[could you add the ability to at least supply the mercs with new ammo/weapons, because for the enhancer mods like FWE, the mercs called in have very low survivability.]
Use the G key on the individual soldier and you can select to access their inventory and give them better weapons.
If more comprehensive control is needed. I use: [X] Sharing and Caring Companions.esm [X] SCC - Talk to Anyone.esp [X] RemoteControlCompanionsPlus.esp
And between those you can give your people what they need
s*** I was liking this mod but the G key does not work,, at least I don't think. I press the G key, nothing happens, not at a prisoner, not at enclave prospects, nothing, I reset I doesn't help that G is the grenade hotkey for FWE, but afer I change that button the g key doesn't work still.
If there was a video on how to use this stuff I might figure this out but there's none as far as I can tell.
EDIT: Had to reinstall, now works like a charm. Bit of advice, companions tend to kill the baddies as they are in the process of kneeling, keep the console command button ready and do tcai to disable combat AI until the surreneder is complete. It will save headaches.
Was the rather unusual bug that caused the NPC's to only use generic dialogue responses fixed (ie, Enclave no longer refers to various Search Patterns, instead saying Come out come out wherever you are etc)
so does this version have controller support? getting awfully tired of having to switch to keyboard in order actually tell the vertibirds where to land.
My Son is driving me Nuts because he has the tesla cannon but NO OPTION to Recruit the God Dammed Brotherhood Soldiers. I Believe that This mod is not working. Please what else is needed to get the Brotherhood recruited. The Boy is really Stressing me out with this Crap. HELP.
It has been a long time that I have played Fallout 3 but i would be happy to check --You have a Tesla cannon in your inventory but cannot recruit Brotherhood of Steel Soldiers? If so I have to set up my install to see what the problem might be...
EDIT* I see what the problem might be, inside the game for the NOTEs section, to recruit Brotherhood of Steel insure --Tesla Cannon is in inventory --You are wearing Brotherhood of Steel Helmet and Armor (since mods may alter that armor with different IDs but same description, the pilot is selling correct Brotherhood of Steel Armour. --Insure you have a mutant blood sample in inventory.
This is not documented anywhere else except in the NOTEs section of the your inventory for the mod so it can be missed and I have updated the description accordingly.
Once the settings of the troops are employed, even of you get rid of those items your preferred troop will be the ones deployed unless you go into the EC Options again, in which case only those troops that you have the prerequisites for will appear.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * What a blast from the past reconstituting my several year old FO3 install originally on XP several years ago. The game kept crashing everytime I attempted to leave Megaton with the Tesla Cannon to test the issue as I had the Vertibird outside its gates. To get out of those crashes an old school workaround --drop a powerful grenade and kill yourself. When the game reloads you should be able to proceed as I did out Megaton's gates. Apparently the action blows away bad data causing the crash and when it reloads, you get your explosive back and can proceed normally
bugfixex and non-cheaty mod which is great, how ever did u remove the American army? and do we need to wear the factions armor to request them? it will be easier if we had them when we complete their quest?
Brilliant! I was thinking of implementing some of these features in my own setup starting with the original mod, then I saw your mod! Are you still developing it? I was thinking of adding speech/barter/charisma requirements to radio and squad commands so it's more useful to a leader/charismatic role.
Yes, you can make changes and upload it separately, but of course give credit to all the authors and explain what changes are made. I wanted it to be somewhat more lore friendly, not giving the player everything at once and also using some aspects such as the baton to have other options rather than killing everyone. to subdue hostiles for interrogation which can be used apart from the other parts of the mod.
The next big step would be to have actual voiced dialogue, but I do not know if i will get around to it.
>>adding speech/barter/charisma requirements to radio and squad commands<<
This might good, I had included requiring certain pieces of equipment (as the result of doing the game's quest ) to get better troops. As a failsafe, such equipment is for sale from the pilot.Which helps if a player sold off or otherwise lost the gear and to further act as a cap sponge (40,000 caps and nothing to spend it on, oh wait..) With your idea, the player has to put some points into those skills... I may steal your idea and incorporate it in at some point...
Yes there are some notes given to help explain the backstory and what is going on. An important note is instructions how to use the mod and originally comes from J3x's upload, updated for changes here.
Try it again, it should be there. Or maybe try a different server. I just successfully downloaded it to insure nothing funny was going on. Sometimes the Internet is just cantankerous
Shall pray I find a stable fallout then I might be able to use this tinker toy. Thought I wonder if my poor computer can handle it, remembers I tend to overdo mmm quite a bit with increased increased spawns hardcore with maximum dps and unleveler so can get very insane at times. So wonder how my computer will handle additional squads hopping into the middle of it all
Even if you do not call a squad, you may like some of the stuff the pilot is selling, among them
--Stimpak healinator= you can use it to bring to full health any NPC. uses one stimpak
--medical revival tool / robot repair wrench = use them to resurrect human / robotic NPCs. Uses appropriate chems / materials
--subdue baton=ensure soldier command "take prisoners" is enabled. Human type NPCs (not creatures, supermutants or robots) can be beaten down until they surrender.Now you can "interrogate" them which may have some interesting results.
--bug bomb =heave the bomb, where it lands a "bug" emerges, bloatfly, ant, or rad-scorpion. Use it to distract enemies or cause random mayhem
>I want to change prices for the various services , attacks and soldier requests<
Look at the bottom of the Description readme for the scripts where the prices are adjusted. Go into the GECK and make the changes you desire remembering to make the appropriate changes in the various messages.

No you get other armies but have to earn them as part of miniquests or buy the needed items from the pilot.
If there was a video on how to use this stuff I might figure this out but there's none as far as I can tell.
