This mod will be 100% done in a few days. Here is the last batch of screens: http://oi54.tinypic.com/voxzeb.jpg http://oi51.tinypic.com/jkc45x.jpg http://oi52.tinypic.com/23sg0zs.jpg http://oi54.tinypic.com/i6l9c6.jpg http://oi56.tinypic.com/2gua7gz.jpg http://oi54.tinypic.com/34pakxe.jpg http://oi54.tinypic.com/34zaywj.jpg

Yea, there is bugginess about the Sierra Madre cards. This explains it better than I can. http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=41210 It doesn't explain anything about card graphics, though.

By the way, how are Sierra Madre caravan cards working for you all? For me, they appear as The Tops playing cards, with The Tops light blue back graphic, and not the Sierra Madre red/black one. I ask, because I also want to add the missing 33 SM cards in this mod, but if they are bugged, then there is no point. Please tell me if it is only my own problem.

At first, I didn't plan on making a penthouse, as I myself don't like player house mods(each time I see "another house in Goodsprings", I'm getting furious), because for me, it's only about Lucky 38. But then again, every casino on The Strip has a Penthouse (Mr. House, Heck Gunderson, Benny) AND high roller/presidential suite. High roller suites are worthless anyway, so I didn't bother with one (besides, the 3rd reward is Complimentary Voucher anyway, and I don't feel like messing with Sierra Madre casino data). Instead, I wanted to create a penthouse like in every other Strip casino, albeit an interesting alternative, and I think a pool and bar on the rooftop is original. There will also be a vantage point from the top of the Sierra Madre, overlooking whole Strip from above. But I will think about a room in Villa.

@Dan3345 Dead Money is great DLC. It has what great rpg should have - excellent story and writing. Dog/God is the best super-mutant in Fallout series so far, Marcus be damned. But if you expect petty overpowered phat lewt, look elsewhere. I have no idea why people say it's 'hard'. I had absolutely no problem with it in hardcore mode, there are lots of chips in desks and wardrobes, and there is always graffiti telling where to look for speaker. @someguynamedjoe There are multiple in this topic so far, mainly showing rooftop (the penthouse will have two floors - top floor and rooftop).

@Rattlerx5150 And it's also seen from one angle on The Strip, but for Mojave Wasteland, due to the lack of complete mesh, I duplicated it and turned by 180 degrees, so it's like two halves. Couldn't think of anything better. @Raversbane Thanks. It just annoys the hell of me, but that's nothing. Everything is about 95% done. Some more screenshots: Those lights off are THOSE lights which kept corrupting my esp. I'll just have to manually replace them. http://oi53.tinypic.com/332pgyq.jpg Nightclub private room: http://oi54.tinypic.com/259bclh.jpg Nightclub: http://oi55.tinypic.com/wgx7iv.jpg Cantina Madrid: http://oi55.tinypic.com/111hw1g.jpg

If my esp wasn't repeatedly getting corrupted by copying cell's containts and removing a like to one useless reference, it would be in more advanced stage. I knew I was right about creating multiple backups and updating them repeatedly.

OK, thanks to chucksteel (thank you very very much) the only thing I need is a modeller who would create LOD models & textures for Sierra Madre Casino & the Sign for it. I believe it's the only way to do it. If anyone is interested, then please say so, and I'll make a contact as soon as possible.

Thank you very much for your appreciation, Raverbane. Maybe I'll throw in other goodies to make up for this situation. EDIT: thanks to chucksteel (thank you very very much) the only thing I need is a modeller who would create LOD models & textures for Sierra Madre Casino & the Sign for it. With those, a Sierra Madre would be completely visible from anywhere in the Strip(it is impossible to edit Mojave Wasteland LOD.) I believe it's the only way to do it. If anyone is interested, then please say so, and I'll make a contact as soon as possible.

As I have incredible problems with dealing with the Sierra Madre LOD, I've decided to 'let go' of trying to fix that for now. I'm no professional modder, this is my first mod ever, and for a casual player GECK's obstacles regarding LOD are too much for now. I've also received no help for now with this. Therefore, v1.0 will have everything I've planned for it *except* Sierra Madre LOD.I presume it will go live in a few days. Then, maybe someone more experienced will help me with this problem, so future versions will be flawless in that matter.

