Okay, I think I'm good for now with my update to Bostek's APC Home on the Move mod for Fallout 4. You can now grab v1.03 of the patch in the #apc-home-update channel on the GreslinGames Discord.
This version of the patch includes a handful of relatively minor bug fixes, as well as some script improvemen...
2023-01-03 03:46:17 +0000 UTC View PostI have always loved the design and look of Bostek's 2017 mobile home mod for Fallout 4, APC Home on the Move. They obviously put hours and hours of care and craftsmanship into every visual detail, and it really shows, in so many ways.
I mean, just look at this thing:
It's a damn work of art.
Weather Report 1.04 has been released and is now available on the GreslinGames Discord in the #weather-report channel.
This update adds a new alternate time-based reporting mode that can be turned on in MCM, plus some new internal compatibility support stuff.
The default mode is still the 1.03 system: it tells you what weather it expects, and when you transition be...
2023-01-01 03:53:08 +0000 UTC View PostPANPC 2.0.10.1 has been released and is now available to Citizen role users on the GreslinGames Discord.
Bug fix release. I accidentally left some dev garbage in the NPC records for the higher level Zetas, which will become obvious when they inevitably spawn. This fixes that.
I also added the ability to use standard keyword AI assignment on race re...

Weather Report 1.03 has been released and is now available on the GreslinGames Discord in the #weather-report channel.
Weather Report is a little Fallout 4 mod that simulates consistent weather conditions across interior and exterior spaces, by creating "forecasts" that persist when you transition across cells. If you check the forecaster indoors, WR will "report" on the...
2022-12-19 18:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostAs the months go by, I'm increasingly asked about what my plans are, going into the release of Bethesda's upcoming space opera game Starfield.
First, thanks to everyone who has donated here and on GreslinGames, I expect to have everything necessary to comfortably run Starfield and to get into that modding scene on the ground floor. Thank you all so much: as I've said many times here, every cent donated goes right back into building GreslinGames. This would have been a lot tougher ...
2022-12-17 21:26:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey, all. So we're getting close to the end of 2022, and I know that I've been fairly quiet over the last half year. I promise, I'm still alive and doing stuff, and I'm looking forward to doing more stuff in 2023. I've just been quiet.
I'm working on a new PANPC release, and I'd like to get 2.0.10 done and out by Christmas. We'll see. After that, I'll get back on PACE with a new release.
I've also been trying to consolidate a number of GG-related resources to make it easier for pe...

2022-10-21 16:35:35 +0000 UTC View PostJust wanted to let y'all know that I'm still alive. 2022 continues to be one of those up-and-down years, and lately I've been busy with non-modding-related projects, but things are continuing to happen on GreslinGames.
Next significant mod release will probably be a new version of PACE. I'm testing basic support for the Automatron build-a-companion, and sometime soon I plan to resume wargaming on the PACE AI...
So lately there have been some conversations over on the Discord about the kind of criticisms that people get when they put their creative work out into the world. Anyone who has ever put themselves out there has faced it. You either figure out a way to deal with it or you get out of the public eye business.
I think I went through all the same stages that everyone does. First you're kind of shocked to be getting any feedback at all - that someone, somewhere, actually cares enough about ...

2022-08-14 22:58:05 +0000 UTC View PostSigh. I know things have been quiet here since May, and for that I apologize. Sometimes the most sedate, civilized, well intentioned plans get hopelessly derailed by the howling hyenas of real life, as the monsters smash into your house late at night, steal your car, set wildfires in the neighborhood, and go on mad police chases. You know how it can get sometimes.
The Greslins had a rough summer. I'm not going to say that things are better now, exactly, but circumstances are fi...

2022-06-11 18:52:50 +0000 UTC View PostNew version of PANPC uploaded and now available on the GreslinGames Discord.
From almost the start, I've been asked about when I planned to start implementing bot AI in PANPC. Truth is, I never really planned to do it, because most of them are fairly slow and dumb and the vanilla AI for those bots are just fine as it is.
One major exception to that are Sentry Bots. These guys aren't slow, and they ...

Since I first released PANPC in early 2018, people have been asking me when I planned to add bot AI support. It has never really been a priority (and very likely will remain so for bots like Protectrons and Eyebots), but in the next release PANPC will now support Sentry Bots!
Look for 2.0.8 in the next day or so. In the meantime, here's some test footage of the new Sentry Bot combat AI.

On this week's Mod Treasures, we take a look at three more mods that haven't gotten nearly the attention or respect they deserve. One juggles the Fallout 4 game mechanics a bit to make it easier to role play as a super mutant. Another finally gives us something useful to do with all those piles of garbage. And finally, there are balloons.
Do you have any Fallout 4 mods that you'd like me to review on Mod Treasures? The only requirements are that the mod works (and doesn...

2022-05-21 18:07:44 +0000 UTC View PostSo I'm happy to announce that I finally got the long awaited 1.5 update to PACE (Pack Attack Companion Edition) done and out. I'll do a full video in a few days, but in the meantime this is the official changelog for this version:

[NEW] Combat chat control, optional module
[NEW] Customs can now be keyword-assigned a vanilla AI profile

This has been one of the most requested features in PACE: individual combat personalities for each of the vanilla companions. I'm hoping to get this out this week.
Starting in the upcoming PACE 1.5, each vanilla companion has a specific skill rating for each of the major weapon classes (rifles, pistols, shotguns, melee, etc.), which alters the companion's aim with that class and their willingness to maneuver aggressively while using it. This video gives a quick rundown on the changes, w...

This time around on Mod Treasures, we take a look at a mod that lets you dig into the Arthur Dent lifestyle a bit, another one that converts all the Pulowski shelters into something more useful, and the laser distance gauge that every wasteland engineer needs. And then we spawn up the Little Red Wagon and take it for a spin.

So in the last episode, we improved our situation somewhat but still have some serious problems, namely high radiation levels, a raging infection, and living in a world surrounded by things ready and willing to kill us. But we're finally starting to inch forward.
In this episode, I finish some searching around Sanctuary, uncover the FROST mysteries of Vault 111, and do some field recon of the surrounding woods, while securing the new base of operations and deciding where to go from here...

2022-05-05 03:02:23 +0000 UTC View PostLife in the Commonwealth is tough enough. But sometimes you just want to know if the weather outside is dangerous without actually going out into it.
You know how it is. You'll be hanging out in your bunker, you just got a decent night's sleep, and you have no idea if there's a radstorm going on outside. Your only choice usually is to just go out and hope for the best, which may not be the best option if you're badly hurt and already looking a little ghoulish around the ears.
Here's the truth about mod development: often, really good small mods take at least as much time to get right as the big, popular ones. And they tend to languish in a system designed to make well known mods (and modders) even more well known.
Before PANPC suddenly drew attention my way in 2018, I was one of those mod authors working in the low interest margins, rarely picking up more than a few dozen endorsements for my odd little experiments. So I have a heart for the underdogs, ...
