Listing Official DLCs as Requirements?
jazzisparis replied to ZackBlastoff's topic in Fallout New Vegas's Discussion
The 'Required Files' section is intended for 3rd party (non-official) content. Any DLC requirements should be specified in the description tab. -
Why are Deathclaws so damn deadly?
jazzisparis replied to AxlDave's topic in Fallout New Vegas's Discussion
First of all, the maximum effective DR is 85%. The minimum damage sustained from an attack is 20% of the base damage, regardless of DR/DT. Even if your DR/DT are both super high, a Deathclaw will still hit you hard. -
FNV won't install correctly from cd
jazzisparis replied to Trypal7's topic in Fallout New Vegas's Mod Troubleshooting
Bottom line, if you allow Steam to "take over", does it complete the installation successfully, and are you able to launch the game afterwards? I don't have the DVD version, but from what I understand, this is what's supposed to happen. -
Now Recruiting, A Fallout 4 Mod Team
jazzisparis replied to ONEOFHAM's topic in Fallout New Vegas's Discussion
Well, I feel like a complete idiot now. I was wrong - there is, indeed, a CD version, just as you said (and llamaRCA confirmed). I was totally unaware one existed.It was arrogant of me to imply you were a pirate, when a quick search was enough to reveal even Amazon sells one.Please accept my sincere apology and hope there are no hard feelings.- 22 replies

Now Recruiting, A Fallout 4 Mod Team
jazzisparis replied to ONEOFHAM's topic in Fallout New Vegas's Discussion
Well, isn't this something. The PC version of F:NV was released exclusively for Steam, meaning there is no CD version. If you got your game on CD, it certainly wasn't from Walmart (that link is a "special offer" by Walmart, which then directs you to the Steam Store), and it is a pirated copy. Period.- 22 replies

Is this safe? (Record deletion)
jazzisparis replied to WhiskeyRiver2's topic in Fallout New Vegas's Discussion
It is not unusual for this to happen. It is generally harmless, but you can safely delete those records from your file in FNVEdit. -
Now Recruiting, A Fallout 4 Mod Team
jazzisparis replied to ONEOFHAM's topic in Fallout New Vegas's Discussion
Now recruiting - Mission to Mars 2050. Seriously, how are you planning to develop a mod for a game you know practically nothing about? Initiative is a good thing, but in this case it is way premature.- 22 replies

How to use CreateDetectionEvent efficiently?
jazzisparis replied to irswat's topic in Fallout New Vegas's Mod Ideas
There is no way to force an NPC to detect the player, or any other NPC. CreateDetectionEvent has a relatively short range and would be useless in your case. -
The container doesn't have to be in the same cell where the player is. You can create an empty interior cell and place the container there. Give the container a unique Reference ID and tick the Persistent Reference box. You can then access the container remotely, from anywhere, by "activating" it via a script. It would be more suitable to use a clothing item with no Biped Object, and attach a script to it that will fire whenever the player equips this item. The script should look something like this: scn HoldoutBriefcaseScript begin OnEquip player ContainerRefID.Activate player player.UnequipItem BriefcaseEditorID end

Game crashing while in-weapon PipBoy menu.
jazzisparis replied to Chypsyan's topic in Fallout New Vegas's Discussion
Does this happen with every weapon, or only with specific weapons? MMUE is an expansive mod that modifies numerous aspects of the game. I am not sure removing it mid-game would be advisable. You should probably report this issue on the MMUE page. -
Question about mod launching from separate .exe?
jazzisparis replied to Yogogamer's topic in Fallout New Vegas's Discussion
rickerhk is the lead programmer of PB and most likely has the info you seek. He is around often enough and I'm sure he'll be glad to help you. So if you haven't already, I suggest you contact him. -
Mods and nervous breakdown
jazzisparis replied to cazaderon's topic in Fallout New Vegas's Discussion
^ ^ ^ That, and it will not solve your problem. Are you crashing at random, or always when reaching a certain zone, entering a certain interior? ENB + Nevada Skies + NMC (which one?) + poco is a very demanding setup, and may overwhelm your laptop. -
Problem with .esp to .esm converstion
jazzisparis replied to a topic in Fallout New Vegas's Discussion
Make sure the folder containing the voice files in data\sound\voice is named exactly as your mod file. If you changed the file extension to ESM, you must change it there as well, then fix the voice files' paths in the GECK. -
This idle animation uses dlcpitt_cradlingbabya.kf which, not surprisingly, is included in Fallout - Meshes.bsa, but not used by the game. Extract the .kf file from the BSA to ..\data\meshes\characters\_male\idleanims In the GECK, go to Gameplay > Idle Animations Right-click LOOSE, select Add Child, give it a unique ID (or use LooseDLCPittCradingBabyA), select the .kf as the art file and set both min and max to 10. You can now use that idle in FNV.

