Has anyone found any resources like models or textures that modders may use in the future? Does anyone know any good websites to suggest that would aid in the creation of steampunk in Fallout?

Hmm, Write a story for him and things like that to get people more interested. Like after the events at Zeta, he asks the others to drop him off in "The West" as he knows it, since at the moment IDK if Vegas was around at the same time as Paulson. So, after however long the time between Fallout 3 and New Vegas, he finds himself in the New Vegas area, so he'd be in a place like Novac, Goodsprings or somewhere. You could write in some funny stories about him since he'd hadn't seen Earth for over 200 years or more, so things like "When I first got back down, I remember the first thing I saw was a Huge metal bear just layin' in the dirt nearby, I 'm not one to be startled usually but I weren't ready for that, I drew my revolver and unloaded my 6 into the damned thing.....Next thing I knew the damn bear exploded in a huge cloud and blew my scrittery ass 20 feet and burned off some of my clothes!" (The event is him landing, and attacking a car with an engine that exploded near him, it explains his change in apparel as well.) Just write lots of lines like that and get it voiced by a user in the Voice actors thread and he'll be a popular companion within the month of this post, if you work on it.

Recently a friend on the forum posted that he's made a bit of a boxing ring for Fallout New Vegas, but doesn't currently have the time to finish it, the post is here in the requests forum, I've already reposted his request onto my "Modders Resource Thread" since hes a stable contributer, so likely one of the other modelers from that thread will take up the ring and finish it. I'll update when I know more. In the meantime, I'd suggest people post things like Where should the boxing ring be? What type of weapons should be included in the ring? (Bare fists, brass knuckles, taped fists, boxing gloves, power fists?) What humorous things should happen? (Refer to Fallout 2 boxing ring jokes, like your player gets his ear bitten off by Mike Tyson 'sorta') Rewards for fights? Caps, weapons, ammo, women, etc. Special Fights? Cheating possiblites, and Rigged fights Watching others fight Forcing a companion to fight? etc. Just throwing out ideas so that when the resources to make a boxing mod are ready then we will have a good pool of ideas to make it with.

I liked your ideas SoggyWaffle, but I've padded them up a bit, hopefully this way they sound more exciting, I tried to keep it in your words as much as possible. Assassin - An evil alternative to the Bounty Hunter class, the player recieves contracts to stealthily kill targets with as little conflict as possible. Targets should be rich important people that can be killed when there are alone in a hotel room or home. The killing could be close range with silenced weapons or melee or even sniping from a building from across the street or long enough distances. These contracts could work sort of like Oblivion's Dark Brotherhood, with promotions, unique equipment and other rewards. Battlefield Medic - You help injured soldiers on the battlefield. This would obviously require medical skill and possibly survival since battlefield medicene isn't tip-top, you'd also have to be a defent combatant to accept the job. Could be a medic for a militia, NCR, The Legion, etc., You could participate in both skimishes and large battles for various factions.

I just checked that microphone and judging from user reviews and the tech specs I'm recommending it as well. Here is the microphone I looked up on, it's currently $47 on Amazon (American dollars for international readers, so for europeans its cheaper since your currency is worth more =] ....) Sennheiser PC 151 Binaural Headset with Noise-Canceling Microphone

People love business mods, if you can combine that with a versitiaty like RTS when it comes to decorating then it'll be a top 10 mod. I'd suggest working on customizable themes and custom content, you also have access to the voice actors thread and plenty of experienced modders willing to help likely. Perhaps you could have characters or iconic items from various quests show up after your player completes them. Non-voice roles, mainly just re-use general respones for characters, and by items I mean like maybe the sign from Helios shows up on a wall in the 38 after you finish it, or some Khan dealers if you happen to be in good reputation with them, etc.. Best of luck, let me know if you need resources or ideas for more content!

