Hey Ess,

 

Speaking of Wasteland Flora Overhaul - Dead version, I don't think the instruction to download the update is valid. The "update" is from an earlier date than the latest version of the file itself.

 

Mono supplied the latest version of the Dead file for Vurt, and speaking with Mono, he believes he incorporated the update in the file. Also, if we use the update, it overwrites the plugin, so we lose the changes that Mono made.

 

 

Also, for Fallout Character Overhaul, there is a bugfixes mod that the FCO author recommends in the sticky post on the FCO Nexus page. The FCO author doesn't have time to update FCO itself, so he recommends this mod for now.

 

FCO Bugfixes. It's an .esp replacer.

 

Besides that Bugfixes mod, there is one thing that needs to be fixed with FCO. Due to an error in the FOMOD, the animated sweat ESP doesn't have the ".esp" extension added to the name, so it currently doesn't work. If you edit the filename to add ".esp", it should work with no problems.

 

 

I can edit the wiki myself to add this stuff if you want. I don't want to add more work for you, lol. I'm just happy you're still working on the guide, and I'm getting into FNV at the right time. :-)

[Gogan]

There's also a FCO + YUP Compatibility Patch (sadly only for YUP version 10.4) and for NCR Trooper Overhaul.

 

https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/61689/?

 

I'd like to use FCO or NVR, but it looks like, they're kinda of always conflicting with other stuff.

I personally think Caesars Legion armor needs a change, who would have all that old armor back in the time of FNV? Makes no sense IMO. Do you think this mod would be good?

 

Legion Armour Redesigned

 

And is this neccessary or does PN cover this? I want my followers to be able to die.

 

Killable Companions

Killable Companions

JIPs CC&C has an option to make companions non-essential -> they can die

I noticed in the guide the YUP-PN patch is not used. Do we need to be using it?

The guide is using the "YUP-WMX-PN-PNEO Patch"

Weapons of the New Millennia:

 

Note: The Optional Store and Levelled Lists plugins will be provided by the WotNM_CaliberX 5.0 Patchs, below. - that is incorrect they are not provided by CaliberX

 

CaliberX

• Author: Earache42, Fluidfire, odin_ml, Maintainers Brigand231, WhiskeyRiver2, Roy Batty
• Version: v5.04
• Fallout 3 Equivalent: eXcalibr - ammo eXpansion pack
• Requirements: Weapons of the New Millenia
• Installation: Get the CaliberX v5.04 main file and the WotNM_CaliberX 5.0 Patches optional file - (none of these exist, which do I download?)

I am guessing the 3.18 FOMOD main and the Weapons of the New Millenia CaliberX Ver 4 Patch - WNM 1.0-1.0b?

 

and

 

• Weapons.of.the.New.Millenia.Levelled.Lists.esp
• Weapons.of.the.New.Millenia.Store.esp

do not exsist in the files, do I need to copy them from WNM and place in the CaliberX dir with the Caliber.esm? And do I also install the gunrunners and honest hearts .esp's?

Caliber doesn't exist at the moment. Roy will reupload it once Jip is updated

FYI all, Immersive Pickup Sounds has an issue with the latest Lutana, and it actually looks like most mods are going to have an issue with it according to the author's comments:

 

https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/61815/?tab=4&&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fnewvegas%2Fajax%2Fcomments%2F%3Fmod_id%3D61815%26page%3D1%26sort%3DDESC%26pid%3D0%26thread_id%3D4078490&pUp=1

 

At least as far as detection of the plugin goes.

So I just finished merging all of Yuki mods. I ran the generate bash tags script and when complete it only applied 11 of the 12 tags. I did not gen Actors.AIPackages. Do I need to manually add it? If so, how do i do that?

Thanks for the patches. I've just logged to share that Yuki's Gameplay Tweaks do not work with FCO at all (especially the companion level cap) and LOOT orders them before FCO, so the level cap is reset to vanilla - oops. Changing the load order helps, but provides the default ugly faces... And then Ragdolls screws up Rex's level cap as well.

 

Some other issues b/w Yuki's tweaks and PN/WMX means that using them all requires some xEdit tweaking.

You can add it in Wrye Bash right before you go to do a bashed patch. Highlight the plugin, right click the little box on the left for tags and add that tag.

I'll see about making a patch. I know the author of FCO so he won't have any issue with me making a patch and I doubt darth would say no either. I actually won't get around to testing that mod until tomorrow though. 

 

Why does that mod touch Rex's level? Wrye Bash doesn't combine the records?

I'll talk to mono. I didn't actually change the directions for that mod, just updated the version number. I'll check that mod out or make my own patch for it since I know the author of FCO.

 

There's also a FCO + YUP Compatibility Patch (sadly only for YUP version 10.4) and for NCR Trooper Overhaul.

I'll make an updated one. 

 

FCO and NVR work alright together if you delete part of the FCO plugin, but there are still a couple issues that pop up. I was working on a bigger patch, but the author of NVR was accused of stealing textures by the author of FCO. I don't know what came of it, but I don't think he wants FCO to have a dedicated patch.
