@Coughing Hobo:
Are you using a 32-Bit OS? For the life of me, I couldn't get the LAA enabled FalloutNV.exe to load. I used the similar steps that you have listed previously which is also found on the nexus page of the 3GB enabler mod.

No, I'm on Windows 7 64-bit. There's additional steps on the mod page for 32-bit OSes, I believe.

EDIT: Oh god new page so bare :gonk: Here's something I offer up to you! psychoelf's level stripping mod! If a vendor sells it, if a monster spawns somewhere, there's a chance it will even if you're level 1. Everything's available from the start.

Yes, it is a stupid question, because Nevada Skies includes an optional URWL compatibility patch on its Nexus listing, and its FAQ describes specifically what load order it should occur in.

okay, I'm back working on my patch that would integrate appropriate backpacks on appropriate people across the wasteland, all happily lootable. Right now I am anticipating it will remain an extension of this mod just because I really like some of the aspects of it

BUT

The "special forces" version of this pack is missing a world model, so dropping it causes the drat thing to become impossible to interact with, and it floats in the air. Swell.

I'm looking this over in nifskope, and have come to the conclusion that I am lost. anyone with modeling experience want to help me out a bit here, so I can make this backpack fall down to the ground, have havok physics, and be stackable in some supply tents? I'm going to start muddling through, but have low hope regarding my ability to pull this off. I may end up flipping over to using KDS's backpack mod as a base, but I really don't like the way his packs looks for the NCR military.

EDIT

and after doing some research, it seems I'm probably going to have to switch over to KDS's mod instead.

A combination between the Warhammer fans being crazy, Warhammer itself being a comically exaggerated universe that just falls short of Axe Cop in terms of being ridiculous, and Warhammer games have a tendency to suck, so modding Warhammer into good games is like you are almost playing a good Warhammer game.

It's an interesting and popularized art/design style, and also nerds love Warhammer. Now the desire for a Star Fox and Fallout crossover is where the confusion starts.

So, if I'm gonna use Electro Citys Nevada Skies Replacer, URWL, URWL compatibility patch from nevada skies, and then Enhanced Shaders, this would work correct?

That should work, and in that order, most likely. Update FOMM to see if there's a new BOSS masterlist (because all of those mods are fairly high profile and should be on it by now.)

No, you have to manually update through a menu option. It’s a two-part check; first it’ll look for updates to the load order template, then it’ll look for updates to FOMM itself.

My personal experience with enhanced shaders wasn’t very pleasant. I have an overclocked Q6600 and a 4850 X2. The enhanced shaders would cut my framerate in half, guaranteed.

I don’t think they add much to the experience, even though the screenshots are quite pretty. Downloading the detailed normal texture pack and some sort of depth of field mod would be a much better route, IMO.

Yeah I have a similar experience with similar system specs, Enhanced Shaders was nothing but a FPS hog and whatever effect it had on making the game look better was negated by the fact that it made most areas run like poo poo. I use http://newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35615 which is a depth of field mod that actually doesn't slow your system down to a crawl and it gives so much more bang for the buck than enhanced shaders did.

How the hell do you use the GECK to find a quest ID?

You tell what textures meshes will use in the Miscellaneous > Texture Set tree in the object window, actually. Not the Items > Armor category. Looking at some of the texture sets in this area, you should be able to figure out how to get a new texture set pointing to a new mesh (or a copy of a mesh that you want retextured.)

I can't check right now, but it definitely should have the proper global mesh. It had one in the place where a global mesh would go, but I can't check if it was a go mesh. I could easily bypass this by putting it in a container correct?


On second thought, I don't think it does. I downloaded the number one downloaded veteran ranger armor mod on the nexus, the FOOK one and the only way to obtain it without editing it into the game is to get it from the "QAtestbox" and that probably explains why it doesn't have a global mesh, because the only way to find it is only in a container. What a dip poo poo modder, I guess I'm a dipshit too for not knowing that it didn't have a global mesh but seriously?

