MMM-Hardened TTW

[poopoopapa]

I would first like to thank the TTW team for their efforts.  This is really what I've been hoping for.

I am currently in the process of converting MMM for TTW use.  I am painstakingly changing all MMM errors in accordance with TTW's Fallout3.esm formids.  Then there are the scripts to recompile.  Then there is plain testing.  I would like it if others assisted in said testing, and I will be making the mod public at this point for testing/enjoyment purposes.

I will also be releasing a hardened addon for MMM that has some if not all of the creature features from FNV's Hardened mod.  I may also incorporate the MCM menu, but don't hold your breath.  I have other mod plans as well, which you can see below.

Further plans:

-Book perks from FO3 conversion to address the book issue.  This is also to address the surfeit of skills available in both games. DONE 11/28/12 See this post http://www.taleoftwowastelands.com/comment/1566#comment-1566

-Epic level challenges and monster scaling in both FNV and FO3 via IWS and MMM.  Both games suffer from a lack of challenge in higher levels, which is partially attributed to ridiculous player damage scaling but mostly due to zero scaled enemies outside of FNV expansions.

 

That's it for now.  I should have a beta version of MMM out by Sunday at earliest and Monday at latest.  Look to this thread for more info.  Spread the word, also.  I may create a nexus page, but I'm not entirely sure that would be a smart idea.

 

Also, a request.  I am aiming at recreating many of the reasons why I enjoyed modded FO3 so much, i.e. WMX-EVE-FWE-MMM.  Naturally some of these mods may not be necessary considering FNV mods, such as Project Nevada and FNV EVE.  Can someone tell me if classic fallout weapons pack for FNV works in the capital wasteland?  Does EVE function correctly?  Has anyone tried ammo packs like CASE?  I really want to recreate the scarcity of desired ammunition that FWE introduced. Update 11/28/12 : Classic Fallout Weapons works and combines well with Project Nevada and Project Nevada: Extra Options to create a very FWE-style  environment.

Is Martigen even active in the modding scene anymore? Someone else keeps MMM for FCOM up to date, and he never made anything for New Vegas or Skyrim.

[poopoopapa]

No, he's not.  I have grandfathered permission from him to use any of his assets in future projects, though.  Not really sure if he's ever going to do anything again.

I can't express how happy I was to see that someone was even attempting this. Sadly, as of this post I don't have the rig to do any sort of proper testing.



I assume you plan on integrating monsters from MMM into the Mojave where they fit (eventually)?

[dmcgee627]

MMM had Geckos in it right? Are you going to use the NV gecko models for it, or keep the MMM ones for DC?

[Darkersun]

Having a FWE + MMM gameplay for both games together would be awesome.

The only thing I didn't like is that it increase the number of different weapons to much.

(Just my opinion)

You project sounds amazing.

[poopoopapa]

My initial plan was to simply convert the MMM from FO3 to TTW.  This is currently a success.  I could upload the changed esps and esm, but really, the conversion listed in the FAQ is enough.  Just follow those directions and MMM will work.

 

FWE on the other hand...Too many scripts to debug.  What I am doing for now is just PN and another mod called game settings tuner.  I am also using Classic Fallout Weapons for FNV to increase the amount of weapons and ammo types in the game.

MMM geckos are remaining MMM geckos.  I think the separation between the two wastelands should be kept where it can.  I do plan to harden the Ants, the mutants, the mirelurks and many of the other creatures in the future, however.

My bashed patch is only used to combine the leveled lists and formid lists.  No other bashed options, including merged patches, are selected as crashing occurred.  I want to add more mods, but I am reaching the limits of my hard drive space(22gb+ for the game atm).

 

I have currently played up to the super duper mart with only one loading screen hang.  My initial settings were max MMM spawns, but I think I may lower this.

 

I did have to create a patch for EVE, WMX and TTW.  This made sure that EVE's effects applied to various weapons.  This takes a bit of work so I uploaded it here.

So do they work just as simple as changing the master with FO3edit, or have you made tweaks to them?

[poopoopapa]

Just make the master changes.  The only tweaks I made were to bookperks.esp, which had the old Fallout3 SmallGunsSkill stuff and the BigGuns skillbook.  The latter might have been removed completely from the game by TTW, but I wasn't sure.  I changed the script to simply give XP based on your (guns+energyweapons+explosives skill/3) and a pre-war book.

And are you using the old version of Project Beauty or the one currently on the Nexus?
