Yogogamer Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Hello all, I've been working on a game sized total conversion for New Vegas and I was wondering if it'd be possible ( Or legal) to have it launch from a separate .exe so it's not such a hassle to replace everything in the base game, (I'm guessing not since it'd be like giving the game away for free) Thanks, Best regards - Yogogamer Edited March 12, 2014 by Yogogamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzisparis Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unoctium Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Why not just launch your game from the 'New Game' option on the New Vegas Main Menu, the same way as Project Brazil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unoctium Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Take a look at their data files. I'm sure there is relevant scripting information that might give you a clue on how they managed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
