because /v/

literally.

what dream mod would you like to create/have created for you for any of the 3D Fallout releases?

I want more fauna in New Vegas/3 (TTW) akin to birds/fish that aren't purely combat foes, i.e. rattlesnakes and electro-beetles

>>170426367

I'm not sure if i would call it a dream mod, but i was just thinking that it's retarded that the Institute doesn't have their own power armor for synths or plasma weapons, or even something more obscene like teleport bullets or something.

I also don't know anything about bethesda modding.

>>170426598
an anon was making a teleport mod where you could essentially use it as a recall-teleport, i.e. use it and run 100ft and then tele back to the use point, which seemed pretty cool

also, http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/18315/?
is the Institute PA from the artwork that never made the game

they talk about starting R&D soon on plasma weapons on a terminal in the Institute, too

>>170426764

>they talk about starting R&D soon on plasma weapons on a terminal in the Institute, too

Fucking hack frauds and their waifu bots, no wonder their laser weapons are shit too.

That power armor is cool but apparently it doesn't actually add them to the Institute synths, so it triggers my autism.

>>170426845
it would be v. ez to add them into the level lists for Coursers or to simply equip them on every Courser would you so choose that route

this could be the perfect learning lesson for you to pick up xEdit and/or Creation Kit (I'd suggest xEdit purely for ease-of-use) as it's an incredibly simple feat.

I just noticed that the telephones are missing a cable to connect the handset. And, that I need to put something on those file cabinets.

>>170426845
Synths don't need PA, and Synth armor should not exist. The institute could just attach more/sturdier armor plates directly to the frame.

>>170427243
>Synths don't need PA
it's intimidating, for starters, it would also allow a unit to have similar tier strength to that of a Courser

>>170427243

They could, but Synths are infiltrators, which means it's more convenient for them to be able to simply put or remove their armor than it would be if bulky armor was part of them.

Same with the PA, they could just be bigger monster robots but then that robot can only be used as a combat unit, instead of being able to just get out of his PA. Of course if i remember right Coursers already only work as killing machines but then again if someone happens to stumble upon a courser he can still pretend to just be a dude, harder to do that if it's a giant robot.

>>170427421
>synths are infiltrator
m8, have you really seen the gen 1 and 2 synths? They can't infiltrate shit.

>>170427421
I'd at least like the Gen 1s in Diamond City (post-INST ending) to be wearing the PA, pretty much just as a "look at this shit, faggots" display to the wastes

>>170427243
Not him but what about Gen 3s? Maybe synth armor was developed for them and since they're slowly phasing out older gens (thus not actively developing them) it's an easy way to improve them.

Agreed about PA, which is why it's not in game. I like this >>170427105 idea that it was built for construction though.

>took a long break from f4 in the middle of Nuka world come back and finish it
Holy crap what a let down. What were they thinking.

>>170427470

Maybe not infiltrate but if they were using helmets and didn't speak they could stand around and observe and no one would know they're a synth. I don't remember the difference between Synths 1 and 2 to be honest though, i just know 3 are the ones that are indistinguishable from humans and i guess 1s are the ones that look like synths without skin and 2 i guess are like Nick? I don't remember.

>>170427369
I am not objecting to heavy Synths. But I would not use the PA mechanics for them.

>>170427421
>>170427495
Cursors could, and probably do, use subcutaneous armor plates.

>>170427495
I've always thought the settlement stuff should have an element of construction bots and/or a general human workforce, as in to say, there would be a time-lapse after building and said lapse would be longer/shorter depending on the amount of workers helping on the project

synths wearing said PA would be a great boon for such a thing for Institute characters and it would help go a ways at showing the Institute helping rebuild the surface somewhat post-their ending

it's a shame I'm still balls-deep on a NV mod project I've been working on on-and-off for a year, or I'd be making this shit right now

>>170427612

Well maybe not literal power armor, but since they are so advanced that you would think they would have some form of equivalent.

>>170427484
>Gen 1s in Diamond City
Wait what? Is that a thing? I've never seen it.

>>170427542
We had MASSIVE negative feedback about the lack of evil choices in the base game.

Let's make this DLC enterely about being evil, since we had so many complaints about it.

Enterly missing the point that the complaints were about the lack of CHOICE.

>>170427612
Nah, the Institute does not do cybernetics. Courses are merely expert-trained synths (which are indistinguishable from regular humans, sans synth component.

