There's a new mod out for lowered weapons that might be a good candidate to replace the two on the first page: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/20093/ Essentially your gun stays up during combat and for a few seconds (configurable) after firing or aiming, but is otherwise lowered. Better than either of the alternatives that require you to manually lower it or that keep putting your gun down in combat.

Pain Train knocks people down if you sprint into them while in power armor. I recommend http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/6580/ and http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/6740/ with it to give it a lot more oomph. I'm pretty much always in power armor so I don't use this one, but if you just wanna knock people down with your 10 STR character or whatever, you might look into http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/5099/

The practical effect is much more satisfying. I found with vanilla pain train that I would hit someone, they'd fly way the gently caress off into the distance, and then I'd have to chase them down to keep punching; or, I'd hit them, they'd hit some obstruction, and I would charge through and past them. Now you send them slightly less distance, but you collide with them as they ragdoll which means they get pushed in front of you. If you have the room to continue sprinting with these mods on, you can push people way farther, and they're not 10 meters away when you're finished sprinting. It also means you can do things like bodyslam people into walls and off ledges much more easily. If it's not for you then that's what it is, but I can't recommend the collision paintrain enough.

You should be proud! It looks like fun, and the fact that you bothered to fix the looping, added a muzzle flash, made it work with scopes, gave it a custom projectile etc all make the end result look slick and smooth. And yes, modding can be a lot of fun, sometimes more fulfilling than actually playing the game. There's a reason so many people make mods!

The mod author is saying, "Hey, my mod was featured in this compilation by a youtube personality" which means that if you clicked on those videos, maybe one fifth of the time or less would be spent on the mod in question. The compilations all have T&A for the reasons that have been discussed above. Note that the one video which features only the earmuffs has a normal thumbnail. e: as to your issue when browsing the nexus, make sure you have CBBE/Bodyslide, anime, and skimpy unchecked in your settings as well as "adult" files; most of those mods are going to be about "provocative" armor as well, and you can safely remove them. I have all off, and almost never have to sort through endless waifu dolls and dresses to get decent content. aniviron fucked around with this message at 06:50 on Dec 8, 2016 |

The game doesn't really simulate stuff that's outside of the player's immediate vicinity very well, so most of it would have to be an abstracted numbers game unless you want the player to go along with every single patrol. This is why you can have 5000 defense rating worth of missile turrets at a settlement and two super mutants with pipe guns and a dog can win against it- the battle doesn't really get fought, it just puts some numbers down and rolls a die. STALKER: Clear Sky suffered from this problem to some extent as well, and it made the game fairly frustrating sometimes, your guys would just lose over and over. That said, it did do a much better job simulating actual NPC positions on the map and that sort of thing when you were not there. It's a good idea, I mean, the real reason it didn't work for Clear Sky was because it was either very buggy or intentionally set up badly to the point where you could exterminate factions but then they'd just sort of respawn on top of your dudes occupying their headquarters and go back to wiping out your faction. Having that system but without this problem in FO4 could potentially give you a real sense of impacting the world that is missing now.

That's a pretty impressive technical achievement for the gamebryo engine if it is true. Didn't comment on that one because I'd never played or heard of the mod. But if Immersive Patrols in Skyrim does pretty much what you want in FO4, then yeah, it can be done.

Pretty sure skills are just out of reach of most modders. The coding and implementation alone would be a huge challenge but doing balancing it would be beyond most people. I imagine it'd gently caress up pretty much every other mod that touched gameplay at all as well. Which is a shame, because the skill system was pretty decent in Fallout, it wasn't arcane or hard to get into, and it didn't punish you heavily for not playing the "right way" like older TES games did. Its removal is a big part of why FO4 is a shooter instead of an RPG/FPS hybrid. It's tough to make the player pass skill checks when there are no skills.

