Help! All weapons in PipBoy displaying 0 damage!

[noctcrawler]

I was in GECK looking at the specs for weapons in both 20th century weapons (mod) and FO3. I never saved any changes, but now when I go into my game, all of my weapons say they do 0 damage! What did I mess up and how do I fix it without having to reinstall everything?

jus treinstall 20 century. otherwise im sure its just a pip-boy glitch. do the weapons still kill?

well, first of all, don't panic!!

if you start panicking, you end up doing more harm to yourself (or your game, in this case)

 

i assume you have saved your game

just load the game, go to the nearest place with something that you can kill, and try to use V.A.T.S. on that NPC\creature

see if after hitting a few times, you still didn't do any damage

 

also, load only the main file in GECK, and see if the weapons damage isn't set to 0

 

you see, sometimes the display on the pipboy shows wrong damage settings

but i don't think you have messed up your game

 

hope this helps :)

So far, I have tried to fix it by "deactivating" and then "re-activating" 20th century (inside of FOMM), but that didn't fix it. Is that the same as uninstalling and the re-installing it?

 

I just went just outside of Megaton and killed some stuff, so my weapons do still do damage. I guess I can keep playing with PipBoy messed up, but it's useful to see weapon damage for comparing weapons and such.

 

So any suggestions on how to fix this?

well, if you still have the 20th Century Weapons files that you downloaded, just take the esp and put it in the data folder (replace the existing one)

and if you have a FOMOD of that mod, just remake that FOMOD

 

the thing is, the problem could be the esp of that mod, so just replace that file with an untouched version (i hope you understand what i mean, as it's hard to explain.....)

It's fixed. I "deactivated" both 20th Century and CALIBR, deleted them (in FOMM), and then re-installed them using the original source files. I did CALIBR too just in case; I couldn't remember if I had opened it up too in GECK or not.

that was what i tried to explain (and failed miserably, if i may say ;))

 

glad you managed to fix it :)