GetDetected returning 0 when NPC is close by
jazzisparis replied to irswat's topic in Fallout New Vegas's Discussion
It won't interfere with the script. You can leave it if you want, but it won't make any difference. iEvalRange and iEvalDetection act as timers here. Since object/effect scripts iterate every frame (optimally, 60 times/sec), I prefer counting iterations, instead of measuring actual real-time passage. UseWeapon expects a positive integer. Feeding it -1 will make it fire to infinity, until halted by RemoveScriptPackage+EVP. GetRandomPercent takes no parameters and return a random integer in the range of 0-99. -
Question about mod launching from separate .exe?
jazzisparis replied to Yogogamer's topic in Fallout New Vegas's Discussion
As long as you know 100% what you're doing and are not permanently modifying the game's executable files, I believe it should be OK. -
Creature Companion Creation
jazzisparis replied to Deleted4363562User's topic in Fallout New Vegas's Discussion
If a robot, then you need to create a Creature, not an NPC. Tick the Allow PC Dialogue box. All the rest should be pretty much the same. -
GetDetected returning 0 when NPC is close by
jazzisparis replied to irswat's topic in Fallout New Vegas's Discussion
The detection mechanism in the game and how exactly is detection calculated is not fully-understood and is at least partially hardcoded. You can force an NPC to search for the player (SendAssaultAlarm), but you can't force it to detect the player. At such long ranges you speak of, there is no chance an NPC will detect the player, even in daytime and with a clear LOS. I suggest a "simulated" detection process, and UseWeapon to force attack. Consider the following script: scn SniperModScript ref rSniper short iEvalRange short iRange short bLooking short iEvalDetection short bDetected float fChance begin GameMode if iEvalRange == 0 set iRange to GetDistance player if iRange < 8000 if bLooking == 0 set bLooking to 1 Look player endif if iEvalDetection == 0 set iEvalDetection to 300 if GetLOS player == 0 set bDetected to 0 elseif bDetected == 0 set fChance to 20 + ((8000 - iRange) / 400) if player.IsSneaking set fChance to fChance * (1 - (player.GetAV Sneak / 200)) endif if (GameHour > 19) || (GameHour < 5) set fChance to fChance / 2 endif set bDetected to (fChance > GetRandomPercent) endif if bDetected != (GetCurrentAIPackage == 33) if bDetected if rSniper == 0 set rSniper to GetSelf endif UseWeapon WeapNVGhillieSniperRifle rSniper player -1 0 0 else RemoveScriptPackage EVP endif endif else set iEvalDetection to iEvalDetection - 1 endif else set iEvalRange to 600 set iEvalDetection to 0 if bDetected set bDetected to 0 RemoveScriptPackage EVP endif if bLooking set bLooking to 0 StopLook endif endif else set iEvalRange to iEvalRange - 1 endif end What happens here: Every 10 seconds, the script checks if the player is within 8000 game units. If so, it runs a detection check every five seconds, based on LOS, distance from the player, time of day, whether the player is sneaking, the player's sneak skill, and finally a random percent. The calculated detection chance is from 5 to 40% (this seems realistic and balanced enough to me. You can, of course, tweak it - just remember it is re-evaluated every 5 seconds). If successful, the NPC will start firing at the player, and will not cease until losing LOS - at which point detection checks will resume. -
Which mod spams Added message
jazzisparis replied to RoyBatterian's topic in Fallout New Vegas's Mod Troubleshooting
Unless you remove at least 40 mods from your load order, you'll be returning here sooner than later with much more serious issues. Your load order should never exceed 139 active files. Those are actually ESMs with .esp extension.
