this was intentional, because this increases the chance of finding more common ammo types.
If all only have the same ammount of entries, that would cause all ammo to be equally rare.

I was surprised at how little ammo was available from vendors, but it made me alter my gameplay a bit. Buying all small arms ammo I could and selecting my weapon based on what I had the most ammo for when heading out. It got a bit hairy at times (in the National Guard Depot I had to take out the last Sentry Bot with a kitchen knife...thank god for their inability to shoot directly in front of them), but it was fun.

It's not so much a problem now since I've accumulated a fair bit of small arms ammo, and I've stored a tonne of energy weapon ammo as well for when I start putting more points into that skill.

The Outcasts are great help with ammo since you can focus all your purchasing on a particular ammo type and they seem to have an unlimited supply.

The security chief at Tenpenny also seems to have an extra large supply, and the empty bottle exploit makes him a great supplier.

Well that explains it. I was starting to wonder if it actually did anything. Another excuse to start from beginning when FWE and MMM 6 are realesed

And I thought it was me Having ammo rarity in common and finding as little as I was just didn't seem... common!

Also, is there a way to give a lot of items at once to the outcasts that I missed? I remember my hand hurting after handing in 30 conductors 1 by 1!

This cuts it down considerably, though I think there might be a way to simplify it more (haven't gotten around to trying it out yet). http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12175

One of the things in the changelog for FWE v6.0 is another change in the Tech Support quest, so I'd suspect there will be better implementation there as well.

Very useful! Thnx!

That mod is whats being integrated in FWE 6.0

I thought so. That's why I'm going to wait for 6.0 before I try my idea. Fewer files to mess with.

Sounds like 6.0 will be even more of a blast :flamethrower:

Also, an idea I've had for a while. Maybe it's more of a MMM kind of idea though:

How easy would it be to implement a "fear" system? For example, raiders would run from you if you are wearing power armor unless there are ten or more of them, or your armor's condition svcks so they think you're easy prey. It just doesn't make sense, you are wearing power armor, you are the badass of the wasteland, and some lowly half naked raider thinks he can take you out with a 10 mm? I mean, ok, they're stupid but wtf?

Maybe I'll see about making a mod out of that but I don't really have the time right now :banghead:

I'd like to see this with the karma system, if it isn't in there. If you're wearing a duster then Raiders have a higher chance of running away from you, and Paradise Falls doesn't take to kind to your...Fashion statements.

I kind of figured that, I made them almost even for my own game, to me it just seemed to me that in a wasteland you use whatever kind of gun you have ammo for. But that was just for my own game, it makes it seem a little harsher than the default harsher settings. That along with the harshest weight limit settings made me plan things about a bit more.

Hey, I was wondering if this would interest you http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=14179

Just a little something I made, it might be useful- or not...

hm something is missing in the initial post...what could it be?

A quick question:

I am writing a mod to implement the PA "fear" system I mentioned above. When trying to detect hostile actors I use

actor.GetFactionRelation Player

but Super Mutants, Talon Mercs and creatures return Neutral even though they are hostile. Raiders return Enemy.

My question is whether this is caused by FWE. I am also using MMM (which may well be the culprit).

Is there some reliable way to detect which actors are hostile?

I have tried

actor.GetCombatTarget Player

but it doesn't work as expected :banghead:

I have a question on the integration of ammo creation. Will we be able to craft energy ammo?

And a shameless plug, if you like the Alt Start feature in FWE, keep an eye on http://http://fo3fwe.freeforums.org/alt-start-and-fwe-t116.html at the FWE forums.

Oh my, what a reasonable question Nessh, I'm sure you'll get a response.

This link gets me to an advertisemant site :blink:

http://fo3fwe.freeforums.org/alt-start-and-fwe-t116.html

malformed link, that one should work

Yeah, that would be the forum's built in link creation tool being stupid. Thanks for the fix. Also, are we not allowed to edit our own posts? (I don't frequent these forums much as you can tell)

Sure you can, you may need to refresh the page or re-login though

Yes, this function heavily dependant from autoaim, and in FWE autoaim disabled.

Actually I managed to do it, it was due to bad syntax that it wasn't working.

if actor.getCombatTarget == Player 

worked great!

Autoaim is just tweaked in FWE so it works in my game

You are lucky. We was forced to remake one of the perks because of this

A question about Craft Helper as integrated with FWE. Have all the existing Craft items been redone to use the master quest system of Crafting that was introduced in Helper? If not, then has this quest been left intact for the easy adding of additional Craft items?
