/fog/ - Fallout General

Modded New Vegas is the best Fallout game ever made by a long shot.

The game is so fucking comfy, I can't even imagine how much better it would be with a great ENB.

I'm finishing with testing my mod setup, I resolved the issues I had with Type 3 and T6M mods, added a patch for Spice of Life to bring it up to speed with JSawyer Ultimate. I'm pretty sure it's almost ready, just some more hours of testing. I'm thinking the VATS Alternative mod will go away from the setup, I'm simply using Project Nevada's and it feels more "natural" somehow.

My modlist: pastebin.com/wHAqudYs

Why aren't you using the Ultimate version of Interior Lighting Overhaul? I'll need to know that before I can help you with the rest of your list.

They're all still in the early stages of development, expecting no bugs is ridiculous.

i dont know, should i be? i followed this guide: wiki.step-project.com/User:EssArrBee/FalloutNewVegas

and then added my own mods. im not new to modding new vegas, just havent done it in 2-3 years, thats why i followed it.

Rate the DLC for fallout 4
Which are worth getting and which are shit

None of them are great.

Still worth pirating the actual content ones, Nuka World and Far Harbor though.

im not expecting no bugs i just want to know which one is a little more stable or more functional.

Piper is a good lass and my friend! Worst thread!

To play on Survival, or not to play on Survival, I know the game gets somewhat challenging at the earlier levels, but at the later levels it becomes a joke. So ride the joke train to 50, or just lower the setting?

Gentlemen,

I recently finished Fallout 1 and 2 for the first time, (incidentally, how bad was Fo2's ending? lol) what are some simple mods you would recommend for Fallout: new vegas? bugfixes, cut content, visual stuff etc.

The problem is that I can't tell you what to merge without knowing if you have made your own merged patch.

This is what I did with my current installation, I'm this fellow I installed all of my mods. Then I used FNVEdit's "Apply Filter to Show Conflict Losers". That shows me which mods .esms and .esps are being overwritten by other mods. Then I manually checked each conflict, and decided what to do. If I needed to solve it (one mod's changes conflict with another mod's changes), I copied the records into a new .esp, and merged the changes the mods made into one single .esp.

My Merged Patch contains ALL conflict solutions. If I were to uninstall a vital mod, I would have to redo my merged patch from scratch. But I won't uninstall any vital mod, I'm sure of what I'm playing with, and by having one single mod I minimize "patches".

You, on the other hand, rely on patches made by other authors. These are fine if the conflict is way too complex to solve by yourself (like there are many scripts or something that conflict). But I would suggest that you look at what each patch does, and if it is basic entry solving then you could merge them all into one new patch, or better yet, make your own patch for your entire installation.

What I suggest is that you:

- Reinstall Interior Lighting Overhaul. You should use the option that is base game and all DLCs. That saves you 4 plugins.
- Reinstall Project Nevada. Like ILO, there's an option for base game + DLCs. That saves you 4 plugins, if not 5 (Gun Runner's Arsenal).
- I don't know what IWS is, but I suppose it also has an option for "base game + DLCs".

It is much easier to do all of this when you are installing one by one, checking what to do as you install mods, as opposed to doing it all in one sitting after you finished installing the entire modlist.

Mine was easy to patch: I don't use any outlandish mods, just some rebalance mods and so on, so I didn't have much to patch.

REMOVE

okay, got it. i have not made a merged patch, i'll look into that once ive changed the number of plugins with those suggestions.

Why does this remind me of that one South Park episode with the three stooges parody where three murderers resurrected from hell come back to earth to cook a giant cake?

Don't know lad, never seen the episode.

Just play it vanilla. seriously

Do you happen to be using LOOT? Everyone and their mother uses it, but I don't. I find it scrambles the load order waaaay to much, and I'd rather just make my own patch and keep my installation tidy so I can tell at a glance when something is off.

yeah, i did. i find its pretty good for making a base starting load order and then i change it at will

>intro cutscene has a bottle of Nuka-Cola in the 1940s
>Nuka-Cola wasn't invented until 2044
hmm

I want guro fags to leave.

