Introduction
Project Nevada is a mod aiming to make Fallout: New Vegas a more interesting - eventually more challenging - but surely more fun experience for you.
Created by the team responsible for the Fallout 3 Wanderers Edition (FWE), we're leaving the barren DC wasteland behind and move on west to new, exciting regions.
Project Nevada is not an overhaul, instead it's organized as a set of themed modules.
Each module can address different aspects of the game and target different audiences, but they are also designed to work in conjunction.
Our vision is to allow players picking the modules they want and using them together with any mod they like, instead of forcing them to make the all-or-nothing choice.
See the next sections for detailed descriptions and features of all current modules.
Further general objectives and design concepts are:
* Easy installation and setup; no load order or complicated dependencies.
* Great customization through different modules and an ingame menu
* Rather keep things straight forward and enjoyable than overly complicated and tedious.
* Avoid changes that could conflict with other mods unless they are absolutely necessary.
* Blend features in as good as possible - players shouldn't feel reminded that they're using a mod.
Module Overview
<Core>
Module Version: 2.0
The Core module is the foundation of Project Nevada, and as such required by all other modules.
It adds the gameplay features found in popular first-person-shooter games that were missing in New Vegas.
Some of those features are improved versions of already well-known Fallout 3 mods, like the Grenade Hotkey, Bullet Time or Sprint.
All of them are rewritten from the ground up, with exciting new features like the support for several VATS perks in Bullet Time and support for throwing weapons with the grenade hotkey.
Others are brand new, like the Dynamic Crosshair that changes it size according to the current weapon spread.
Each of those features can be individually enabled or disabled in-game. They are fully script-based to play along well with other mods.
To allow customization, the Core module implements a Control Panel, which can be accessed directly from the pause menu.
Other mods may extend the Control Panel without conflict and make use of the provided methods for streamlined hotkey assignment.
Since the Core module avoids conflicting changes, players are free run it alongside any other mods, including their favorite overhaul.
Details:
* Dynamic Crosshair
This feature causes the crosshair to expand and contract dynamically based on the player's current gun spread.
* Bullet Time
A classic feature that doesn't need much introduction - press a hotkey to slow down time, at the cost of Action Points.
* Sprint
Yet another classic - as the name suggests, Sprint allows you to increase your speed until your action points are used up.
When bouncing into an opponent you may knock him down if your Strength is overpowering his.
* Grenade Hotkey ENHANCED
Press a hotkey to quickly equip and prepare an explosive, then release to throw it. Another hotkey is used to cycle throw the
different throwables in the players inventory. Besides grenades and thrown weapons, mines and placed explosives are now supported as well.
Any unknown explosives are automatically supported once they have been equipped.
* Variable Zoom for scoped weapons
All scoped weapons get multiple zooming steps. This automatically works for mod-added weapons as well.
The number and magnification of those additional zooming steps is based on range of the weapon, so it will not turn a pistol into a sniper rifle.
Selected weapons have a digital zoom (Gauss, Scoped Laser Rifle).
* Slower Backpedaling
When moving backwards, the player's speed is reduced based on his/her agility.
* First-person Visor Overlays for helmets
Helmets and other headgear now get immersive first-person overlays and vision effects.
Based on the item condition, cracks and scratches will show up on the visor as well.
* Immersive Health Visuals
With decreasing health, the player's vision gets weak and blurry, creating an immersive feedback mechanism for you current health.
* Enhanced Stealth Field
The stealth field of armors or Stealth Boys can now be toggled on and off by hotkey.
To keep things balanced, the field can only stay stable for a short while. The current stability is displayed in the HUD.
* Enhanced Vision Modes
Power Armor helmets and other high-tech gear now enable enhanced vision modes like Night Vision, Heat Vision and EM Vision.
If there's no Power Armor equipped as a power source, energy cells are required while these modes are active.
* Explosive Entry NEW
This feature makes it possible to burst open locked containers and doors with explosives.
It uses no special interface, just detonate something close enough to a lock and you may break it.
* Immersive Primary Needs NEW
As hunger, thirst or sleep depriviation increase, the player is notified by periodic sound effects.
These effects kick in shortly before the first penalties occur, so the player is given a chance to eat, drink or sleep in time.
* Control Panel
The control panel is accessible directly from the pause menu. Every Project Nevada Core feature can be enabled/disabled at runtime.
History:
2.0:
* Enhanced vision modes and Stealth field are no longer tied to Cyberware and can be enabled and disabled in the control panel

* Added sound effects for primary needs
* Sprint: Added freely configurable hotkey (no longer restricted to walk/run)

* Enhanced Vision: Added vision modes for Reinforced Combat armor (and Mk2 variant)
* Bullet Time: Added perk descriptions
* Scanner: Tweaked threat estimation (Deathclaws are no longer a low threat...)
* Visor Overlays: Changed underlying system to enhance extendability and simplify addition of custom overlay textures
<Cyberware>
Module Version: 2.0
Even though humanity nuked itself back into the Stone Age, you don't have to fight with sticks and stones.
Some of man's most advanced technological creations have been preserved - and the Cyberware module gives you the chance to obtain them!
Practically this means new features are associated with cybernetic implants and high-tech equipment.
Examples include enhanced vision modes for power armor helmets and bionic legs allowing you to charge towards your enemies with super-human speed.
While for equipment existing items are used, the cybernetic implants come with a custom interface to attach and manage them.
Unique implants that grant powerful abilities are placed all over the wasteland in rewarding locations.
Other, less powerful implants can be obtained from selected vendors, though with the proper Science skill those can be upgraded up to 3 times.
The whole system is balanced by several mechanisms, like limiting the number of implants that can be attached at the same time, or requiring energy supply for special equipment.

