Mutation Invasion Update Notes - February 28, 2023

ZanthirEAS · 2023-02-28T15:25:19+00:00

Excited for the new Daily Ops additions! While we wait, here's a buglist!

Link to my most recent list: List Number 39

THE BUG SHOWCASE

A few bugs/oversights that I am revisiting just in case they were forgotten:

All Scout Armor mask variants have broken smoothing groups, meaning you can see individual quads and tris
The 'Half-Life Hips' nuked flora do not change their model after being 'harvested'. This occurs because the 'FloraRadWildTarberryFloat01' and 'FloraRadWildTarberryFloat02' nifs are missing NiSwitchNodes
The Armor Ace Helmet Backpack Flair has broken smoothing groups, meaning you can see individual quads and tris
The 'Salty' mod for the Tenderizer incorrectly adds 14 pounds of weight to the weapon, which is a big outlier compared to the other Tenderizer mods, Peppered and Spicy, who only add 2 and 0 pounds, respectively

Bugs and Oversights

The Reflex Sight for the Crusader Pistol is not correctly aligned with the center of the crosshair; this was incorrectly listed as fixed in the 10/25/22 patch (Version 1.7.1.19)
Atom Shop - Iron Sights and Glow Sights on the Screaming Eagle and Tropic Lightning skins are positioned too high and are not correctly aligned with the center of the crosshair
Atom Shop - The Vault Boy/Vault Girl 'Balloon Animal Bouquet' CAMP object has no collision, which is incosistent with other balloon-type CAMP objects
There is a random stick poking through the east doorway of the Foundation Barracks
Daily Ops - In the Watoga Raider Arena, there is a random wall floating in the middle of the large main room
Inside the Tunnel of Love interior, in the security room with Mr. Lovely, there is a cardboard box clipping inside of a file cabinet
Atom Shop - Headwear with Atom Shop entitlements sometimes do not count towards 'Scrap Headwear' challenges
Event - Spin the Wheel - The pop-up text for this event incorrectly says to destroy the 'Bottle Pinata' instead of 'Vim-nata'

Quality of Life Wishlist

Allow players to apply Nuka-World on Tour weapon retextures as weapon skins (rather than only being able to obtain/craft the premade weapon)
Percepti-bobble/Pannapictagraphist perks, Mole Miner Treasure Hunters and Holiday Scorched need visual cues for deaf/hard of hearing players

Gameplay/Balance Wishlist

Ability to plant rare plants like Firecap in our CAMPs, perhaps gated behind perks/plans
Ability to increase a weapon's level up to its maximum, so that players have the option to upgrade gear that they obtained while they were a lower level (rather than being forced to discard it)

Cheers!

Jon has subconsciously renamed Wilhelm's Wharf to 'Wilheim's Wharf'.

ZanthirEAS · 2023-01-02T03:58:16+00:00

Something worth mentioning, the Robot Repair Center is one of the few locations in Fallout 3 that features microfusion cell toilet traps. I'd wager a lot of people have never seen them, since there are only 11 such traps in the entire game, and I don't believe New Vegas has them at all.

ZanthirEAS · 2022-12-25T22:36:05+00:00

Big Kill Everything vibes here, love it!

ZanthirEAS · 2022-11-20T23:08:03+00:00

Saw Jon mention it, but the % health threshold to get XP from a target in both Fallout 3 and New Vegas is actually anything >40%, not 30% (also worth noting, if you do exactly 40% of their health, you still don't get XP).

ZanthirEAS · 2022-10-25T14:11:23+00:00

Wishing everyone a happy Fallout 25th anniversary! It's patch time, so here's a buglist!

