[QUOTE=doommarine23;43806644]You guys have any advice for designing energy weapons? I'm having a really hard time making them for the weapon pack. The insane 50s style box laser guns and tube plasma weapons is cool, but I don't know how to really make that into "more" guns. I'm also trying to make some real gun looking weapons like the Glock 88 or Laser RCW.

If you guys have any suggestion for "real" energy weapons or "50s tech", go ahead; I'd love some extra suggestions as I struggle to make something decent. :v:[/QUOTE]

Try the "retro" look, maybe. I know OWB might have taken that for its energy weapon designs (i.e. the LAER, Sonic Emitter) but it's a fairly easy to replicate style, I think.

[QUOTE='[Green];43806684']I just played Lonesome Road yesterday so no, it was a 10mm pistol the good general had.
As for both weapons sharing the ammo pool...sounds risky. It'd burn the ammo twice as fast.
I'd rather have the pistol as a low weight carry backup and style point collector.[/QUOTE]

If you go to Bardon in Hoover Dam, running out of ammo for just about anything becomes very difficult. I always use him to sell the Sierra Madre gold.

[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;43807698]Does he carry MF cells?[/QUOTE]

I think so. About 400 each time his inventory's restocked.

Hey I'm not sure if you're taking weapon requests, but if you are is there any chance you could make an energy shotgun if it's possible? I've always wanted to see a laser / plasma shotgun.

[QUOTE=coyote93;43798342]Hey guys, tell me, are there really a mod limit of 144 mods in fnv? I know i can merge mods, but that often is really unstable imo. And i would like to know if anyone here have gotten an stable install with over 144 active esp's / esm's?[/QUOTE]

I could run the game fine (except for occasional crashes) with 199 plugins (so,mods.). But 200 plugins broke fucking everything,so I think that's the actual limit.

yes, I take requests, both in facepunch PM and (preferably for organization) [EMAIL="[e-mail]"][e-mail][/EMAIL]

Please, anyone who has a request use that email freely.

Yes I plan on taking a look at diversifying energy weapons, they lack pretty much everything. Every laser gun is just a straight beam, every plasma gun is just a blob, with the exceptions being one-offs like the laser minigun or RCW.

You can expect to see energy weapons just as diverse as small guns, ranging from automatics to shotguns to hand cannons to pistols to smgs to etc etc.

You can also expect tons of new modular ammos that will make energy weapons performance differently, because why not?

Those do look pretty unique and fallout already has a bit like that so it would fit, thank you!

American patriot, right here.

The Boomer hat seems to look coolest, but there's also the Boomer cap and the Beret that I can consider plus Combat helmet. Ugh, decisions, decisions...
Might give him a cigar and the All-American.
Any suggestions for a good pistol that a general would have? I'm considering DM Police Pistol.[/QUOTE]

[URL="http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/sidearmenergy.php"]there's a huge bunch of classic energy weapon designs here from movies and pulp novels, as well as some sciency shit you could maybe use for inspiration[/URL]

[editline]6th February[/editline]

also there's a weapon called a "[URL="http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/sidearmexotic.php#id--"Fan_Beam""]fan beam[/URL]" on the Exotic tab which sounds pretty cool imo, assuming it doesn't just crash gamebryo

No, it's fine; I settled for the regular ass 9mm. It's simple, so it fits.
Now I have a problem. I tested equipping the Battle Rifle (This Machine is the same model basically) and it clips through my back. Any idea how to make it holster further away? It'd be the perfect choice, really.

You can add the Power Armor animation flag to the armor - the problem is, you'll also get kinda wonky leg and arm anims with this (since they're made for the chunky PA, obviously). No other way as far as I know (well, unless you were to edit the gun model, but then it'd be off center when actually held and basically what I'm saying is Gamebryo sucks)

I'm torn between the following choices:

Springfield M1903:

Mini-14:

M1A1 Paratrooper Carbine:

I mean [I]technically[/I] I could get them all but I don't have infinite weight. Generally speaking WW1-WW2 era and wood furnished stuff is greaaaaaaaat.
Goes well with the general coat. Black weapons...not so much.

Got him a bitching cigar. A general gotta have a cigar.
Shame that it clips into his lower lip, but it's the best thing available.

I would have said Springfield seeing as it's an iconic American gun used for 2 world wars. Though I also have a huge bias toward bolt action weapons.

There's also the fact the Garand-lover in me can't unsee the Mini-14's ejected shells being blocked by the scope (though I'd imagine they actually go off to the right, knowing that there's a charging handle on that side and all)
