GUIDE Fear and Loathing in New Vegas - Feedback

[ZidanReign]

Ah, that's me. I also redid the normal maps, as they were colored incorrectly and made the trees shine a bright yellow color in low light. 

Double Nice.  Thanks for this man.  

 

How many times have I rerun LODGen today lol

​2 times bought here, two retail, normal and ultimate :P

[ZidanReign]

Ok.  So I used Skadi's normal maps fix with the one I posted and the bushes showed another bush but blurry even up close.  

Hiding the file fix I did before and it went back to normal, so for the record if you have a flat, grey texture appearing on your LOD's Output on certain bushes, refer to Skadi's post and either create a new mod folder or merge it with the original LOD Resources for Vurt's Mod and run FNVLODGen.

I spoke too soon.  It was just my LOD not loading right... Oops.  

 

I wish I could delete my previous post.

 

One last time: Refer to the posts here for fixing the flat/grey texture bug appearing on Bush LOD's and for Skadi's fixes for Normal Maps.

 

 

 

Fixed!  In case anyone gets the same problem as me, here's the comment about LOD Resources for Vurts.

Can I add this file to the guide? 

[Himself]

Yeah, the great thing about a wiki is that it can just link to other stuff in the wiki. You don't need permission.

 

I would feel morally wrong if I didn't asked, after all you worked so much in the guide.

Thanks again for it!!

[Skadi]

Can I add this file to the guide? 

Sure, no problem. Feel free to use the other things I posted here a few pages back if they seem useful as well. I think people have been looking for a pipboy light color / Roberts patch, and I made it specifically for people using this guide, with all colors included.

I just updated the original link, and leaving it here, with the bush fix included. I'm going to try and contact the author to have him use these or upload them myself. 

 

Also, to be more specific about my last post, here's the Pipboy Colours Robert's fix on Nexus. It has a fomod installer for all of the colors for Pipboy Light Colours included. I see that you're basically retiring EssArrBee, so I don't mind either way. I do want to say that this is a wonderful guide, it's made my playtime with NV fantastic and kudos to you and Mono.

Thanks for that file. I'll look the Pipboy file over. I am retiring from actively testing new mods and all that, but tweaking stuff and adding fixes to make the guide more stable is just general maintenance, so I'll still be around for that stuff since it won't take up all my time.

Anyone used that NV Uncut mod that's on Github by the TTW authors? Looks to be pretty comprehensive, but hasn't had any attention in a year.

[Genius384]

Yes, I use it and it is pretty good and well done. It has pretty much all the cut content from the F&L guide, and also has Freeside Open and The Strip Open integrated, which is great.

Also is there a version of Flash out there that works with Unofficial Patch?

No, just disable it when you run the patcher. It won't overwrite too much stuff. Eventually I'll have enough Mator Smash knowledge to help everyone use it correctly with Skyrim/FNV

[Skadi]

The file I've added for LOD resources is no longer needed. It looks like I'm doing updates for the mod for the foreseeable future, and I've updated the mod with the fixes. I'll be working on support for the dead version as well.

Holy crap you work fast man.

Also I've found the Unofficial Patch bug is fixed by using Bash 307, which does have New Vegas support, you just have to install over top of version 17.5.  I kept getting "Access Violation" errors when trying to actually make a Smashed patch.

 

edit2: I've gotten a pretty good, lean load order put together thus far:

Not going with WMX/Project Nevada or anything this go, just JSawyer Ultimate and some tweak mods and a bunch of retextures.  Game is very stable compared to my traditional Project Nevada load orders - PN is a FPS hog, which sucks because it does offer some good QoL.  I've read that it is due to the hitscan code.  I tried Grenade Hotkey but was disappointed to find it added stuff like Nuka Grenades, etc. outside the scope of just being a Grenade Hotkey mod.