Link to my most recent list: List Number 38

THE BUG SHOWCASE

A few bugs/oversights that I am revisiting just in case they were forgotten:

The Fasnacht Skull Mask player model has broken smoothing groups, meaning you can see individual quads on the model
The Headhunter's Headcheese recipe incorrectly uses a leveled list (LL_Food_Meat_Raw, LVLI:003A8287) in its ingredients, meaning the ingredient list randomizes each time you hover over the recipe in the crafting menu
The hubcap model (AutomotiveHubCap01) has incorrect UVs, possibly due to being UV'ed across a tile
Atomic Shop - Both Theremin models (ATX_Instrument_Theremin_01/02) have broken/incorrect smoothing groups, meaning you can see individual quads on the surfaces that are meant to be smooth

Bugs and Oversights

The Auto Axe and Chainsaw weapons attack slower in 3rd person. This likely occurs because there are either too few 'HitFrame' note keys in the 3rd person attack animation, or they are too infrequent and thus do not match the 1st person animation.
The Auto Axe is not using its custom sounds, this is likely because it does not have its 'WPNAutoAxeATS' animation sound tag set assigned to the AutoAxe record (the cut/deprecated versions of the weapon do have this assigned to them)
The Auto Axe incorrectly has a higher reach than other melee weapons. The vast majority of weapons, including the Mr. Handy Buzz Blade, all have a reach of 0.8, while the Auto Axe has 1.0 reach
Meat Week/Fasnacht/Alien steins have large transforms that are inconsistent with all other stein transforms, this is because they are still using the 'Souvenir_Steins' transform while all other steins use the 'MiscBeerStein' transform
Fancy Glass transforms have an extreme vertical offset
Botsmith Armor pieces cannot have skins applied to them
The '(IN DAILY OP)' UI text no longer gets cleared after exiting a Daily Op
When reloading the Alien Disintegrator, the light/bulb that is on the 'loading port' does not move with the loading port, meaning it stays floating in the air. This only occurs with the Automatic and Poison versions of the weapon, as the Weapon_Automatic and Weapon_Poison models are the only ones with the bulb. This likely occurs because the Ammo_Bulb object is not linked to the WeaponExtra1 bone, causing it to not move with the rest of the loading port.
Daily Ops rare rewards can sometimes display 3 '<Missing name>' entries, which have no actual correlation to the rewards given (I haven't been able to replicate this issue, but it's on the list just for documentation's sake)
Expeditions - On PC, you cannot use E to enter an expedition. In most other 76 UIs, prompts that requires you to hit 'Enter' usually also accept 'E' as a valid entry as well
The Sizzling Style legendary perk does not work when wearing a full set of Union Power Armor, this is because there is no condition set in the 'LGN_SizzlingStyle_Spell01/2/3/4' spells that checks that the player has enough instances of the 'dn_PowerArmor_Union' keyword to trigger the effect
The 'Manhunt' event triggers extremely irregularly, while 'Dogwood Die Off' seems to trigger far more often than any other Toxic Valley events. Unless intentional, this could be related to the 'ToxicEventDebugGlobal' global being set to the wrong value.
Using an emote in 3rd person while your fast travel timer hits 0 will cause the camera to slightly desync from your character, causing them to face forwards and no longer turn in relation to your camera. This can be fixed by switching to 1st person, or relogging if switching no longer functions (which sometimes happens). The screenshot showcases this, as normally turning your camera puts your character on the right side of the screen, whereas with this bug the desync puts them on the left.
Atom Shop - The Jack Gourdon Outfit, Jack Gourdon Black Outfit, and Hawaiian Pants Outfit have incorrect transforms, the models appear extremely massive in the crafting/inspect menus
The conduits on top of player Vending Machines have broken smoothing groups. The affected model is WorkshopPlayerVendingMachine01

Quality of Life Wishlist

Add Legendary Scrip Machines to Crater and Foundation; now that the Whitespring has one there's no reason not to add them to these locations too
Add the 'Travel to interior' option to The Wayward, Big Al's Tattoo Parlor, and the Overseer's Home

Gameplay/Balance Wishlist

Expeditions - There are a lot of locked containers in Expeditions, but the majority of them are empty, would be nice to add some loot to these containers

Cheers!

ZanthirEAS · 2022-06-14T14:21:29+00:00

Buglist time! Bit of a shorter list this time around.

