I believe it's about the actual ammo the Gauss Rifle uses.
The weapon, in Fallout 2, used 2mm ammo and no MF Cells. In Fallout 3, the weapon was introduced later and Beth probably thought that there was no reason to make a whole new ammo type for just one new gun. So they added the microfusion cell thing (which IMO is realistic for a coilgun) and intended to have the 2mm ammos in a backpack. However, since this would seem silly especially for snipers using the weapon, they removed the backpack (or never made it) but forgot to uncheck the "hide backpack" thing.

It is close, but we don't want to make false promises. Some bugs with long beard already take away about one week
Two weeks? Don't trust me.

Don't rush the release guys, id rather you take the time to deliver a sweet product, especially once you've ironed out the few remaining bugs

I really do enjoy the features that FWE offers

To be honest there would be no point in "waiting" for that release. There are a few tweaks and fixes and new menu options, but there is no reason not to already start game because the patch will be perfectly compatible with an existing save.

But weren't some additional weapons being added also or did I get confused?

That's for 5.10

5.03 is a "small" update(still hundreds of hours of work :glare:), to fix the few remaining bugs and adding a few additional features like I mentioned above and to do overall some polishing. It will be released very soon

5.10 is going to be mainly a big content patch with new weapons, some very advanced AI scripts and several other gameplay goodies


EDIT: Also sorry to the people I've promised the Fallout Foods compatbility patch. It isn't done yet, but it will come. Our latest update is just adding too many new features than originally anticipated, soo I'm a tad busy with scripting and playtesting.

Emil Pagliarulo is the one who said that.

Poking through the Nexus' latest updated files, I saw http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12649 Rusty Power Armor mod, which got me thinking about how there aren't many broken down pieces of armor in Fallout. I know FWE adds worn weapons, right? Could the same be done with armors as well? Rusty power armor would be really awesome.

Thanks, nice find actually. Will look into this.

Don't burn yourself out, the team is doing an amazing job, and entirely worth any amount of waiting time. I will just have to spend more time doing more of those things that people call chores around the house to pass the time by faster :facepalm: ( kidding )

Yes, I was thinking "update" for 5.02 vs. "release" for 5.10 so the terms confused me there a bit.

Are you going to add modern weapons in 5.10 (like M4A1 Barret etc)
What about new armors ?

Could you add more 'History' choices in alternative start mod ?

No, we're not going to change our style of weaponry. Only some weapons from CFWR that we find fitting will be added.
Keep in mind we dont add new weapons not because we can't. Adding a new weapon takes me less than 5 minutes given the model. And there are many excellent modellers like HeroinZero who offer their work for anyone kind enough to ask.
We don't normally add new weapons, because:
1) We don't want a billion different redundant weapons
2) We want them to fit into the overall style and feel of Fallout/FWE



There are actually a handful of new combat armors in 5.03
But overall we're happy with the armors we have now already. Same what I said about weapons, counts for armors.


Not really planned, but we're open to any suggestions.

Slightly odd problem, all blood and gore disappears after reloading a quick save. Not always after the first reload but it doesn't take too many. Restarting the game rectifies the problem.

Any ideas?

Yes the problem is you are using quicksave/quickload. This is a vanilla issue.

Bizarre, why now suddenly after playing it for the last week? Anyway, cheers for clearing it up.

Its the reason why we have the CASM: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3729

Its a bug with the engine itself, when it quickloads it messes up. You probably just never noticed it before.

Yeah but don't actually use the quickload from CASM, it's equally broken(but it's save function is preferable to autosave/quicksave).
Always load from the menu.

This isn't a request or anything (though feel free to take it as one :whistling: ), just more of a question. Since schlangster is part of the team now, will http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11098 become part of the FWE 5.10 patch?

...and the quick load from CASM crashes the game 50% of the times.


Silly question, I've noticed that things like the infirmary and the lab need a stimpak to heal, remove radiation (makes no sense), and to cure addictions (also makes no sense). Is there a way to make this configurable in a future version?

Well it does make sense actually. Even though the infirmary now requires a stimpak, bear in mind that it is healing EVERYTHING with a single stimpak (or radaway for rads). Likewise, the lab is removing you addictions for a cheaper "price" than buying coldturkene or having a doc cure additictions. It's primarily a balancing change. Nothing is free in FWE

Thanks for the update, this mods is so awesome

Anyone has a problem with chinese stealth helmet being completely black? From what mod are textures so i can re-download them?

Chinese stealth helmet is from operation anchorage. FWE doesn't use any custom textures for it, so you probably installed some other mod or texture replacer that overwrote and broke them
