Fear and Loathing in New Vegas - Feedback


Recommended Posts

I like to optimize them anyway since it is easy to do when optimizing all the vanilla textures, and I can compare the (hopefully better) replacement textures with the optimized ones to see if the replacements are noticeably better.

Does anyone know how to make the GECK work through MO? Because all it's doing is the stop working error right that the start for myself. I'm trying to add the PN visor overlay to a modded Elite Riot Helmet and the GECK seems the easiest way to do it.

This is not true, use FNVEdit and follow the instructions available on the PN nexus page. I made the PN/ADAM Combined patch with it.

A relief to be able to work with FNVEdit but I can't seem to get the custom helmet to work even though I followed the guide to the letter. Very damn irritating. Trying to get a modded Elite Riot Gear Helmet but after about an hour of working with it produces not a damn thing.

Hey EssArrBee, you had a chance to take a look at: Nipton Rebuit (https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/56663/?)? I like the idea of the mod, but based on the authors on statements about a few things I dunno how I feel about it. It comes off as kinda half assed with the way its described, and the couple of reports of crashes even with it being loaded on a vanilla game doesn't help. I love the idea of being able to actually have a real impact on the Mojave though. If we could get quested stuff to "fix" and generally improve each of the major towns in some way I would be ecstatic. We already have the Schoolhouse for Goodsprings, and the New Bison Casino for Primm. If this could be whipped into shape (depending on if it needs work at all, and how much) then we would just need something for Novac and really something for the Strip/freeside.

What mod is it?

Good idea, but not sure I like the approach the author took with it. Black Mesa Research Facility? No. Pet store? Yes.

It's one I made myself. Kinda one of those cheat armors honestly, haha. I got the idea from the Prototype Riot Armor from ADAM, it's just an Elite Riot Gear & Helmet with different effects and DT/DR. I can't get the custom helmet to have a PN visor no matter what I do.

Meh, there is enough of those sorts of nods in the vanilla game that it doesn't bother me. The bigger issues for me are the "hacked" together navmeshing and tying everything to a computer screen instead of an npc.

No, it's all from scratch. All I did was use the GECK to modify the Elite Riot Gear & Helmet, no other mods were used. All the effects (The ones I want anyway.) show up along ADAM and the patch I made. I have no clue why the visor isn't being added to this one helmet.

 

Edit: I mean that when using FNVEdit the effects used are also the ones used by the ADAM/PN patch. They do they side-by-side thing.

Has anyone tried out the mod optimization page I wrote up? I need feedback on how well it works, if anything looks really crappy after optimization. I'm mostly worried about the body replacers (Type3, Roberts) and Millenia's WRP and WotNM not optimizing properly.

 

Also, does performance increase across the board? For me interiors were never a problem, but exteriors were, like the Strip, Freeside, and Novac. I got between 5-10 FPS in those areas going from 2k to 1k textures. I might even go with 512 normals to pick up a few more FPS.

Give me the plugin and I'll look at it.

I've been noticing these textures around the strip after optimizing. They may have been there before. Don't know if they're anomalies or even part of the game. Can anyone enlighten me?

Looks like the Ultraluxx bathhouse? I'll check it out tomorrow, thanks for the report. I'm sure there are few textures here and there that I missed.

Yup near the steam room. They also occur around the cocktail lounge in lucky 38 and around the bar areas in some of the casinos.
