Fallout Series Thread V14: When i entered this thread i was hoping there would be more gambling

[_charon]

Is New Vegas Redesigned 3 not compatible with Mod Organizer or Project Nevada? I've been trying to reinstall everything for the last few hours, but everyone has exclamation mark heads with NVR3 and those are the only things I haven't used with it before and oh god.
I've tried installing them through FOMM instead of MO (that's how I have them right now), turning off the FCO .esms and .esps, and messing with the load order, and nothing is working.
please help it's terrifying

[QUOTE=lintz;46168411]problem: you're not taking DR into account[/QUOTE]

Yes, you're right. First off the criticals don't matter since the critical multiplier is zero, we don't need Finesse and Better Criticals. Also, I forgot Living Anatomy, Lord Death, and Bloody Mess, which each give multiplicative damage bonuses.

If Fhenexx is right we're still in the clear. Most NV enemies have 0% DR and it makes sense that TTW extends this to Fallout 3 creatures. If we're assuming this is the case, then take Psycho and Slasher to get two 25% damage bonuses. This brings the damage above 15, the DT of the Legendary Deathclaw. Some DT is much higher. Luckily, DT in New Vegas will actually let one fifth of the damage after DR through, bringing it down around 3 in most cases.

Under poor circumstances, they'll have 85% DR, arbitrarily high DT, and we'll have maxed Energy Weapons skill and poor weapon condition. In this case the damage is reduced to less than 3% of its original damage, around 0.25 damage per shot.

As far as I know, that is. The wiki is unclear about when and how additive damage bonuses are added.

The main issue is cost now. Since the shots will always do some damage, how quickly will it run out of CND and how much does it cost to repair? Will the cost outweigh the accuracy benefits? Does this even work?

Only someone with TTW and a couple hours may help us now.

I checked the wiki on how the damage calculations work, and at 0.25 damage, it would be rounded down to 0.

The laser detonator has 0 value, and can be repaired with super common laser pistols , so cost should be a non-issue. It also has the highest item durability of any weapon in the game, and as far as I know, the weapon degradation formula for New Vegas doesn't account for weapon damage anyway.

I don't have TTW, and I've played New Vegas so much that I'm basically sick of it. So someone else has to take the plunge.

-snip found the issue, too many mods on-

[ras8472]

Quick question, I've been juggling the idea of re-installing Fallout: New Vegas back on Steam and I was wondering if there were any mods to make the game models look better overall? Like not Skyrim quality good (but if that does exist...), but better models than what's in vanilla.

[Zethiwag]

[QUOTE=hypno-toad;46167849]New vegas just plays way fucking better on PC. load times are like 5x as fast, higher resolution gameplay and control sticks and autoaim can never match the precision of mouse. Like my first few play experiences in Fallout 3 was on the 360 and no regrets about going PC, it's just way better.

anyways

The thing about the load times swayed me, and that it's £15 for the ultimate edition. I might try a few of these mods too.

Is there a mod that fixes the ash/goo piles not despawning without conflicting with EVE?

[Zethiwag]

Ok I've already had problem. How do I install mod.

[editline]7th October 2014[/editline]

Or, what directory should I put the mod manager in? And then how do I install mods through the manager?

I dont know how to fix it off thr top of my head but you could bandaid fix it by selecting the ash/goo piles and typing in MarkForDelete in console, which will delete them entirely from the world. Just be careful not to delete other things that you might need.

That said, there's probably a mod for it out there somewhere, and, barring that, it might be possible to write a script to do just that, but I wouldnt know how to off the top of my head.

I dont think you need to put the mod manager anywhere special assuming you have nexus or fallout mod managers, it autodetects your fallot directory. Installing mods is usually as simple as throwing everything into the Data folder. If you get a mod thats in a .fomod, then you use the mod manager to unpack it and install it for you. Its quite simple, but I cant explain it in detail atm

console command is actually just clicking on the object and typing "disable"

[QUOTE]According to Joshua Sawyer, the trait was added as a compromise between members of the team who suggested "wacky" content and those who thought such content would be out of place.[/QUOTE]

I read this off the Fallout Wiki about about the Wild Wasteland trait.

It makes me wonder what the tone and setting of Fallout is supposed to be if the developers didn't quite have a united vision for the game.

Playing Fallout 2 again... It's not easy.

[hypno-toad]

[QUOTE=Gogi;46176762]Playing Fallout 2 again... It's not easy.[/QUOTE]

Been pretty easy for me.

