JUNKdeLUXE Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Starting a new install of Fear and Loathing in New Vegas due to recent troubles with Clear and Present Danger. During my install I'll list my notes, thoughts etc on the guide. Feel free to discard or use the information how you choose.there are no 17_3 (or 17.3) MAIN files. There is an old file though. The newest is 17.5 - I guess it's okay to install 17.5? Wrye Flash NVAuthor: valda and SharlikranVersion: v17.3Fallout 3 Equivalent: Wrye FlashInstallation: This program is NOT optional. Get the Wrye Flash 17_3 - Standalone Executable main file. Follow these instructions:Open up the Wrye Flash 17_3 - Standalone Executable archive from where ever it was downloaded to. Extract the entire contents to the "...\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas" folder, not the "Data" folder. Start Wrye Flash NV right now to correct an annoying setting: From the Mods tab, right click the File on the top bar and make sure Lock Times is UNTICKED. Wrye Flash NV is only going to be used for its Bashed Patch abilities to merge mods or parts of mods to increase compatibility while using many mods. Sharlikran has started developing Wrye Flash NV again, but he is only one person, so anyon e with python experience should consider lending a hand on Wrye Bash/Flash/Flash NV/Smash coding. Red emphasis mine I'm guessing this should be interpreted as install BOTH the "mopy" AND "data" folder from the zip, to the root folder of FNV? and not that I should NOT extract the "data" folder from the zip?

MonoAccipiter Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) Yes, that is a difficult sentence. Perhaps the whole "not the data folder" part can be removed? For clarity - yes, extract everything from the archive. EDIT: I've updated the version number to 17.5.

JUNKdeLUXE Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) A "problem" I've encountered when using Mod Organizer is that it (seemingly random) disables the official BSAs and ESMs. I'm guessing that these should always be enabled.. both the ESMs and BSAs?!?

JUNKdeLUXE Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 4GB Fallout New Vegas UpdatedAuthor: MonochromeWench, Hendricks266, Roy BattyVersion: v1.9Installation: Download and extract the archive into the Fallout New Vegas folder, NOT into any other folder. If the game will not start with the 4GB Loader in MO, then follow these instructions:In the Executables menu type FNV 4GB Loader into the Title text box.Next to the Binary text box, click [...], and navigate to the "...\Fallout New Vegas\" folder, select "fnv4gb.exe" and click [Open].(Optional) Only use this if the game will not start without it. In the arguments text box type in "-laaexe .\FalloutMO.exe", without quotations.Click [Add] or [Modify], then [Close].Note: Fallout New Vegas will be run through Mod Organizer using the "FNV 4GB Loader". This will auto load NVSE as well.Non-English version users of the game will have to follow different instructions, get them here. Special thanks to rootsrat for troubleshooting this issue.Fallout New Vegas only allows for 2 GB of RAM to be accessed by the FalloutNV.exe, so this will allow 4 GB of RAM to be accessed by setting the LAA flag. Warning: Some users have had issues with ENB and the 4GB Loader. The Injector version seems to work for everyone though. You can also try (without the quotes): " -exe FalloutNV.exe -laaexe .\FalloutMO.exe -SteamAppId 22380" Or if you use ENB (tip*Skyrim's ENB works best) change it to: " -exe FalloutNV.exe -laaexe .\FalloutNV4GB.exe -SteamAppId 22380" Red and green emphasis mine The zip file consists of a folder called "FNV4GB-1-9" and thus if you extract the zip file into the "Fallout New Vegas" root folder, you will not move the files inside the "FNV4GB-1-9" to the FNV root folder (as indicated it should in my green emphasis).

JUNKdeLUXE Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 New Vegas Stutter RemoverAuthor: SkyRanger-1Version: v4.1.36Fallout 3 Equivalent: Fallout Stutter RemoverRequirements: NVSEInstallation: This mod is packaged incorrectly, follow these instructions:During install right click Data and select "Set data directory".This mod has an INI file that has some options users should be aware of. Changes should made by right clicking NVSR in the left pane of MO and select the INI-Files. "NVSE/plugins/sr_New_Vegas_Stutter_Remover.ini" should be listed in the top left box, click it, and use the following to make changes accordingly:Master section (Enable/Disable NVSR functions): Red emphasis mine This is not possible (at least not in current MO version).

