Title: FO4 mods already available at Nexus
Post by: PZ on November 10, 2015, 03:40:18 PM
I found these so far:

Quite a bit more, but a few of these will make me a much happier gamer  ^-^

I came across this Notepad++ accessible hack that removes the top end frame cap.

From what I understand changing the correct line's value from 1 to 0 allows your GPU to set it's own limit on the frame rate it can cope with.

Nice, I may grab that unlock one, but the others I'd pass on to play the game as it was meant for the first time anyway.

As for the FPS cap hack that Mandru posted, there's apparently a problem with doing that, as the physics engine is tied to your frame rate (according to the comments below that post) and a fix someone posted on reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/fo4/comments/3s6ile/disable_vsync_for_zero_input_lag_and_limit_fps (https://www.reddit.com/r/fo4/comments/3s6ile/disable_vsync_for_zero_input_lag_and_limit_fps)

Is a bit more complex, but supposedly fixes it. If I see any issues if/when (who am I kidding, it's when) I play the game, then I'll look into that. So, mostly my reason for posting here was to save that link lol.

Good posts, gents  :-X

I'll play vanilla at least once.  However, knowing how I typically play, will likely apply the cheats half way through the game  :angel:

Dang, the number of Fallout 4 mods is exploding on the Nexus - now at 216 and counting.  I can tell this one is going to be as much fun as what I had in FO3 (never really appreciated FNV)

I came across this possible modding and cheat treasure cache but someone will need to look it over to see if there's anything useful as it's all Greek to me.

Those mostly look like console commands, to give you various weapons, armor, increased stats, etc. The teleport to a room with all weapons sounds interesting.....

If I do end up with the game I guess I'll need to learn how to use console commands.  Some of those options look pretty sweet.  :-D

Console commands are about as easy as it gets - hit the tilde (~) key to open the console and then type the command. Tilde again and the console closes

Title: Re: FO4 mods already available at Nexus
Post by: fragger on January 13, 2016, 02:03:25 PM
 :-D They do, don't they?

Would a laser weapon actually make any noise? It's just emitting light, albeit at high energy. A real laser weapon, if there was such a thing, would probably make no more noise than a flashlight being switched on or off - the trigger or fire button or whatever would probably be the loudest component. There may be a faint hum or something while it's operating. But that wouldn't sound very dramatic, would it?

The ray gun fights in movies like Star Wars wouldn't have much impact without the echoey CHOONG noises :-()

Post by: JRD on January 13, 2016, 04:26:09 PM
Great vid and very nice mod GKID. I just don't think I would keep it since the pew-pew-pew is quite annoying.  :-()

The noise laser weapons make in Borderlands The Pre Sequel is much better in my opinion. But again, whoever created this mod wasn't being serious, so kudos to him. :-X

I remember seeing an experiment with a laser once. Can't remember what it was about but I do remember the buzz coming from the laser. Not the light beam of course but rather a muffled buzz the equipment emmited when it was on. So I guess if a noise would be heard, it would be something like that.
Title: Re: FO4 mods already available at Nexus
Post by: Dweller_Benthos on January 14, 2016, 09:01:42 AM
Yeah, real lasers make almost no noise. There is the hum and buzz of the electricity needed to power the thing, but the actual beam is just light, and pretty much silent. There may be a popping or clicking sound of various electronic components being turned on and off, as most lasers that are used for any type of destructive operation need time for the smoke to clear, from whatever is vaporizing off the target. The smoke and debris  from the first shot needs to to disperse before the next pulse is fired. Otherwise, the laser beam would get blocked or refracted and not be as effective.

But an actual hand carried laser weapon might make certain other noises associated with the electronics/power systems needed to make it w@&k, or the cooling system, but the actual beam of light would be silent, unless it's a combined laser/projectile system where the laser "softens up" the target for the projectile to penetrate more effectively.

