haha, thats epic

That was an old bug.
I reported it here: http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=958148&st=20&p=13841007&#entry13841007
And the solution: http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?s=&showtopic=958148&view=findpost&p=13844864

Well, Gawd dam the flying Geckos! Even with the latest available "No Gecko" plugin [beta 4.1, I guess] I still ran into one strolling nonchalantly along an overpass section.....well he was labled a little Gecko so maybe he came from a seperate spawn list or something......annoying.....seems like the little buggers are compulsary!

I'm pretty sure it's coming from the optional "hunting and looting" esp
and in the end that's why I removed it from my modlist, as soon as 1 ennemy is killed they all crouch around the body (that's to show they are looting it's body) it's not a rare problem it happens constantly and most of the time let's say 8/10 fights I see this behaviour from one or all the npcs that are supposed to fight me :/

My only other "problem" with MMM I think ! (I play fook+mmm) is that I play with dogmeat + 2 "robco certified" bots and raiders flee all the time, I don't know if it's because of my group size (4 people) but it's a bit annoying.

Other than that I love MMM, was a fan in oblivion and still am in fallout 3

They're attuned to the moon's gravity

Hey all, just popping in to say RL is still uber-busy but I've been working on Beta 5 in my spare moments. Some of the new features are very time consuming too, I'm in the process of adding 54 new variant ghouls who will have a very special purpose.

Wannimingo, Floaters, and some other goodies to be added before releasel.

Nothing on fixing the flying gekos?

One armed ghoul? Will he still try to use the arm? Is it just an invisible texture or is he actually one-armed? Could the arm still be shot-off?

I'm having some supernaturally weird issue with ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated causing huge cell loading stutters when enabled (even on a vanilla install), I've been trying to get this mod working right for days now and I've got a thread with the details if anyone cares to look...it's a real hair pulling situation.

http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=975531

Anyway, my real question is, how would I run MMM without having to use AII? Is setting bInvalidateOlderFiles=1 alone enough to make it work or would I have to create an invalidation text file listing MMM's new files?

Thanks for the hard work Mart (and others), I really want to get this mod working if only for the night ghouls :shocking:

You'd need to go through the text file thingy.

The AII problem is weird tho.. VERY weird.

YAY!

Dismember before death?
Mart, if you pulled THAT out of your hat, you're positively awesome.
:bowdown:

Yeah, I've hit a brick wall so I'm hoping someone with a deeper knowledge of these things comes along and helps

Okay, so im following a caravan to another city, we come arcoss a group of talon company, who run to attack me. Instead of the caravan helping me to kill them, they turn around and start attacking me instead.

Im presuming this has to do with MMM cause it a feature so that certain factions wont attack the caravan, am i right? and is there a add-on mod that stops this? if not what do i have to edit?

Post your load order in a codebox, might be that it's off. I presume you or one of your companions didn't accidently hit them with madly spraying automatic fire? I pissed off the robot junk dealer near Tenpenny last night when a deathclaw scared the crap out of me, and he was engaging it.

damn, im not at my Desktop at the moment.

I can tell you that im a very light mod user, MMM and a few of the plug-ins takes up 50% of my load order. My other mods are either item adders or slight personal edits, nothing that would effect this issue. As soon as i get back i will get the list. One thing, how do you get the mod list from fomm? ive never had to before.

I imagine Bethesda just loves you, you always make their games better.

I have an older beta, do I just install over the old beta?

Right click then copy load order to clipboard.

oh gawd that guys missing his arm?
poor fella...
If only this could be ported over to humans?
make them bleed out?
OMG SO MANY POSSIABLYITYEJTSLJERLSE!

Ok, thanks

Anchorage.esm
Mart's Mutant Mod.esm
Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch.esp

It's a bug with the original deathclaw mesh or skel on which the geckos are based, and the fix will be to monitor the Z axis and reset it, which is kinda resource consuming. It's on the to-do list.



Yes! He can lose either arm, or even both...


No! It's physically and skeletally and animatedally and VATSally gone for him.


He is actually one-armed!


You mean the good arm? Yes it can still be shot off!



Not quite There are engine limitations that prevent this, but I'm doing something special close to this

That's flipping amazing, mart

Mart is that only for ghouls?
To see that on animals or humans would be mad...
Also do legs work??

Coolies. Thanks for the update and keep up the good/FANTASTIC work.

Again with the Geckos.......sorry, but whats the story with regard to "Little Geckos"? Are all such small Animal varients drawn from a seperate Spawn list? I'm asking because, altough I'm using the latest No Gecko plugin [due mostly to the "launching" issue], I'm still occasionally running into these little Fellas, sort of wandering about..........
