EVE > ESSENTIAL VISUAL ENHANCEMENTS

Version: 1.19
Date: 6/17/2021
Category: Awesome Visuals


Description
================================================================
Many of you may remember semi-cosmic, nearly phenominal mod for FO3 entitled EVE:Energy Visuals Enhanced.
Well EVE is back! This time its built again from the ground up, but most importantly it covers ALL KINDS of visuals!
Not.Just.Energy-Weapons!

- critical kill scenes (via energy weapons)
- Bullet weapon impacts (water jumps, blood squirts, ect)
- unrivaled energy weapon textures/meshes
- new explosions
- custom HD impacts
- dazzling particles
- static mesh animations
- character reactions
- and more

NOTE: EVE is constantly growing and evolving so you should return here often.
ALSO NOTE: EVE is also available in Russian and Italian flavor!
ALSO DOUBLE NOTE: EVE is the coolest mod ever!


Details of Latest Release: v1.19
================================================================
- Reworked the handling of extra loot items potentially being placed in dying NPC inventory by other mods
- Revised .nif mesh files to resolve an issue that occurred when stealthy Nightkin were set afire with weapons such as a Flamer

This release brought to you by -5/+5 GMT.


Known Issues
===================================================
- The green energy chambers of the Q-35 Matter Modulator do not always show their electrical effect.
- Ash Piles and Goo Piles might [infrequently] fall through ground level; vanilla game engine issue.
- Ash Piles and Goo Piles might [infrequently] become embedded in other things in densely crowded areas; a result of minimizing "fall through".


Known Conflicts
===================================================
- Mods that replace the standard arm mounted Pip-Boy with a handheld device are known to potentially cause issues with other mods, including EVE (our "holographic" iron sights might or might not be visible at times).


Installing/Updating/Installing - Mod Conflicts
================================================================
IMPORTANT! Novac dissapearing is a bug in the vanilla game! Don't blame EVE (or any OTHER mod either foo' ).
*** NVSE is -NOT- needed! EVE will work 10000% fine even without it!
***EVE does -NOT- add energy weapon FX to bullet guns, don't blame this mod, it wasn't built by a teen***
***If your Laser Pistol is not iron-sights, this is because another mod LOWER than EVE in your load order does not have laser weapons set to 'Iron Sights'. Simple fix = move EVE to be the absolute 100% dead-last in your load order***


Installation Summary:

There are two (2) EVE installers: EVE v1.19, and EVE v1.19 Alternate.

Use EVE v1.19 for Nexus Mod manager (NMM), Fallout Mod Manager (FOMM), or Vortex. This is an "automatic file selection" installer. It will tell you which EVE option (All DLC, No GRA, No DLC) it will install, and it also identifies the DLCs that are present to make that the valid choice.  Use the Alternate installer described below if you have problems using this one.

Use EVE v1.19 - Alternate for Mod Organizer (MO and MO2). You must select one of the three options (All 5 DLCs, 4 DLCs but not GRA, No DLCs or no match) yourself. Each of the choices lists the DLCs that must be present for that choice to be correct. This installer also works with Nexus Mod manager (NMM), Fallout Mod Manager (FOMM), and Vortex.  Use this installer if you have problems using the main installer above.

Here is a list of the DLC requirements for each of the EVE variants:

  • "All DLC" requires all five of the DLCs installed: Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, Lonesome Road, and Gun Runners Arsenal. The installed EVE file is EVE FNV - ALL DLC.esp.

  • "No GRA" requires Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, and Lonesome Road; but not Gun Runners Arsenal. The installed EVE file is EVE FNV - NO GRA.esp.

  • "No DLC" is for no DLCs present, or the DLCs do not exactly match either of the ones above. The installed EVE file is EVE FNV - NO DLC.esp.

Ensure that the installed .esp file is properly enabled / activated.


When using Nexus Mod Manager (NMM) or Fallout Mod Manager (FOMM):

If you use a Mod Manager such as Nexus Mod Manager (NMM) or Fallout Mod Manager (FOMM), follow these steps:

- click the "Download With Manager" button.

- respond to prompts, allowing the mod to be downloaded and installed. Allow overwriting of files.

- activate the mod.

During activation, the appropriate EVE .esp file will be selected based upon which DLCs are currently installed *and* enabled. Any DLC that is installed but not enabled will be ignored.


When using Mod Organizer (MO or MO2):

If you use Mod Organizer (MO or MO2) to install EVE, you choose one of these three options: All 5 DLCs, 4 DLCs but not GRA, No DLCs or no match. The correct choice will depend on which DLCs (if any) are present.  Be sure to install the Alternate version of EVE; click the Download Manually button to download it, then have MO/MO2 execute that installer. Here is a list of the DLC requirements for each choice:

• Select All 5 DLCs if you have all five of the DLCs installed: Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, Lonesome Road, and Gun Runners Arsenal. The resulting .esp file will be EVE FNV - ALL DLC.esp.

