* Added instructions to expand spoilers and mod table rows, as it evidently isn't obvious to people that fail to read (so this addition is likely moot)


=== Nexus Versioning ===
::* Patch Version 1.2.2 - released in January 2022. Fixes Biped slot entries on "Spice of Life" armors. Adds a mesh fix for NCR Goggles.

==What's New==
==What's New==
Version 1.0.0 of the official {{NAMESPACE}} mod-build guide was basically a love letter to the [[FalloutNV:Unofficial-EssArrBee-1.0.0|Fear and Loathing in New Vegas]] guide by EssArrBee which has been a staple in modding New Vegas for years. However, one has to realize that the guide hasn't been updated for years and many of the mods listed there are no longer up to the quality standards for a complete, crash-free experience. The current version 1.1.0 therefore deviates from the idea of succeeding "Fear and Loathing in New Vegas" in favor of following more up-to-date tendencies in New Vegas modding. The concepts followed when creating Version 1.1.0 are as follows:
Version 1.2.0 of the official STEP Fallout: New Vegas guide focuses on animations, sounds and weather and lighting effects, made possible thanks to the advancement in scripting.  
:1. Troubleshooting potential "bad" mods that can negatively impact performance:
:1. Animations: The [[{{NAMESPACE}}:KNVSE_Animation_Plugin|kNVSE]] plugin has started a revolution in combat animation; animation packs of dedcated animations for firearms, unarmed and melee weapons were added.
::* [[{{NAMESPACE}}:NCR_Trooper_Overhaul_beta|NCR Trooper Overhaul beta]] and related patches - can cause a potential crash at Camp McCarran;
:2. Weapon and explosion sounds are enhanced with mods that utilize scripts for better compatibility.
::* [[{{NAMESPACE}}:Ojo_Bueno_Nuka_Cola_Machine|Ojo Bueno Nuka Cola Machine]] had a strain on FPS due to poorly optimized textures.
:3. Various lighting fixes, better looking moon at night and dust effects in the distance.
::* [[{{NAMESPACE}}:Hall_Of_Equipment|Hall Of Equipment]] had various issues with clothing textures.
:4. Mods that "add" content reduced in favour of cut content restoration.
::* Replacing mods that edit main plugin records with mods that rely on NVSE scripts for better compatibility.
:2. Choosing fixes over added content:
::* [[{{NAMESPACE}}:Weapon_Mesh_Improvement_Mod|Weapon Mesh Improvement Mod (WMIM)]] nowadays is pretty much an essential bugfix at the level of [[{{NAMESPACE}}:Yukichigai_Unofficial_Patch_-_YUP|YUP]] and [[{{NAMESPACE}}:Unofficial_Patch_NVSE_Plus|Unofficial Patch NVSE Plus]]. Unfortunately, it is incompatible with WMX, which means that
::* [[{{NAMESPACE}}:Weapon_Mods_Expanded_-_WMX|WMX]] and all related patches had to be removed from the modlist.
::* [[{{NAMESPACE}}:Gun_Runners'_Arsenal_Merged|GRA Merged]] was brought in to replace certain aspects of WMX.
::* [[{{NAMESPACE}}:Laser_Weapon_Iron_Sights|Laser Weapon Iron Sights]] adds iron sights to all energy weapons in the game, so they will no longer look weird in comparison to "conventional" guns. It is incompatible with WMX as well and another reason to remove the latter from the modlist. It is also incompatible with most of the texture mods that affect energy weapons.
::* adding various other mods that fix aspects of the game.
:3. Improving combat animations - Basically the "Animation & Physics" section was reworked.


An in-depth changelog is listed below.

====System Setup Guide====
The [[Guide:SystemSetupGuide|System Setup Guide]] is an integral component of all Step mod-build guides and should be completed early as indicated in all mod-build guide instructions.


====Changelog Format====
====Changelog Format====
The changelog format has been modified to improve readability, group like-changes together, and include more information about changes made. We hope these updates will help to improve workflow when updating to a new version.

