GUIDE Fear and Loathing in New Vegas - Feedback
EssArrBee replied to EssArrBee's topic in Fear & Loathing in New Vegas
Okay, GRARG and Right to Bear Arms are nice additions. Now the GRs are a bit more badass, as they should be. I am going with the LITE store from WotNM, as I already said, so that will not conflict. WotNM now will have the same type of issue that WRP has where you have to install an extra mod, PB-6P9, on top because of bad textures/meshes. I was hoping that I could avoid this since they might issue an update, but Naky might have RL issues. Anyways, all that stuff is getting updated in just a bit. -

Tick all the BSAs in the Archive tab. Do not tick the HRDLC ESPs in the plugins tab. -
No don't get it. I'd wait till it's a flash say and probably save an extra 10%. Again wait for a flash sale. And probably don't DA2 unless you enjoy disappointment.

SSME or the memory patch suffice. You can't use both since they do the same thing. One uses the SKSE DLL to load and the other uses an alternate Direct3D DLL to load. I don't think you setup the SKSE one correctly if I remember correctly. EDIT: AHHH, ninja'd again.... -

Looks like the WotNM and Gunrunners Actually Run Guns compatibility problems are solved by using the lite version of the store. One one simple conflict solved by putting the store plugin after GRARG.esp. The author gave permission to release patches, so I'm going to do that soon for users of the main store. Hopefully it doesn't break anything. The lite version of the store just adds a second vendortron to the GR's kiosk, so it shouldn't have any problems with GRARG. The other store may be tricky since it involves It could mess up some of the GRARG quests if that happens so hopefully I can fix the issue. EIDT: Okay, maybe I can't make a patch for the main store because the plugin is pretty messy, lots of deletions, EVEN A NAV MESH DELETION!!!! Who does that? I might have to remove lots of the GR's HQ changes from GRARG and use only the WotNM stuff. It's just to messy otherwise. -
ACCEPTED Improved Close Faced Helmets (by navida1)

Are you using custom hairs or vanilla? I believe that you can't get it to work with custom hairs, but some vanilla hairs will show. Also, there are wigs for under the helmet on the appachi hairs page. -
I just added funds to my Steam Wallet using a new credit card and now I can't use the market place to sell the stupid cards I earned for buying stuff until the 26th. WTF Valve?? Amex isn't good enough for you?

I'm not against scifi stuff usually but I just generally am against any MMO. It's a terrible genre that is responsible for a direction in games that is poisonous to the entire industry. The nickel and diming that is going on with micro transactions, free-to-play, and a move away from single player gaming came from MMOs and I just abstain from them on principle more than a lack of interest. PC gaming may be the best, but it is also the worst. -
If you are thinking about playing Witcher 3 then you can pre order and get Witcher 1 & 2 for free. You really don't own any bioshock games? O.o

Bioshock triple pack for $15 and the Biosock infinite season pass for $12. That triple pack is a deal if you don't own the Bioshock games, like some kind of weirdo, but the season pass could probably be a bit lower. Maybe wait for it on a flash sale. The Far Cry complete pack is also $15 bucks and that is a whole lotta game for so little. If you own some of those games then they are all 75% off, and I recommend Blood Dragon, only $3.75, for a really good time. Has anyone placed the XCOM: Enemy Within expansion? I really like the original game and the expansion is only $10 bucks right now, so I'm wondering if I should pull the trigger on that. If you don't own XCOM, then maybe check on the complete pack they have for $16.74 and don't get the XCOM + The Bureau pack. The Bureau is crap.

