Overview of Changes

Fallout 3 Wanderers Edition (FWE) is a major overhaul mod for Fallout 3 that changes underlying game mechanics and adds new features to the game. The aim of the mod is to improving the challenge, sense of immersion, depth of gameplay, and range of options compared the vanilla game. Generally, you'll find the wasteland to be a more dynamic but far less forgiving place.

FWE's development is guided by two objectives. The first is to enhance the First-Person-Shooter (FPS) elements of the game (while still preserving non-FPS options). This includes making combat faster paced, exciting, and more player-skill based. The second objective is to enhance the role-playing elements of the game by emphasizing choices and consequences, balance, character development, immersion, and the range of viable options. Both these objectives aim to increase the replay value of Fallout 3.

For a comprehensive description of changes and usage, please refer to the full documentation provided on the https://sites.google.com/site/fo3wanderersedition/detailed-changes. This is located in the "FWE Docs" folder of the download files.

Load Order + Compatiblity

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compatibility
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FWE is a large overhaul, and changes many aspects of the game. Gamesettings, weapons, armor, equipment, ammo, and many other types of records are modified by FWE. In general, remember that if two mods edit the same thing, which ever mod load later in your load order will "override" the mods that load before. If you are worried about FWE's compatiblity with another mod you are using, here are some suggestions:

• Load mods that you think might conflict with FWE before FWE in your load order to ensure that FWE's changes are functioning consistently and correctly, unless you know that the mod doesn't conflict at all with FWE, or you know what it changes and you want it to override FWE changes.
  
• Load your mod list in FO3Edit and loook through each new mod that you add to understand what it changes and what potential conclets might arise.
  
• Post on the FWE nexus page or on the Bethesda forums mod section to ask about specific compatibility settings.

FWE is designed to work alongside other popular mods, including Mart's Mutant Mod, Weapon Mod Kits, FOOK, Energy Visuals Enhanced, and Project Beauty. For complete coverege using FWE alongside these mods, please refer to the Fallout Interoperability Program at the Fallout3 Nexus. In addition, the load order section (below), provides a sample load order to get you started using FWE with other major mods.

A number of individuals have contributed directly to FWE's development, from creating new content and playtesting, to fixing bugs and providing support for FWE's users. Without these individuals, this mod would not be nearly as successful as it is. In approximate chronological order:

• Fritz_FretZ .......... Expanding and refining the Primary Needs integration and resolving a number of scripting issues at a point in time when I didn't even know how to script. He basically fixed everything in the mod at one point or another.
  
• EliminsterAU .......... For helping troubleshoot and provide technical feedback on FWE's development. And of course for making FO3Edit, without which FWE would never have happened.
  
• Martigen .......... For helping to get the FOIP program off the ground and for being a wonderful role model.
  
• Antistar .......... Also contributing to the FOIP effort with WMK support.
  
• jjgun .......... For providing technical + scripting knowledge, developing the wasteland explorer and followers enhanced modules, and providing invaluable testing.
  
• Delamer .......... For always being on the forums and helping to resolve FWE users' technical issues. Best customer support ever! He also wrote the night vision scripts and has been a wonderful tester.
  
• RGDelta .......... For developing a number of bug fixes that are incorporated into the current release.
  
• Kai Hohiro .......... For expanding WMK support, DLC support, calling me out on my sloppy work, and providing awesome playtesting. FWE owes you big kudos!

A quick question. Since it's been years since I played the Vanilla game I'm not sure if I get correct behavior of if FWE changes this. In Those! quest when I ingest Fire Ant Nectar isn't the Ant Vision supposed to make everything bright so I can find my way around the dark? Cause I only get a brief flare of the screen for maybe a second or two and then the screen reverts to normal again. I get this every minute or so until the nectar wears off.

I'm having some problems with constant crashes when I'm near D.C.

Made a thread about it http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1115307-load-order-help/.

Not really sure what it's related to but it must be either MMM or FWE.

Load order:

Interesting.

We had a problem with some users getting their screen so bright it they couldn't see anything. I'll take a look at what's going on more specifically. Thanks for mentioning it.

Odd. Did a clean install and installed everything as I did before and now it's not crashing as much, have yet to actually go into DC thou.

