If you're gonna have Daleks you're gonna need Cybermen as well.

Food+water=defense is a good starting point. Double defense is better still (although you will still get the occasional settlement attack), to quote Moses Pendergrast "Always some dumb ************ trying to ice-skate uphill."

Actually, the way the settlement system is now the higher your defenses are the less chance a settlement has of getting attacked (allegedly, anyway). My Configurable Gameplay Overhaul mod has options for changing the maximum quests you can have at any one time and changing the chance that you'll actually get a quest to begin with. Not completely what you're asking for, I know. I am in the process of sorting out ideas for making the quest assignments 'smarter', but it takes a while for me.

Ah yes, fun with factions...

I just uploaded a completely new mod that includes my Minutemen Quest Relief as an option - plus it's settings (max quests, chance-to-get) are adjustable in-game!

Thirdsies on the bug-free experience. 639 hours and ZERO game-breaking bugs. Even the actual glitches are rare, although one of the updates seems to have introduced flickeriness to decals (I notice it on the junkpiles laying on the floor, mainly).

I still think they should implement into a new game some features that modders put into past games, and toss said modder some money for the privilege. I'm specifically thinking of the script extender team here. It couldn't be that hard to add the papyrus features from SKSE into the papyrus system of FO4....could it?

I solved the problem, turns out that - and hold on to your hat here - scripts don't work properly when the relevant code isn't in the proper place or order! How 'bout that?

I use a Steam Controller - all the benefits of a controller and the precision of a mouse. No need for VATS and if I miss it's because I suck (and I miss a lot because I suck).

I wonder if Abernathy Farm straddles a cell border?

I've a feeling that unless Bethesda makes an update to make them optional there's not going to be a way to disable them without disabling VATS as well. In Skyrim the only way (that I know of) to disable the kill-cam was to put a line 'bDisableVATS=1' or some such in one of the ini files. It seems obvious to me that line would completely disable VATS, which isn't really a good solution. Remember, getting killed because the game insists you look at useless effects is FUN. This is the same reason that certain animations have to go to 3rd person view regardless of settings...gotta look at your hawt bawd don't ya know...just don't ask why your legs are invisible, you don't cast a shadow, and you appear to be nothing more than a disembodied pair of arms in 1st person.

I think it's likely the engine acting strangely because the script is compiled with a 3rd-party tool.

Nothing to do with it. You can assign a perk via script or command console regardless of whether your character has the prerequisites (you just can't select it on the perk chart if you don't). It literally just stopped working after I re-compiled it.

That's what's confusing me also, since it DID work before I started messing with it. I wonder if Caprica is playing silly buggers.... Again, it compiles without any errors and everything works fine except the AddPerk line in Function ChooseWorkshopPerkRequirements() ScriptName ConfigurableGameOverhaulScript extends ObjectReference

So here's an odd issue, the following code in the If block worked just fine. I tried some new stuff in another part of the script and (accidentally) deleted it. When I put it back the script still compiles fine but now it doesn't work any more. I swear, I'm just gonna give up and wait for Beth to finally crap out the CK whenever they've decided it's strained their gut enough.... Perk Property LocalLeader1 Auto ; ; ; LocalLeader1 = Game.GetFormFromFile(0x0004D88D, "Fallout4.esm") as Perk ; ; ; If (Game.GetPlayer().HasPerk(LocalLeader1) == False) Game.GetPlayer().AddPerk(LocalLeader1, 1) EndIf

Every time I go to visit creationkit.com after restarting my browser I get a message about it 'checking my browser' and it makes me wait a few seconds. It also says something about ddos protection. That just started the last few days as well.

That's not uncommon, if a bot's legs get damaged enough they'll do that. I haven't yet seen a entry bot do that but I've seen plenty of protectrons and aussaultrons do it.

Ahh, thanks so much for all your help!

They can be recreated, though...just can't use the original assets.

Reneer, I have a question for you; how did you get the new line into the DESC of RenRadioMsg in your radio mod? Thanks, friend, that mod has been an inspiration!

You might take a look at Binoculars and Portable Scopes for Fallout 3. I would imagine it would work the same way.

Related to the wetness effects, the game engine CAN tell whether something is under a roof or not (settlers like their beds under roofs, for one example).

I discovered the issue; the globals I was attempting to change are flagged as constants. I remove the flag, I can change their value.

Looks like something may still be broken, look at the stats on Perk-Free Workshop Main file = 475 uniques, Homemaker patch = 125 uniques Total uniques displayed at the top = 287 ???

I also tried GlobalVariable.SetValueInt() and it didn't work either. Any ideas?
