Identifying odd HUD item? : Fallout: New Vegas

» Wed Jun 15, 2011 1:13 pm

All of a sudden, http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/5697/falloutnv20110614195728.jpg lock symbol appears on my HUD, randomly and at odd intervals, it shows for a second or so each time. it doesn't seem related to anything.

Has anyone seen this before??

Part of the latest Project Nevada update. It should only appear when you use an explosive near a locked object. That tells you whether or not you broke the lock or not.

I'd assume you are using uHUD, so try re-installing that and see if it works out.

There were no explosives used when it showed, does it show when using a weapon with an explosion impact like the gauss-rifle?

I'm using DarnID not uHUD.

It shouldn't I believe. The icon shouldn't even appear if an explosive doesn't go off near a locked object neither and it looks like you aren't near one in that picture. I don't think that enemies can blow up locks with their explosives.

Hm, maybe http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=38961 is an option. Up to you though. It doesn't actually add anything. It just fixes up your .xml so that any mods that you do have installed that add things to the HUD will play nice with each other. It may also fix errors, but I can't be sure as I haven't run into your issue myself.

It does, an Incinerator for example makes it show up. Also, if you quickload while the icon is showing, it gets stuck.

I stand corrected then.

Is it possible to "dislodge' the icon getting stuck after a quickload by trying to blow open another lock?

I might try uHUD, though I don't really use extra HUD features (I like keeping my HUD clean).

The bullet time and stealth field icons initially had the same issue, with those atleast activating and deactivating them made ithem disappear, so if it works the same way it should disappear after a new attempt.