I'm partial to the Port finish from Glenmorangie myself, but I'm not all that picky about whiskey unless it's Canadian whiskey because that stuff is too sweet. Texas now has lots of small batch distillers popping up doing some very nice stuff. They make hand numbered bottles for each batch too. One bright spot of living in a place that is as hot as the face of the Sun during summer. I still can't figure out the invisible mantis problem I have at vault 22. Tales of the burning sands adds the mantises, so I have no clue why they are invisible. Maybe it's because I basically just went straight there without doing any quests. I tried starting the Vault 22 quest, but that didn't work, so I have no clue. Also, I've been looking into the bsa issue and apparently there might be a string issue where only 255 characters were allowed for all the BSAs loaded by Gamebryo. I thought Nitpick fixed that and MO incorporated it, but maybe only for Skyrim. That might be something to look into. So, now there is a problem with to many BSAs, and there is a problem with to many loose files, and a problem with to many plugins. Anything else broken Bethesda? Once this round of mods is added that I'm currently looking at, I will be focusing on a few other things for the guide that is not just mods. I'm going to finish putting for optimizing textures, and then conflicts. I'll probably do a separate page for optimization to not make the guide super duper long as it is already getting quite long. Also, I may do a supplemental guide where users can make a copy of their profile and insert Project Brazil. I don't see that mod being done anytime soon, but it will be an easy endeavor so I can get an idea about what I'd be getting myself into with TTW. One other thing, I often say these things I'm going to do and then completely do the opposite, so grain of salt. -
So the Summer Sale has started on Steam. XCOM, Far Cry 3, Witcher 2, Hotline Miami are the ones that jumped out at me. I own all those games though so I'm waiting for something special. EDIT: AHHH, ninja'd!!

Staff members don't have reps, but we do accept payment in the form ethanol, usually somewhere between 5-50% purity. I prefer the Kentucky made variety, but I've been known to partake in the Irish or Scottish types as well. Okay, so I finally found a gas leak. The Mr Handy's actually use the same effect and they look pretty badass, so that mod is in. I found some invisible critters in Vault 22 that I need to look into before that mod is added, but otherwise I love what macintroll did with the place. Hope he finishes the Wasteland Clothing mod now. I'll add Potable Campsite and Better Gas Leak right now, both can be added without any issues to current playthroughs. -

Don't worry. I have a very good system for updating with only a bit of extra work, no reinstall of the whole thing. -
I think there may be a cap on the number of BSAs that can be loaded with MO for F3/FNV. I don't know if that is by design, but I can't load more than 31 or 32 BSAs. The EXE starts up and then closes 10 seconds later. This is something that I've had an issue with for a while and just thought it was another problem, but I finally figured out that something is limiting the amount of BSAs I can load with Gamebryo. Not sure if it is MO or something else either. I haven't seen this type of issue with Wrye Flash and I'm sure I had tons of BSAs since so many FNV authors use them, but only FOMM unpacks them by default.

I went to Vault 22 without starting the quest to just test it out and no gas down there without the quest. I do really, really like Vault 22. I'm definitely going to add that baby to the guide. Maybe tonight if time permits. Well, if anyone wants to test something for me, try to load through MO with 31 BSAs active then go up to 32, then 33.... and see if MO fails to load. My game will not load with ~31 or 32 BSAs. Verification of that limit will help me report a real issue with MO and FNV to Tannin. That is my limit, it's not plugins active or otherwise in my data folder as I thought originally, which is a godsend for me going forward because I can just extract a few BSAs that aren't important and keep the ones packed that need it like Willow. This also will open up the testing of Advanced Recon Series mods which I really wanted in the game, but had no clue why they didn't load. I'll be able to do it now. Problems I will have if this is limit cannot be removed, no optimized texture BSAs like I had planned. They will have to remain loose which means saving about 2Gb of space is not going to happen. Tough titties I guess. I will have to instruct users which BSAs to extract and which to keep since some need to stay packed and I only know two of those so far. Anyways, I'm going to add in a few more mods this week and actually finish up an initial page for vanilla optimization. I might also go over how to the major texture packs for users trying to improve performance by lowering all exteriors to 1k. Vault 22 - probably added tonightBetter Gas Leak Effect - probably tonight (I will find a gas leak next time I ifre up the game)Portable Campsite - You may find a bedroll in Vault 22 anyways so I'll add this tonightUpcoming testing: The Right to Bear ArmsNew Vegas Uncut - If anyone wants to torture test F&L with the Freeside Open mod and see if it doesn't kill framerate, go for it.Gun Runners Actually Run GunsDracomies Improved Textures 1-4 - from NV Redesigned 2Advanced Recon Series - no link, if you don't how to find Gopher's mods, this is the wrong game for you anyways. :hurr: -

