TTW 2.4a Released

[nathanj]

How horribly mangled would my game be if I used the Alternate Start mod?  There is an option to start right out of Doc Holiday's house.

So far I started it up and got the normal FO3 start (which caused me to have PTSD flashbacks LOL) and I am using lots of mods.  :D

Also, I am using the New Vegas NMC mod do I also have to dl the FO3 version like I did with EVE or do all the texture files retain their original names?  Thanks in advance and for all the incredible amount of work that must have gone into getting these game to mesh together like this.  Even if they share the same basic engine it could not have been easy by any stretch of the imagiation.  :D

I hope you guys eventually put this up on Nexus so that you can get a couple of FOTMs.

Very mangled.  Right now TTW only supports starting in one place - Vault 101.

As it says in the FAQ, install Fallout 3 NMC textures, then overwrite with the FNV NMC files.  If you already have the FNV version installed, you can just install the Fallout 3 version without overwriting any files.  Same idea.

Ok thanks.  Sorry I missed some of the FAQ stuff I have just been scouring various threads and read that Familiar Friend had to be disable till after 101 so I got it into my head that it was only certain mods that actually needed to be disabled from the get go.

I was curious about NMC because FNV uses the same assets (exceptions being stuff like Sunset Sasparilla and NCR/Legion textures) but all the roads and buildings and caves and sewers looked like the same textures in FO3.

Okay, solved not being able to patch the TaleOfTwoWastelands.bsa. It was actually quite simple: Run the installer with admin rights. Everything worked fine when I did that. Not shure why I didn't try that in the first place.

Step One of the install instructions say 'run as administrator'

Is there a list of current things that aren't done yet?  I noticed that the skill checks are still the old FO3 percentages thing and wasn't sure if that was intentional or just something that hasn't been changed yet.

No list exists , since there are really a LOT of things still to be done , "alpha version" is there for a reason .

About skill checks, fell free to check Retlaw mod/future TTW content here:

The more people using it and testing it, the better .

Haha! I go on vacation and I come back to find the newest TTW has been released. What great timing!

Keep up the good work guys. This is one of my favorite mods of all time. Were you guys able to fix the mesh problem with the museum of history where it was supposed to be banners or statues on the outside?

[chucksteel]

Yes but some other missing meshes snuck back in!  there is a thread here that has a fix. Missing Meshes