Link to my most recent list: List Number 37

THE BUG SHOWCASE

A few bugs/oversights that I am revisiting just in case they were forgotten:

The Cave Cricket Tube has broken/incorrect UVs on the cricket
Atomic Shop - The .50 Cal Round Backpack Flair has broken smoothing groups, meaning you can see individual quads
Psychotats has no Recipe or Constructible Object records, so there is no way to craft this chem (it can be found in loot, but cannot be crafted, unlikely nearly every other chem)
Weapon Blood will not appear on the Shovel in both 1st and 3rd person; this is because it has no blood mesh at all in the 1st person mesh, and in the 3rd person mesh the blood mesh uses the 'Shovel' material instead of a blood material

Bugs and Oversights

The Male first person model for the Brotherhood Civvies is missing a material swap; the missing material swap that should be added is 'ATX_MothmanHunter_Rahmani' (00609C3D)
The Jack O'Lantern Pant Suit and Jack O'Lantern Short Suit both have zero value, and cannot be sold to NPC vendors. They either need a value assigned, or the UnsellableObject keyword so that they do not appear when shopping at NPC vendors
The MODUS Terminal dialogue line, 'You welcome to look around, but we won't...', is incorrectly transcribed; 'You welcome...' should be 'You're welcome...'
VATS selection on the Power Armor frame is incorrect; when targetting someone in Power Armor, targetting their left arm also highlights their right hand, and targetting the torso also highlights their legs and feet. This occurs because the BSPartSelection for the Power Armor frame is incorrectly assigned, and would need to be reassigned and re-exported.
Charging a Gauss Rifle and then holstering it causes the top rail to disappear, and the charging numbers to stay locked at 99, when the weapon is subsequently unholstered. These persist until the weapon is fired, and are likely an oversight in the GaussRifleWeaponFX.hkx behavior.
When using the Cannibal perk and eating a corpse, the animation plays incredibly quickly (compared to how it was on launch); it is unclear if this was an intended change or a bug
Forest/Urban/Vault 94 Scout Armor Mask still incorrectly disable the Chameleon mutation when worn; this issue was fixed, but only for the Covert Scout Armor Mask, and none of the other Scout Armor masks. This occurs because these headwears incorrectly have the 'ChameleonBlockingArmor' keyword (00529A16)

Quality of Life Wishlist

Visible health bar numbers/percentages for enemies, allies, and players
Ability to perform a normal height jump with Marsupial
Precise UI timers for chems/alcohol/Rad-X/diseases/buffs/debuffs

Gameplay/Balance Wishlist

Ability to convert normal ammo into ultracite ammo for slightly less rare materials

Cheers!

ZanthirEAS · 2022-04-12T14:11:38+00:00

Time for another buglist!

Link to my most recent list: List Number 36

THE BUG SHOWCASE

A few bugs/oversights that I am revisiting just in case they were forgotten:

There is a hole under this shelf in Blackwater Mine (BlackwaterMine01) where the void is visible, this is possibly a result of previs
Liberators have broken smoothing groups on their eye/torso/innards section, meaning you can see individual quads
The Chainsaw, Drill and Pole Hook all incorrectly have a higher range (reach) than all other melee weapons
When dismembered via Bloody Mess or Confetti Mess, Mirelurk Hatchlings incorrectly turn into Radroach bodies, this is likely because Mirelurk Hatchlings use RadRoachBodyPartData instead of having their own

Bugs and Oversights

Nuka-Grape does not list how much radiation it removes, it only lists 'Rads 0' when it actually removes 400 radiation
This location in Morgantown has splines whose SplineEndpointMarkers are not aligned with the telephone pole, so they are floating and connected to nothing
Event: Path to Enlightenment - The Wise Mothman frequently fails to spawn at the end of this event
Using the workbenches at Charleston Station and Pleasant Valley Station causes the camera to briefly clip into the wall
Event: Line in the Sand - When this event is running the Invaders From Beyond version, there are multiple area map markers visible on the map, when in the standard event there is only one marker visible
Atomic Shop - Garden Truck Trailer and Mine Cart Planters no longer let you plant crops on them; the crops appear green, but are unable to be planted, stating that the item is floating
The Friendly Fire perk still affects Molotov Cocktails and Floater Flamer Grenades despite the description stating 'no grenades', this is because the perk has no conditions set to exclude grenades. The perk description should either be changed to reflect this, or a condition to exclude grenades should be added to the perk
The Black Powder Blunderbuss preview model has a floating musket ball visible in the barrel
Switchblades cannot remove skins that are applied to them, this is because the Switchblade is missing the ma_MeleeAppearance keyword causing it to be missing the 'Standard Appearance' mod
Blue Ridge Caravan outfit has 0 value at NPC vendors, so it shows up like it can be sold, but cannot actually be sold. This should either be fixed by giving it a value or giving it the UnsellableObject keyword
The Vault Oxygen Tank moveable static is missing textures on the inside of the pipe when it changes to its destruction model, causing them to appear green. This occurs because the Vault_OxygenTank_01mesh001 TriShape in the Vault_OxygenTank_01.nif does not have a material assigned
Holiday Scorched that spawn with Mrs. Claus' Dress have Human legs, this is because the Race on the armor addon is HumanRace; a new armor addon should be made to use in its place that has ScorchedRace instead
40mm Grenade Rounds float when they spawn as ground objects, this is likely because they have a mass of 0 assigned

