  1. Actually it should still work. The NVSE one I linked at least. Not sure about the one on the Nexus. Sounds like missing meshes from CaliberX if it's related to ammunition. Monsters seem like from MoMod. However, it's a .bsa, which should load automatically. Make sure that you have the really, really big main file from MoMod installed. Edit: Also make sure to have the main file from CaliberX installed as well. Seems like a pattern that you're accidentally forgetting to download or install main files when there's update files.
  2. Let's see: Put Project Nevada - WMX.esp after WeaponModsExpanded.esp Delete / Remove AWOP-AhztekWeaponPatch.esp and AWOPCFWWeaponPatch.esp. Delete / Remove either AWOPCaliberXAmmoPatch.esp or AWOPCaliberXAmmoPatchLOW.esp Try that. All of those are related to missing masters or mods that are loaded before their masters.
  3. Well, if you are using a 64-bit system and have 2GB+ of RAM, you're free to try the NVSE 4GB Loader. Could just be not enough memory being accessed that's preventing you from loading your save. That is, unless you're getting crashes when you start up the game, i.e. not being able to reach the main menu, which is another story. Edit: If you need help, I see these two .esps at the bottom: mergedpatch2.esp Mo'Guns.esp mergedpatch2.esp should probably be at the bottom and Mo'Guns with the other Mo' .esps.
  4. So, you too? Got it for a different file though: http://fs2.newvegasnexus.com/get.php?file=Project%20Nevada%20-%20DLC%20Support-42363-1-1.7z&deadlink=true&domain=newvegasnexus.com Mod's here. What makes it even odder is that the WMX Support File downloads a-okay as well. And I would be running Firefox 5.0 as well.
  5. That would be Yui from K-On.
  6. Hey, I was wondering, what Anime/Manga is your profile pic for New Vegas, if it is one?
  7. This is getting fixed in the next patch. While It isn't official source, I don't have much reason to believe that the poster is lying in any way. There's also some replies in that thread, and a continuation thread, about the fixes that are being applied.
  8. It made me wonder why the NV Nexus uses TES' "No Image" Avatar when the other Nexus have their own respective "No Avatar" Images. Was this an oversight, or something else?
  9. Use this 4GB Loader. It is compatible with NVSE.
  10. OJO BUENO has taken a stab at uploading a 500mb file on the NVNexus and it uploaded to the site so it looks like that is all it needed. In fact, I'm actually downloading it right now without an issue.
  11. Right... Sure... I'd think, and anyone who agrees with me say so, that the Survivalist could have bent it back somewhere *close* then through trial an error, ie: killing things and people, tweaked it to somewhere reasonably close. As it is it's not reasonably close. The screw used in the Caravan Rifle is closer and it's improvised. >.< I don't agree with you. I like it how it is as it provides: a) A gameplay challenge of not relying on visual cues to know where you're aiming. b) An overall unique feel to the Survivalist Rifle, regardless of which perspective you're playing the game. At the end of the day, someone may do it but, for me, it would ruin the overall feel of it.
  12. Alright, so the first update is a couple of weeks later after the topic was made... I guess I'm a bit apathetic about updating. Should really update once a week or something. At the same time though, I didn't have anything to write about until maybe a few days ago, so yeah. So let's see... how it's going to work is that the first part is just going to be episodic progress on airing animes. Afterwards, I get into paragraph-length reviews. I think I have... 3 today. Hopefully I won't mess up. Here we go: Episodic Progress: (Shorten Names for the heck of it) - A Channel, Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai, and Steins;Gate: up to Episode 7 - Ano Hana, Hidan no Aria, C:, Denpa Onno, Hoshizora, Hanasaku Iroha, Nichijou, and Ao no Exorcist: up to Episode 6 - Deadman Wonderland and Softenni: Up to Episode 5 - Beelzebub: up to Episode 16 - Gosick: up to Episode 17 --------- Reviews: Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (3 seasons of 13 episodes each - Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is the 2nd season and Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is the 3rd.) This...this anime... utterly put me into despair. I was flooding so many tears out of my eyes as I watched each episode that I may of died of dehydrating if I weren't near some kind of water source. And yes, these were tears of joy after laughing wholeheartedly. I'm a strict person when it comes to comedies in particular. This is mainly because that a good portion of my anime experience has been with animes in the comedy genre, starting out with my first anime, which was Lucky Star. Slice of Lifes and Comedies tend to go hand in hand in most, if not almost all, cases of one genre being present. They naturally seem to go hand in hand. In the case of SZS, I wouldn't say that's the case in particular. The main reason I say of this is because the whole anime is a parody. A parody of words; a parody of reading kanji; a parody of other animes. There's probably a lot more than I realize that was a parody. Heck, even the title is a parody of something once you see the first episode. What's interesting about all of the parodies is that they are, in one form or another, actually related to the anime. Most of them are related to characters you will meet, with surprisingly deadly accuracy... and I mean deadly quite literally. But you'll get to know why as you watch it. I want to go off on a semi-tangent here and talk about the animation studio, SHAFT. Now, you may thinking that animation studios and the animes they make have nothing in relation to one another, but I've really grown to love SHAFT. On most of their animes, their style of how to express adaptions, such as manga, or even their original works, Puella Magi Modoka Magica is one such case, often leaves quite a unique impact on myself and a lot of folks as far as they can tell. They excel at what they do best and that's being