Cirosan posted:Indeed we were, then life happened and development slowed. The big question to ask is: Is there any reason for CCO to have such a feature when PM already does it? I'm not opposed to making such a thing, but I don't know if there's anything I can do differently enough to warrant the effort. Improved performance for a general solution for placed items would be the other reason. Here's Puce Moose mentioning the slowdown in the mod thread.

The slowdown issue does not surprise me in the least. When you have every single ingestible loaded in memory constantly checking how close the player is, there will be blood. Here is the script PM uses, for the record. The annotations are my own additions. short DoOnce short ran1 Begin OnLoad ; Run as soon as the object enters memory - is "loaded" if DoOnce == 0 set ran1 to getrandompercent ; Generate a random number from 1-100 if ran1 < aawChance ; If the number was less than the rarity value specified by the user, the item disappears if aawDebug == 100 showmessage aawDebugMSG, ran1, aawChance endif set DoOnce to 1 if GetDistance Player > 175 ; Is the item out of player eyeshot? 175 units is about a yard away; the script won't remove things that you can currently see, though it is possible for an item to be in a room and then suddenly be gone when you come back disable ; This disables the object from the game world, but does not remove it from memory markfordelete ; This flags the object to be cleared from memory the next time the system checks - the same function is used for Caravan cards you pick up endif else set DoOnce to 1 ; If the item passed the percentile check, set this flag so that the check is never made again endif endif End And this script is run by every instance of nearly ingestible in the entire world. We're talking chems, drinks, food, and even some clutter/flavor items - anything that needs artificial scarcity created. Every time you see one of those things anywhere in the world, it's running that script. Yeah, there's gonna be slowdown. I'll see if I can't think of a better solution.

Like I said a while back, you could probably open up FO3's "Fallout Wanderer's Edition" and see how they did it (or if they did it differently) since they had an identical feature in their overhaul. I wasn't even aware of a slowdown issue with that particular plugin until today, and I've been using it on both my desktop and laptop installs, so ![]()

Cirosan posted:Sorry to report that after taking a closer look at Puce Moose's Reduced World Items, it conflicts with both CCO and JSawyer. The reason it does this is because the author attached the script that makes the disappear-sorcery happen to the base form of all affected ingestibles. Generally, tweaking the base form of something is going to make your mod a compatibility nightmare. drat. Well, I suppose it wouldn't have impacted my current game anyway. I'm at the point where I got 100k caps extra lying around, so a few stimpaks less on a shelf somwhere isn't making a difference. Also RE: Stimpaks, noticed that NCR rangers are a pretty big source for them. NCR keeps sending those chums after me and each one drops like 2-4. I looted 14 off the last bunch alone.

I could use some help if anyone feels up for it. I just reinstalled and decided to give the Mod Organizer a go, figuring since it made things easier with Skyrim, I'd give it a shot with this as well. But I can't figure out how to get it to launch NV4GB. Apparently NV4GB needs to stay with a dll file called "fnv4gb_helper", but by launching NV4GB through the mod organizer it loses the dll and throws up an error. Has anyone else experimented with the mod organizer for New Vegas, and does anyone know how to make these two work together?

Possibly because MO is primarily made for Skyrim?

We use our own mod-kits for guns we've added, but otherwise we do our best to use stock resources where we can. As for the guns that should use .45, use the Honest Hearts optional esp to add support for those guns in the pack that would use it. They will use the stock .45 ammo with that patch enabled. Speaking of Stock Weapon replacements, I managed to finally use the coveted ME2 mod. And needless to say, with Police Automaton's mod, I get to now become Shepard and is cool with that.

So I'm going to try a run with the J.E. Sawyer mod, and I'm wondering how I can get it to play nice with Project Nevada. Do I just need to remove the re-balance mod from my load order, or that and the DLC re-balance .esps?

It depends on which mod you want to be more effective. Whichever comes last will assert the most control over things. If you want to just use J.E. Sawyer's mod, just uncheck PN's rebalance module. I kinda like having access to ti so I can tweak my game on the fly, though it can lead to weird interactions, especially with CCO. Anyway, i'm gettnig myself a kicking rad new graphics card (660 ti), what are the general recommended/necessary mods for graphical overhauls? And is there a way to download these via bittorrent or anything, because I know that NMC is loving huge and downloading it just normally is begging for errors and poo poo. EDIT: And I realize pretty much everything in the OP is worth a look, I'm just curious to people's take on stuff and what not. SpookyLizard fucked around with this message at 18:43 on Nov 10, 2012 |

NMC is pretty much the go-to. I would install the Ojo Bueno pack first, then NMC over top of it, which will replace pretty much every texture. Don't forget Arenovalis' retextures either.

