Beta Version 0.82

http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/46907

Just added a new update file (0.82) to fix the Nova Drainage corrupted cell of doom. Somehow the cell got corrupted during file merges or something. All I had to do was create a new copy of the cell and that worked a treat, thankfully! Never seen a bug like that before!

If you already have version 0.8 or 0.81, then you only need to extract the esm file from the 0.82 archive. Otherwise, follow the instructions in the Readme file.

Endless Walkers?

Endless Walkers to feature in the wastelands of Colorado?


"The Endless Walk is the punishment in which a ghoul is stripped of every worldly possession, including clothing, and sent marching into the wasteland. No ghoul has ever come back from the Endless Walk.

On those rare occasions when one survives more than one year in the wasteland, they turn into wandering, voracious creatures on an endless quest for flesh. Due to their prolonged, open exposure to the desert sun, high radiation, and other hardships of the wasteland, these unfortunate ghouls, who were banished naked, look like walking, sun bleached chunks of beef jerky. Their constant exposure to the hot sun and high levels of radiation has caused their skin to toughen into natural, hardened leather, but at the same time, their brains have been completely cooked.

Endless walkers who have been in the wastes for so long become creatures of instinct and will attack anything that moves in a vain effort to quench an appetite that can never be quenched. Also, their skin is very tough and they strike with their claw-like hands with surprising quickness. Fortunately, endless walkers do not travel in groups. In fact, it is a rare occasion when someone comes across one, though most who travel this side of the wasteland like to keep their distance from the ravenous creatures. Though encounters with Endless Walkers are rare, when someone does encounter them, they are assured to never forget the encounter, if they survive."

Beta Version 0.81

http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/46907

Just added a new update file (v0.81) which fixes and improves the weather/sky/fog. It fixes the issue of black clouds sometimes appearing. If you already downloaded the 0.8 version, then you only need the esm file from this archive. If in doubt, just extract everything from the update and overwrite when it asks.

Beta Version 0.8 is Released

http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/46907

The new update has been released, that includes many bug-fixes and improvements, and also combines the two esm files into one, thanks to the work of Kuroitsune. Here is a list of some of the changes:


- Two esm files merged into one
- Main quest endings improved.
- Dialogue corrections
- Missing voice audio files added
- Mobile Base Crawler easier to navigate
- Missing quest markers added
- Fixed quest marker error for opening quest
- Fixed Kate errors, such as her appearing at the Lucky 38
- Fixed recurring pop-up bug with gasoline and ignition key messages
- Fixed various texture problems
- Added new quest markers
- Fixed various quest marker errors
- The Last Resort quest marker bugs fixed
- Various cosmetic fixes, such as holes in landscape, floating cans, etc
- Vanilla companions are fired automatically before player arrives in Colorado
- Elite Death Squad helmet added to Scylla's guard booth, outside Nova
- Added C4 to Sentinel Grant's inventory
- Removed door sounds from various cave entrances
- Added activation text overrides where appropriate
- New lines added for the Boulder Zax

-And many more changes.

And some more change-lists, from KazFoxsen:

MISC

Fixed hydrant angles corrected

Replaced remaining Searchlight fire engines with Boulder ones

Replaced radios playing Mr. New Vegas with the generic station

Fixed hole in canyon of Boulder Park

Bionics Personnel door can now be removed by Super Sledge, Chainsaw, and Hatchet.

Caroline carries more rare weapons and caps. She carries some ammo (including some armor piercing 556mm) and a small amount of chems, food, drinks, and med supplies. If using an old save, some types of item won’t appear until the container respawns.

Fixed Caroline’s trading quest so it relies on the player returning to her with news, rather than a timer. Makes it clear that the player can trade with Boulder after.

COMPANIONS

Kate now has companion ammo and non-playable weapons.

Fixed glitches to Deadpan and Lenore’s health when hired together. This also got rid of the bug that made DP nearly invincible.

If the player convinces DP to move on and leave the ghoul cat behind, he’ll gain the Show Must Go On perk upgrade, which improves Writer’s Block (PC gains 75% base health, while DP only loses 25%). Lenore and corpse will both disappear once player leaves Catacombs.

Clarified some dialog when DP finds Lenore (will further clarify when voice files are done)

DP will retell cat story if player asks, even after Cat’s in the Crater quest is completed.

During cat story, player can no longer suggest that Lenore could be a ghoul if DP has found corpse.

DP will force greet player near entrance to town to show that he is recruitable.

DP now performs a short idle when told to follow again to interrupt his reading idle (w/o that, he continues to read, sliding around after the player!)

Gave DP more animations during his story.

FERAL TRADE

Listening to Cricket’s back door first will no longer start Feral Trade quest, but if the player does it, allows option to tell Franko right away.

Fixed the ferals not following Mu problem with a compromise. They follow her out the door, and all three are teleported to end location (to avoid issue where ferals get stuck on stairs and drop ai packages), then Mu follows a patrol path back to the Ranger Station.

Fixed fail conditions for Feral Trade. It fails when PC kills both Cricket and Franko, attacks Franko or Young before confronting Cricket, or attacks Franko or Young while luring Cricket to trap (Cricket and Mu, not knowing Franko is bad, will turn hostile to PC)

If Cricket is lured into a trap, Mu now follows like she should, Cricket yells again and plays an idle when Mu is killed, and once the scene ends, the Ranger Station shows evidence of having been raided of ferals (Bob has gone home, and Alice was vaporized in a struggle).

Improved Feral Trade objectives

Added map marker to Ranger Station

After quest ends, the deathclaw in the cave will be enabled if it hasn’t already

Removed scripts from dead versions of Franko and Young (in cave), so if their bodies are struck while fighting deathclaw, it won’t fail a bunch of BOS quests.

BOULDER UNDERGROUND

Added map marker to Boulder cave

Moved chair near stage down so it doesn’t float

The corpses of invaders and Andre will disappear after a day. I’ll fix the other townspeople to disappear in a future update. In Andre’s case, his hat and key will appear on his desk if he hasn’t been looted by that time.

Fat Cat and Night Light will no longer attack each other.

Andre now gives the player C-4 to blow up shrine instead of relying on timer. Dialog needs re-recording.

Reputation messages are now displayed

Designated “Andre’s Cabinet” as new hiding place for log book and replaced fake First-Aid box with normal one.

After talking to Andre about Firefly, a countdown begins. If Renato isn’t killed and the Boulder map stolen within 2 days, a mess of death squad soldiers will appear in the town.

If Connie is exiled, she’ll appear as an enemy in Inner Boulder.

Enabled extra speech option to confront Firefly if Player has heard Renato’s plans.

Player can now ask Firefly about Dullahan with all but very low Charisma.

If player starts Connie’s prank, the deathclaw in the cave with the eggs is enabled.
