With the release of AWOP (A World Of Pain) and mods similar to it, I thought I'd reopen this thread to discuss what else we can think of to include underneth the Mojave? Vaults? Horrorible dungeons? Museums that collapsed in on themselves with loot and all kept "safe" from prospectors for centuries? Enclave bases? Secret Labratories? Hidden or locked away cities? etc. I'd like to hear from others on their own ideas for underground related mod ideas.

Hey again, Recently some new resources came up on my resource thread I linked earlier, including one called "Hightown" with new unique neon signs from before New Vegas, so I just thought I'd let you know, and also I had a quick idea that might be hard to make but could be rather interesting to users. If the new resource has all 26 letters, perhaps you could make it possible for players to rename the Lucky 38 and put up a new sign out of those letters. The way I imagine it could be done is tiresome You place a copy of each letter in each position, then create an NPC that the player talks to and through him they chose what letter is in each position. Example: To make: L-U-C-K-Y 3-8 NPC - What do you want the first letter to be? List of choices from A-Z and possibly 1-9, and the option to leave it blank or a space. Player Choses: L ( A script then 'enables' the L letter in the first position, and disables all the others including one that was already enable in that position.) NPC - What do you want the second letter to be? Player Choses: U (Script enables U in the second position) etc.

Since I finally found a way to compress the list I'm putting my list of backstories on here to inspire some more job ideas. Well I made a list of backstory traits for a mod awhile back but it never made it past the idea phase, So I'll post it here and you can use it to give you ideas for more jobs

Well I made a list of backstory traits for a mod awhile back but it never made it past the idea phase, So I'll post it here and you can use it to give you ideas for little NPC stories/diaries Like the journals of a pre-war Mad Scientist who worked on creating deathclaws (Dc's are biological weapon creatures from the war.) or a lost tribal who learned how to use terminals.

To all the people who've read this topic before, I went back and organzied and added to my 2 original posts to better express my ideas. Thanks for the support and for reading everyone.

Yes I've heard of that mod, I believe it's called "NCR Recruitment" or simply "The NCR," And I'd suggest someone message that mods creator some of the ideas from this thread like Medic, and the other Faction based jobs, and perhaps he/she will include them.

Thats great, which design are you going to use as a guideline? The k-9 sketch I posted or the orginal "sprite" of K-9 from Fallout 2? I tried my best to keep the colors and things right, since he's enclave designed i stuck with gunmetal and steel colors, and bright white teeth.

Thank you very much, I had no idea you'd ported over those resources, I'll go back and add those to the list, and I'll also go back and check if any others have been ported recently by others as well.

Well we could always include a better cyborg Rex, but in Fallout he should've been a robotic dog body, with a dogs brain (Not Visable) inside him.

Well you know me, I've never let any of my ideas die or accept anything less than I want. If we actually create a decent looking cyberdog, I will hassle the community until I'm satisfied its an acceptable companion. Hell I'm still trying to work on S.E.R even though my team disappeared back in December. So it wouldn't be a souless doll companion that follows and is boring.

Hmm Well I'm not sure what I'll ask you to make at the moment, I'll try and think of one soon

Thank you both again for everything =[ wait I meant =] I suck at typing despite how often I'm posting.

Yeah its sad, but he will live on in our hearts and hopefully our mods. And yes there were other cyberdogs, only K-9 was intelligent supposidly, as mentioned above there was a second cyberdog companion in Fallout 2 (but he was like Rex, a regular dog brain) and he was a lot weaker, and actually described as K-9's "flaccid" counter-part. He was made by the NCR trying to copy the Enclave, while K-9 was an Enclave based work. So we can assume Rex is a badly made NCR-based cyberdog. Perhaps if we write it in, we could make it that when you take Rex to Dr. Richards (the one in Jacostown is also the one from the story above). Dr. richards will offer to upgrade him to an Enclave class of Cyberdog with full cybernetics and the intelligence boost, (Which I'm sure we can find a VA to do it, and likely there is voice editing software to make a robotic wolf/dog voice) Then after being given intelligence, quests could be added to "upgrade" Rex more, from crafting upgrades on workbenches from rare vanilla game items, to stumbling on new looks like I mentioned earlier (Steampunk Rex, Legion Rex, Alien Tech Rex, Rex 117 jk, etc.) Obviously that's what I'd like to see, but I'd suffice with a simple retexture of Rex from Brain-Bot cancer dog to actual cyberdog like K-9. The rest is just ideas on how to make him really interesting, like what someone did when the made ED-E start saying funny movie quotes.

