If this is anything like the Alpha tests Microsoft did for Halo 2, you'd be better off playing on the PC instead. (microsoft came to the conslusion Xbox games have to be slowed down) mostly because you can't hook up a Macro programable mechanical keyboard, and a 9000DPI mouse to the PS3. (though at least with the PS3 you can hook up a mouse and keyboard) so your controls on a PS3 are far less responsive. if D3 is anything like Diablo 2. can you sustain 200+ actions per Minute on a PS3 controller? (real actions, not spamming) without the Instant onset of carpal tunnel? I believe that if they support a console version, then they probably support game controlers on the computer as well my prediction: No diablo III on PS3 at all. Mac/PC same time release.

maybe "Activator" should be a xmarker that you move using either SetPos, or Moveto. I havn't figured out what this does yet: if (Player.IsInInterior == 0 && Player.GetInWorldspace Lucky38World == 0) set bTargeted to PlaceAtReticle EuclidTargetPointer 1 0 EuclidPointerRange if (bTargeted) set VEuclidQuest.fTimer to 5; StartQuest VEuclidQuest; set VEuclidQuest.bEnablePointer to 1; endif obviously the first part checks if the player is indoors, and in the Lucky38 WorldSpace. bTargeted is a 'Short' according to its define statement. PlaceAtReticle is new with FNV, and I can't find a functional definition for it. EuclidTargetPointer is a Object (a trigger/activator to be exact) PointerRange is a Global Variable (probably static) VEuclidQuest is this: ScriptName VEuclidQuestSCRIPT ; Countdown to the blast. Places a EuclidTarget object, which is the explosion spawner, when time expires. Also aborts early if precondiitons for firing aren't met. float fTimer; short bHasTarget; short nEvent short bInitialized; short bEnablePointer; short bPointerInitialized; ref rPointer; long nPointerTargets; float fStartTime; short nExit; For debugging. long nFailures; BEGIN GameMode if (bInitialized == 0) set nEvent to 0; set fTimer to 3.0; set bHasTarget to 0; set nPointerTargets to 0; set fStartTime to GetCurrentTime; set bInitialized to 1; set nExit to 0; endif if (fTimer > 0) ; rPointer is initialized in EuclidTargetPointer script. if (nPointerTargets > 0 && rPointer.GetDistance Player > EuclidRange) rPointer.Disable; rPointer.MarkForDelete; set bInitialized to 0; set bEnablePointer to 0; set bPointerInitialized to 0; set nExit to 1; StopQuest VEuclidQuest; endif endif set fTimer to fTimer - GetSecondsPassed; if (nEvent == 0 && fTimer < 9) set nEvent to 1 HeliosLaserTopREF.Playgroup Forward 1 elseif (fTimer <= 0) ; Need to abort if: player waits, transitions, aims too far away, or fast travels. if (GetCurrentTime > fStartTime + 0.5 || Player.IsInInterior || Player.GetInWorldspace Lucky38World || IsPlayerMovingIntoNewSpace || rPointer.GetDistance player > EuclidRange) rPointer.Disable; rPointer.MarkForDelete; set nExit to 2; else set bHasTarget to player.PlaceAtReticle EuclidTarget 1 0 20000 if (bHasTarget == 0) rPointer.Disable; rPointer.MarkForDelete; set nFailures to nFailures + 1; endif set nExit to 5; endif set bInitialized to 0; set bEnablePointer to 0; set bPointerInitialized to 0; StopQuest VEuclidQuest; endif END you should also check out the VEuclidQuest keep trying, you'r getting there :D

... Double Post, Sorry (hit reply instead of edit..)

you need to make messages (they're an object type), not use strings, because the GECK doesn't work with strings EXCEPT with error messages. so, you could make warnings instead. or add the messages and call them like this showmessage aModLaserBoom or showWarning "This Message will work" and then change it after you get it to work EDIT: Didn't realize until now somebody else (Tunaisafish) already answer this... nvm

thats what i though, I actually had to google it for one thing, your probably going to have to kill the number of polygons in 3ds max or blender, or w/e tool you're using to collect point data anyway. you need a obj file that you can import into nifskope, where you can fix the shaders more info? are you talking about an industrial 3d scanner? like the $5000+ variety? those probably have stupidly high resolutions p.s. <-- thats amazing

my bad on the link, but onFire is actually a valid block type? i've never tried it in use but, it compiles. its on the GECK page as added in NV: http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php/Begin or are you saying you've used it and it doesn't work? (in which case nvm)