>>170427710
That would be interesting for building large things, like pre-made houses, nuclear generators or big water purifiers. Would make for a cool mod.

You are not wrong, but here's the important part. That, is not as cool as this.

>>170427918
I'm the anon who is saying it would be cool on synths summoned by coursers and also for construction efforts, I was just pointing out they're probably kitted out with ""something"" to help prevent lead poisoning

>>170427918
Yea, OK. That should be in the game. Instead, we got double hp bars and a shitty flaming shader effect.

>>170428020
>>170427918

You know what would be cool? If armor teleported on top of them when they entered combat, like those red cultists in Oblivion.

>>170427883
>If the Institute ending is given, an Institute flag will be put up, indicating that the residents of Diamond City consider the Institute to be better than they thought they were. Also, gen 1 synths will walk around the Diamond City Market, if the Sole Survivor communicates with them, they inform them that they're here to spread the presence of The Institute. Diamond City security will comment saying that the synths suddenly appeared but they weren't causing any disruption or trouble, so they let them stay. Some will be crafting weapons/armor while other synths may be browsing different stores in the market.
>Myrna, who seemed to previously have a paranoia to synths, would let them browse her store and will no longer comment on hating synths.

What the actual fuck. I've sided with the Institute 3 times already and I've never seen this shit. Damn. I guess I never went back to Diamond City after finishing the main quest before.

>>170427918
I've never seen that before, is it official concpet art? Looks very badass.

>>170428115
This is a great idea.

Anyone else think Fallout 5 should just completely strip away all the rpg elements and be a straight-up FPS?

>>170428186

>I've never seen that before, is it official concpet art? Looks very badass.

Don't think so, i found it on deviantart, i just googled "Institute power armor"

http://hammk.deviantart.com/art/power-armor-concept-594350955

>>170428232
Yes, only for how butthurt everyone here would be.

>>170428232

No, but i do think they should give up on trying to make an RPG. What i mean by that is that every game has RPG elements, and if Fallout 5 took away things like perks for example, i think it would be worse for it.

>>170427918

Tbh, that looks a lot like white Enclave armor with a different helmet, and no vision in the chest area

Which is basically what the end-game Institute armor was...not saying it wasn't lazy, but the resemblance to it is kinda easy to spot. Only thing different is the helmet, and the IDE cable looking things on the arms.

>>170428186
There is institute power armor concept art and it looks fucking retarded.

>>170428232
Nope! I think they should re-implement traits as they're a key part of defining your character, I'd like for the same to happen to skills and tagged skills, but I don't see that happening; bring back DT/DR combo of JSawyer Mod; have abundant perk (in lieu of skills) checks in conversations, whilst having fun perks that aren't stat-boosters and save the stat-boosting boring shit for magazines; r e m o v e voiced protagonists as it's a shit tier idea and also go back to a wedge of conversation options instead of a measly four

I'd like ammo types back, too, but the game doesn't need to revert from ARPG back to RPG to be able to do that

>>170428436
see the link in >>170426764

also, it's the most stylish PA the series has ever seen
>you can't turn around
it doesn't seem like a combat model and also, it's probably got cameras or some shit

>>170428436
I know about that one, it really looks like it was made for building underground.

>>170428232
It would get boring fast. What makes Fallout so fun is the roleplay you customise your character with gear and perks to fit a theme.
I hope they realise half the fun is getting unique gear and faction gear and add more of that.

>>170428436
it looks like an environmental suit which is perfectly fine
not suited for throwing on synths and coursers though

>>170428232
Bethesda wouldn't be able to hand it anyway. They'd still find a way to include bullet sponges and let the player tank 50 grenades worth of damage somehow. Their RPGs may be shitty and getting worse every iteration, but it's all they know.

why are there THREE fucking fallout generals

I hear he's had a lot of trouble since the engine isn't built for vehicles.

Is there a mod that makes the Fallout 4 compass/minimap thing look more like the one from Fallout 3/New Vegas? Or at least makes it better looking?

I feel like it's very cluttered and has an unnecessary amount of different icons.

Unrelated, so I apologise, but man, I fucking hate the legendary system, it's easily my worst addition to the series that 4 brought with it

>>170433928
I only dislike the farming system. Mods that allow you to remove a legendary from one weapon and put it onto another one make it way better as it makes it into another fun customization option allowing you to create your own funny weapons. I actually like the irradiated flame thrower.

