all. Neat.

You're going to need the original mods, everything they require, and FWE.

So here are the links;

Zealotlee Armaments:

SVD Dragonov (Liken to the Sniper Rifle, Unique is liken
to Victory Rifle sans knockdown, requires CALIBR)

http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3759

MP5 Pack (Liken to the 10mm Submachine Gun, with slightly
varying stats for each of the 3 versions.)

http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5431

Adaptive Combat Rifle (Automatic Variants are liken to a
higher quality Chinese Assault Rifle, with graduating
system of accuracy based on barrels and scopes used similar
to the FWE/WMK style.)

http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11611

Antistar's Dragonskin Tactical Outfit:

DTO - Dragonskin Tactical Outfit (as durable as Heavy
Combat Armor MKII and as light as standard combat armor.
Still very expensive.)

DTO Standard as well as The Bonus Pack are Mastered,
you'll need both.

Nice. Thanks

Thank you for spending the time doing this I will have to check out a few of these goodies!

P.S. Love your user icon

Heh, I love the Awesome Face. Had to find some clever way to make it fallout-ish.

Sorry but I'm a little confused on the load order. According to FWE, the original esp for these mods should load before FWE. But what about the FOIP files for these. Do they load directly after the base esp's or after FWE? Thanks.

Well I load them like this, before the FWE .esp files but after the .esm...

[X] ZL-SVD-CALIBR.esp[X] ZL-MP5 Pack.esp[X] ZL-ACR.esp[X] SVDForFWE.esp[X] MP5ForFWE.esp[X] ACRForFWE.esp

Strange, I am getting crashes before the game really begins, I don't get to the loading screen. I double checked my load order and found no problems, so I started turning off mods. For whatever reason, when I uncheck the Dragonskin mod and the FWE FOIP plugin, it stops crashing. But if I check them again and load them, the game crashes. I have these both coming after the weapons files. Any idea why this is happening? Usually crashes at the beginning indicate a load order problem is what I thought I've read but it seems to be linked to the Dragonskin armor. Strange . . . any ideas/suggestions?

Did you download the DTO patch before I updated it? I royally screwed the first version up. Try redownloading it. Please.

Sorry, no luck. I downloaded the DTO FWE file just a couple of days ago, but reloaded it again, and the game still crashes when I activate the two files. Here's my load order if that is of some assistance:

It's kind of strange because I thought most pre-load crashes are cause by really bad load orders, esm's and esp's in really bad places but I don't think I have any of those problems. And like I said, without DTO and the FWE patch, I run fine. If there's anything you can think of, great but I don't expect you to spend hours figuring out some obscure crashing issue. Thanks.

EDIT: FYI, I haven't created a master patch as I wanted to make sure these all ran together before doing that. Would that make a difference?

two questions

where do you recommend loading these mods in relation to the mods the patch?

How often should I find the MP5 and ACR rifles on raiders?

Regarding the second question since I'm using the bashed patch option I'm wondering if either the regular mods or your patches should be tagged with relev or something because it seems every group of raiders I come upon has about 3 MP5 rifles and I've found a few ACR too. That seems like a lot and man those things hurt!! Like triage after every direct hit.

A bit uber for raiders in an FWE world with worn weapons option. Add these and they no longer have a worn out pistol but a MP5 to spill your intestines.

thanks

Grifman; The patch I made before was doing exactly what you said is happening, because I screwed up the masters, I basically had to rebuild the patch.


Psymon: Zealotee created a script for those weapons that certain people would spawn with those weapons. I have not touched this scripts in any way. I have no idea how scripting works, so I left them as is.

I think at least the MP5 mod I'm taking out as every other raider has one now and even tagging it with relev for bashed patch did nothing to affect the prevelance.

Just going to rivet city from the mirelurk lair/memorial he collected about 10 of them and probably had to use about 8 triages because they tore right through the outcast power armor like it was nothing.

Does ammo with AP mean armor piercing?

Anyway - doesn't seem too balanced for FWE and my character being only level 10.

Strange. I downloaded the patch (I assume you mean the FWE file) and reinstalled this morning and still got crashes. Who knows, once modded, Fallout 3 seems to do what Fallout 3 wants to do!

My suggestion would be to talk to Zealotlee about those scripts, because I'm not in a position to modify them...

Ok, I just thought I'd report back that I think I found the source of the problem. FO3Edit was reporting a fatal error because I did not have the DTO bonus pack installed. Once I installed it the fatal error went away. I think your patch assumes the bonus pack is installed, but no where do you say (that I can tell) that we need to have the bonus pack.

Oh man, I'm sorry. I did neglect to mention that. I apologize. I'll add that note to the readme right away.

No problem, I'm kind of proud that I figured this out on my own!

Well I hope you're finally enjoying the mod. Let me know what you think.

Also, feel free to post suggestions on some more smaller gems that could be ForFWE'd. That goes out to everyone.

Mmm, Slam's M16? But you'd have to CALIBR them too ...

How about a Link? I can always take a look...

Oh, right, sorry. Nexus http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12173

Any chance of making http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12528 compatible?

+1 for Slam's M16. :thumbsup: I just downloaded and tweaked it for FWE today. but it isn't perfect...

I added this set of mods, and next think I knew every raider I ran into had an MP5 or the ACR ... I was slaughtered in moments.

Is that meant to happen?

Zealotlee wrote a script that dynamically puts the weapon into leveled lists. That's what you are seeing.
