About this mod
A plugin that makes you able to control your Pip-Boy in the game from your smartphone.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
Description
No-gore version of the game is not supported!
The announcement off Fallout 4 with the companion app gave me an idea to make such an app for Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 3. I tried to recreate the Pip-Boy as close to the original as possible. This mod allows you to use your smartphone to control the in-game Pip-Boy.

Installation

Connecting to the game
- Find your local IP address
You can go to start->cmd->ipconfig or start the game with this mod installed and look at the file real_pipboy.log in the fallout NV directory.
You should find some lines there that say on which IP the game is listening. For example: - Start the game normally
- In the app go the options page and the connection sub page.
- Fill in the IP and port in the boxes. The port should be 28115 is you didn't change it in the config file.
- Press connect. It should connect to your game. When it does not connect try again a few times or check your firewall settings.
It should pass through TCP connections on port 28115.