different. No I'm serious. This difference in approach with laying out the scenarios in episodes is something that has made me love SHAFT. Well, that and they can draw the most cutest character I have ever seen in my life, <insert SHAFT-related, perverted joke here> and did one of my favorite animes of all-freaking-time. I often have high expectations of them and their whacky productions because they success more times than not. SZS, much like other SHAFT animes, excels in their vision. This is because of their approach to express the comedy. Now, you may have seen this before, but there's often just an instance of a conversation starter that goes out of proportion and leaves to something. That's normal from what I've seen. How out of proportion it gets, however, is the point that makes me laugh. You'll come across numerous instances where you'll see 180's being directed left and right at the viewer, without warning. You may be confused, but the direction is often given enough time in-between so that the viewer is following clearly. As more and more characters are folded into the situation, the more I feel as though that it may be ended up just watching a mess of things. It actually kept it together quite well, despite interacting with nearly every character during a scenario. This is, of course, after the self-introduction scenarios in the first episodes. Those, in itself, were laugh-worthy enough. Put all of the cast together and you get one of those delicious salad bowls of goodness! Spread some sauce on top and you get what amounts to be an enjoyable experience every time. The last thing I want to talk about SZS is the seasons actually. What's interesting is that there's 3, and each as their own flare. The 1st season is primarily used as an introduction to the cast. While that may seem a bit boring, it is seamlessly tied into the scenarios that occur so it gives off a sense of natural progress. The 2nd and 3rd seasons actually give different comedic styles. The 2nd season, or as it was referred in the 3rd season, "The Experimental Episodes",, attempts to troll, yes I said troll, the SZS fanbase into something different. While I can't say that I approve of it, I will say that SHAFT has guts. Guts that I like. They created their own scenarios yet still attempted to tie in the comedic effect that SZS is known for. The 3rd season goes back to manga-related scenarios, but think of it as a breath of nostalgic air. That's all I can say really. This isn't something I can explain clearly any further, as it gets a bit more subjective, but I can assure you that you definitely have to give this comedy a shot. All three seasons get a well-earned 9/10. This is otherwise known as the bottom end of the god-tier of animes I've watched, in my opinion. ------------ Next up: Colorful Now first things first, it's not Colorful the series, alrighty? It's an entirely different thing as it's a movie, and it doesn't deal with perverted stuff. I have enough of that in my anime, though I don't like it at all. I think this, and the last thing I'm going to review, will really hit the Nexus Anime Base a bit closer, as they're more on the higher-end of the thinking scale. You know, themes and all that. So, Colorful. The first thing I want to say is that I loved this movie for basically.. well.. everything. This movie is centered around the theme, in my opinion, of finding yourself. Now, I do have to generalize society for this, so I'm saying this in advance that I apologize if any of the following offends anyone. But, have you really just looked at yourself for just a moment, a second, a frame, an instance, and wondered: "What did I do to deserve this?" There's a lot of doubt in this world but possibly the greatest doubt is who you are more than anything. Being identifiable from the rest of the world is what people strive to be yet they're scared of being too different. They often get hurt because of the standards set by society. It's a lot like what girls go through, yes I'm not a girl. You may often see them changing appearances simply because this is "in", or "they have this, why can't I?" You'll get depressed comparing you to others; it's inevitable. The thing that sets one's own value from the rest is whether or not you are true to yourself. Finding your true self is sometimes an never-ending quest as you aimlessly wander. Perhaps the closest thing you'll get to it is a guide: Someone or something to lead you down a path. More often than not though, that guide will simply be yourself as you live out your life. That's what the main character goes through during the movie. A process of change and reliance on others. As the world he sees reacts to him, he reacts back differently to each instance. From the start, he's quite literally given a "clean slate". A second chance at life. After all, he is just a soul with no memories. I like this type of character. Mainly because the viewer is given something that can't be bias in any such way, and is able to see the development of the character as the movie progresses. I can't give much more than that as well... then we go into super spoiler land and I love this movie too much to give it away. While shorter than SZS' review, I believe, like with most things but this one in particular, that you'll form a sense of either relation to the movie or drown in tears as things happen. It's something that made me quite emotion while watching for various reasons. This is pure god-tier: 9.5/10. Aren't I glad I saw this and watched it on a whim? ------------ The last thing I want to talk about in this post is: Bangaku Shoujo (Movie and all 4 OVA's) This is probably in the middle of the other two reviews. It shares commonalities with both of them yet still has its own flare. So now.. which to talk about... story, theme or characters first... I'm gonna pick... Story: The story of this starts out, oddly enough, like 90% of all romance-based animes: A destined meet between the two main characters. Now I'm going to troll all of you that are reading, and rewind this entire thing because that's the start of the movie. The OVA's are prequels to the