It isn't a mod problem, that has always been a problem with the "black people skin color" hues, mainly in the character creation. I am pretty sure it was a problem with Fallout 3 too. There are only a few colors that look actually black. edit: Now that I look at it a little deeper, it might be a mod problem making it worse. No idea what it could be though.

You're right, it probably is a texture or facegen or something problem but here's an example of the kind of thing I was talking about :  It took me like three playthroughs before I realized Old Ben was supposed to be black, because of the random whiteness that encompasses his face when you talk to him. This happens to a lot of black NPCs you can talk to and I have no idea why. He's just, like, caramel colored. or mocha. Or some other metrosexual-sounding term for skin color. It's even worse when they're darker. Maybe it's the color filter New Vegas puts over the screen? I don't think he looks any better with Fellout.

Just tell yourself that this is the result of centuries of different races loving each other. It's actually an issue with the FaceGen system itself - Dark Souls and Demon's Souls use the same system (which is licensed from a third party by both From and Bethesda) and have the exact same issues with wonky skin tones around the eyes and mouth. It has to do with how it handles things like facial hair (which is why the beard area is always the worst offender) and makeup (eyeshadow/blush) by just darkening or lightening those areas regardless of the actual skin tone of the person, so to get a match you can't actually just set the sliders to the middle, you have to try to guess which slider setting will give you a tone that actually matches the skin tone of your character. Assuming such a setting actually exists. This is made even more difficult by the fact that the lighting in the character generation window doesn't match the lighting of the game world, so colours never look the same same after you finish. It bugs the crap out of me too because even with generally light skin tones, you STILL get that same discolouration around the mouth that makes it look like they've got some kind of reverse goatee. Long story short: No, there aren't really any mods that will remedy this problem entirely, though some mods give you different facial textures which make it much less noticeable (This one is not bad, but female only) - but of course using those makes the neck seam a lot more apparent since it won't match the body texture. Also I always thought Old Ben was supposed to be Hispanic from his skin tone. I never would have guessed that he's black without having it pointed out to me.

Yeah I noticed "Uses FaceGen®" in the Souls games credits and went "I KNEW it", because customizing the faces has all the same quirks as in the Fallout games, where the sliders all shift when you change one of them and the skin tone gets all wonky around the mouth. Another funny thing about FaceGen; if you play around with the race editor in GECK (specifically setting the default face), you get some hilariously racist caricatures by setting a single genotype all the way to the max value.

4GB is your limit then! Specifically, you'll want 2GB of DDR2 5300 memory. The board supports 4GB but I dunno how many slots it has. It will be either 2 or 4 slots. If its 2, get one extra 2gb stick, if 4, 2x1gb. I'm guessing it will be four slots supporting 1gb each, but you should open it up and check. hairrorist fucked around with this message at 03:19 on Nov 10, 2011 |

With the aid of Ansith (who is trying to figure the GECK out and apparently has some idea what he's doing) and a friend who is a much better artist than I am, at some point in the not-too-distant future there will be a new rifle in New Vegas! In fact, it is a rifle that screamed "PUT ME IN FALLOUT" to me from the moment I first laid eyes on it! I'm going to try and avoid it being overpowered, but I want it to be useful. I also want to keep it fairly true to the actual rifle, so it will have a pleasantly controllable rate of fire of around 550RPM (the values I saw listed ranged from 450 to 600) doing 20 DAM per shot for a base DPS of 182, which is kind of on the high side but still much lower than a lot of mod weapons I've seen (and kind of appropriate given the relative potency of .280 British). Hoping to get the actual .280 ammo in and have it be comparatively rare to balance out the gun's generally excellent performance, but I'm not sure what that involves and it may be beyond Ansith and I (in this case, I'll probably make it use .308 I guess). Will be somewhere between This Machine and the Service Rifle for accuracy (the EM-2 was effective to 800yd but obviously that's a bit silly in this game), weigh around 8lbs, wear out comparatively slowly (900HP? I'm just basing all this relative to the Service Rifle's stats on the wiki) to reflect the reliable and rugged design and will have a functional integrated optic. No plans for any other mods (maybe a bayonet just for cosmetics, dunno). Guns 20, 2 STR to use and 5 AP per shot in VATS (firing single shots there and full auto in normal FPS mode if possible, because I hate having to waste shots in VATS burst fire). Perks affect it the same way they'd affect the other military rifles I guess. Please yell at me if any of this sounds dumb, overpowered or not doable, I have literally no idea how poo poo works here. I'm no stranger to modding but I haven't touched the GECK before and I'm just making these stats up as I go and it's 2:30AM here and oh god why am I still awake.