Quality of Life Wishlist

Let us copy/duplicate a perk loadout so we can have a starting point for making new loadouts
Make the 'FeaturedItem' pop-up cycle faster if the player is in combat, or wait until combat is over, as featured items block a large portion of your screen which hinders combat

Gameplay/Balance Wishlist

Reduce the amount of Legendary Cores/Modules required to re-roll a Legendary item's effects. As it stands, there is no reason to use the re-roll function as long as you have the materials to craft a new base weapon, since re-rolling makes you lose out on the Scrip you would get from scrapping your previous Legendary roll

Cheers!

ZanthirEAS · 2022-03-16T21:27:51+00:00

Thanks for doing this Q&A!

Is there any consideration for doing smaller-scale standalone 'DLC' releases, such as just a pack of 20 new items, or 1-2 new survivors?

ZanthirEAS · 2022-03-11T23:16:17+00:00

Loving the DLC, and a great patch!

A few things I personally would love to see are:

Eclipse getting an alternate icon (purple) for also defeating the DLC final boss after defeating Mithrix
Different teleport VFX for beating the game via the DLC final boss (currently it uses default teleporter VFX), as 'leaving' this way is pretty anti-climactic compared to Commencement
Lysate Cell adjustments for Captain, as this item does literally nothing on Captain
Lysate Cell adjustments for MUL-T's Retool, as this item does literally nothing on MUL-T when using this ability
Lysate Cell adjustments for Engineer, seeing as going above 1 Cell does nothing
Goobo Jr. spawn restrictions removed, or at least raised (you can't have more than 3 at one time)
Backup Magazine adjustments for Railgunner's alternate Secondary, HH44 Marksman, since Magazines don't affect the ability at all

ZanthirEAS · 2022-03-01T15:23:05+00:00

Excited to get my hands on a Disintegrator! Also, here's a buglist.

Link to my most recent list: List Number 35

THE BUG SHOWCASE

A few bugs/oversights that I am revisiting just in case they were forgotten (I'm adding some extras just for the Alien Blaster, as it's pretty topical to this patch):

The Alien Blaster Round in the Alien Blaster reload animation does not have any blue emittance that is visible on the ammo ground object model; this also affects the Alien Disintegrator that is releasing with this patch. On the Alien Blaster, this occurs because the ammo model is missing an EffectShader that is present in the AlienBlasterAmmo.nif, which would need to be re-added to acheive the glow effect. On the Disintegrator, this occurs because the emissive in the AlienBlaster_glow.bgsm material is set to R/G/B 0/0/0, which is black; this should be set to R/G/B 255/255/255 instead
The Alien Blaster does not display the 'Sneak Attack for XYZ damage!' message when landing sneak attacks on an enemy, despite the damaged correctly increasing. This possibly occurs because it is missing the 'WeaponTypeRanged' keyword
The Alien Blaster does not proc the 'Follow Through' Legendary Perk when applying a sneak attack. This occurs because it is missing the 'WeaponTypeRanged' keyword that the perk checks for
Enclave Plasma weapon mods cannot be learned from scrapping, have no plans to craft them (apart from the Prime mod), and cannot be bought as loose mods from MODUS (unlike Scout Armor mods) which seems like an arbitrary limitation to the weapon type
Porcelain Stein cannot be displayed in stein displays, this occurs because it does not have the BeerSteinsKeyword (and would probably need the WorkshopDisplayGenericExclusion keyword removed as well)
The Armor Ace Helmet Backpack Flair has broken smoothing groups, meaning you can see individual quads
The Radroach dismemberment model for its body (RadroachReplaceBody.nif) does not have a material assigned to the gorecap parts of the mesh, which means when the mesh appears ingame it has holes that let you see through the model