Thanks. But that still won't save for some reason. Why can't there be a damn override save button in the geck... Also - I'm using onFire. I don't want it to activate only after it hits. Though... making people explode after they get hit with it would be cool. But the idea is to modify the Laser RCW so that everywhere it hits has a 5 second buildup of energy then explodes. Also if someone could help me with the code for placing an object at the reticle location and then placing a second object at the previous location. I would like to apply a pointer to the target location the add items to that location in the script, thus every time the script advances a second the detonation charge pulse gets bigger (via different objects placed) and then it detonates. you need to download GECK powerup. it will show you the compiler errors instead of it silently failing 100% of the time... heres a link http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36290 I highly recommend that, and FNVEdit http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34703 OnFire was added with new vegas, and to be 100% honest, i've never tried using it.. all I was originally stating is that timers HAVE to be in blocks that run everyframe (can be done in triggers, but gamemode is more applicable to this situation) otherwise it gets evaluated once, isn't true (as the time doesn't change) and nothing happens. I saw a script to get the x/y/z position of the reticle. http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/How_to_make_a_ground_area_mark_that_follows_the_crosshair goodluck

what is the model? can you upload it? if it is more complcated it would be easiest to look at it...

Double Post...

double click any existing tristrips data... (part of the model, default rendered white) it will open the branch, and should be something like: NiNode-> NiNode -> NiTriStrips-> BSSHaderPPLightingProperty -> ->BSShaderTextureSet should be fairly easy to navigate too

I dont think begin on fire run every frame, so your timer isn't being continuallly counted down, run maybe twice, probably once. normally a timer script have the timer evaluations in a gamemode block, because gamemode blocks run every frame. float timer begin onactivate set timer to 10 if timer > 0 set timer to timer - getsecondspassed endif if timer <= 0 do something endif end that wont work, but is written fairly correctly. float timer short triggerd begin onactivate set timer to 10 set triggerd to 1 end begin Gamemode if timer > 0 && triggerd == 1 set timer to timer - getsecondspassed endif if timer <= 0 && triggered == 1 do something endif end that why the activate (or onhit in your case) starts the gamemode block. I've done this with target bottles (so after they spawn you can shoot them and they time out, and then "teleport" to a garbage collection cell/container.) the onhit block only set everything in motion. the magic is done in gamemode blocks (in order words add a gamemode block to your script and just put the timer in there) hopefully that helps

honestly, i believe your problem is actually related to the number of threads your computer is using for AI's, try defaulting to 1. you have to edit the fallout.ini file. look for "bUseThreadedAI = X" and set it to "bUseThreadedAI = 1" try that I have had a similar issue (nearly identicle) with a very powerful computer. and it was thread related. have you fully updated the game?

ask away, I have both games. what did you want to know?

remove the cool down timer? and make the healing ring heal fully? :D a Sorter is similar, but checks for ammo instead of weapons. as such, its generally easier. you have presumably one ammo box per ammo type. each ammo box has as unique reference, preferably something REALLY similar. if you made a base called BlackStone "BlackStoneArmoryBox10mmREF" would be excellent. descriptive and unique. to sort 10mm ammo using a switch: scn BlackStockDemoSort10mmSwitchScript short ammocount begin onactivate if isactionref player == 1 if player.getitemcount ammo10mm >= 1 set ammocount to player.getitemcount ammo10mm player.removeitem ammo10mm ammocount 1 BlackStoneArmoryBox10mmREF.additem ammo10mm ammocount 0 else ;elseif player.getitemcount ammo44mag >= 1 (would add others here) showmessage BlackStoneNo10mmAmmoMSG ; if only sorting one endif endif end this was several thousand lines of code, and includes every weapon in New Vegas/Dead Money/Honest Hearts http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd418/x0r-lord/thewall.jpg if your interested in how to make a weapons wall, or ammo shelves, give me a shout and i'll start you on your way :D

when you open the add topic menu (where you choose pre-made topics) click white space and select new.

to directly answer your question: for all intesive purposes yes, medium is good. in fact, when you run the launcher (from CD, when it calibrates settings automatically at the start). it will probably tell you medium is the suggested. my friend runs the game on a 1 and 1/2 year old sony Viao with like a AMD x850 or some crap (not exactly sure). either way, your laptop smokes his. my MBP is somewhat comparable, (worse V/C but better everything else). and I run med/low-high settings at 1440x900 no problems. just keep super-sampling (AA) off, and Anisotropic Filtering low(4x)/off (although AMD cards generally handle those better then nvidia). and update the game before you play it... when i bought Fallout 3 (i bought the Game of the Year Edition). it wouldn't let me get past character creation until i patched it, and forced it to use only 1 thread.