Alexander DeLarge posted:A friend and I have been approaching dozens of mod creators building up a portfolio of interesting mods that compliment Horizon. I'm surprised how many of these guys are open to sharing their work. I'd love to see a return to the durability system. The FO3/4 implementation wasn't perfect, but it did two things really well; it meant that to run super high end weapons and armor you had to either invest in repair, spend caps to get things repaired, or accept that your equipment is going to function less than ideally. It also added to the feeling of a post-apocalypse, everything around you was broken which was nicely mirrored by the fact that all your stuff would get broken if you didn't actively spend time preventing it from getting that way. I wish the best of luck to you guys!

I do like HOF's ideas, and would largely agree; the one issue I have is that weapon repair kits trivialized the whole system. For just repair of 30/40 depending on whether you took the magazine reading perk and four of the most common items in the game (plus duct tape) you could repair everything, so once you reached that point repair became more of a chore than a need; I'd never not be able to repair my weapons. If you can always guarantee a repair, it's just a nuisance that you have to take care of every now and then, but when there is a real chance that sometimes you might have to go for a while with a less-than-perfect gun before you get what you need to fix it, then it becomes interesting. Also, being able to repair valuable weapons up to 100% and sell them was completely economy-destroying, but that would be easy to remedy.

Bilal posted:No, the only reason that Fallout 3 or New Vegas needed weapon degradation was to prevent the player from sequence breaking the game by getting a hold of a late game weapon early on. For example, the minigun dropped from the quest in Novac is at almost zero condition to prevent you from getting a minigun that early in the game. I'm not sure that's true, especially since 1) the minigun really sucks in FNV and 2) there's a garage in Novac that has everything you need to make 10 repair kits less than 100m away from where that encounter happens. I'd guess it has more to do with preserving the game economy, selling a full condition minigun is a lot of capsmoney. Probably also has to do with the fact that a low level player against a nightkin with a full condition minigun would get killed pretty quickly.

Depends on if you want to experience the game more or less as intended but better. I guess here's what I'd add: Place Everywhere Spring Cleaning Reverb and Ambiance Overhaul Unofficial Fallout 4 patch Shell Rain Achievements (normally adding mods disables them, if you care about this sort of thing) Durable Vertibirds But really there's just going to be a lot of small things you will want fixed as you play the game and you'll find mods based on that. My mod list is like 50-some odd long, but most of them are really small things like making the spotlights that target the player cast shadows, making the power armor impact landing not aggro friendlies, nicer-looking settlement crafting items, etc. Just tons of tiny nitpicky fixes that you may or may not want changed.

Terrorforge posted:Awareness, yeah. The thing with that is that the FO4 armor mechanics are so unintuitive I find it really hard to grasp what the numbers actually mean. It's like an exponentially decreasing reduction based on the ratio between your damage and the DR value? If an enemy has 50 ballistic/30 energy, do I do more damage with a weapon that deals 80 ballistic or 60 energy? Who loving knows!* It's an interesting problem, this. JE Sawyer was talking about FNV during a recent event on Twitch where he and a bunch of other Obsidian guys were playing it, and he said that he thinks a system like Skyrim/FO4 is a better gameplay system than straight DT, but they went for DT in FNV specifically because it was an intuitive, easy-to-understand gameplay mechanic that was still pretty close to the mark on what they wanted to achieve whereas the arbitrary armor numbers are very opaque which makes it tough to have an informed decision on what to wear as a player.

SeanBeansShako posted:Hey everyone time for my weekly Nexus mod round up! here is some stuff! Those are all well and good, but I'm really surprised to not see Combat Zone Restored in there. For all the (deserved) griping about cut content and missed opportunities in the game, this seems ideal. The mod seems to more or less bring the Combat Zone back to being what it was originally intended to be. horse mans posted:EDIT: Additionally, the bUseCombinedObjects setting under [General] in fallout4.init seems relevant too, but it's not clear to me what it does or what the implications of toggling it are. It seems the default is 1, and 0 is what people recommend setting it to to scrap objects within expanded settlement borders, but it also seems to cause a non-trivial performance hit. I didn't see anyone cover this, so I'll explain it: In most games each individual mesh is its own object, which has been true in past Bethesda games as well. You can turn those objects on or off easily in the level editors and in game with the console. Fallout 4, however, uses combined objects for most things in the world, which is pretty much what it sounds like- you take several different static mesh objects and combine them into one. That's why you can't scrap most things outside of settlements even if you expand the settlement boundaries, because the objects that are placed which still look and act like discreet individual objects are combined into one entity as far as the game is concerned. This was done, as you say, for performance-related reasons. Setting combined objects to 1 means true, 0 is false. So turning off object combining will let you scrap individual items in areas that aren't normally part of settlements, but at a significant framerate loss.