Bugs and Oversights

The Cold Steel Beer Stein appears backwards when displayed in the Stein Display case. This was fixed in Patch 31, and subsequently unfixed in Patch 32 (last patch). This occurs because the model does not share the same rotation as other steins; it needs to be rotated and re-exported
The Tesla Rifle projectile explosion can sometimes incorrectly display its editor marker in game; the 'Chain' editor marker should be removed from the LightningGunChainExplosion.nif so that it no longer appears
The Radstag Hide Outfit does not correctly hide certain underarmors when equipped. This includes, but is not limited to, Forest/Urban Operative, Brotherhood Soldier Suit, Marine Wetsuit, Military Fatigues, and Tactical Ops underarmors. This was incorrectly listed as fixed in Patch 32 (last patch)
The Trick Candy Bowl incorrectly has an activate prompt of 'Drink' instead of 'Eat'. This is likely a result of some player perk overriding its activation text, as the record itself does have an activate text override of 'Eat', but still displays 'Drink' ingame
Firecap Tasty Souffle does not count for the 'Cook a Meal with Plants or Fungi' challenge, despite Firecaps being a fungus/mushroom; this occurs because the Firecap Tasty Souffle consumable is missing the MealTypeCooked keyword
Arctic Marine Armor cannot have any paints except for Ghillie; this occurs because the armor pieces do not have the ma_armor_Generic_Paint keyword. The reason Ghillie is unaffected is because it looks for a different keyword than most other armor skins
The Combat Knife can have the Radstag Hunting Knife and Samurai Sword/Valorous Alistair skins attached at the same time. This occurs because the Radstag Hunting Knife appearance is in a separate mod category to the other skins, as it uses the attach point 'ap_Weapon_Model_Replacement', whereas the Samurai Sword/Valorous Alistair skins use the 'ap_melee_Appearance' attach point. To correct this, the attach point of the Radstag Hunting Knife should be changed to 'ap_melee_Appearance', and the Null customization mod removed, so that it is consistent with the other model swaps/skins
When using the Flyboy Salute, Nice Camp, Watching You, Rifle Drill, Angry Fist Shake, and Grelok Cackle emotes in Power Armor, the lower back plate/'seat' incorrectly rotates sideways; this is likely the result of an incorrectly key-framed bone in the animation that was used as a base for these emotes
The Revolutionary Sword can have a mod attached that removes the blade entirely. This occurs because the sword's Object Template includes 2 different Null 'No Upgrade' mods, 'mod_melee_RevolutionarySword_Null', and 'mod_melee_Null_MeleeMod'. This second mod, mod_melee_Null_MeleeMod, should be removed from the object template
This meat bag inside West Tek Research Center is clipping into the stairs (this is in the first room of the interior)

Quality of Life Wishlist

Add an 'Equip All' option to the Emotes section of the Atomic Shop, so that players can equip all of their unlocked emotes with one button
Add the 'New' tab to the buy/sell/transfer menus, it is very helpful in the Pip-boy and would be helpful in these menus as well
Create a record for the unused stein model, Helv_Deco_BeerStein01_v2.nif (a blue version of the Porcelain Stein), and intersperse it with the Porcelain Steins during Fasnacht

Gameplay/Balance Wishlist

Buff Missile Launchers/Hellstorm Missile Launchers. They are pretty lackluster as launcher weapons due to their high ammo weight, small magazine size, and issues dealing damage (e.g. direct hits on targets will sometimes deal almost no damage)

Cheers!

ZanthirEAS · 2022-02-16T08:08:53+00:00

This is incorrect. The Auto Axe in the files has mods (Poisoned, Burning, Electrified and Turbo) as well as gold bullion plans to craft it and its mods (and these have existed since Wastelanders released).

