Mods on Macbook Pro

Post » Sun Jul 18, 2010 6:58 am

I was wondering if getting and installing mods from, let's say, newvegasnexus would be any different on a Mac than a PC. Any help would be appreciated!

Not sure what your asking here, are you running a bootcamp version of windows or, using a windows emulator like Parallels? I mod and, play fallout 3 and Fallout New Vagus using a bootcamp partition of vista on my ProMac. There is no difference because I'm running Vista.

There isn't a Mac version of Fallout 3 or, FNV so you'll need to have some form of windows installed to play the game.

I'm running a Boot Camped Macbook Pro here. Its the same as having any other PC with Windows on it. If this is what you're asking, that is. Like Cev said, there is no Mac version of New Vegas.

I've run heavily modded FO3 and FNV on a Macbook Pro and Mac Pro dual booted into windows. Not a problem and you simply follow the windows instructions.

It pains me to have to boot into windows but since I only use it for gaming, it's not too awful.

I hole heartedly agree! it is a pain to boot up in the substandard, rickety system but, it is our only choice if we want to play games at the same level as other PC users!

o_0 Tell that to my OS X (Data) which has been, on a few occasions, fixed by my Win7 (Lore)... or were you being facetious?

I'm on love with my aluminum and have the whole 'Man With Two Brains', dual boot thing going on. Both OS' have learned to read/write each others' language(s) using Paragon software and I've had to fix both with the opposite. Some NTFS errors which Win couldn't fix, Mac gets around without issue while, as mentioned above, I've also had to get into OS X with Win to get it to boot. Combined in one machine, it's the most stable system I've ever had.




Anyone else with a multi-touch trackpad rig figured out how to get left taps to allow firing while sniping without the left tap negating the aiming (holding bottom right R-Click)? My only issue with my MBP (save that I could fry an egg on it while running Windows) is that Gamebryo games and the trackpad don't seem to allow for simultaneous L and R clicking, in fact, the tap inputs don't seem to work at all except when L-Tapping while physically holding down the 'button', but then I'm left not aiming, you know? Magic mouse works, but I'd love to figure out how to get the same performance out of the trackpad for sniping/shield raising + attacking. Tap inputs work with Dragon Age...
