A World Of Pain

by David LeMaistre aka Dj Mystro


Description:


Adds approx 170 intense locations to the wasteland filled with enemies and loot. They vary from small Gas Stations to huge maze-like sewers and derelict factories. Adds several days of new gameplay possibilities. A massive new linked Underground complex awaits filled with quests, NPCs with dialogue, vendors and some of the toughest enemies you will encounter anywhere in the game. Also adds many  Mark II weapons, Armors and items to the game with enhanced statistics to help and hinder you throughout.

Everything has been done using vanilla content from the New Vegas base game. No DLC is required to play A World of Pain.

This mod is not to be used as a basis for launching an inter-galactic war under any circumstances. If I discover for now on, anyone duplicating the contents of this mod due to it's status as a modder's resource for that purpose and I'll set it to 100% copyrighted and if need be remove the mod entirely to save any more unpleasantness.


Optional:

-=WARNING=-

If you are updating AWOP for Dead Money from 2.0 you should do so before you start Dead Money as the file is now a master. Do NOT update if you are already playing Dead Money.


A World of Pain for Dead Money. If you have the Dead Money DLC and want to add some exciting new areas and add some Pain to the Sierra Madre. The new locations are some of the most detailed and unique that I have attempted so far and loot is very scarce. Ammo drops are mostly in bundles of 2-8 rounds and you'll need to use the reloading bench a lot and scavenge from every corner to get through the new encounters.

Also added are several new notes, recipes and healing items.


Installation:


Use your favourite Mod Manager to install A World of Pain. It is compatible with FOMM, NMM and Mod Organizer.


-=WARNING=-

If you are updating 5.01 to 5.4 and have any AWOP quests in progress, you should finish those quests before updating or you WILL break your save game.


Optional Requirements: Settings Menu


If you wish to use the built in settings menu, you will need:

NVSE http://nvse.silverlock.org
The Mod Configuration Menu
http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/42507

This will allow you to control the Loot Destruction settings and other options provided in the menu.
If you do not wish to use NVSE and MCM the mod will still function without them and use the default settings.


Optional Requirements: .INI File Edits


AWOP v6.01 and later versions no longer need .INI file edits in order for NPC's to have the correct faces and skin tone. However, other mods may still require them, in which case here are the edits to be made -- for performance reasons they should be avoided unless absolutely necessary:

Open the file 'Fallout_default.ini' which should be found in the Steam/SteamApps/Common/FalloutNV folder
Search for the line:

bLoadFaceGenHeadEGTFiles=0

and change it to:

bLoadFaceGenHeadEGTFiles=1

Repeat this process for both the FALLOUT.ini and FalloutPrefs.ini which should be located in your
My Documents/My Games/FalloutNV folder.

DONATIONS:

I have been asked many times about where fans can make a donation so I think my recently set-up bandcamp site would be best. You can buy an album or several or just make a donation and support my career at the same time:

Notes:

AWOP for FNV is officially a modders resource (also Psiclones) and can be used for any purpose the Nexus community sees fit. Feel free to copy out sections if it helps you get started on a mod.

AWOP for FO3 (and my other Fallout 3 project - Wasteland Defence) is NOT a modders resource. However I do give open permission for any of my mods to be patched *with a separate* .esp (or .esm if needed) in any way and for whatever reason (just to be clear duplicate main esm files are fine for the FNV stuff but not the FO3 stuff). Feel free to upload any patches without asking me for permission.

Duplicating the existing AWOP patches is fine as they are already patches though you will probably have to re-gain the permission of the original authors as well to avoid breaking any rules for uploading to the Nexus.