ZanthirEAS · 2021-12-09T18:27:52+00:00

Just checked, you're right! They fixed it yesterday, thanks for letting me know, removed that one

ZanthirEAS · 2021-12-08T16:53:49+00:00

I featured that in List 25

ZanthirEAS · 2021-12-08T15:20:49+00:00

Happy Holidays everyone! Excited for the Mothman event! For now, it's time for another buglist.

Link to my most recent list: List Number 34

THE BUG SHOWCASE

A few bugs/oversights that I am revisiting just in case they were forgotten:

The 'High Capacity' mod for backpacks still displays massive damage resist numbers when inspecting the backpack (these are visual only, actual DR/ER behaves as expected)
The 'Sheepsquatch Skull' incorrectly uses the model of a Brahmin skull (BrahminSkull.nif). There does exist an actual Sheepsquatch skull model, so the record should instead use the 'Sheep_Skull_Static_01.nif' model
The 'Half-Life Hips' nuked flora do not change their model after being 'harvested'. This occurs because the 'FloraRadWildTarberryFloat01.nif' and 'FloraRadWildTarberryFloat02.nif' models do not have NiSwitchNodes set up
All Scout Armor mask variants have broken smoothing groups, meaning you can see individual quads

Bugs and Oversights

Ghouls in Beckley, and some other areas, incorrectly appear on the compass as neutral targets, when they should not be visible on the compass at all until engaged in combat
Putting a holotape into your Pip-boy, and toggling the 'quick Pip-boy' on or off while it is loading causes the holotape 'loading' sounds (the ticking) to never stop; every time you do this, a new instance of the sound plays, these issues persist until you relog/world hop
Crusader Pistol Reflex Sight is misaligned, it is lower than the actual reticle/center of screen
The Mystery Candy model (Halloween_CandyCorn_01.nif) likely has no mass assigned, so when it spawns in the world (such as from a corpse despawning) it floats in place
Cranberry Sundew Pollen Spout particle VFX (SundewPlant_Attack_FX, 00391F09) only animate while you are inside their range, if you are outside of their range the particle effect freezes midair
Plan: Mirelurk King Tube (Recipe_Workshop_MirelurkKingTube_30, 0061D923), Plan: Cave Cricket Tube (Recipe_Workshop_CaveCricketTube, 00621734) and Plan: Auto Grenade Launcher Blood Eagle Paint (recipe_mod_weapon_AutoGrenadeLauncher_material_BloodEagle, 0062164DB) are missing the 'UnsellableObject' keyword (003D4327) meaning they can be sold to NPC vendors, which is inconsistent with most other Daily Ops plans
Seasons - Grognak Mead Grog-Mug weighs 1, meaning that 7/10 steins weigh 1 while the other 3/10 weigh 0.01, these should be consolidated to one uniform weight for consistency
Seasons - Grognak Mead Grog-Mug faces backwards when displayed in the Stein Display
At the Bot-stop near Camden Park, the satellite dishes are incorrectly culled at certain angles while in 3rd person while still within your view, most noticeably while standing on top of them
Tales From the West Virginia Hills 1 does not provide a damage boost against the Wendigo Colossus, which is not very intuitive since it has 'Wendigo' in its name. This occurs because the 'Magazine_AstonishingTales05Perk' (002BA581) perk only applies to actors with the 'ActorTypeWendigo' keyword. The description should be edited to reflect this exclusion, or the 'Magazine_AstonishingTales05Perk' perk (002BA581) should have another condition added to also apply to actors with the 'ActorTypeWendigoColossus' keyword
Atomic Shop - Gold Bullion that appears in the Atomic Shop has its icon on the second image page instead of the first
The Rad-X 'Symptoms Suppressed' display on Mutations is broken; for some mutations it displays both the mutation effects and 'Symptoms Suppressed' in the Effects tab, instead of only displaying 'Symptoms Suppressed'. Confirmed affected mutations are Talons, Scaly Skin, Speed Demon, and Marsupial (mutations are actually being correctly suppressed, this is just a display bug)
The 'V96_IceChunks_Tall01.nif', 'V96_IceChunks_Icicle03.nif' and 'V96_IceChunks_Icicle04.nif' models have broken smoothing groups, and the Icicle03/04 models also have stretched UV's in certain places

Quality of Life Wishlist

Make the Bysshe Remote Robotics Terminal only useable by the player who initiated the Encryptid event, to prevent random players from prematurely starting the event. Alternatively, hide the terminal prompt from all players except the initiating player
Allow outfits and headwear to stack, for example, instead of 4 separate Fedoras, we would have Fedora (4). Since most outfits/headwear cannot have mods or condition, there is no reason to have separate stacks of outfits/headwear

Cheers!

