Eh, just drop in an IMOD that makes the gun full auto and voila it's suddenly actually usable. IIRC assault carbine is 5mm and not 5.56 so it'll be a nice full auto gun in another crappy and abundant ammo type you're happy to splurge. Won't increase raw damage but will certainly increase the pathetic DPS. If you wanna be extra wild and wicked about it, balance the gun's health (condition) so it's just hardy enough to be reliable as a semi, but will absolutely break too soon in full auto.

As for this, only realistic way i know to make a gun "shoot harder" is a longer barrel, maybe a modification to the receiver that seals up the escaping gasses a bit better, so a receiver modernization or receiver upgrade. Some people might think of better rifling, but that will only make your accuracy better, and maybe even degrade damage if it's too deep of a cut or too steep of a turn. Oh hey, and i just checked, even you voted for the cowboy repeater! Yea the svc rifle doesn't deserve any hate but doesn't deserve any love either, it's just an utilitarian little boomstick that shoots cheap ammo and kills absolutely nothing that's too scary. Kinda good for armored weak little humans with that AP ammo i guess, but sucks for everything else. It looks really good with the recent KNVSE reanimations though, and i dropped one in that makes it fire quite a bit faster so now it's actually kinda useful.

Eh, the DT bonus ain't all that good when you consider AP ammo reduces the already comically low damage the Svc rifle gives even more. Grabbing a trail carbine early on is definitely pretty good, been playing all those years and didn't know you could find one guaranteed in andy's house, mostly because by the point i got to novac i wasn't really looking for guns anymore and my low karma thief runs are pretty rare. Might run low on that 44 ammo for the carbine though, i know for sure it ain't that common, up until you can buy guns from the khans though, idk why but their vendor always had the highest amount of ammo for me.

Don't even need to look at the stats, used that damn cowboy repeater and also the service rifle for specific characters for years now, and the cowboy repeater is almost always the better choice, especially if you haven't patched out the instant reload glitch out of your game yet and have no qualms in using it. You can also just re-equip the gun to cheese the long reload unless you intentionally tweaked that out of your game. Getting ammo for it is better and i vaguely remember having better ammo variants, hits harder, fires about as fast since the service rifle is hella slow even when your character is a guns 100 agility 10 jerry miculek type guy, peep sight is lame but you can either git gud or mod it away instantly, or even better, just fire it third person and worry about absolutely nothing. When the modding hits deep then who knows, but usually the service rifle gets better since some mods redistribute loot so 556 is more common, and you can also make regular 556 out of surplus rounds with some mods, which are plentiful, and animation mods makes your character actually fire it faster than maybe even the assault carbine fires if you're good with your clicky finger. Only time when the service rifle felt either equal or better was when i made a low guns high luck kind of character that critted a whole lot but sucked at actually hitting targets, so here, if you suck or your character suck at hitting stuff, maybe reach for that rifle, cause with the slow reload on that cowb repeater, ya gotta make the hits count... in a game with really archaic gunplay at that.

finally an actual solid response that isn't trying to brand me as something for liking certain user created content in a sp fictional game or adding nothing to the topic, thanks. I mean yeah I'm ultimately fine that nexus made this choice its their platform, I think they could of been more direct to the community with the changes because it's such a large change and has some uncertainty to it but what ever. and I'm not sure on what is deemed not ok and ok in terms of content beyond what has been removed that could be potentially related to such things like the mods I linked in the original post. and yeah I would like the implementation of such things not look to be completely biased. as far as I'm aware just like animations mod for fallout new Vegas where the author deleted it your the best bet of getting is finding the needle in the haystack of a user who has the mod. Well, if users can find the long gone mods in random sketchy sites now, i guess the authors can do the same eh? :turned:

Wonder if the modders who spent hours doing content about the darker times of germany will have a chance to backup their work or if stuff will just be outright deleted from now on. Y'know, a bunch of modders trust the site and wouldn't bother keeping backups, or lost the backups long ago...

