Chinese pistol has always been 9mm in TTW. Real life Mauser is 9mm, but it's a Shanxi chinese copy however that is chambered for .45ACP which is HH added and not really around the wasteland without a mod like CaliberX, so 9mm is the best choice.

And, if anyone wonder why Chinese weapons using NATO caliber (rather than Russians), the answer is simple:



They are deployed behind enemy lines, so they are equipped with Chinese weapons specially modified/manufactured to use NATO ammo in order to replenish ammo from the enemy.

This is a major update that has updated the Fallout 3 esms to plugin version 1.34 (old is .94). This includes complete refinalization of all navmeshes and door links, of which door links are persistent in save games. There is no way to really clean them out and save game editors are hacky at best and will completely corrupt your save at worst.

This also makes any mods which add doors or alter existing ones incompatible. Any mods which such things will need updating to use the new plugin versions. Fortunately nothing this major will occur in the future, so further updates will no longer require extensive plugin updates. Fortunately most mods converted which have such things have been performed by myself so most of the work falls on me. There are a few more which will also require this.

So pretty much any home or mod with an interior (shops, dungeons) will need to be run through the script... that's not too bad.

[RoyBatty]

Well the script doesn't fix that stuff, only formids and references. The rest has to be done in GECK as usual.

The number of skill books will remain the same in the DC portion of the game? 5 books each plus the four each in NV makes extremely easy to reach 100 in every skill.

How about put the same number as NV, 4 for each skill + Paradise Lost.

 

BTW... I'm totally against mods that removes Paradise Lost from the game, it's not because of the points, the book itself has his own charm, most of the time I don't even use it, I put it in my desk. :)

I use the mod to give it a unique cover (it's a painting from Gustave Doré for those wondering):

Paradise lost is not removed.

1/2 the books have been replaced by magazines since a long time. I plan to make that selectable and have the books in both wastelands give 1 point each or 2 with comprehension like in Fallout 3. I never use magazines myself, so I'd rather the permanent stat boost.

[EnderDragonFire]

Ohh! Yeah! Make it selectable! My personal philosophy is that the more options, the better. I personally want all the books, becausze I usually never GO to NV when I play TTW.

Really? I use magazines all the time, they are great at the beginning when you are focusing your skills and very good later, when your skills are already high but you want to raise another skill, not wasting points to reach 100.

I never raise my lockpick skill to 100 for that reason, specially if I pick Comprehension.

But this is game style, everybody has their own. ;)

 

Now to other questions. I noted only recently that I cannot craft darts with the meltdown poison for the Dart Gun, only the poisons from NV. Is this right?

Also I remember one comment of yours saying that in TTW 3.0 we won't have anymore FNV weapons in DC (pretty much like in Nevada we don't find FO3 weapons). This means that we have to bring weapons, ammo and weapon mods with us when traveling from Nevada to DC?

[Deathclaw_Mayor16]

I'm looking forward to the optional that turns the magazines into skill books.Because unless you start in New Vegas,the magazines are honestly kinda worthless in DC.Fallout 3 doesnt have that many skill checks.And New Vegas changed how repair works so the repair magazine is pretty worthless.That optional is something I'm anticipating.

[RoyBatty]

The Dart Gun has been fully fixed and has new poisons, and all poisons work. There is a poison which acts like the original dart gun effect also. Puppettron did some awesome work getting it to function like we wanted it to.

As for Books/Mags yes people have different play styles, so we want to cater to both.

As for weapons, yes there are still NV weapons in DC. What there is not is cowboy type weapons, the NCR rifle, Gun Runners stuff or DLC stuff. That's specific to the West Coast. As for DC stuff in NV we'll address that later when it's decided what kind of NV options we want. It will probably be limited to the generic military weapons and .22/.32 stuff. No DLC weapons.
