Mono's Lore-Friendly Equipment Pack[edit | edit source]

This page covers some additional equipment, mostly weaponry, as well as seeking to balance out the packs already in F&L. The main focus of this pack can be neatly summed up in two tenets:

  1. Only include equipment which has sufficiently high quality to seem as though it might originally have been part of the game. This includes quality of design, but also implementation and art style. I will for example never include weaponry which looks much more modern than the art direction employed in New Vegas, as I find this diminishes the overall aesthetic.
  2. Attempt to make said mods follow the same precedence in terms of balance, appearance or implementation. This is an extension on the previous tenet, but mostly serves to dictate that no two mods have a noticeable gap in quality, or that any of the mods overlap each other. The most noticeable change will be that I have renamed all weapons to use more general names, like the vanilla "Sniper Rifle" or "12.7mm Pistol".

I might extend on these tenants as I develop this more, especially the part about what aesthetic I look for, but for now they fit their purpose. Due to the nature of what the pack sets out to do, it will naturally overlap with some of the weapons included in the two other F&L weapons packs, and you're free to add the missing weapons manually, but doing so would probably take away from part of the point with this pack. It should also be noted that unlike EssArrBee's Additional Weapons, I will supply the plugins already merged, as I've rebalanced several weapon packs to my own personal taste.

One thing I'd recommend you to do if you've been following Fear and Loathing and want to get this pack's intended experience, is to uninstall the Dragonskin Tactical Outfit mod, as that type of body armor doesn't really fit with the retro-futuristic vibe of the game, and digital camouflage certainly does not.

Current Version: v0.6.8

  • NOTE FOR RETURNING USERS: Read the paragraph in the description about the Dragonskin Tactical Outfit mod. Always check the changelog to make sure you have update the mods to the latest versions. Version v0.6.8 was released on the 10th of December.

Millenia's Weapons[edit | edit source]

The weapon guru himself, while undeniably a venerable being when it comes to modelling and texturing, tends to like his firearms a lot stronger than Obsidian does. This tries to fix that, and provides you with a single plugin for his additional mods - or at least the ones that fit the pack.

Weapons of the New Millenia Rebalanced[edit | edit source]

This plugin rebalances all the weapons included in WotNM, renames them following vanilla precedence, and removes some of the lower quality ones. Can be seen as a continuation of my work on this. As of 2.0 it also incorporates the CaliberX patch, as well as rebalancing the vendor plugin from CaliberX so it no longer offers 1000 of every ammunition type.

Additional Mods[edit | edit source]

SVD sniper rifle v1_5[edit | edit source]
  • Author: Eprdox
  • Version: v1.5
  • Installation: Get the SVD sniper rifle 1_5 main file.

These will be integrated with the Project Nevada - Equipment Module as a replacement for the Chinese Sniper Rifle and its unique which has been renamed to Yazi Vanguard Rifle. Move any included plugins to Optional ESPs in MO.

Wattz Laser Weapons[edit | edit source]
  • Author: joefoxx
  • Version: 1.1
  • Installation: Since this is a Fallout 3 mod we will only be using the models and textures. Get the Wattz Laser Weapons V2 main file manually and follow these instructions:
Click the install from archive button Archive MO.png and select the archive you just downloaded in the pop-up.
Choose [Manual] and untick everything except for the meshes and textures folders.
Click [OK].

These will be integrated with the Project Nevada - Equipment Module as a replacement for the Wattz Laser Pistol, and through a new unique called the Magneto-Laser Pistol (sold by Knight Torres). The screenshots for the mod aren't that good, but the textures are 2048x2048 and I made the regular pistol use the glow map from the unique so that it doesn't look like shining stone.

Wattz Laser Rifle[edit | edit source]
  • Author: Travis
  • Version: v1.0
  • Installation: Get the Main File With Fixed Environment maps main file.

This will be integrated with the Project Nevada - Equipment Module as a replacement for the Wattz Laser Rifle. Move any included plugins to Optional ESPs in MO. The default meshes don't have working iron sights, but the author has given me permission to provide fixed meshes for this pack. They are included in the Mono's Project Nevada Plugins archive.