For Vault based Quest Ideas Try looking on the "What would your Vaults Experiment Be?" thread. Thats where the New Fallout Vault Quest ideas post came from, I've also gone back and updated some of the previous entries and will soon update this thread again. Note try not to post on this thread, instead post on its counterpart in Mod Requests, this thread is for organization and as a back-up for the original in case of any issues like going off topic too long or it simply gets too cluttered or messy. http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/8917/vaulttecquickmake.png

http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/8917/vaulttecquickmake.png While discussing all the Vault scenarios people thought up....I decided to repost them here since they could make the basis of future quest mods possibly! --------------------Fallout Players New Vault Experiments-------------------- I went back and added on to peoples ideas and thought I'd let you see them ----- The water purifier leads directly to the vault walkways submerging the vault waist deep in water at all times, perhaps pre-war scientists assume the occurance of shallow seas with the new climate of the planet? ----- Every 12-15 hours various non-essential vault systems are turned off for hours, such systems could include plumbing, food dispensers, lights, etc. forcing dwellers to become highly adaptive to a rapid change enviroment setting ----- The food extruders are all at the end of a fitness course, thus dwellers are forced to become physically optimized over time. ----- A Vault where half of the population is secretly given the ability to spy on the other half at all times through secret cameras and montiors installed in thier pip-boys, this could be as a study of social interactions and honesty as well as temptation of those doing the spying. I really like the second idea, The Vault's expermint was to see if those with mental disorders could survive if forced with no alternative then to care for themselves, as well as see if those too unstable for pre-war society could adapt better to a post-war enviroment. A Vault-Tec experiment where the only people allowed to enter were those found to be mentally ill. Ranging from those with simple diseases like delusions and advanced phobias like OCD, to those of more violent mental states like paranoid schizo's and split personalities of violent natures. The people would enter before the bombs dropped, and the Vault would've acted as a sanitarium until the bombs were dropped and the door automatically sealed. Trapping the limited sane staff with the horde of the mentally diseased. Eventually those with sanity are weeded out, either by the violence of patients, or simple aging. Then the sanist of the insane are conditioned by the vault's computer system to then take over as the new doctors, the cycle repeats for 2 generations. But as we all know, "The Vaults were never really intended to save anyone" --------------------Khats Amazing Vault Experiments-------------------- I wish all ideas could be this awesome, I actually want to email these two to Big B, these are incredible!

Well thats a cool idea, but I mainly and I hate to mix Oblivion with Fallout (it's like ketchup and ice cream, they should never mix!). but I'd like the BoS to act like the factions in TES, where you join them and as you climb the ranks you get unique equipment, new shops, new reputation etc. Since I hate how uninvolved the BoS is in this game, in every other Fallout (we'll include Fallout 3 even though that wasn't the real BoS) they have at least a bit more involvement, in this one, you could practically not even bother to see them to complete the game. It's sad.

eh It's not a bump if you have an idea or two to offer so thank you for the contributions!

This is a really cool idea, I wanted to ask if you'd organize it a little bit and then repost it under the "Post Your Quest Mods" Thread, I'm trying to put as many good quest mod ideas in there so people can find them. Try to include a link to this thread at the end of your post so people can post about your with things like advice or offers to make it. Best of luck http://i54.tinypic.com/2n65jlv.png

Very cool idea Vault Pi, Don't forget to organize it and repost it on the "Post Your Quest Mods" Thread please. And for resources for modders to use to help make your idea can be found on the "Modders Resources Thread" ....And (I know its repeative) if you could....also post it on the "What Would Your Vaults Experiment be?" I say all that because I like your idea, and more places means more readers and more chance of it being made, you've always had cool quest ideas so keep up the good work! http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/8917/vaulttecquickmake.png

Just what I was looking for, this thread was very helpful.

Well I'm glad you went searching FIRST, I'll look into this and hopefully I'll find the mod or mods that enable you to do this. Likely the mod doesn't focus on the B-29 strike so its likely a side feature of a mod like Enclave commander or something similar.

Ah! A "Band of Brothers" outfit? 101st Airborne Easy Company! I'd love to see that outfit.

Didn't R.T.S do something similar to this? Perhaps not, but I do know that you should examine its workings anyways since a mod like this would benifit from a similar system, just a bit scaled down. =P

Hey everyone again, Our good contributor/friend kibblesticks has started a boxing ring model, but he says he doesn't have the time to finish it so if anyone on here would like to offer to finish or at least work on it abit then please post on his thread. A Boxing Ring Hopefully we'll see a rebirth of boxing in Fallout since Fallout 2

Now that we have a lot of interest in this thread, and even have one or two professional voice actors in the readers list. Can anyone suggest a good and afforable microphone for users who may want to volunteer in the future. And by a "good Microphone" I mean Good recording quality Cuts background noise somewhat (We don't need to hear someones little sister while an NPC threatens our character! =P) No static. Period. Easy to use, and can be used with most PCs and Macs. And by affordable I mean below $60, I feel that's pretty high but thats a good max amount since some people have the income to splurge on that, and its low enough for teens to buy it if they have a job or some very nice parents. No spam or I call moderators! but it may help the thread so please give your advice.