New to modding and having a similar problem. Just tweaking an existing mod by adding an NPC. It's there in GECK but not appearing in game. Other objects I've added, moved, or deleted are correct. NPC doesn't want to join the game. Thanks for the help. make sure that there is a NAVMESH underneath where you placed the NPC. the navmesh button looks like a few red dots with lines drawn (18th button from the left) between scripts and place cubic activator (trigger). when in navmeshing mode, you should see connected triangles under your NPC. if the area is navmeshed, put a xmarkerheading directly on top of your NPC (can set as a linked reference to set patrol) make sure when your checking to see if it works that you enter the cell from a differant one, don't load a save game inside the cell your testing or it wont "reload" the cell. placing a cocmarkerheading in the cell, and using the console to travel there works. "COC Cellname" in console

similar problems can have more then one cause "Fallout New Vegas Archive Invalidation (Get Rid of Big Red Exclamation Points) "

for one thing, the assets are not missing, they cannot be found. there is a differance here vanilla game characters meshes are only MISSING if the game didn't install correctly in the first place. mods can create conflicts where meshes are overrode and can no long be found as the game will ONLY load one version of a file archive invalidation attempts to rectify missing assests caused by the game engine not loading object located outside of .bsa archives. I've solved a problem where ALL the custom meshes i made were missing for ammo and only ammo in a mod I made. but completely custom meshes (from scratch, and non-existant in the vanilla game) worked fine. to OP, try it, if it doesn't work turn it off again.

or you need archive invalidation... there is a couple of reasons.

right there is where im getting confused, first when you say (from a new topic) i dont know which one to use seeing as how a list comes up to choose from. also, im not sure what to put down for the script begin and end, im very new to this and its all big and scary jumping into this. i really do appreciate all youve done though, just maybe clear up this for me : ) Thanks again (a lot), TKup when the list comes up, right click and select new. it will then be a blank spot, and you can type the name in. GREETING already exists, and can be found in the list. if you asking where the list is, it appears when ading a topic, under the TOPIC tab of a quest (while making a quest and the quest window is open). GOODBYE however appears in the conversation menu. http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd418/x0r-lord/Quest3.jpg This is how you add a topic http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd418/x0r-lord/Quest4.jpg this is where you create a new topic

are you looking to just change it? or do it through a script? (prehaps on a condition?) either way. if you open the lvled encounter for the NCR soldiers, in the inventory tab youll see withAmmoNVServiceRifleLoot thats the Leveled Item List they normally have., you can create your own, or duplicate it and just change the weapon. it normally contains: CondNVServiceRifleLoot Ammo556mm Ammo556mm75 Case556mm75 In order to duplicate or make a new leveled item list, you need to navigate to the item list part of the geck object window.

I'd like to confirm I've also had this problem. it is consisant, meaning the two cells it happens on, it ALWAYS happerns on. I agree I believe its a sign something isn't right, but i havn't a clue as to what it is. if you find out, please post it. I've gone through my mod several times with FO3Edit and removed any conflicts with vanilla game. both the cells it occurs in for me have very high navmesh triangle counts (one is over 1000, which is about 2x as high as the max it should be). as well as high reference counts in general (a lot of objects, clutter, etc). both over 1500 objects. my cells run as expected do yours?

enclave power armor for Fallout 3 is already in new vegas, its just not found anywhere, or on any item lists. as is the unqique Enclave Shock tropper armor. tesla armor is as well... project nevada would require you to find out how the ISFX is put onto the player (I would imagine an effect/enchantment on the helmet). Enclave Power Armor (F3) : ArmorEnclave ArmorEnclaveHelment Unique: ArmorUniqueEnclave ArmorUniqueEnclaveHelmet Tesla: ArmorTeslaPower ArmorTeslaHelmet I would tell you exactly how to do it, but i've never downloaded project nevada. I may though, it looks pretty cool. (I'm very particular about which mods I use). I've taken a break from FONV for a few (until Honest Heart). good luck