>>170431472
I looked at some videos, it looks reasonable, considering the engine.

>>170433928
This >>170434058 and the one that adds a legendary to boss chests make it pretty ok.

Are two shot flamers possible?

>>170433928
it's terrible for so many reasons
dumb enemies regening health and auras
skyrim enchantments in fallout
terribly overpowered enchantments as an excuse not to add ammo types
terribly useless enchantments so you're gambling on whether the game becomes a pushover after you kill that legendary mole rat with a fat man in its stomach

>>170435532
Yes, but the damage increase seems not worth it from my test compared to some other legendaries like the Furious. Also the flames seem... "heavier" ? When I shot it, it looked like instead of the stream going forward it started dropping almost right away despite using the long range nozzle.

I will need to do some further testing.

>>170435572
I mostly dislike how not-tangible it comes across in its implementation, there's no visible mechanical reasons for why the items do the fluff effects that they do, they just do them and it sucks

I'd prefer they abandoned the idea, but failing that, at least make it look like it does X or Y and not just be the exact same item with an effect plopped on, Fallout isn't supposed to be out-the-ass like TES

>>170435012
Well, there's always Unique Uniques, More Uniques etc.
Not sure if there's a mod that disables legendaries alltogether, but it probably isn't that hard to do.

I do agree that its a shame they went this route instead of doing uniques, but its understandable in the context of the rest of the game design.

>>170436019
There is a legendary disabling mod, both for items and spawns, I used it on my launch playthrough as luckily someone else immediately hated the system like I

>>170435572
>dumb enemies regening health and auras
The should've just used a stimpak, that was extremely stupid of Bethesda. It really shows how they wanted to make this game an mmorpg.

>skyrim enchantments in fallout
Agreed, this >>170435851 would've been great but its impossible considering they would've had to add a ton of mods for every weapon.

>terribly overpowered enchantments as an excuse not to add ammo types
As if they considered adding different ammo types in the first place

>terribly useless enchantments so you're gambling on whether the game becomes a pushover after you kill that legendary mole rat with a fat man in its stomach
Its just the nature of an RNG system. They should've just reduced the number of possible legendaries to any particular wepaon and made it visually distinct mods like >>170435851 said.

Still something a modder can do, but I bet it'd be a lot of work.

I'm already deeply involved with Piper in my game. I think its been almost two in game years. I think at that point seeing synth Nora would just open old wounds and complicate things.

>>170439719
>>170439741
lol no. The Institute has to be destroyed at all costs. The ability to produce potentially better humans at a button's press is too dangerous to exist.

That said, the Synths themselves are nothing more than slaves at the moment. The problem is they might seize the means of production and overwhelm their human masters.

Which is how I justify my BoS playthrough, >>170437859

>>170439967
And even if you completely destroy the Institute, some future group could reverse engineer their tech from the synths themselves, which is why killing them is justifiable.

>>170439967
Synths are not humans they are like the most advanced stealth assaultrons ever made. They have stolen a persons identity. You have to kill them to find the evidence of their existance.
Though this is a plothole since they have an artifical component there should be some way of scanning Synths. Maybe it doesn't exist yet in the Commonwealth.

>>170440141
>>170439525
Personally I think that calling something 'alive' is less useful than calling something sapient. There are various sapient robots in fallout that seem to have their own independent lives and self determination.

Personally I would say that the best way to do it is what is implied by the Automatrons with their personality subroutines, they're not bound to obey your every whim but they have a deep instinct to serve you and please you.

There's nothing wrong with creating artificial life that instinctively wishes to serve and would not harm us, that's not slavery.

>Synths are not humans they are like the most advanced stealth assaultrons ever made
This is exactly how I described Gen 2s in my in game journal, haha

Not all Gen 3s have a stolen person's identity though, only the ones used to replace people. The Institute/Railroad liberated ones have their own personality.

I also think it's a plot hole, you could just X-Ray someone (there are X-Rays on the Prydwen) and look for the Synth component.
A counter argument is that maybe the Institute predicted this and have the Synth component be untraceable until the person's death.

>>170440521
This is not what's happening to the Synths. Codsworth and others, sure. Synths, not so much. Gen 3s are visibly scared of Institute Scientists and Coursers, and are frightened by the thought of receiving a mind wipe or reprogramming.

It's just Bethesda's shitty storytelling. Shaun used Kellogg for a long time, then woke you up in the Vault and had you kill him.
This is his own act of rebellion. I mean, he gets you to be the next leader of the Institute, clearly he's not that indocrinated.