Any of these might be the "pew pew" noise, who knows? If anyone has an actual hand carried laser weapon, they aren't talking as far as I know.
Title: Re: FO4 mods already available at Nexus
Post by: mandru on January 14, 2016, 10:07:06 AM
If a laser were powerful enough that it was actually burning the air it passed through I would expect something like a crack of thunder from the surrounding air rushing back in to fill the vacuum.

I dimly remember a show long ago discussing lasers as weapons where it came up that for really powerful lasers there would need to be a primary pilot beam fired first to clear potentially distorting atmosphere out of the way for the powerful blast immediately released afterwards to cut through unimpeded.

But as far as a silent laser...  ????   What fun is a decimating kill if your target doesn't have an agonizing moment where they realize what's in store for them?  >:D

The Pentagon's DARPA is experimenting with this laser weapon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Energy_Liquid_Laser_Area_Defense_System). Should be capable to shoot down missiles and other projectiles. Not man portable (for obvious reasons), but it may be used on ships/vehicles in the future.
Title: Re: FO4 mods already available at Nexus
Post by: fragger on January 14, 2016, 03:33:16 PM
There are some good points raised by you guys regarding smoke and air diffusing the beam, I never really thought about those aspects of it.

I did find some stuff on YuoTube from this guy, a bit of a garage laser enthusiast by the looks of it. He's got a few other short clips besides this one of laser-related things he's come up with:

This guy is fireing a 8x40W laser array through a magnifying glass. In the golf ball example and the ones near the end of the video you can clearly see the beams converging into the target. It's like killing ants on a sunny day.

Ingenious but not genius. The cool part is getting all the hardware and putting it all together and then setting things on fire at your garage (or at your parent's garage given the age that lad may be).

I just can't see how it is a shotgun.

Yeah, I don't know where he gets off calling it a shotgun. It's more like a laser pointer on steroids :-D

Post by: Dweller_Benthos on January 18, 2016, 07:49:19 AM
Case in point, though, you'll notice there is no sound while firing the laser he built. That thing is pretty cool, I have to admit. But really, he's setting stuff on fire that's already pretty flammable.
Title: Re: FO4 mods already available at Nexus
Post by: fragger on January 18, 2016, 05:07:44 PM
True, you could pretty much do what he does with a magnifying glass on a sunny day, just maybe not quite as quickly.

And true, no science-fictiony blaster noises coming from that thing :-D

A black or color saturated balloon is going to be a lot easier to pop with a laser that a light colored or reflective one.  After that you can expect a colored laser to do the most damage to a balloon of the color that sits opposite the beam's color on the primary color wheel.

A red beam will tend to almost completely reflect off of a red balloon and so on for the other color combinations.

Makes me wonder.. if you kill someone with a massive high energy laser pointer, whether or not he could have claimed to have taken the point. :-D

Actually that sparks a whole series of phrases with lethal laser pointers in mind:

* "Alright, there he is. I'll point him out."

* Duellists: Point-to-point connection.

* "I killed him point blank."

* A guy killed by several shots by several shooters. "What's your point?" "The one in the forehead."

* Definition of a Lethal Laser Pointer: Point of no return.

:-D

"I quickly pointed out the error in his assumption that I was someone to be trifled with."  ;)


In the eighth grade (it was a very rural K to 8 elementary school) when I first heard about the selective nature of laser light in that "based on its color it would affect one color more than another" during a science lesson.  The teacher was genuinely disturbed when I asked if laser weapons could be tuned specifically to a near white light so it would have little affect with pale skinned people and be more dangerous to people of darker skin shades.

I never got to see the comment that was added to my personal file for that one.  ????

If you go on a killing spree with a laser weapon, the police will issue an all-points bulletin.

@mandru, the comment was probably something like, "Keep an eye on this one - potential Klansman".

An amusing mod called Any Mod Any Weapon.  Just what it says experiment and stack insane mod combos.

I thought the 'Recoil Compensated Huge Rapid Gatling Laser' could come in handy but needed to be upgraded to triple barrel and electrified.  That 'Fluted Triple Barrel Target Seeking Fat Man' at the end of the clip is amusing as well.
