Looks okay to me. That's how sunglasses work, after all, by reducing glare. Seems VisionFX is a pretty realistic mod.

just Dl'd the beta version, and so far it looks pretty good. i haven't played too much yet, but the nights do seem a little better so far. however if i may offer a bit of constructive ccriticism, the water seems a little too blue, it looks better than vanilla, just a little too dark of a blue for me.

This is indeed a problem, I agree. The water in Fallout3 is basically a pool of fog with a reflective membrane on top. Trying to make it look like water does is not at all easy.

hattix, sorry to be a bother, but something else i noticed with beta.

I'm not really sure what is causing those squares, but as you can see, without fellout they are not there. any ideas?

That is an issue I'm aware of and cannot fix. It's caused by the Unofficial Fallout3 Patch and Broken Steel. There's a good description of what happens earlier in this thread.

It cannot be fixed by Fellout, Fellout is a victim of the conflict, not a cause.

@ topic title
Because dad deleted it from the comp -_-

unofficial fallout3 patch is not installed on my system, however broken steel is.

Fellout-Full is much better now with the latest revision.

Well that throws a spanner in the works. I'll see if I can fix this in the Broken Steel add-on.

Woo! Thanks hattix!

This might fix it and it might not. I haven't tested it yet.

thank you, that looks like it did the trick. if i find anything else i'll let you know.

Thanks. I just had a run down to Project Purity and it does seem to have done the trick. I've updated the DLC Add-ons over on the Nexus.

Too late as 1.1 is released, but I'm not using it because of the darker nights. I've never understood the upsides of having a more or less pitchblack game. I haven't used it enough to have opinions on other changes.

Because of the challenge. I use Fellout 1.1 without Nightvision. It's hell. I once came across a really big pack of Night Ghouls in the night. It was the only time my Energy Weapons Character grabbed her Minigun and started spraying. And lo and behold, she survived the night

wow.. lotta whiners here. turn up your monitor brightness or get NV mods.. or use SOTD. done deal.
as far as enemies knowing exactly where you are.. don't walk around like a tank and you'll won't feel
like you've been just hit by one. some of you people would be jailbait if you ever went night paintballing.

anyways, Fellout was the first mod I ever used, and it was/is brilliant. the non-SOTD nights are perfect.
sky is crisp and clean, terrific effects at sunup/down, multitude of colours, awesome. when i used another
mod for a way greener wasteland, the package was complete.. totally different feel of the game. daytime
can't see the distant enemies becouse of the trees, and at night i have to watch for distant glowing eyes. but all
this is moot becouse this is a "why i'm not using Fellout" thread. in my 35year old mind Fellout its 99% perfect.

So I'm a whiner because I don't like darker nights. Right. And people are whiners because they are answering the very question in the OP. Right. :rolleyes:

Well, that's sorta like answering "Why aren't you eating my chocolate?" with "I don't like chocolate". It's a bit "...ok?"
Fellout is -meant- to be pretty dark

I would ge glad if nobody was was eating my chocolate

I love Fellout, just for the darker nights. I don't care about the other weather

I use Fellout (Afraid of the Dark Edition) and Fellout DLC support modules. I didn't always like Fellout (and removed it from my load order once 3 days after first installing it, and reinstalled it again several days later after testing a series of weather mods). I don't use the full "dark nights" edition, even though the logic makes perfect sense to me. The issue I have is not with dark nights, but the lack of lighting in inhabited areas. NPCs are not affected by darkness, and people in places like Megaton, for example, hold odd schedules and seem perfectly fine navigating the dark while I can't find the player house without nightvision. I've tried a number of "lighting mods" but only continue to use "Megalights" (which still doesn't help that much--but it does make Megaton look better).

1) NPCs affected by darkness
2) proper lighting in inhabited areas

This would make Fellout "perfect", even though these features might be beyond the purview of Fellout.

No, it's rather like answering the question "Why aren't you using Fellout?" and then be called a whiner because you did.

is that not why the creator gave TWO night options? frankly I don't find the Fellout Full all that dark.

Ripple, I can't help you with #2, but v.3.4 of my Realism Tweaks (which I'll be releasing in a few hours) includes my new StealthQuestScript, which adds dynamic Time of Day and weather effect bonuses. The end result is that the NPCs no longer all have night vision, but have just as much trouble seeing you in the dark, as you have seeing them. Plus v.3.4 includes a new, greatly improved PipBoy Light. Plus the latest version of Fellout is not quite as dark at night.

I respect that you have a clear preference for Fellout and Hattix' fine work, but that you don't personally find Fellout Full "all that dark" does not legitimate you to call other people "whiners" (which I consider to be 'flame-baiting'), nor tell them they should "turn up the brightness" on their monitors (what would be the point of using Fellout Full then....?).



That is great news Arwen (I am also glad to see that your GPU issue has been resolved). You know I am already using your AI Tweak. Is the new feature attached to the AI Tweak module or only with the full module?

Fellout SOTD.