In the end, the Institute in your hands it really can be the best choice for the Commonwealth.

I hope we revisit The Pitt some time this series and equally, that they canonise siding with Ashur (he did nothing wrong, remember), so we can see its newfound industry and economy ourselves

Hell, go full blown and set it in a time period where the baby has grown up and is in charge herself

>>170440915
I think the fact that the advanced Synths have somesort of espionage history or obviously would have won the espionage war with China in the setting. Anyway the clue is in the secret intelligence base there is a wall diagram that shows the evolution of robot models into assaultrons.
The assaultron was added into the game to show the proto-synth humanoid then gen 1, 2 and 3.
The component plot hole maybe explained in that the Institute is the only technologically advanced faction in the region able to detect the component. They certainly can do it but no one else has the expertise.

>>170441317
How did he wake you up, anyway? Did he just send someone to open your pod and run away really fast?

>>170441448
The science team probably added a remote failsafe on the first visit where they abducted Shaun, which he then used in the future

>>170440865

Castle not the comfiest? Really?
Still pissed I need to side with the MM to get all its features though.

>>170441448
This is actually a bit of a problem in the story, and is one of the reasons why having the SS be a synth would be great (but that's another story).

In the Vault, everyone but you is dead because the life support of their pods malfunctioned. So, either he killed everyone but you (he has no reason to do this) or by the time he discovered he had a terminal disease and wanted free you, only you were alive (for some reason).

Something like >>170441631 said is the most likely option, if you read the terminals in the Vault it says there was a remote control system for the pods, Vault-Tec was supposed to monitor the experiment remotely after a few months. He probably just tapped into that.

>>170441317

That kinda makes sense, and I've seen youtube videos that talk about it, but what about the super mutants? Was he trying to be so bad that the Institute banished him?

>>170442002
Castle is almost certainly the comfiest, but it's not the coolest

Underground Bond villain labs and giant airships are cool, tho

>>170442009
DiMA calls you a synth because the only memories you can bring up as "earliest thing I can recall" are either right before the bomb fells or waking up from cryo.

>>170442009
I honestly assumed it was both what I said in regards to a remote failsafe, but with the other vault dwellers being shut off so the system could keep you alone alive for longer until just the right time for Shaun to thaw you out to help with his plans

Srill mad start me up didnt touch far harbor

>>170443060
Does the author plan to, do you know?

>>170443042
It just doesn't feel like a small FEV virus could turn about 1/3 of bostons population into supermutants. Was there a mass bombing im unaware of? I thought FEV was contained.

>>170443184
Oh no, anon, they're Institute born, they used FEV in synth production and any reject muties were dumped on the surface

>>170442214
But here's the plothole: why would the Institute leave you alive in particular? Anyone in that Vault was fair game for their needs. Why leave it to Vault-Tecs shitty systems at all, instead of bringing everyone to the Institute?

Your idea makes sense (Shaun prioritizing your pod vs everyone else's), but it's the Institutes original logic that was flawed.

Gives more reason for him to be rebelious though "look at how incompetent my predecessors are, these people have been shut-ins for too long, we need a new perspective here".

Too bad none of this is explored in the base game. All we get is a throwaway line from Shaun about having his revenge with Kellogg.

>>170442095
Nah, Bethesda just wanted to have Super Mutants in the game and that's that.
Shaun has no motivation for this. He actually covers up the fact that the experiments weren't yielding results by locking down that section of the Institute.
Presumably everyone down there was a-ok with kidnapping people and turning them into mutties "for science", but when it's pointless it crosses a line (the reason Virgil left).
A similar plot hole exists regarding Kellogg's augmentations.

>>170442169
That's just bad storytelling again. It's one of the big problems with Far Harbor: DiMA can't actually tell who's a synth and who's not. I mean, literally everyone in Acadia is confirmed a synth, with the component and everything. Yet they all talk about how anyone could be a synth, its impossible to tell etc. How come EVERYONE but Kasumi is actually a synth? It's impossible to have that ratio of 99% synths without a method of identifying them.

Worse, if you go to the Institute and talk to the guy added by the DLC, he doesn't confirm if she is a synth or not, implying even the Institute can't tell.

So you know, its a cool line from DiMA, but it falls apart if you put 2 seconds of thought into it.