So I think one of the mods I have installed has broken hacking, now there is only one option on any hacking screen, which is the correct password. I've gone back and tried the game with the last few mods I installed deactivated, but so far the problem is persisting. I don't know why this is bothering me so much but does anyone have any suggestions on how to identify what's causing it?

Or go into FNVEdit and see if any of your mods are changing Game Setting>iHackingMinWords or iHackingMaxWords. SpookyLizard posted:killer graphix These are all the texture mods I have loaded, but I have a compulsion. I realise most people wouldn't bother going this far. Game looks great, though. It's worth knowing that most Fallout 3 texture mods work for New Vegas, because the paths are the same. ![]() At the very least on top of NMC and WRP I recommend MGs Neat Clutter Retexture, the Bornagain NV ones, Better HiRes Skill Books, and Magazine Redux. The last two just make those things easier to spot in the game, otherwise they tend to look like blurry rubbish clutter next to the NMC textures. Also, ENB doesn't seem to be popular around here, but I think it makes the game look about 50x better if used right. I'm using my own preset so I can't recommend anything on the nexus, but maybe look at what's available? There's no where near the insane over saturation of presets that exists for Skyrim.

How many of those are different mods? I've downloaded NMC's large and am now downloading Ojo Bueno. Is Poco Bueno useful with it as well? Other than that, I'll grab Bornagain, Better HiRes Skillbooks and the Magazine Redux one. Unless UPS delivers on sundays, i won't get a chance to really play with it until monday, but I guess that gives me more time to do research. EDIT: Did you get these from the nexus or some other site? Because I can't quite seem to find them on the nexus, though it's entirely possible it's the nexus being dumb. EDIT2.0; Can't find Better HiRes Skill Books, anyway. SpookyLizard fucked around with this message at 02:23 on Nov 11, 2012 |

Unless I don't understand your question. Some of them are from the same mod page, I guess, like the Ojo Bueno textures. Those come in packs though, and I wouldn't bother getting all of them. Objects and Securitron are the only thing NMC doesn't cover. Poco Bueno isn't worth getting for that reason, unless you like the way it looks better than NMC. Ojo Bueno is literally the exact same thing as Poco Bueno, but higher res and modular. They're all from nexus, but some are from the Fallout 3 nexus. They work just the same.

Crash on launch means you've got an .esp looking for an .esm that it can't find, or you've got an issue in the [fonts] section of your .ini (in regards to DarnifiedUI).

Downside of being modular: You have to provide patches for every conceivable combination of mods and/or DLC. I got lazy making merged patches (i.e., one Classic Perks patch for all DLC). I freely admit that the sheer number of patches is ridiculous, and something I should've been more mindful of. I wouldn't say there's "no plans" to make merged patches so much as it is "I don't know where I would start". My knee-jerk instinct is to simply merge related patches together in FNVEdit, but I'm not nearly as knowledgeable about that as I am with the GECK, and I don't know if it would be that simple. So here's my first question: Would someone more skilled with FNVEdit be able to tell me if the patch merging would be a viable solution? My second: Assuming it is, would some of you guys be willing to beta test the new merged patches to make sure they work before I include them in a formal release?

FNVedit is really just a diff tool and I think a lot easier to use than the CK, but that is because I am A Big Dummy when it comes to CK stuff. I think the single CCO file/patch thing should assume the use of all DLC, Project Nevada Equipment, and Jsawyer, since that is the best way to play ![]()

I used FNVPlugin to merge the various CCO DR DLC in to one patch just as an experiment (I'm no expert). Using NVEC, PN core, CCO, WMX, and Jsawyer. Also did all five of the CCO Perk Rebalance. Got a couple of hours of play in with no problems but haven't started any DLC. Seems good so far. I can only image how complicated making all those patches work together. I think it more than fair that some modders assume that if you are using their level of mods, then you already have all the DLC.