• Select 4 DLCs, but not GRA if you do not have Gun Runners Arsenal, but do have these DLCs installed: Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, and Lonesome Road. The resulting .esp file will be EVE FNV - NO GRA.esp.

• Select No DLCs or no match if you have none of the DLCs or if your installed DLCs do not exactly match either of the two selections above. The resulting .esp file will be EVE FNV - NO DLC.esp.


Manual Installation:

Click the Download Manually" button to download the mod, then follow these steps:

- unpack the file; it may be in either .zip, .7z, or .rar format.

- open the resulting EVE folder.

- if present, copy the Meshes, Sound, and Textures folders into your game's DATA folder. Allow overwriting of files.

- select the correct EVE .esp and copy it into your DATA folder allowing overwrites. Choose only *one*. Using the wrong one can result in a crash at startup.

- enable the .esp file.

WARNING: Note that a correct manual install of a mod can be difficult and tricky, depending on its complexity and variety of files that need to be properly placed in the game's folders. So, in general, it is best to use a "mod manager" for installing mods into games (especially by players who are new to adding mods).


Load Order
================================================================

--> FalloutNV.esm
--> the DLCs if you have any
--> your other mods and patches
--> EVE FNV - ALL DLC.esp (or one of the other EVE .esp files)
--> add-ons and patches for EVE

If you experience <!> error indicators, then you have one or more faulty installs. For other anomalies or strange things, you may be having a mod "conflict". Learn how to make a bashed patch, or try positioning EVE last (or near last) in your "load order" sequence.


Aiming Styles
================================================================

If you want to be able to aim by looking along the top of energy weapons ("iron sights" style), (1) do *not* install the "EVE True Iron Sights Disabled" patch, then (2) start the game, select Settings at the main menu, select Gameplay, set True Iron Sights to be ON.

If you want to aim with energy weapons held to the side instead of looking along the top of them, (1) install the "EVE True Iron Sights Disabled" patch, then (2) start the game, select Settings at the main menu, select Gameplay, set True Iron Sights to be OFF.


Recommended Mods To Use With EVE: (go download these asap)

You'll be glad you have this when you witness EVE's gore FX
Enhanced Blood Textures

- Meltdown Medley : Along the lines of the whole ''crit kill' theme, Meltdown Medley overhauls the original Meltdown perk in game so that the death visuals added by the perk match the color of the weapon used to cause the effect. EVE CP included!

Credits
================================================================
- 1st and formost is CaBaL120 for his texturing. He's provided numerous weapon retextures, the likes of which
are unrivaled! Your EVE experience would only be half as balls-to-the-wall awesome without his hard work on this.

- jonnyeah : So much stuff he's a co-author.

- Tapioks : some creepy ultra-realistic "skin pile" and skeleton texture! Marketing help! haha, and more to come im sure!

- AlexScorpion : Awesome script for dropping microfusioncells when reloading.

- Crawlius : Water explosion sound effects.

- joefoxx082 : Fixed Iron Sight animations for laser pistols and rifles.

- Hairylegs222 and EmeraldReign: a very much long-overdue update that brought EVE up to a highly respectable 'final' state for v1.15(a)!

- Athelbras: bug fixes and scripted installers (v1.15b through v1.18)


Additional/Optional content, to go!
================================================================
- A "Plasma For The People - Plasma Pack Plus" has been released for those who want to further customize their plasma weapons. In the file you find thumbnails (like previews) of what each alternate projectile looks like.
To use a particular one, go to data/textures/eve/projectiles and find the weapon whose projectile/impact you'd like to change.
(e.g. PlasmaCasterSheet01.dds) and take the alternate one of your choice from the PP+ and rename it to match, simply drag-n-drop and overwrite when asked. (you may want to backup the originals!) Afterwards, the weapon will display all impacts and its projectile as the one you've chosen

- For advanced users (those with PS, GIMP, or Paint.net): You can also use the optional layers to mix-n-match for totally
new custom looks! Simply choose which ones you want, stack 'em in the order you like, and FLATTEN before saving, then just
save/overwrite over the weapon of your choice (e.g. PlasmaRifleSheet01.dds in textures/eve/projectiles) and just like that,
the weapon's projectile as well as impacts, will display the one you've made!

Past details of previous download: V1.17

Note that because they can be moved, NPCs can also knock them around and sometimes turn them over. Only data files are updated, not EVE's .esp file - so it is fully compatible with other EVE-related mods and patches. Allow overwriting of files.

Licensing/Legal
================================================================
What you find in this mod is the creation of WJS (and others) and belongs to EVE mod.

*borrowing* these amazing assets for use in your own little mod you release here WITHOUT permission
means you'd be insta-banned from Nexus.

* * For compatiblity patches please ask for permission BEFORE you release.

* * * *Oh, and just so you know, every mesh, and every texture has a "bogus node" or "watermark"
that I'm certain you'll never find. So its quite easy for me to know if you've used,
tweaked, altered, or modified then released anything from the EVE mod. (so play nice)* * * *

why not ASK 1st!!!!!!
