Is Fallout 3's main menu possible in FNV/TTW?

Post by **EnderDragonFire** » Sun Apr 16, 2017 2:47 am

So. This was asked, along with several other quesitons back in 2015, here:

https://taleoftwowastelands.com/content/hi-ttw-community-and-some-questions-regarding-ttw

However, it was never specifically answered. I am frankly surprised this has not been asked a million times. The question is this; is it possible to fully and accurately recreate Fallout 3's main menu sequence, including slideshow and moving pictures, in New Vegas? Or is that simply beyond the scope of what modding can accomplish?

Another, separate, similar question; can Fallout 3's loading screens be replicated? With stats and all?

I ask because it seem to me that these little touches are really what makes Fallout 3 seem like an actual fully-fleshed game. TTW is great, and objectively superior to Fallout 3 in dozens of ways, but has always lacked these neat widgets, and I don't quite know why nobody had made a mod adding them yet.

Thanks,

Dont think it's possible.I think New Vegas's start up sequence is hard coded.The Loading screens might be possible however.

Shame. Thanks for the answer though.

I have tried already, and yeah it seems to be hard coded even though nif's exist for the effects. Changing them makes 0 difference in game, I have tried already.

It's enough for me to just replace the screens - I never pay any attention to the stats. There's a thread around here somewhere with a bunch of art for replacing the various screens. You just need to name them the right name and put them in the right place in the data folder to use them... and maybe change a few from jpg/png into dds using something like .Paint or GIMP.

Oh well. I wonder why Obsidian bothered to remove those features entirely, rather than just disable them; seems like a waste of effort.

They are there, no one has bothered to hook them up yet. I will in the future, load screens are low priority.

Got it! Thanks for the info. I can rest easy knowing I am not the only one bugged by this.
