Please Stand By

UPDATE: WHEEEE TRAILER!

So it looks like all the leaks have forced Bethesda to move up their announcement to tomorrow. While confirmation is nice, ultimately we’re still probably a year away from playing Fallout 4, if the Skyrim announcement is any indication. The original trailer was released on December of 2010.

In any case, you may have noticed yesterday I’ve put up some mods up on the forums for testing, so while this is sooner than expected, the timing works out. Here’s what I got so far. Now, eventually I’ll have a download page that’s much easier to peruse, as well as a Nexus page and a bundled download and shit like that. Right now, everything is still in construction, so you’ll have to download the files separately. You can find more information and NPC locations by checking out the wiki or the Fallout mod forum.

  • Cosmos – Rockbreaker’s Last Gas(NEW)
  • Dot’s Diner – Dot’s Diner north of the Dunwich Building(NEW)
  • Mortar – Jalbert Brothers Waste Disposal
  • Slasher – Rivet City
  • Spider – Seward Square Electronics Store (East of Broadway Cinema)
  • Zynx – Evergreen Mills Bazaar
  • Room 404 – Abandoned Building east of National Guard Depot

Of the seven, Cosmos, Dot’s Diner, Spider and Room 404 have quests at the moment. Of course, it’s not a coincidence that most of these mods are followers. Those are just easier to get voiced because it only requires one or two dedicated actors. The quest mods will probably take a few weeks more, but hopefully everyone will meet their deadline.

Anyways, these are all still in Alpha, so report any bugs in the appropriate section. I imagine some things can be broken deliberately as Fallout 3 isn’t designed for scenes, but hopefully everything is intuitive enough to where you know when to let a scene play out. Otherwise I’ll have to do like vanilla and freeze you in place and that can feel suffocating.

3DNPC v3.09.6

Here’s version 3.09.6 which fixes a longstanding bug for Among-the-Hist‘s dialogue that was caused by Keerava’s innkeeper note. I suppose few people were using the note, however, because no one mentioned it until last week.

  • Changed Robber’s Refuge patron so she doesn’t have the name of a terrorist organization

3DNPC v3.09.5

meresine

Here’s this week’s release, version 3.09.5. I’ve made a couple changes, most notably I removed some of the bass from Eldar‘s track which I admit I might’ve overdone to account for the CAD u37’s lack of bass frequencies. The other change is the new Black-Briar version of Mogo’s Mead labels from 1ndaJone5 . If you’ve played the quest, you can guess where you can find them.

Lastly, I also asked the great Sharlikran to inspect the esp and see if he couldn’t make any fixes where necessary. The only errors he found were the normal errors the CK causes to the NavMeshes, which he has resolved. I hope this will help smooth some kinks out. And again, thank you all for your support. It means a lot.

Edit: I just noticed I put 1ndaJone5′ new Mogo’s Mead texture in the wrong folder, file path should be:

textures\clutter\mogomead\maven-mogolabel-256×512.dds

Fixed that and re-uploaded. But you don’t need to re-download, just find the folder “mogomead” and place the Maven-mogolabel-256×512 texture with the others. The folder quoted above should already exist in your Data folder. If that’s too confusing just download the link below.