That looks correct for 2.2.8. You may want to tick the DLC BSAs as well. The latest MO beta that is in testing will address an issue with the load and install order of loose and BSA files, so be aware that for 2.2.9 we are going to change up the very beginning of the installation. It isn't anything you can fix with the current version of MO, it isn't game breaking in its current form, and it will NOT require a fresh install when that update occurs. Basically, you'll just have to shift around some of those mods on the left side which is simply drag and drop. A little heads up about what's coming, but so far everything you have done is correct. EDIT: You may want to install SSME or install the SKSE alpha version to use the famous Skyrim memory patch. -

I think it was the rest of that pack that made me leave it out. I imagine I should look through drag's stuff and add some of his compilation stuff. I may have to look at that mod, but I don't want the character redesigns. I think Drumber did a better job that anyone else has with character redesigns. If he did a full on F3 version with unique textures for a bunch of f3 characters that would really get me to do a TTW version of F&L, since I seem to get PM's here, the nexus, and reddit about once a week to do one. EDIT: Does anyone know where to find a gas leak really fast, to test? -

I remember you were trying to kram every mod on the nexus into your game with the merge script and Gamebryo just laughed at you before exploding. I'm not near the plugin limit of 140 though. I extracted the vault 22 BSA and the game loaded up fine. I'm guessing there is something going on in the way some BSAs are packed and that is my problem. MO has something setup in the way it loads BSAs and I'm not seeing what it is ATM. Either that or it is a combo of BSAs and plugin limits. I'm going to add back the Advanced Recon series and extract it's BSAs to see if they work. -

I think I need to address something that has been severely lacking for a while now, the cut content. I guess I filed that away in my brain a long time ago and didn't think about it till now. There are nine of them so I'll get on that now, since I seem to have an issue with the way BSAs load or the way my game handles plugins. I think there is an artificial cap placed on my game of either 126+ plugins total or 106+ active plugins. I don't get it, but it has happened on occasion that I just can't get over that limit. Right I tried to load up Vault 22 flora overhaul, and the EXE just starts up and then ten seconds later closes itself. I remove the mod and the game fires right up. Difference between 125 total/105 active plugins and 126 total/106 active plugins. I just don't understand it. At least with the cut content I can introduce the merged plugin or share one I make myself. I'll have to write a page that explains how to use it with ADAM, Cut content series, and maybe FCO or Tutorial Killer. -

Well, I wouldn't go to the complete requiem extent to delevel stuff. I would mostly make higher level guns much more rare in the leveled lists. Like it something had a 25% chance to spawn at level 20, I would make it 10%. Some other guns would be hand placed in certain characters that didn't have special weapons already and then I'd remove the weapon leveled list from them. With Skyrim it doesn't work well because the Bashed Patch doesn't let you combine enough stuff, but for Fallout it is very far along in development. If the campsite falls through the floor I can't help that, it is a vanilla bug. I often get Violet to fall through the ground for some reason if I don't kill hem up on the top of her campers. You can always go buy another one since 6 vendors have them and they are only ~100 caps. Oh cool. I'll double check that and make sure since I like the glowing effect of the ghouls and reavers. -

A while back I was going to add a mod called portable tent or something and someone tested it with a few problems, so I think I'm going with Portable Campsite. Same author as WMX, so it's good. very easy to use once you realize that you have to move the stuff around a bit on your own and pick it up by crouching. Also, someone mentioned Glowing Ghouls, hellianos I think, a while back and I like it. At night the ghouls are lit up really nicely in the wasteland. Also, I've forgotten about Vault 22 Flora Overhaul and that is something I need to rectify. I may have some arbitrary cap on my plugins for some reason. If I have 126+ plugins total or 106+ active I cannot start the game. I'm not sure why, but it is super F*#$^*@^$ annoying. When I figure that out, I'm sure I can get a bunch more cool mods into the mix. There has to be some small thing I keep overlooking that is messing up everything. -

Finally getting around to this issue with WRP. I see now in the readme for WMX that I need a couple extra files. Always thought the 357 looked off. Either way, should be updated soon.