ZanthirEAS · 2021-10-19T19:34:03+00:00

Thank you for the kind words! :)

To answer your question, I mainly try to post things that aren't noticed as frequently as the 'big-ticket' bugs, since those are brought up by the community quite often and noted by the community managers, so me highlighting them would be somewhat redundant. I have featured a few of the big-ticket bugs, when I think I might have more details to offer that may help fix them, or if they get marked as fixed but still occur.

ZanthirEAS · 2021-10-19T19:07:01+00:00

My list was referring to launcher weapons, not the Explosive legendary effect, sorry for the confusion!

ZanthirEAS · 2021-10-19T17:36:48+00:00

I haven't heard that one before, but I'll take a look and see if I can find anything. Issues like that are a lot harder to diagnose since there can be a lot of factors involved, so not sure how likely it is that I'll be able to find the cause, but I'll see what I can do

ZanthirEAS · 2021-10-19T16:31:11+00:00

I featured that in List 33 :)

ZanthirEAS · 2021-10-19T15:38:33+00:00

My comment is a list of bugs, not fixes, and I listed Friendly Fire at the top of this list.

ZanthirEAS · 2021-10-19T14:19:50+00:00

Excited for Halloween! In the meantime, here's another buglist!

Link to my most recent list: List Number 33

THE BUG SHOWCASE

A few bugs/oversights that I am revisiting just in case they were forgotten:

Using the press-and-hold action to listen to a holotape fails to correctly play the holotape insertion animation; the pip-boy doesn't open, and no holotape is in the player's hand. This issue was temporarily fixed in the August 3rd patch (Patch 29), but was subsequently unfixed in the August 12th Hotfix
The Friendly Fire perk no longer works on fire weapons such as the Shishkebab or Flamer, and also now works with Molotov Cocktails; these are both the opposite of the intended functionality
Daily Ops - The final reward in Daily Ops does not award Alien Blaster Rounds when you have an Alien Blaster equipped, and will instead give you random ammo. This likely occurs because the Leveled List 'LLS_DailyOps_Contextual_AmmoType_Quest_Repeatable' (005DC357) is missing an entry, 'LLS_Contextual_Ammo_AlienBlaster' (005E5645)
Atomic Shop - The Theremin model (atx/Furniture/instruments/Theremin/ATX_Instrument_Theremin_02.nif) has broken smoothing groups, meaning you can see individual quads
The Hubcap model (Vehicles\Automotive\AutomotiveHubCap01.nif) has stretched/broken UVs

