nor has any real testing been done because pretty much nobody wants to help in that area.

FYI, the esms/esp list the Caravan Pack as a master, some people are likely not to have that (I don't). Would it be safe to remove that dependency with NVEdit?

BulletTime mod is DK Bullet Time.

I would start by running that load order through BOSS and seeing what it wants to do with it. At a cursory glance, I can tell that a lot of conflicts are being generated because your files aren't loading in the correct order. For example, FalloutNV.esm should be the first (top of the list) thing that loads so that every subsequent mod can make changes to it rather than vice versa.

UberChair: Jan 8, 2008; This club is borin' the crap outta me!

Alright thanks. I completely forgot to check FOMM before playing so that probably explains why FalloutNV.esm wasn't first.

e: Hm. That didn't fix it. Perhaps the mod is simply out of date.

Arcturas: Mar 30, 2011

Anyone have recommendations for a starting mod set? I picked up NV and the DLC during the past steam sale, and I haven't played through them yet. I'm not looking for anything that completely changes the game, but cleaning it up, rebalancing things, etc wouldn't be bad.

Mods that improve the game's appearance wouldn't be unwelcome, but I don't have a particularly great computer (2010 Macbook Pro, Win 7) so it'd have to be something that doesn't bump up the system reqs.

My current plan is:
FOMM
NVSE

Darnified UI

More Perks / ST Perks (which one? both?)
Tag Skills Improved
WMX / WMK (any recommendations on which one?)
A Better That Gun (Probably go WMK since they're compatible, if you recommend this)
Weapon Animation Replacers
Tag Skills Improved

Anything I'm missing? Are the lists in the OP still good?

Beeb: Jun 29, 2003; Good hunter, free us from this waking nightmare

So here's a thing I cobbled together:

The shells don't have a texture it seems. And I'm using Nifskope so I'm not sure how to assign a texture/swap out for shells that are textured.

Get it in game and:

The shells hover outside the barrels.

Fire, reload:

The barrels have recessed into the receiver. What the gently caress? If someone wants a go at making this thing I can provide the textures and meshes. I really really like it despite it looking way too clean and pretty.

E:

drat. Happens with an unedited mesh too.

E 2:

Looks like it was barrel related. I used the barrels from the sawed off in Armory, and the stock from... wherever the hell this gun came from. Now it works like a charm. Needs some fine tune fitting but works

I suggest to you Cream-of-Plenty's excellent More Perks Revised - Redux, which takes out every absurd/useless/unbalanced perk from More Perks, leaving only the best ones. And yes, OP's list is still good.

Also, I recommend to everyone in this thread his edited Project Wasteland Vision. No bloated weather system, no blur/exaggerated effects and no pitch black night. It's much prettier in game, but here's a screenshot with the Friend of the Night perk on:

Yeah, it was probably an accident. I'll fix it in my next WIP build.

edit: yes, you can delete it if that wasn't clear

And to the person asking if there's been any updates since 2.0; no official ones, no. Just WIP builds that are incomplete, broken, and have no updates to the support esps other than the cabinet esp for testing purposes.

Those of you who wanted to use the WIP build of The Armory linked earlier without the Dead Money/Honest Hearts/Caravan Pack master dependencies put on by accident, here's an updated esm for you.

IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED that you should not run The.Armory AND The.Armory.v2.1 masters at the same time. I label one v2.1 for Anime Schoolgirl's use. They're exactly the same, so naturally you may get issues trying to load them both at the same time...

Technically this isn't a mod, but can I get a request of a weird armor "mesh-up" from two different DLC. The "Salt Upon Wounds" helmet with the Tribal Power Armor from The Pitt (the Requiem for Capital Wasteland makes this possible).

Yeah I don't think there's any player home that isn't either lol god item mania or has a handful of dumb poo poo.

All I really want is a bunker with a weapon wall, some ammo shelves, fridge, work/reloading bench, bed, and somewhere to put little trophies. Maybe with a hidden entrance like a dumpster or junked out car.

Oh, and a safe for all my pre-war cash and cigarettes.

It doesn't have a weapon wall, but you might want to check out the Courier's Hideout. It's a very basic bunker type house with only the bare essentials (worktables, bed, shelves, place to cook, clean water, etc.) and a neat little mini-quest that has you following a trail of notes left behind by an old friend. It's quickly becoming my favorite house mod. I just love how restrained it is compared to all the insane multi-level bunker palace house mods on Nexus. Also: hidden entrance. The barrels aren't like that by default, you actually have to move one out of the way with the z key and then crouch down to access the hatch. It's pretty cool.

Naky posted:

Quality is subjective I suppose. Are there shiny new guns in the pack? Yeah but there are also grunged up ones too. Our goal is not necessarily to meet immersion standards since that's up to each person. Some people like nice new tactilol guns others prefer Frankenstein guns that the AG pack does. My suggestion is to give it a shot and use the cabinet ESP so you can get a feel for the pack. If you don't like it the just disable it.

That sounds fair. I suppose I should have looked into it more to see exactly how much it interacted with the gameworld before worrying :downs:

Smol: Jun 1, 2011; Stat rosa pristina nomine, nomina nuda tenemus.

For anyone that uses Project Nevada, and especially its rebalance component, how well does it work on high levels? I just noticed that by default, your hit points don't increase when leveling (and they seem to be lower to start with), so I was wondering what happens when enemies start carrying brush guns, anti-materiel rifles and such. Do you just horribly die unless you can hit them first?

It won't load any data because you're probably not using the right version...either you accidentally downloaded an FO3 version or you're using an outdated NV version (which is easy to do if you downloaded it from the official site). You need to get GECK 1.4 for NV, but you're better off Googling for download links. Bethesda's own site is messed up and misleading because it was written by a nine year old. Good luck!