It would be great if it were true though. Synth Shaun goes against the Institute's beliefs about synths not being human. Shaun leaving him with you so you can "have the chance we never had" implies he had a sudden change of heart and believes synths are human.

This could've been built upon massively, with you being a synth secretly made by Shaun without a component or a recall code. Just imagine it, you get there, introduce yourself to everyone, they all belive you to be fully human.
Then drops the bomb and reveals that he wants you to be the director. They all reluctantly agree, get to know better and respect you more.

Then he reveals to everyone (yourself included) that you're a synth, completely turning the Institute's perspective of synths around. There could be another faction within the Institute that rejects this, so maybe you could side with them if you believed yourself to be no better than a toaster.

There's a review on YouTube that explained this in more detail (as well as correctly broke down this game and all of its flaws) if you're interested I can find it, beware its like 2 hours long though.

I'm surprised more people aren't using Endless Warfare, it's literally the best mod.

>>170443449
I think it's just the systems failing from lack of maintenance and you getting lucky, as is usual for FO, really.
As for the Institute not killing you, well, they call you a back-up.

>>170443753
Your idea sounds way better, desu.
As for the 99% being synths, I thought that was either from escaping the institute and knowing, or the Railroad's memory wipe not actually being that good.

>>170443449
I think it's in character for the Institute.

For all their high talk of being the future of mankind they really aren't actually doing anything of value. They're running their experiments but only a small number of the stuff we see would have any practical application, which they never get around to employing. Their end state isn't even a real victory it's just a maintaining of the status quo where they will continue puttering away with their experiments not doing anything productive.

So messing around with FEV for no real reason beyond scientific curiosity makes sense for them.

>>170443449
>at least we have the backup - Kellogg
I imagine you were chosen as said backup due to your service history and "being of capable stock" (sorry fellow Nora's, but Nate is the obvious canon), but since it's way easier to get the necessary DNA from a completely passive child than it is from a potentially hostile parent/adult, they left you on ice in case, I dunno, they dropped the baby on his head leaving the vault - not really, but you get the idea - I agree it's all a bit hokey, but I'm able to justify it in a way that I can't with, say, Little Lamplight

What is the point of the Builder? All items it creates are useless

>>170442095
>>170443449
Had they changed the terminal entries just slightly it could've been fixed though. Make the Super Mutant research a legacy from the past and have one (or more) of the division heads pressuring him to keep it going, even if it wasn't giving new results. Finally when Virgil snaps they're forced to accpet the end of the program. This would be another reason for him to be rebellious.

>>170443893
It would be usual if they all failed, just yours in particular sitll working is dumb. I like >>170442214's idea that Shaun redirected the other's life support system to keep just you alive.

Also, that can't be it. Their message is that its a safe haven for everyone, and yet there's only synths there?

>>170443958
They're not that incompetent, even synth gorillas are a useful line of research.

>no real reason beyond scientific curiosity
Except the whole reason Virgil left is that the experiments were pointless. They weren't modifying FEV and seeing what happened, they were just dipping people and dogs into it, having the same results every time, and that was it.

>>170443995
What does that have to do with it? They're dealing with pre-war people here, and they have teleporters. They could just teleport people into the Institute and I highly doubt any of them would rebel. Life in the Institute is pretty sweet next to the wasteland.

Is there any mod that makes food you drop into the workshop display as actual fucking food?

I think its fucking retarded how I have to plant a bunch of trees when I have about 200 food just sitting in my inventory. Wtf were they thinking?

>>170444586
You think a pair of pre-war adults with, seemingly strong, morals, would abide with the shit the Institute are up to at that point? I'd reckon it's unlikely in the case of a Bethesda lead character (RE: The Goodie)

>>170444742
It works perfectly fine without mods. The food stat will turn red, if there is not enough food for a day in the workbench/network. The settlers will sill complain, but it will have no negative impact on happiness as long as it's not red.

>>170444956
Well the settlers complaining is the worst fucking thing..

>>170443995
Also, Nora was originally supposed to have been a war veteran just like Nate. There's even a mod that restores her dialogue:
http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/16817/?

>>170444896
What about the other dozens of people frozen in the Vault? Also why couldn't they just get the DNA from the frozen people? Not that hard, really.