Mono's Project Nevada Plugins[edit | edit source]

This is a modified version of the Project Nevada Equipment Module. It removes some of the uglier armors and weapons, replaces the .44 Pistol with Millenia's Desert Eagle, the Chinese Sniper Rifle (as well as the unique) with Eprdox's Dragunov, the Wattz Laser Pistol with joefoxx's Wattz Laser Pistol (as well as adding a new unique) and the Wattz Laser Rifle with Travis' Wattz Laser Rifle. Also includes modified versions of the WMX and EVE patches, as well as making some of the weapons use CaliberX ammunition.

Mono's Spice of Life Package[edit | edit source]

Full changelog:

v1.0:
Changed the Rogue Ranger Duster to light armor
Changed the Rogue Ranger Duster's weight from "20" to "14"
Changed the Rogue Ranger Duster's item HP from "400" to "200"

Created a new effect for the Rogue Ranger Duster giving 2+ Guns and 2+ Unarmed and added it to the armor
Changed the meshes for the Rogue Ranger Duster to use the default path for the jacket from the Mercenary Adventurer Outfit, so as to use the higher res version from WCHR
Changed the meshes for the Rogue Ranger Duster to use the higher res version of the Ranger Patrol Armor for the kneeguards
Changed the meshes for the Rogue Ranger Duster to use a custom version of ADAM's (2x as large) texture, made especially for this armor
Changed the Rogue Ranger Helmet's item HP from "50" to "70"

Removed the "broken" prescript from the Rogue Ranger Helmets, following the precedence of ADAM's Outcast Mask which doesn't have vision modes either

Changed the Rogue Ranger Duster DT from "8" to "9"
Renamed the "Painted Rogue Ranger Helmet" to "Painted Ranger Helmet"

Added all appropriate helmets to Advanced Recon vision lists
v1.1.1:
Changed the neck cover for the Roguer Ranger helmets to use the Necklace slot so it doesn't make raiders' heads disappear. Shoutout to Skadi for the heads up.
Mono's WMX Plugins[edit | edit source]
  • Author: MonoAccipiter
  • Version: v1.0

This includes a modified version of the main WMX plugin as well as the DLC plugin. I have removed the .223 Pistol and the Battle Rifle since they were essentially differently named duplicates of their GRA equivalents; and removed the Dead Money guns from various shop lists WMX added them to. Since I did not want to hurt anyone currently in a game, I only removed them from leveled lists, meaning that if you owned one it won't disappear, but the next time shops restock they won't have it anymore.

Full changelog:

v1.0:
Removed the .233 Pistol from all leveled lists, if you have one it won't disappear from your inventory
Removed the Battle Rifle from all leveled lists, if you have one it won't disappear from your inventory
Renamed the ".233 Pistol Long Barrel" to "5.56mm Pistol Long Barrel"
Removed the Police Pistol from all vanilla shops (i.e. not the DLC)
Removed the Automatic Rifle from all vanilla shops (i.e. not the DLC)
It's Armor, not Armour![edit | edit source]
  • Author: Antistar(95%) and MonoAccipiter (5%)
  • Version: v1.0

This is a modified version of Antistar's Armour Repair Kits which changes all mentions of "Armour" to "Armor". I don't really mind BE, but in a game filled with AE it sticks out like a sore thumb.

Forge Beyond[edit | edit source]
  • Author: EmeraldReign
  • Version: v1.0a

Three beautiful guns seamlessly integrated into the game. Too bad EmeralReign never expanded on this like he planned to.

Scratchmade Campo-Giro Model 1913[edit | edit source]
  • Author: MonoAccipiter
  • Version: v2.1

You got me! I made this pistol, so I'm obviously biased. I do however think it upholds the pack's two tenets, and it even has a "lore friendly name" out of the box. Do however feel free to skip it if you think my judgement has been compromised.
