6. Using external applications

Using external applications

This section will be rewritten as the process is much different to when it was first written. In short, The wizard menu handles everything

Using the wizard menu

The wizard menu contains a list setup scripts that aim to automate the setup process of each application, Each will generally do the following.

• Download the application from a source location or provide a link to download
• For any that provide a link, you just need to manually download the file. The wizard will detect it from the downloads folder and extract it
• Applications are extracted and stored in the applications folder of the games staging folder
• Setup a prefix for the application with the choice of using a shared or dedicated prefix.
• Install any windows dependencies the application requires as well as make tweaks within the prefix to make the application work
• Deploy the modlist if the application requires it
• Run the application using the prefix

Pandora + BodySlide and Outfit Studio

• Install Pandora behaviour engine /BodySlide and Outfit Studio as a mod
• This will make the wizard tool show up in the wizard menu
• Use the wizard tool, Remove any previous pandora output if you need to
• Bodyslide and outfit studio will prompt for an output mod name, If you want to keep each run separate

PgPatcher

• Run the PgPatcher (Remove any previous pgpatcher output if rerunning)
• There is an option to use mo2 mode, This is not needed if the load order in the modlist is already correct. It's mainly there as an option for people who are more familiar with it
• When PgPatcher finishes, the wizard will close and the modlist will refresh, Enable the PgPatcher_output mod to use it

Tale of Two Wastelands Installer

Fallout New Vegas contains a wizard that can install the TTW mod directly into the modlist

• Make sure you have FONV and FO3 installed as well as all their DLC
• Run the Tale of Two Wastelands wizard
• This will download the TTW Linux native rust installer
• The FONV and FO3 paths should be auto selected
• You need to download the .mpi package manually from the link provided in the wizard, It requires an account to download
• Extract the downloaded zip anywhere
• Press Choose .mpi and select the file within the extracted archive
• Press continue and wait for TTW to build and install

Once complete there is a few mods that need to be installed, The Tale of Two Wasteland mod will show a missing requirements flag in the flags column. Click the flag to see which mods you need. Clicking the flag again will recheck any missing ones.

The TTW installer will also set the profile to use profile specific ini files, It will copy your ini files from the prefix as well as create a falloutcustom.ini with the required settings needed for TTW