No

I want tacticool dykes to leave but it seems thats not going to happen.

Fucking wrecked

So how did sinclar managed to unlock the secrets of molecular manipulation with his vending machines?

Far Harbor. A great setting and story mired by Fo4's system. Probably the only "must have" DLC.

Nuka World. Good shooty stuff but no real story except "I'm raider. Fear me."

Automatron and Vault Workshop. The only "good" workshop DLCs.

The workshop DLCs. These should have been free FFS.

>when your waifu turns against you

so how do i get started with FO4 modding? cant believe theres nothing in the OP about this except for settlement mods which is incredibly outdated. i was modding i back around release up until about 3-4 months after release and have forgot the process. is Mod Organizer the best for it like it is with New Vegas? is there a fear and loathing styled guide for FO4?

I think NMM is still the best to go with FAllout 4 modding.

You mean big MT?
Science

Fuck Swanick, few things are more annoying than his voice acting. Especially the completely out of nowhere "bye" at the end.

>that one faggot that has to samefag himself because no one else supports his opinion

I pity you.

How do i make fallout 4 run good instead of bad?

>Choose a dialogue option that sounds like it's just asking a question and won't advance the dialogue
>It advances the dialogue

Have you tried doing a ritualistic sacrifice?

This triggers the absolute fuck out of me too.
How did they think that shit was okay.

Mod organizer doesn't work with 64 shit so we're all stuck with NMM

Now i understand
You are hiding because you fear death

>accusing other people of samefagging

for what purpose

this would be pretty good if it wasn't bad

My black male isolation area is coming along nicely. Separate from the rest of the population, but still able to contribute and do good for themselves and the vault.

>automtatron adds robot arms as weapons
>no sentry bot minigun/gl
>no protectron shock hand power fist
>no robobrain mesmertron head

[screeching about vaults]

who got a torrent for the fo4 dlc esm files?

What's so bad about vault tech?

God the Railroad are so fucking stupid it causes me physical pain.

>you can do expirements
>but nothing thats disturbiing, just some fag on an exercise bike and drink stand
>can't connect the vault interiors because of clipping and shitty interior layout
>cannot see any fucking thing becasue the only thing worth than bethesda writing is their ability to code lighting

LoversLab will save that DLC.

Someone told me on Discord that Buff was in Creation Club. Is this true?

Nope.

Trainwiz is though (somehow).

So it's like fallout shelter except somehow worse despite it should be better

Name something about F4 that isn't stupid ...
I'll wait.

If it is I'm emailing Bethesda all the furry and shota porn he's ever made. What's the best way to do that without sounding like a creep?

nope its just bullshit coming from the Summer shitposters

trainwiz is and His creations for TES are now canon in ESO: Morrowind, and he and some people are in.

Catch 22

>What's the best way to do that without sounding like a creep?

An impossibility without impersonating him asking for advice.

What makes you think that Bethesda will care ?
Its not like being fury or pedo is a stigma in modern US.

>Its not like being fury or pedo is a stigma in modern US.
How far gone are you?

I liked Witcher's system where stuff like that was highlighted

Spend less time online. lmao

Im neither pedo nor furry and not even from US but have you seen the shit SJW pull these days there ?

Oh, you're just thick as shit then. That's fine too.

The Full Dialogue mod (if thats what its even called anymore) pretty much gets rid of the need for that to be highlighted due to the full dialogue being layed out.

As I said, spend less time online.

Good thing you're from some socialist fag country, you would starve in the US with that little intelligence.

>tfw you will never be that naive

Ahh to be a kid again..