>>170445163
Some kind of lazy Fallout "SCIENCE!" vs. Science writing where it's easier for them to work with a similar DNA strain for the synth project? I dunno, I think there's umpteen trillion holes in FO4s gameplay, writing and everything in between, but this stuff is much easier to swallow and sweep aside than other such stuff

Nate>Nora

Anyone who plays as nora is a cancerous waifu fag and needs to be hung

>>170445391
So much wrong, so little post

>>170445381
Now that you said that I realise even Kellogg's line "at least we still have the backup" is shit, since they could easily grab DNA from Nora's body.

But yes this is one of the minor problems of the game.

I haven't used it yet (started a new game recently), but it sounds like it could help.

Also, do post pics of your atrium, last time I tried I utterly failed at making a decent looking one.

>>170450065
I don't mind it really, I just don't use much of it. It can sometimes be justified, like incendiary rounds, or just through the badassery of your protagonist letting you do incredible feats, and frankly there's a lot of unexplained things in the RPG elements that have been there forever, a lot of the perks are kinda inexplicable.

My personal favorite legendary was a western revolver that does bonus limb damage. I named it the 'Callahan Special' because it can take a raider's head clean off.

It just feels wrong to carry around two flamers, plus I don't recall Irradiated weapons doing radiation damage to mutants. I was thinking about a Crippling flamer, the size of the flame you shoot makes me think that perhaps it can hit multiple limbs, meaning that perhaps while it won't kill quicker you will be able to drop an enemy to the ground and stop him from shooting at you in a few poofs ?

Great screenshot by the way, yours ?

>>170451795
Never mind that irradiated weapons actually heal ghouls. An irradiated flamer heals and damages them at about the same rate on normal difficulty.

>>170451782
That's a nice design, gives me the idea to put streetlights in my atrium to help light it.

Though you should totally get a mod to make the lights use passive power rather than having to string wires everywhere.

>>170451795
>Finally, the game distinguishes between radiation immunity (present on e.g. Super mutants) and resistance (present in high quantities on e.g. Feral ghouls). This is important because some weapons do pure radiation damage that ignores radiation immunity; they are still however affected by radiation resistance, so these weapons will ironically do more damage to an "immune" target than one with high resistances.

This means that perhaps irradiated weapons deal damage to Super Mutants ? Or just the gamma gun ?

Is there any reason to play on survival bar increased difficulty?

>>170453306
no, that's pretty much the whole appeal

>>170453268
They do deal extra damage to Super Mutants, just not as much. And pure radiation weapons deal almost no damage to you when you are in a rad-suit or PA.

I am not sure about targeted weapons, but it should be possible to makes some sort of healing explosive. A targeted weapon would work for the healing part, but might make some targets hostile.

God damn it I just want that braid that literally no one else seems to have in their hair packs, and I want to not be bald if I decide I'd like to wear a hat that covers the hair slot. I'm not going to learn how to use Blender to do this UV mapping when it isn't a case of just folding the texture over it.

When you guys download weapon mods how do you play when starting a new game?

Do you use the weapon right from the get go or do you play the game first until a certain level or time in game and then obtain the mod weapon?

>>170464580
I would only use what was naturally available, or get a reasonable equivalent to what I started with, like another pistol or something. Past a certain point when I have enough money to buy anything I want I would usually just console spawn them in to save the hassle of tracking them down, but by that point I'd have most of it anyway.

>>170464580
Depends on how the mod adds it. If it's in a specific place I won't console it in or anything, but I might try to rush to get it. There was one that added a unique to Carla's vendor list. Saved up for it, bought it, then didn't have more than a handful of ammo at a time.

Oddly enough (or not really that odd I guess) the only weapon mods I have for NV were added as part of quest mods, so of course I can't use those until I get far enough in the quests.

>>170465565
Because when you've added a ton of weapons to the game, finding them in a vendor inventory gets less likely so this is a way to just get your hands on it while still paying for it.

>>170465756

pretty sure they are the equivalent of (nowadays) special forces and the counterpart of the frumentarii

>>170467873
Sort of, their traditional role was more like a militia than anything else, roaming the wasteland hunting down bad guys, they're tough fighters but mostly revered for their field craft, tracking and survival skills more than being really powerful professional operators.

I mean they mostly use lever action rifles and revolvers, they're mainly long range sharpshooters rather than what most people generally think of as special forces.

Any means of changing keybindings for the GECK? Google is yielding no results.

