Stupid question, but I'm running Cirosan's Classic Overhaul in combination with Project Nevada, and it seems CCO is overriding the reduced XP I set for PN (50% or 33% because I run a stupid amount of content mods). Is there any way I can stop that from happening? Using that recalibration token and changing settings didn't seem to work.

It sounds like CCO is loading later, which means that your adjustable XP rates from PN aren't taking effect. The easiest thing to do would be to rearrange your load order. Whatever loads later (that is, whatever is positioned further away from the FalloutNV.esm) will take charge of those changes.

Alternatively, you can open up CCO in FNVEdit, find the value in question, and change it to match whatever you want.

Anyone know why changes to an item in nifskope don't show up in game? I'm trying to adjust the height of my belt and buckle to fill in a gap between my shirt and pants, and it looks good in nifskope but once I'm in game it's way off. No matter what I do :argh:

That seemed to work. Thanks.

I'm still weighing whether or not to install AWOP or not. It seems it's getting bad press from the thread for being a bloated mess, but the last time I used it it seemed to add a lot of locations to explore, which I liked. What I didn't like was running into free NCR Ranger Combat Armor and a Ranger Sequoia for the taking inside a locale south of Primm, guarded only by a few giant radscorpions.

I like having at least some semblance of balance, but the ridiculous overflow of loot from the mod seems to hurt that, even with economy tweaks installed. Are there any alternatives to AWOP that add a bunch of places to explore in the Mojave?

The Monster Mod is probably going to be the closest thing to MMM you're going to get. I could have sworn I saw a patch somewhere that removed the spiders though.

EDIT: Found it, it's actually for the Monster Mod Wasteland Edition, which takes the resources from MM and is more of an overhaul then a feature adder. It has a bunch of patches that remove various creatures, such as spiders, non-lore creatures, etc.

I like AWOP well enough, the added areas are pretty nice. Are you using the low loot patches included with the mod? There's also a patch that removes loot from interior areas:

Oh wow, I haven't seen those. I might have to give those a try. I wonder if AWOP is gonna conflict with any of my current mods, though I doubt it will. I run a bunch of the quest mods (DEIMOS, The New Bison Steve, New Vegas Bounties I/II, Tales from the Burning Sands, Beyond Boulderdome) in addition to having IWS and DFB - Random Encounters, and I'm always on the lookout for more. I like having incredibly busy and populated wastelands.

I even used to run Tale of Two Wastelands, but I started over shortly after reaching the Mojave, and I didn't feel like doing everything in the capital wasteland all over. Not to mention I have some minor nitpicks about that mod.

Come to think of it, this thing doesn't really have a name. Any suggestions?

Looks awesome! I don't know if it's the right size but maybe just jam an entire ECP or MFC in there? As for a name, what about Laser-Scoped Auto Six-Shooter, or LSASS?

Edit: Maybe Laser Single Action Six Shooter? Don't know if you have it double or single action or even if those terms apply.

It's a bit of a pain in the rear end, but you need to do the following:

- Adjust things like you want them, then click Apply.
- Go to NiSkinData under BSDismemberSkinInstance in the tree.
- Rotation and Translation values probably aren't zeroed out under Block Details which they should be, so right-click on Translation and Normalize.
- Adjust again, then Apply. You might need to do these two steps more than once.
- Then lastly, Spells, Batch and Update All Tangent Spaces.

Open GECK and find its 2d and 3d sound file and increase the attenuation until you're happy with it. You can preview the sound by pressing on play in the window.

It must be the idle animation nudging it out of place, then. I never figured out how to use animations in NifSkope, but you can preview them in the GECK IIRC.

Animation previews are a tab on characters. Just grab a random NPC and make sure your armor has the highest DT of anything in their inventory.

Yeah I dunno

No matter what animation is playing, no changes in the outfit occur.

I could maybe fiddle with an outfit or two from that spice of life mod though.

Babby's first mod: https://github.com/v1ld/reactive_hud

Only useful if strange coincidence has you using oHud, HUD Extended and Project Nevada's Grenade hotkeys and you don't want to see any of them.

The GECK's brilliant error reporting strategy of stoic silence is infuriating. It knows, but it chooses not to share.

Can it be made to tell you why it won't compile the script?

There's a place online. What is it supposed to do? hide them? like iHud does? Which I think is in oHud?

I think I oHud is iHud, aHud, and primary needs one. It's the raddest esp. when it comes to screenshots.

Also, question: does changing the name of a file severely gently caress stuff up? Like can i change <modname>.esp to <different>.esp and have poo poo be chill or will it cause massive explosions and the like?

iHud lets you hide and show the HUD with explicit commands - for eg., show when the right mouse button is clicked or if the weapon is drawn. It requires actions on your part to show/hide hud elements for all but HP and AP. HP can be auto-shown whenever it falls below a threshold and likewise for AP, whenever it's in use.

This mod extends that reactivity to Primary Needs and Rad count (auto-show when close to debilitating threshold), PN's energy/grenade hud elements (auto-show when in use) and HUD Extended's neat health/armor status graphic (auto-show when condition is below threshold). I'll add the gun condition/ammo graphic soonish (auto-show if condition below threshold or ammo below full capacity).

iHud and its fellow mods are fantastic and I've been using a very minimal, compass and clock only, HUD. I disliked having to explicitly show HUD elements for periodic checks on primary needs values though, hence this mod.

Likewise HUD Extended, which iHud doesn't control at all: I like the limb/armor condition graphic, but don't want it on screen all the time.

Edit: To be very clear, this mod is a very small addition to iHud. All it does is toggle iHud's display condition for various elements in a more reactive fashion - removing the need for you to do it. Likewise for HUD Extended's limb/armor graphic.

E2: Use English.

Dont use either, use Mod Organizer, its the one in the Skyrim modding thread, and it works for FONV just fine and is awesome. no mixing of files.

just install it to your FONV directory

It was Lonesome Road, in my experience. I don't think it's been fixed, but you can easily do it with a console command:

setenemy 0001b2a4 04008d74 0 0

Replace the leading 04 with whatever corresponds to Lonesome Road's place in your load order, FOMM should tell you.

iHUD's FOMOD installer detects already installed HUD components that iHUD subsequently manages (that's the point of iHUD). MO's directory structure makes it such that iHUD cannot detect already installed HUD components because they are not in the data directory.

Hey, look! The DLC merged patch for Follower Tweaks is here early!

Also, for those of you who have reported followers randomly unequipping and reequipping their weapons, try this patch and see if that resolves the problem.

Both of these are working well for me, I've had them active for a few hours now. The weapon removal patch is huge. Was this a problem in CCO or the core game?

Having had a chance to play with the GECK, I think it's criminal that there's no facility to export/import mods as text files in a standardized directory tree. So, something like:

code:

MANIFEST
globals
leveled_lists/
messages
quests/
  startThingsQuest
scripts/
  startThingsScript
...

This would facilitate so much:
- It'd be much easier for you to keep merged and un-merged patches in sync.

- How do people co-operate on mods today? Send esps around for manual merging and hope for the best? Ugh, if so. Working on a text tree allows all of the myriad, well-understood version control tools and techniques in use for software elsewhere.

That last would be pretty huge.

I guess FNVEdit could do this, in theory.