I'm not in

I don't really want in either. You only get a one time payment, don't even get a percentage of the sales. If it was sale percentage I would be a little more interested because I've seen people make like fucking $100,000 from similar contests, but it sounds like a hassle, and the pay is probably about on par with minimum wage once you divide the amount you get paid by how long the mod takes to get made.

since creation club also compasses the entire zenimax companies, Thus he have any freedom to create content to Skyrim and Fo4

How long it would take to id recreate HeXen in Skyrim?

atleast the heresiarch cathedral

>youtube.com/watch?v=yrvQFM1NxWM

Or Heretic 2 since Alduin and Corvus Shares the Same VA

>youtube.com/watch?v=CdQj1Cmi3-s

Are you ok user?

Damn buff when did you get so logistical?

>don't even get a percentage of the sales.

What did you expect, you're a contractor. Do you think even employees get a percentage of Skyrim's sales?

>tfw tried to explain to people from the beginning that this was just going to be barely paid outsourcing
>'Nuh-uh, it's like a partnership that will only make high-quality DLCs!'
Makes me fucking sick to think those people influence the market.

Wow I expect many great Mod authors to eagerly join creation club from the sound of that think of all the shitty outfits and weapons

That mod doesn't help with that. I'm using it and still have this problem with dialogue.

It'd be nice if there was a way to highlight dialogue that advances the conversation. Or, you know, just not have a shitty dialogue wheel and voiced protagonist.

>remaking anything on that god awful engine
how about you just play hexen

Nah but they at least get salaries

I just remembered the Polycount contest (TF2 event in 2010) where someone made $100,000 from a few weeks worth of modeling and texturing. Integrity be damned, that's some heavy temptation considering how little work it was.

>tells Americans about their country
>he's never even been there, he gets all his info from ex-reddit Nazi LARPers

>You only get a one time payment, don't even get a percentage of the sales.

Holy shit hahahaha. Bethesda is the most scumbag company of all times, I was always thinking modders would get a percentage.

>nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/24809/?
This was way fucking harder than it should've been. AND I STILL COULDN'T FIX THE DAMN MAP MARKER.

Pretty sure all the people actually in the CC are already working in the tech industry or are NEETs though.

There are curtains in this game? Are those vanilla?

>Pretty sure all the people actually in the CC are already working in the tech industry
So goes the delusion.
>or are NEETs though.
Much more accurate. Suckers by any other name.

>I'm using it and still have this problem with dialogue
I mean it's pretty obvious when the lines end in "let's go" that it's going to move the quest along.
I legitimately thought there was already a mod that did the highlighting too though. Might have been mistaken or something because it doesn't seem like that much work on top of the full dialogue system.

Aren't all Valve games pretty much the outliers when it comes to 'modding' due to how they've created those economies? I can't think of any other company that actually allows players to make money from some modelling directly (well except now with bethesda and their half-assed creation club).

Royalty based contract work is rare in the game industry. The only time I ever saw it used is situations where there's no actual money for the company to pay people with.
Either way, it's middle of the road pay, but the amount of hours put into this isn't full time anyway. Still enough to put me over six figures combined but hey.

OH IM SORRY FATHER

seems this emotional reunion has gotten in the way of you smashing one of your scientists. i'll wait, don't worry.

>he gets all his info from ex-reddit Nazi LARPers

Are you refering to the top influential leftist sites and magazines now ?
Because they the one publishing and pushing that shit...

How about some actual original IP ?
I so fucking sick of reboots, rematers and remakes...

CREATE MOTHERFUCKERS !

This image makes so glad Bethesda decided to finally go with PBR.
Maybe for the next TES the metals might actually look like metal for once.

Nah, you make a mod you were going to make anyway. When you're 95% done, you contact Bethesda with your 'mod idea.' If they turn it down, you publish the mod anyway, then mock Pete Hines on twitter after you get a thousand DL.

If they like the idea, you hit all the development goals in record time and get more time to spend on polish and bugfixing with their QA guy.

Don't do it for gibs, just try and sell shit you already made for free.

currently using it user. good work. have to use place everywhere though because some of the floor collision doesn't seem to work for me when placing items. still a neat place to set up shop though.

sure wish i could fast travel in and out though