If it wasn't already known, this thread is (hopefull) becoming a mod soon thanks to AllenOcelot. If any modders want to join and help make it a reality then please post on his thread named "New Vegas Hunting Grounds" in Mod Talk or message him directly. Also while I'm here I've found a new "creature" to add to the list I've made so far. http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/topic/308174-protect-o-bots-ready-for-action/ A 4-wheeled protectotron, it looks quite formidable but lacks animation at the moment so please volunteer your services animators and bring that to "life" for all of us.

Very interesting, I'll try to find a modder to animate that first one, maybe a re-working of the sentry bots movement or using a scaled and multipled version of the secruitrons. Anyways I'll link this to a few places and hope for the best.

Hey Darthduo, I have some stuff similar to what you asked for, they're just models and none of them are of the Reach weapons since these are old models (non-copyright obviously) <---thats so they can be on Nexus. but despite that i'll post all the guns I have that are models of Halo weapons. and I'll include a few more on top of that, and hopefully a modeller will use them to make you some cool guns. "Also most if not all of the models suck somewhat since they all are from Google Sketchup (The MS paint of 3D modeling apparently)" Anyways here goes. -------------Basic Models To Use Possibly--------------- Here is the tutorial for possible modders wanting to use the models or others like them. From Google Sketchup To Fallout New Vegas ---------------------Halo Guns--------------------- Forerunner Gun Forerunner Sentials Covenant Carbine Coventant Beam Rifle Covenant Plasma Rifle Covenant Needler Another Needler Covenant Energy Sword Textured Energy Sword Covenant Fuel Rod Cannon Covenant Plasma Pistol Covenant MaulerCovenant Brute Shot Brute Spike Grenade Plasma Grenade Halo Fire Grenade Another Plasma Grenade Brute Gravity Hammer Covenant Weapon Projectiles 1 Covenant Weapon Projectiles 2 Human Shotgun Custom Human Shotgun Spartan Laser M6 Spartan Laser Another Spartan Laser Human Assualt Rifle Human Assasult Rifle Custom Human Magnum Pistol Human Battle Rifle Another Battle Rifle Yet Another Battle Rifle Custom Human Battle Rifle Human Rocket Launcher ---------------------Gears Of War Weapons--------------------- Gears Of War Assult Lancer Another Lancer GoW Lancer Rifle GoW "Gnasher" Shotgun Gears of War COG SIS Gears Of War Longshot Sniper Rifle Locust Hammerburst Rifle Locust Boomer Boomshot (Kinda Bad Model) ---------------------Weapons From Final Fantasy--------------------- Gunblade Seifers gunblade Squall's Gunblade Squall's Leonhart Gunblade Sephiroth's Masamune

Actually they are kind of hard to find, since most people do those as private mods, but I've seen retextures of the presidental suit for players that was black. The only suit color I know that hasn't been made is a pure (well it'd have to be grimy since anything clean in Fallout is ugly as hell) white suit, or a white fedora, since I wanted to remake Michael Jackson but I never found that suit from Smooth Criminal. Edit! Heres a thread with a similar topic and a mod or two. http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/topic/306553-suits/

Hey Kibble Sticks, Since you've contributed to the resource thread, I posted this up there and asked if one of the others might want to offer to finish it on there like pickinthebanjo or AllenOcelot. Hope it turns out well I'd love to see a boxing ring return to Fallout since Fallout 2. (Make sure its not too clean, blood splatters and dirt and grime are a must) Best of luck!

This has been done, there are several smoking mods, I know of one where you get bonus' for smoking and it forces the animation. and another mod doesn't add effects but you can "equip" a cigar/cigarette/cigarello/etc. and it's just for show. They're both easy to find on Nexus. But Idk the names and It's so easy to find that they don't need to be linked.

Well I'd offer to find you resources Allen but I already put all of them on the original thread, or on my "Modders Resources Thread" that you've posted on already. Still best of link I meant luck, and I've linked your request for modders on other sites so hopefully that'll get you some more members.
