Containers not showing as "Empty"

[hellkat9940]

I played New Vegas a bit right after it came out, then got busy for awhile and I'm only just now coming back to it. So I cleared out my mods folder and started anew with the nVamp thingy and it's accompanying mods, as well as a few others.

 

Only problems is that one of them seems to have turned off the thingy that appends (Empty) after it's been looted. Either that or something to do with the HUD has done it.

 

I'm not sure which one would be the problem, and it's going to be an absolute pain to turn off a few mods at a time, load up New Vegas, point at a container, and see if that set was the culprit.

 

So I figured I'd post my mod list here and the problem here and see if anyone knew anything about such an error.

I noticed when modding FO3 ages ago when I put a leveled item such as a 50% chance pistol spawn into one of the boxes marked 'empty' then it removed the empty tag from all boxes, even those with no pistol in. I can't say which mod has done this, I have not had chance to use many yet. Nor can I confirm this is what has happened but I have seen it before.

 

EDIT: Missed the part about after looting. Sorry, no ideas there...

Oddly enough it does it on corpses too.

 

When looting the little mantis things in the Goodsprings Schoolhouse they made sound and gave off a visual cue of blood. I don't recall that happening before either.

Check the HUD options for Project Nevada. There's an extra thing to click in the bottom-right corner of the in-game menu.

I took a peek in there, but couldn't find anything in my cursory examination.

 

Is there anything in particular I should be looking for?

I'm having the same problem. I rather liked having the empty displayed and the little notification of my karma dropping. I think it has to do with nVamp - xfo. Since there are parts in the xfo pack that remove the messages. Those parts aren't installed but that's my best guess.

Yes! That did it! Simply unchecking nVamp - XFO fixed the Empty problem.

 

Thank you so much!

nVamp should be dropping the hide "Empty" feature since FOOK already takes care of this
