GUIDE Fear and Loathing in New Vegas - Feedback

[Gogan]

I spent 1 hour testing it a few weeks ago. The problem is not the script. Mesh is the problem for some reason. I got FPS drop when using both mesh and texture with or without esp (script). Texture alone has no effect on FPS even with 4K resolution. Texture alone looks great. New mesh actually adds very little visual improvement in my opinion, except you can blow the machine up.

For me it was only the .esp / script which caused the massive framedrops. Didn't notice any differences between switching textures / meshes.

But as soon as I activated the .esp it went downhill.

 

Thanks for adding this to the guide. Hope it helps others, cause it's still a very nice retex.

This could be system dependent. I found out that the mesh causing a problem when I am inside building that have a few Nuka cola machines. My FPS drop significantly when I look at the machine direction. Removing mesh folder fixed this for me. My theory is interaction between light sources and new mesh causing FPS drop. ENB calculations may play a role as well. It could be a combination of script and mesh. Nonetheless, I think using it as texture replacer only may be the most performance friendly.

Great!

 

The Mister Robot Redux NV mod has some issues with the meshes having their alphas flagged incorrectly, but it doesn't look like the author is updating it, so I'll send him a message after I come back to ask if I can upload a fixed version.

Made a minor change to the ENBoost install instructions.

If you followed your Optional instructions for the 4GB Loader, then the ENBoost instructions, ENBoost wouldn't work at all as the d3d9.dll needs to be in the same spot as the falloutnv.exe (or FalloutMO.exe in this case).

Shoot when I have the time I'll put some stuff in the work log then.

Gave it a small face lift and added a note about my absence.

 

@darkside: Since I know you're testing some of these mods, feel free to add notes like I've done. Just make a single space and write (darkside dd.mm.yyyy) or however you like putting the date, in front of the note.

Will add some comments

I've uploaded my NVInteriors - Project Nevada Patch to the Nexus.

I don't see why it would have any problems but more testing is welcome.

More Patches for the Patch God!

 

Also I tried my hand at records for xedit in skyrim and this can be very tedious

 

I probably have to be more careful with merging big plugin fusions because you get weird overrides you don't want I think unless a bashed patch has the ability to favor one change over another. I THINK I'M starting to get how this works but I don't know. does the last record always win in bashed patch?

No. The point of creating bash patch is to combine records from several plugins.

I want to install Project Ultimatum.  any thoughts on how should I proced?? https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/40593/?

Never mind the below post, you can ignore it ​

Does Transportalponder from OWB work in the Divide (LR) on the vanilla game? I don't want to feel I am cheating

Edit

Travel is also impossible from the Sierra Madre, Divide, and Zion Canyon.

Edit2
Now that I'm thinking it though you can return to Mojave while in Divide so it's not cheating.

Browsing through the commentary section of "Gas Pumps of New Vegas" I discovered a user found some misplaced pumps near Repconn HQ.

 

This is due to YUP Fixes. The mod author of gas pumps confirmed this and said he's gonna have to make a CP for this. Unfortunately this comment dated Sep. 2015.

 

Tested this myself and also can confirm this, see screenshots.

I checked a found it as well. It should be easy fix, but I am no hope with GECK.

Ok added three things to the worklist. There is other stuff I think I'll consolidate it into it's own pack
