Fallout: New Vegas!

[guitarfreaknation]

Ok I've started a new game and encountered a bug. When I do the quest for the nightskin Davison, after I find out about the shipment of stealthboys, when I go to his room to tell him, as soon as I click E, he starts attacking me. Any thoughts?

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

happened to me too. maybe its because you let the ghoul go or somethin?

I let him go last time and it was ok.

 

[ShiBDiB]

I shot the ghoul in the face and the quest worked fine... scared the crap out of me cause when i was leaving i had 2 cloakers walk right infront of me on their way out of the basment

Good performance/tweak thread at overclock.net including some DX9 fix. I didn't delve too deep as I don't own this game yet.

I think I'm going to try out that d3dx9.dll fix mentioned.

I have only played for some 3 hours and thought I had no problems... till I went to the NCR Mojave Outpost, as soon as there came more than 4 or 5 NPC's on the monitor my fps shot down to 20

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

just get the ATi dll fix and be done with it its on newvegas nexus it workst he same as the other dx9dll except it forces the use of ati shaders so all graphics options work etc

Ha, I got banned from Gahmorra. I played roulette up to about 1200 chips, then played blackjack up to about 2600 chips. I saved the game, then played the slots. I went down to 1400, then up 400 serveral times, then got two cherries and a bar (1000 chips), and right after that, 7 7 7 (6000 chips). It kicked me out of the slots with the manger saying I was banned. None of the tables work there anymore but I cashed in over 10,000 chips. 1000 chips I paid for, 50 chips were free from the quest. I wonder what specifically makes them give you the boot? Earnings over 5000 chips?

I'm gonna go knock up Tops and Ultra-Lux now.

 

[RevengE]

So how are the bugs? I heard it's worse than Fallout 3.

 

[Techtu]

... with the DLL fix, does that mean it's running in DX9?

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

it runs in DX9 no matter what god damn its like ppl cant think

if gamebryo is based on Net Immerse that would mean

if Morrowind id DX 8.1 and Oblivion is 9.0c using shader model 2,0 and fallout 3 also is using 9.0c with shader 2.0 then what would new vegas be??? if you guessed shader model 2.0 and thereby DX9 then DING DING DING we have a winner

sorry for being an ass ahead of time but it seems Obsidian broke some aspects of the fucking construction set so some textures can be replaced others cant currently power armor cannot have textures replaced currently ive yet to find a work around and its pissing me off greatly as instead of loading the proper texture it just loads the ground texture on the armor. I really wish Obsidian would just close there doors and off themselves theyve never managed to release a game that works right

I'd say about equal. The game is playable but you'll probably get annoyed a few times.


I got over 8000 chips from Tops (got 6000 again from the slots) and they gave me a private suite. That might mean I have two because I coerced Benny into giving me one. XD

I wonder how high the Tops will go before I get the boot...


Edit: Right after posting that, I got lemon + lemon + lemon which is an 8000 chip payout. Over 16000 chips at the Tops and I got banned. XD


Edit: Yup, I have the High-Roller suite and the Presidential Suite in the Tops with 40,000 caps in the pocket. Now it's time to milk Ultra-Lux.

I was thinking about picking it up tonight after work.

lol, thats great, but, did you get to keep the suites after being banned? And if so, thats kind of interesting, "no gambling, but you can live here".

Hopefully it's not a lifetime ban, would kind of suck to get banned everywhere and then not be able to gamble.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Yeah, you keep the suites and still have access to everything except the games.

Ultra-Lux cut off is at 15,000. You get a suite around 11,500. Now I got heavy pockets at 55,000. Ultra-Lux unfortunately doesn't have slots so I got via the old tricks in Blackjack + 10 Luck. XD


I don't think there is anywhere left for me to gamble. I don't know if it is lifetime but I got a feeling it is.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

Marine Power Armor Real Time render sadly New Vegas Geck still refuses to allow the use of my textures even after doing everything to a T i will be testing via Fo3 shortly to see if its a New Vegas issue only or if i borked something on my end which is highly unlikely at this point

 

[1Kurgan1]

Looks very cool, Steam Punk in color.

 

[TheMailMan78]

If you guys have a vision Ill be more then happy to lend my Photoshop skills.

 

[Stak]

that makes that armourmuch better looking nice one!

hehe i installed the faster walking mod. much better

I'm pretty sure it is shader model 4.0, having to be enabled for shader model 3 for troubleshooting, as mentioned directly by the INI files of the game:

"...fGamma=1.0000
bAllow30Shaders=0
iTexMipMapMinimum=0
bDoStaticAndArchShadows=0..."

From Tweakguides:
"bAllow30Shaders=0 - If set to 1, this option will allow (but not force) the use of Shader Model 3.0 on graphics cards which support it, namely Nvidia GeForce 6600 or newer, or ATI X1000 series or newer. This can potentially improve performance when using HDR rendering for example. However to force the actual use of 3.0 Shaders after making the above change, you will also need to check your RenderInfo.txt file, found under the same directory as your .ini files, and near the bottom the file check which shader package it uses (e.g. Shader Package : 13). Then go to the \\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3\Data\Shaders\ folder and rename that particular package to something else (e.g. rename shaderpackage013.sdp to shaderpackage013._bak. Now copy shaderpackage019.sdp and paste it back into the same directory, and rename this new copy to the package name your card uses (e.g. rename it to shaderpackage013.sdp in this example). This will supposedly force Fallout 3 to use the Shader Model 3.0 shaders in the game. In practice this doesn't appear to noticeably alter image quality or performance, so at best it might be used for troubleshooting purposes (Fallout.ini)."

It says troubleshooting, or do I have it backwards? I thought the newer one would be the slower one?

Hmm I reckon some black/really dark grey ninja looking armor would be cool

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

British SAS then Red Brotherhood of Steel last up is the Army Ranger Desert Combat T51-B power armor which is my favorite so far

Are you going to be sharing these to use in game?

it dosent work not all items in game have shader model 3.0 applied it results in say a helmet being invisible and causing your characters ears and hair to dissappear as well the game is Shader model 2.0b and thats it 3.0 is half assed and not used and since its DX9 ONLY as Oblivion Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas ARE console ports they have no use of DX10 aka Shader model 4,0 the game engine and its features are still 9.0 and since shader model 4.0 is DX10 and the game dosent use DX10 means 4,0 dosent exist for this game at all

and yes soon as a work around is found to allow the Textures to be applied in the GECK these will be made public but right now the Geck WILL NOT ALLOW THE TEXTURES to be applied to power armor at all period its why you will find 0 custom power armor mods for New Vegas so far but other armor mods work just fine Obsidian fucked something up currently so we all have to wait and it should be said but everyone is gonna have to wait for them to fix it

and another key note these textures are subject to change at any time i deem fit and are not finished versions only the Army Ranger Desert Combat is close to being finished the rest are all beta designs