Old thread, i know, but the vendor bug got me recently. Yet another long-standing bug or limitation, like beth never expected players to have that much money. Anyways, skyrim modders fixed the problem through skyrim script extender, so i'm assuming it should be possible here too, if any code-savvy modder picks up the cause. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/85285?tab=posts Maybe something that should come built into JIP eh? :cool:

In response to post #74005513. #74037378, #74298428 are all replies on the same post. Ads always had a problem of crippling my browser when i got a handful of nexus tabs open, so going on a mod binge was quite the hassle before i realized there were ad blockers out there, if they even existed at the time. I can't be the only one who had that problem, so i guess it's good that at least some of the community (of freeloaders) is getting those ads legitimately banished!

hmmm... i liked this manager, a lot the idea of having 1 program for all fallout and TES games (except the really old ones) is amazing thing is, it doesn't have all the functions FOMM and OBMM have, and when you install it, the good ol'trusty mod managers won't work anymore, even after you uninstall it all and install again Lice23 seems to be having the same problem as mine... well, i think i will just wait until the NxMM gets a bit away of beta stage ;) good job guys, keep it up, or lots of ppl including me will be having trouble managing mods... i hope graphics settings edit comes to the manager soon, i hate having to run to the ini files and modifying them manually xD btw, i noticed some of you have problems because nxmm doesn't have TESSnip, just use FO3EditFNVEdit until the devs of nxmm get these functions on it's just like fishing... have patience and you will get the fish...

hmmm... the new design looks a little too... uh... it's not like the nexus anymore... all these fancy bright colors they don't seem to hurt your eyes on old tube monitor, however after 5 minutes your eyes are so red that your vision blurs Dx on LCD monitor, it does seem like you are going to hurt your eyes, but you stand watching the colors for hours and nothing happens >_< preview pics do show up for me, but didn't show up for my uncle, he uses google chrome, i use firefox... ads really do show up over the drop-down menus, but most of the times not... i think the half preview image is on purpose, but... oh, and on my other LED monitor, the colors on these big, unnecessary orange bars, or yellow, whatever, change colors... every time they are in the lower half of the screen they look almost red, on center they look orange-yellow, and on top they look blue-green... using resolution 1680x1050 on both lcd and led screen, 100Hz using 1280x1024 on tube monitor, 60Hz well... the new nexus design obviously has a lot of problems, but let's hope these get sorted before the new design gets finished 100% and overwrites the good old nexus... but really, what's bugging the most is the big colorful buttons and bars... i know ppl who are a bit colorblind or have intolerance to these colors, lol my only request is that they make these bars smaller and give back the plain old orange look from nexus oh, and the browser variation problems... that's what happens to people that doesn't use firefox(latest) XD also chat button shows 999 and when you scroll to the end of the page you see chat link displaying about 16 users oh well... Dark0ne should make a backup of the old nexus and store it in a portable disk drive, then store in in a safe and hide it in another dimension just to be sure ;)

Don't feel bad. I get 10 years older every time I do these tests. lol time in front of the pc is never wasted :thumbsup: after all, you stand in front of the pc, looking at a screen that makes your eyes red and tired, tapping at a cold metal keyboard(at least mine is) and standing in a position that will wreck your spine because you like to use the PC, right?:wink: not including the weekly overnights...:pinch: "time you enjoy wasting isn't wasted time" - Beatrix Russell, Fallout:New Vegas NPC also, there should be more of these age traps, they work like a charm!:dance: it's like fishing with a fish-eye magnet LOL