Perks affect it the same way they'd affect the other military rifles I guess. Guns 20, 2 STR, and 5 AP per shot is really low across the board. What you described sounds closer to a Guns 45 or 50 weapon (if you set this too high, I recall that some NPCs--like NCR Troopers--will be unable to use it because of insufficient skill.) The larger round should put it somewhere closer to a ~4 STR weapon (1 point above a 5mm Assault Carbine but 2 points below the .45 SMG and This Machine.) This also takes into consideration the fact that it can be fired fully-automatic. 2 STR weapons are really intended for small caliber pistols and semi-automatic junk rifles like the Service Rifle. One of the bigger problems is the 5 AP per shot. 5 AP per shot means that you can lock enemies down with 16 turns in VATS at *only* 5 AGL, which may be fine, but is pretty game-breaking for a weapon that does 20 DMG per shot. Also, the weapon's health is high. Like, really high. Almost no weapons go over 600 HP. At 900 HP, you would almost never have to repair this weapon.

I was kind of aiming for being able to put maybe a thousand rounds or so through it without it breaking, but now I look it over a fully repaired 750HP Assault Carbine will fire like 3.7k rounds before breaking so yeah that makes sense. I'll raise Guns and maybe STR too, I wanted to keep it pretty simple to use reflecting the real thing but yeah that does seem a bit low now I think about it. Guns 35 STR 3-4? Finally, the AP. 10-15 per shot perhaps? I want to avoid it bursting in VATS as that more often than not translates into wasted ammo for me, and some weapons will straight up murder anything in two or three bursts with what seems to be an AP cost of 15-20 per burst. I'd still like to be able to queue up maybe 9-10 shots from full AP (to correspond with 3-4 bursts from other weapons), but I dunno if that's still not enough AP or what.

You should try popping your falloutnv prefs INI open, find the facegen section, and replace the 3.5s with 7s. Or 14s. Or 10000s.  Then do the same thing.I once had a character whose face was so big that third person was inside it.

For the fire rate and damage you've suggested for the EM-2, it should fire 4-5 round bursts in VATS for a cost of 20-25 AP. It'll be very similar to the Assault Carbine, although with about 3/4 the rate of fire and 60% more damage (although it'll actually do less damage against targets with more than 10 DT). Keeping burst fire in VATS for automatic weapons helps normalize its critical damage, thanks to the many idiosyncracies of the critical hit system that Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time.

Well that's silly.

I had a mod idea, though I have no gaming pc to play New Vegas on right now. There's an Oblivion mod called the Oblivion Graphics Extender that adds shader effects such as different forms of SSAO, Global Illumination, Dokeh DOF, sun shafts/god rays, etc. It's open source and after a quick look through the source-code it looks like all that would need to be done is to change the internal references to the Oblivion Script Extender to the New Vegas Script Extender, compile the resulting dll's, and then someone familiar with the Oblivion engine could port the .esm file over to New Vegas (which I think just activates the script to read the different shaders through a file). It would be pretty neat and a lot more expansive than New Vegas Enhanced Shaders which is simply an adapated ENB series file. I'm willing to do the source code changes and then pass the rest on to someone else if people are interested and can't compile stuff themselves for whatever reason.

I'm almost entirely sure it sadly isn't that easy, because OBSE supplies the graphics extender of oblvion with some stuff NVSE doesn't deliver. Not saying it's impossible but I'm sure there needs to be some work done on NVSE too. Also wow, this thread died with the release of Skyrim. Bethesda just should go to Obsidian, ask them to imagine a number and then write that number down on a contract to port NV to the Skyrim engine, together with new art assets and a bigger map. It'd be literally the best game. Police Automaton fucked around with this message at 12:41 on Nov 14, 2011 |