I see you are that inspired by my Sierra Madre On The Strip WIP mod:P I wish you good luck!

Hello all, you may or may not be familiar with my WIP mod Sierra Madre On The Strip: http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/topic/368479-wip-sierra-madre-on-the-strip/ Regarding it, I'm in desperate need of technical help: -Is it possible to add new building LOD on The Strip exterior so it can be seen from anywhere like Lucky 38? -If yes, someone who would be capable of creating such LOD for Sierra Madre Casino in any way possible would be absolutely PRICELESS. Thanks in advance, GeeZee

About the LOD: unfortunately, due to Obsidian & Bethesda restraints, creating LOD for Sierra Madre in the Mojave Wasteland will be MUCH more complicated than I ever expected. If anyone knows how to make this Sierra Madre exterior mesh visible from anywhere in the Mojave Wasteland, let me know. Any technical help, such as converting mesh etc. would be GREATLY appreciated. EDIT: Actually, a person who is able to edit, say, that The Tops static which is visible from anywhere by placing Sierra Madre near it would be priceless.

@falloutperson416 I have seen your mod(excellent work btw), and I tried to make sure a comp patch wouldn't be required, as my part of The Strip expansion places mostly new roads, but now, when I see this sewer system in v8, I'll see into compatibility of both mods closely.

@Machienzo Yes, for now it's near NCR Embassy but it will be replaced by a casino building for Dalls_Birds_Nest compatibility (or closed otherwise), and Michael Angelo will be moved behind Vault 21, near The Tops, (as there is lot of empty place there, plus for aesthetic reasons - it's really depressing to see that ugly workshop in front of the Villa) And yes, I'll of course make LOD for The Strip exterior. It seems that Sierra Madre will be as tall as Lucky 38. It will, unfortunately, push back the release date, because when I will add even one thing - Sierra Madre in this case - to be seen from afar, I'll have to recreate LOD for everything - Strip, Novac dinosaur, The Fort, Red Rock Canyon - everything.

@lilwayne1982 Vanilla and Dead Money resources only, and now the file takes ~4mb. Also, optimization and such... it will be alright, I guess. @midtek I guess there won't be a beta, since I pretty much knew what to include from the beginning. GTA44 plans on releasing NVSO v1.10 til the end of this month, so I'll make compatibility patch for it immidiately, but I see no reason for making comp patch for current version. Think of the end of the month as the ultimate Strip overhaul deadline. Also, the lights in the Villa with vanilla sky are literally blinding, so I think I will keep them only for those who play 'darker nights' mods (I don't, The Strip looks creepy). Thanks for all the appreciation!

Of course, and it seems that it will stand about as high as Lucky 38.

There will be penthouse* on top floor & rooftop (will post more screens soon), so you won't be a pedestrian, but, in the Run the Lucky 38 way: no. *I myself hate all those countless houses, but every vanilla casino has a high roller suite - still, I think it will be optional plugin for those concerned anyway.

in my opinion, the size of vanilla Strip was pitiful, and Dead Money resources wasted, so here it is (or rather will be soon). Expands the southern part of The Strip with fully operational and expanded Sierra Madre Casino, along with Villa Resort & Fountain. FEATURES: -Casino itself, its own sign, fountain & Villa on The Strip Villa Services*: Clinic, Gift Shop, Cafe, Bar, Restaurant, Conservatory, Armor Shop, Melee Weapons & Ammunition Shop** *my goal is to make The Strip with it the proper 'main city' it is, ensuring visitors' security and well-being - after all, a good customer is a living customer. **there is no melee weapon shop, and The Strip's law does not prohibit NCR MP from having stun batons, so... but it could be optional, though. New interiors in Sierra Madre: -Casino Great Hall, featuring high-stakes Caravan Players -Dean Domino Hologram singing in The Tampico -Ibiza Nightclub, with bar, private rooms and dancers -Cantina Madrid, surpassing even The Gourmaud with its quality -Frederick Sinclair's Penthouse on top floor & rooftop -Lobby, Casino, Suites, The Tampico and Cantina Madrid Reception cleaned, relighted & repopulated Will be compatible with NVSO, Dalls_Birds_Nest, Electro City, if it would be incompatible with more than that then please say so.
