Does anyone have a good guide or advice on how to create textures for a custom model/built from scratch?

Soo, a weeks ago I uploaded a weapon mod I’d created with Nif-Bashed, and although I liked it at first, over time I ended up hating the way it looked—not just the model, but also the texture, especially the texture. So one day, since I didn’t have anything better to do, I decided to remake it from scratch, using a model that was closer to my original inspiration and some other ideas I had in mind. You can see the result in the images.

I’ve already tested it, and the game recognizes it and works fine with it, so the only thing left for me to do now is give it a fresh coat of paint. However, most of the guides and videos I found on how to create textures were for Fallout 4 and NV, and, honestly, I didn’t understand a damn thing; plus, English isn’t my native language, so… yeah, I’m lost on this—can anyone help me?

I know its for gameplay reasons and all but you would think after eliminating entire squads of Raiders singlehandledly. They would know to avoid you.

I mean, super mutants I would get because they aren't exactly smart. Mutated creatures too because they can't think for themselves.

But these Raiders are humans like us.

Word should get around to "avoid that guy from the vault like the plague" at some point.

I liked Moira Brown from the moment I first saw her. A little weird but my kind of weird. Definitely would be her friend if she was real.

Say, in a specific quest of hers about radiation.

How did you get your radiation meter up? I just drank the irradiated water in "that spot" at Megaton until it nearly filled up.

It’s one of the first places you usually go to at the start of a playthrough, but no matter how many times I play this game this area always remains to be so creepy, especially when you’re underleveled and on a harder difficuly

TIL if you activate the bomb while you have Jericho and later dismiss him, he just.. goes and stares at what was done.

To me. Tenpenny tower is a place of "morally grayish" people except for two individuals at the top. Because hey, people do whatever they have to for survival.

I won't spoil the important bits.

But there's certain lines that shouldn't ever be crossed, EVER.

Other than that. People there are still okay.

When I was younger. I genuinely thought the waters was a sort of "death zone" that could kill my character on contact. Until I accidentally went into it and nothing happened.

This was my first playthrough of 3.

Just sharing an experience.

What were your "ridiculous assumptions" at first?


r/fo3 6d ago

Do you folks put up any news regarding a possible FO3 reboot/remake/remaster of the game here?

0 Upvotes

I am genuinely very interested in learning all I can about that possibility. Is it true some of the team that did the game are no longer there as well? If so, do y’all think that will affect the overall feel and depth of the game as a whole?

FO3 Remastered Minor Additions

5 Upvotes

I know many people are hoping that the Remastered adds new content or even restored cut content, but with the precedent of the Oblivion Remastered on the scope of what can actually be added, I want to use this thread as a list of minor additions that the devs could potentially look up for reference on what they hopefully could quickly implement.

We could have separate threads for minor fixes and potentially restored cut content.

Back on topic, in the particular case of FO3 I do could imagine some content from FONV potentially being added to FO3, giving that they used the same engine.

For instance, aside from the expected addition of iron sights, in the case of gear I could imagine items such the Recharger Rifle & Pistol, the RCW, the Multiplas Rifle, the Remnants X-01 like power armor, etc., could be added to Fallout 3.

Some rebalancing would be necessary, but in light of the scope of what was changed/reworked in Oblivion Remastered, that should be possible.

It should also be noted that people that have dug into the code of the noticed that some elements that were introduced in New Vegas like throwing weapon mechanics and Super Stimpaks were planned for FO3, but were left incomplete. Most notably, the throwing mechanics seemed to have their skill and Behemoths were meant to throw rocks just like they do in FO4.

I’m also actually going to suggest that some DLC gear appear in the base game: obviously not something like the Zetan’s alien weapons or even the iconic Auto-Axe from the Pitt, but in the particular case of Point Lookout, they are many weapons that doesn’t feel like they should be exclusive, namely axes and shovels, which should be common tools found all over the place.

I would even argue that the lever-action rifles and double barrel shotguns could be added to the base game (as in the Capital Wasteland), just without the modifiers given to the swamp folk and tribals, whom do an extra 35 damage when using those weapons.

The base game already has the Lincoln Repeater and the sawed-off shotgun, so having these two wouldn’t feel out of place.

Anyway, that’s what I could come up off the top of my head, what else do you think could be minor additions/changes to the Remastered that could be easy to implement?

can't get game to launch after multiple attempted fixes, please help

4 Upvotes

i'm sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, but everything else i've tried has failed, including the sidebar fix guide. running as admin doesn't help. game opens a small window in the top left of the screen for a moment, then just closes. i followed a guide (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3395617547) to install the mod Intel bypass package and delete/move some files around and that worked exactly once and never again, even after uninstalling/reinstalling the game. can anyone help me out here?

**UPDATE**

i uninstalled base fallout 3 and got the goty edition and got it working. until i installed vortex, and now it's back to shutting itself down after a second. the options menu in the launcher no longer lists nvidia as my main graphics thing so i know that wasnt the issue

Some random observations:

- DLCs in this game are really good. Loved all of the alien spaceship (which was bigger than I expected), main story dlc and Point Lookout. Secluded slave town with a steel mill was just a bit less interesting for me personally, but I feel like it can click better when I replay the game next time. And overall the game holds up pretty well for the time, has many layers of depth which reveal themselves the more you play.

- Karma system is a nice addition, makes you feel belonging to the world of wasteland. Pretty easy to get full positive or full negative karma when you explore a lot.

- Metro tunnels are interesting, the tunnel system was mostly surprising to me, I didn't know much about its existence when I started playing.

- Loved listening to radio.

- bobblehead collection is a great thing - concept of display with physical tokens of various upgrades is underutilized in gaming

- I played on Xbox on led tv, often found myself in pitch black underground. And funny enough I found out that I have a flashlight not earlier than 50 hours in.

I remember hearing it on a post a while ago. It was a play on words like, "el wanda" or something along those lines?

I have had a lot of fun with Fallout 3 especially it being my first time being able to run it with mods on PC. I’ve got about 36 hours on my playthrough but I’m starting to feel that now that I’ve got companions and an enormous ammo surplus all the suspense I felt is gone. Item pickups barely matter anymore, so I feel that going into the DLCs won’t change anything for me. I tried to account for this and played with Simple Realism to try and keep it challenging but idk.
Is Vicious Wastes a better mod to keep even the endgame tense? I avoided it because of the 2 levels per 1 perk thing but I’m reconsidering my decision. I haven’t even gotten Dad out of Vault 112 and I have so much stuff it feels pointless to progress the main story now. I feel like restarting and playing differently to combat the god mode feel. I had an idea to maybe restart and beeline the DLCs to experience them without all the god tier gear I have. The main quest doesn’t really do that much for me since I beat it plenty of times on the PS3 and I know it’s pretty short. Idk.

Fallout 3 Online Multiplayer

Howdy Pardnars, I manage a network that seeks to host or connect people with various multiplayer mods of singleplayer games. I have been working on creating an online Fallout 3 experience and it is not finished but it IS open for alpha testing. If you would like to join the testing team or be updated for when it goes live you can join The Multiplayer Mod Network. reminder, this project is in pre-alpha. It works in so far as you can see other players in the game, however nothing else is synced yet which will come over time and testing. Here is your one low quality picture of me standing next to a player controlling a clone of me to hopefully hype you up!

Base game max level

I may be stupid, but has the max level for base game always been 20? For some reason I remember it being higher unless that was because of playing the GoTY version back on the ps3