Set it to use Meshes/Armor/CombatRanger/combatranger_go.nif

You'll probably have to extract the mesh from the .bsa with FOMM, though.

Taking a look at the mod's files, myself. No global mesh is a biiiiig oversight.

Also, I actually sat down and learned a few things yesterday, and am happy to say I am now back working on the backpack mod I have been skirting around for a while. I'm actually going to incorporate some of the KDS models as alternates, and am using his world models for the backpacks that don't have em. Not a perfect solution, but one I can survive.

I'd like to merge in the additional sacks, packs, and usable knapsacks from Wasteland Essential Gear too, but I'm not quite that far, and his restrictions are a lot tighter than KDS'.

Still, might give it a go on my next playthrough. It's certainly good work.

Speaking of this one, if anyone wants the non-FOOK version of it, from before it was added (Seriously, gently caress people who add poo poo to FOOK and don't leave the original), I can throw it on mediafire. It puts the armor (and there's three versions, pick which ESP you want) in the schoolhouse at goodsprings.

Are there any mods that add a lot more campfire recipes?

The original idea for my second playthrough was a drifter with very high survival and to avoid using stimpacks in favour of wasteland stuff... but although there are quite a lot of recipes, I'm really struggling to find some of the stuff to make other than some of the basic dog steak/bloatfly slider type things unless I go on lengthy adventures just to find ingredients for none-too-great recipes?

Hey all!

I'm getting close to rolling out another test of my Integration Patch for Military NV Backpacks (which will need to be used, too, its the master file)

This is building on the version I let loose around here a couple of weeks back - that one had some good stuff (NCR troopers wearing NCR-Skinned appropriate backpacks, Legion troopers having Legion-skinned backpacks, etc.) but some real bugs too. (The models for the NCR packs didn't have a world model, and would float when you let them go, becoming impossible to grab and pick up again. whoops!)

So over the last couple of days, I have scoured around for some alternatives, and thanks to a "You can do what you want with my mod, just thank me, etc." attitude with the latest release of the KDS backpack mod, I basically just grabbed his world models and grafted them into the MNVBP NCR packs as the world model. while I was at it, I added in his versions of the main NCR pack as well, although I am not as hot with the way they look. eh, anyway -

Version 2 of this is about to hit beta, and I will have the following things working:
All Backpacks renamed to something closer to what they are - NCR Military (style) backpacks (4 GI issue variants) Slave Packs (Yep I am using them, too!) in 2 flavors, 2 variants of packs in Legion colors, and a bunch of the others marked as civilian models. Traders and wasteland merchants will be packing around backpacks, as will some of the various other random folks you find out in the wasteland too!

I will eventually have variants that I will be adding to the various other factions - I plan on getting some things set up for the various raiders, escaped convicts, powder gangers, Fiends. Great Khans, etc. Basically everyone in the world potentially could be hauling around an appropriate backpack of some kind.

Of course, anyone who wants to donate some skins for their favorite pack type is more than welcome, I'm not proud, and variation is loving awesome - however I don't want to break MY IMMERSION:qq: so I would like to keep it to appropriate-themed fallout universe skins - I actually don't like the modern-looking digital camo stuff, and will be phasing it out for good ol' green canvas, black, Vault Blue, leather, and other things as I can come up with them.

However if you want to help out, feel free. (and if you have some goofy idea that is really stupid and will make other people hate you, that's fine too. I'm actually planning on some dumb poo poo like a bright pink kid's backpack as a unique item, if I can pull off the scripting to make it work.)

And eventually, if I don't get bored and stop doing this, I'd like to have it include stuff like the rope-and-a-scrap-of-canvas bags you see people wearing around, the courier bags, a luggable knapsack, etc, etc. I really would love to have a bindlestiff with a nice polka-dot bindle, but that's probably just me.

(oh yeah, this is basically just a cocktease announcement, I'm not going to have it out until tomorrow at the earliest)
