Thiero

Re-downloaded, still nothing. The installer has some options grayed out.

I seem to be missing the Tutorial Killer - Project Nevada.esp and Tutorial Killer - Alternative Start.esp.

I installed UIO via Mod organizer and several folders seem to be located in "Overwrite". As far as I can tell they seem to be empty. As a side note, opening New Vegas through MO makes it so that ENBSeries won't start up. I don't have a reset to go with it, but it still concerns me.

Thank you! It still concerns me that I had never encountered that problem before despite doing almost everything the same though. EDIT: New problem, ENBSeries doesn't seem to work when launched from MO. I do not have a preset installed so I'm not sure if it would make much of a difference. Also I feel I should apologize, this thread has turned into the "help the stupid noob Thiero" thread.

Ill remove the mods and restart the merge. Ill try and take a bunch of screenshots.

I don't know how. I've gone through this process 3-4 times and I've never had trouble during this particular step until now. I've done everything the same so far. EDIT: There is something I did different actually, the guide calls for merging script 1.7, I used 1.75.

Tried ticking all mods, nothing. I also tried after refreshing MO, but when I right clicked I could not see an "all mods" option. Tried the same in Wyre Flash and there was still no "all mods" option. Also heres a pic of the Merged Fixes filetree:

Yes it is ticked

After merging Armor Replacer Child NPC Fix.esp, Reload Speed Game Start Fix.esp, REPCONN Test Site Fixes.esp and Safe ShowRaceMenu.esp, then creating Merged Fixes.esp, the new esp does not show up in wyre flash for the purposes of adding bashed tags.

Also, does it matter if I install the mods from archive? I have all of the mods downloaded manually, but I believe someone told me that not downloading from MO can cause problems.

I'm going through my third full clean reiinstall of New Vegas in my endeavor to install F&L, and I had a few questions about potential pitfalls I may have been falling into; 1. Are "overwrite/overwritten" flags an issue? If so, how do I fix them? 2. Should I be installing all mod files under one name? In my previous attempts I would only install mod files under one name when the guide said there would be an option of picking "merge". Should I be doing this for all mods? 3. What bsa's should be (un)ticked, and are there any bsa's that can be extracted not specified in the guide? 4. During the .ini edits, do I really paste the lines right below the corresponding area (e.g. [Display]), or do I find the individual lines and change them to the riht values (e.g. fShadowLODRange is a line farther down under [Display], do I change it's value to 200, or include it in the entire .ini edit directly under [Display]).

Reinstalled MO, and it seems to work again... hopefully will continue to do so.

What do you mean by blacklist fix?

I'm honestly at a loss as to what other details I can provide. I know that steam recently updated, but I'm not sure that would be an issue.

I am running a completely vanilla game, and whenever I try to start new vegas using MO it crashes after the first logo screen. The game does not crash when running from steam, and I can bring up the launcher using MO and change options but once I click play I go through the same issue.

I don't use NMM and MO together, I only used NMM to deactivate/reactivate archiveinval, just in case for some reason it worked and the archiveinval on fomm and MO wasn't. Simply put the only thing I did was go to the spanner and untick archive invalidation then retick it.

After searching around I found that this problem seems to be fairly common, unfortunately Every thread I looked at had a different "fix", none of which seemed to work for me. I tried deactivating/reactivating Archiveinvalidate in fomm, MO, NMM and going into the INI and none of that seemed to help. I Ticked/unticked every bsa, which resulted in no change, or resulted in the problem persisting + dozens of other issues. Now I seem to have fallout - AI!.bsa in my overwrite folder, and no idea how to progress.

I have done that several times, and I would like to clarify, it says to install Adv Recon Trap Detection, then to install nightvision patch and DLC patch and click merge. What I took that to mean is install the first file, then install the other two with the same name and click merge every time the option comes up. Is this what I should be doing? UPDATE: I just decided to go into window explorer and manually drag from the overwrite folder and it worked. Will this cause any problems as I didn't do this through the mod organiser?

Restarting the computer didn't help, the folder is still reverting to read only every time. Also I started out using v1.8 but for some reason I wasn't given any option to merge plugins to i downgraded to v1.75 and everything worked fine, up until this point that is.

It is read only, so that's probably it. But for some reason, whenever I close the window after unticking read only then apply, it reverts back to read only.

I'm still unable to progress. I'm starting to think that maybe I messed up an earlier step, or maybe I've misunderstood how something works and continually used a tool wrong.

UPDATE: After merging not all of the esps are in bold on the left side, and it says that the script terminated itself. I'm pretty sure this is supposed to happen, but just in case here's a screenshot:

I am following the fear and loathing modding guide. After the merging of the Detect Traps esps step, where you have to drag the merged file from overwrite, I get the following error: "an error occurred: invalid index 4294967295" As a side note, I seem to be getting a lot of problems in my endeavor to mod New Vegas using Fear and Loathing, are there any obvious pitfalls that I failed to avoid and am suffering for?

I removed the NVB mods, then reinstalled as separate mod names, but loot still says that NVB2 has 2 deleted Navmeshes, and mod organiser still flags that NVB2 overwrites some NVB1 files.

So when I install them I should give them different names, and ignore the "overwrite" flag?