====Improved Guide Workflow====
The workflow of mod-build guides has been revised to both reduce page length of guide pages and to facilitate simper updating from version to version. A great deal of consideration was given to the user experience. Step's updated mod-build guides require much less off-guide navigation, because mod installation instructions now make use of collapsible elements within the 'ModGroup' tables themselves.
====New 'ModGroup' Tables====
Mod are grouped together based on standardized, logical categories called 'ModGroups' that maximize differentiation while minimizing conflicts. These ModGroups are the same across all game-specific mod-build guides. This improves mod list organization while also reducing the need to hide individual mod assets; thus, improving workflow and reducing the potential for user error from missed steps.


====Step Patches====

The main conflict resolution patch is required for the intended mod build to function properly. Mods on which the CR patch depends are indicated by a vertical {{Fc|green|green bar}} to the left of the mod name in ModGroup tables.

< All FalloutNV changelogs | FalloutNV:1.2.0 Guide

NOTE

Changes to the live guide can occur at any time between releases (see page footer for last edited timestamp), so review this changelog to see what may have changed since your 1.2.0 build date.

Post-Release Changes

  • Added instructions to expand spoilers and mod table rows, as it evidently isn't obvious to people that fail to read (so this addition is likely moot)

Nexus Versioning

  • Patch Version 1.2.2 - released in January 2022. Fixes Biped slot entries on "Spice of Life" armors. Adds a mesh fix for NCR Goggles.
  • Patch Version 1.2.1 - released in January 2022. Fixes visual gliches on Brahmin corpses.

Those that have installed the mods flagged as "Dropped/Replaced" and have started their playthrough should skip these changes.

What's New

Version 1.2.0 of the official STEP Fallout: New Vegas guide focuses on animations, sounds and weather and lighting effects, made possible thanks to the advancement in scripting.

1. Animations: The kNVSE plugin has started a revolution in combat animation; animation packs of dedcated animations for firearms, unarmed and melee weapons were added.
2. Weapon and explosion sounds are enhanced with mods that utilize scripts for better compatibility.
3. Various lighting fixes, better looking moon at night and dust effects in the distance.
4. Mods that "add" content reduced in favour of cut content restoration.

An in-depth changelog is listed below.

Changelog Format

The changelog format has been modified to improve readability, group like-changes together, and include more information about changes made. We hope these updates will help to improve workflow when updating to a new version.

Step Patches

Also see the forum topic.

Step Patch - Conflict Resolution The main conflict resolution patch is required for the intended mod build to function properly. Mods on which the CR patch depends are indicated by a vertical green bar to the left of the mod name in ModGroup tables.


Guide-Level Changes

Added section on cleaning vanilla ESMs and Re-compressing vanilla assets.

Mod-Level Changes

Added | new mod added (add these mods)

01-Tools

Added

02-Extenders

Dropped / Replaced
Moved
  • KNVSE Animation Plugin - moved to 03-Resources. It's a stepping ground for animation mods, but does not provide any essential engine-level stability fixes.

03-Resources

Added
Dropped / Replaced
Moved
In the last days of v1.1.0, all of the following moved to 02 - Extenders. Re-posting here for those that haven't noticed. All are stability fixes that extend the game's functionality.

04-Foundation

Added
Moved
  • Asterra's Many Fixes: technically moved here from 09 - Fixes late during v. 1.1.0 of the guide, but in case it wasn't noticed. It's fine for this to be overwritten.
  • Improved_Sound_FX_v0821: moved here from 07-Sounds and Music

Updated | mod instructions updated

Dropped / Replaced
  • Project Nevada: it was a great mod for its time, but is too outdated. There are better mods out there that do the same thing.

05-Animation and Physics

Added
A lot of dedicated weapon animations:
Moved

Long time time ago this section was called "Animation and Effects". Since the "effects part was dropped off, none of these mods belong here:

Dropped / Replaced
  • 360 Movement: it is a bit too much for the engine to handle. Requires heavy patching to work with animation mods and at present, does not support all possible locomotion animations. There's no first person support for some of the animations. Other animations work only for a specific gender. It's easier to simply drop it for now.

06-Models and Textures

Added
Dropped / Replaced
Moved
  • WTH - Weapon Textures from Heaven - moved to the bottom of the section as the textures it provides look better than the ones from Simplified Weapon Retexture Project (i.e. it should overwrite the other mod).

07-Sounds and Music

Added
Moved
Dropped / Replaced
