Adv. Recon Thermal Nightvision Help : Fallout 3

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 9:45 am

I downloaded the Adv. Recon Nightvision mod and it's not working as expected. I expected something like

for the nightvision but got something more like

Can someone help please? And don't tell me to go into the GECK and change it because I do not know how... and don't want to mess up my game.

Also, every time I press G (my nightvision toggle button), my character will either twirl the current weapon over it's shoulder or equip the most powerful grenade in the inventory. Can someone help?

In regards to the second issues (with the G button), are you using Grenade Hotkey or FWE by chance, pretty sure they both use G for the Grenade Toggle button, so that would explain why you are having that issue (two functions on one key).

I don't use the Advanced Vision mod though, so I dunno what to tell you on the visual anomaly you are experiencing. Someone else may be able to help more there.

Thanks for the help, and it randomly (not every time or every other time) switches to grenade, and I'm not using any grenade hotkey mods unless FOOK2 integrated one.

Looking on the FOOK2 Nexus Download Page (as I don't use it myself):

FOSE Advanced Features
* Automatic FOSE Detection.
* Advanced features automatically disabled or modified if running the game without FOSE.
* Game will not break without FOSE (FOSE is strongly recommended).
* Shortcuts to many features like the FOOK Menus (O and =) and Night Vision (N) on some helmets.
* Melee Lock-On : allows you to lock on to enemies via a hotkey © while you have an Unarmed or Melee weapon equipped.
* FPS style Grenade Hotkey mod integrated.
* NVGs: Night Vision capacity for some headgear, like the Power Helmets. To use them, equip the [Nightvision Switch] in your inventory or, if you have FOSE, just press N (at least a second). The NVGs needs some minutes to be fully loaded, and you can edit the duration of their batteries in the FOOK menus.
* Explosive Breach : Mechanics to breach locks with Explosives.
* Power Armor Battle Damage : Power Armors takes more damage from battle, possibly being destroyed and unrepairable.
* Heavy Weapon Handicaps : Makes your aim unsteady if using a two-hands-handled weapons without having a Power Armor.

So, looks like it is probably the Grenade Hotkey effect getting you as I expected. You may also be having conflicts with the FOOK2 Nightvision feature, though I wouldn't be too sure.

Ah, thanks for the help. Didn't notice that when I downloaded it. And the nightvisions shouldn't be conflicting as far as I know because they're using different keys. But I'm not prepared to go into the GECK to edit or check anything, I wouldn't even know what to look for...
