Scrambled text inventory

Post by **UltimateGamerKilla** » Tue Jul 04, 2017 3:51 am

So what is happening is that when I leave the Pitt tunnels after finishing it. I go over to a container so I can put stuff into it since I'm Over encumbered, But all my items are squished into one selection and can't select a thing into it. But luckily I can leave the inventory screen but when I try to go to the menu screen it takes a long time to happen. And the Text scramble thing also happens with talking with people and trying to fast travel which all the options are smushed into one selection and can't select a thing. I have NMM version 0.63.14, 64 bit operating system, intel core i3-6100 CPU @ 3.70GHz, a installed memory of 16 GB, Fallout 3 is game of the year edition ( Steam downloaded ) , Feel free to ask any other questions if you have any.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Well, for one thing, you have too many plugins. You need to pare that down below 135 or so, INCLUDING inactive mods. The most I've ever gotten to work with TTW is 138 or so. Roy could tell you exactly why, but you still need to either get rid of and/or merge enough to get it down below that.

Ok so I've got it down to at most 135 active plugins but I can't seem to find any way to get rid of unused/unwanted plugins. But thanks for the advice!

If you're using ModOrganizer, I'm not sure inactive mods are an issue. Of course, if you're using MO, that might be the issue at all. Some of us here can't use MO with TTW - I can't. If you're using MO, trying installing the HUD/UI mods manually instead of through MO. Some mods actually have to be physically in the game data directory, not in a virtual data directory built by MO.

If you're not using MO, delete the inactive mods from the data directory.

I'm actually using Nexus mod manager ( I said what type of mod manger I was using in the red text on the first post ). Thanks anyway for the adivce. But should I stick with NMM or use MO?

Mod Organizer is not an issue I use Mod Organizer and so do many others with TTW and a lot of us prefer to use Mod Organizer for a whole host of reasons over NMM or FOMM.

To the OP I see you are using the mod A Reasoned Argument which is a Fallout 3 mod that hasn't been converted to work with Tale of Two Wastelands and if it was converted it probably was for an older version of TTW and doesn't work anymore. My advice first check your mods to see if they are compatible with Tale of Two Wastelands. If it's a Fallout 3 mod it needs to be converted to work with TTW. Also keep in mind some New Vegas mods don't work with Tale of Two Wastelands. Next use FNVEdit to check for conflicts between your various mods and don't forget to make a merge patch using FNVEdit and have that at the bottom of your load order.

I haven't started digging through the game data yet- that's a ways off, but it almost looks (kinda stabbing in the dark here) like somehow the dialog text in the esp/esm records are not in the format the game is expecting, or an xml (used often time to display text on the screen) file is missing or not what the game expects.

My thoughts as well, specially because many UI/HUD mods do not use an esp or esm.

UltimateGamerKilla, You do have UIO installed I assume?

Somebody oughta do a topic teaching peeps how to troubleshoot their modded installs, might do it if I feel that I know enough (dunno how much until getting there), and have time to write such. Would probably be best after 3.0, though the method(s) aren't likely to change much, if at all.

If by a UIO you mean a User Interface Organizer. Then I do not. Also on a total side note the scrambled text sort of fixed it's self, I have no idea what I did to fix it but I'm not complaining. And thanks to the people who told me to use FOmod i've now been able to delete the plugins I don't use!
