BUG REPORTING / FEEDBACK (General)


To everyone who wants to help make my mods run as smooth and bug free as possible.

Please throw as much feedback to me on every little thing that looks bugged or out of place, as all this will assist me in making the mod run as smooth and bug free as possible :0)

As I always say: A mod is only as good as the feedback from its users ^^

Things I'm mainly looking for:
  • In combat: Does the actors' combat behavior in a negative way appear to stray from that of the actor it replaces?
  • Are actors set as "dead" or "inactive" by default, in any way distorted or misplaced?
  • Do the actors properly navigate obstacles, or do they appear to get stuck more often than the actors they replace?
  • Are you able to properly interact or open dialog with actors and objects this mod replace or add to the game world?
  • Shifting textures, When coming across actors or objects that are effect by the mod, do texture surfaces appear to "flicker" or sporadically shift?
  • Any kind of distortion or floating parts?
  • Confirmed reports of conflicts between my mod and other mods will also be a big help.

Some or maybe even none of the above will be relevant to the mod in question and it's not in any way to say that I'm not interested in getting reports of anything not on the list, it is just some of the more common ones and I say again, any feedback on bugs or errors will be much appreciated.

Reporting
To begin with people can report any problems they might experience, in the "Comments" section of the mod.

But have I not in one way or another responded to the report, or the problem hasn't solved itself within 24 hours from posting the report, please feel more then welcome to PM me directly, as I at times experience not getting pinged by Nexus when comments have been posted on my mod.

DESCRIPTION:

------------------------------------------------------------
This mod will change the armor and standard issued Minigun of the US heavy infantry found in the Anchorage.

All the elements that has been change, have been done in a way so that it will not break the "lore" (For those interested in that sort of stuff), which means that all arms and armors are versions of gear that can be found in the Wasteland, but in a much more mint condition, as they are from a time before the "apocalypse".

In any case I'll let the pictures in the "Images" section tell the rest ^^

INSTALLATION (General):

------------------------------------------------------------
Just in case someone don't know how to do this.

Manual Install:
  • Download
  • Extract the .ESP and files to the "Data" directory of Fallout3.
  • Activate the .ESP by "ticking" it in the mod selection window.
  • Done


FOMM Install:
  • Download
  • Create a folder with the mod name and place any .ESP / .ESM along with "Textures" and "Meshes" folders (If any) inside it. (Creating a mod folder is of cause only necessary if the download doesn't already include such a folder. Should the download contain a folder with the name "DATA" I'd suggest renaming this folder to the name of the mod instead).
  • Zip the folder containing the files and place the Zip on the desktop for easy access.
  • Open FOMM and click the button that says "Package Manager".
  • In the new window click the button that says "Add FOMod".
  • Located the Zip you just made and double click it.
  • Once the "Package Manager" is done building the "FOMod", located the mod you just added in the list of mods shown in the "Package Manager" window, once located double click it to install.
  • When the "Package Manager" has completed the install close the "Package Manager" window.
  • If the mod you just installed requires a specific load order, remember to double check the mod list in the FOMM main window, to make sure the mod is in the right place.
  • Done

NEW Files - "Anchorage - Reinforced US Heavy Infantry v2"
This download has all the same features as the v1 with a few changes.

1. .ESP has been thoroughly cleaned.
Discovered that I had completely forgotten to remove all the left over stuff that was added doing the creation of the .ESP.
The objects was nothing major and would not have been effecting anything in the game negatively or causing conflicts, just plain sloppy.

2. One new feature is the changing of the weapons of the two powerarmored infantry men in the base camp.

They used to be equipped with G3 rifles, which I found rather strange since none of those units uses anything but heavy weapons in combat, so they have now been equipped with Miniguns instead.

There might be one small bug in one of them though.

I have been experiencing that the one standing behind the tent doing some target practicing, would sometimes freeze in the same pose while aiming the minigun at the target, for now I will ignore this, but should anyone know how to fix this, I would really like to know how to do it :0)

--------------------------

NEW Files - "Anchorage - Reinforced USHI v2 - ALT"
This download features an alternate helmet.

The helmet have been adapted from the heavy armor found in Tactical Armor and Weapon RU (Author Scail).

Main meshes and textures is required.

--------------------------

NEW File - "Anchorage - Reinforced USHI Wasteland v1"
This download will alter the Wasteland version of the powerarmor you receive as a reward for completing the Anchorage sim.

The Wasteland version will now resemble the armor from my mod.

Main meshes and textures is required.

MOD BACKGROUND:

------------------------------------------------------------
This is my 4th mod in my series of Anchorage related mods, this time with focus on the US Powerarmored infantry from the Anchorage DLC.

I tried to stay as close to the vanilla items already found in the Wasteland, but still making the gear look as of a different time, before the nuclear holocaust.

This was done by using gear that appears less tarnished i.e. the minigun have less rust and the armor plating is less damaged and so on.

I have chosen to change the T-51B into the regular powerarmor as I find it rather strange that an armor from before the fall of civilization, would have a lesser protective quality in the form of plate coverage, then the ones found after.

Also I find the T-51B to be very clumsy looking compared to the powerarmor, basically it looks like bubbles stacked on top of each other.

Furthermore I had to make allot of changes to the powerarmor tent, this was done because despite several attempts, I was not able to figure out how to make a static version of the vanilla powerarmor to replace the T-51B armors mounted on the armor racks.

But I still haven't given up on it just yet, so might be back to change some of this at a later point.