>>170469328
Which mod were you blocked from, and also, what mod has the particular braided hair you like? Fh hairs, Megaton Hairs, Nouk & Apachii? Reading a thread on nexus for the Megaton hairs, zzjay is really going off that EGMs don't do anything because of a change to the NIF, but the only thing that would affect is if they removed the Hat low-poly hair mesh from the NIFs in the first place (because the general process of porting hairs was taking a vanilla nif, deleting the NoHat mesh, and replacing it with the ported hair (using the Hat mesh as a rough guide).

I dunno, its stupid though. The main thing is how the game won't read loose EGM files, that really makes hair modding a pain in the ass.

Megaton hairs. The NIF in question still has the hat mesh. Easy enough to grab the EGM for that specific mesh and package up all the files, don't even need to use the Configurator. Got that to work. But as I said there in the thread you're reading the hat mesh (that shows up correctly when the EGM is added) isn't mapped to use the new hair texture. Since the texture is mostly in long strips and all.

ALMOST got Blender to cooperate. Couldn't find half of the buttons the guide was talking about, but I pressed something and suddenly the hair bit was being tiled on the unfolded mesh.
https://afkmods.iguanadons.net/index.php?/topic/4022-skyrim-blender-basics-add-materials-and-textures-to-nifs/
I was using the package of the correct tools and versions from the Oblivion nexus, but the menus don't quite line up. I don't know where to find anything anyway.

It's hilarious though that it's so easy to do what she's refusing to do and making up excuses for not putting effort into that someone who hasn't touched Blender before could figure it out.

>>170474389
What makes it funnier is like I also pointed out is that Mikoto's manages to map the same texture to like 10 different meshes at a time, including the hat mesh.

Was this you? What do you mean by this, exactly? And what is the main problem now, is it the hat hair is appearing and fitted, but a wonky texture now?

Yes.

And like someone pointed out, the game makes a distinction between radiation immunity, resistance, and damage dealt. Super Mutants aren't really much of a threat with an irradiated flamer, and if you don't want to carry two flamers, I tend to prefer using an axe or hammer on feral ghouls anyway.

>>170476232
"Hairline" referring to the hat trishape, taken from a vanilla hair. If you look at the textures applied to it, it uses vanilla assets. It even still has part of the vanilla name. The texture a hair uses is set in the GECK. You can set it in the NIF, but the GECK will overrule it.

So because of the GECK, the hair texture from the mod gets applied to the hat part of the mesh. But because that part is 100% vanilla, of course the texture won't fit. It's like those weird mapping problems you get if you install a body replacer wrong.

Pic related. The blue part is the part that, with an EGM, will show when you put on a hat. This is after I applied the hair mod's textures to it. It wraps the texture around the mesh as if it were the vanilla hair texture. So yes, that's the problem, it's a wonky texture now.

They look like they came out of one of zzjay's mods.

>>170476832
Okay, so, this is why the texture is wonky. On the left you have the hair texture from the mod, which is being applied to both parts of the mesh, the hat and nohat. On the right is what the hat part is expecting to find. So it's applying a cut-out of the new one in the shape of the old one.

How/when/why did the GECK override that texture file, though? That doesn't happen to any of mine, the Arterton.nif file I got, the Hat block still uses the vanilla textures. Why don't you just reset the texture in NifSkope then save the nif?

textures\characters\hair\HairMessy01.dds
textures\characters\hair\HairMessy01_n.dds
textures\characters\hair\HairMessy01_hl.dds

Always make sure they are in that order, to avoid the saran-wrap plastic shine hair.

Can somebody explain Bloodworms to me?


They do horrible damage.

The dust cloud they make is visible from orbit.

They ragdoll for five to ten seconds when they leave the ground.

No, no, the textures were the original ones. I manually replaced them to demonstrate what it looks like in game, and how it happens. The GECK replaces HairMessy01.dds with arterton.dds and so on.

>>170478849
Yes, there is no reason for the game to override that, though. Every other hair is the same way with only the one texture listed for it's game entry. The only thing I can think of is maybe the EGM file is wonky, how did you create it? I mentioned an idea of forcing a Hat-only egm via an edited NIF in the Conformulator, that might've caused some wierd issue.

>>170478682
You know, I'd like to see arms like this added as Automatron parts, so we could give robot companions regular guns. Probably really more difficult than that but it would be neat I think.

so whats /fog/s concensus on augmentations/implants?

>>170481546

>>170477241
The EGM is just fine. Only one texture can be used by a hairstyle. The one texture in this case doesn't "fit" when it's applied.