hey guys, i just noticed, -on the old world blues dlc- that when you start talking to the crazy robot scientists, you might eventually hear one of amy winehouse's musics playing :blink: COINCIDENCE? well, at least it really seemed one of amy winehouse's songs, can't listen really right when there are ambient noises and mad scientists talking to you at the same time (btw, i did not disable the signal that was coming out of the dlc radio, music could be coming from pip-boy radio, not background or lab...) now a little more serious talk... well... about Rausheim's comment... AND grannywills analyze all sides, i say i see people dying around me, or eventually in front of me, almost every freakin' day, that have half the age,or LESS, much less, that amy winehouse had, yes, kids, being killed by crime, drugs, and even police, or they own parents... and they didn't have a choice, amy winehouse was an great talented person, but had a weak personality, so she got involved with alcohol and drugs, that's mainly her own fault, because many of the ppl that die here were strong, hard working people that were taken down by the impunity that my country is choked on they did not have a choice, did they? amy winehouse could have been strong and resist the addictions, and if she did she would probably be alive today, and for quite a long more she had the choice of living long or dying quick. too bad she picked the short life but hey, let's not continue on this one, because if i do i might get banned and probably take a bunch of amy winehouse fans with me :pinch:

hell i still play the old MS-DOS games and even try to mod them damn i still remember good old wolfenstein 3d, or Rise of The Triads, or Doom, or even blake stone, duke nukem, duke nukem II and duke nukem 3D i still play them eventually, but after you finished them for the 138th time you just get sick of it also, if i knew any kiddo that dislikes the old, REAL games, i would knock the one in the head until it suffered from amnesia, and then i would introduce the kid to the old games, then let the kid know about the newer games, as it should happen by nature :thumbsup: also, when i saw Doom3, i got so frustrated that i used the DVD to break the game's case to pieces, don't ask me how same thing for quake4, i just hated it and sin? i still remember when i played the first sin, then ritual started to make the sin episodes but suddenly gave up and left me like this:9 promised episodes, 1 in hand... i hate ritual games now, and will hate them forever, until they start working on sin again actually i think Ritual doesn't even exist anymore... Ritual entertainment had some devs from Duke Nukem, that explains some of the really OMG language used in-game, which i LOVED and also learned English on... also, really, oblivion has one of the most attractive engines ever... 6 years after it's invention, and it's still kicking, and kicking good! and heavily moddable too, i wonder if when bethesda releases Skyrim, they will open their old decommissioned Gamebryo engine even more, allowing us modders to play with the engine as much as our capabilities can go... ok, i won't say anything more about old games, because accessing old memories in my brain, while being pissed off with guys my age that say "that game has bad graphics i won't play it" might make my nose bleed, and i might lose consciousness... or start kicking and destroying everything around me... both are bad options...

wait... what does the option bActorLookWithHavok actually do? don't know if it does anything at all, but, hell, i just felt the need to ask, maybe some1 knows :biggrin:

.... you guys are lucky this guy did not decide to hack from brazil! here's the land of impunishment, especially hacking, if you are not hacking rich folks bank accounts then it's not a crime! believe me, it's true, the only thing usable as a punishment would be sending back a deadly virus, reverse spamming or blocking him forever,cause if you wait for the law you'll never get the guy punished by hacking, and he would simply continue! i admit, i hack, but only for good, bad things can happen to me if i do bad things to others, so i avoid it... oh and i'm from brazil, but don't worry if i were a (bad)hacker i wouldn't be posting anithing and there would probably be a lot of spam instead of a friendly message... like the last hacker that came here... i think he didn't knew he was hacking,it's impossible to someone be so dumb to hack without even masking the ip address... except, as i said, on brazil... bad hackers only change their ip's to make new accounts on forums like this one! hehe, to think i already took 8 bad hackers totally out of comission with their own crap, hehehehehehe not counting the others i took out with some of my own home made crap!:biggrin: i bet they are all bashing their heads to the wall right now,with a useless pc that got its BIOS flashed empty mhuhuhuhuhahaha!!!:wallbash: Morons, these will never hack again i assure you all!:thumbsup: and again don't worry i'm NOT a bad hacker so don't think it's a good idea to ban me ok? i may get sad if i get banned :sad: oh and blake81 i'm looking forward to beating your humungously big post record, it won't last long i assure you, this post i wrote here is a small one,there is still the tiny, medium, large and LBP(Legendary Big Post) believe me,it's bigger than anyone can expect,unless there are um... 60000 words limit like some forums... then it will be the max, nothing more than it...

