Known Issues

===================================================

- The green energy chambers of the Q-35 Matter Modulator do not always show their electrical effect.

- Ash Piles and Goo Piles might [infrequently] fall through ground level; vanilla game engine issue.

- Ash Piles and Goo Piles might [infrequently] become embedded in other things in densely crowded areas; a result of minimizing "fall through".

Installing/Updating/Installing - Mod Conflicts

================================================================

IMPORTANT! Novac dissapearing is a bug in the vanilla game! Don't blame EVE (or any OTHER mod either foo' ).

*** NVSE is -NOT- needed! EVE will work 10000% fine even without it!

***EVE does -NOT- add energy weapon FX to bullet guns, don't blame this mod, it wasn't built by a teen***

***If your Laser Pistol is not iron-sights, this is because another mod LOWER than EVE in your load order does not have laser weapons set to 'Iron Sights'. Simple fix = move EVE to be the absolute 100% dead-last in your load order***

Installation Summary:

There are two (2) EVE installers: EVE v1.19, and EVE v1.19 Alternate.

Use EVE v1.19 for Nexus Mod manager (NMM), Fallout Mod Manager (FOMM), or Vortex. This is an "automatic file selection" installer. It will tell you which EVE option (All DLC, No GRA, No DLC) it will install, and it also identifies the DLCs that are present to make that the valid choice. Use the Alternate installer described below if you have problems using this one.

Use EVE v1.19 - Alternate for Mod Organizer (MO and MO2). You must select one of the three options (All 5 DLCs, 4 DLCs but not GRA, No DLCs or no match) yourself. Each of the choices lists the DLCs that must be present for that choice to be correct. This installer also works with Nexus Mod manager (NMM), Fallout Mod Manager (FOMM), and Vortex. Use this installer if you have problems using the main installer above.

Here is a list of the DLC requirements for each of the EVE variants:

• "All DLC" requires all five of the DLCs installed: Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, Lonesome Road, and Gun Runners Arsenal. The installed EVE file is EVE FNV - ALL DLC.esp.

• "No GRA" requires Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, and Lonesome Road; but not Gun Runners Arsenal. The installed EVE file is EVE FNV - NO GRA.esp.

• "No DLC" is for no DLCs present, or the DLCs do not exactly match either of the ones above. The installed EVE file is EVE FNV - NO DLC.esp.

Ensure that the installed .esp file is properly enabled / activated.

When using Mod Organizer (MO or MO2):

If you use Mod Organizer (MO or MO2) to install EVE, you choose one of these three options: All 5 DLCs, 4 DLCs but not GRA, No DLCs or no match. The correct choice will depend on which DLCs (if any) are present. Be sure to install the Alternate version of EVE; click the Download Manually button to download it, then have MO/MO2 execute that installer. Here is a list of the DLC requirements for each choice:

• Select All 5 DLCs if you have all five of the DLCs installed: Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, Lonesome Road, and Gun Runners Arsenal. The resulting .esp file will be EVE FNV - ALL DLC.esp.

• Select 4 DLCs, but not GRA if you do not have Gun Runners Arsenal, but do have these DLCs installed: Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, and Lonesome Road. The resulting .esp file will be EVE FNV - NO GRA.esp.

• Select No DLCs or no match if you have none of the DLCs or if your installed DLCs do not exactly match either of the two selections above. The resulting .esp file will be EVE FNV - NO DLC.esp.

Manual Installation:

Click the Download Manually" button to download the mod, then follow these steps:

- unpack the file; it may be in either .zip, .7z, or .rar format.

- open the resulting EVE folder.

- if present, copy the Meshes, Sound, and Textures folders into your game's DATA folder. Allow overwriting of files.

- select the correct EVE .esp and copy it into your DATA folder allowing overwrites. Choose only *one*. Using the wrong one can result in a crash at startup. Here is a list of the DLC requirements for each of the EVE variants:

• Use EVE FNV - ALL DLC.esp if you have all five of the DLCs installed: Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, Lonesome Road, and Gun Runners Arsenal.

• Use EVE FNV - NO GRA.esp if you do not have Gun Runners Arsenal, but do have these DLCs installed: Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, and Lonesome Road.

• Use EVE FNV - NO DLC.esp if you have none of the DLCs or if your installed DLCs do not exactly match either of the two selections above.

- enable the .esp file: Launch the game, at the main menu click DATA FILES, examine the list of Check Boxes and click the items that do not contain a checkmark to enable/activate them, then click the OK button.

WARNING: Note that a correct manual install of a mod can be difficult and tricky, depending on its complexity and variety of files that need to be properly placed in the game's folders. So, in general, it is best to use a "mod manager" for installing mods into games (especially by players who are new to adding mods).

Load Order

================================================================

--> FalloutNV.esm

--> the DLCs if you have any

--> your other mods and patches

--> EVE FNV - ALL DLC.esp (or one of the other EVE .esp files)

--> add-ons and patches for EVE

If you experience <!> error indicators, then you have one or more faulty installs. For other anomalies or strange things, you may be having a mod "conflict". Learn how to make a bashed patch, or try positioning EVE last (or near last) in your "load order" sequence.

Aiming Styles

================================================================

If you want to be able to aim by looking along the top of energy weapons ("iron sights" style), (1) do *not* install the "EVE True Iron Sights Disabled" patch, then (2) start the game, select Settings at the main menu, select Gameplay, set True Iron Sights to be ON.

If you want to aim with energy weapons held to the side instead of looking along the top of them, (1) install the "EVE True Iron Sights Disabled" patch, then (2) start the game, select Settings at the main menu, select Gameplay, set True Iron Sights to be OFF.