JUNKdeLUXE Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Heap Section (used for Heap replacement):Heap = { _comment = Heap replacement can produce MAJOR improvements in performance on Oblivion at a significant cost in stability _comment = It crashes instantly on Fallout3 last I remember checking _comment = It seems to work on Fallout: New Vegas ? _comment = Algorithms: 1=FastMM4, 2=Microsoft (slow on XP), 3=SimpleHeap1, 4=TBBMalloc, 5=ThreadHeap2, 6=ThreadHeap3, 8=tcmalloc _comment = Algorithms numbers 1, 4, and 8 require external DLL files in the Data/OBSE/Plugins/ComponentDLLs folder iHeapAlgorithm = 6 <-- Only #2, #3, #5, and #6 are the only methods supported by FNV at the moment#3, #5, and #6 require a change to iHeapMainBlockAddress in Experimental sectionFrom NVSR Readme:1: FastMM4 heap. This requires an external dll (BorlndMM.dll) to be present inData\nvse\plugins\ComponentDLLs, otherwise it will prevent the game from starting up.2: Windows standard heap. OS dependant. A really bad idea on XP, but okay on Vista and Windows 7.3: SimpleHeap1, made by me.4: TBBMM, aka TBBMalloc. Made by Intel. Fast. This requires an external dll (tbbmalloc.dll) to be present5: ThreadHeap2, made by me. Fast.6: ThreadHeap3, made by me. Fast.8: tcmalloc. Made by Google. Usually fast. This requires an external dll (libtcmalloc_minimal.dll) to bepresent.Note that heap algorithms 3, 5, and 6 are statically sized based upon the iHeapSize setting. Heap algorithms1, 2, 4, and 8 will resize themselves as needed. The fastest algorithms tend to be 6, 4, 5, and 8, but itvaries from computer to computer. bEnableProfiling = 0 iHeapSize = 450 <-- This only affects heap algorithms #3, #5, and #6, default is 450 bEnableMessages = 0 bZeroAllocations = 0} Red emphasis mine My settings came with "iHeapAlgorithm = 6" as standard. Do I need to change something in the Experimental Section?!? Currently the setting is "iHeapMainBlockAddress = 0" (also standard value). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonoAccipiter Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 A "problem" I've encountered when using Mod Organizer is that it (seemingly random) disables the official BSAs and ESMs. I'm guessing that these should always be enabled.. both the ESMs and BSAs?!? For clarification look here (right pane): https://imgur.com/a/QDRQ5Yes, enable them all. The easiest way to do it is just enable all .bsas; and when making the Bashed Patch, enable all plugins before creating it, then let Wrye Flash disable everything it suggests disabling. Afterwards re-enable the two plugins tagged nomerge (they will be in purple writing in Wrye Flash). Red and green emphasis mine The zip file consists of a folder called "FNV4GB-1-9" and thus if you extract the zip file into the "Fallout New Vegas" root folder, you will not move the files inside the "FNV4GB-1-9" to the FNV root folder (as indicated it should in my green emphasis).You are correct. I will change that immediately. Red emphasis mine This is not possible (at least not in current MO version). Either you double-click or your right-click and select "Information..."Will change this too. Red emphasis mine My settings came with "iHeapAlgorithm = 6" as standard. Do I need to change something in the Experimental Section?!? Currently the setting is "iHeapMainBlockAddress = 0" (also standard value).I believe EssArrBee intended to expand on that section, outside of my expertise I am afraid. Only try experimenting with different settings if you have performance or stability issues (e.g. frequent crashes). Otherwise it is fine to leave it at default settings.

JUNKdeLUXE Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Perfect :) so far so good. Thanks for the answers. I'll continue to list 'problems' I encounter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMCbr Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I did expended 4 days with this guide, just to make sure everything end up well. It was a bit confusing but not impossible XD Unfortunately i got an odd bug where all my guns are pointing to up-left of my screen, not to the center. So i gave up of this game for a while. Tell us about your results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonoAccipiter Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I tried helping you solve that bug, but you gave up when my first suggestion didn't work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUNKdeLUXE Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) Wasteland Flora OverhaulAuthor: vurtVersion: v2.8a for Dead and Fertile versions, v1.0 for esp-less versionFallout 3 Equivalent: Flora OverhaulInstallation: Use the Fertile and Dead versions if they are preferred, but the ESP-less version does not have any UDRs and ITMs. If using the Dead version, download the Update for the latest Dead version update file. Also, get the LOD Patches v1dot2optional file. Follow these instructions: Red emphasis mine Can we use both at the same time or is it Fertile OR Dead? Also I'm guessing I need the LOD PAtches v1dot2 optional file no matter what? (if this is the case consider rewording so it doesn't sound like it's only needed if using dead version). (ps. I know I'm making myself dumber than I should be, but small 'errors' like these can confuse those that follow the guide) Edited June 25, 2016 by JUNKdeLUXE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under mod support I also current have "NV Interiors Project Combo Ed" selected (and if it's recommended by the mod). Should I select or not select this option?!?No, the instructions are correct. The patch has already been supplied from NVInterior Rewritten (i.e. me), which you should have noticed. I'm off on holiday now, so no more support from me for a while. Will read anything you've written once I get back though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUNKdeLUXE Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 Previous problem ("ILO - NVInteriors Project.esp" wont load in Merge Plugins.) solved by running LOOT - Please disregard or add notion on using LOOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