Yeah Russel has pretty good range; though Valentine and Belethor are both characters that everyone who has played both FO4 and Skyrim will have run into and both sound fairly distinct on their own, so I can see why people would be able to spot that one really quickly. I was surprised to learn how much he voiced too though, which is generally the sign of a good VA.

I would recommend as an alternative to these, a different Chinese Assault Rifle and R91. The two linked have some really awful materials that make the guns look like they were sculpted out of a clay/plastic material in game. The R91 I linked isn't perfect but it's better, and the Chinese Assault Rifle is great, with the caveat that it's held further away from the player in first person than any other weapon is for some reason.

Feedback as to your damage system: Not sure how you plan to handle bleeding, but it would have to be either A) The armor reduces bleed damage by a flat percentage based on Maths, or B), it reduces the percentage of the time a bullet actually does make you bleed. B makes a lot more sense but I have no idea how tough it would be to code. If you go for option A then you're back in the same situation we already have where good armors give you great damage resist, and if you go for option B it makes fast firing guns much much better than Rifleman perk weapons because you can stack bleed very very quickly no matter how much armor is on the player (or whatever the player is shooting, Mirelurk queen etc). Oh, and I think you can very much justify robots taking bleed damage; their bodies are still full of fluids that circulate to keep them running, i.e. oil, coolant, hydraulic fluids, which are the equivalent of bleeding. I like the idea of ammo switching but as far as I am aware there is no way to switch what kind of bullet a gun shoots in the game without swapping out parts at a weapons workbench, so that will be a technical hurdle to overcome. Radiation damage on energy weapons is bad. Energy weapons are already very second-class in Fallout 4 because of their lower damage potential, their lack of variety, and the fact that so many things have more ER than DR. Making them do rad damage instead of bleed just makes them much worse- because almost everything in the wasteland except humans (which make up maybe a third of everything you fight) are immune to rad damage. Even if everything had no rad resist it would still be worthless- the damage doesn't stack, what happens is that the energy damage depletes their health pool and then the rad damage decreases their max health, but they've already lost the health that you've removed from their max so it effectively does no damage at all. The Radium Rifle has this same problem. Even with Nuclear Physicist, you will kill your enemies from normal damage long long before the rad damage even becomes an issue, and the rad damage isn't helping you kill them. It's neat that you're taking inspiration from STALKER and I agree, STALKER has a cool armor system. I'm just not sure how applicable it is here, because I'm pretty sure it does use a similar system to FNV's DT, based on my experiences in exoskeletons in those games. Small caliber bullets will still hurt you, just not very much. There are a few other issues that make it not translate very well also- STALKER uses the bleed percent chance resist on your armor, but even in bad armor you can bandage to stop the bleeding or take coagulants to make you less likely to bleed for a while, but in FO4 bleeding is just inevitability. STALKER also didn't have to contend with energy weapon damage, which is starting to make FO4's armors have a lot of really complicated numbers. Finally, impact damage in STALKER was for melee attacks, not bullets. I wouldn't recommend implementing that into FO4 though, the system you're proposing is complicated enough as is.

I always hated placing occlusion manually, was a pain in the rear end, but then again I was a modder making relatively small multiplayer maps instead of a professional game designer working on a triple A singleplayer game. I wonder how much of a performance increase you'd get from doing a better job with the occlusion alone, if it'd be worth making a mod for. I'm not going to be the one who does it, but it does make me wonder.