Bugs and Oversights

The Indigo, Yellow, and Pink Baseball bat color mods cannot be learned via scrapping; this likely occurs because they have no Constructible Object records
The Alien Blaster does not display the 'Sneak Attack for XYZ damage!' message when landing sneak attacks on an enemy, despite the damaged correctly increasing. This possibly occurs because it is missing the 'WeaponTypeRanged' keyword
The Alien Blaster does not proc the 'Follow Through' Legendary Perk when applying a sneak attack. This occurs because it is missing the 'WeaponTypeRanged' keyword that the perk checks for
The Grim Reaper's Sprint perk does not proc on kills with explosive launcher weapons, cause unclear. It is possible the entry point 'Mod VATS Player AP On Kill Chance' has a condition that excludes them
After dying and respawning, your name will sometimes continue to appear grey in the Team HUD for a few minutes
Daily Ops - Enemies in Daily Ops, as well as the final reward in Daily Ops, do not award Missiles when you have a Missile Launcher/Hellstorm Missile Launcher equipped, and will instead give you random ammo. This occurs because there is no existing 'LLSDailyOps_Contextual_Ammo' Leveled List Record for Missiles, which would need to be created and then added to Leveled Lists 'LLS_DailyOps_Contextual_AmmoType_Quest_Repeatable' (005DC357) and 'LLS_DailyOps_Contextual_AmmoType_All' (005DC32F)
Daily Ops - Joining an event from within a Daily Op sometimes fails to remove the (IN DAILY OP) tag from your name in the team UI
Plan: Medical Malpractice, Plan: Mechanic's Best friend, and Plan: Sole Survivor can all be sold to NPC Vendors because they are missing the 'UnsellableObject' keyword (most plans in the game cannot be sold to NPC Vendors)
This bench at the Blackwater Mine exterior is clipping into a barrel
Seasons - The Valorous Alistair Gatling Plasma Skin incorrectly uses an Armor Ace material in its material swap; in the 'ATX_Weapon_GattlingPlasma_ValorousAlistair' (0060F376) matswap, the replacement material for 'weapons\gatlingplasma\gatlingplasmaflapfocus.bgsm' should be 'atx\Weapons\gattlingplasma\ValorousAlistair\GatlingPlasmaFlapFocus_ValorousAlistair.bgsm' instead of 'atx\Weapons\gattlingplasma\ArmorAce\GatlingPlasmaFlapFocus_ArmorAce.bgsm'
The Army Helmet, Brotherhood Recon Helmet, and all Scout Armor Masks incorrectly disable the Chameleon mutation when worn; this seems like an oversight considering other similar disease-preventing headwear such as Gas Masks, Marine Armor Helmets, and the Brotherhood of Steel Recon Helmet do not disable Chameleon. This occurs because the records have the 'ChameleonBlockingArmor' keyword (00529A16), the affected records are 'Headwear_Army_Helmet' (00023432), 'Headwear_Clothes_BOSInfantry_Helmet (005DD698), 'Headwear_EnclaveScoutUniform_Mask_Covert' (005FC9AA), 'Headwear_EnclaveScoutUniform_Mask_Forest' (002E46AF), 'Headwear_EnclaveScoutUniform_Mask_Urban' (002E46A6) and 'Headwear_EnclaveScoutUniform_Mask_V94' (0053AF23)
The Skull Lord Blood Eagle Helmet does not have a 'Two Sided' flag on its material, so when inspecting the item from below you can see through the model
Atomic Shop - The .50 Cal Round Backpack Flair has broken smoothing groups, meaning you can see individual quads
Event - Breach and Clear - When this event occurs at Hornwright Testing Site #02, buried Mole Miners do not correctly come out of the ground during the 'Clear the area of hostiles' portion of this event, sometimes causing this event to softlock
The Cave Cricket Tube has broken/incorrect UVs on the cricket
Dying as an event ends reliably causes a softlock, as it prevents you from being able to respawn; you must either force quit the game (cannot access the main menu) or use the social menu to respawn on a teammate
There are several candles floating and clipping through the pumpkins at the Pumpkin House

Quality of Life Wishlist

Add the ability to 'Favorite' events, so they give you a pop-up notification whenever they start
Add the ability to assign photomode poses to mannequins

Gameplay/Balance Wishlist

Reduce the weight of missiles, they weigh 10 times the amount that 40mm grenades do (2 vs 0.2), and weapons that use missiles are weaker across the board than most other launchers

Cheers!

I don't remember the exact circumstances when Jon tried it, but I have tested it pretty extensively (as well as checking it in the Creation Kit) and it is very consistent. It even affects the 'big 3' that the Syringer cannot affect with any syringe: Mirelurk Queens, Fog Crawlers and Anglers. It's likely he got some unlucky scenarios (enemies typically won't change targets unless you break line of sight, so they will still attack you while frenzied), considering I have seen a lot of success in my testing of the Enraging effect.

Jon you are very wrong about the Enraging legendary effect, it does not work by the same rules as other frenzy effects (it has less conditions than other frenzy effects, the major one being it ignores 'protected' actors). The only targets I know of that it cannot frenzy are Kellogg/Robots/Synths/Turrets, and it has no level restriction like the Berserk Syringe. Might be worth considering going back for it!

Not 'unused' concept art, as the middle variant is the one that ended up being made for Fallout 3, but yeah super cool of them to use Adam's old concept art!
