New Vegas - NMC texture mod.. someone mirror it please..

[ortucis]

NMC Texture pack (LARGE needed)

.. also..

Nevada Skies (AllInOne and Vanilla version I guess)

The large pack (and skies pack as well). Can someone please make a torrent out of it? (it isn't on Gamershell and only they create torrents for such stuff)

I already found a medium pack torrent mirror from some Russian site but I can hardly see any difference in textures in-game (only in some areas). I guess I will need the larger one to really see the sharpness in the world I am looking for (or do I?). I really have no idea how this guy managed to make a 4.7 GB medium pack without making any siginificant improvement to the visuals. I am no HDTP expert but "WHAT THE FUCK?" is what I want to know, going on.

The retarded video AD on nexus never plays for me until I disable the host file blocks. But even after it does play (after disabling host file blocks) the page only shows mirror names without links. I have tried to download the files on four browsers now and all end up with the same problem.


So someone please upload this amazing hardwork by NMC since I.. wait, what's this?..

As I have had other mods re-released without my permission, and often without even a credit, I would like to explicitly state:

"I want this mod to remain here on Fallout Nexus and NOT re-uploaded to any other sites (Why? If someone wants to re-release it, will he think twice about not giving you credit cause you made it FALLOUT NEXUS EXCLUSIVE?)- I will provide mirror sites if necessary (No you won't, because..). Please do not PM me or post in the thread regarding any file-hosting, repacks etc. (so if we need a mirror for some reason.. LIKE FUCKING AD SHITE SCREWING UP LINKS.. we are supposed to contact him using telepathy or pigeons?)"


PS. I am looking for work as a (paid!) texture artist, so please contact me if interested (I was about to but the job offer comes under that "etc.")

Dear modders,
Stop fucking around.

You could be dead tomorrow, your site could be nuked by Pakis, your domain expired or maybe the place you host your mods comes up with a retarded AD system that doesn't work for everyone in the frackin world, preventing anyone from downloading your 200GB megatexture mod.

Either way, let the gamers create mirrors for your mods on thousand other sites out there without stupid conditions which don't really do anything (since you are poor as shit and can't afford to sue the people who will defy your conditions anyway).

FFS, could it get any more arbitrary? He's good but fuck that shit, I don't need some retard's own "reimagination" shitting on both consistency and performance just because he can. Vanilla textures are often diarrheic but at least there's a visual consistency.

Obviously he's trying to use it to help him get a job and wants the rack up the download count on one site so that he can put it on the resume. Still a retard though.

Why exactly do you need this shitty mod so much?

 

[ortucis]

I already got the mods thanks to Bahamut linking me to it on the day of posting.

Also, these are the only two mods I wanted for obvious reasons..








Also, installed this.. for obvious reasons..

 

[Excidium]

Where did you get that beret? Mod too?

 

[Random]

The beret you get from Boone.

@ villain of the story
so true

@ ortucis
excuse my blindness, but what exactly are the "obvious reasons" ?
tits?

 

[villain of the story]

You can get the 1st Recon Beret from Boone for completing his quest in Novac, pickpocket it from Manny Vargas or from the 1st Recon members in Camp McCarran. Or if one of the 1st Recon members die during the attack on Driver Nephi. It gives PER +1 and Crit Chance +5%.

Yeah, vanilla's are consistently ugly and blurry.

@ ortucis

- The Skies mod really ups the beauty of the wasteland as far as I am concerned. It also adds different weather effects like rain, sandstorms (these are really fucked up, see the screenshot, creates a scary atmosphere... if there was a threat effect attached to them, still nice), radiation storms like in STALKER (I have it disabled though) and dark nights like STALKER again.

- The textures I downloaded cause a) the high quality normal maps actually look good esp. on walls indoors and b) already finished the game twice so new textures refresh the atmosphere esp. now that I will be playing all the DLC's.

- The body mod makes women more curvy instead of them looking like boys with tit jobs while changing all armors a bit to adapt to the new bodies. I always pick a female character in RPG's if given an option so this mod removes the eyesore of Bethesda's attempt at female form.

Oh and I just remembered, I installed HD weapon textures mod as well. Fallout 3 has realistic visual style so new texture replacements don't ruin the game. If the game had a Warcraft like cartoon art style and someone replaced them with realistic textures, then I would bitch about them and never use such a mod. NMC's textures really refresh the environment and actually add color to the world, which is a good thing.



Darker Nights (I have set the nights to be a bit brighter than what mod original turns them into, the unrealistic dark-ass nights from STALKER):





Sandstorms:







Rain starting (it has whole lightining and sound effects, hard to capture that). The rain turned blue skies to dark slowly, which was a nice effect, just like sandstorms change the mood drastically):




The skies mod gives you a lot of options in the in-game menu to change the frequency and amount of weather effects (among other things). Personally I just wanted it for the new skies, the weather is added bonus (and I do disable most of the weather cause I just want the pretty skies).

So basically, these mods are recommended for anyone who has played the game once already. Feels like a new game.. almost.

 

[villain of the story]

Oh yeah, Nevada Skies is actually some pretty fucking incline. Ups the atmosphere a lot without compromising consistency. It even adds a few AI responses to NPCs so they will cover or run to indoors during storms.

Doesn't FNV have a mod to reduce those horrible neck seams?

 

[ortucis]

Doesn't FNV have a mod to reduce those horrible neck seams?

I think the neck-seams is the result of Facegen. If the game used a preset model there wouldn't be any seams. Right now you have to match the face and body texture to reduce the seaming as far as I know.

Either way, doesn't bother me cause I don't really stare at models. The body mod is recommended though, it improves female bodies and adds high-res skin textures. It also gives the option to change other females like Raiders to more dirty look during installation (including pointless "natural bushes".. if you are fapping to the game models I guess).

 

[Surf Solar]

The Nevada Skies Mod really adds something. Download it, ye. It expands on the normal atmosphere of the game, isn't some retarded "lololo Imma cheat111" mod and even introduces some unique perks.

I've uploaded some random storms here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqlK5SsHtwE - start at 00:25 - there is rain and the sandstorm activated.