But I noticed that RobCo grill and those have missing files for their "pipboy icons".
And also a Wattz 1000 Rifle has some missing or faulty mesh/texture for some reason that makes it all white glow like when it's on an NPC or on the floor. You can still see the actual Rifle but also this white stuff.

Or you can try http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13572

Are you sure you install ALL assets? Part 2 for example?

Yes, forgot to update that post thou.

I fixed it by manually place all the texture/meshes in it's place. And now it's fine.

Now I just need to find a way to make the game slightly more stable

KUDOS to all the team for the glorious work, but as everyone, I also have a tip/request: there are mods integrated into FWE from modders that works in it, (like Outcast Tech Support from The 3rd Type) that would be nice to have pointed in the description in nexus site, and also in the readme that it's already integrated... Can't go as far as to ask the other modders not working on FWE to do the same, since they have already granted permission for the integration... (tnx!)

Yes, documentation need to be updated, just give us some break
About outcast's reworked. It is not supported now, it's author is member of FWE team, so probably there is no need to link this mod anymore.
IMHO.

I just noticed something.
My game didn't crash when I got near D.C this time, but I noticed that my character which I made the Alternative Start way. Didn't have the FWE menu for some reason.
The other characters had it, and no mod have been changed. So I guess it was just a temporary "bug".

Can the "DLMOutcastsSCRIPT" be added to the Broken Steel add-on so that Hellfire Armor can be turned in?

Yes, I will ask scoobyFO3 to do so.

Adaqueril
My game didn't crash when I got near D.C this time, but I noticed that my character which I made the Alternative Start way. Didn't have the FWE menu for some reason.
Which start did you choose? I will check it.
And please be sure you don't have mods in load order, which make modifications to main quest script.

The Alternate Start (Wake Up) start.

Forgot to add my load order before -.-

Just been through some horrifying experiences involving supermutants, after which I got an opportunity to test out the ammo press.
I think 15 40mm grenades for one can of gunpowder is a bit low, since that in turn only yields 5 .308 rounds. Considering the size of a grenade (and the rarity), I think one should get more out of them.

I think delamer wanted to know which history/background you took, ie. raider, vault dweller, escaped slave etc.

Oh lol.

The Vault Dweller.

Generally there are different "amount classes": (5,10,15), (10,20,30) and (20,30,40) at perk rank 1, 2, 3, respectively. For gunpowder extraction requirements, the rank 3 values are used. So if your ammo engineer perk is at rank 3, you'll get 15 .308 rounds for one can of gunpowder, while at first you only get 5.
We could use an extra class for 40mm grenades, for example (3,6,9), since it doesn't really fit in (5,10,15) that well, on the other hand this would also mean that you could craft less of them.

Just remade a new character the FWE menu is now there.
Must have been just a random occasion.

New mod resource http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=14371 would be cool to add FWE like night vision was.

First off, I've been absolutely loving FWE ever since I started using it. Rock on!

I just updated to FWE version 6.02 the other day. I uninstalled Fallout 3 completely and rebuilt everything from scratch to make sure I had a clean game going. I added DUI3 to my game, and this seems to be working except for one small problem: it won't show me the status of my stealth field generator if I'm using one. The changelog says that it's supposed to give me a readout that shows the stability of the field generator and the amount of charge left, but I don't see that. The stealth field works okay, I can turn it on and off and stuff; and DUI3 recognizes FWE since it shows the Primary Needs panel.... but no stealth field info.

Any thoughts?

Did you add the DarNUI FWE add-on that is included on the FO3Nexus FWE download page?

It handles the grenade hotkey display and the stealth field and nightvision readouts.

Be sure that you've downloaded the latest darn UI, installed that first, then installed the FWE-DArnUI patch from the FWE website, overwritten files.

Yeah, that was it. Sorry. I thought there might be a patch that made that feature work, but I was looking on the FOIP page and it's not there. :whistling:

alright guys i'm having a problem i installed 6.0 and the waterbeggers have red exclamation marks on them, i've done the following:

installed part 1 and 2 and the patch
tried installing with FOMM
tried installing manually
made sure archive invalidation is turned on