ugh! oblivion is already good as it is, it always been good(the GAME, not the PLAYABILITY,referring to TESdaggerfall) ok, i admit daggerfall was a hardly playable game, the clipping was murder and the engine was rusty, well, things got better on TES 3 Morrowind, for people who never played something from the likes of it(just came from daggerfall) found morrowind to be amazing, and didn't notice the clumsy way the character walked and runned... now people who played TES iv oblivion, and scroll back to morrowind will SURELY notice the badly horrible the player walked, and also think it to be less playable... enough useless words here, let's talk about i really think about the coming TES:i say this, if it comes with moving hair i'll be a much happier person,weeee now if it comes with a less clumsy battle sistem(others say this, i love the 1st person combat, makes me remember older games) new graphics, overally all that his antecessor lacked, AND still keeps the TES series way i'll be the happiest person you'll probably find out here, they already took a bite out of oblivion by taking away the classic question system which result in your class depending on your answers, which ROCK(ed) now VATS??? ok, this kills me,kinect could have a small chance of fitting but VATS on skyrim??? perks already exist so there could be added MORE perks, like a flying spell or armor or even an acessory or race that has wings, so you can fly wherever you want, having dragon riding possibilities as DEFAULT from the game and not via mods, and what could be added too is the carnage! i know it's not really TES but it's really weird when you:Kill a unarmored guy instantly, with a sword that's bigger than him and he falls on the ground INTACT, without a single scratch nor bleeding nor limbs flying to oblivion... but yes, let's wait and see, there is no point in being nervous to death even before the game comes to market! oh and please DO NOT USE THE *not allowed* nor anything similar to get your hands on Skyrim, buy it original, don't be a scumbag or the next version of TES may not be, umm... like, something like this will happen:OHGOD!!! TES IS COMING, RUUUUUUUUUN!!! :nuke: :down: ugh, goddamned pirates, why don't you all walk on the plank? hope you all get thrown to the slaughterfish or, uh... :blink: nevermind! :biggrin: ... i was just about to get banned from saying "unpolite" words against pirates :devil: :pirate: that was close!!! :sweat: oh and i got nothing about custom characters, but, a 10 year old anime puppet carrying a sword two times bigger than it and the classic anime voice can be deadly for oblivion fans and people allergic to animes... i'm oblivion fan level 255(max,hehe),and i love animes as long as they aren't ruining anything i like! oh and the water walking perk at acrobatics 100 is actually water jump! water walk is activated by magic or equipment, and there is no need to jump with timing,so you can sneak on water!

I'm surely thinking about TES V Skyrim! i just hope it comes with CS or something similar or then i, and all modders around the world are doomed! i already gave up about "great mods for oblivion iv" so i'm ready to clear my mind and focus on skyrim! i can't be disappointed, or i'll scroll back to elder scrolls iv, sadly and as usual, start from small to big(ahem, medium) mods! i do all my mods myself so they are mostly not public and small\medium type so:i could do a new race or even a pack, take a year... :wallbash: or a simple script, a day! medium:one week to two hard:one month REALLY HARD:uh.... dunno! and so on! i really take long since i'm the lazyest person in the guiness book :biggrin: i could NEVER do a big mod like deadly reflex, it takes too much resources and anims and textures and script hassle with headache as result.... but yeah IF skyrim gets launched as a fully moddable game like its antecessor i'll surely try doing big scaled mods without anyone's help(as usual) and make it somewhat public... i generally help other modders, but i never accept any help in exchange, my damned pride! 8) :ermm: :no:
