F.E.V.E. (Forced Evolutionary Virus Enhanced)

[6DeathKnelle9]

Hello,

 

I want to start working on making a mod that adds a few "weapons" to the game along with a quest to get it, unfortunately I do not have any modding experience and so I'm reaching out to find out what skills I need to acquire, the applications and tools I need to create it, as well as any advice and tutorials that can assist with my work. The Mod will be called F.E.V.E. (Forced Evolutionary Virus Enhanced), the idea is that someone in the Commonwealth has actually perfected the F.E.V. and dubbed it F.E.V.E. as it is a working product. The weapons will appear as your hand engulfed in an energy or element be it fire, frost, radioactive energy, etc. The quest would be you finding the guy that perfected the virus and assisting him with his final experiment, testing it. The player would be sent through a few trials and at the end get to keep the weapons he is testing. The ammunition would be new and added on the drop list, it would be called A.T.O.M. (Advanced Technical Ordnance Munition) and reload your weapon using the same animation as using a stimpack but with the stimpack being a different colour to suite the A.T.O.M. ammo. The Weapons will be the following:

 

Breathe of Fire- Fire spews forth from your hands and engulfs your target in searing flames. It will deal damage over time as well as ignite the target on fire for a duration, essentially a flamethrower.

 

Freezing Winds- A blizzard bursts forth from your fingertips and freezes your opponents. It will work the same as the cryo weapon in the game.

 

Radioactive Force- Balls of radioactive energy form and shoot out from your hand. It will function like a radioactive explosive projectile.

 

Possibly others if I can think of anything else.

 

So far I have nothing else planned for this but if I get good enough to utilize the tools and advice you point me towards I hope to expand upon it and make it a good mod. Essentially what I need is tools and knowledge relative to custom animation creation, custom model creation, as well as creating quests and npcs, and finally creating special effects. Also, I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this thread I wasn't sure where to put it, but since its not a request for a mod as I'm wanting to make it myself and since this forum is for the creation kit and modders it seemed more fitting than the mod request forum.