Some recently suggested a Bioshock like vault, where there are no rules, everyone is intelligent and allowed to experiment as they see fit.

Oh yeah on another note I don't want to bring back K-9 since he is dead according to the Fallout Bible. (Issue 6) K-9 (from Navarro) "After getting his motivator repaired, K-9 was left in NCR by the Chosen One so that he could receive necessary repairs from Dorothy and, not long after his recovery, Dr. Henry (who had been placed in critical condition after being reportedly assaulted by the Chosen One some time earlier). Dr. Henry, afraid that too much information about the Enclave would be obtained from K-9, attempted to destroy the cyborg, but was stopped by cyberdog and Dorothy, who suspected what Dr. Henry was planning. The NCR government used the attack as an excuse to confiscate K-9 and cyberdog in order to learn more information about the Enclave as well as what makes the two of them "tick." At last report (and over Dorothy's objections), K-9 and cyberdog were disassembled and analyzed. Structural damage during the disassembling is reported to have killed them both."

Well I can understand you think that, but in Fallout 2 we had both the regular cyberbog and k-9 (Doctor who parody companion) who were both more like the dogs I put in the photos which is why I feel Rex is an abomination, he either should've been made like in Fallout 2 or they should have cut him from the game and included dogmeat or Ulysess instead. It makes little sense that the enclave appartently worked a lot with cyberdogs according to dialog in New Vegas, so why does Rex look like his has cancer, mange, and is weak as a squirell without teeth

To Floatsup, If you want an interesting robotic voice, when not use a Guilt Spark effect? I'm using the spoiler thing to save space, and the site I found this on is about to disappear so I'm saving the tutorial as well.

Ignore this post I've moved its content to the second post.

I saw this thread, and wanted to ask if any of you was willing to post some advice to people wanting to learn to script or to beginners over at my How To Become A Modder Thread. It'd be really helpful since I believe the community desperately needs more people who are able to create scripted content.

Also if you need more help try looking around the "How to become a Modder" thread, it has links to tutorials and forums members you can ask advice from as well.

Theres already a large thread for this that I set up awhile back, If theres a mod you'd like voiced simply post there with a short description of the mod and characters you need Glad to see we think alike! Heres the thread. Thread For Voice Actors and The modders who need them! http://i55.tinypic.com/v42q2t.png Edit: I just saw the previous post...oh well.

Sorry Fallout lore states very earler that horses were too weak and unintelligent to survive, so they'll never be in a Fallout game without mods. Try a bighorner. =P

Here are a few more armors I came across today. Retriever Operated Suit M4 Sedition Powered Combat Suit The Measure of a Man - Is how big a gun he can fire! Forerunner Paladin Captain Armor Concept And a cyberdog drawing because I desperatly loved cyberdogs in Fallout 2 and I utterly despise Rex the dying cancer/mange junk-bot. http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs12/f/2006/333/8/0/Cyberdog_by_Stina_N.jpg

Yes but the trouble would be making sure it has absolutely nothing from oblivion in it, one texture or mesh and boom, banned. Oh a happier note, I went out and found some more pictures to draw ideas from. Some arn't the greatest, but they're just for ideas. http://i55.tinypic.com/m0rk9.jpg Link to gun from photo Looks like a Steampunk 9mm Steampunk Pistols Steampunk Hand Shotgun Western Steampunk, I post this one because the gun is nice. Well, while not a complete concept, I'd like this one to be called, Lions Roar, or perhaps Lions Bite? Steampunk rifles I thought the wings were cool, maybe a robotic Cazador? Steampunk Radscorpians!! A must-have for your Mad scientist career in the wasteland!

Very cool, well I hope to see from you more often Jeff, If you ever need assitance with modding I do beleive there are several veterns invloved in this thread and other threads of mine that you could ask for assistance. If its modeling you need help with then pm one of the people from my "Modders Resources and New Models" thread, as those 4 or 5 guys all seem rather talented and have made quite a bit of content. I don't know any good scripters unfortunately, I wish I did....as that seems to be the lifeblood of a good mod (And I have 2 dead mods because I can't ever find a person willing or who can script) As for retexturing and things, will it seems there are lots of people who do that even if they don't make mods, a lot of people do it just to customize thingss for themselves.