<Equipment>
Module Version: 1.0
The Equipment module brings new weapons and armor to the Mojave Wasteland.

Installation
We really recommend using the Fallout Mod Manager to install Project Nevada!
It will automatically copy the right files and take care of any conflicts with already installed mods.
So before you can get started, you have to choose whether you want to do the FOMM installation (recommended) or a manual installation.
Remember: The Core module is required in any case! If you don't like a specific feature, you can disable it in-game.
Automated Installation with FOMM
1. Start FOMM and click on Package Manager.
2. In the top-right button menu, click on Add FOMod and select the downloaded archive file.
3. Project Nevada will now appear in the list. Select it and click Activate.
4. In the installer window, select the modules you want, then click Install. If you are prompted to overwrite anything, click Yes to All.
5. Done!
OR
Manual Installation
1. Locate the Data/ folder in your Fallout New Vegas installation directory. Typically it's found at Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/common/fallout new vegas/Data/.
2. Extract the contents of the downloaded archive file to your Data/ folder.
In case you are using any mod that modifies the interface:
3. Locate the Data/optional/ folder. In there, copy the contents of following directory your Data/ folder, depending on which interface mod you are using:
* Darn UI, if you're using DarNified UI.
* MTUI, if you're using MTUI.
* Remember, if you're using the default interface you can just skip this step.
4. In the New Vegas Launcher, click on Data Files and select the plugins you want.
5. Done!
Troubleshooting
*Problem: My game crashes right after starting it!
Yes, that's pretty annoying! There are basically two things that can cause this:
1. A missing master file (some plugins depend on other plugins, and if they can't find them the game crashes)
If related to Project Nevada, this happens if you didn't install the Core plugin (which is required by all other modules).
Fix it, by installing the Core module as well.
2. A missing interface file.
This one is a little trickier. If an interface file is used somewhere that does not exist anymore, the game crashes.
To fix it, delete the menus/ folder in your Data/ directory, then reinstall any interface-related mods (for example MTUI, DarnUI, but also Project Nevada since it uses those interface files as well).
*Problem: After I load a savegame, a message box tells me that Project Nevada wasn't properly installed.
There are multiple things that could cause this:
1. Project Nevada wasn't properly installed If you did a manual install and forgot to follow step 3 in the guide above, this is what happens. To fix it, install Project Nevada properly as described in Section 3.
2. Archive Invalidation is not activated. The recommended way of activating it is using FOMM, and enabling it in the Tools menu.
3. You installed Project Nevada with an older version of FOMM. In this case it may happen that even though FOMM confirms a successful installation, some important changes were not made.
So if your FOMM version is older than 0.13.21, upgrade it and re-install Project Nevada.
4. If this problem suddenly occurs when you were already running Project Nevada successfully, this means some other mod overwrote an interface file.
With FOMM, this should be fixed by simply deactivating Project and then activating it again. When using multiple mods that add new elements to the HUD, we recommend the http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=38961 to resolve any potential problems.
If you don't use FOMM, then this is where things will get complicated. First you have to find out which other mod causes the conflicts, then with that specific information you can ask for help in the Nexus comments or in this thread.
*Problem: After I installed Project Nevada, my game is lagging/stuttering more than usual.
Even though we tried to optimize our scripts as good as possible, they can still cause considerable strain especially if your computer barely meets the minimum system requirements for Fallout: New Vegas.
You should try out the http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34832, in most cases it will will significantly increase performance.
If that doesn't help, try deactivating some of the features, for example the crosshair recoil or visor overlays.
*Problem: Since I installed Project Nevada, my game is very unstable and crashes all the time!
Personally, I've been playing with Project Nevada for over 20 hours without a single crash. Same goes for our other testers.
So currently the mod is not known to cause any instabilities. The problem is most likely somewhere else.
*Problem: After I installed Project Nevada MANUALLY, another interface-related mod is no longer working.
Unfortunately, when doing a MANUAL installation this can't be avoided. Either the last installed UI mod automatically overwrites files of all previous ones, or installation will become very complex for the user.
We chose the former. If you can't fix the problem yourself by editing the XML files, the solution is simple - just use the FOMM installer, it should automatically resolve any conflicts.
If your problem wasn't covered here, describe your issues in the thread. Surely someone will be able to provide assistance.

Project Nevada equivalent for Fallout 3? I'm looking to do a replay of fallout 3 but looking back, the mechanics are just very dated and I was looking to see if anyone knows if there's a mod equivalent of the nevada project for fallout 3 that allows sprinting and better gunplay and etc that feels more in touch with modern shooters.