movie so it's only fitting that I start with that first. Well that and I'm screwing the approach of story, theme, and characters setup. The prequels are designed to give a background as to the events that lead up the beginning to the movie. They consist of 3 character OVA's, and oddly enough, just a short that is fast-forwarded through in the movie. It's highly recommended that you watch the OVA's first. Now, the prequels revolve around the three heroines in the movie:Tohko Amano, Kotobuki Nanase, and Asakura Miu. What's interesting is that they aren't really separate at all. They are inter-connected as the events in the 1st OVA affect what happens in the 2nd OVA and so on. This type of OVA structure, different from just centering around one specific character, grabs my interest a lot. This is because I understand the background of the characters more and this allows for events that happen in the movie to be more detailed, robust, and less rushed. That is is one of the key faults in most movies that are adaptions of well.. anything. They often spend a good amount of time attempting to introduce the main characters and the initial event, only to rush through the rest of the events. This is coming from a good amount of experience watching these things, even a Japanese Live-Action Movie adaption succumbs to this as well. While I can understand the need for compressing events, I still think that measures taken, such as the character specific OVA's before the movie releases, can be taken to prevent such a thing from happening. It often degrades the quality and potential the movie adaptation can have. As a result of the OVAs, I found myself to understand the mindset of each of the heroines more clearly than I would without them. This made the movie itself more enjoyable. For the movie itself, I quite enjoyed it for a number of reasons. A certain weakness of mine is to always love the first female lead character that shows up. This applies to nearly every single anime I've watched, with possibly the only exception being Ayu in Kanon or Fuuko in Clannad (FUUKO!!!!! <3). In the case of Bangaku Shoujo, that would be Tohko Amano. A girl I can relate to to some extent. I mean sure, I don't eat books for a living but I'm quite interesting in how people write differently from others. It's one of things as an on-looker of the world that you naturally develop. When experienced, it often gives you a sense of enlightenment and a new dimension to your ever-expanding perspective of the world. You can tell this is her based off of the OVA. At the same time, she serves as a foil for the other heroines. Think of her as the purest heroine when watching this. You'll understand what I mean. Production I.G. is known to me as the studio that made the super-duper god-tier anime of Kimi ni Todoke, a high-school drama of sorts. I say super-duper god-tier, because it is super-duper god-tier. I'm almost certain that some of the staff from it worked on Bangaku Shoujo. Reason being is that the story draws me in quite nicely. Throughout the movie and OVAs, the progression of what occurs in each of them touches close to my heart. The scenarios bring out a variety of emotions for viewers: From joy to sorrow; laughter to mystery and everything in-between. Production I.G. balances the varying emotions really well, and does a great job to either allow a flowing progress from one emotion to the next, or allow for them to play off of one another, like in the movie a few times. You'll be in for a good ride if you decide to watch this. Now, the last thing, would be the motif of the whole thing. What occurs quite often is this statement: "One event leads to another." The OVAs are actually structured like this to reflect this statement. And throughout the movie, this is referenced numerous times. Think of it this way: What makes an author write a book the way he or she does it? A motivation or purpose. Yet, where does this purpose come from? Does it come from an emotion, an experience? What happens then reflects the writing that is present now. Tohko represents this motif as she thinks about the stories that she reads / eats and why they are so breath-taking to her. While it may seem silly to believe, once you finish the movie, you'll come to understand that things happen because of the past. When the past is changed, so is now. However, the past is meant to be just that: the past. It can't be held on for too long or you may lose what is close to you now. One of the other heroines represents this but I'm not going to say. Too many spoilers already. So in summary, this was an excellent movie like Colorful. God-tier? I wouldn't say so. I mean, it still has similarities to many other romances out there but it has a flavour of its own that I enjoy. I would say that it deserves a 8.5/10. 8.5 is what I call the "Tier of Excellence." And that's it. There's actually one more anime I can review but I'll leave it for next time.
  13. You can probably install them in any order and they'll be fine. Two notes to though: The first would be that you may want to install compatibility patches after the mods in question are installed. So something like Ambient Temperature and Courier 6 Power Armour for instance should be installed near last so any patches you want to install can also be installed at the same time. I guess it's personal preference. Also, once you install all of the mods, I highly recommend using uHUD as you have several HUD-altering mods that will overwrite an .xml that controls your main HUD. uHUD will take care of the .xml so that all of the HUD mods you installed will work together at the same time. Make sure, however, to uninstall and re-install uHUD each time you add or remove HUD-altering mods. As for load order, I suggest using BOSS. It's a quick way to get your load order sorted in a way that will avoid most potential conflicts. If there are any mods that aren't sorted, you can tell by the "unrecognized mod file" line at the bottom of the BOSS log, copy and paste the mod(s), with a download link to them, to the Bethsoft thread here so that they can be sorted within a day or so.