From the getgo I ran to NCR with Sulik, pickpocketed a Bozar from a gunshop guard, immediately used said bozar to turn gun merchants into paste and steal their entire inventory before scutling off to san fransico to buy better armor and get mad XP for doing brotherhood, hubologist and shi missions

It's all about getting off to a good start with an effective character build

Until you get past vault city its piss hard cause the first few places have barely any weapon loot

[Fhenexx]

[QUOTE=cdr248;46175976]console command is actually just clicking on the object and typing "disable"[/QUOTE]
That's actually a popular misconception, and typically one that a lot of mod makers make. "Disable" does not actually delete a reference, as you probably want to do with the ash and goo piles, but instead simply "hides" it and stops it from rendering. The AI stops as well, but the object still "exists" in the game world, and scripts still run on them. Because of this, disabling a lot of objects en masse causes save game bloat because the objects aren't truly deleted.

However, I was a bit wrong, however, when I told you when you have to type "MarkForDelete" in console for it. It turns out you actually have to disable the reference [I]first[/I] before you can mark it for delete, which will actually remove the reference entirely from the game. I believe what you need to do is type "Disable" then enter, then "MarkForDelete." [I]Then,[/I] you have finally removed the object from the game. I'm sorry about that.

does anyone know where I can buy 7.62mm ammo in fallout 2? I haven't gotten through the Military base and haven't gone to San Fran yet either (the Enclave just murdered my tribe in my game, I just went back to vault 13 to get Goris and now I'm right at the entrance caves to Military Base), so pretty much the only places I can buy stuff is New Reno, Vault city and NCR.

I just wanna mow bitches down with an M60 :(

Swap to the Bozar? Higher damage, almost every merchant sells the ammo and it's dirt cheap. For the gun itself.....pray to the RNGs and hope the NCR Bazaar midget sells one?

PS: Anyone else here deliberately farm random encounters for the "Robber Cave"? First time i found it, my lvl 13 walked in with basic power armor+plasma rifle+gauss pistol, walked out (after dying 7 times) with the following:

1100 small energy cells
6 .223 pistols
4 CAWS (kindly "donated" by caravan guards outside the cave after walking by them with a gun too many times)
Had to leave a ton of loot behind (8 power fists, 3 ARs, 1 minigun).

Looks like i won't be buying car fuel ever again. Now if only i could find a pulse pistol to replace my gauss pistol.....

[Zethiwag]

Does the laser pistol normally zoom in when you shoot it or is that a mod?

Try the Emergency Gear Locker dude in Gecko, plus the raiders harassing Vault City mostly have FALs

other than that, 7.62 is incredibly rare; the dude who gives you the Hy-Mag in Vault City might also have some but you gotta be a citizen to even try and buy something from him

disable Transparency Multisampling.

Same thing applies to FO3

It's why your trees and anything that has transparency in their textures have this weird pixelated haze.

[editline]8th October 2014[/editline]

also is that TTW?

[hypno-toad]

Disabling multisample makes jaggies though

Sort of a choice between jaggy grass/leaf textures with proper depth order, or smooth grass/leaf with somewhat wonky depth order

[QUOTE=coyote93;44983068]I just answer all of you in one post. It is not an ENB. Those are to power hungry for my laptop.

First of, it is Fallout New Vegas With a Tale of Two Wastelands.
On top of that I have Vurts flora Overhaul (dead edition)
Flora--> [url]http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/19864/?tab=2&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Ffallout3%2Fajax%2Fmodfiles%2F%3Fid%3D19864&pUp=1[/url]

I use NMC's texture pack (small edition, but if you got a better GPU than me you should use the large package) On top of NMC i have the Poco Bueno Texture pack.
NMC--> [url]http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/43135/?[/url]
POCO--> [url]http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/42028/?[/url]

For the skies i have Nevada Skies TTW Edition + Dusty Distance.
Nskies--> [url]http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/35998/?tab=1&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fnewvegas%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D35998%26preview%3D&pUp=1[/url]

To use those two together you will need this patch made by some nexus guy, if you don't trust me read the comments on the dusty distance page and they have linked it there.
Patch--> [url]http://www.2shared.com/file/oSdTxCgf/NVSkies_Dusty_Distance_Patch.html[/url]

Since i dont have an ENB i use Dynavision, the imaginator and cinematech controlled by Directors chair.

Gopher has a nice guide on how to install those. Its in the video below from 14.22.

I also use this one for LOD noise.

The last thing i have is NV configator, to fine tune settings like tree-distance etc.
Configator--> [url]http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/40442/?[/url]

Here are my settings, as you see, it is possible to crank it up a bit more than what i have done.
